Nail salon 21 Reviews in Manhattan, NY

Ilanna Keyslay I have been looking for a nail salon after recently moving to the area, and tried a couple but no places that I loved for the price they were charging. I tried sunshine nails after reading mostly good reviews and I love the way my gel x came out. $70 for soak off of the old ones + new full set with gel polish. Shaping was great, pricing was reasonable (and competitive given what others in the area charge), it was easy to book online, and they guarantee free nail fix if you have any chips or issues within 7 days of service. This will be my new regular spot from now on. I saw Dan for this service

Casey Tayler PHENOMENAL. A friend recommended to me after I was going to GlossLab and paying a good chunk more for them to fall off in sometimes LESS than two weeks (I do Gel X Extensions) After one visit I was hooked. These nails are WELL DONE. They literally do not break or chip. I very rarely will commute for something that I can do in my neighborhood but I come from the West Village to Tribe for them because the service is THAT good 10/10 :)

Jacqueline Soriano I’ve been coming here for months and I’m happy with their service every time! It’s also affordable. The staff are really sweet and helpful. If I’m not getting the gel x, it’s powder dip!

Camila Bolivar Amazing service, great attention to the costumer constantly asking you if you are okay with the process and really reasonable price for it to be located in manhattan. Unfortunately didn’t get the name of the lady that attended me but everyone is very welcoming!! Prices differ depending with what you are paying, cash being the cheapest and card the most expensive due to taxes.

Viktorija Grillo I recently moved back to the UWS and am not so impressed with the nail salons up here but luckily I found Angel Nail Spa!! I called to inquire about a pedicure and was able to get one the same day! This adorable, small salon is clean and well kept. I was impressed with the perfect amount of space for the pedicure chairs versus the manicure stations. Only a few people can be serviced at a time so it is truly a relaxing environment. No cell phone usage is a huge plus for me! Very reasonable prices within the range you’d expect. My pedicure was beyond relaxing and came out flawless! The woman really took her time and cleaned my nails up nicely. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid and clean spot.

Alexandria Bernardin I got tips for my first time the other day and the ladies at Angel Nail Spa took such care to make sure my manicure was perfect and that I was comfortable with the length. I brought in a picture of what I wanted on my nails and Amy did such a lovely job making sure it was exactly right. I will be going back to this nail spa again soon!!

Laura Nupponen I used to like this place and have referred friends and family here. The owner is always so nice, but I haven’t seen her there the last few times I’ve gone, and I can’t go often because I don’t have babysitting-so it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her. I got a regular pedi, gel mani last week and the gel polish was supposed to match the regular polish-OPI #100. The pedi was good, purple/magenta color, but the gel mani was not. The technician took forever and the polish was defective-it was a pale pink color after 3 coats. She even called over another technician to look at it, although they were speaking in another language so I don’t know what they said. She asked if I wanted another coat, but I was already late for my babysitter so I had to go. The color was pink, but as the days went on, it morphed into a pink ring around the outside and no color in the middle. It’s the weirdest thing and definitely defective. I went back to have it fixed in the evening yesterday. I started to show my nails to the tech closest to the door and she started yelling at me before I could even finish-“why do you come now? It’s busy now!” And I said “because now is when I have babysitting” and she continued yelling at me so I left. I’m not going back. I’ve been a loyal customer of theirs for over 9 years but I’m done with that place.I’ve also had issues trying to use my “punchy card” discount when I’ve gotten 10 punches or tried to combine cards. But I liked the owner and generally had ok experiences there. But I don’t see the owner anymore, and some of the staff need lessons in customer service to say the least. I’m never going back.

Oshin Blue Today I went to get my mani and pedi. I was welcomed by everyone. But as I was doing my pedicure in the nail salon. My nail on my toe chipped off. Fine, the lady doing my toes had no idea what she was doing. So they had to call someone else over to do them. My toes was painted with nail polish so cheap she had to coat them three times. My toes were not properly cleaned and prepped like how I am use to. Anyways moving along to getting my nails done. As I was getting my nails. I saw my nail tech tip my nails into powder instead of dipped the brush and painting. All is well because nails actually came out decent. So I’m ready to pay for my nail and toes. I am on a very important call. So I pulled out all my cash ready to pay for everything. I saw this lady change the price right in front of me. Keep mind ladies i asked for a short French tip and white toes. Of course both had gel. In addition, I need a fake nail on my toe. This lady proceed to charge my $130. I am not sure how that’s possible considering they $85 for both gel mani and pedis written on their board. She proceeded screamed “no” at me for not leaving a tip and making a complete fool of herself. They are money hungry and lazy. I will not be returning. I will save money and get press ons for now. Not worth theses overpriced and overhyped nail salons. Your not owed a tip. You were paid for service. If the customer wishes to not tip. You can’t throw temper tantrum. Learn to be professional.

