Nail Salons 15 Reviews in Manhattan, NY (Part 3)

Cheyenne James This is literally the best pedicure I’ve ever had in my life. I’m so used to water pedicures but Russian pedicures have my heart since being introduced to them last year. I always get compliments on my toes and have no complaints at all. Every single worker has been exceptional. I will continue to go here especially for when I am traveling. The service is exceptional, always and will continue to come back for services.

Nicole Semenov I’ve been coming to this Russian nail salon for a while now, and every visit is an absolute treat! The girls are incredibly sweet and attentive—they always offer tea and delicious treats, making the experience so relaxing. The manicure designs are nothing short of stunning (just look at the photo!), and they last for weeks without chipping. The attention to detail and creativity is unmatched. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for long-lasting, gorgeous nails and a lovely experience!

Caitlyn Andersen I have been coming to this salon for quite a few visits. I trust to see any one of the nail technicians. They are all fantastic. I most recently got my nails done with Slava. She is delicate and precise with taking care of the cuticle. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my nails this time around. I get the hard gel overlay on my natural nails. They last 4/5 weeks before I come in for a new set. At previous salons, I had been going every 3 weeks as my nails grow quickly. The salon is very clean and has a great atmosphere. Highly recommend Celebrity Nails!

maria ramirez First time getting a Russian Manicure and after reading the reviews for Celebrity Nails, I figured Id try them out first. Walked in and was greeted by the receptionist who offered a variety of drinks including wine & champagne. Marina was very sweet and explained the process to me as she did my manicure. I was nervous there would be some pain, but there wasnt any at all. My nails look sleek and the cuticles are clean. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely go back!

asia a Really nice salon, clean, and polite service. Staff are very welcoming and kind. Marina who did my nails was very precise with the shaping, which I appreciated. Ive gone here multiple times to get gel manicures and pedicures. I love how my nails came out! Thank you!

Michelle Amazing amazing nail place for every occasion! I saw that recent reviews were pretty poor and was so confused by them because I had a great experience at Lexi Nails. I was recommended by a close friend (who goes here every time to get her nails done) to give this place a try and it was the most professional, sanitary, and personalized nail job I’ve ever had. There was a little bit of a wait even though I made an appointment, but the process was so smooth and quick. My nail technician immediately started asking me what color, design, shape, etc I wanted and would switch in and out with other technicians whose specialties worked with what I wanted. They did an amazing job with the shaping, chrome color, and extensions. They were also incredibly friendly and held conversation with me for a comfortable amount of time. The owners were also incredibly kind, taking photos of the nails and doing gorgeous designs on my friend’s nails. If you’re here for just a regular gel manicure, the price point is great for Manhattan. Getting extensions and designs is definitely more expensive but just depends on what you want. Generally, I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get a cute manicure in. Will be coming here again with friends!

Maggie Weston Hands down best in the city (pun intended). I’m actually really surprised there are any bad reviews. Everyone in there is kind and pay attention to detail. I travel from Brooklyn for the Gel X tips because I know they will always be great. Second to none with nail art.

Marissa Cassidy The staff is friendly & professional and the salon is clean. I get uv gel fills and they do a great job. The nail art can be pricey, but is SO worth it-they do a beautiful job! I always get compliments on my nails.

Alysha Morgan I have mixed reviews about this place but ultimately I will come back for my nail tech & her alone. Yoko is the BEST nail tech they have in that place. She is quick, efficient & very talented. I’ve never met a nail tech in the city that works in a salon that is as good as her. She is the only reason why I will return to this place. I was charged incorrectly at the end of my service. I double checked with the woman at the front and she confirmed the price so I paid and left. An hour later, while I was at work, my phone was being bombarded with 10 calls, 3 voicemails and a text. I was unable to answer my phone & didn’t not see the notifications until 2 or 3 hours later. Turns out I was undercharged and they were making sure I could pay the full price in a panic. Paying the difference was not an issue for me but as a business that is not the way to go about that situation at all. A mistake was made that they should’ve just taken accountability for. I paid the difference but this was VERY unprofessional and honestly enough for me to not come back if it weren’t for Yoko.

