I went to Neko with a friend for a ladies day out and had pedicures. We had a very nice experience. My friend's tech spoke English pretty well but my tech didn't, but my friend's tech was able to interpret my needs to my tech, and all went well. I am very happy with the quality of the services. The salon was not overly busy (later in the day on a Sunday), but clearly the "if you have time to lean, you have time to clean" philosophy was in play here- the salon was spotless. That's always nice to see. read more

I had my nails done here a second time. The nail technician, Lan, removed the dip manicure she did for me in early December. It lasted so long! My nail growth was what finally made me need to have it removed. This time I asked for an ombré dip manicure with a design. I also had a hot stone massage pedicure and regular polish. The entire experience was wonderful, and very relaxing. The salon is clean, bright, and pretty busy both times I have been. I recommend this salon, especially Lan! read more

Have gone there for a while now and went to get my nails done with my family. We all had appointments at the same time and I understand things happen but they were a hour behind on mine and didn't even get me in until after my family was done. Then, when I got them done, he rushed so badly that my nails are bumpy, and lifting already and its only been a few days. Also, I asked for french tips and be only did one base layer which looked transparent and horrible. So I told him to just paint over. These were my vacation nails and i am extremely disappointed. I wanted at-least a simple design or something but I was just very upset. I have reached out to this place through facebook due to being out of the country and not being able to call but have not heard anything. Im not sure if I would go back due to this inconsistency. read more

Love getting my nails done by Leo. He is very detail oriented and fast at what he does!

This weekI stopped in Neko Nails last minute hoping they had an opening for a manicure. I'm so happy I did, I've been looking for a new nail salon since Exotic 9 changed hands (the new staff at Exotic obnoxiously tries to upsell everything, not even relaxing anymore). One of my friends recommended Neko and I texted her as soon as I left. Awesome Awesome Awesome! Thanks to Anna, my nail tech, I can't stop looking at my beautiful nails! I'll be requesting her next time I go. read more

I'm not one to ever write a bad review but this pedicure I had today was the worst pedicure I have ever had! paid $50 for something I could've done myself. The lady asked if I wanted the callous remover with the tool an extra $5 well she literally used it for maybe 20 sec on each foot! $5'for what?! she barely cleaned up my cuticles dead skin I had to say something to her then she only picked a couple pieces off. I think she spent more time putting lotion on my legs than actually working on my feet. i walked out with polish on my toes but had to put lotion on my feet as they were super dry. It makes me wonder if this lady is even licensed. absolutely disappointed for what I paid for! read more

Had an appointment, after 25 minutes; still wasn't seen. Walked out. Completely unhelpful. I was very disappointed.

I love them! This is an old picture but they came out great. I asked for the natural look and it looks amazing! I came here specifically for lash extensions, and left satisfied. read more

Was looking for a new nail salon and was told to come here. I never have high hopes as most places just don't put much pride into their work in the NH area, and I am also extremely fussy with my nails. I've been here twice now and couldn't be happier. Got pink & white acrylics first visit, today a fill and Neko Pedicure. The pedicure lasted about an hour and the massage took up a good amount of that. My nails looked amazing when I got the full set, and continued to look amazing 2 weeks later to the point I was debating whether to go back yet for a fill. The shape is on point from every angle, no lifting at all. Definitely will be my new spot! read more

I got a pedicure and full set done. When I got there the gentleman was nice. He did my pedicure first. At first I thought the water wasn't too hot, and then I realized it definitely was. Ok no worries, I apologized and said it was my fault can he please make it cooler. He didn't turn the cooler water on and told me to put my feet into the water. I explained again it was too hot. I thought I spoke up enough, but I guess he didn't hear me. That was the first time he seemed annoyed. Also, he wore his AirPods the entire appointment.... The rest of the pedicure went well, I was thoroughly relaxed. Next came the fill. I picked a decent amount of colors, but I wrote them down and he took photos. He seemed a little annoyed, but all I asked for was different colors. I didn't even want a design. Then when it came to the time to explain how I wanted them, I told him in this order. The same order as the photo he took of my phone with all the numbers typed out in order from smallest to largest number. Ok. Then he got angry at me when he had to ask me twice about my other hand how I wanted it painted, which was exactly the same as the other. He also applied a TON of acrylic to my nails. Then he shaved underneath them to what looks like attempt to level out the bottom where the extension is. You can see how thick the acrylic is. Also, my nails have no natural shape. They're just..flat. I needed to leave because I was there for about 3 hours. But when I got into the car I took a good look at my nails and was just not impressed. It looks nice from the top but it's not comfortable..it's hours later and my nails still hurt. I won't be returning to this salon, I gave it 2 stars because the pedicure came out nicely and the top of the full set isn't too bad. But I am not pleased, and I now have to go to another place to hopefully get them fixed. read more

