Lisa and her team are so good! The attention to detail is reassuring - from the cleanliness of the facilities to paintbrush removal of excess color. If you're in Somerville, this is where you should get your nails done! Read Less

i've been to lisa's nails on and off for a couple years now. this is a vietnamese-run nail salon with a host of women on staff. it's run by immigrants, just like an asian restaurant. be nice. it's no frills but they do good work. the pedicure chairs have massage controls. the place is clean and doesn't smell like a salon (you know what i mean. i've always hated that smell). and pretty much for the lowest prices you can find in town, they do manis and pedis. i think they bumped up the pedi price to 26, but again, versus others who charge double, this is still quite fine. service quality varies depending on who you work with, but in my experience is generally very good to excellent. i had a younger gal a couple times who wasn't my favorite, but the others have been quite good, and the woman i worked with today definitely took the time to work out all my calluses. i'm not sure about the person who says you pay and tip in advance. having only done pedis, i've always paid and tipped afterwards. tips are cash only as is customary in many service institutions.and if the polish messes up afterwards in the day, you're welcome to return for a free touchup, because they want to make it right. because they're awesome.i've  been to other places with better foot massages, etc etc, but again, paid at least 50. this is worth your while in terms of quality for the buck.by the way, you can park on the street but if you're on the meter, the meter maids will get you. be careful.there is also plenty of 2 hour free parking nearby as well.

Sandy is honestly the best, when I had fake nails and wanted a certain shape she took the time to make sure they were all perfect and even. Even now with my regular nails she makes sure the shape is perfect and exactly how I want them. I don't go anywhere else especially when it comes to acrylic nails, designs, and styles!Read Less

Manicures came off one day later. The girl who did it was really in a pissed off mood. I think it's because we were the first customers at the door before it opened and she didn't get the chance to get her Dunkin' Donuts. While our nails were drying she left and came back with Dunkin' Donuts and a big smile on her face. Prior to that she actually looked up in frowned at me, and was very rough which was unlike all my previous visits there . I also saw two cockroaches in there so needless to say I won't be back.
