The Nail Files | Middletown RI Nail Salon

May 2025

If you’re in Newport and looking for a fantastic nail salon, The Nail Files is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel completely at ease with their warm smiles and friendly vibe.

My nail tech (I wish I remembered her name!) was the absolute sweetest. She’s a retired teacher, and it shows in the most wonderful way – incredibly thoughtful, careful, and so attentive to detail. She took her time, made sure everything was perfect, and chatted with me like an old friend. You could tell she genuinely cares about her clients, and that kind of service is rare.

If I’m ever in town again, I’ll definitely be back!

While I enjoy this nail salon, my experience greatly depends on the nail tech. Tiffany or Anajae typically do great work, my gel manicures will usually last around 2 weeks (or sometimes more) and are beautiful. I've gotten a couple gel manis with Renee and they all have started chipping or come off completely after 3-4 days. Wish there was more consistency, especially since prices have increased since they re-opened last year.

The shop has been renovated beautifully with new massage chairs, etc. Tiffany was so nice and explained every step she was doing from the citrus water to the scrub and mask. A very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend'