Susana Bulnes Amazing experience! They did a perfect job on the nails and everyone was super kind. Would definitely recommend!

Lisi I have gone to Spring Nail Beauty Spa for over ten years for all my mani/pedis and I have consistently been happy here. I get the most perfect thin French manicure (and pedicure!) and have been pleased with all the wonderful staff here. It’s rare, but if anything happens to my nails post visit, the owner is quick to respond and happy to correct. 10/10 recommend!

Emily Chen I really hate to be that person to leave a scathing review, but I really did get the worst gel manicure of my life here. I asked the nail tech to not cut too much of my cuticles and literally like one second later she cut my cuticle and it bled. The gel mani then was suspiciously quick, and turns out it was probably done too fast because my nails started chipping and peeling within days. I’ve never had gel that chipped/peeled before at least the two week mark. The photos I attached are from within *six* days of my manicure. I’m not even sure what they used can quality as gel? The prices are low but in this case unfortunately I think you get what you pay for…

LEON CHEN This place was absolute garbage. Daughter and I walked by and decided to stop in to get her a mani and pedi. She asked me to get a mani with her so I did. They told me $30 for her and $15 for me. The lady did a decent job with daughter. My complaint is with my manicure, which lasted a whole 10 mins and looked terrible (ridges still visible). She told me afterwards that it would cost an extra $5 to buff out, which I assumed was part of the process?? I felt committed at that point so I just said yes. She took another 3 mins to buff and it still ended up looking like crap (see photo). Im serious when I say that my 8 yr old daughter has done a better job just messing around. I asked around afterwards and was told I definitely got ripped off. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the disappointment.

Abigail Rose Crowell I have been coming here for almost 6 months. I get acrylic over my natural nail and gel and it cost about 75. Amy is the best, she always does an amazing job!

Patricia Senge I’ve been coming here to get my manicure for a few months now, they’re efficient, quick, walk in is possible and I love the little 5min massage while I wait for the nails to dry!

Natalie M I wanted to wait to see how my nails held up before writing a review. I got these done over 3 weeks ago, and they still look great, just grown out a little. There is no lifting or chipping of nails. For $95, im happy to know I could stretch every set to 4 weeks for the price. My nail tech was very attentive to details and took her time shaping my nails perfectly.

Dede I didn’t realize “No Nail” Salon meant that I would ultimately end up with no nails! This salon lacks integrity and respect for its customers, unfortunately. They are greedy for money rather than valuing the support of their customers. I was initially so excited to visit this salon! I was visiting NY from CT, only for the wedding over the weekend. I ended up paying $202 for a gel mani and basic pedicure ($38) on Friday. I gave a $20 tip, even though I didn’t get the complimentary shoulder massage I noticed others getting. On Sunday night, to my disappointment, while reaching into my backpack for a new outfit my nail popped right off! This is when I noticed the two adjacent fingernails were lifting and would be ready to come off at any moment. I was not upset by this, only surprised. I decided to return to the salon before I had to travel back to CT. When I described the issue to the store owner, she offered to redo my nails, but I let her know I was on a time crunch and didn’t have the space to do that. I let her know I would need a refund for the manicure since I saw other nails coming up and would need to deal with that throughout the week. She initially offered to only refund $50 out of the $220 total I paid. I let her know that the pedicure was fine but that I would not be able to walk around with one hand undone, to which she responded I should! I had told her I was a dentist and needed to travel so I could get back in time for work, to which she responded that someone needs to pay for the time so I should understand. I let her know that in my line of work if my product fails I have to eat the cost for the patient. Throughout this interaction she kept interrupting and yelling at me, to which I said “That’s okay, since you keep interrupting me, I will let you speak instead.” She also let me know that it was my fault that I didn’t have the time to have them redone in NY. She was extremely rude and loud, constantly speaking over me. By the end of the conversation I let her know I felt extremely disrespected. I would highly HIGHLY recommended going to a different nail salon. Save your time and a LOT OF MONEY. UPDATE: It’s now the Tuesday after my appointment on Friday and another nail has come off! GO TO A DIFFERENT SALON

Kysha Marie Altura I just walked into No Nail Salon today and was greeted and sat down right away. Angel was so sweet and was very meticulous with my gel x extensions. It was my first time getting these extensions and she made me fall in love with my nails. I would definitely recommend this salon ☺️ …. The girlies did it again!! Amazing work with my nails as usual. The workers are so kind and patient. I’m always amazed and happy with their care and attentiveness with my nails. ❤️

Cosima Kymissis Let me start off by saying that my nail tech was amazing! He was so meticulous and took his time which I really appreciated. My issue was that the receptionist was honestly pretty rude and I felt like a burden to her. She was sleeping on the couch when I walked in and just gave off an odd vibe. Not the most polite either, but everyone has off days so who knows!

