I went to this place once several months ago and got a terrible manicure. I asked for round and he did the nails square which easily snags my weak nails. He cut one nail into the cuticle so it hurt as it grew back and the paint chipped in two days (where I usually go it takes at least 5 unless I do some crazy house cleaning). I was very disappointed because it was also more expensive than the place I go in downtown Boston which does a perfect job every time. But the place is so close to my office that I decided to give them another chance last week for a gel manicure before New Years. The manicure itself was slightly better. The nails were rounded and not cut too short. BUt the gel began chipping within 4 days from the base of my nail bed. Other gel manicures I have had have not had this problem. I am not sure what is missing in their technique here, but its not worth the time and money to go to this place despite its proximity to my office. I will continue to go into Boston.

Fabulous. I was shocked to see the negative review below and have a hard time believing it. Ive been going here with my daughter since it opened and the staff has always been professional. I dont like to have a lot of cuticle work done either and they are always fine with that when I mention it. The waxing is so good there that it can be very difficult to walk in without a very long wait. (I cant imagine anyone walking out of there bleeding and with peeling skin and burns. I feel pretty confident that was a bogus post from a disgruntled competitor.) Contrary to what the previous writer mentioned, they do speak English, are pleasant and do a great job. Its why the place is packed every time we go!

Wonderful service and nice environment. All the workers were giggling and having a good time. Had a spa pedicure and gel manicure and both were done with care and attention despite problematic cuticles and very short nails. My friend made the appts on a busy Saturday afternoon, which was helpful as I had tried to walk-in once before and it was crowded and I thought it smelled of chemicals that day. My friend also had her eyebrows done and I look forward to having eyelash extensions in the future after talking to someone who had them there regularly. Have been trying nail places between Harvard and Alewife for more than a year since my last go-to closed; I finally found one.

I only go to Beauty Spa now. I go there for eyebrows and mani/pedis. Trinity does a fantastic job with eyebrows...I have paid double the price in the Financial District of Boston, only to have those "professionals" over pluck, misshape or make my eyebrows look just like theirs. The mani/pedis are great. Everyone is always friendly and I always leave satisfied. Very neat and clean, and easy to get to via Red line (Porter Square), I highly recommend Beauty Spa.

Best mani/pedis that Ive found in Cambridge/Somerville. Walking distance from the Porter Square T/commuter rail. Reasonable prices, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. Ive had both regular polish & gel. I recommend calling for an appointment because it is a popular place! They have usually been able to take me as a walk-in, but not always. Also - they often stop taking customers awhile before closing, so arrive at least an hour before closing.

Ive been going there for nearly three years now and though it is a 40minute+ drive for me, I am happy to make the trip. The staff is courteous, friendly and accomodating. The facilities are beautiful and very well-kept and clean. I go for waxing (and occassionally a mani/pedi) and am always impressed by how professional, meticulous and wonderful the service is.

Manicure stations are set up so customers breathe in all the fumes. They grind down your nails with rotary power tools and once just started peeling gel off my nails despite my exclaiming "Ouch" many times. Its too bad Ive had these two experiences here because it looks so nice and their color choices are great. Its clean and spacious salon.

This is my go to place for gel manicures. Ive also gotten a few pedicures as well. They do the best job out of anywhere Ive been for gel manis. Its a clean, comfortable place, reasonably priced, and has a friendly staff.

ive been going here for some time, it is everything you want for a $35 mani/pedi. the place is clean, the staff is friendly, and if you call a half hour ahead you never have to wait.
