List Best 19 Nail Salons in Rochester, NY

Brittany Francisco I booked my first appointment with Aleeza. I got a French manicure and a pedicure. She did a wonderful job and this is by far the best mani/pedi Ive ever had. Aleeza took her time understanding exactly how I wanted my nails. The salon was beautiful, clean, and fresh. The prices were also very reasonable. I highly recommend and cant wait to return in the future!

Jillian Bert I wandered into Aleezas one day when out for a walk and I couldnt be happier to have done so. The clients in her salon at the time raved about her so i trusted them and made an appointment, and im SO glad i did. She did an amazing job with my highlights, she made me feel comfortable, taught me a few things about my hair, and was so easy to talk to. I look forward to my next appointment with her.

Rebecca Burns Aleeza is amazing! I ran here in between other things for my birthday to get my hair done. I ran out of time to do the actual curling but she was so nice and I loved talking to her. Ill definitely be back to actually get my hair fully done (she did wash and dry it which was what was important to me!! And I was the one who ran out of time, not her!)

Ember Frink Oh my gosh, where to begin. I had Aleeza as a professional nail ARTIST! She has at least 26 years experience in nails alone! She listened to my preferences she was attentive and allowed me to put in my two cents. She was extremely professional, great at conversation and accommodating to my needs! Also at this price no one in town could beat her! 10/10 would recommend to everyone! Worth the walk to Park Ave.!

Victoria Kaptein I’m so glad I switched hair dressers to Aleeza. I’m always really happy with my cut and like that she really takes time to consult and clarify what my hair goals are before getting started. I highly recommend giving her a shot if you are in the market for a new stylist!

Autumn Young Elisha is friendly, professional, and so talented! My nails have never looked better thanks to her. 10/10, highly HIGHLY recommend!

Debbie Wilson I recently visited Phenomenally ME Beauty for eyelash extensions and a nail appointment, and I am beyond impressed! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The ambiance is calming, and everything is clean and well-organized. Elisha is incredibly skilled and attentive. My eyelash extensions are flawless — they look natural, and the process was so relaxing. As for my nails, the precision and creativity in the design were amazing! Elisha took the time to make sure I was happy with every detail. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism that went into the entire experience. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend Phenomenally ME Beauty to anyone looking for high-quality beauty services.

Amber Hovis Elisha is always down with my crazy ideas. She does a phenomenal job and her attention to detail is insane. I’ve never left with a bad set and she actually cares about the structure and health of your nails, which is rare! We always have good conversations. It’s just an over all vibe and good experience. She remembers me and conversations we’ve had weeks prior. I can go on and on, the point is if you’re not getting services from her, you’re messing up!

Teresa Robinson I had a facial with Elisha today and it was such a relaxing experience. She’s also so versatile and offers a variety of services. I can’t wait to get my nails done soon. She knows how to connect with clients, she’s professional and she’s kind. I highly recommend her!

Terri Deal Great clean and remodeled shop! Always happy to help and always gives you what you want. They are very friendly and accommodating. They are always willing to work with scheduling your appointment based on what you need.

Deja Cotton I had an incredible experience here today. Tiffany and everyone was amazing and went above and beyond to make my appointment go so smoothly. Will be coming back! Highly recommend!

Sharon Coluccelli Went today. Tiffany the owner was great! All the latest colors and trends! Very clean! Ill definitely be back!

Abby M Hart Not only did I get the best manicure Ive ever gotten, but I felt right at home. The people running this business are kind, and incredibly welcoming! I was so relaxed the entire time. It was a wonderful experience all around!

Thalia Schramm Love this place! Ive been coming here since I moved to Rochester, and they always do an incredible job. The new renovation looks great, too! (This is color #268 btw)

Erin Heckman Jess and team are always welcoming and provide exceptional service. Love the salon.

