Did hard gel with a french tip design. The overall spa was tidy and organized, though a bit on the smaller side. My nails were done by Michael, he was nice and it was a pleasant experience. I do think that there could have been more time and care put into prepping the nail before going in with the builder gel. My french tips did start to chip a bit within a week. Overall, it was nearly identical to the inspo pic I had and the price was fair 7/10 read more

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!! read more

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! read more

I've gone to this location twice for a basic pedicure and manicure. I found the quality to be good and the service from the techs to be excellent but I'm deeply concerned by the homophobic behavior of the owner. He evidently doesn't want men in his establishment - he will give you a sour look and makes you wait when there are technicians available. I genuinely like the technicians and is priced well but will never set foot in this location again. read more

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.

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 (: read more

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! read more

I came here before and the customer service us great but the prices are so high for mediocre work. They charge $50 for a full set. I was upset because on top of that the lady did gel polish on acrylic nails for my daughter. We know that costs more and is pointless. Anyway, I got a pedicure. Paid the extra 15 for the mid package and I don't think there was any difference then a regular pedicure. Quite honestly I've had better pedicures for less. They are patient tho and I like that they solved the issue with the gel polish on the full set. My manicure is ok. Initially she was putting on the wrong color, but it was close enough to white that she just added white on top. read more

Came here for acrylic removal. I called ahead for an appointment. When I went, they didn't even soak my nails, just tried to clip them off and pry the acrylic part off my actual nails. They left my nails completely damaged and as you can see in the photo, the nail on my middle finger was just ripped off as well.

I got my first ombré dip yesterday and I love them! I don't have my nails done often but I have been here a couple times now and of the places I've gone to have my nails done, Nail Spa Excel has been the better experience. I have gone to other places that charge more and claim to offer nail art, etc but when you ask for what you saw on their website they say they "can't do that". Im guessing it's because they use stock photos from the internet instead of their own as a way to lure people in. While I haven't asked for fancy nail art when I've come to NSE, I've always loved what my nails look like afterwards. I will say the ombré isn't quite what I showed them from the IG photo that I wanted but they are still super cute and I can't stop looking at my hands! read more

They didn't say anything so I sat down. No one said anything to me for the next 10 minutes. I feel like I made the appointment for nothing. Also, I wouldn't be writing this review if someone had just addressed me and kept me in the loop with how long I was going to wait.

I asked for a dip french tip manicure. I don't know the name of the person who helped me but she skipped the cuticle softening/pushing and the base color that she used (which she insisted was sheer) is a slight sparkly really light pink. I probably should've opted for a single color gel as the photos of those came out better than what I got. Service was ok overall. The place is not the cleanest and I wasn't sure how clean the products were; I think the best way to tell would've been the sanitation of clean products and towels (based on prior experience) but neither was used on my visit. read more

Doesn't have the chaos of a lot of other nail salons and definitely feels a cut above the rest. This place sets a new bar of what a 5-star gel manicure means to me. Helena is masterful in her work and gave me the most beautiful bubblegum/glossy pink, your-nail-but-better look. She was thorough and warm yet efficient, and the end result was perfect. She told me she guarantees her work up to 2 weeks and I think that's a great testament to how amazing her quality is. This was my first time here and it definitely won't be my last.

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!

Services were fine, but be aware they attempted to add an undisclosed 4% fee when I paid by credit…read morecard. 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.
