Wet Paint Nail Spa

I've been a customer since the opened at their first location a few doors down. Always super professional, friendly and fun, and the best manicures/pedicures I've ever had, great colors AND long-lasting. Michelle and her staff are always up to date with the latest in nail care and spa products, and the spa is as eco-friendly as can be as well. Also, what could be better than spending time unwinding with smart & funny women & supporting a local small business? :) I've moved away but will visit whenever I'm back in the area. Highest recommendation. more

The manicure was OK, certainly nothing special. It chipped badly after less then two days, so I had to go back to my regular place for a touch up. The woman treating me (i think she was the owner) kept going on and on about how I take care of my nails, in an overly condescending way for my taste. She was pushy and tried to sell me on other things I didn't want. I don't know about you, but I go to the nail salon to relax, not to be schooled or sold to. WONT GO BACK!! Cons: pushy staff, chipped nails after 2 days! more

Not a Boston native, I made a reservation here for me and two friends while vacationing. I was able to make three back-to-back appointments with only a week's notice. About a 20-minute walk from Harvard Square, we found it easily. The decor inside is great, with brightly painted walls and upbeat music. All three of us were first-timers for a manicure so a bit unsure about what to expect. Michelle was wonderful, giving advice about general nail care as well as helping us choose complimentary shades. The atmosphere was very welcoming, as conversation flowed easily and it had a real small-town-neighborhood-feel. All in all, I was about 95% satisfied with my manicure (it chipped within minutes and the coverage wasn't even on a few nails), though understand that no one can be a miracle worker... I recommend it. more

The owner, Michelle Phoenix, is funny, smart, and knowledgeable about all things ""nail"". She and her staff are professional, friendly, and attentive to their clients needs and desires. The shop is clean, well maintained with an interesting, bright decor. You know that your hands and feet will be expertly cared for and look beautiful as well. more

As a runner it is critical that I care for my feet. Wet Paint Nails keep my feet looking beautiful all year round. I love the atmosphere and the camaraderie in the shop. They do a great job of pampering with tea, magazines and great conversation. More importantly the shop doesn't smell and they are fastidious about cleanliness and safety. I highly recommend this shop to all. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: Parking if not a Cambridge resident more

After having my first child, I figured it was time to get back in shape! My feet took a beating during my pregnancy and then from my subsequent running. I visited Wet Paint because they offered a ""fit feet"" pedicure - OMG - It was FANTASTIC! At the end of the pedicure, my feet were smoother than my baby's bottom! :) He was jealous! Seriously, my feet looked and felt fantastic. All the icky hard stuff was gone and it lasted forever. I make a special trips out to visit the saon and now that I know they do not use harsh chemicals - I will continue to visit them! The fit feet is great for athletes and pregnant people too! Thank you Wet Paint!!!!!"" Pros: no smelly ""fake"" nail aroma! Cons: parking, but there is a spot in the back! more

The best you?ll find! The shop is inviting and your experience there is like the comforts of your own home! Michelle is hospitable, funny, and pleasant, but most of all her expertise makes this visit a must for any man or woman! Pros: great service, great prices, great products Cons: nothing bad to say about this place! more

The environment is cool and relaxing, so it's a great place for men to get the pedicure service they so desperately need! The pedis are great, your feet will look amazing, and the customer orientation and personalized attention will make you feel right at home. more

This place is lovely -- from the welcoming window displays to the warm, funky interior. The staff is quite knowledgable and friendly. The owner welcomes people with children and has activities for them. For mani and pedis, look no further! more

I can't think of going anywhere else for mani/pedis. The proprietress is friendly, fabulous, and incredibly knowledgeable. The shop has a neighborhood feel with the best customer service I've ever experienced. This is no ""churn and burn 'em"" place - each client gets individual attention and great service. Pros: The service! more

The owner of the nail salon not only cares deeply about nail and skin health, but is also well knowledgable and patient in describing techniques for maintaining nail and skin health. Extremely friendly, prompt, and professional service, I'd recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Pros: Everything!! more

i love this place. it's clean and colorful and they give great manicures and pedicures. my fingers have stayed polished for more than a week! they really care about your 'skin health' as well as painting your nails nicely and explain why they do each step. it was a fun little lesson on why they use the specific products they chose for my service. you should check it out. Pros: they know their stuff, they only serve 2 clients at a time, so you don't get that assembly line feeling and they have a parking space in back, which is key in cambridge more