Awesome service! Gel nails lasted over 60 days fantastic atmosphere, a highly sterile clean environment, excellent massage chairs, big screen TV with movies on, excellent service on manicures, pedicures, and gel nails! I would highly recommend this spa to anyone who is looking to relax, be pampered, and enjoy excellent service! read more

My go-to nail salon!! I was never one to have my nails done often, but got acrylics back in July (at a different salon) and never went back. My former coworker at the time recommended Neko to me after I had initially got my set, and I have been going ever since. Not only are they extremely personable and friendly, but they know what I like and don't like because I am there every few weeks. I usually have Kyle, but sometimes have one of the other guys (Leo, Bi, and I believe Steve). Regardless, I always know I am going to leave happy!! If I pull out a design they don't know how to do, they will tell me if it's too tough, or if they think they can do it. I've brought friends here with me and gotten them hooked as well Most of these attached photos are actually a week or two into having them, and a few belong to my friend who comes with me! read more

Emma gave me a lovely pedicure & was great at getting ingrown nails out which is a must for me. I didn't catch the name of the women who did my manicure but it came out really nice! read more

Update: new owners and it's terrible.... They used dirty tools and didnt ask me to wash my hands before service. He push my cuticle so far back in didn't even paint all of my nail so when I left it looked like it had been at least a week since I got them done. There was no hand massage whatsoever he literally painted my nails and said I was all set didn't even ask me if I was satisfied. read more

Long has skills like no other in the area. He absolutely "nailed it". Obsessed with how these came out. Go see them Neko nails. It's so worth it read more

Great find! I had two different nail techs, one for my pedicure and one for my manicure. They were both excellent, and took care and time to make me feel pampered. My only suggestion for them would be to offer clients a drink during their service. Even water would be good, but wine would be stellar! read more

First time coming to Neko nails and it was great! Right now it is by appointment only and face masks need to be worn at all times. Staff was very friendly and place is clean! My nails came out great! Got a regular mani and pedi and very happy with how it came out! Will definitely come back here when I am in the area again. read more

I was very disappointed in the cost of my nails. I called ahead of time and asked for the price for acrylic tips. i was told these would be $60.00. I chose gold acrylic for my nail color. I made sure that I was still sticking to the quoted price of $60.00 as he was filing the nails. He assured me that these would be $60.00. Went to pay and, guess what? I was told "that will be $80.00". He tried to tell me that the extra length increased the price! The tips were the same length as what I had on. I would not recommend this nail salon and will not be returning. read more

Awful, awful. Awful!!! I used to be a long standing customer from Beautiful Nails in Manchester and then moved to Neko to follow my nail tech. Long because he always did an amazing job. Unfortunately, due to a complete misunderstanding a couple of weeks ago I have been refused services! I have never in my life felt so humiliated and disrespected! I had scheduled my usual fill Appt and when Long started my nails I realized after 3 or 4 nails had been filled he was using a clear acrylic instead of the color that was already on my nails. I asked him if he was using a different technique and that's when everything went downhill.... He basically yelled at me and scolded me saying he asked me if I wanted color and became very upset when I said I didn't hear him ask me and that I thought he understood what I wanted when I said I wanted a fill,. I asked him to stop yelling at me and he just became more angry. To top it off a woman sitting next to me decided to solicit her opinion saying I shouldn't have been on my phone and that's why I didn't hear him! Needless to say I was mortified and started to cry.. I was unable to leave since Long was halfway through and I had to sit there and endure this awful treatment by both Long and this random customer. I was so upset, I couldn't even stay for my pedicure, so I paid and tipped Long (still crying) and was told 2 weeks later that he refused to do my nails because "I gave him a hard time!" It is criminal that an establishment would treat their customers this way and never even apologize! It is extremely unfortunate that someone with such talent has ruined his reputation along with the reputation of the salon by treating people with complete unprofessionalisim and disrespect! If you value customer service and a great experience then you should not go to this salon! Shame on you and everyone that works there! read more

