I came here sunday for my first time to get my nails done for my birthday, and all i can say is that the staff here were very nice and friendly, very good at keeping a conversation while also doing an amazing job on your nails. I had judy, but the other staff sure kept me company. i think this is probably the cleanest i have ever seen my nails done, and don't even get me started with the pedicure, i'm very pleased and excited to say i finally found my nail to go to place! every 2 weeks location is perfect and the work is outstanding read more

Angel Nails & Spa - dip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Clean and friendly as well as professional. Excellent foot and leg massage which makes the pedicure experience totally relaxing.

So I gave this place 5 stars a few years ago....it has recently change ownership and I personally feel that it has gone down hill. I feel that there is only one (really excellent) worker from the switch over (and she is super excellent so if you get her...you totally luck out). If you don't...the others are ok..decent job. The reason for the 3 stars is the pedicure chair kept stopping and I had to hit the button multiple times. I even asked them to help me make it stay on longer...they said "I don't know". Half of the pedicure experience is the massage chair. You would think that they would move me to a new chair...as all others were empty...nope. As I said..for me...the quality of manicure/pedicure is good, but the pedi chairs need an update...which is why I only gave it 3 stars. read more

They got me a nail artist as soon as I walked in about an hour after they opened on a Saturday. They helped differentiate between the regular and gel paint. I haven't gotten my nails done in like 15 years. I would only prefer to get a manicure here. Parking is street as well as a little lot on the right. They were so friendly and affordable. I definitely recommend. read more

I love this nail salon, the employees are very friendly they make you feel at home. If you need a manicure or a pedicure this is the place for you. I have gone to many nail salons and never felt comfortable. They treat you as family. read more

The first time I went there I was coming out of going to a couple of other bad nail salons this one came highly recommended to me I don't know why. The first week that I had my nails on everything was fine and then without reason they just seem to start breaking because it seems like they were not thick enough with acrylic. I went back to them on Valentine's Day I was charged $50 to have a the Nails replaced & to have them filled in and painted and I tip well so I gave a tip of $10. Upon leaving I noticed that on one hand my ring finger nail was crooked and running into my middle finger. And I asked for the coffin shaped nails which I had never had before but I thought hey this might be a cool thing. The woman cut them with scissors creating a nitch down by my nail line at every one of those niches that she laughed I now have a broken nail by the time I went back in there it was a couple of days later and they just wanted to charge me more money to fix what they screwed up in the first place. RUN RUN RUN RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!! This is just another business that thinks that they can charge people in Melrose money because they think that we have it I don't have it and I didn't get the job that I wanted done and now a week after I have one fingernail that is attached on my left hand one is about to fall off because it is broken and on my right hand I have four fingernails I look like hell I don't have the money to replace this just yet this wasn't in my budget that I was going to have to go back a week later to get my nails fixed read more

See all

Mirana and Judy are excellent. These two go out of their way to give you the best experience! Detailed in their work, spotlessly clean and adhere to Covid guidelines. They check in and ask if you are hot/cold/ do you like your color choice ? etc etc.. I took my elderly mom her for our first nail treatment since quarantine and we couldn't have been happier. Quiet and relaxing ! Thank you ladies. read more

I have tried a few other places in Melrose, but stopped searching after finding Angel Nails. I will echo the other reviewers in that this place is CLEAN. Fantastic! This is the first place I've ever been to that has single-use plastic liners for the pedicure basins - so cool and so sterile, I love it! Every pedicure I've received here has lasted at least 2 weeks before starting to look a little tired. I've never tried a manicure with polish, but they did a great job shaping my nails and cleaning up the cuticle on my neglected fingernails. I even trust them so much that I went the day before my recent wedding with my sister to get our "wedding" nails done. I had thought about going in to Boston to get my nails done at a fancy spa, but Angel Nails does such a great job that I thought, "Why bother!" My sis also got her eyebrows waxed that day and was very happy with the results. If you're looking for a place in Melrose, you've found it! read more

