    Stellar service and care! They were able to squeeze me in without an appointment and were so quick! Highly recommend for your cosmetic needs!

    Acrylic + gel mani

    Always fast, fabulous, and kind!! Truly the best nail salon around. I always get an acrylic fill with a gel mani and they are so professional.

    I have been coming to Nail Spa Excel for years. Most of the nail techs here have done my nails and all of them do an amazing job. Today Hannah did my nails (dip nails with funny bunny and 1 coat on the top using bubble bath) they turned out PERFECT! Can't recommend this place enough. I included 2 pictures of my nails, one in direct sunlight and one not. So good!!

    My friend and I have been coming to Nail Spa Excel for dip manicures for the last year. It's a great salon. All the nail techs are talented and kind. (I always appreciate joking around with Kevin.) You can tell that the same clients keep coming back, and they're always greeted with a warm welcome. Not to mention Nail Spa Excel has some of the best prices in Somerville. The quality for the price cannot be beat anywhere in the Boston area, and I've tried a lot of salons. Two (gorgeously polished) thumbs up!

    This is the best nail salon in Somerville! Everyone is so wonderful and inclusive and they do fabulous work.

    Dip nail set

    Red nails to match my lobster! Thank you Hannah for a lovely experience :) all staff was friendly and the store was nice and clean. Will be back!!!

    I walked in, and did not make an appointment and was seen right away. Ultimately not the best mani/pedi that I've had, but also not the worst - especially for a walk in. I would expect a little more precision and time for the price of the services ($60). I felt rushed and there are mistakes and imperfections to my nails. Cleanliness could also be improved. Staff were friendly!

    After 3 weeks of rock climbing, weight lifting, working, etc, my nails didn't budge! They didn't lift at all. Returned to get a new set, & still a 5/5! Lanh was my technician this time, and she was so kind and attentive. She's great company & a great conversationalist. I love how comfortable everyone makes me feel! In terms of the nails, I'm so happy with how she made sure each nail was even. I also appreciate how the dip coats don't look bulky. It seems like a seamless layer. I was going for a more natural shape/length & I was so pleased! It's a bit hard to accomplish a round shape on a shorter length, but she managed to *excel* (haha) at it! Would highly recommend. Definitely going to try a design next time (:

    I came here last minute before a trip. Usually I'm great at managing my time, but this weird phenomenon happens where I end up having to do 3 million things the day before leaving on a trip. The last time, I had to get my nails done. So, I looked through Yelp and after comparing a bunch of places, decided to try Nail Spa Excel. I called and asked for dip extensions and they were able to squeeze me in just 30 minutes later. They have tons of color options for gel, regular, and dip. I opted for ombré and loved how my nails came out. The prices are fair and the technicians are very nice!

    Nail art

    I've been coming here for 3 years now and love it. My nail tech is Lindsey and she's done such amazing nail art for me

    Nails

    Great place! They did a fantastic job on my nails for graduation. It was also very quick and affordable, would go again.

    Called ahead and was seen right away by Kevin, who was able to suggest a color for my dip manicure based on a picture I showed him. I have stubby hands and fragile nails, but Kevin absolutely killed it! Super happy with the result. Will definitely be back in the future.

    That take SUCH great care of my natural nails

    Nancy and Kevin!!!! Love them to bits. Great environment, well established business. New to the area and they have always been so welcoming. Have never had a problem getting an appt at a time I need it. They don't up charge, and have blessed my nails endlessly since moving here this past fall

    He sings while he works. Great voice so I don't mind.

    Today, we found this nail salon on Yelp and it was close to our hotel so we could walk over. The…read morereviews were not great so I was a little apprehensive but it was the most convenient for us while on a time schedule. The salon is very clean and there are lots of choices for services. We chose the spa pedicure and manicure. My manicure was perfect ... I really like how she was efficient and paid attention to detail. The polish is just right. When I booked the appointment, I thought I was clear to get a mani/pedi at the same time, but they do the pedi first then the mani ... which can take a bit longer. I asked to please have both together and they did make that happen after a little push back. I'm grateful they made it happen. Next time, I will be very clear to request both services together.

    Definitely not the best nail salon I've been to. Pedicure was fine, but the manicure not so much…read more The tech filed my nails very unevenly and I had to keep asking her to hit corners here and there. The manicure also took way longer than mine usually do. I will say the gel manicure lasted exactly two weeks before chipping, which is a pretty good run. Everyone who worked there was friendly too.

Fast forward to this weekend, I got my nails done dip extensions and it was a shame they even aloud me to leave the salon looking like they did. I called to let them know my nails were different sizes in width and also in length. Also super thick and bulky. Mia tells me to come in the following day as I told her I needed them to be REDONE! I head in 10 am an employee tells me she can only do one hand over to make it look the same ! Ugh excuse me ? One hand ? Ma'am both hands look hideous! Both hands needed to be done over! That's horrible customer service! Do better . Needless to say, never cheat on your nail tech! To the response I received. Yes, I did pick Cherry because she did my nails prior to this set. The first set was good, I was pleased. However why would I request my nails to look as such? I didn't request my nails to look bulky, uneven and different t widths. Yes, you offered to do ONE HAND, but both hands were horrible and both hands needed to be redone. Giving me a refund when all I wanted was a new set due to the way they looked. It was an inconvenience and a waste of my time. Fast forward to my pedicure today. The women did a great job and as I'm going to check out you say "my manager wasn't happy about the review" well I'm sorry it's the truth and I wasn't happy with the inconvenience of my time. Very unprofessional trying to go back and forth with me in front of guest.

I have gone to 6-7 different waxers before her in LA and she is by far the best. Never did I know that bikini waxes could be so painless.

It is clear that she is a professional and expert and has been doing this a really long time! Not only is she 100/10 skill wise but she is also the friendliest and kindest person ever and one of the nicest people I have ever met in Cambridge!! Thank you Paula!

This fee was not posted anywhere in the salon, not listed on their website, and not mentioned before the service. It appeared only on the payment terminal at checkout. I questioned it immediately and said it wasn't disclosed. After I left, they re‑ran the transaction without the fee. I appreciate that correction, but the fact that the fee was added in the first place -- and only removed after I objected -- was concerning. Massachusetts does not allow credit‑card surcharges, regardless of what they're called. Posting this so other customers are aware before booking.
