NT Nail Spa

I needed a fill as it had been 3 weeks and my cousin was wanting to get a full set, after being turned away by 3 different places between Dracut and Hudson we found this place. Made an appointment for 5:45pm. We were greeted right away by a man and woman and they sat us next to each other– The man who I had asked questions about where I had gotten my nails done and actually listed unlike the last place as I like my nails on the shorter side. It was quick and the prices were not bad at all. I like to do a french with Color on top, he used the air brush and did a little fancy thing with the lines. My cousins nails came out awesome as well. We will def go back here

Sometimes satisfied, sometimes not. Pricing is fair. I just really dislike that when I’m rushed through the appointment that you can tell– when they take their time they usually come out decent. I’ve gone here for a long time but noticed I’m always fixing my nails when I get home to my liking. They are usually uneven and the rounded tips will be shaved on one side more then the other. Also they apply gel too thick and usually it’ll come out uneven (thicker on one side and thin on the other on the same nail), I like my nails to look natural. They NEVER push back the cuticle even when I’ve requested it verbally. The gel always is never up to the cuticle so it looks as though they’ve already have grown out which makes me have to go back sooner so I get the tactic but don’t appreciate it. A lot of the younger girls are always on their phones and lounging around in comfy clothing vs professional clothing. Sometimes they switch nail techs to accommodate new customers. No one talks, it so quiet and when they do talk it’s to each other in their foreign language which always makes me think they are talking about me. They answer their personal phone calls on their cell phones while your in the chair. They don’t have brushes to clean under your nails before polishing them AND the towels always smell like they’ve been in the washing machine wet for three days before they were dried. Those would be the down sides. It hasn’t all been bad obviously since I’ve been going there for so long, but sick of paying to have to fix them myself later on and the inconsistency is quite frustrating and disappointing. Will try some other local salons that may want my repeat business more than NT.

I’m really torn as to whether or not to go back. I’ve been twice and have had fairly bad experiences both times but it’s the closest, most convenient nail place for me to go to. First of all, they’re all fairly rude. I just got a gel manicure and the woman who did my nails never bothered to push back or cut the cuticles on my left hand and she did a very poor job of it on my right hand. So while my nails now have gel polish on them, it doesn’t even look like I had a manicure. She didn’t get the polish all that close to the nail bed so it already looks like the manicure is growing out. When I put my hand in the machine with the UV light, it felt extremely dirty. They’re supposed to put lotion on your hand at the end of the manicure and for some reason she only put lotion on one hand, which is just confusing. I think the most concerning part is that I’m pretty confident that the tools she used weren’t clean. The metal tools are supposed to be cleaned after every customer. A good nail salon will take the clean tools out of a sealed package but she just took them out of her little nail tool box and then threw them back in when she was done. This is how people get infections. That alone makes me never want to go back. As a side note, my technician was literally wearing pajamas… Sweatpants and actual slippers… That has nothing to do with the manicure, I just thought it was unprofessional.

They have no personality. the boss is a complete b… they have limited colors and 10 min wait = 30 min wait. #rudeasspeople

I’m really indifferent about my experience here today. It being a Tuesday morning, the place was empty. I walked in for a color change on my gel manicure.
The good:
My nails look good and they were done in a timely manner. I guess that’s the point, right?
The bad:
I was not spoken to once during my appointment. Like-​usually my nail technicians ask me questions and have conversation. Nope. Not here. It was dead silent– which made the employee playing the electric keyboard the center of attention. It was odd and not the time or place. Even though it’s slow someone is still in there trying to get their nails done in peace!
I will go back because the prices are reasonable and it’s close to home so there will be a follow up review.

I have never written a review before but my experience at this Nail Spa is the worst I have ever had. They are very polite and friendly but when I went for a second visit to have a Gel fill done and expressed my personal nail preference they began to talk in their native language so I could not understand what they were saying. I did give them one more chance after that but she placed way too much gel on my nails so it is very thick and looks horrible. I do not recommend this Nail Salon.