Absolutely everything you need in a nail salon. I recently moved to the area and after a bad experience at another salon decided to give this one a try. They were professional, friendly and delivered a great manicure. The technician took her time and made sure to fulfill all of my requests. Small but perfect. read more

I came and got a full set and pedic I come here all the time they always do such an amazing job my boyfriend got his first pedicure and we both got a paraffin wax treatment and it was amazing I can't wait tO do it again read more

Angel Nails & Spa - Super cute shellac with an acrylic bow! LOVE THIS PLACE!! Always such great service! - Nail Salons Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

Angel nails has been my go-to for mani/pedis for years. The business came under new ownership a few years ago and the quality of service has improved immensely. Judy and the entire staff are amazing, super friendly, and do an excellent job. On the very rare occasion I have a polish chip or broken nail, they take care of it ASAP, no matter how busy they are. The space is small, but the prices can't be beat and the positive atmosphere makes up for the tight quarters. Highly recommend. read more

Worst manicure I've ever had! Just went in for a simple manicure and was told the OPI polish I picked out was $3 more but doesn't chip and lasts longer than normal polish. I was fine with that. The very next day some of my nails had chipped!! I did notice the technician "thinned out" the top coat with what smelled like polish remover! Asked for square nails. Did I get square? Nope. Even though I asked again. Had to point out all of the parts of the cuticles she missed. Because I'm not cheap, I tipped the tech more than 20%. Not even a thank you! I will never go back there! Oh and I would've gone back the very next day to show them but they were closed. Two days later and I need a new manicure! Think I'll do it myself! read more

I just came in for a walk in and I'm very impressed by Angel Nail Salon. First thing I noticed was that it's a little place in Melrose on Main Street. It's very accessible with convenient lot parking. I went in for a "classic" (regular) mani/pedi. This is the first time that I have seen anyone had lined the foot tub with plastic, for extra sanitary reasons. The place is very clean. And, the two ladies were very accommodating. I wish that I knew who had done my nails, but she was very intricate with her work. She never rushed through her work. All I cannot emphasize enough about how truly relaxed I was. All I can remember was that, while flipping through a magazine and getting my toes done, I could not control my fingers, attempting to turn the page. It was an amazing feeling. One thing to consider -- You save $1 by choosing the mani/pedi vs. al la carte. $38, instead of $39. I mean, they could do better. Overall, it was a great place to spend time on my day off. Thumbs up for these two gals. I'm definitely returning to this salon! read more

I love this place. I was sad when my favorite ladies at Yen and Crew left, and was not happy with the new employees there, so I went on a search for a new place. I tried the place across the street, and that was uncomfortable. Then, on a whim, I tried Angel, hearing that it was under new management. It was the two ladies that I loved so much from the old place! I always go here, now, and cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Went there a couple of weeks ago for a manicure. The place i was going to was out of the way so I decided to give this place a try and loved it. Came back that weekend for a pedicure and I was in heaven read more

I just got the most meticulous manicure and pedicure of my life from J.C. The place is clean and sanitary. I went mid-day on Saturday and there was no wait. read more

I was in the area with some time to kill and found this place on yelp. Boy was I glad I did. I got a shellac manicure and my nail tech. Was beyond fantastic. Her attention to detail was astounding. I can't attest for how long it lasts yet, but when I get to that point, I'll fill you all in. I highly recommend this place. read more

Came as a walk in on a pretty busy Sunday, got a gel/shellac manicure and only had to wait about 10 minutes. Everyone was friendly and the manicure was great! read more

After reading reviews thought of giving this place a try....!! THEY SUX!!!!! My nails are all different shapes, paper thin, & then while I was drying they legit started to turn everything off... so I got up said goodnight & no one responded.... NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!! read more

I just wanted to say what a wonderful experience I had getting my Mani-Pedicure today! Their staff is so professional, warm, and talented, plus welcoming (and so is the Owner, Cathy !) I will definitely be back again, and again. :) :) I love the Gel manicure, as it dries SO quickly. I will reccomend this salon highly to whoever will listen! I hope that they will be able to spread the word about my email, as I will, too! Thank you so Much! Nc read more

