Amazing experience. I didn't have an appointment but, they squeezed me in. They don't usually do that so call or text ahead. Helena was awesome and kept the conversation flowing. Results were great-definitely going back. read more

Incredible experience start to end and my new favorite gel manicure place probably on the planet! You do need to call or text the number on the Yelp business profile to get an appointment (no walk-ins!), but Helena is super speedy about replying and I was able to get an appointment the very next day (could have done same-day too). The place itself is small and cozy but in no way dingy or unclean--the space smells beautiful, looks beautiful (cute decor, bright lighting) and is very well organized. 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. read more

I texted the photo listed on the business profile on Yelp and was able to make an appointment easily. I didn't have to wait when I showed up for my appointment and she was very fast at painting my nails. I mean the precision was incredible. She helped me pick color cuz I was looking for a specific paint and I wanted something shiny on top to go with my Halloween costume and I'm really happy with the way my nails came out. Was $25 for regular polish, I was able to pay and tip before my service so wouldn't mess up my nails. Love this place. I will be back when I need my nails done again read more

I was able to get an appointment right away , same day/ hour, after calling Helena and requested a holiday design that she did an amazing job on. The service, quality, attention to detail and friendliness at this salon is unmatched! I would highly recommend going here for a gel manicure and for nail design. This is a small but cozy salon and deserves more business considering the talent and friendliness of the nail artists here. read more

I've been going to super nails for almost two years now. I've gotten them done with Ms. Helena every time. I've been to a lot of nail technicians in my days and I can honestly say that Ms. Helena is the best nail technicians that has done my nails. Now, i'm a heavy handed person, but i can go for a month or so of not getting a fill and only have minor damage going back. Plenty of times I've had my heart set on an old on an elaborate design and Me Helena makes it come true. Ms Helena is so hospitable and just an amazing person. 10/10 I recommend. read more

Helena is the best!! I went to her for my wedding nails and she did an amazing job. I've never had acrylic nails before and she took the time to make sure I loved them before my big day. Clean place with a calming atmosphere. read more

Stop your search. This is the nail place you need to go to. Helena is careful, organized and detail oriented. It shows in both the way she does nails but also in how she maintains her store. She did a great job with my mani pedi and even fixed my nail when it got bumped as it dried. I will be going back in a few weeks for my pre wedding mani pedi. read more

Went in for the first time today as a walk in, a Monday afternoon. Went in for a full set of acrylic nails and a pedicure. Helena was able to take me immediately. Had a great experience here, would highly recommend. Nails came out beautifully and though small in its size, everything was nice inside, clean, and just overall a very pleasant experience here. Thanks! read more

We were in town visiting family and I stopped in with my mom so that she could get a gel manicure. We saw that this salon had some of the best ratings in the area. She got a gel manicure on Thursday, and by Monday it was peeling and needed to be re-done. So she went back and showed them and had them re-done on Tuesday (five days after the first gel manicure), thinking that they might touch them up or re-do them for a reduced fee. Not only did they charge her full price again, but they didn't do a good job yet again (i.e., the nail polish didn't cover the entire nail on several nails, and when my mom politely mentioned it, the manicurist didn't seem concerned), and they also started peeling again within a couple of days. She paid $80 including the tips within the span of the week for two manicures that weren't done well - totally ridiculous. It was the same manicurist both times- an older lady. I don't like posting such a poor review (on behalf of my mom no less, but she's not on Yelp), but I don't understand how this salon got such good ratings. read more

Wonderful nail salon- very clean, excellent service and following all COVID guidelines. Booking an appointment is very easy (through text) and she is always willing to suggest times if you have a busy schedule! I have visited twice and will be back soon :) read more

After a week in the Carribbean sun (jealous? thought so.), i was in serious need of a pedicure to clean up my matte, chipped nails. With a few more days of vacay left, a manicure seemed in order as well. Gorgeous nails, my go-to spot when I'm stuck visiting a salon close to home on Cambridge Street, claimed they were too busy to squeeze me in for a walk-in, so I stormed out and found myself at the door of Super Nails. Good thing I packed cash, since they don't accept plastic or any other sort of paper. I was pleasantly surprised to find they had my favorite color available, and settled in for a no-wait manicure while I waited on the pedicure. Both services were pleasant and thorough enough-- speed was the name of the game here, but I didn't mind the efficiency. Complaints would be I'm not sure the UV lights on the foot driers still work and there is no discount for a combo mani-pedi (37 for two services that took under an hour is somewhat steep). read more

The woman here does such a great job with my nails. The acrylics are such high quality and last me a super long time.