Kathleen Eddie Miller I’m not one to leave bad reviews lightly. I appreciate their effort to try to do what I was hoping for and I totally understand that these nail techs learn through doing nails and repetition. But, I asked ahead of time if they had a nail tech who was capable of doing the art I wanted. They absolutely cannot do 3D nail art and when I asked them to confirm they could, they said of course and then the woman who did my nails didn’t even look at my inspo pic for more than a second and they were messy and poorly done (they looked like I’d had the nails on for 3 weeks the second they finished doing them, that’s how messy). The edges looked chipped and messy, you could see the black paint under the chrome on all of my nails. The gel balls were inconsistent(I know they’re not meant to be perfect but they were actually messy, I’m not being a perfectionist) and the 3D art fell off in 5 days and then they ghosted me when I messaged them about it. The first time I went in the lady who did my nails gave me cat eye even though I said chrome and then they charged me more for chrome when I said she did it wrong. I happily tipped both times because I am not a monster and I know these individuals are working on my nails for an hour and deserve the money for labor. It’s nothing personal but it’s frustrating that I asked ahead to make sure there was someone who could do it. I wouldn’t have been upset if they said they weren’t confident that they could do it at all. They’re probably a great place to go for basic nails but they can’t do 3D even though they say they can and they’ll charge you the same price as a place that actually can do 3D.

Galerie Swanström Outstanding service. Excellent manicure. Lots of attention to details. Massage was incredible. Highly recommend. Clean, too! And very friendly. Very clean, and good lighting. Contemporary atmosphere.

karen mercado Excellent! I was waiting over an hour to have dinner in NYC. Along my walk I seen this shop. When I walked upstairs WHAT A DIFFERENCE from walking off the street! Absolutely beautiful salon. I happened to be their last customer for the evening and instead of dealing with being rushed I felt like I had new friends! We talked and laughed and my nails came out smooth, even and just as I asked! SE HABLAN ESPAÑOL TABIEN! QUE LINDO TIEMPO CON ESTAS CHICKAS!

Destiny Jenkins THIS NAIL SALON IS THE BEST!! Not only do they take the time to really discuss the service and make sure you’re getting exactly what you want, they are extremely polite with excellent customer service for just 2 women running the place!! I got a basic pedi and mani and it was done so well I will definitely return, located right on Lexington Ave, easy to get to and they just redid the entire place. Very clean, very shic, with a wide variety of colors to choose from. They even have my favorite chrome silver gel color which is so hard to find!!! Please come visit and they gave a heaven sent neck and shoulder massage, *chefs kiss* 10/10

Ela Garcia I normally don’t wear tips, but had to get them a few weeks ago at a different salon, because my nails were a complete disaster; thin, flaky, dry cuticles, and extremely short. When I walked into Forever Young earlier today, I thought my only option would be to get tips again since my own nails were still weak. However, Stefy did such an amazing job cleaning, treating and reshaping them that I had no need to put on tips again. I also got a massage, and it was a great experience as well! I walked out of there feeling refreshed from the massage and super delighted with my nails. Forever Young is my new nail place for sure.

Rebecca Snyder Updated: my nails chipped after 2 days, and then I came back to get them fixed, and they chipped again the next day. Beautiful work, but doesn’t hold up. I am so happy with my manicure! It came out exactly how I envisioned it when I asked for a French manicure with light blue tips. I got a dip powder manicure with gel tips. Would recommend coming here for a quality nail salon experience! Also, the space is beautiful.