I was there for three times and each time it was a disaster with shellac. I was still coming back remembering all those great reviews, but today it was the last straw. The ladies are nice, but why don't they know, that shellac shouldn't touch the cuticle??!!! read more

Angel Nails & Spa - Awful shellac, right after it was done. - Nail Salons Near Me - Melrose, Massachusetts

I went this place on a Sunday because my normal nail salon was closed and I was in need of a gel mani/pedi on my only free day for weeks. I am very sorry I came in. The gel pedicure that was decent, but nothing to write home about. The gel manicure, however, was not enjoyable. The girl doing my nails was filing and scraping my existing gel off my nails with her own fingernails (gross). She did not speak or even try to engage in conversation with me. I tried starting a conversation with her, but to no avail. 4 days later, 4 of my nails were chipped and noticeably peeled. I called to let them know and asked about coming back in to get them fixed because gels are supposed to last weeks never mind only several days. The woman on the phone said to come in the following day for a polish change and that they would do it for no charge. I showed up on time the next day, and said I was there for my appt and showed them that my nails were chipped (by now 8 out of 10 nails were peeled/chipped). I gave them the benefit of the doubt because maybe I picked a color that was never used, or it was a fluke OPI failure. Either way, I was told to pick out another color and they would be with me shortly. Then two women were speaking in another language obviously talking about my nails and whether to charge me. Finally, the owner then said that they would charge for a polish change. I explained that within 7 days of receiving a gel manicure 8 out of 10 nails were visibly peeling and chipped and that I was not going to pay for them because I paid $70+ a hefty tip for something that was supposed to last a LOT longer than a few days. She continued to say that I had to pick another color then or pay for it. So I said fine, no issues with picking the same color, but her staff told me to pick out another color and that it was a polish change. I said just remove the gel and I'd be on my way, but I wasn't paying for a polish change - so please remove the crappy gel mani or redo what I originally paid for. Then the woman who originally told me to pick a color started in on the aggressive filing and scraping of what was left of my gel mani (using her own fingernails to scrape of gel instead of tools/drill). I left another hefty tip and couldn't get out of there fast enough. Never.going.back. 2 stars because the gel pedicure wasn't a total disaster. read more

So glad to have now figured out what nail place is going to be my "go to" place here in Melrose. I arrived ahead of my appointment and was taken right in. Had a great mani - and you can't beat their prices. It's a small place but very clean. I will be back for sure. read more

I highly recommend this nail salon. I always go on Sunday mornings and I always get in right away. Judy is so sweet and works meticulously on both my manicure and pedicure. Prices are average and reasonable. Great place! read more

I love this place and have been coming here for years. It is small and not fancy at all BUT the best pedicures I have received anywhere and lots of great colors. I typically call the day of and find a time when I can come in (typically avoiding weekends) and they are always accommodating. Highly recommend! read more

After trying several spots in Melrose, I've finally found the one! Best pedicure I've had all summer. They do a great job and pay lots of attention during the massage portion. I also like that they have liners in the foot-baths that still allow the jets to flow in, disposable nail files and pumice, and both times I've been the other tools came out of a sealed autoclave pouch. read more

They give the best no chip manicures! Last longer than two weeks and look great! Very clean and always welcoming. I moved to Chicago and every month that I come back to Melrose I go ad get my nails done! read more

I love Oan (I apologize for spelling but it is pronounced as "One")! I moved to the northshore about a yr and a half ago and had tried so many places for my acrylic nails and was so dissatisfied I took them off after having them for 10 yrs! Since this past summer I had been doing the shellac at random places which I just was not happy with. So, I decided to give this place a shot. I am very happy I ended up trying this place on a whim. My nails look perfect! Just like how I use to get them done before. I will definately be here every 2 weeks from now on for a refill! The place itself is cute but little small. Not too modern but cozy and comfy. The whole staff was extremely polite and friendly. Thank you! read more

I really enjoyed my pedicure here today. They line the bins with plastic for clealiness, which is great practice! The massage chairs were great! Tammy did a really nice job and I appreciated how quiet and calm the whole experience was! This will be my new place for sure! read more

