List Best 18 Nail Salons in Manhattan, NY (Part 2)

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.

Sam M. When I say Mira got me all the way together, I’m not exaggerating!! For months I’ve been contemplating a Russian manicure but was skeptical because I’ve gotten painful cuticle inflections after other nail shops have manipulated my very sensitive cuticles. Scrolling on IG Mira’s shop pops up. I tried my luck and she was so sweet and patient over the phone and was able to fit me in same day. I walked by the place because they’re on the second floor and there’s no good signs. So that’s one thing she can fix. Although it may not matter as you have to be buzzed in anyway. Mira was polite, welcoming and explained the process. Offered a beverage like coffee or water. She also made recommendations when asked. I didn’t feel like her suggestions were a money grab add on, they seemed genuine based on my description to her.

Shanice Mckenzie I absolutely love coming here! Every tech does an amazing job. They always goes above and beyond to make sure my nails look perfect. The attention to detail, the creative designs, and the warm atmosphere make each visit a treat. I always leave feeling pampered and so happy with my nails. Highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful nails and great service!

Nina Ag The best nail salon I’ve been to in nyc. I’ve been to many nail salons and kept searching and searching (I’ve been to Japanese nail Korean nail influencer nail salon etc) for the one that puts attention to details and finally found the one. The nail tech here really puts attention to detail and when they cut the cuticles with the drill it doesn’t hurt at all. They’re all super skilled. I’m very picky on my manicure and they did fantastic job. Highly recommend.

Ashley Tran She is very precise and pays high attention to detail. She was gentle with my cuticles, and they are the cleanest they have ever looked! The studio is neat and comfortable, and they offer refreshments. Such a lovely team - overall great first experience.

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 ❤️

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.

Andrea Tamasi I’m obsessed after getting my first ever Russian manicure / pedicure! I’ll definitely be back. I have nothing but amazing reviews for the staff and cleanliness. Your cuticles get cleaned up like never before and the mani’s are known to last 4 weeks!! Already can’t wait to go back for my next one! Zalina at the front desk is so welcoming and kind. 10/10 recommend!

Lauren I cannot say enough, good things about Aya Nails. I have had my nails done with multiple people at this location, and I have never been disappointed. The location is so clean everyone that works. There is very professional and very friendly. It is such a relaxing environment and the quality of work speaks for itself! Be mindful that they do have a very strict cancellation policy, but this is a reflection of their work ethic and their time and their clients time. They are very punctual and their work is meticulous!

Isoke Davis I have been coming to Aya a little over a year, and love it! I started off just getting pedicures but now I do manicures here as well. My current nail tech is Nara, she is very sweet and helpful. This nail salon is a 10/10 experience.

Tyler Morris EDIT: Management reached out swiftly and took full accountability. They additionally offered a free service and made sure to reiterate that all feedback helps. This was a really great customer service response and I will be back! This has made me change my review from 2 to 5 stars. ————— I went yesterday, and my technician spent a large amount of time conversing with her colleague during my session. I wouldn’t normally mind this (I’ve been here before and know their quality is typically great), but this seemed to distract her because she ended up drilling so hard that three of my cuticle beds were bleeding (pics attached - dried blood is visible). I made her aware to this after she continued to drill for a few minutes - it didn’t appear that she had noticed, which concerned me. I mentioned that I needed her to stop drilling because I was in pain and needed antiseptic. Antiseptic was provided and she was ultimately able to complete the service, but the entire reaction was nonchalant, and no discount was offered at the end (which would have been a nice consolation to the experience). This isn’t something I would expect from a higher end salon like this. In addition, in the beginning of the appointment, she also scolded me for not coming frequently enough - I told her that was fair and that I understood. She continued to harp on my irresponsibility, to which I then reluctantly and quietly pointed out that I had recently gotten laid off and that money was an issue. She doubled down and asked the reason why I had let my nails grow so long - I had to then loudly say that money was prohibiting me from coming as frequently as I wanted. This was VERY awkward and unpleasant - I understand the importance of regular nail care, but please try to read the room and not shame your customers! They may have a legitimate reason other than just pure laziness. Again - this salon usually knocks it out of the park from a quality standpoint, but this experience was frustrating.

Rosetta P. The best Russian manicures! Ive been going to Aya Nail Studio for over a year and will not go anywhere else. I always book with Gulya who does the most beautiful, perfect gel manicures — she never misses a detail and my nails are the longest and healthiest theyve ever been. The salon is also extremely clean (which is especially important to me) and the staff are very warm and welcoming. I cant say enough good things about this place!

Ann Merullo I’ve been getting dip manicures for 5 years and have never received one as bad as this. For a simple one color set with 3 tips it took 2.5 hours with two different techs and was 97 dollars. I also had to file them myself when I got home because the tips they put on were all significantly longer than my natural nails. They did not use a base or top powder (literally only the color) and also did not use a drill to smooth the dip or clean the cuticle after applying the color. When I returned to fix the first broken nail after it chipped while washing my hair the next morning they told me it was per technician preference. I have never been anywhere that a full system of base, color and top powders weren’t used. By that evening another chipped while opening my purse and again today another broke while using the TV remote. This is the worst set I’ve ever gotten. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. I couldn’t even have them removed/refunded because they are closed Sunday and Monday. Just terrible.

Monique Zmijewski I had such a wonderful experience! The salon is beautifully decorated with a great aesthetic, creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive, making the entire visit enjoyable from start to finish. Their meticulous attention to detail and genuine care for their clients set them apart. My nails turned out beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. If you’re looking for a salon that offers both exceptional skill and a fantastic experience, this is the place to go!