Tee Taylor I’ve done my nails with multiple nail techs here but mostly Ivy, the salon manager. Firstly, I did notice over time that they cater only to white women, which seems to be their preferred clientele. Overall the employees look unhappy. You don’t get a warm greeting upon entering and the overall experience feels transactional. Ivy has always asked me to come way before my scheduled appointment time because their one hour slots are not enough time. You would think they’d stop booking clients this way. She’s also asked me to book with her coworkers instead, my only guess is to save her availability for more “important” guests. She once gave my appointment slot away to a walk in customer, assuming I was the one without an appointment. I’ve also noticed that they always rush the soak off process by aggressively filing your natural nails until they’re paper thin. During the service, if you ask them to fix or correct something, they become visibly annoyed or just flat out ignore you until you ask again. Another fact worth mentioning, is that the total at checkout has never been consistent even though Ive always gotten the same service(s) done. With that being said, my last visit with Ivy was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I made it clear that I was unhappy with the look (thick, lumpy texture, distorted shape) of my Gel X nails. Ivy admitted to applying “a lot” of layers of product which was extremely noticeable. I politely asked her to thin the layers out or fix the abnormal appearance but she refused. Instead she tried to blame it on several things, such as the chrome or the shape of the Gel-X, which I’d gotten countless times in the past. After she disregarded my concerns, I asked her to remove them because I was leaving town in the morning and would have to get them redone. She said she’d remove them but I’d still have to pay full price. It wasn’t until she saw that, regardless of her threat, I was still serious about removing her work, that she finally offered to fix the problem. After removing the 5 or 6 layers of polish and replacing it with just two coats, it turns out the problem wasn’t any of the reasons she mentioned. I didn’t end up with the nails I asked for but I was just glad they didn’t look ridiculous for my work trip in the morning. On all of my previous visits, I’d always tip a minimum of 20%, regardless of never truly feeling valued as a customer here. On this day at checkout, I noticed there was an even bigger difference (at least $25) in price, which they claimed was for the chrome I had removed. I accepted their reasoning but decided not to tip. In the past, I’d barely get a good bye from Ivy but when she noticed I didn’t leave a tip, she came over to the checkout counter and demanded one in cash in front of her employees. I told her I did not have cash and attempted to explain my reasons for not tipping. Instead of having a professional conversation with me as the leader of her staff, Ivy just cut me off and told me to find another salon. Which only further confirmed the red flags I noticed up until that point and my desire not to return.

HCTIW I went to get my nails done on a Tuesday and they had started to chip on Friday. The application process wasn’t done properly so that’s why the gel was coming off. I went back and asked them for a refund or for them to redo them at no cost to me. They agreed and I was very satisfied with the results. Five stars because I really appreciate the way they made things right. I love how it actually covers all the edges of the nail.

Ilse Paanakker The best nail salon in Manhattan with incredible service! Powder nails with design stay perfect for weeks. Ivy and Maggie are so talented & I highly recommend.

Tara Smith Im extremely picky when it comes to nail salons. Ill read every review before I even decide to make an appointment. Ive also tried several salons in the city; however, after my first visit at Xcellent Nail Salon, I knew Id found my place. :) Ive been coming here for over a year now and my nails are ALWAYS perfect. I get dip manicures and the length of time they last without lifting deserves a medal. Truly. Not just that, but every technician is WONDERFUL. I know that whomever I see during my appointment, my nails will be perfect and beautiful. The only salon Ill go to. And the only salon I recommend.

evelyn frias Nice place, clean and spacious. I had a great pedicure and manicure. It isn’t pricey either.

Julija Absolutely Amazing Experience! LAV Nails & More is truly the best nail salon in the heart of NYC! From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed into a beautifully designed space with a modern and luxurious ambiance. The attention to detail is impeccable—from the cleanliness of the salon to the carefully curated selection of colors and nail designs. The service is top-notch! The staff is incredibly professional, friendly, and highly skilled. They take the time to understand exactly what you want and ensure that every little detail is perfect. Whether you’re looking for a classic manicure, intricate nail art, or the latest trends in nail design, they have everything you could ask for. The quality of their work speaks for itself—flawless application, long-lasting results, and a truly relaxing experience. I also love that they offer a wide range of colors and finishes, making it easy to find the perfect shade for any occasion. If you’re searching for the best nail salon in NYC, look no further—this is it! I can’t recommend them enough. I will definitely be returning for more pampering. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kathy K Very friendly staffs. I have been to several "Russian manicure" places and have stayed with one nail tech for a while who unexpectedly left. Im so happy I found LAV nail studios - they are clean, neat, nice and do their best job Zoia did such an amazing job with my nails. She took enough time to remove the hard gel I had (did not feel any heat!), remove/clean all cuticles. I have never had anyone paying such an attention to details while applying the polish. I had the silky cateye done and I am in love!!! My nails look so clean and polished. Will definitely go back.