Kristen Brown absolutely splendid! visiting the city for the week and used a broken nail as an excuse to treat myself. booking was quick and simple, day of updates about timing changes(if any) were useful, hospitality and ambience was lovely, and of course the precision and care that went into the manicure was immaculate. all the staff were helpful and kind and i could tell from my one appointment that they all enjoyed working in each others company. all in all, a fabulous experience and i would definitely recommend :)

Jacob Bressers I had the pleasure of getting a Signature Russian manicure with Viki, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! Her attention to detail is unmatched — every single nail was shaped and polished to perfection. She took the time to ensure my cuticles were flawless and my nails look stunning and healthy. The atmosphere was so relaxing, and Viki’s professionalism and skill made the experience even better. I’ve received so many compliments already and can’t wait to book with her again. Highly recommend Viki for anyone looking for the best manicure experience!

Hiliana A I would recommend Russian Nails to everyone! I’ve gone a few time now and have had a wonderful experience each time. I even go with my friends and they accommodate us to be able to sit together! They also give me great nail advice. My nails used to break on the sides until I switched nail shapes to soft square and it helped so much!

Natalya Makarova Excellent service, wonderful atmosphere, high-quality materials! I was in the salon for the first time, and I will definitely come back! I liked everything - from the preliminary appointment and urgent rescheduling at my request to the most attentive attitude to my wishes and a high-quality materials &manicure. I highly recommend this salon. The masters are very professional and friendly, my nails feel great after the manicure and I get a lot of compliments from friends

Madeline Ventresca I am not kidding when I say that I tell everyone I know about Russian Nails NYC. I live a very active lifestyle, I play instruments, I work with my hands. I never thought I would be able to have really nice nails. Russian Nails changed that completely. I have never felt so confident in the way my hands look. Seeing Nastya every month is a joy and a blessing. We always have fun together and she is a master nail artist capable of a perfect manicure. I get countless compliments from complete strangers on how incredibly perfect my nails are, even three or four weeks after my appointment. And I always tell them, with confidence, to go to Russian Nails NYC!

Lena Rusu As a regular customer, I have always appreciated the quality of service provided by the team. Recently, I booked a Russian manicure appointment at 6 PM, and while the technician, Ksenia, was friendly, I felt that the service was rushed due to the timing. As a result, the attention to detail that I usually expect was not fully met. Although the initial look of my manicure was appealing, I left the salon for my $135 investment with reservations. Unfortunately, just two days later, I noticed that the gel color had chipped. This was disappointing, especially given the premium price for the service and my anticipation of a long-lasting manicure. When I expressed my concerns to the salon management, they responded professionally and offered a solution. They invited me to return after my vacation, providing a $20 discount on my next visit, with the HOPE that the next manicure would hold up better. I will not be returning back here, and their approach to my feedback has been called "professional quality". Attaching photos of the "Well done job by technician Ksenia".

Hiba Yosopov I got a Russian manicure done with Irina and had a great experience :) First, shes super helpful and professional when it came to picking out the nail shape and color. Second, she gave me options on what we can do with my broken nails and also what I should do/not do for future when it comes to the length of my nails. Third, She worked so meticulously and paid attention to every detail, I am extremely happy with how my nails turned out, and I cant wait to be back in a few weeks.

Laura Von der Heyde In an attempt to grow out my nails, I went to Zori for their Russian gel manicure. It’s now been almost a year and I return about every 5 weeks - my nails have never been healthier. I’ve seen an array of technicians, each of which i have been impressed by their quality and professionalism. I highly recommend them.

Hali Riley EDIT: Adding a text from the salon. They have offered to make it right. I am too much of an anxious person to return though I appreciate their offer. It seems they generally do beautiful work, it just wasnt my experience. Very professional. Thank you. --- My first and probably last Russian manicure. Its my birthday and I wanted to treat myself. The polish didnt even have enough coats to cover the whites of my nails and as you can see theres still dirt under them. Very disappointed.

naomikateri I came here because I loved the instagram and I needed something special for a work gala where I am receiving an award. I arrived on time and showed the technician exactly what I was looking for (brown cat eye) and she sat me down and used a cat eye color completely different from what I showed. She also cut my fingers twice while filing my nails. I gave her a second option of French gloss and matte base with brown which she also did not seem to understand.. I ended up with matte brown nails, which is not at all what I was looking for, for the gala. after giving up on the manicure I asked for a matching dark brown (very basic color) on my toes which they did not have. I ended up leaving to find another salon to do the pedicure and fix the manicure.

