Reviews of ThuLan Nail Retreat and Braid lounge

Jessica Wright BSDH

I was a walk-in on my lunch break. The owner Lani greeted me with warmth and kindness. I was seated right away. Jennifer was my nail technician and she did a wonderful job with my gel refill. I love the shape and she took her time with buffing and shaping. Very relaxed and welcoming environment. I will be returning.

Abby Grey

This place is fantastic! It’s a lovely space and the women who work there are so kind and talented. She somehow turned my tiny, chewed up nails into strong healthy looking nails with the dip powder extensions and a gel manicure. 1 week later and they still look great.

Lani is the best! I’m visiting from out of town and broke three nails and she fixed them very quickly and thought to add silver! Thanks again :)

I received a beautiful dip powder set. The result was gorgeous, professional-looking nails. All my specifications were met too. The environment was very relaxing and clean. I highly recommend this nail salon!!

Giovanna Velazquez

The service was the best. She makes sure you feel welcome and comfortable. I had a Pedicure Spa done. I love the massages and the hole experience it’s the best. Definitely I will be back!

Magaly Toledo

I went for a pedicure and foot massage with Lana for myself and for my daughter and it was such an AMAZING experience!!! I felt like I was walking on clouds after that!!! She was sooo nice!! I'll definitely be returning to her.

Monique Domingo

This was my first time at ThuLan Nail Retreat and it was amazing! Not only was Lani incredibly kind to go out of her way to fit my schedule for my graduation, but she was also very thorough in the quality of her work. She helped me pick the perfect colors for my dress, made me feel relaxed, and reviewed every detail of my nails before I left. I will definitely come back and I most certainly recommend!

Christin Walsh

This was the best pedicure of my life! The whole experience was really outstanding. The atmosphere was peaceful, so clean, and really, really fun. Lany went above and beyond in pampering my girlfriends and I... I'm 39 weeks pregnant and she picked out the perfect massage on the chair for me, got a heating pad for my back, and really made my feet look and feel beautiful, which is saying a lot since I haven't been able to reach them for a few months 😁. They also offer a great nail polish that is free from harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, so the salon even smelled great! I am so pleased and will be back! I have found my go-to salon. Thanks, Lany!

Melisa Adiram

What a gem of a place! It was my very first visit and I had a pedicure done last Monday so I had Lani all to myself. She prepared tea and served it on a beautiful platter. She offered me a heated pad to put behind my neck which was so relaxing. The color selection is fabulous and she recommended Zoya polish, which made a huge difference. I chose the executive pedicure and it’s a great price for all you receive. My toes and feet look and feel wonderful and I’m so impressed with the level of care Lani provides. The salon itself is really a retreat and such a soothing environment from the plants to the piano music. I will be back, also I believe she is only going to be accepting cash from now on, so just keep that in mind.

NOT A PAID ADVERTISEMENT! I already know I am not an easy person to please when it comes to quality nail salon care, especially when already having an established relationship with another nail tech for several years. After trying multiple other locations when I moved to the area, I came across Lanny through a Google search and thought I'd give her a try (after reading her reviews). I will say I have never experienced the level of care, patience, and quality of work as I have with Thulan Nail Retreat. It only took 1 visit to know this would be my forever location for hand, foot, and waxing needs. Not only is the atmosphere INSANELY relaxing, the quality and care shown sets her above any nail tech I have ever come across. Very rarely do reviews but the quality of her work and dedication to clients has me doing so. Worth the try, you won't regret it!

sage awakening

Had a lovely pedicure yesterday! Was a bit nervous going due to the pandemic, however I was very well taken care of. I was the only person receiving a service in the whole salon, so I felt very comfortable and even special! The woman taking care of me was very nice and had a warm personality. She did a fantastic job taking care of me. This is my new pedicure spot!

Virginia Killian Lund

An absolutely lovely, peaceful, pampering experience. The spa pedicure is the best I’ve ever had, and the nail technicians are so talented and kind. You will leave this place with gorgeous nails and an uplifted spirit.

Melanie Moreno

This place was phenomenal! Staff was super sweet. The attention to detail and cleanliness was incomparable. I got a french mani/pedi, they're still in perfect condition a week and a half later and I see them lasting much longer! Thanks Lani!

Kaitlyn Bellenger

Absolutely amazing! Probably the best nail place I’ve ever been too. The service was relaxing and I left feeling beautiful. It’s just a nail salon it’s a nail retreat!!

