About

AR Nail Bar & Lounge is on Revolution Drive in Somerville, close to Assembly Row. The salon describes its interior as spacious and clean. It is open Monday to Friday from 10:00 am to 7:30 pm, Saturday from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm, and Sunday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Cleanliness is a stated priority. According to the salon, tools are medically sterilized and disinfected after every use. Buffers and files are used once and then thrown away, every pedicure is done with a liner for protection, and staff are trained to follow a sanitation protocol.

The menu is broad. Manicures run from a signature spa version at $30 up to an AR spa manicure at $60 with a soak, sea salt and vitamin E exfoliation, oil massage and paraffin. Pedicures include a quick option at $37, a deluxe spa pedicure at $45, a detox herbal spa pedicure made with Botanica Escapes products at $75, and an AR spa pedicure at $85 that adds a hot stone massage and paraffin. Mani-pedi combinations range from $67 to $103.

Beyond the basics, the salon offers dipping powder, which is a non-refill technique using colored powders with vitamins and calcium, and gel color changes, including on acrylic nails. Gel X and acrylic full sets are available, and the salon describes Gel X as softer and lighter than acrylic. Waxing covers the face, body, bikini and legs, and there are kids' manicures and pedicures. Three beauty packages combine a facial with a manicure and pedicure, and they can also be bought as gifts.

According to the salon, the aim is good service with top-quality products and materials, and sanitation steps are applied across services.