Ирина Бастырева I want to share my amazing experience with this nail studio! After struggling with a nail issue on my toes for over two years, I finally found relief thanks to Olga. In just three sessions, she completely restored my nails and gave me confidence again. The studio itself is so cozy and welcoming, with top-notch service that makes you feel truly cared for. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for expert care and a relaxing atmosphere!

Olga Kosheleva I had amazing experience at this nail salon! The staff were incredibly professional, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing. The quality of the manicure was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Natalia Vodnik The best manicure and pedicure experience! The salon is spotless, and the staff is incredibly polite and professional. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and even offered coffee and snacks—a lovely touch! Everything ran smoothly, with no delays. My appointment started right on time, and I loved that they scheduled my manicure and pedicure simultaneously. I was all done in just 2.5 hours! My nails look absolutely flawless. Despite having a very sensitive cuticle, nail artists were so gentle and precise—no pain at all. I couldn’t be happier with the results and will definitely be returning ❤️

Jasmine Laguerre Jenny was Amazing. She didnt cut me or hurt me in anyway and she is so kind. I lived in Manhattan for two years now and havent had a good experience in other nail salons, But at 109 Nails they give you what u ask for and do a great job.

Emma Grover Oh my gosh, Joanna gave me the most gorgeous holiday nails!!! And you have to understand, I brought her a terrible canvas to work with - bitten nails and my cuticles were a wreck - and she did such an amazing job! They are EXACTLY how I wanted them! (The picture doesn’t really do them justice - they’re much sparklier!) (Editing to add a photo of the beautiful snowflake nails Joanna did for me next! They’re utterly gorgeous - this photo is after a WEEK and they still look this good!)

Catherine Vuong Can’t recommend this place enough. I had Wendy do these amazing gel nails for me with the cat-eye design which required careful attention with a magnet for the shiny effect. The ladies at the salon are so sweet and simultaneously quick and detailed with their services. Thank you!

Sarah Hwang Jenny did a beautiful job for me and my friend - would definitely recommend anyone who wants to get their nails done to come here! ❤️

Falyne Pena Jenny did a beautiful job on my nails. I brought my daughter too. Wendy did my pedicure and Ruth did my daughters nails beautiful too.

jenny zhou Love love love shorena! She is so talented and professional and her work speaks for itself. I work with my hands a lot and they touch water a lot but the nails never lift or show signs of wear. I get many compliments on them and I love showing them off! The studio is really clean and comfy so I can just come in and unwind.

Jen K This nail salon is an absolute gem, and I can confidently say that she is the best nail technician I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Among all the Korean, Chinese, Hong Kong, and Russian professionals I’ve experienced, her skill, attention to detail, and artistry are truly unmatched. Yes, the services may be on the pricier side, but the level of perfection and care she delivers is worth every penny. She is a true artist, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Erica L Shorena is an amazing nail master with an aesthetic eye and impressive technical execution. Since seeing her for the first time a year and a half ago, I have gone from getting my nails done professionally once every couple years to getting them done once every four weeks (although Shorena does such a good job that they once lasted me 8 weeks without breaking or lifting). I always look forward to my appointment with her and I always leave with two handfuls to enjoy until the next refresh!

Helen Raines Shorena is always detail oriented and always perfects my nails. I have gone to her for over a year and my nails and nail beds have never been stronger or last this long between appointments (6+ weeks at times) I highly recommend for the best manicure in the city!

Samyra N Dyall Alina and Nura are very professional and nice. I have been twice now and both of them have been very consistent in the quality of work. My nails have never been longer and healthier highly recommend if tired of getting acrylic nails will be coming here again and again!

Rise Fuentes Naur is a nail Goddess! They are the best, clean and fun! I even won a gift! Cuticle oil!! I can’t wait till my next appointment and I got my toes done too.

