Today I got my hair done by a marvelous hair stylist. She was so welcoming and friendly. She also had a sense of humor for my politely requested hair details. I loved that!!! She did an amazing completion of the style I wanted and only had a Bitmoji to show as an example. I abundantly LOVE my blonde purple tip well trimmed HAIR I only regret not asking her name to give her a shout out. Thanks to the CEO also Sorivel.... And while you are getting your services they give you complementary delicious coffee! read more

It was Bestie Day but my bestie couldn't get started without getting her nails done first. Ughhhhhhhhh. LoL!!! She wanted to try a new place so her mother recommended Exotic. She made an appointment for 10am and we were in go mode. We arrived at 9:40 and had to find parking as there is only street parking available. Once we parked we headed to the door and there were about 5 people in front of us. Once the doors opened promptly at 10:00am, we went in, she signed in and we had a seat. Within minutes of signing in, she was in the chair. She was placed with Yaritza who was very pleasant and super professional. They talked about what she wanted and then Yaritza went to work. I'll be honest, not only does Yaritza do amazing work, but she is super fast. I literally believe it felt like a matter of minutes and she was done. The quality was impeccable. The execution looked exactly how we wanted it to, and most of all, the nails didn't look cheap or feel super heavy or too thin. As my best friend was seeking a new nail tech, she found it in Yaritza. Going forward, Yaritza is that gurl for us because she does amazing work and delivers it with a smile. read more

Exotic Nails & Designs - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

THE WORST! nail and hair experience ever before a super important event! I went to get my nails done 3 days before the event and they started lifting the day of the event! Then I went to go get my hair done on the same day. That lady didn't ask what I wanted and just began adding a ridiculous amount of heat to the point I could smell my hair burning. I asked for heat protectant and she claimed it was already in the leave in. I asked for a slight trim and a blowout. She cut my hair dry and then proceeded to straighten it! I already have straight hair! I showed her a photo of what I wanted and she said that a blowout was called curling and proceed to further burn my hair with a 1/2 inch curling iron. Then charged me $50 for the mess. I am beyond positive this place isn't even licensed! Moral of the story: DON'T waste your money! read more

I tried this nail salon as I had been recommended here by quite a few ladies with lovely nails. On this day I wanted a manicure and gel nails but my nail tech didn't speak English well nor did she do toes. The language barrier wasn't a big issue as I also speak Spanish so we made it work. She talked to me about her day, how busy it gets and how sometimes clients think she has an attitude but she working on her English. The only problem I had was that instead of doing gel nails we did an acrylic overlay; for the first ever my skin to be irritated. We discussed if it continued I should just remove the overlay- a few days later ... after giving it my best try... I had to remove them. read more

I came here for the first time last week before my vacation. My sister swears by this place but i just never went because it always looked crowded when I drove by. We walked in with no appointment and then sprayed your hands with alcohol and then have you wash your hands and write your name and service down. There's not much organization on what to do or where to stand/sit while they figure out who is going to do your nails. Me and my sister were seated at the same time and I needed a full set & she wanted a fill and eyebrows done. The woman who did my nails didn't speak English or chose not to, and finished the full set before the woman finished my sisters fill. My nails looked pretty from afar but I did inquire on the amount of acrylic used as my nails looked really thin. She told me it would be fine. My thumb nail was crooked and my pinky nail had a rough top coat. I looked closer and there was a piece of hair embedded in the acrylic of my nail, but she did take it out. Two days after getting my nails done, I had 2 broken nails. The next day two more nails broke. I was already out of town by then and they are closed Sunday and Monday (didn't know this since I am new here) ... so I finally get back in town and go to the salon I show a woman (I believe the owner) my nails and she tells me to sit down and the woman will fix the 4 nails and she told me I didn't need a refill. I wait for the woman to get in to do my nails and I hear them conversing in Spanish about the amount of time it took me to come back and get my nails fixed. I would've came earlier had I been in town, hence why I got a fresh set to begin with. The woman at the front desk then advised that it's been too long and they would have to charge me for the repair of the nails, mind you they've already started fixing them. ATP idc about the money but my nails should've lasted longer than two days, and I said no problem. But I did show them a picture of my nails broken and the date so they knew I was not lying. After showing the picture they did advise they would honor the repair at no charge, but i opted for a complete fill. Reason being, I could see cracks in other thin nails. I requested more acrylic on the tips and so far so good. They offer coffee from what I've noticed the two times I've been there. Also they don't believe in personal space in here, everything is so close together it's almost uncomfortable. It's very loud in here so please keep that in mind. You definitely can get whatever design or shape you want here, but just make sure they add a little more acrylic if your nails typically break or you notice they are thin. read more