I saw a few reviews on the google review page saying that this was the best nail salon in East Cambridge and I have to say I 100% agree. I recently moved to the area and have been driving to Somerville for mani/pedis because I was really unhappy with both the aesthetic and service at some of the more local nail salons. Not sure how I missed this on my first tour of the area but definitely happy that I discovered this place. Helena is so sweet and attentive. The salon is well kept and they do quality work. I never write reviews but I think this place deserves the fan service so definitely give it a try if you're in the area. read more

THIS WAS THE PLACE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. A cheap and awesome nail salon. Forget paying $40 for a pedicure, this place only charges $20 and they do a great job. Down where I'm from in RI, $30-35 for a mani-pedi combo seemed standard but up here, it's almost non-existent. Not only are these guys cheap but they're very quick. I had both done in like maybe 45 minutes. (including drying) Both have held up pretty well too. Definitely going back! read more

One of the best experiences I've had at a nail salon. Helena did a beautiful job. She is very welcoming and nice. I definitely recommend! read more

Super Nails - Amazing manicure at Super Nails salon! Helena was very nice and welcoming. Best place I've ever been! Thanks Helena! - Nail Salons Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

they were so nice, they helped me so quickly, and my nails are gorgeous :) thank you!

Christine did a wonderful job! Probably one of the best dip powder manicure I've ever got. I'm definitively coming back.

At first I was a little turned off when I saw how small it was but this place is amazing!! very comfortable and they did a fantastic job on my acrylic fill and french tip. it was only $25!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE read more

I love this place! I have been going here for years. The place is very clean and efficient. I made an appointment during my lunch hour and went from work. Christine had me in and out in less than an hour. I got a gel manicure and it was beautiful. Christine is very friendly and takes her time. I don't feel rushed like I do at other places. The ambience is spa-like and I appreciate the one-on-one attention. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I went here last week after reading the yelp reviews and I was very very disappointed. All I wanted was a nice pedicure to start off the summer..... I got there a little earlier than my appointment time and the first thing I noticed when I walked in the door was the smell of all the chemicals. They didn't even have an exhaust fan. Is this healthy? I'm not too sure.. My mom had also accompanied me, so, we got an appointment for her as well. The lady who did my pedicure was really nice, but, incompetent. I'm not sure if they even washed the tub from the lady before... eek!! Also, their pedicure chairs face the street, so, if you are wearing a skirt, ladies, all your underthings are quite visible to all the people walking down the street.. OK, getting back to the pedicure, she an OK job of scrubbing my feet and even asked me what length I wanted on my toe nails.. And then she started painting the toe nails.. And, guess what, she painted over my cuticles.. SERIOUSLY!!! And, now its peeling near those cuticles... The color is OK.. I was hoping for a little darker color, but, they didn't have it.. The only saving grace for the place was that the lady was very nice and friendly.. My mom's pedicure was also OK.. No great shakes.. And, they don't accept credit cards.. I guess my quest for that perfect pedicure place continues.. read more

Extremely professional and pleasant. Very clean and relaxing. I went the week they opened post COVID and they had hand sanitizer, did a temperature check, partitions at each station, and it was still a relaxing experience and of course a fantastic pedicure. read more

Love SuperNails! Summer is very professional and accomodating! Her attention to detail is superb! Just got a french manicure dip with Nancy and she did a lovely job. Thank you ladies for my pretty nails and your hospitality! -Kelli read more

I'm pretty sure 75% of East Cambridge's revenue comes from acrylic nails. With a salon on both sides of almost every block, I imagine it would be taxing to try and settle on one. A good rule of thumb is to base your judgment on the intricacy of their mirror-airbrushing scenes (Super Nails has tropical vistas!). A second rule around the way is Gorgeous Nails for eyebrows, Super Nails for everything else. The gals in my family have been going here since they opened! Mostly I like them because they are really nice to my Mom and my Nana. And they have every other place beat x 100 on the cleanliness tip. read more