Keena Carulla Best manicure I’ve ever had! I’ve been searching for a place to get a Russian manicure and came across this place. So happy with my nails and the service. Tanya did a fantastic job with my nails and Nura also did an excellent job with my pedicure. Highly recommend!

Jess DeLoor Nail is a gem! I recently had the pleasure of getting a Russian manicure by Nura, who was not only experienced but also very sweet and attentive. I had the nails on my left hand bitten down to ugly little stubs; not only did she clean up the mess of hangnails and dry cuticles, but also skillfully used dual forms to build hard gel extensions to match the length of the natural nails on my right hand. The designs and extensions she did were exactly what I wanted, and the final result was stunning. (The before and after pics speak for themselves.) The space itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend Nura and DeLoor Nail for anyone looking for a top-notch Russian manicure experience. Ill definitely be a returning customer!

Karitas Haynes This was my first time at Deloor Nails, Tania did my nails. She made sure to put extra effort into my nails as well as pay attention to detail. My nails came out beautiful and I look forward to coming back. I also appreciate the fact that they offer tea and coffee to customers who are getting their nails done!

Donika Zejneli They do an immaculate job on the Japanese Gel. My nails have never been healthier and stronger. The gel pedicure is relaxing and precise. I love that they do paraffin on the heels and give you a nice massage after. They pay attention to detail here and clean up your nails well. Very pleased and will definitely be coming back.

Orit Shatz I had a great experience here! I got dip powder in the shade 126 with Erica who did an amazing job! She took her time, paid close attention to detail and she was so gentle on the nails. Everyone here was so friendly and it was a calm clean atmosphere. Usually wherever I go they’re so rude and impatient but not here!

Deepika Nagliya The service was good but the quality of gel nails was really really bad. It started chipping off in 3-4 days. When I got my nails done the they told me to come back in 10 days when it chips off but I was out of of town and went there after I got back but she refused to redo the chipped off ones bc she said its 13 days now. Im really disappointed because I feel like I paid so much and wasted money. Gel nails usually last atleast 3 weeks but this lasted like 3-4 days.

Persia Shokoohi I have just moved to the area, about 2 blocks from this location. My husband and I arrived last Monday at 3:30 pm or so. He received a gel mani/Pedi. His Pedi included matte polish. I received a gel Pedi, with your standard gel paint. And a Gel X fill in with one nail needing replacement. Pedis took approximately an hour and were, per the only options presented to us on the menu, about $70-$80 tax at the lowest expense tier. Fine. Its NYC. After the pedis, we are ushered to the normal spots where your standard hands business goes down. It is approximately 4:30. I already had a brand new Gel X nail set in place that was beautifully done at a reasonably priced nail salon in the Mayfair area of London. Near Four Seasons Park Lane. My nails had grown a small amount but not the dangerously long amount I typically gamble with waiting to address. Look at my review history. it is important for me to draw your attention to a few things: A) I shared the slam dunk review from my first time at Hyde Park Nails in Tampa, with photo evidence. I became a devoted client from that time until my recent move to NYC. In that first review, you can see the perfect pointy nails I received with only words and no photo as a reference point for the experienced nail artist who just "got it." B) I take the time to only write reviews for places that have been exceptional. Im not sure Ive even rated any place below 4 stars. I do not have a record of only doing reviews because Im a jerk or I am unaware that even the best professionals might be having a rough day. C) While my reviews are statistically positive, theyre never for a business I may have a personal relationship in some way. I aim for honesty and objectivity about the business. I know I might consider whats pricey may not be pricey to others or more maybe expensive to most just based off of economic statistics. Ive been honest and frank. Im realistic and the response from businesses and Google users has been positive. All this back story is important to me, in establishing that Im not inclined to write mean reviews out of spite. So heres where Im giving sincere warning to other women, particularly those who have limited free time, time-sensitive professional, domestic, or social demands. Who are thoughtful about their spending but comfortable paying a premium for high quality service or work product that serves their needs. So when this salon had an entire visual chart with nail shapes on the walls so clients could actually point to them when requesting the specifics of what they want from their nail tech, I immediately went to the wholly dead on graphic design of a fingernail that is the spitting image of my nails I posted in my Hyde Park Nails Google review. I repeatedly point to the precise image on the SALON PROVIDED VISUAL MENU to reinforce the shape of nail I am paying through the nose for. Well. Lets just say, she took 2.5 hours to do a FILL IN and one single nail replacement and heres what I got out of the dumpster fire: She spent over an hour just filing a trimmed but square shaped set of nails into a sad and not at all finely pointed tip. Instead of clipping each side of the tips from an angle and refining from there. She cut me to bleeding 4 times. After that hr, I asked how much longer? Surely, we are at the paint point? I say 20-30 min, right? She nervously says no no 40 min. 1 hr later, she isnt done, nails look like trash, Im late, and this is what and the photos are what I got. I called to complain and ask for a refund only those Gel X nails. Im leaving in the morning for a business trip and will have to somehow get the nails fixed because I am shaking a lot of hands and expected to be meticulous about detail in my role. I was offered a $30 credit to use there. Thats less than the time/$ I have to spend getting it fixed, not to mention why TF would I go back there? And then the manager made me send her photo proof if I want a refund for just Gel X while Im on said business trip. Ok, I did it. NO RESPONSE.