Maria Jose Sturtevant This place was recommended by my coworker after me going to an “expensive salon” and got my nails destroyed. I saw Vi and she did a wonderful job. Very friendly and knew what she was doing. Also Tran does a great job. The place is clean and has great prices. 100% recommend! I didn’t take a picture right away but this is how they look after two weeks and the designs are nice!

Noelis Ruiz Cordova MTV Nail Salon is the best in Rochester! Ninja has been my amazing nail tech for almost two years. I am so happy to have found him. I wont go to anyone else. His work is always very detailed, carefully done, and always comes out spectacular! He always gives me exactly what I ask for. Ninja not only provides amazing service and skilled designs, but provides a safe environment for creativity and communication. I also find that MTV Nails offers great prices for those on a budget. I typically always get a gel-x fill and a gel pedicure and only spend $100 and it lasts me about 4-5 weeks. Highly recommend MTV Nails, specifically Ninja!

April Guilford Ive been doing my own dip and gel nails for about 10 years but like to get them done at the salon for special occasions. With a vacation coming up, I decided to visit MTV Nail and Spa for both my nails and toes. Typically, Im quite picky and not always 100% satisfied with salon results. Today, I had a set of hybrid gel nails done by Ninja, who did an excellent job with great attention to detail. Su did a fantastic French polish pedicure. I left completely satisfied and will definitely be back!

Brigit Norway I have been going to MTV for 9 months now. They do amazing work and all the staff is so kind. All of the nail artists are so talented. I get my nails done by Ninja, who pays attention to the little details and always exceeds my expectations. When I do get a pedicure, Sue does an outstanding job! Prices are reasonable. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to get their nails done.

Eryn Eren Love my nails, Ive been with Kim for 20 years and trust no one else, she gives me what I want whether it be my nails or toes! Come in if you need someone gentle and knowledgeable in everything nail ..

Mack Strahl Always the best in Brighton!

Kenneth Capuano Kim does an exceptional job, is very detailed, and a joy to have conversations with. Highly recommended!

ana llopis Best nail salon in town. Mrs Lee and Lien are wonderful nail techs and artist. Is always a pleasure to go and do my nails with them. Make sure you schedule an appointment because they are very busy. They are fast to respond in case your appointment has a conflict. Ill keep coming back for sure.

Jessenia Zayas I came yesterday for a pedicure and had an AMAZING experience! I was welcomed warmly, the place was peaceful and not busy and very homey. The pedicure was in depth I was almost falling asleep how relaxed I was! I already recommended them to my friends while I was IN the chair! 1000/10 experience, I will be coming back again and referring more people!

Latoya Roberts I’ve been coming to see, Lee and Khanh for years now, and I can truly say that I love them like family. They are amazing at their craft and they always make you feel welcome. Khanh has a true gift for doing nails, and she’s so talented and, Lee gives the best pedicures and she always slays my eyebrows. If I could rate them higher I would! I recommend them to all my family and friends, keep us the amazing work ladies ♥️

Jessica Beavers I had an amazing experience at Lee Nails Salon! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Lien, in particular, was incredibly kind and attentive, going above and beyond to ease the pain I was feeling in my feet. She made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and the attention to detail was fantastic. My feet have never felt better! I feel completely refreshed and pampered. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a top-notch nail salon experience in a cozy, quiet setting!

Rachel Fleissig Throughout college phynix did my pedicures, manicures & waxed my eyebrows. Shes so talented, a great person, and has a great sense of humor. 10/10 recommend her she’s amazing!

Laura Discavage Phynix is my first ever nail tech and she is the best! She makes the experience easy and my nails always turn out so beautiful. Our chats are so fun and she is very down-to-earth. I mostly get simple designs but I know if I wanted more complex nail art she’d crush it! Phynix is a great option if you are looking for gorgeous nails and a fun chat to make the hour go by fast!