Miriam Stoner Lisa gave me five star treatment during my SNS powder manicure session. The complimentary massage while my nails were drying really put the cherry on top. She made sure to buff and shine them to perfection. She chose a bold color I typically would not have and it perfectly complements my hair and skin tone. Cannot wait to come back to enjoy this experience again.

Daisy Plaza Disappointed with the visit. Sat there for over two hours for dip powder nails. $115 and if I didn’t leave after over 2 hours I still would’ve been there. The 1st lady had no clue what acrylic nails were. The second lady 2 hours and 15 minutes in and still not done. Wanted to put lotion on my hands without even the hot towel clean or wash of hands. Absolutely disgusting. What a waste of time and money. Basic nails no designs or anything and the worst job I’ve had. Would’ve gave no stars but you can’t post without atleast one.

Asanti Diaz I can see why they have such great reviews. The hospitality was beyond. I paid $54 for a pedicure and soak off. The young lady Xylia who was doing my nails was super attentive to detail and I did let her know my nails do have onycholysis and she was able to help me remove and restore my nails so my beds werent so weak.

tom wang Had a wonderful spa pedicure here! The atmosphere was so relaxing, and the service was excellent. The prices were affordable, and the staff—especially the boss—was super friendly. I’ll definitely coming back!

Xiuyan Ni I went with my friend. Environment looks good. I felt very peaceful and enjoyable when I walked in. The staff was very nice. Amy was very impressed on me. She was very friendly and super attentive on my nails. I will came back.

M. Y The salon was clean and beautiful decorated. The staff were very attentive to my nails. I enjoyed the whole process. Will come back.

Spa zone Astoria A very nice salon. I went for plain pedicure. Everything was good. Relaxed environment and friendly staff. Price was affordable. Will go next time.

Shifu Ding I did a manicure last week. I dont need my nails look too fancy. just being clean and shinning is enough for me. I did some backyards things and they really make them look very clean. Im very happy with their service.

Angie gomez I have been going to AKIKO for a while now and it’s 100% worth it the work and the effort that goes into the nail art is truly amazing. The staff is super friendly and are very attentive with the service given to costumers. My nails have never been stronger after getting extensions, and sets have never been more durable after a month like the ones I’ve gotten at AKIKO. I truly recommend this place it’s amazing!!!

Olivia Zadkovic AKIKO is the best quality you can find for the price. The salon standards are very high and I would trust any artist there for a perfect manicure. Can easily go three weeks in between visits and minus the grow out it always looks the same as the day I got them done. I’ll never go anywhere else!

Carolyn Zhong I’ve been going to Gianni monthly for over a year and a half now and every single time my nails come out perfectly! The salon is clean and comfortable, and the receptionists are always super friendly and helpful with scheduling or rescheduling appointments. Gianni always matches my inspo pics exactly, and takes her time to clean and prep my nails - which is probably why my nails can last up to 5-6 weeks without chipping! I always get compliments on my nails from friends, coworkers, and strangers everywhere I go and have referred all of them to Akiko!

Jean Tinnelly Lisa did s lovely job. I got the special design and she recommended a solid color for tge other nails. I wanted to leave a review because I was nervous to go seeing the other reviews. Lisa was professional and quick. She got so close to the nail bed because it is hard gel so the manicure has a really full look to it.

Vicka Matsuka It’s funny how their website states how they are so “customer oriented, everything is about customer’s satisfaction”… well in my opinion best customer care is when the service is high quality and wastes the least amount of the customer’s precious time. You can see how my pedicure looked after going to this salon. The first set of photos is made in the salon RIGHT AFTER the service, the second set - at home several hours later…. First of all your regular polish is obviously very low quality, I’m not blaming the technician, it’s not her fault, the polish is terrible. But what happened is that they had only one pedicure technician on a fully booked Sunday and for some reason only she could fix my nail polish but she was already busy with the next client. I believe that when the customer service is truly good, ANY technician can step up and fix the problem, but no, they told me to wait till my technician is free which is a waste of my time and I couldn’t just sit and wait after already being at the salon for 2.5 hours. Respect your client’s time. They did offer me to come any day in the next 7 days to change the polish but that’s even a bigger waste of my time!! Plus I was leaving for vacation the next day. So yes I went to my vacation with these nails. My manicure looks pretty good however the technician was a bit too rough with the machines and her station was pretty filthy. Never coming back to this place. 120$ for what you see in the photos is pretty ridiculous.

