Gaelic Day Spa & Salon

My favorite place! Very meticulous manicures and everybody who works there is a joy to be around. There is usually a wait if you go on a weekend morning but I am more than happy to wait knowing that I will get a perfect gel that lasts 3 weeks. Love Lin!

This is by far my favorite nail salon in the Greater Boston area. I’ve lived in the area since 2011 and I wish I found them sooner! They are so friendly, I’ve never had a bad pedicure or manicure here. The only complaint is that sometimes there is a long wait, because they are always so busy– which is a good sign in my opinion.

I decided to go here due to convenience of the location and I loved it here! I’m definitely going to make this my regular place because of price and the wonderful staff. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure by Jolie, and she was kind and thorough! I noticed that they had eyelash extensions, something that I’ve wanted for the longest time now, so after my nails I booked an appointment for a few days later for a set of lashes. Lynn was great and made sure that I loved the lashes. I highly suggest this place for anyone in Southie because the price is unbeatable and the service unmatched.

I’ve only been here for manicures but have loved how my nails looked and how long my manicure lasted each time! The ambiance isn’t much but there are lots of colors to choose from and if you are willing to wait a short time (they are often full during the weekends) it is worth it. They are consistent in the manicure they give and gentle.

the best nail place in South Boston! Super friendly, always remember your name and reasonably priced! Cannot go anywhere else after this five star experience

This is a review only on lash extensions;
I was super busy last week and did not have time to go to Quincy to my usual place and desperately needed a lash fill. My friend recommended Gaelic so I snuck in an appt during the day. First, they were not that prompt, they ran 15 – 20 mins late for my appointment. Second, they leave a film on your bottom lashes instead of taping… And begin to add lashes without removing any. (Typically my usual place will remove any which have grown out weird or are loose.) I cannot recall the name of the girl who did the lashes but they did not even last a week. Each lash /​cluster that she added fell out within 5 – 7 days which is not typical for me. At $ 40 for a fill, I pay this in Quincy and get much better results!

Amazing Brazilian Bikini wax and cheap too!

Best mani pedi in Southie. Nancy is a perfectionist, my nails looks amazing. A hot stone massage is included in the pedicure. For $ 35, definitely a good deal and the quality is great. They have a good selection of Essie and OPI colors too.

This is one of the cheapest places around and honestly the best. I live in the area and get my nails done religiously every two weeks. I love my gel manicure EVERY time. They love doing three coats to really lock it in. And that third coat makes the biggest difference sometimes. Pedicures are great as well — one star is missing because the massage is just alright. I would recommend this to ANYONE. I always get a great manicurist.

Clean, large location with great prices, but I felt that the quality reflected the low prices. After only 4 days, my gel manicure is chipped. I felt that my technician rushed me through my mani/​pedi and did not interact with me once. Additionally, they only accept cash tips and I was frustrated to find that she could not tell me where the nearest ATM was.

Linh rocks! Gave me awesome lashes when I had none. Clean, friendly and takes you on time for your appointment. Convenient location in Southie.

Just got my lashes and eyebrows done! Posted pics. They are awesome. This place is a hidden gem. Great prices too. Don’t believe me… Check them out yourself. Linh and the rest of the staff are friendly and efficient which I like since I’m always in a hurry. Parking can be difficult but I normally manage and believe me when I tell you, it’s worth the prices and the quality.

This has been my go to salon for about the past year, year and a half. I ask for Nancy every time as she’s a perfectionist and I absolutely LOVE the way she does my nails! (I get a gel manicure and pedicure) Every person that works there is very personable and will always greet you by your name when you walk through the door with a smile. They do just about every spa treatment you can imagine, and not until recently when I went there with eyelash extensions from a different salon was I told that they also do eyelash extensions. Fast forward to today, I got a new full set of lashes by Linh and I’m in LOVE with them! They look very natural, and I can’t stress enough how great they look! She uses individual lashes, which a lot of people advertise they use but actually use cluster lashes, Linh uses the single one by one pieces and applies them to perfection! I will definitely recommend this salon to anyone I know!

No one does it better than these guys! I’ve been all around the city, trying nail place that happen to be convenient at «that moment» and then I’m reminded why I shouldn’t go anyplace other than Gaelic!

I came here Saturday (its been 3 days) and my mani/​pedi looks amazing. Everyone gave me compliments on my nails. I got gel mani and a regular pedi, which totaled up to be $ 48. Definitely coming back, they are so precise and careful.

Usual Boston salon experience except for the insane quality of the gel nail! Two weeks has been my max before. Am now on week 5 and there is NO cracking around the tips. Want to see how long they’ll last.

I just wanted to say that I just discovered this gem in my neighborhood and I will be coming back here probably every week for manicure & pedicure. Absolutely amazing service and great care for the customer.
These ladies and gents (yes — gents! isn’t that awesome?) definitely know what they are doing and I absolutely loved my experience here. And the best thing is that it’s literally two blocks away from my house.
Can’t wait to try their other services. Highly recommended!

Great spot. Friendly staff. Hot stone massage comes with a standard pedicure. Hot towels, great massage. Can’t wait to come back.

I’m officially a regular at Gaelic now. Why? For $ 12, you get a great high quality manicure from some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in a salon. Everyone is so welcoming and make a point to remember you next time. Their massages in between manis and pedis are both amazing, and the salon couldn’t be cleaner — shiny floors, sanitized tools for every customer, new-​ish pedicure chairs with massage functionality that always works. It’s all the little things that add up to a consistently great experience at Gaelic.
The one caveat — sometimes they have trouble running on time, so don’t try to add this in between busy appointments. However, once you’re in the chair, things are great.

Gaelic Day Spa has gotten a makeover since my last review. The salon looks much more inviting and up-​to-​date. It is cleaner, well organized and makes good use of the large space.
I’ve also been in to get a few more mani/​pedis and they have all been great. The pedicures were especially fantastic — I think my legs were massaged for 25 minutes!
The last time I was in I immediately ruined two of my nails. After some pressing from a friend, I returned later that night to see if they could touch them up (about 5 minutes before they closed… terrible of me). We couldn’t identify the nail polish that was used earlier, so the manicurist told me to pick another color so she could redo them. I felt so bad but she was insistent, and then refused to take my tip at the end of it. Talk about service!