Moved to the area recently and was very pleased to visit Neko Nails & Spa for a much-needed pedicure. I love the feel of the salon. Extremely clean. Very quiet with soft music. The technician who did my pedicure was very thorough. I will be back. read more

This was my 1st time at this salon. Highly recommend by a friend and her daughter. I had an appointment. Was immediately greeted by a staff person. The salon was clean and very inviting. Will definitely go again! read more

This salon is convenient, clean, and a nice place to relax and get some pampering. I've been here twice since it opened and I've had great experiences both times. I suggest signing-up for the VIP Membership card, it costs $5 but they give you a $5 gift certificate for your next visit. Every time you visit you get either 3% or 5% credit depending on how you pay (card is 3% and cash is 5%). Definitely visit this place!!! read more

Neko Nails & Spa - Gel manicure by Jin. OPI gel "bubble bath" - Nail Salons Near Me - Derry, New Hampshire

A+ I am new to the Derry area and have been in the market for a new nail salon. My last nail salon always did a fabulous job - it's a hard act to follow. But -- wow -- Neko Nails & Spa really delivered. I got the Spa Milk Pedicure and a dip powder manicure. The pedicure was one of the best I've ever gotten. It's always a pleasure to be with folks who take what they do seriously and take pride in their work. I definitely got that feeling while I was there. I will definitely be a regular from now on. read more

I am a very happy customer at this salon. I have been going since they opened and will continue to do so. Staff is very friendly. Services are amazing. Extras are included, which sets them aside from all other salons. Very clean and no smell like other salons have. Please give them a try. You won't be dissapointed. Kris G. read more

First time visiting Niko today to use gift card that I got for Christmas. I went with sister and Aunt who gave us gift cards. The three of us got manis. Both my sister and I were nipped while having cuticles cut and bled. Not a great experience... To be totally fair, the manicure came out good, but for each of us to be nipped enough to cause bleeding by different employees was not good. What was even more disappointing was they would not accept our gift cards as payment. My Aunt just got them for us for Christmas of 2020, so the gift cards were not even 10 months old. They claimed "new management" and refused to honor the gift card. Our visit was disappointing and very frustrating. read more

I've found my new nail salon! I have been to Neko twice for pedicures. This salon is extremely clean and very relaxing. The nail tech was very thorough and both pedicures that I got lasted a long time. The spa pedicures are an hour long and are very enjoyable. read more

I had no intention of further reviewing this business, until I was called a liar by the business. An apology was all I was after when I initially reviewed the business. Upon further inspection, it does seem they enjoy arguing with poor reviews. Not an appropriate business practice. Here was the review I posted on fb: This the worst mani/pedi I've ever had. Painful - squeezed my foot, and when I yelped, was told it didn't hurt that bad. Nails crooked upon completion. Previous mani was ground off, and again, stated I was in pain. Tech ignored me, texted on his phone, and kept going. Ruined my nails to a paper thin texture. Ends of nails were not polished. See below for pics Worst part was two small kiddos [who seemingly were there because their parents worked there] SPIT A BALLOON IN MY FACE mid mani. Literally the child was blowing up a balloon in my face, the balloon left his lips, and chunks of SPIT and food were on my face as my nails were being done. Couldn't wipe off as my nails were wet. No thank you, never again. This mani was a gift (mid March), and I'm grateful the gift giver recently shared with me she also had a poor experience, so I could finally post this review. Here was the salon's response: Neko nails & spa- Im so sorry i have kids, I believe my kids not like you say, they naver rude for customers, they go daycare Monday to Friday after 5 pm nobody watch them so have come to the salon , i have no family in America thats why , and gel manicure we have 2 weeks warranty any problem we free fix for you , we are not the machines every single time make 1000% perfect, also our worker maybe important thats why text or messages , but thank you your reviews And thank you for never come back , because my kids will here , read more