Winattar Rawinantanadda Nina was great. It was beyond my expectations. The only thing I would love to recommend was the reception upstairs, no the front desk, was loud. I noticed it could be the only for nail salon in the back perhaps. But it would be wonderful if they can lower their voice for the spa vibe. Definitely will come back

Ana V Have been going to them for mani pedi and facials for quite some time, always on point. Also, scheduling an appointment is relatively easy, esp as their nail department is always busy, they always “squeeze “ me in.

Julie Yao Been coming here for a year now. Matsu never fails to give me some amazing nails! Literally every new set is my new favorite. All visits have been quick and relatively affordable (in comparison to other Japanese nails salons in Manhattan). Its definitely not a walk-in place, so make sure you make your appointments in advance.

Alexandra Sharp I hesitate to share this review because it’s already hard to book with Karina due to popular demand, but I won’t gate keep any longer. I travel from Brooklyn to this spa to see Karina regularly for facials. I also use her products; her skincare line is sold here. She knows exactly how to tailor her services based on what you need. Karina is absolutely fantastic, a true professional, and passionate about beauty! Thank you, Karina!

Christine Chuang Been going to this place for 3 months now. I really like it. Place is clean and all the ladies there are friendly. So far I’ve been very happy with their work!

NatAndSash LGNS I have been going to White Birch since they first opened. Everyone there is friendly and kind. If a gel manicure chips too soon, they happily fix it for you. I also highly recommend the full table massage!

P A I have been coming since they opened and have brought my mother, daughters and friends. My friends are now a regular and they bring their own daughters. The salon is very clean and everyone is very sweet. The service is always fantastic and i am always happy with the results.

Anna Roeloffs I’ve been to a lot of nail salons in the area and this is easily one of the value for cost. The ladies are so lovely and accommodating, I always love coming here! I’ve regret the few times I went elsewhere after discovering this place.

Victoria Therese Juni and Joy are the best. Finally, a spot on the upper west side that is CLEAN, quiet, and pays attention to detail. Have been coming here since they opened and theyve done the perfect job each time. Juni is so meticulous with gel manicures and it never chips or has brush strokes. Joy gave me the best pedicure with an amazing massage, which I dont feel like other nail salons in this area ever do, which I think is the best part. Im always in a rush and I love that Juni does my manicure while im getting my pedicure at the same time. Joy did such a good job at my foot massage that I even paid to get a chair massage while Juni finished my manicure. It was the same as going to a massage spa, but getting your nails done at the same time. I cant recommend this new nail salon enough. I wont go anywhere else now!

Olena Lazar I was a model in this beautiful place. They not only care about the client’s comfort and pleasure , but also professionally satisfy all the needs. Ira (the student) and Lola (the instructor ) worked in a great synergy to make my feet shine. My highest recommendations!!!!

Adria Alexander This is the absolute best manicure I have ever gotten! I’ve tried everything - gel, dip, gelx, etc. nothing has ever lasted me longer than 2 weeks. I can happily say that my russian manicures easily last 4-6 weeks - truly the best. I can’t emphasize how amazing this manicure is! Totally worth it.

Jade Kymani Excellent service! The technicians took their time, were meticulous, professional and provided fantastic work. LOVE! I would highly recommend! UPDATE: I’m surprised to see that only four days later two of my nails are starting to see splitting and lifting between the nails and the gel. I started to notice yesterday when my nails began snagging on various fabrics creating damage to my natural nail. It’s definitely disappointing considering the amount of time the technician spent on each nail and how much money I spent on the services (nearly $125 for each). I didn’t anticipate needing to visit the salon twice this week and the inconvenience is understandably frustrating. I’m a bit more skeptical now. UPDATE: 9/19/24 It has been a full week since my last visit to repair my gel manicure and the results have been lasting. They still look neat, clean and fresh. I’m thankful for the effort to make this right. Well done! I’d like to also add that my pedicure from two weeks ago is still going strong. Thanks again!

Lidia R The place is very neat and the staff is very sweet. On my first attempt, my pedicure looked great. I had it done at the same time with manicure. The mani did not turn out good at all (first picture after 5 days) but after my review I was contacted by the team and offered to book a revisit. I went back and a new technician did an excellent job (second picture). Exactly what one would expect getting Russian manicure for $80. I guess it all depends on the experience of the technician. Great customer service!