Esther Han I trust them with my nails! Been coming to this specific QQ location for the past three times and have loved my nails more and more each time. Ive gotten cateye gel nails and gel x extensions with different technicians and all of them did a phenomenal job. I had gone to a different QQ location for extensions and had to come here two days later to get them redone. Ill 100% be coming here again.

Thu Anh Ly I am so grateful to have found such a passionate and talented nail tech. Ashmita is the real deal! She took the time to listen to my vision and took my nail game to a whole new level. Her meticulous and impeccable work reflects genuine skill, and she surpassed all my expectations. Ashmita is a true artist, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an exceptional nail art experience. I will definitely be coming back here. Do yourself a favor and book with her - you won’t regret it!

Konica Amin Ashmita is so talented, professional, and welcoming! I’m so grateful to have found her after constantly searching for salons. She did my engagement nails and it was exactly what i wanted and even more beautiful. She’s patient and cares about her clients which makes her stand out than the rest of nyc. Can’t wait to come back!

Joanne Brown Ashamita is the best nail artist in New York. Yes. Ive tried others. Ashamita is highly skilled, creative, and very personable. She is a good listener and detail orientated- both hallmarks of an excellent nail artist. I have been entrusting ashamita with my nails since 2020 for monthly nail art. She was recommended by a youtuber I was following who is her client as well. Ashamita revived my nails with her IBX nail treatment. She is a nail GODDESS! Her precision, skill, and attention to detail truly shows after my nails are finished. Do you want the best care and art for your nails? Make an appointment with Ashamita.She cares for my nails as though it were her own. My nails look amazing and they feel amazing after shes done with them. Her advice for my nails are top notch, and I feel as though she truly cares for my nails. She learns her own nail techniques and creates her own art designs. The creativity in her designs are to die for.. if you dont know what nail art to decide on, ashamita always comes to the rescue with the best ideas. She is extremely welcoming, offering tea and water upon arrival. Her salon has the cutest decor, great music, and clean equipment. Get your nails cute and happy with Ashamita!

Deirdre Leong Ashmita is amazing! She is such a talented artist and so lovely. This was my first time ever getting nail art and I am obsessed with my nails! Can’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be coming back!

Monica Lee The best of the best. Ashmita has delivered on every dream I’ve ever had for nail art. She’s up to date on trends and innovations out there and never disappoints. Recently got an airbrushed lilac spring look for my nails and I can’t stop staring at them. Thank you always Ashmita ♥️

