When I first moved into my first apartment in Allston, I was so psyched to find out that Star Nails offered $7 eyebrow waxes and $10 manicures. But what I quickly found out is you get what you pay for! Even when I made an appointment in advance, I would have to wait 25 minutes to be seen, even though there were only 2 people getting a pedicure. The eyebrow waxes were painful and didn't do much other than clean my face up - there was no arch, shaping, etc. And the lotion they slathered on my face made me break out! Manicure was OK, pedicure wasn't great. It's a clean environment, but the customer service and quality of waxing/manicures weren't much to write home about. I suggest Chez Bella for eyebrow waxes around the corner - only $10 ($9 with a student ID) and they're so much better!
Pros: Cheap, clean
Cons: Customer service, quality of the job