Nakia Jordan Lola is an amazing nail technician! She does a fantastic job with my Russian gel manicures and pedicures, always taking her time to ensure perfection. She is incredibly patient and attentive and if I ever have any concerns, she corrects them instantly without hesitation. The professionalism all around is top-notch, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxing. They go the extra mile to make clients feel comfortable, even offering beverages to enjoy during the service. If you’re looking for quality and care, I highly recommend booking with them!!

Hanna S. Ree Nail Spa is truly a hidden gem among the many nail salons around. The place is spotless, and their focus on cleanliness is clear, which I really appreciate. Everyone is skilled, professional, and always makes me feel welcome. I started as a walk-in but now book all my appointments by phone, which is super easy. Maggie is amazing—she’s transformed my short, damaged nails with such care. For Gel X and dip powder, Joey always delivers perfect results. I’ve also had great experiences with Lynn, Mari, and Ashley, they’re all incredibly talented. I always go to Mari for eyebrow waxing, and she is amazing. She is attentive and meticulous, ensuring every detail is perfect. I trust her completely because she always preserves the natural shape of my brows while enhancing them beautifully. If you’re looking for a nail salon that goes above and beyond, I highly recommend this one! If you pay with cash, you get 8% discount on the service!

Lisa Paradise Mia did an amazing job on both my spa pedi & my gel extension manicure. I showed her a picture from Google, and rather than fully copying it (which a lot of nail techs will do) she stayed true to the inspiration while making it her own. Also really funny & easy to work with. Would fully recommend the experience

Michaela This nail salon has very pleasant and friendly staff with an atmosphere that’s quiet and bright. I called ahead to ask if there was walk-in availability for a regular mani/pedi at a “rush hour” time (6:10pm) so I expected to hear I’d have to wait, but they told me to come in and I was seated right away. My technician Joey is lovely and gave me options for packages or regular a la carte service. I am very happy with my pedicure quality as I write this, and I anticipate that the manicure i am about to receive to look just as clean and pretty. My personal preference would be to see massage chairs rather than the plush seats here, but they are still very comfortable.

Whisper Blanchard I’ve been to this salon four times (different nail techs each time) and I don’t think I’ll go to a different salon ever again as long as I live in NYC. The staff are phenomenal.

Lysa Price Golden Nail on the Upper West Side is a gem! The salon is spotlessly clean, and they offer a wide array of color options to choose from. What impressed me the most was how efficiently they got me in and out without sacrificing quality. If youre looking for a fast and fabulous nail experience, look no further than Golden Nail!

Daniel Sherwood I am so disappointed, I spent $70 to look and feel worse than when I went in, and my fingers hurt. 0/10, would not recommend. I have never had a manicure or pedicure before, but decided to give it a try. I had no idea what to expect but asked for a "regular manicure and pedicure" because I didnt know any different. My nails were cut down until all the white was gone, fingers and toes, to the point the skin is tender. The remaining nails were uneven and jagged. When I went back in to ask what could be done they said "you should have told your manicurist what you wanted, we dont do refunds, there is nothing we can do for you" I will never be going to this business again and would warn anyone who isnt a regular customer to avoid this place.

Amy Tilleman Great for Aprés Nails! Easy to get an appointment. They take walk ins. I always enjoy my experience here!

Raziel Garia The experience was 5 stars up until the end ! Myself and my girl went for pedicures and the two lady’s we had were perfect and was even making jokes with us. For context they were Hispanic along with us, so for the most part we were all speaking spanish. I wanted to do a manicure because my girl was still drying her feet and after my cuticles were butchered with much blood I was told to pay before applying the clear coat. Which is uncommon, and with no protest I said sure even though it’s weird. Then I didn’t leave a tip because I wanted to tip in cash and the manager (Asain) harassed me essentially saying to give up my Venmo. I told the girls in Spanish I’ll stop by tomorrow and I assume because she didnt understand me she again she attacked me again and in the end saying I didn’t mean to get you upset. Seems to me payment and tips matter more to them than actually trying to finish up. There were also two other woman who were I the salon and they didn’t have to pay prior.

Nikhila Krishnan Dry clean and quiet ambiance

Sarah Khalil I have been a customer at Polished NYC for just over a year. Elina is my favorite technician to see. She is so talented, and has taken my nails from short and unhealthy to long and healthy. She is just the best! The girls at the front counter- Amalia and Vera- are also so sweet. Very friendly atmosphere and the most long lasting Russian manicures I’ve had done.

Lia Sporn Polished is the best ever. Ive been coming since June and I will never go anywhere else. My nails & cuticles have never been so healthy. I know all the girls are amazing, the desk staff are all sweet & accommodating. My nail tech is Bela, she is so patient & detailed as she works on my nails. Im very particular & she gets them just right every time.

