After years of using gel x press ons. I decided to treat myself to get a short French acrylic set "professionally" done. I called in and asked the price for a short French set and was told $65.00. Since I recently had surgery I am not able to do as much and decided to have a self care experience.. worst mistake! The workers are fairly nice but the work is not up to par especially for charging $70.00. Yes that was the total for these nails. The edges of the nails were not smooth. The French finish was messy. The nails themselves stick up and are wide for my fingers. Just a complete mess and in my opinion a waste of $70.00 as I was told that was the total at check out. Would absolutely never return or recommend! read more

I typically have a great experience at this nail salon. They are fast, efficient, and my nails do not chip or break. I typically have to come back because it has been three or four weeks, and my nails are all grown out. Before my honeymoon, I went and got my nails done and less than 24 hours later my nail was chipped. I got builder gel for $70 read more

Ohhhh, this is *perfect* material for the kind of review you described yesterday: honest, quirky, a little funny, but not "I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER." The strongest part of your story is the escalating absurdity: **V-shaped toenails Dremel aggressive cuticle attack you simply evacuating the premises.** I'd lean into that. **Title: Nail Salon Review** I hadn't been to this salon in over a year after a pretty poor mani/pedi experience, but yesterday convenience got the better of me. Spoiler alert: I should have trusted my original instincts. I was greeted quickly, picked out my polish, sat down, and the tech immediately started clipping my toenails. And when I say clipping, I mean she proceeded to carve every single toenail into a sharp little inverted V. Each time she made another slash, she'd ask, "Does that hurt?" Yes. But apparently I was committed to the experience, so I kept telling myself, *I can do this.* Then came the Dremel. Now, I am a **regular polish girl**. There was absolutely no reason for power tools to enter this situation, so I politely asked her not to use it on my feet. A few minutes later, she moved on to my cuticles and started attacking them with an enthusiasm that felt wildly disproportionate to the task at hand. And that's when I decided: *You know what? I actually don't have to do this.* So I got up, pulled my feet out of the water, put my sandals back on, and walked right out. I have never actually abandoned a pedicure before, but there's a first time for everything. Needless to say, I will not be returning. Sometimes convenience is just not worth it--and apparently neither are toenails shaped like tiny Doritos. read more

Walked right in and got a gel manicure without a wait! And it was a good price and they were kind and professional

This place does not properly sanitize their equipment. This is 2026 and a nail salon! Why don't they have individually wrapped nail tools showing they have been autoclaved? With individual nail files and feet buffs? I came in for a pedi against my better judgement. I was in desperate need and this place is close to home so I risked it. Big mistake. The girl they set me up with must have been new and during the massage part of the pedi was incredibly rough. I had to ask her to be more gentle. I ended up with some slight bruising and soreness on both legs. But to add insult to injury, I know believe I am dealing with athletes foot. I have redness and itching on both feet and from what I have been reading and with the timeline of my pedi, it adds up. I have no reason to believe I could have acquired this anywhere else. I normally suck it up and pay more and go to MiniLux so I only have myself to blame but I have to warn anyone thinking of going here. Dealing with athletes foot is going to be a pain and not something I should have had to worry about when getting a pedi. Shame on you Morrissey Nails! read more

Christine (booth #24) is truly amazing! She's incredibly nice, creative, and talented. I always look forward to my appointments with her because she transforms my nails into unique works of art. Every time I leave the salon, I feel like a walking masterpiece. read more

there are so many great things to say!! let's start with how kind they staff is, professional and attentive. Vinny is my person...I can't say enough about his service ( aware, neat, listens, understands my needs, funny) I enjoy the amazing service i receive every single time. I have met great people there ( we became friends) my son and daughter go as well!! my mom when she visits I say all this to say GO THERE you won't be disappointed read more

Have been going here for awhile now, have had awesome service and then some not great services. Last two times the gel polish has peeled off within 3 days of the service. The time before that the polish was awesome except some fingers they put too much on and It pooled on one side. read more

Love this place! You can always walk in and be helped right away. Clean and professional.

the best nail salon in the area! Vinny, Maya, and Bryan are so talented and friendly. I would never go anywhere else!

