Cambridge Nails and Skin Spa

Lena is great. She always makes sure I feel relaxed and comfortable. The gels always last long.

This is an update to my last review. Had some problems with my original manicure chipping. The color polish I chose originally was sheer and still looked sheer after the topcoat so the technician applied an extra coat of polish and a top coat. The extra coats seemed to make the manicure chip easily. When I called on the phone to discuss the problem, they were so nice. When I came in, they made everything right by not only repainting my nails in a different color but also filling, buffing, and trimming my cuticles before the painting. The manicure looks great. They were very kind and apologetic, and I will definitely be returning.

LoveLoveLove! Great mani/​pedi and massage! Lena is the sweetest. I will defiantly be making this my regular place!

I came back to try it again after I received a response from the manager on my previous review. The customer service was great when I walked in, I told them the situation with my previous shellac manicure and I got a complimentary shellac polish change.
TBD on how long this one lasts but it’s looking good after 4 days :)

This place is great! Friendly staff, affordable prices ($ 12 mani, $ 25 pedi, $ 35 for both), and it’s one of the best manicures I’ve ever gotten. Four days later it still looks perfect!

Pros: Ladies are careful, color choices are plentiful, and the massage is pretty extensive
Cons: Slow– took WAY longer than I expected, the downside of the above Pros… Also, my pedicure lasted a long time, but the manicure chipped rather quickly, which was disappointing (old polish maybe?).

I’ve been here a few times are they are so nice, so attentive and do such a great job. A great local spot.

One of the best pedicures I’ve ever had! The massage was so great! I will definitely be back!

This place is my go-​to. Lena and her crew are amazing. They do SUCH a good job, they don’t rush and take care, but they are sensitive to whatever time requirements you may have. Best of both worlds. They give out water and a do a paraffin wax for manis, free of charge. And everyone is so, so nice.

Daisy was very accommodating, happy to review my choices of services and she did a beautiful and careful job with my mani/​pedi. And her «boss» was so thoughtful, checking on my car to make sure my meter didn’t run out before I was finished. I will definitely go back!

The ladies who work here are so kind! They made the best of my experience. A bottle of water for everyone and free paraffin wax manicure included with a gel mani. Plus, the gel mani was great.

I don’t a pedi often, but when I do, this is the place! A great value, they provide wonderful care for my poor, tired feet.

I’m a pedicure newbie, but my BFF and I decided to give this place a try… well worth it! The price was fair, the people were quiet but sweet and friendly, and they did a great job on the pedicure! In the past when I’ve manicures and they push back or trim my cuticles, someone would always cut too far, dig too deep into my nail and I’d bleed. I was nervous and watched like a hawk the whole time when they did that part, and no pain, and they didn’t make me bleed! I was really relieved. They also give you a ‘get 5, the 6^th is free’ card, which is awesome. I was planning on making pedicures a habit, and will definitely return now!

Great nail salon at a low price point. I was really impressed by the service at this salon; I got a GREAT hand and foot massage with my mani/​pedi, and the nail technician paid attention to small things (like picking up my bag and shoes for me, letting me take my time at the nail drying fan, etc) that made it feel like a much higher priced experience.

We found Cambridge nails and skin spa last Friday when a girlfriend and I decided to get a manicure and pedicure. We called and were told to come right in. At $ 35 dollars it was such steal, and we left feeling totally pampered. It was CLEAN, bright and airy with a massive polish selection. Only downside: my nails were full of bubbles (it happens) and I didn’t have time to have them repainted at the time, but they said I could come back and get them fixed Tuesday when I’m back in town, so solid customer service too.

I disappointed the other place, so I went to this place. This is a best place to do pedi/​mani compare to the other places. They take their time to do massage on feet and hands.
This place is very clean and cool all the time. The price is reasonable for kids. The staff in this shop are very helpful and friendly, they make you feel like at home. A promotion is also going on here, you should come to check it out. Free-​Wi-​Fi is also available here!

I LOVE the new owners and what they’ve done to the place! I must admit I was extremely nervous and saddened when the previous owner told me she was relocating. It broke my heart bcz I hate change and loved the service they provided. Fast– forward almost a year later and after 6 visits with the new owner and guess who’s one happy well manicured/​pedicured little lady? That’s right! ME! Extremely professional and courteous. An expanded color selection. AND a rewards program! Based on my previous nail salon reviews, my tiny (VERY tiny) fan base is well aware of how serious I take my manicure experience. Not bcz I’m a bratty/​demanding person, but bcz the sterility (and customer service) of an establishment are essential. The new owners definitely have the right stuff!
Stop by. Kick your feet up and prepare for a great experience.
This place rocks! They had me at «pick a color» *tear*

Of all the various inexpensive nail places in Porter, this is easily the best! $ 25 for a pedicure, but it was one of the most thorough and enjoyable ones I’ve ever had.
The shop itself is really pleasant and clearly well maintained, feels pretty classy. The workers are very attentive — they didn’t do multiple people per worker while I was there. There is a very large selection of polishes. The massage chairs actually work and are super relaxing. They spent a long time scrubbing the dead skin off my feet, trimming my nails carefully, and conditioning — my feet are in excellent shape and I can tell this will last! It’s definitely not in-​and-​out though — including drying time, it took maybe 45 minutes or maybe even longer. The attention to detail is great — if you’re walking out with closed toed shoes, they’ll offer to spray something on your feet and then wrap them in saran wrap to protect your fresh paint!

The new management here is amazing. Lena is so friendly and accommodating. I had my nails done here prior to my wedding. I brought in CND additives glitter that I wanted added to my shellac manicure, and Lena had never used this product before. She looked up online how to apply it correctly, and they turned out perfect! I got so many compliments of my nails on both my wedding day and honeymoon! My manicure and pedicure have even lasted over 3 weeks! The place has been cleaned up a bit since the change in management, and they offer many different colors of polish. I am so happy to have this nail salon so close by!

I’ve been coming to Cambridge Nails for over a decade through multiple changes in ownership (I’m talking about the one on Mass Ave in Cambridge, not to be confused with the one on Cambridge Street in Boston). Just met the new owner, Lina, today, and got a pedicure.
Got the new phone number from Unilocal,called for an appointment on a Wednesday morning, and was able to get in there in 15 minutes.
No wait when I arrived. The owner was replacing and labeling all nail polishes, and recommended some new colors.
The spa still looks the same as with the previous owners, but a little cleaner or less cluttered at least.
Ina gave me the pedicure. She spent more time than most on my feet and toe nails. I was not in a rush so I appreciated that.
I wore my sneakers in, so the owner sent me home in some styrofoam flip flops. I would’ve bought some cheap flip flops from them if they had a size other than 11.
Don’t know how long the polish will last, but all in all I had a pleasant experience.