Ragnar Everwood have had many Russian Manicures across quite a few states. I have also been coming to Polished NYC for about 6 months now, and I have to say, they are my favorite. It doesnt matter which tech you get, they will give you stellar service (although special shout out to Melania and Anastasia!!) The quality of care is unmatched. I always leave with a smile on my face with gorgeous nails. Simply cannot recommend them enough!

Vikki Rozakis I’ve been here twice so far and both manicures have been amazing! First was with Dzhika for my Christmas/new year set and second was with Anastasia for a fun geometric design. Both hard gel manicures looked amazing and held up excellently for over 2 weeks. Yes, it’s a bit pricey but your nails will never look better!

Juliette Boyajian First time getting a Russian manicure and I absolutely loved it!! Melania was so sweet and talented! She was patient and gave me advice on what would look best for my skin tone and nail shape. The service is truly amazing start to finish!! I got hard gel with a chrome design 4 weeks ago - no cracks or breakage (pics are before and after).

Meralys Gomez Peralta At first they were so good to me. I used to do gel and then switched to powder to see if it would last longer. I did my nails on February Wednesday 26 and by Sunday they were already chipped off by the corner. I still go back because its in my block lol. They do paint my toes nice

Shu Kit Impeccable service. My nail technician was patient with me when I couldn’t decide on my colours and even helped with choosing the colours. She was attentive to details and carefully chose the colours to ensure that my nails would turn out as closely to the picture I showed her. The price is also very reasonable

yuting Qiu The nail technician is so friendly and patient with me. She did a great job with my nails. Really recommend!!! The staffs are really sweet and nice too!

Gabrielle Fridman I came here because of the good reviews and I was so happy with Linda’s work!! Not once did I feel rushed even though I came at the end of the day. Linda took her time, was careful, and did exactly the design I wanted. I will be returning. She did 2 coats of dip, one nude gel, and drew on gel French tips for me.

SOPHIA BONILLA Save your money and time and go anywhere else. So expensive for probably the worst nail experience I have ever had. Been here a couple times and the only place my nails have ever broke after less than week. Two different times. Powder gel with solid color was 90 dollars and one of them broke a day later and the clear coating was coming off on like four nails. Worker was rushing. I came in at 1 and a woman had a 1:30 appointment. I wouldn’t mind a rush if the quality was good. But after not even full week had to come back and get it fixed twice.

Alisha Gonzalez I had an extremely pleasant experience getting my nails done here. Firstly, Sunshine is really a ray of light and a master at her craft. She really enjoys what she does. The suite is private, quiet and clean. My nails came out so perfect and I’ll absolutely be back (poly gel over natural nails for reference).

Nurture U Wellness What an awesome experience. Today I received my first Gel manicure and pedicure with Sunshine!! I had the CBD pedicure and it was delightful. She is a true professional and highly skilled in her craft & artistry. The space is clean, cozy & private. We had good conversation & sang a song by one of our fav artists. I highly recommend her. I will be back soon. Thank you Sunshine- -Samantha Cintron

Hanna Conn Ive been going to Sunshine for over 6 months now, every 3 weeks. I found her when I was looking for someone to do my wedding nails, and now I wont go anywhere else. She takes her time and does a consistently great job. She is an independent artist, and takes care of her clients like her friends. I look forward to my appointments!

Valerie Adolphe I’ve been going to Sunshine for consistently for over a year. Going to her suite is like a mini getaway and therapy session all in one! My nails have grown amazingly in the time I’ve been seeing her and at this point in my life, l literally can’t imagine going anywhere else! She is very knowledgeable and friendly, has educated me on nail health and science, and has executed basically every design I’ve asked her to do for me. I feel like a celebrity when she does my nails! She’s also quite flexible when it comes to making appointments for me. Worth every dime spent!

Cecilia Barreto I am SO happy to have found Sunshine @pipbuzzz nails. She is the absolute sweetest, and she went out of her way to make sure I felt comfortable, safe, and happy with my nails! The suite is a cute & private vibe :) I was nervous about finding a nail tech since I recently moved to the city, but I was extremely fortunate to find Sunshine. She does bring positive energy, and I think that’s all we need during times like this. I will most certainly be recommending Pipbuzzz Nails to my friends. Thank you, Sunshine, for being so welcoming, and I cannot wait to come back for my second appointment!

