Grace Nail & Spa

I started going here a few months ago to Charlie, at first he was doing an ok job a little rough though but ok. They do offer shoulder massages which I think is creepy made me feel very uncomfortable. I’ve been getting my nails done for over 30 years and never, ever had any manicurist given shoulder massages so that was a turn off right there. The last few times I went to Charlie he absolutely ruined my original nails!!!
I understand acrylic nails are bad anyway but the way he does it he buffs and grinds your original nail into the acrylic I’ve never seen that done before, Not to mention he told me and my daughter that we have Ingrown nails we need to take these off and get new set out on!!! WHAT? How do you get ingrown nails when there long!!! So yea back to EZ NAILS we go.

I would be very happy if I didn’t know there were better manicures outside of this area. I come regularly for liquid gel and gel polish and want to note two things. One, there aren’t many good neutrals in gel polish. They don’t have Essie gel. In OPI they have Put It In Neutral and Bubble Bath. Second, the liquid gel takes much longer here than I’ve experienced elsewhere. It can take up to an hour and a half, versus a 45 minute job I’ve had while traveling in CT. Having said that, this is my go to place in the Arlington area. They are friendly and responsive, and never gripe about having to redo something or change a color. The paraffin wax is complementary and a pleasure, especially in the winter. The pedicures are also consistently good. Both of the men give deep massage.

I came here to get a full set of gel nails. The tech that I had ground my natural nails down so much that it hurt. I should have walked away right there. I showed a picture of the nail shape that I wanted (oval) and still ended up walking away with squoval despite saying «more round, please» after asking how I liked the shape. I didn’t know anything about how artificial nails are applied (like what goes into gel vs acrylic), but upon further research when I got home it turns out that I was given a set of acrylic nails and charged for a full gel set. He even had me put my hands in the UV light to «cure» even though now that I know more, these are clearly acrylics. To make matters worse, the polish was applied unevenly an is already starting to chip off despite me not really doing anything with my hands all day. I know that I should go back and either try to get some of my money back or have them redo my nails, but I can’t stand the thought of having to go back there. :(

I’ve been to this business 3 times now. The first was my own gel manicure. The second was for my daughter’s first ever manicure. The third was for my daughter and I to each have pedicures. These people are beyond awesome! They were SO SO amazing to my daughter! Also, they give a free paraffin with every nail service! Their service is superior, and they are awesome people on top of that. If i could give 6 stars, I would!!!

Excellent quality work with a real focus on customer experience. The foot and shoulder massages alone (with every pedicure and manicure, respectively) are worth a visit!

My girlfriend and I go every 2 weeks to get a fill. I see Charlie who is excellent and my friend sees Grace. They are both very nice! The wax that you get after your fill is something extra that they don’t charge you for its awesome!!! Love this salon!!!

Went here for a gel manicure, first off let me start by saying the guy doing my nails was so rough and ended up making my nail beds bleed. Not to mention the most painful neck and shoulder massage ever! It’s been hours and my neck is still hurting. Will not be returning

This place is exceptionally reasonably priced, very sanitary (plastic lining the pedicure tubs and everything!) and everyone there was lovely. They do an excellent job and there are so many fun little bonuses that are all included with a basic mani/​pedi; leg scrub, intense massage, hot stones during the pedicure; shoulder massage and paraffin dip with the manicure. Most importantly, this was hands down THE BEST foot (and leg) massage during a pedicure (or ever for that matter) that I have EVER had. Plus to top it all off, they carry the week-​long nail polish for only $ 3 more (this polish is awesome, it makes a regular mani last at least 9 – 12 days whereas regular polish only lasts 2 – 3 on me). All in all a great place — i will definitely be returning!

This place is amazing. Super clean, beautiful space and reasonably priced for manicures and pedicures. The massages that come with the services are fabulous, and everyone is very pleasant. I’ve been to many other nail salons in and around the city and this is definitely my new favorite. I’ve been twice since I discovered it and plan to make it my regular place for manis/​pedis.

A very solid manicure while I was there but it just didn’t last that long. I did enjoy the shoulder massage and they offer a loyalty card, like the competitors. A very convenient location right in the center.

Getting a pedicure here was the best thing I have ever done for myself, on the weekend after my first week back at school. I’m a teacher and every September my feet have to readjust to the long hours of standing and walking around. Tina gave my legs a lengthy massage with lotions AND hot stones. It was fantastic.

Very happy with my experience here tonight. I noticed this new nail salon while driving by and must admit the 20% off grand opening offer is hard to resist. I went in for a pedicure and was impressed right when I walked through the door. This salon is spacious, bright, and seems very clean. The pedicure spa chairs are super comfortable. I met the owner Grace and she started my pedicure for me. She seemed very sweet and I loved that she remembered my name right away. Tony took over half way through the pedicure so Grace could tend to other matters. He is very skilled at giving foot and leg massages. The nail techs take their time and seem to be perfectionists. My toes looked great and I felt very relaxed by the end of my appointment.
The salon is conveniently located in Arlington center with plenty of parking in the large lot out behind the block. Lots of great restaurants and shops nearby as well if you want to plan a girls night out after a pedi.

Very nice place. Clean, state of the art equipment. Tony gave me an amazing leg & foot message with my pedicure. I will definitely be back.

Definitely the best pedicure experience I have ever had!!!
Right in Arlington Center, the place is bright and beautiful, all dryers are incorporated in the furniture so it is neat.
The massage chairs are incredibly good, they give you a 15 minutes leg massage ending by hot stones, then while your polisg dries, they give you a 5 minutes shoulder massage… heaven!
I found my new nail salon!

Meticulous care and expert precision are the minimum you’ll get here. Constantly adding on massage, hot stone therapy, lemon peel masque and back massage you’ll be shocked at how much value you get here. Currently offering 20% off, you’ll find Grace clean, sanitary and detail oriented. A fab place!

Brand new, super clean, and hygienic nail salon.
Special deal right now all services are 20% off! This is a STEAL!
Technicians are very pleasant and skilled. I got a pedicure and the technician spent over an hour making sure my feet looked perfect.

This is a wonderful new salon in Arlington, Ma! I’m very impressed with the cleanliness of the facility and the attentiveness of the staff. Their prices are also very reasonable. Check them out!