This place is trash! They try to act so professional, but really it's low class. No where to park. The pedicure baths are tight to the point I'm surprised someone has not fell stepping up or off. I was there early...the woman who did my pedi, as far as any dead skin removal, she was bomb. But the polish job I give it a 2 out of 5 stars. Next onto my nails. I wanted a refill and a very simple design and a specific color. The fake booty, rude fake Gucci shoe wearing, chick that did my nails so horrible. She did nothing she was told. This is where they pretend to have a language barrier. I had to get them redone by another young lady...but I told her they were thin. She then added more acrylic. The Mgr came over and told her to fix them all. So now a bulk of my day is spent here when I should have been in and out. One by one my nails broke. I was just going to go elsewhere to have another refill done, but why should I have to when I just paid for one? I called and got a male manager, who LIED and said they do everyone nails thin. Who TF gets thin acrylic placed on their nails and risk them breaking at the slitest mishap? HE REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY, BUT OFFERED FOR ME TO COME BACK!! OH HELL NO! I WOULD NEVER STEP FOOT IN THERE AGAIN. I NO LONGER TRUST YOU OR THEM WOMEN YOU HAVE WORKING IN THERE WHO CANT DO SIMPLE DESIGNS or REFILLS. Keep the money BIT#@ you all obliviously need it more than me. I have getting my nails done for decades and this is by far the WORST. Do not GO HERE. You have been warned!!!! read more

I got my nails done on Friday after work. I asked for an acrylic overlay with gel polish. My left thumb chipped that night. I'm currently writing this post on Wednesday, so it's been less than a full week, and I have another chipped nail and the polish is coming off now around the edges. I haven't been to the gym or anything strenuous that could ruin my nails this quickly. I might as well go back to wearing press on nails and changing them weekly. Getting a manicure here was a waste of $55. read more

Hard working women, don't get me wrong BUT They don't have a PRICE LIST POSTRD and tend to make up their own prices to make a profit this way theres TRANSPARENCY for tboth the customerand the worker! Shady business when you can't reveal prices for ALL TO SEE AND KNOW IN ADVANCE!!! read more

La vaca gorda con el pelo corto es una ladrona! Find out how much your service is going to be before you sit down and they get started. The lady who decides the prices is a crook! She's the chubby one with short hair who sits up front. Every time I go here I go for a basic refill. And every time she has a different price for me. I don't know if I smell like money or what and it doesn't matter that I can pay, there is a serious lack of respect here. This is theft and discrimination. I get the same service every time and it's a different price. Mind you I always go with a friend of mine and her price stays consistent. Why is mine going up and down all the time? The only reason why I kept going here is because the tech I go to is really good and she's nice. But I won't be going there anymore because if I go again and that fat cow tries it again... yeah. I hope the extra money she steals from me every time goes towards a gym membership or lipo! read more

I heard so many good things from this place and their instagram does show good and pretty nails. I went there and I only waited like 10 mins so I was happy. The lady was nice and decent, until she decided to cut most of my fingers and she knew she was filing my nails too hard because I came out with 6/10 fingers cut and now I'm in a lot of pain. If that wasn't enough when it came to the style I wanted, she told me In the beginning that she was going to be able to do it. She did my nails completely and I told her I didn't like it so she took them off and I had to choose some random color at that point. At the end they charged $25 dollars for the acrylic nails and I just wanted to get out of there because I knew I wasn't going back and I can't wait for these nails to get lose so I can take them off. read more

I had to write a review. I have been here maybe 3x a now and let me say there services are unmatched. I absolutely love my nails and my feet. They do great work . Both done by them. read more

I have been going to this salon on and off for 4 years. The wait is a bit long, but depending on the nail tech, you will get quality work. They are on trend, so most times if you come with a picture for reference, you will get what you ask for. Like I mentioned, it depends on the technician. I recently had a mishap with a bad technician, where she did not prep my nails and my nails began to lift and break off within 3 days. I spoke with the owner about the matter and she decided to rudely come up with excuses and random information that did not address the matter at hand. I wouldn't recommend because of the lack of accountability and customer service. read more

I went for the first time today, my lash tech recommended this place to me. When I tell you this place is amazing it's so good!!!! I've been looking for a place to do a good pedi! Elisa did such an amazing job on my feet & the owner was so welcoming! I definitely recommend this place! Great customer service & they don't disappoint read more

The wait was not long luckily but the tech struggled and by the end of the appointment I didn't even care. The nails are curved and thin at the tips but thick at the bottom. The nails are very much crooked which isn't no surprise if you are filing nails and angle. The quality on the website compared to the actual work is night and day. read more

It was my first time there, and at first the vibe was off (they had just opened) but they turned on the music and passed out coffee which was nice.