Sara McDowell

I went to see Thulan on a Weds afternoon on my lunch break and I loved the quiet, peaceful and pretty atmosphere - I felt calm and welcomed and treated well. I appreciate that she was very thorough with my gel pedicure and, they came out beautifully! She is funny and sweet and cares about her job, you can tell! Just a little note: try to bring cash as small businesses have to pay large fees on credit card transactions. Thank you, Thulan! :)

Lindsay Glick

ThuLan Nail Retreat was an amazing find!! It was relaxing, calm, and comforting. The pedicure I got was probably the best I’ve ever had, with hot stones and paraffin wax. Fantastic place!

michelle farr

I have never had such a relaxing pedicure in my life! The atmosphere and service was so relaxing with the music, water sounds, massage chair, cleanliness, and all the little details to my pedicure. Lany and her staff really know how to pamper others! The drive was worth it for sure! Already planning on who I will share this little hidden treasure with for my next experience 🙂 Oh almost forgot .... the pricing for my experience was beyond reasonable!

Michelle Reyes

I'm from out of town and my sister and I decided to go here to have the executive pedicure. The salon is beautifully decorated and all the products they use for our pedicures were natural and smell amazing. The massage chair was such a treat and the warm pack for the neck and the lower back was so comforting. We love the massage with the stones and we love the nail color that we chose. I got shellac and my sister got regular polish and we're both very happy with the service and the staff. Everyone was really nice :-)

latavia mckenzie

I ABSOLUTLEY LOVEE LANI! she was sooo sweet & my nails are amazing.I was running late and she still took me and didn't rush and do my nails sloppy so she could lock up and leave .she really took her time & did a great job!! ILL WITHOUT A DOUBT be going back!! wish I could give 10 stars

Tanasia Barber

Lani definitely did her thing 🤗 great service & my nails are beautiful 🥰 I couldn't ask for a better birthday set 🥳 very elegant too ❗ I definitely recommend all my lady's to check them out. …

Finally. This is only place around here that's ever going to touch my nails. It's more expensive than others, but you get every dime you pay for back in great skills and service. The dip job I had there was easily the best one I ever got. It's also the most relaxing nail salon I've been to. It smells so fresh and clear because the owner, Lani, doesn't do acrylics or anything else with unnecessary fumes. She doesn't use any products with formaldehyde, either. Did I mention that she's a sweetheart? I was worried I'd have trouble finding a good nail place in Hartford; now I'm worried I won't find anything this good when I move back home next year.

Merly Downey

Love love this place. Excellent work and love my nails. Thank you so much! 💞 …

Yadie Galarza

I took my daughter and 3 of her friends for manicures and pedicures for her 12th Birthday. I must say Lany was so kind and so Wonderful. She took our temps and had us sanitize our hands. She explained to the girls. Every step she was very sweet and the girls had a great time. Highly recommend this wonderful spa. Thank you to the staff and to Lany.

Kyle W.

My fiance has been going to this place for a while now and she finally got me to go to get my eyebrows done. Lany is super sweet and nice. She was very sweet the first time I went there, and she made the experience of getting my eyebrows waxed as comfortable as possible. she even gave me a lollipop after! We have been going there for a few months now and she knows us by name and treats us like family. This place is awesome and I would recommend it to any guy weary of getting there eyebrows waxed.

Sydney Jeanloz

Best pedicure I’ve ever gotten! They offered beverages (including wine!) which was really nice and they were meticulous in their work. They did a paraffin wax treatment and also had warm neck pillows. I almost fell asleep because I was so relaxed! I live in Bristol but I’ll definitely be driving the distance because it’s so worth it!

Kate Mordarski

I loved it here! Out of all the nail places I've been to, ThuLan has the most relaxing atmosphere. And when the color I chose still wasn't covering completely after two coats, instead of just leaving it at two, she took the extra time to do three coats for me. I originally came to ThuLan because my boyfriend got me a Groupon for Christmas, but now I'm definitely going to be a returning customer!

