Manicures and pedicures, commonly referred to as a mani/pedi, are a guilty pleasure and a great form of pampering. The hand and foot massages, the hot stone leg rubs, nail polish colors and more make this treatment such a special treat for most people. The polish choice can be a neutral to carry the wearer through the week or a bold color statement, just for fun. Hygiene and cleanliness are of the utmost importance when having a mani/pedi, and these Boston area establishments are scrupulously aware of the health precautions that must be enforced.

This nail salon is one of the cleanest and most hygienic in the area. The staff uses a fresh foot bath liners for every client, autoclave all equipment and they always wear protective masks and gloves. One major perk at Aer Nailbar is the use of a power sander to get rid of unwanted foot callouses. This is such a bonus treatment, especially during sandal season. The standard pedicure deep, hot stone foot and calf rub is delightful and so relaxing. The personable technicians are great and use Essie, OPI, Zoya and other fine nail polishes to please the clients.