What an absolute nightmare! They do not give nearly enough space in this box to give as many details as I would like. I arrived with two other people mid-​afternoon on a Sunday. We were there to enjoy manicures and pedicures. Upon our initial interaction with the staff, we were rather rudely ignored for quite some time. We then were directed to the massage chairs to get our pedicures. Now, most massage chairs in a salon cause some level of relaxation. These chairs rather caused a torturing pain to the scapula down to the sacrum. My cervical spine was threatening suicide. After turning this horrible device off, I noticed that the jets in the foot pool were not operational for half the soaking time. The pools are cleaned by hand… I think. All instruments used during the procedure were washed in a shallow sink using hand soap. Most establishments autoclave their instruments to reduce infection and disease contamination risk. A cheese grater from Homegoods was then taken out of the toolbox and powerfully applied to my feet as if I were on a television show satire. A permanent fixture (my skin) was accidentally clipped off somehow causing bleeding and immense discomfort. I was then directed over to the manicure table. I hobbled over like a geriatric and sat. I didn’t even want to go through with this at this point. There was ZERO conversation at any time between staff and patrons. My fingernails were clipped (crookedly), and filed. They didn’t buff them at all. I was sent on my way. The other guests had the exact same issues with symmetry of the nails, and everyone paid a different price for the same exact service. Absolutely, under any circumstances, do NOT go in here. Never ever again will I dare enter this chamber of torture and despair.

In all my 45 years I have never had a professional manicure. My nails were always short and brittle but 3 weeks ago I started drinking protein shakes and my nails grew long and strong so I decided to go for it. I walked in to NT Nails on a Friday night after work. I asked about having a shellac manicure as the polish lasts two weeks. I was immediately seated and a young girl came to the station and started working on my nails. Mind you, she had her work cut out for her as my cuticles were a mess. She did a beautiful job, carried a great conversation with me and not once did I hear her speak in her native tongue. And let’s face it, you go to those salons for a pedi/​mani and you always wonder if they are talking smack about you. Soon after, another woman from another station came over and engaged in the conversation with me. It was more than delightful and I will definitely be back every two weeks to have my mani done.

Have walked in Twice now at Two different days and times both times multiple people sitting talking at stations with NO customers and turned away and told no opening for a fill come back another day! Really? Why is EVERY ONE sitting talking when I walk in then? I was told this was a place to go to but know will NOT go back Ever again! They have lost any future business from myself and my friends!

Clean Salon. Great, friendly service. Good deal! I would def go back.

Stopped in today for a walk-​in mani-​pedi. I was feeling the need to relax and having a foot massage definitely accomplishes that goal. The spa I usually patronize (Innovations in Merrimack, NH) is closed on Mondays, my backup spa (Aidan James in Nashua, NH) is also closed on Mondays, so I put out the call on Facebook for a recommendation from local friends and a trusted childhood friend who lives in Hudson told me about NT, which is conveniently located in the plaza with Bull Run Beef and Valentino’s.
I checked their website for hours and pricing and was pleased to find that it’s only $ 40 for a mani-​pedi — $ 30 for a pedicure on its own, $ 15 for a manicure on its own. Add-​ons include designs, acrylics, gel, exfoliation, foot mask, paraffin and other services. They also do waxing, but that wasn’t on my list for today.
I waited about 20 minutes because I didn’t have an appointment, but spent about 5 minutes choosing the color I would want off the wall of hundreds of bottles — OPI, China Glaze, Essie, Color Club and others. I went with Color Club’s «Age of Aquarius». Two flat-​screen TVs tuned to «Friends» plus Facebook on my iPhone made the time fly.
Once it was my turn, I was called over to one of the pedicure chairs (with rolling shiatsu back massage built in!) and the girl went to work, chatting as she worked, making sure I was comfortable, that the water temperature was good. Her older brother stopped by the shop to say hello and everyone in the room (staff and customers) ended up talking about the new Merrimack Outlets, fashion, frozen yogurt (Frozurt!) and other stuff.
After the pedicure, I was given some of those delightful paper sandals because I’m pathologically incapable of remembering to wear flip-​flops to the spa. (Ridiculous, because I have a pair of silver Oka b. sandals that are reserved just for that purpose… but I only remember to bring them maybe once in four or five times.) I shuffled over to the nail table and waited a few minutes while she cleaned up the pedicure chair, washed out the foot bath, washed all the instruments and got a clean set of manicure tools from the sterilizer.
The manicure was basic, but she filed and shaped all my nails (I have natural nails that are very thin, so I don’t do much to them), included an excellent hand massage and put on base, two coats of polish and topcoat. The visit wrapped up with a few minutes at the drying station — Lanel dryers with UV and fans on the hands, red lamps and fans on the toes and a round button that you just brush against to turn them on so you don’t mess up the still-​curing polish. She said one round is good, but if I had time, turn them back on for a second, so I did.
Conversation was nice — it’s awkward when you are just sitting there with someone at your feet or holding onto your hands and they don’t talk, so I was thrilled that she was so pleasant and chatty.
All told, I spent $ 44 for the hour — I would have tipped $ 5 but I had one less $ 1 bill than I thought on me. (I’ll make sure to tip $ 6 next time.) I wish I had caught the name of the girl who did such great work, but I’ll be sure to ask on the next visit.