Finally, a nail place in Cambridge I like! It's been hard to find. I live right nearby but have avoided this place because I didn't think a small shop on Cambridge Street in East Cambridge would actually be any good. I was wrong. I got a manicure and pedicure here two weeks ago. I JUST yesterday took off the polish, and I barely needed to do anything to my nails before repolishing myself. The manicure was excellent. The guy did a great job, the shape and polish looked nice, and it lasted and lasted and lasted. The pedicure was just okay; the woman didn't do quite as good a job, but still acceptable. I was the only one in the place when I went, and they even stayed late (10 min past closing) to let me dry; they didn't rush me out at all, which I really appreciated. I will happily come back for a manicure, and will come back for a pedicure as well because I haven't found anywhere better. Maybe the manicure guy does toes??? read more

Came in today when other salons nearby were booked up and got an absolutely FLAWLESS manicure (and I'm extremely picky about my manicures!). I was surprised by the lack of traffic since this seems like a huge gem within Cambridge. Beautiful and clean location with great color selections and amazing attention to detail. 10 out of 10. read more

I agree. I only went here once, but after another salon (which shall remain nameless since they do my eyebrows wonderfully!) botched my nails the day before my wedding, i ran into this salon for a redo. My mom and my mother-in-law had already been here earlier in the day so i knew they could fix my nails. With only 1 hour left until closing, they did a wonderful job and calmed a nervous bride with a french manicure for only $15! And my mom liked it so much that she went back the next time she was in town. I will definately go here again! read more

It's a small shop with 2 pedicure chairs (only one was in use the day I went) so it feels a little crowded when you walk in. I was very happy with my $20 pedi and the woman who did it made my feet look great! Super Nails doesn't get 5 stars because they didn't take me until 20 minutes after my 12:30pm appt. that I had booked the day before. read more

I was in town and looking for a place near my hotel to get my nails done. I did a little research on Yelp and found Super Nails. The people there were so nice and there were also some regulars who also made us feel very welcomed. If i travel back to Boston I will go there again!! read more

Best place in East Cambridge for nails. I have been there a couple of times for a pedicure and today I also tried the dip technique for nails enhancement and color, and I looooved them. She advised me about this new technique since I wanted something less agressive for my nails, and she took her time, and paid attention to details to make them look perfect. Highly recommended!!! read more

I've been going since they opened...love the staff. Always get exactly what I ask for and I can always get an appointment when I need it. Th read more

I had some extra time before an appointment and decided to get a pedicure. I had never been to Super Nails before and Helena happily set me up for a walk-in pedicure. It was super relaxing and she did a great job! Highly recommended! read more

I called up Super Nails and asked why the pedicure was $25 the last time I went, and the lady said they raised the price to $25 since Feb '09. So I wasn't getting ripped off afterall. Both times I've been there there's only been one lady and she's efficient and friendly and did a good job with my pedi. The place is clean too. I would go back again. read more

I really love this nail salon, I highly recommended to everyone!! They have excellents services, very clean, sanitize,friendly , skilled and professional nail care.They make my nails look very natural and last a very long time.I have been going there for many years,and no one ever knew ,I had fake nails on..eheheh and btw, they are voted #1 for four years in a row,by the readers choice awards, in the Community Newspaper Company. read more

I got a mani/pedi here and it was wonderful!! The place is small, but very sanitary/clean.They took their time with my cuticles and smoothing my feet. I can't speak to their acrylics, but they gave me a great french manicure. Lasted 2 weeks (probably a function of the multiple coats--most places I've gone to only apply 2, super nails applied 4). Pricing is pretty good, mani/pedi for ~$40. Location is not bad, about a 7-10 minute walk from Lechmere. read more

I am super happy that I listened to Amy's suggestion and tried out super nails. I am extremely satisfied with the service, flat screen TV showing movies, magazine selection, and the finish on my $20 pedicure. I was able to make an appointment on the same day as someone promptly answered the phone. One thing to note, though, is that they do not accept credit cards. read more