Carl Finnemore Got my nails cleaned up for a work event , very clean and friendly very good job just what I asked for thank you! Reasonably priced manicure ended with a great hand massage

Lexi Forte I’ve been going to Amber for almost a year, I have never left her chair with a manicure I didn’t love and she is one of my favorite people to talk to (lovely bonus to beautiful manicures). My nails are so strong and this is an appointment I always look forward to. Bella is also so kind, they are both dedicated to providing high quality services. The Nail Room Roc will always have my business!!!

Katie Sammann Amber is the best! Ive had nothing but flawless manis and pedis from her every single time. I appreciate her focus on nail health and how she educates her clients about it. Shes also just a great person to chat with and makes you feel comfortable and valued. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Meghan Phinney Amber is the BEST in Rochester! When I moved back from Charlotte, NC to the area, I was so worried I wouldnt find someone who did quality manicures. A friend referred me to Amber and I couldnt be happier so far. I ended up getting structured gel for the first time and love it. Her work is unmatched, and she is also a blast to hang with. Highly recommend!!!!

Emily Astuto The Nail Room is a beautiful, clean, and comfortable space to relax while receiving extraordinary services! I got a russian manicure by Bella and couldn’t be more happy! She was very attentive to detail and sweet to talk to. Amber and Bella both create a welcoming environment. I would highly recommend The Nail Room to anyone looking for a luxury nail experience.

Dianna DePriest Tiffany is the Best, warm,easy going,I love the way she does my nails, she takes her time and is truly a joy to have as a nail tech.

brittany scroger Tiffany is fantastic, she is such an easy person to get along with and has become the only person I trust to do my nails. Besides being a great nail tech she is a great person with a wonderful personality, I feel like I can have a nail appointment and a therapy appointment at the same time and leave feeling my best! I definitely would recommend her to anyone that is looking to get their nails done!

Ether Shakur Tiffany is amazing. Shes sweet fun and professional. Shes real and thoughtful. She makes you comfortable and pretty affordable as well Shes the ish and I will be taking a class from her very soon

Holly Hill So glad I found my new nail girl. Tiffany did an amazing job on my nails. I checked out her photos and was in love with the variety. I don’t think there’s anything she can’t do. Such a huge step up from where I been going. She posted a new product and knew I had to have it. It’s 1,000 times prettier than the sample photo I seen. I can’t stop looking at my nails! ❤️

Claire Martin-Mann Ryan is not only a fabulous nail tech, she’s also a talented artist and always made my appointments so fun.

Mae Copeland Not only is Ryan sweet, cool, and a great person to spend an hour with, she’s also talented, her workspace is clean, and she always has the best ideas for my nails. Couldn’t recommend Heaven Sent Nails enough! So excited for her to have her own space.

Mary Sarkis What an amazing experience. The space is so unique, welcoming and warm. Ryan is a perfectionist and extremely talented. She has a gentle touch and my hands felt amazing. I am so happy with my manicure. I will recommend her to everyone!

Elizabeth Roth I can’t say enough positive things about Ryan! Time spend with her is exactly the peace I need while treating myself to time out and a manicure! Lucky Rochester … You’re missed in Atlanta!

KeyAndra Adams I have been getting my nails done by Shorty for 8+ years & I love her like family . She’s such a sweetheart & has a heart of gold ! She’s the only person I let do my nails . She pays close attention to detail, is very creative & takes her time to make sure your nails are exactly how you want them. Shorty & Jojo at S&J Nails are professional, clean & friendly . They make sure you leave their shop with no complaints ! 10/10 - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them !

Ivelisse Huertas Jojo always makes my day when she does my nails. Talented and makes you feel welcomed.

Your Favorite Month This set has been on for 3 weeks and as you can see it doesn’t even look like i need a fill just yet . The quality is GREAT!!!!

vonie greenaway I love the creativity of the ladies and they make you feel at home while here. I highly recommend them. The ladies are extremely knowledgeable and professional; you will not be disappointed.

A Rivera I love S and J nails. Jojo and Shorty are amazing. #1 in the Roc for quality, cleanliness and making you Hands and feet look the best

Cherry Blossom Nia is a warm, kind, unique and caring soul. She is definitely the one you should choose for your aesthetic services. She is very attentive and knowledgeable to her craft, and especially caring to her clients needs. If you have questions, give her a call.