Karissa Rosario Love, love, love my nails ! Ana did a great job. She made sure to do all the colors I wanted. What I loved the most was her patience with me. I would def come again

Yuting Did the Structured Gel nails and I love it! Will come back again. The place is also super new and clean.

A R Fantastic service, extremely clean, and very accommodating. This was by far the best experience! The place has a great vibe, with a friendly atmosphere and excellent service. I always enjoy going to Nail Me Right for my nail appointments!

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!

Hà Phương Vũ This is my nails after 3 weeks. Absolutely love this place. My nail tech (I believe her name is Young Ji) is very gentle and did a very great job. She made sure that I like the color and the shape before moving on. I’m pretty picky when it comes to my cuticle skin, she did a great job but it was still not the best for me. The salon was cleaned, all the tools they use were sanitized, which made me so impressed. The pedicure was okay, not too excellent. I guess the pedicurist was new, but they’re all so nice to me. I paid $50 for my manicure, $60 for pedicure, which I think pretty reasonable. Definitely have to go back if I have a chance

Julie Lee I had a bad allergic to something they used. The owner stopped replying to me. My gel nails also started chipping after 6 days. Was not worth the money. Also, it was very chaotic the day and time we came and it did not feel relaxing at all. In the beginning, we felt rushed and it wasnt very friendly at first. For spending nearly $200 including tips, I expected more and better quality than the cheaper nail salons I have been to.

Sheeva M i have been coming to nail wah since 2021 and they’ve always been so consistent. all of the technicians are great and have amazing attention to detail. the inside of the salon is also so cute. love going there - my gel manis always last at least 3 weeks!

naomikateri This is my go to nail salon. I love going to sister 10. She is meticulous and does an amazing job.

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.

Maria Rion Recently, I moved to New York City, and getting my nails done has always been a big deal for me. Back in Spain, I would go every 3-4 weeks—it’s my special moment to feel beautiful and take some time for myself. So, finding a nail salon in my new area that suited my needs was incredibly important. After days of searching online, I came across Hue Nail Club, and I couldn’t have been happier with my choice. Eva Mendoza took care of me, and her service was beyond exceptional. She was attentive, delicate, and fulfilled every single request I had. I couldn’t ask for more. Honestly, I didn’t expect to find a place that would exceed my expectations, but this one did. I had an acrylic refill, shortened the length, changed the shape, and got the exact design I wanted. The attention to detail was impeccable, the price-to-quality ratio was great, and they even treated me to a mimosa! From Eva to the other technicians and even the receptionist, everyone made me feel completely at home. Thank you, Eva, for making me feel so welcome and for such a flawless experience. I’m attaching some pictures so you can see the amazing results. I’ll definitely be back soon! Highly recommend Hue Nail Club to anyone looking for top-notch service in NYC.

Julianne Menassian Hue is great and Silvana is amazing! My first set of Gel X held strong long past when I should have had them dealt with. These beautiful winter nails are a gelx fill in and gel with matte on top. Everyone working there is really friendly and Silvana is very talented and knowledgeable.

Patsy Boyne I have been going to Hue Nail Club for the last few months and I couldn’t be more impressed! The salon is spotless, with a clean and welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. The staff is professional, attentive, and skilled, taking the time to ensure everything was perfect. Silvana is amazing and my nails are stronger than ever, the quality of her work really stands out. It’s clear they care about providing top-notch service, and I always look forward to going back. Highly recommend!

Maggie Day Roberts I’ve been coming in for manicures/nail art about 6 months now, and it’s always such a treat! Tiffany has both superb design and freehand painting skills. Every set is unique and immaculate and I’m always getting compliments from friends and strangers! Communication is A+ throughout the process. Wholeheartedly recommend Hue!

Madison Rudick Silvana always does such an amazing job on my nails. They have been healthier than ever. She always takes the time to match colors & designs seriously and is really quick! I’m always so excited to get my next set and if you’re considering a new nail place to establish as your constant stop I would definitely suggest here especially if you want dip powder.

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.

Karissa Johnson Shirmoh took her time as she cared for my nails. She was very diligent and ensured that I loved my shape too. Labib gave a relaxing massage and I felt so relieved once it was finished. The staff were so friendly and I felt welcome. I look forward to returning soon!

Natalie Twist Lovely salon! Walked in without an appointment for gel nail and got sat down immediately. Love my French manicure done by Michelle who was so precise and amazing! Deffo recommend thank you x

Melissa Torres The service here is amazing. Sindy has amazing brush work and is very efficient! And Labib’s massages are such a relief after a long day of hard work, HIGHLY recommend!!

Alexandria DiClemente I got my pedicure done here and it was very relaxing it’s turned out beautiful and my skin soft and clean no dead skin. I got classic white gel. I got the chair massage 15 minutes and it was soo relaxing.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Gabriella Curcio What an incredible experience Angela really put her whole love and heart into my nails for the past hour!!! I called last minute and was able to get in with Angela and I will highly recommend her the future ! Finding acrylic is very difficult, especially in New York City and I was happy to get it with her!! She had extreme precision and shaped my nails in the way that I love! My acrylic was $70 and she gave me a little back massage!

Carly Krysa I moved to NYC 2 years ago and couldn’t find a good nail salon. Then I came across Y&D. I couldn’t recommend this place enough. I get dip manicures and they last 4 weeks and all of the technicians do an amazing job. Highly recommend if you want quality work done. I will never go anywhere else now.