Went in on Friday and had an issue. It happens! I assumed the manager/owner wouldn't care but he very much did! To say he fixed everything is an understatement! He fixed it and made a loyal customer for life! read more

I had a Dip Manicure and Pedicure and selected color D97 which is a sparkling Berry color. The pedicure was great and I love the color. However, the manicure color does NOT match! They put a dark brown powder in the empty container and lied that the manufacturer made the mistake. This bait and switch is both unethical as well as illegal! All they had to do is be honest and say they don't have the dip in the D97 color. To deceive clients and then lie about it is completely unacceptable. As a woman of color, I feel this was a RACIST motive behind this. I know they wouldn't pull a stunt like that with any of the non-Black women! And they charged me full price $80 for a mismatched mani-pedi! We need to boycott Morrissey Nail and show them their racist behavior is not ok! And I gave the technician a 20% tip because that's the owner's fault for deceiving the customers! read more

I got ring worm the last two years right after I visited this salon. I suspect that they don't disinfect anything! Stay away from this place. read more

I've been coming here for 6 years and it's hands down my favorite nail salon. I always go to Holly for my pedicures, Ethan for my manicures, and Jessica for my lashes and brows. I've tried almost everyone here, and once you find your person, you'll never want to go to anyone else! My work and school schedule can be all over the place, but they're always so flexible and manage to fit me in, which I really appreciate. The service is always top-notch, and I leave feeling pampered every single time. read more

This location is huge. I went in to get eyelash extensions. They have the best price I found in Boston. Only $90. The woman that does it has such delicate hands and she tells you to take a nap and throws the most comfy blanket over you. Again I can't stress how delicate she was. My lashes came out great. For somewhere so nice their bathroom could use a little work. It was the only part I found to be unpleasant. The technician was nice and very pleasant. They took me in right away, I didnt have to wait and the salon was full. They have so many technicians in there I cannot imagine anyone waiting long for anything. I do not know how well they do on the other services they perform but judging by the amount of customers they do well for themselves. read more

Worst customer service! A nail tech got mad because when I sat in her chair I asked for "Brian". Once I said that, she told me she can no longer do my nails because she had a client in 40 Mins!!! (Brian wasn't available) I was then sent to the front desk staff who bounced me around from chair to chair then told me no one can do it for another hour. It's absolutely ridiculous how the first nail tech got an attitude only because I asked if there was another nail tech available since I heard good things This was my first time here and I'll never be back. Very unprofessional. read more

this is my second time getting my nails done at this place of business. went there for a gel manicure and regular pedicure on 04/30/2025 and got over charged for the services. I noticed once I got home called them on 4/30 morning to explain the situation and the worker told me I did receive a gel pedicure and completely argumentive with me expressing my concerns. they do have good nails but the customer service is the reason why I will not be returning. And let me not mention one of the higher up's saying she couldn't wax my eyes brows because she was too busy, but was just sitting in a chair by the front desk looking around. read more

Vickie is amazing. Does great work very detail oriented in her work. Never had a bad experience.

One of the hardest tasks when moving to a new city is finding the perfect place for your nails. This is my go to nail salon in Boston, in fact it's the only salon I've been to since I fell in love on my first visit! They take walk ins, it's very clean, and there are many color options for regular polish, gel, and dip/sns/powder. I've been coming here once a month for a year now and I think I've made my way through all of the techs. I've loved all of them except 2... one did my pedi waaaaay too slow (1.5hrs!!) and the other used a brush with other powder residue on it that speckled my light color nails, but even these 2 did a great job on my nails. I've never left unsatisfied! My one watch out is that the powder color may turn out a little different than the sample, but this is due to the process of the companies creating the dip, not the salon. read more

I asked the woman who did my nails if they take Apple Pay. She said yes. I go to pay and they say sometimes the machine works, sometimes it doesn't. We'll, it didn't. The man behind the counter proceeded to raise his voice at me and tell me they can't take Apple Pay because the machine doesn't work. Wouldn't let me leave to go to the atm and caused a scene making me look like I was trying to fraud them. I had to stand there FOR 30 min (with my kid) and make a Venmo acct to play them. Save your time and go somewhere else. TERRIBLE SERVICE. And nails are okay at best. read more

As I've done many other dips and the color always looks different In the jar vs on the sample color. (Some) But if anyone works here please please inform the business they need to revamp their color samples! It's so old and damage and faded and whom ever did it def rushed it and didn't let them dry properly either. Also their service menu. I paid $50 for a 2 color dip.....This isn't my first time here. But I appreciate how they try and accommodate all their walk ins. read more

This place is very clean ! We got the deluxe pedicure and Peter really took his time and made sure our feet came or great ! I really appreciate the plastic in the pedicure tub, and all the disinfectants. I'm low-key a germaphobe, so I felt fully relaxed. This place in general just makes me feel ready to get a mini spa experience. Nice decor, nice chairs, nice staff.. Did I mention clean !?! This might be my new go-to salon ! * ample parking available * read more

There are some great nail techs that work here. Unfortunately, the service is soooo poor, it's not even worth it. If you book with a tech that you like, they will not honor your appt and they will send you to see any tech, if the service you booked is not high value enough. Save your time and aggravation. Book elsewhere. read more