Thank u nice nail. I wish they would wipe down the nail tables, they were not clean, I. The middle of winter and flu season this should be routine in between each client. read more

Dirty and terrible service. I got a regular mani and pedi. The polish was applied so thick it couldn't dry enough and smudge. It was also old and smelled I washed my hands multiple times but the old polish smell wouldn't go so I had to remove the polish the same night I got it done. read more

I love this place! The owner Mina is such a kind lady and she really does care about the customers. Whenever I'm in a bind and need a lash fill asap, she always makes time to fit me in. She even opened early for me one Saturday morning when I had an event. My lashes always look full and amazing, and I'm constantly getting compliments on them! I'll never go anywhere else! read more

Overall good experience. Clean facility. Good price. Only two drawbacks were that the foot spa did not bubble while getting pedicure and the gel polish on my hands definitely do not match the color on my toes despite asking for them to match. read more

I love coming to this place! Everyone is so friendly and attentive. They are a husband and wife team who work hard, long hours making sure you are happy with the end result. They recently renovated the salon and now it has an open modern look to it. Every tech here takes their time to make you feel pampered. I cant say enough good things about this salon! They offer spa style mani pedis, eyelash extensions, and finish off every service with a fabulous shoulder massage! read more

I regret having to write a bad review, but it has to be said. I went there for a full set of nails and a pedicure. The service was rushed. The full set was the worst. They are so thick and were never filed under the nails, there is all gel under the nails. Plus, I can't mention all the imperfections of which some I pointed out in the early stages. I did not have a good experience and should have complained while I was there. Needless to say after spending $120.00, I will never be back. My friend who also went with me, had 3 nails pop off the first week, went back to have them fixed and today 2 more fell off. There are so many other places to go in Derry, this is NOT one of them. read more

Really nice, clean place. Good prices and friendly. Really relaxing pedi and and amazing mani. Will go back.

I went in for a walk in pedicure with my friend on a Sunday and we had no wait. Very clean place which I love. They use liners in their pedi tubs and open the new tools right in front of you. My water was super hot to soak my feet and the guy who did my pedicure was quiet (which I personally enjoy) and did a great job. Awesome foot and leg massage, hot stones, heel paraffin, and even a shoulder massage while my toes dried. I didn't feel that they rushed at all and the nails came out awesome. The pedi was only $32 which I thought was an awesome deal. I will definitely go back again some time. read more

This place is #1 in such a convenient location! #2 by far one of my favorite place to get my nails done because they - know what their doing, are very polite and patient (something you don't see too often in nail salons anymore), quiet yet talkative if you engage (love this, don't talk to me if I'm not talking to you - I just want to be pampered. And on the other hand, if I do talk to you, please talk back otherwise things get awkward.) so again A+ in that category. And I agree with Jessica L. other comment with everything being very clean - it's obvious their not pulling filers or any tool out of abused and already used areas. So... I'm very excited to see them here and this is now my go-to nail and eyebrow threading spot! Oh - and they have a children's chair!!! read more

Cleanest salon I've ever been to have my nails done. Mina is the best. A perfectionist to say the least. I love my nails so much. I drive from Manchester to get them done. Also, lashes are perfect and last. Love this place! read more

I went to get dip nails and asked for ombre which they said they could do. I don't think she ever did them before by the way they came out, which I rather her just say because I would of picked something else. For one, with covid they still had me dip into the whole container which was not very sanitary. Also, the nail drill was never used so my nails were very uneven. I'm not one to write reviews but honestly if you just go down the street to exotic 9 nails, they are way better. read more

Wow. Just got a gel polish for the first time here. The spa is clean and professional. Emily did a beautiful job and her attention to detail was exemplary. The manicure included hand wax and a neck and shoulder massage. I was pleasantly surprised and the incredible value for the service. I will definately be back again. read more