I went to this nail salon for the first time because a friend recommended it. I arrived at 5:30pm and asked the owner if they had time and she stated that they had plenty of time. I waited about 5 minutes and Mirana greeted me; very lovely girl. She started on my pedicure, took her time and did a really great job. About 6:30pm the owner came to help to start removing my previous gel set; she then took it upon herself to cut and file my nails and directed Mirana to begin cleaning because they close at 7pm. She was rushing and did a horrible job with the filing leaving half my nails crooked. Mirana ended up taking over and fixed what she had screwed up. What's most upsetting is I wasn't the last person in the salon; a woman came after me and she wasn't rushed at all. I am only giving this a 3 star because Mirana was truly great; the owner I found to be unwelcoming, rude and unprofessional to be rushing me. This will not be my new salon. read more

Melrose has more than it's share of nail salons but this is the only one I will go to from now on. I've been to a few others and have always been disappointed. The first time I walked into Angel it was 15 minutes before closing but they were very accommodating and still took their time and did a thorough job. I've been several times since and have always had a pleasant experience. read more

Recently came here for a manicure and pedicure and seriously its probably the cleanest and most sterilized nail salon I have ever been to! They did a great job and I will definitely be back :) read more

I've been going to Angel Nails since July of this year. Everytime I go there I'm always greeted with a smile and asked how I'm doing. Kathy does a wonderful job on my nails. The place is clean and friendly. I'm happy that I switched, plus it's closer to home for me. Thank you Kathy for doing a great job. read more

I agree with all the other positive reviews! I've been going to this very clean, comfortable and accommodatingn nail salon for a few years now, typically every few months and never disappointed .. Great pedicures with Wendy, and shellac manicures. Lately I've switched to regular manicures to help my nails. No complaints! read more

This place is great. I think I've had just about every technician there, and I haven't once had a bad experience. Everyone does a flawless job! Good prices too. :) read more

Excellent service; typically call at the "last minute" and they are always able to accommodate even on the weekends! Good color selection. Go here several times/year and consistently receive good service for a mani & pedi. Plastic liners for pedicure are the main reason I started going here! read more

I went to Angel Nails for the first time about one month ago for a gel manicure because of the excellent reviews on Yelp! I loved the service, and my manicure lasted over 3 weeks! I went to another local place (closer to my house) and I was dissatisfied. I went back last night for another manicure, and they were once again excellent. The place is always immaculate. The owner remembered me, and was happy to see me. Amy did my nails, and she was funny and very nice. I walked in around 6:30, and they took me without hesitation (duh for not checking their hours in advance). I will definitely return there in 2 weeks when I am due for another manicure! read more

I went in for a pedi and eyebrows. Was told the eyebrow girl wasn't working today. Got a decent pedi but not the best Ive had in the area. The clientele as well as the staff were all a bit older, so a different atmosphere. More expensive than my regular pedi, which I think I'll just stick to. Nothing terrible but nothing great. read more

I have been going to Angel for several years now. They are so friendly and accommodating. I try and be respectful of their schedules but if I'm running late or didn't make an appointment they always get me in, and always make sure it's with my girl Katie if she's there. Katie takes her time and has my shape and length memorized. If Katie isn't available they usually have Wan see me and she is also excellent! Kathy seems to be the manager or owner and she always comes over to say hi (remembers me by name) and comments on my color, what I'm wearing or how long my nails have gotten. They are also one of the cleanest salons I have ever been to. They put plastic liners in their pedicure tubs, only use new files and will pull the tools out of the plastic before using them. If you are looking to grow out your nails Angel can help you. About 2 years ago I started with acrylic, I was completely new to it and since then I have seen how bad acrylics can be (thick, uneven,, yuck!) and didn't realize how lucky I was. Kathy and Wan do the acrylics. Once my nails grew out under the acrylic I switched to shellac and they are always beautiful! I also can't get enough of their pedicures. I have strayed from time to time and I always regret it, it's never as good as angel! read more
