I've been coming here for almost two years now, and every visit has been such a great experience. The entire team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and truly goes above and beyond. I see Michael every few weeks, and he does an amazing job every single time! He's consistent, thoughtful, and so skilled. I couldn't recommend this place more. They take such good care of you and make every appointment feel comfortable and enjoyable. read more

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

Michael is amazing. He takes his time and does quality work. By far the most skilled in acrylic. My whole family and I get our nails done there and never a complaint. Ask for Michael, Andrea is also awesome. A few different people have done my nails there if I walk in, but I really like Michael's work. 5 star definitely!!! read more

Good service but uneven manicure with crooked filing. Was going to do French tips but then decided not to after seeing the direction the manicure was going in. Prices were reasonable, it is just unfortunate that the manicure was not great read more

Everyone is friendly and happy. My nails always look amazing! Kevin is the best I've ever had!!

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

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 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! 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

Quick and affordable service! Looks good with minimal flaws, I got a gel manicure and it was only $38

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

Best gel nail experience I've had. I asked for a simple one color and they delivered. Long-lasting with no chipping or peeling for 3 weeks! I had an appointment and was taken care of right away. They had about 5-6 nail techs there that day. Saw a few walk-ins who were also taken care of with minimal wait time. Loved their attention to detail. My nail tech was able to perfectly color match based on an inspo picture for nude nails. Would definitely come back!! read more

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

Fast, affordable and clean. Been here twice, will be back. They are busy so be aware, make an apt if needed.

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. read more

I'm always nervous going into a new nail salon, but I had an amazing experience. There was a very friendly atmosphere and my nail tech, Hannah, went above and beyond.

I am beyond satisfied and I will 100% be back next month for a fill. read more

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

Nail Spa Excel - My first Ombré dip. - Nail Salons Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I trust this nail salon with my LIFE. I get the best gel manicure regardless of who does it here and it lasts so long.

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. It felt like they just wanted to get me out of the chair to free up for other customers. Would not recommend. read more
