About

Nail Monster sits on Harvard Street in Brookline. The salon describes itself as upscale and focuses on gel services and nail art in the Korean and Japanese style. Parking is metered on the street, with lots nearby behind the salon on Babcock Street and behind the Maruichi Japanese supermarket across the road.

Manicures and pedicures form the core of the menu. Basic manicures and pedicures include polish and a hand or foot mask, and the Dazzle Dry versions use Dazzle Dry polish. Pedicure tiers step up from a classic service to a Sunkist Green Tea version, a Heavenly version with a 20-minute hot stone lotion massage, and a top Luxury Nail Monster version with a 30-minute hot stone and essential oil massage, a Dead Sea salt soak and scrub, and a choice of honey milk or lavender scent. Gel options range from single color and French styles to gel extensions, structure gel and detailed nail art, including chrome powder, ombre and hand-painted designs. Clients can bring reference photos.

Sanitation is a stated priority. Reusable metal tools are sterilized and sealed in individual pouches that are opened in front of the client. Single-use files, buffers, pumice stones and toe separators are thrown away after each client, and every pedicure uses single-use buffers, files and pumice stones.

Beyond nails, the salon offers a Klapp facial spa line with treatments aimed at different concerns, eyelash extensions in named styles such as mink, hybrid, anime, fox and Thai, and waxing for face, body and bikini areas. Group bookings can be arranged in advance for birthdays, bridal showers and other occasions.

Walk-ins are welcome, but space is not guaranteed, so booking ahead is recommended. Online reservations take a $30 deposit per person with a valid card. Cancellations or changes need 24 hours' notice, and late cancellations or no-shows forfeit the deposit. If running late, clients can call, and the appointment can be held for up to 10 minutes. Gel services carry a 7-day guarantee, and the salon says it will fix any issue within three days of a visit. Phone is 857-340-8898.

The salon states a mission of raising the standard for nail services through skilled work and non-toxic, natural and organic products, with hospital-grade sanitation.

The salon says it aims for a space that feels fun, inventive, relaxing and professional, with a strong focus on cleanliness.
