Coco Nail & Spa

The sign outside reads Gel manicure 28 dollars. They do not tell you until after you get the manicure this is only if you pay in cash. With a card it is 37! There is no atm either

The place is nice but the polish skill was bad plus a bossy female boss who will make u not coming back for that attitude.

Very clean place and staff are very nice and accommodating. It’s my new ‘place’. I used to go to Great Nails for years but have since converted. The spa pedicures are way better. You actually feel like you are getting so much more for what you are paying. I hate this whole pay tax now but I guess all places are doing that. I would almost rather they raise the price .75 so we can deal with full dollars again!

I almost didn’t pay attention to my manicure. I was too busy enjoying my massage.
At first, I was intimidated to go into this place because I assumed the prices would be expensive. I mean, it is a nice nail salon, and it is in Stamford. However, I decided to give it a try. Manicure is $ 10, and I got two massages – during the manicure, and while my nails were drying. The massages were great!
Overall, I highly recommend this place. My only peeve was the music (a mix of Avril Lavigne and R. Kelly. I couldn’t relax with Avril screaming over the speakers).

Do not get a leg wax from here. They have no idea what they are doing, I am sure they are great with nails from all the clients, but they use sticks double dipped in wax and they blow on it. It took forever and two people to wax my legs.

Being from Massachusetts, this whole concept of a free back massage while your manicure dries is completely new to me. And I love it. Now at Coco, the massage happens both during the manicure. and while drying. And it’s amazing. Usually I am very fidgety during a manicure session. but with the massage distracting me, I almost wished it went on longer.
Coco is super clean, and very comfortable. The ladies are all very friendly and just happy to assist. And, the manicure lasted almost a week. which for me, is something of a record. So worth the $ 10. Every week.

I managed to find a place in CT that did shellac nails for less than $ 70 which was a small miracle. I’m so used to getting OPI Axxium and Gelish done whenever and wherever I want on the west coast for like $ 30 I guess I was spoiled.
Got a basic pedicure about 2 weeks ago. Girl did a great job, was super happy and it still looks great. Now for the nails.
3 different people worked on my nails. This always gives me anxiety because I start worrying about the tip situation and wondering why can’t just one person do them. The first girl did the prepping, she was fun and super nice and made great conversation. The second woman that worked on my nails took her time and was very meticulous but didn’t talk at all, and when I tried to talk to her she just nodded even though she definitely understood and spoke english. I should mention that while the second woman was working on my nails, one of the other ladies that worked there was hovering over the nail station the entire time and continuously talking to her in Korean.
THEN there was a walk in for an eyebrow wax. This is when it all went really wrong. The 2^nd woman got up to help the girl and I ended up with the front desk woman painting shellac on my nails. If it had been standard nail polish it would have been fine but i KNOW shellac and colored gel nails in general need to be painted on and cured under the UV lamp a certain way otherwise they get drippy and weird. Needless to say by the time lady #2 got back to help me again my nails were an absolute disaster. She was visibly upset and irritated and started trying to paint more of the shellac over the messed up parts and cure them again in order to fix them while she is yelling at and scolding lady #3. Mind you, this entire time nobody has said a single word to me (not even a «hey be right back, she’s going to fill in for me for a sec» or «hey sorry your nails look absolutely bunk I’ll totally fix them») and I’m sitting there like a moron wondering what to do. So finally I asked «Is everything ok?» again I got ignored and got the nod.
45 minutes later (add that to the 45 mins it already took to mess them up) and I have nails filed down to the bed and a new set of shellac. They looked okay but I definitely demanded a discount and was given one but still, no apology, no explanation, nothing. In my opinion that is not customer service so I will not be returning to this location for my nails. I will just stick to their pedicures.

I love this nail spa. It is so nice and spacious! The service is great and you can usually get an appointment if you walk in. They do bridal parties and other parties, including fun gift bags! They also treat you to a very awesome neck massage as your nails are drying. Love this place!