Chelsea Hall I paid $186 for these gel extensions including tip. The price when I booked was HALF the price and at the end the owner “surprised” me with that number, I asked her to explain it and she tried to shower me with compliments. I am not wealthy, this was a huge chunk of my paycheck, and just because I went in wearing my nice work clothes does not give you the right to rip someone off. Also, I went there two weeks ago for a gel set and one of the nails already popped off two weeks in- that’s why I went back. (Also, the thumb on the right hand of this set is crooked!) I got my nails done to help me feel confident visiting my dad who has leukemia. The lady who runs this place should be ashamed. EDIT: the owner has responded as you can see below. My extensions were the same length as the ones I purchased the first time, which she told me were short. At no point during the appointment did she tell me I was going to be upcharged or charged differently than what I booked. On their website it says the soak off is included, which she clearly admitted to charging me for below. I will be reporting this business. Also, nowhere in my review did I mention my cuticles. And yes, the owner is correct for noting I have eczema. I am in no way blaming this business for me having eczema. The fact that the service took so long is because my nail technician was taking her time, shes clearly new at her job, which I dont fault her for. But as a client I should not be penalized for how slow the tech is. The owner also didnt ask me if I wanted to have the nails filled in, as she mentioned below-- I asked the tech for that, then the owner told me that I had to get a new set. Because I was naive, I believed her.

Naomi R. The Nail salon was very pretty, clean, and the service was so good! I was so happy to see they were open till late. They offered me water or tea upon arrival & even offered to work on my manicure & pedicure at the same time to get done faster. They took their time to make sure I was pleased with everything and they were so kind! The price was fair for the kind of service I received. They also show you the price in the beginning so you know what you are paying for. I recommend!

Dustin Soper When I’m in town I have my favorite nail salon on the Upper West Side - but not anymore. I had an incredible experience tonight at Manhattan nails. Their attention to detail is unlike any salon I’ve been to, and Roxana is a gem. She is very thoughtful and very attentive to her guests. The atmosphere is that of a living room, sitting around making connections, like a family. I am glad that they stay open late. That makes it easier to get more things done after a long day. Thank you, Roxana, and all for a great night.

Stephanie Preshlock These ladies were super sweet and attentive. My nail tech was very good! She took off about 40% of my acrylic and put on gel overlay. They turned out beautiful!

Chine I. Was charged $67 for a regular manicure and it didn’t even last 12 hours. I had to get my nails done for work so now I’ll have to go get them redone elsewhere which is incredibly frustrating. Very disappointed. The person at the desk told me to not use hot water on my hands for 2 hours after the manicure, so I avoided hot water for 3 full hours and still woke up to see my nails chipping and lifting. The salon was very clean which I appreciated but unfortunately I will not be coming back

Christina Francis Mansour Anna has been doing my nails for years, and she’s amazing! She’s professional, detail-oriented, and her workspace is always spotless. Whether I want a simple look or something more intricate, she always exceeds my expectations. Highly recommend!

Ekaterina Koulakova I’ve been coming to Anna for gel manicures for the past 3 months and she consistently creates flawless results. She takes meticulous care to ensure my nails look perfect every time. Even after three weeks, my nails remain in great condition, but I still visit regularly to manage cuticle growth. I’ve struggled with a bad habit of biting my nails, but Anna’s strong gel overlays have kept my nails intact. Additionally, despite using hard gel, the nails come out with a natural and comfortable thickness, unlike other places where I’ve felt like I was wearing thick plastic on my fingertips. Anna is also skilled at nail reconstruction. For instance, in the nude-nail photo, three of the nails were created using gel nail forms, and they look so natural that no one can tell the difference. Thanks Anna!!

Julia Dawson Anna is BEYOND the best! Not only does she do the most intricate and beautiful manicures, but she is patient and kind in the process. I look forward to my time with Anna and I always leave happier and lighter than when I left. Thank you Anna for your amazing work. My nails have transformed since coming to you.

Kadejah Baptiste 10/10 experience! Anna was very professional and my nails came out exactly the way I wanted. The space was very clean and welcoming and the view from her studio is so pretty. I’ll be back and I def recommend Anna!

Loretta Amazing from the moment I stepped in they offered me water. Super accommodating and welcoming and friendly personalities . Great service I can’t wait to come back, and highly recommend! And my nails came out amazing

Kiran Rijhsinghani A great find! I came here today for a pedicure. I did not have an appointment and they were very kind to see me right away. The service was wonderful! Very friendly and warm place. I very much enjoyed my pedicure and the 10 minute massage I added. My toes look and feel great! I am so happy to have found this warm and cute place

Leanne Smith Sunny is so lovely! I walked by and they took me right away. I love my nails. She did a great job

Ashley DiMatteo I am really particular about how I like my manicures and am always anxious to try a new place. I booked a Gel x mani with Sunny and she did a wonderful job. With gel removal + the gel z service, I was there for about an hour and it was $95 total. She was detail-oriented while shaping the nails and helped me get the neutral pink shade I was looking for just right!