Kathryn J I went to this location cause the rating was so good on Google. The procedure was nice. I liked the massage as well…but only after a day, my hair started to get stuck in between the nails and the gel. I was hoping it would go away but the tip of the nails are all rough getting more things stuck (my jacket as well…) after a week, the tip of the nail chipped. It seems that the nails lacked another coating….? I really wanted to love it but I sadly will not be going back… (Just writing this for FYI. Don’t expect too much. )

Nirosha Methananda They are friendly and the service is ok. As expected in NYC, have to pay for literally everything as it’s an add on. What I didn’t expect was such a lumpy manicure. I went from Gel to normal nail polish and rather than buff my nail so it was smooth, this is what I got. They said the polish would cover it, but it didn’t. And my nails look awful. I wouldn’t go here again.

Anmol T My friend and I came here after seeing the high ratings and collectively paid close to $200 for our manicures. My gel manicure was the most haphazard manicure I’ve ever recieved. It was done in a complete rush and turned out SO messy (Mind you we had appointments so not sure what the rush was about). I wanted a simple design of flowers on 4 nails and it took the nail tech 20 mins of trying before he asked someone else to do it. The filing and shaping of each nail is terrible and then they proceeded to charge me an extra $25 for a tiny design on 4 nails. The tech was also very rough and would practically throw my hands away when they were done painting so that I’d put them in the UV nail light. They also charged my friend extra for removing her gel nail polish after initially saying it would be included. When we brought this up with the lady at the front desk - she simply shrugged and couldn’t be bothered. The people who work here need to learn about customer service and etiquette!! Would not recommend this place to anyone as it was a waste of money and terrible experience

Giovanna A Establishment is clean and wasn’t too busy, I got a regular dazzle dry manicure which is a great option to have, but as far as the service goes it was rushed and not very precise. A manicure is a detailed service for the nail to be refreshed, I got a mediocre cuticle clean up and a barely there touch of the cuticle nipper. All in all the service was $40 ($10 extra for the dazzle dry polish) i could of gotten the same service for much cheaper or done it myself, i wouldn’t recommend this place if you want a good quality manicure, but it was quick (and the results show), i pay for a service to look professional and just looks like something I could do at home. Slightly disappointed. Dazzle dry is advertised to last longer like gel and it’s already chipping away 3 days later, I believe due to the rushed service.

Kylen Smith Ive had awful experiences with nail salons near here, but Im happy to say that I found a wonderful salon that gave me one of the most high quality gel manicures I have ever received. I booked a 12:30 pm appointment and was seated right away. The salon wasnt empty but wasnt crowded either - a good sign, in my opinion. My nail tech was very thorough throughout the entire process. I never felt rushed as she made sure everything from my nail length/shape, cuticles/skin around my nails, and the application of the color was perfect. I was fortunate enough that she was able to provide me a UV dryer for each hand (although I dont know if this would be the case during a busier time). Unlike other places that try to rush the drying stage, my nail tech made sure to let my nails stay under the lamp for two full 60 second cycles for each layer of primer, polish, and top coat. She had a sixth sense for knowing when the heat lamp had completed its cycle, as she would quickly turn it back on. Shoulder/back massages are offered, but I declined. I still received a complimentary "sample" massage at two different points during the appointment. It felt so nice that I might have to get one in the future. This salon prefers cash and has an ATM by the front door. The ATM fee isnt that expensive ($2), but there are enough major banks in the area that you can withdraw some cash ahead of time if you want to avoid the fee. My manicure looks beautiful and has really boosted my confidence in the short while that Ive had it. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Jenny Elaine I’ve gone to Kevin the last three times to get my nails done and his work has been perfection over and over again! He is incredibly detail oriented and even more so, very careful. Any time I’ve come to him with a broken nail he takes his time and checks to make sure I’m not in any pain while repairing it. Not to mention the massages while I’m getting my nails done - I always start with 5-10 minutes and then end up adding more time on because they are so relaxing. 10/10 recommend.

Olivia Ramirez I had an incredible experience at Pink Blossom! Kevin did an outstanding job! I arrived just before closing, but both Kevin and Tiffany graciously stayed ate to accommodate me. Their kindness and dedication to their craft truly stood out. I’m so grateful for their exceptional service and will definitely be returning for all my future nail care needs. Highly recommend!

Dean & Laura Badach I’ve been going to Pink Blossom religiously for ~2 years now, and Kevin who is my go-to nail technician, truly outdid himself for my engagement photoshoot! The team is always so welcoming and professional, but this time they went above and beyond. This was my first time getting chrome nails and they turned out absolutely stunning, with every little detail done to perfection. They really listened to what I wanted and made sure I left feeling confident and camera-ready. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend them for any special occasion or just your regular pampering sessions!

Kennor Lino Very professional

Andrea Valentin Dip powder lasted almost one month. Thank you Ana