Went here to get a nail repair and a refill. Ended up coming back the next week because more nails broke. I told Angie they were cracking during my previous appointment and that was ignored. She refused to fix the other cracking nails and did what she wanted instead of what I asked for. Find a nail shop that actually cares about you're nails, not just making money. read more

I'm guessing the low rating is because only the negative gets reported, but I wanted to say that I have been going here at least once a month for years and would highly recommend. The results are great no matter what technician I've used. The place is clean and huge, making wait times short. And the people are all very sweet. I do see customers being demanding and high maintenance, which is so hard to watch. Remember to be kind and keep things in perspective- you are getting your nails done, it's not life or death and certainly not worth being so nasty to another human being. These are hard working people who deserve respect. read more

I'm honestly disappointed by the work from this place my last couple of visits. Literally only one person can do the dip powder properly. The last two times I went, my nails weren't smooth, hated the shape. Best believe by the third day my nails were chipping already. It's dip for God's sake, not to mention it cost $40. Prior to these time my nails were lasting a whole month without any issues when Peter did them. He is on the longest vacation. I will stay home or find somewhere else to go before I go back and let one of these other people do my nails. They have no clue, they just want to shuffle people through the place. Only keeping two stars because I'm sure peter will return one day, till then. read more

Overall the experience was wonderful. I went in for a gel pedicure & full set. They were EXTREMELY packed when I walked in 2 hours before closing. I am assuming who was the manager, was doing everything in his power to get me in for my nails despite all the nail techs ready to leave at closing. He even asked if I could come back the next day for my nails & they can do my pedicure that day, but I told him I really came in for my nails, my pedicure could always wait. So he got me a nail tech. She did both my pedicure & full set. I did let her freestyle when it came to the index fingers & I even told her she didn't have to put the gems but she insisted. She stayed there working on me, taking her time, no rushing, A WHOLE HOUR after closing. I believe her name was Caroline, she sat in seat 8. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO PATIENT AND UNDERSTANDING! read more

I called this morning and got an appointment for 9:30. I arrived on time but there was a mix up with the schedule. I ended up waiting about 15 minutes and had Kelly as my tech. I had the powder dip nails done and she did a great job at it. I wanted a different color but they were out, Kelly helped me find one very similar that i liked. She shaped my very short nails and took her time. I will definitely go back. It was $35 before tip. It was very busy this Saturday morning so I am glad they took me in as soon as they could. read more

If I could rate negative infinity I would ....the place is disrespectful to people who speaks English ....they do speak their language and laughing disgustedly on front of you, Brain if this is his name was recommended by my friend and he did a such bad job for my nails a few month ago so this time was very vocal about his rights to speak whatever he wants with very hateful face so just to let people know be careful coming there to do your nails read more

Love my nail tech, but I hate the top coat being used for the dip manicure. It doesn't apply smoothly and ruins the entire look. I mentioned it to the male owner and he thought it was ok. Well, I don't think it is. Considering switching to gel manicures. Or leaving my tech and going to a new salon. Does anyone else have this issue with dip manicures at this salon? read more

Morrissey Nail and Spa - A couple hours after a Dip manicure. Color is natural pink. The top coat never sets smoothly. - Nail Salons Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

if quick and efficient is what you're looking for, this is the place. if beautiful meticulous thoughtful work is needed, run the opposite direction. Dozens of nail stations with technicians who look bored and are eating and watching videos on their phones. Large and impersonal but fast. Parking lot is small but it's better than looking for street parking. $15 manicure. Will I be back? Nope. Better places for the price. read more

I have been coming here for a few years and most of the technicians are great. Recently, I started going to Christine specifically and that's what finally prompted me to write a review. Christine is super talented and a very kind woman. I'm so happy to have gotten to know her and now I won't go to anyone else. She takes her time and gives me exactly what I want every time. I also have to give a shout out to Andy who I believe is the owner or manager, because he runs a tight ship and keeps everyone organized even when the salon is incredibly busy. read more

I've been getting my nails done here since they opened a few years ago. I've never had a bad experience. It's always clean and I've only had to wait if I show up at a high volume time like directly after work or on a weekend morning. I went in for the first time since the quarantine started in March. I was immediately impressed at the lengths they've gone to to keep the salon safe. I made an appointment as they are not allowing people to wait inside. Upon entering, I was asked to sanitize my hands, my temp was taken and I provided my name, address and phone number for contact tracing purposes. They've installed plexi glass at every mani/pedi station and have additional panels that have been attached to frames that they can move around. Everyone was masked and socially distanced. My appointment was with Katie who did a fantastic job on my pedi and gel mani. Great salon, extremely clean and quality service. read more