Aarin K I had an amazing experience at Elite Nails Spa! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a relaxing atmosphere. The salon was spotless and well-organized, which immediately put me at ease. My nail technician, Louis, was incredibly skilled and attentive. He took the time to understand my preferences and delivered a flawless manicure and pedicure. The attention to detail was impressive, and I loved the finishing touches. The massage chair during the pedicure was heavenly, and the lotions and oils used were luxurious and nourishing. I felt pampered and indulged throughout the entire experience. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high-quality service and products used. Ill definitely be back and would highly recommend Elite Nails Spa (and Louis!) to anyone seeking exceptional nail care. Five stars isnt enough – Id give them ten stars if I could!

Julie Case I have been going to Say-It Nails for over a year now and I will never go to another nail salon again. My nails used to be brittle and short. Now, after going to Say-It Nails, they are so healthy, strong and long. I get so many compliments and everyone is always shocked when I say they are my real nails! I’m always impressed by how long they last and how great they look even after 4-6 weeks. Irem, Jane and the rest of the staff are amazing and very thorough. The space is very clean and the sunscreen is a nice touch. 10/10 experience!

Samantha S My absolute FAVORITE place to get my nails done! Started to get European style manicures about a year ago and havent turned back since. Say-it nails is the BEST!! clean & friendly environment make the entire experience perfect! and my nails last weeks!!! Highly recommend!

Joselyn Mujica A long overdue review! I’ve been going to Say-It every 3-5 weeks since they opened! Not your typical nail salon and not your typical manicure. At a basic level, a signature manicure is worlds beyond your typical manicure and if you’re looking for art or extensions, they are the best!

ng My favorite time of the month is when I have an appointment with Ayza at Say it Nails!! Have been going in since last summer and they never disappoint! I have been receiving compliments a lot, especially when we do a chrome design. Attention to detail is great and all of the technicians are so talented. Highly recommended!!!! (All pictures attached are my nails done by Ayza :))

Kimberly A Always beautiful and precise! I love coming here to get my nails done! Very clean, amazing service. Definitely recommend! Jane does my nails and I always love it every time. Everyone is so skilled and talented.

nastassia415 RAUS Nail Studio has quickly become my #1 spot for nail services. The atmosphere is serene and super clean so much so that I often doze off during my appointment. The staff is professional and on time!! They are also very knowledgeable about current trends designs and techniques. My nails are exquisite to the point where Ive become accustomed to getting compliments. My gel set lasts for 3-4 weeks and the manicurists care not only for your nails but also your hands. Five stars truly arent enough.

Aigulya Zholdasbek This is the best manicure in city! I’m so glad I found a studio that does a proper Russian manicure — precise, long-lasting, and with a perfect shape. I especially want to highlight Anna, the technician: she is a true professional. She’s attentive to details. The atmosphere in the studio is cozy, and the quality of the work is top-notch. I highly recommend it, especially if you’re looking for the perfect Russian manicure!

Rowe Lee Karsic Second time in Raus and I’m absolutely satisfied and happy looking at my beautiful nails. Thanks to Ana she did a wonderful jobs on my nails.

Olga This is the best nail studio I’ve ever been to! The staff is professional and friendly, and they truly care about their clients. The technician was meticulous and did an amazing job on my manicure. I was really impressed with the quality of the materials and the attention to detail. I left completely satisfied and will definitely be coming back. Thank you for a wonderful experience

Leslie Blanco Had been looking for a Russian Manicure I could count on and Raus was a great choice. Their space was clean, calm, and comfortable. My nail tech was patient with my many hangnails from lifting weights and using sports chalk that dries my hands out all the time. My nails looked so picturesque and have not shown any signs of lifting or weak areas for chipping.
