Very good mani pedi! I haven't gotten my nails done professionally in over a year and I've been in dire need of a "treat me" nail appointment. Pauline was very sweet and took care of my needs as well as putting on some tv we could both enjoy and talk about. It was a one-on-one service that I would be happy to recommend to anyone that likes to sit back and enjoy the service! She takes her time and works with you so it's not painful at all when she works your cuticles or any of that. Thanks Pauline for taking care of my nails today!

Pauline gives the best manicure you can get. My shellac manicures have literally never lasted so long and I have searched for a good solution to this problem for years being somewhat hard on my nails with what I do for a living. No one will spend as much time and care on your nails as she will and she uses high quality products with lots of color options. On top of that she is a wonderfully positive and inspirational person. The studio space is quiet and peaceful and you will not feel like a number on a list. 5 Stars all the way around.

Wow I was shocked with the quality of my nails after my appointment with Pauline! She took the time to get to know my nails and pick the polish suited best for me, as well as taking the time to get to know me. Pauline is kind and is an amazing positive person. She even waited for me to make it to my car safely. My nails have never looked better for the price I payed! I payed 40 dollars for my previous gel nails to be removed and for her to carefully shape and polish my nails to perfection. After I was done she gave me samples as well as a cuticle oil to apply in my car. I have been to many places that charge me well over 40 dollars and my nails have never looked nearly as good as they do now! If you are looking for a kind woman to take the time and care for your hands, come here! You won't be disappointed! After such a great experience I'm definitely coming back!

First of all, I want to say that Pauline is a wonderful person. Yes, she is flexible, thorough, positive, sweet, kind, generous, intelligent... I could go on. But she really is just a supremely caring person. Who else has a manicurist that texts you asking if you made it home safely?! Her genuine people-first approach is hard to find these days. When she reaches out to me, it never has anything to do with making a sale or anything like that, it's usually to make sure I made it home safely or to send me something I asked her to send me! Secondly, she is a phenomenal manicurist. She takes her time to make sure that she understands what you want and that she's getting in front of anything that could cause an issue down the line. She always cleans up my edges of my nails and cuticles prior to putting them in the UV light to cure. The only time I've had gel lift, is because I stupidly used a Magic Eraser without gloves and it messed up 3 of my nails. This was about 2.5-3 weeks into the manicure, by the way, and even then I was able to text her and get her to fix the three nails right away before I left for out of town. I'm about to go to the follow up of that manicure, and I'll attach a picture of how incredible my nails STILL look FIVE weeks later!!! Thirdly, there are a few things you should know to decide if Pauline is right for you. 1. Pauline loves communicating, and she is so good at accepting feedback - so speak up if you have concerns or expectations, trust me she will go out of her way to accommodate you. 2. She is THOROUGH! In your first 2 appointments, expect your appointment to go a bit longer than your average nail appointment. She isn't someone who speaks little English and is just trying to get you in and out the door. Pauline is great for people who enjoy the experience of having a relationship with their manicurist and who value communicating what they want. As she gets to know you and your style, your appointments will go faster (though sometimes we just chat a long time anyway, haha). 3. The last thing you should know is that Pauline works with natural nails and doesn't do enhancements. She does a fabulous job with gel and regular polish. She puts a lot of emphasis on maintaining the integrity of your natural nail and has never drilled or buffed layers of my nails off. In conclusion, I've never had healthier, longer-lasting manicured nails than when I started going to see Pauline. If you value the same things I do in a manicurist, then she's the one for you. I almost don't want her to get too popular because I love the ability of getting in with her last minute ;) but she's just to good to keep to myself. If you go see Pauline, you won't be sorry!

There is good, better, best, then there is Pauline! Ah-maz-ing (I saw amazing spelled like this as I watched a show closed caption). I wanted to get my nails done and looked for a place using my trusty (almost fail proof) source: Yelp! and came across Phalanges Manicure Studio. The reviews, and importantly photos *yelling* DO NOT LIE! First: She is amazing (I said that before), secondly, her studio is so relaxing, CLEAN! and inviting. I read reviews before I booked so I knew what to expect, but my expectations were better than what I expected. There was no wait and I was in the chair at my appointment time: Yes ma'am! Pauline is thorough with explaining YOUR nails and shape, products to help your manicurist (cuticle oil; Haha), and how long my nails should last. Our conversation span multiple subjects and it was as if I was talking with a friend I've known for years. Not only do I recommend her, I'm going to say whatever day you choose to treat yourself, I encourage you to book an appointment with Pauline that day as you will not be disappointed! Also, make sure your text for your appointment! Last note, she takes her time so trust her process and appreciate your personal treatment! I will most definitely book again! *I cannot upload pictures to Yelp for whatever reason, but believe my Emma Gel Golden Nights nude color look ah-maz-ing!* Fix it Yelp!

Disappointed! !!! I paid over $ 81.00 for a service that didn't last 24 hours. And it was supposed to be a deluxe pedicure. It was a little deceiving once I arrived, there was no spa chair and just a basic foot spa ( resembled something that you would have at home). It took her 3 hours and I was her only client. I was advised to wait 24 hrs to wear shoes, after that time the polish still smeared. Initially, Pauline seemed sincere and professional. However, when I called twice to get the issue resolved she never responded. Great lesson, never believe 5 star reviews, you have to experience it for yourself!!

My husband and I are Boston transplants as of last year and our bi weekly nail salon visits are always a priority for us. When we moved I was sad to leave our nail techs in Boston and had very high standards of what we liked and expected for nail services. We tried a few local Royal Oak and Birmingham salons but didn’t find anything we really liked. I found Pauline at Phelanges by chance on a google search and saw her stellar reviews and decided to give her a try. A year later we are devoted clients of Pauline’s and her work is always consistent, space is impeccably clean and Pauline has a wonderful personality to boot! You won’t be disappointed!