Kristin Forte Nia is my girl! She is absolutely amazing and so talented. Literally the best experience ever having my nails done! My A1 from now on! I get a ton of compliments on my nails and I will never go anywhere else.

Dr Rev Cynthia Cole Private, Professional, Classy, Uniquely Personable, Very Engaging . The owner is attentive to your comfort, assuring an individual experience. I was searching for and found this place to be exactly what I need. I highly recommend the services of this amazing young experienced African American entrepreneur. Her services are to male and female clients providing a great environment! I look forward to my next appointment.

Grace Cassady Nia is my new go-to girly for pedicures! She is passionate about making you feel comfortable and beautiful and she takes her time with you. She doesnt make you feel rushed when youre in for services. She is great at communicating and helps you make decisions with your nails if youre feeling a little indecisive (like me) ❤️ Nia made this an amazing experience for me, she made it feel like a reunion between two best friends (even though this was my first time seeing her). I couldnt recommend Nia enough!

kendra smallwood I love the nail tech Nia She always gets me together by providing me with the best service Highly recommended

Stacey Klimek Absolutely gorgeous work!!! She is the best nail tech in Rochester and thats no lie. We have been around hunting for someone who was talented. Today we hit the jackpot. I texted her this morning, she got back right away and we were there by noon. I highly recommend getting your nails done by Pooh. She is so warm and welcoming. We found our forever nail expert. Thank you Pooh ...again they are breathtaking ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dashina Wiggins She is an amazing talented nail tech who takes pride in what she does. She never disappoints.

Joya Melicia Very friendly & welcoming ❤️ does your nails however you like and takes time & care! Highly recommended!

Rachael Burroughs I have been with Tina for over 20 years. My primary service are acrylic nails but have had other services rendered . The thing that drew me to her, was her technique with nails. She never used the drill on your nail bed and is always flexible when life happens. In many establishments if you break a nail you are charged for repairs. Tina Maria does not charge for this service it is included as part of your service when again life happens. She has a positive atmosphere, clean facility, and is always on time and professional . Every time I go there I feel like one of the family. Tina and her staff treat each person/client with respect and care. If you are looking for a FABULOUS place to pamper yourself with a inviting atmosphere for any services, look no further Tina Maria’s is the place.

Melissa Dorreman I am a client of Shelby! She is awesome with my nails, very friendly! I love coming here. Reasonably priced!

Kenneth Lee Kaye The people that are here are consummate professionals. I have had the pleasure of knowing and enjoying the company of Kristen for a number of years. Not going to say how many years because she wouldnt like that. If youre looking for a place where you can get the best service with a smile, and friendly conversation then you really should check out Tina Marie Salon and Boutique.

Wildatheart Kristin has been cutting my hair for a lifetime. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Ive never had a bad experience or cut ever. Very professional, customer-oriented establishment.

Sheila S Kaye Nail client of Tina, Owner she is excellent. I have followed her for passed twenty years. I have tried other salons but Tinas work and service is far superior and she cares about her clients.

Maressa Marcanio This is the best nail salon Ive ever been to!! Service is outstanding and the quality of work is unmatchable. These girls are so talented!! Kristin did my set for me and its perfect! She was a please to work with and gave me just what I wanted. Very happy and will be booking again!

Macey Robinson I was nervous to get my lashes done because I was worried about an allergic reaction and bad outcome, but let me tell you this place is the best place to get your lashes done in the roc, I love Arianna and they’re work! Alwags a sanitary and welcoming environment. I won’t go anywhere else❤️

Ferda Tan Sabrina is a wonderful nail stylist! I came to her as a new client with a complex design and she did such good with it! She was receptive to my ideas and thoughts as well and I really appreciate it.