Sharon Smith

I was looking for a nail salon through yep who could provide me with a a full package including eyebrow tints. The owner reached out to me, I told her everything that I wanted she quoted me a price I booked my appointment; she then told me that because I were having a lot done the eyebrow tint would be complementary. The service was very professional, the atmosphere was relaxing, they even give you refreshing fruit water. This is my new nail salon (5) 👍🏾

Jonathon Dinis

Mens manicure, nail design. Exclusive tribal print style

Maggie Conde

I came in today after a disastrous visit at another nail salon. My nails were thick and uneven, the powder dip technique was done incorrectly and the colors (it was supposed to be ombre) did not look right. When I arrived I was greeted professionally and warmly. The nail tech, which happens to be the owner, listened and analyzed my problem. She came up with a solution and I tell you, my nails look FANTASTIC! I am definitely coming back.

Nubi Benu

The owner was kind personable and professional the salon was peaceful and had a calm and serene ambiance she offers hot green tea and yogurt while your getting your treatment they have massage chairs going as well I got the standard pedicure while the person I was with got the spa treatment which you really get your moneys worth with the pedicures both come with hot stone massages wonderful experience highly recommended

Ashley Arbo

I chipped one nail that was previously done at a different salon (it was SNS). I went to a salon that was closer to my home to try and get it fixed and they dismissed me saying they couldn’t match it! So I went a little farther down the street to ThuLan Nail Retreat and was welcomed in and treated like any other customer getting a full manicure! They tried very hard to match my color with SNS but instead went with an SNS base and topped it with gel polish. The end result was amazing and they even put an extra top coat on my other nails to match the perfection of the nail they fixed! Their attention to detail and customer service was so amazing! They just gained a new customer! Highly recommend!

Jashaira Torres

I had such a great experience here. As soon as I walked in with my mother they greeted as if we were long time customers. We called 15 mins ahead to see if they were available and they took us in and had our pedicure baths ready for us. They gave us complimentary wine and heating pads for around our necks. They used a sugar scrub with lemon grass for our leg massages and on top of that they not o ly used hot towels but hot rocks that felt AMAZING in those hard to reach areas around your ankles and bottom of your feet. They had calm music playing and thwy allowed you to relax without disrupting your peace. If I could I would give this place 10 stars! Its is a little pricey but well worth it!! Keep it up ladies

Thulan Nail Retreat is a gorgeous and relaxing oasis that will take you away from the stressors of everyday life while the professional and warm staff pamper you. There's a reason I've been coming here for as long as it's been open, and have been seeing Lany, the amazing owner, for years before that. Thulan Nail Retreat is a truly special place. Lany does the best eyebrow and upper lip wax I've ever experienced. So good that when I moved to the shoreline an hour away I still came to see her every two weeks. She and her staff provide the most incredible manicure and pedicures as well. They can even do intricate and beautiful nail art. Upon arrival, you will be offered a beverage, and if you are getting your nails done, asked to pick a color from the wide array of dazzling nail colors in top brands like Essie, Zoya, and even luxury brands like Chanel. The wall of nail polish is nicely arranged by color which is aesthetically appealing and makes it easy to find a color even with so much choices. Regular polish is available but gel and shellac are options as well. None of the nail polishes have formeldahyde (which is found in certain popular brands of polishes) and one thing I love about this place is there is a strong commitment to using only the highest quality, non-toxic, ingredients. The Zoya brand is vegan. The wax used is soy based. Aside from the two services mentioned, there are many other services. In my opinion, there is no reason to go anywhere else. Thulan Nail Retreat is simply the best.

The nail technicians took their time and actually cared about my pedicure. Never had a pedicure as good as this before. I cannot stress the importance of cleanliness and this place was excellent. My friend and I cannot wait to go back

Barbara Vandehei

I did the organic SNS nails. These are awesome for your nails and look beyond fabulous. They are one of only 3 salons in CT to do the SNS nails. I love how they help your nails grow and look natural!!!! Thank you for the great pedicure too. I drive 45 minutes just to go here and get the SNS nails done.

Barbara Valentine

Wonderful service! One of the best nail salon spas I've been to. Would recommend the executive (hot stone) pedicure at such an affordable price!

Adriana Scully

My go-to salon. They do great work and if you find something you don’t like, they fix it right away! I have gotten manicures and pedicures. Both have been great and relaxing.

Karinna Palacios

This place is a keeper! Relaxing, friendly, lovely ambiance. Awesome service, never felt rushed. Found the best salon in West Hartford for sure!

Leah Rossiter

I love the SNS nail option. They do not chip or peel. They give your nails a nice glossy finish, plus it is infused with vitamins. Can't go wrong!
