I love coming here. I called last minute and they were able to fit me in for a manicure and pedicure. I loved how good my nails looked afterwards and how long it lasted. And as an added bonus I had the most delightful back and neck massage at the end while my nails dried.

Excellent customer service. Free back massage with a manicure or pedicure. I would definitely recommend giving this nail salon a try. I love it here. My nails look great.

Who should go to Kathy's: people looking for a quick, cheap service with an amazing back massage. Gel mani and pedi for only 50$, plus a 5-10 minute back massage with every service, in and out in an hour. This place is a DREAM in my opinion.
Who shouldn't go to Kathy's: if you're super picky about what your nails look like, or getting a mani/pedi is a way to get out of the house for a while - maybe you won't love it as much.
Don't get me wrong, they do a decent job with nails. But the 5 stars is for the price, efficiency (if they're not busy they'll do your mani and pedi at the same time!!), and the MASSAGE!
Did I mention the massage? :)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Diane S.Boston, MA01Dec 29, 2021
Well...to be honest I liked how my nail turned out kind of but I told her specifically that I made my nails grow just for this and she cut them so short and once we were done it was time for the massage and I was exited because I saw a lady that as before me and her massages looked good, when it was my turn the lady only put the warm towel on me and after a little she massages my neck with the oil and it burned like WHY and my neck cracked which I don't think is good. The end result was not THAT bad just short...

Not the fanciest of places with an unassuming store front, but they do an amazing job. Most affordable mani pedi I've found in the area. And the way they do a manicure makes the paint last longer than any place I've been to. The leg /foot massage for a pedi and the back/neck/arm massage with the mani are an amazing bonus!

Kathy's is the best! Ive been coming here for years! I moved two years ago, and still don't mind driving an hour to Kathy's because it's the most affordable quality mani/pedi with good customer service. They're always friendly, you get a free, quick back/neck massage at the end of each visit, and I can go three or for weeks between each gel mani with no chips. I just file them a little when they get too long. I love Kathy's and will continue to come here as long as they're open!

While it isn't a fancy place I got my nails done there over 3 weeks ago (gel mani) and they STILL HAVEN'T CHIPPED! I am going back simply because my nails grew out! I have never had this happen and am now a customer for life! The massage you get is a great added bonus also. Highly recommend

I have mixed feelings about this place but overall I left feeling "Meh. I've experienced better".
I've been a couple times and while they pride themselves on their massages their nail skills are lacking. I got a pedicure which was decent. The technician spent a good amount of time massaging my feet but there was no scrub or hot towels. She totally rushed through my manicure. She made my pinky bleed (I can't remember the last time that happened) and didn't seem to care. The filing and paint job wasn't bad though.
After the mani you are moved over for a complimentary massage - which they don't communicate well. I knew it was coming but if I didn't I'd be like WTH is going on here? They do spend a good while massaging. I'd say 15 minutes and go over your back, shoulders, arms, head. I was alarmed at first when she didn't lotion my hands during the mani (again no hot towel) but she did it during the massage. What really bothered me is one of the other manicurists NUDGED me over to make room for her client - no excuse me no vocalized communication just kind of pushed me over - I would have said something but my nails were finally dry and I was dying to get out of there.
The salon is on the cheaper side - $35 for a mani/pedi but I really believe you get what you pay for. Kathy's is really small, dingy, has no decor. They have a limited color selection. Although the massage was great I come to a nail salon for nails and good customer service and I don't think I'll be back here.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