I went to NT because it was conveniently located while I’m on vacation. The mani pedi combo is $ 40.
The good…
The facility is clean and open. The girls are friendly. Like most nail places they accept walk ins.
The bad…
I choose a natural manicure and they didn’t even clean my nails! A quick soak, yes, but there was visible dirt. My cuticles are still a mess. An hour later I noticed air bubbles in my toenail polish AND it was clumpy and still soft.
The bottom line…
It’s a day later and I really feel like I still need a manicure & pedicure. I’ve had better $ 20 mani pedi combos from other places. I can’t recommend NT to anyone. Don’t waste your time or money.

I love this salon and have been going here for years. I can always get in and my manis/​pedis always come out really well on my natural nails. The salon is really clean and they only use sanitized tools. All the girls are great. Their pedicure massage chairs are the best!

I really wish I could give 2.5 stars. Given the cleanliness of the salon I chose to bump the review up to 3 stars.
One of the things I liked about NT Nail Spa was that they accept appointments. Sometimes with the salons in the Nashua area it is largely walk-​in. Based on the feedback from another Unilocal user, I decided to book an appointment with Tiffany for a set of pink and white acrylics. I was a few minutes early for my appointment, so I had a seat in their waiting area that was very comfortable and clean. I was impressed by how spacious and busy the salon was. There were ample tables for manicures, and several pedicure chairs for services to be provided.
One thing that was disappointing from my visit to NT Nail Spa was that a walk-​in arrived after I had come in and just before my scheduled appointment for a basic pedicure. There was ten minutes or less until my scheduled appointment time. Without anyone informing me that Tiffany would be late, Tiffany accepted the walk-​in and delayed my appointment time by 15 minutes. Now granted, I had the day off and would have been flexible to some extent if asked. But no one asked, nor did anyone communicate that she was going to be late.
Tiffany did make up for the appointment with the speed she did my new set. She is perhaps one of the only technicians who has ever cross-​checked the tips she put on by comparing each finger to its match on the opposite hand to be certain the lengths matched, and she adjusted them accordingly. Tiffany did say she was going to do the white part of the set a little bit higher up because if she put it where my free edge was it would look like I had tiny nail beds. In retrospect I wish I had asked her not to do this because already I need the white part of my nails filled which is a higher service price next time I go in. Additionally she did not really push my cuticles back at all, so it really made my nail beds appear smaller than they are.
Overall the salon was clean and seemed to do efficient work. Although I decided to go back to my favorite nail salon that is a little bit further away, I don’t know that this is a bad nail salon compared to the other salons that are similar in the Nashua/​Hudson area.