Alexander Brodhead Katherine and Kristin are amazing and the environment at Neon is one of a kind. The studio has a very exclusive feel in comparison to the stereotypical open beauty/nail studios. I have been getting my nails done by Katherine since she started in July 2021, and she is incredible! Not only is she extremely talented, she is focused on the health and wellness of my nails. I have gone to my fair share of salons, but the quality of work here is unparalleled. I previously had regular acrylic and dip acrylic nails, but I have loved the switch to gel. I have had less issues with gel manicures than I ever did with dip or acrylics. I have had both Gel-X and Structure Gel manicures. My preference is Gel-X, however I have had issues with my nails where Katherine advised against getting them until it resolved. Structure Gel has been a great way to focus on nail regrowth and healing. At first the appointments seemed long, but it is easy to pass the time chatting with Katherine and Kristin. Appointment length is dependent on what you want in terms of polish and level of art. I suggest asking Katherine if she has any ideas she wants to do. Multiple times I have gotten amazing nails from her ideas. I cannot recommend Neon Beauty Studio and specifically Katherine enough!

Ashley Diaz A retreat worth speaking about! It was my first time at A&C and from start to finish I felt like an official princess getting pampered. Susan did an amazing facial and I made sure to utilize the extra amenities (rainfall shower with body jets, dry sauna) post service and I left feeling so rejuvenated! Their private sanctuary is like out of a magazine and really allowed me to unwind in amazing comfort and ambiance. I would recommend to anyone!

Ashley Robson I celebrated with Ape & Canary on my birthday. My facial with Susan was AMAZING! My skin was glowing when I left. It’s so cozy and relaxing in the waiting area. You have the choice of changing into a robe and slippers while you wait. I got there early and read my book :). Best birthday gift ever!!

Nancy Heeder Beautiful inviting atmosphere!! My stylist, Allie did an incredible job with my long hair! She has a wonderful personality and is very skilled!! I couldnt be happier!!!! I look forward to making an appointment with her the next visit to Rochester.

Hadiyah Travis Such a peaceful experience ✨️ I had a 50 minute massage w/ Collin, he did a fabulous job! The staff and amenities are amazing. Really loved the ambiance as well, will be returning.. sooner than later. Thank you all!

kimberly bohnel I enjoyed an 80-minute massage with Scott. It can only be described as perfect. He found the areas that needed extra attention, asked for feedback to ensure the pressure was what I needed and worked hard for the entire time. It was so luxurious. Then I enjoyed the sauna, incredible shower and lounge area. Bring a book and enjoy the peace + tranquility at A+C!

Winnetta Greenlee I had my first appointment with Courtney today and got a structured gel manicure. She did an incredible job, and was very nice and professional. The shop was cozy and cute, and there was off-street parking. I will definitely be back, and have already recommended her to others.

Anjoli Moïse Top tier service. Courtney is kind, professional, and an expert at her craft. She takes the time to educate you about your nails and is flawless when it comes to minor details in sculpting the perfect nail look. Her space is warm and inviting. I LOVE my nails everytime. I highly recommend !!!

Kristi Motra I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the outstanding skills of Courtney. I cannot express enough how impressed I was with her professionalism and attention to detail. Courtneys work for me sets her as the best nail artist in the city. Her structure gel manicure was flawless, outshining any other artist Ive encountered. With a meticulous attention to detail, Courtneys work exudes elegance and exceptional quality. I highly recommend her to anyone in search of stunning and long-lasting nails.

Tanja Stendahl Court was wonderful company during my gel manicure, and my nails turned out beautifully! I was really comfortable here with the set-up and protocols she had in place and its located in a cute little neighborhood so enjoyed my walk here. When Im back in Rochester Im definitely coming back here!

Sneha Kolli Courtney is amazing! She did my nails for my bachelorette party and even came in on her day off to fix a chipped nail for me before I left out of town. She took the time and care to do my nails perfectly and offered excellent personalized advice about my wedding nails. I booked my wedding nail appointment immediately bc of how great she was. Definitely recommending her to my friends and family!