The entire set came out to $65 which was a good price for nails and feet. I'll be back. read more

Exotic Nails & Designs - Maria did a great job on my nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

At one point I loved this place because the nail designs are the best. But most of the nail techs are rude and in a hurry. Usually I'm there first thing in the morning but I guess going an hour before closing was a mistake. My nail tech was trying to get my refill done so fast she kept running the machine over my cuticles making them bleed. Then my 2 chrome nail are orange not pink and they're both different colors. I told her it was orange and I guess she'd rather tell me I'm wrong then to fix the color. My pedi really sent me over the edge because the water was cold and apparently the part that bubbles wasn't working. So my feet were just sitting in cold still water. She cut my cuticles so bad my toes were bleeding and then stabbed me under the nail with the metal tool that cleans them. I took my feet out wiped them off and left. My fingers and toes are burning. Seriously disappointed, won't ever return. Tired of nail shops charging so much to not care. Your last customer should be treated same as the first. It's not the first time I've felt uncomfortable because they can't communicate with the techs who don't speak any English or they're constantly picking up cell phones or just in a hurry. 2 stars because the women Cynthia at the front and the man who I believe is the owner are so polite, helpful and nice. Too bad most of the other ppl are rude and act annoyed when you ask for someth read more

While visiting Boston I had the urge to get my nails done. I've been a fan of swanky nails and bold designs/crystals, etc. I looked up Exotic Nails and see they offer the exact services I was looking for. I went in around 1030am and was expecting to wait at least an hour (based on previous reviews and the place is jam packed when you walk in). Luckily, I was seated immediately. I got a chrome sherbet with stones on 2 of my nails, My Tech Angie did a great job. Only critique is my nail shape didn't come out quite as I wanted but other than that I'm super happy. It's affordable, they work fast and practically gave me exactly what I wanted. I'll be back. read more

So I wanted to do the picture, I forgot to ask how much before the lady started. Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish so we didn't communicate as much. I said I wanted the design and shape except change the color to red and brown... ummmm you can say she tried I appreciate the effort but clearly it doesn't look like the picture. After I was done I went to the front desk to pay and the lady said 70$ I wanted to laugh but it's whatever from a distance it looks nice read more

I went in today and they did a horrible job. The lady rushed it. She didn't blend my nails correctly when I asked for ombré. I can still see the white acrylic under. Also she didn't glue them on enough. When I mentioned it she said it was my fault. By the time I was done the nails were popping up already. She solved this by putting glue under my nail after the fact. She also put one coat of gel and didn't even given me lotion at the end. My friend also got her nails done. She was promised a design and got something completely different. The nail tech wouldn't admit she couldn't do it, she just wanted the money. When asked to fix it they blamed her. Also if you don't speak Spanish they treat you very different and ignore you while laughing at your request. This nail salons isn't friendly at all. I would not recommend it to anyone who cares about the quality of their nails. read more

Always satisfied with the results, walked in at 10am and was taken care of in seconds. My nail tech Pame was attentive with my needs. I was given a cup of coffee so hooray for customer service. The nail salon technicians are Spanish speakers, i notice a bit of conflict due to language barrier. The prices are moderate for the results and time, you must block at least 2 hours of your schedule. For my 3rd time getting my nails done with 3 different nail techs in this establishment i must finally yelp this place. read more

I am big on customer service and this salon was not giving that. It's a disservice to the client when we cannot communicate with the nail tech and have to go through the owner about what design we want. They don't care about the client just pocketing the money. Screaming and yelling across the salon to talk to each other but none of the nail techs talk to their clients. The chairs clients have to sit in are small and uncomfortable. No where to hang your coats. It's tight and stuffy. Was not an enjoyable experience at all. read more

The wait time is absolutely ridiculous. If they were smart at all they would switch to an appointment only salon instead of the complete opposite. They don't take appointments at all, only walkins. The first time I went I got super lucky I went 10 minutes after they opened on a Saturday morning and got right in. But don't expect that, because that never happens. Jessica did my nails and she was awesome! I appreciate a nail tech that knows what looks good and you don't have to spell it out for them like most of the Asians at other nail salons. I didn't have to tell her much she just New what she was doing. I like that a lot. I thought they were awesome until this past time that I went. I showed up exactly at 10 AM on a Saturday and there was already 20 people in front of me! I ended up waiting for three hours before I got my nails done. This time I didn't get so lucky with my nail tech. She just wasn't as skilled as Jessica, and I was disappointed. Also for me, there was a language barrier. I don't speak Spanish, and she didn't speak much English. However, I think I was probably the only person in there that didn't speak Spanish so I don't blame them for that. read more
