Central Nails in Wakefield, RI

very good and very welcoming. honestly i would come again and would make others toooo.

On a whim, I decided to get my nails done after having a fabulous brunch at Rachel's Cafe a few doors down. It was about noon on a Friday. There were 2 customers being serviced and I had this very odd feeling when I walked in (can't explain it but I kind of wanted to turn around and leave, but i didn't)...

I asked if they had time for a gel mani, they said yes, and I noticed they had dip so asked if I could do dip instead.... The female worker said yes and then said something that I didn't quite catch (she was working on a customer's Pedi and basically had her back to me) but I walked in the direction she pointed. I asked (politely) where the color samples were and she angrily responded that she told me to sit down in chair number 4 and the samples were RIGHT HERE, even getting up from her customer's pedi to put me in my place.

Wow, I no idea where that attitude was coming from and since I already had this odd feeling when I walked in, I said "I'm sorry, I really don't think this is going to work for me today. Thank you." And I turned around to leave.

She then had the audacity to say something about how she told me to sit down and where the colors were... but she was kind of yelling at me, so I said "I'm sorry, but I did not understand what you said" and she replied with something like "yeah, that's good you leave, buh-bye".

I'm still confused where that attitude came from because it was certainly uncalled for and inappropriate. I had never been there before and had I read the reviews prior to going, I wouldn't have gone.

I would give this place ZERO stars if I could.

I have been to Central Nails several times. I especially liked it because it's never very busy. Days after my last visit for a pedicure I developed Athlete's foot. I'm never bare foot and live alone so I am not exposed to anything else that could have caused this.
My daughter went a couple of weeks after me and noticed their brushes and whatever they scrub your feet with looked old and worn. She didn't feel that they were very clean and was paying special attention after my issue. She had her pedi and was encouraged to sit under the fan for a few minutes. My daughter paid the woman who did her pedi as soon as she was done. As she was walking out the door a different woman who had no interaction with her ran out yelling and asking if she paid. After my daughter said yes she asked again. She's an adult and does not look like a person who would skip out on paying for a service. The woman clearly didn't check with the tech who did my daughter's pedi before being so rude and off putting. They have definitely lost two customers for good.

Very clean, very professional owners, always love my gel nails and pedicures! Very relaxing, too!

If I could give 0 stars I would. I went in for a simple fill and the whole time they told me that it would look ugly. They refused to use the color I wanted as well. Do NOT waste your time and money.
