About Lovely Nails
On Newport Ave in Rumford, Lovely Nails is a nail salon open to appointments booked in advance. It operates daily, giving people a consistent option throughout the week for scheduling visits. As an appointment based salon, the shop structures its day around booked slots rather than walk-in traffic. The Newport Ave address places it along a stretch of the avenue accessible to those traveling through Rumford. Clients arrange their visits ahead of time, and the daily schedule means the salon does not close for a regular day off during the week.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply on gel manicures and pedicures here. Several praise nail longevity, with one describing gel nails lasting a full month without a chip and another calling a pedicure the best they'd received, crediting specific techs by their work rather than name. Longtime customers describe a family tradition of returning to the same nail tech for years across multiple generations. But chipping and durability complaints recur just as often: one reviewer's gel polish slid off during a session, another saw a Mickey Mouse design chip within a day, and a third reported a manicure peeling within three days. Rushed service is a repeated thread too, including a tech aggressively pulling at a customer's hands despite her stated anxiety, and a rushed eighteen-dollar manicure called unclean. One reviewer also describes a tech eating in front of them mid-manicure, and another cites a filthy facility needing cleaning. Pricing drew mixed reactions, with a twenty-five-dollar gel pedicure seen as a bargain by one customer and a forty-dollar version called only average by another.

“Has gone down hill! Went last month, did a gel on my fingers, but didn't have time to do gel on my toes. When I do 3 coats at home, I dry in between coats so it doesn't take too long to dry or get sticky. Well, the tech didn't do that. After sitting there for 2 1/2 hours. Checked to see if they were dry on my big toe & the polish just slid off. I told them I didn't have time to sit any longer for them to fix it and just to take it all off so I can get going and not late for my date. Meanwhile, not only did I get an attitude, but while this was all going on...one of the techs there had their toddler running around all over the place getting into stuff, and very talkative. Despite the fact that he was a little cutie, my spa experience was not at all relaxing before my date night. They did however, take $10.00 off my $80.00 bill. So, there's that!”
