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

Natalya Pigulskaya Always a great experience here. The only place I go to for a pedicure. In the summertime, I come much more frequently for a regular pedicure and in the colder months, I come about every 2 months for a gel Pedicure.

Lucia Di Just tried this place last minute without an appointment. I go often for foot massages but I was very impressed with the massage technique by Nilda. Although this is a nail salon the massage was better than other massage places. Thanks Nilda

Alisia Gough I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure.. I was very impressed by the place when first walking in, staff was really nice and helpful.. I really liked the place in general and how they offered massages.. only thing I didn’t like was my nail job, I usually go to all about nails which is great but I haven’t been able to get in there this week because They have been busy and I haven’t been able to make appts that far in advanced because I’ve also been busy.. so I tried this place, it’s not terrible, just not as careful with my gel polish as I’m used to and just rushed and sloppy, so of course it’s going to bother me seeing this hardened gel in the creases of my nails/cuticles even though nobody else can really notice, oh and she also barely cut off any of my cuticles??I got my pedicure first and then my manicure and then a twenty minute back massage so my toes def had more than enough time to dry but my big toes completely were empty of nail polish by the time I got home.. I don’t think that’s anybody’s fault really, but just weird how that’s never happened to me before.. and I get my nails done ALOT. Maybe the lady I got was just in experienced because I wanted French at first but told her to just leave the base color once I saw how bad the French was.. just seems overhyped because of the nice place I was expecting at the least the same level of skill of where I usually go, which isn’t physically as nice as this shop, but the nail techs are so good at what they do.. this was kind of disappointing.. I will say the massage was pretty good though :)

Kate Pi Good and fast service! Love my nails

Faye Ahmad I finally discovered a fantastic nail shop! Billie and Queenie are amazing when it comes to manicures. Its tough to find a salon that truly takes their time and cares about their craft, but Billie and Queenie exceed all expectations. If youre looking for great service at an affordable price, this is the spot for you!.

Tee Brooks I had Gel polish removed on my feet-$3.00 gel mani with design was $36, and regular mani is $20. I had the blonde short bob woman who sits by the pedicure station. Pressured to get gel on feet but was polite and left a little polish on my fingertips. She didn’t drill my nails for too long but she gave me extremely small slippers for my pedicure. However, the gel is peeling after only two days.

Courtney James I have finally found my home! Billy & Queenie are so patient with me and I always leave feeling refreshed. There is also no overly intense acetone scent upon entering. The decor is a welcome in itself. Plus the staff can do so many different nail designs! Instagram worthy at that! 5 Stars!

Rosalina Ball I cannot say enough good things about this nail salon! From the moment I walked in, I feel so welcomed and comfortable. Billy’s attention to detail is unmatched — he listens to exactly what I want and always exceeds all my expectations. Whether it’s a classic look or something more creative, he nails it (pun intended!). Their technique is flawless, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his craft. Plus, he makes the whole experience so enjoyable with his kind and friendly personality. If you’re looking for someone who is both talented and a joy to be around, Billy is your guy. Highly, highly recommend!

Amanda Li Design I dont know why they didnt ask me to pay first. My nails were not dry enough and at least 3 of them were ruined. Also the technician was not very careful she missed so much. I might be one of the last customers but they should be so sloppy. I dont have a lot of options in this neighborhood but I will try to avoid coming back

Camille Allums Stopped in with my sisters to get our nails done with no appointments. Not only did they get us in quickly, but they have done an amazing job cultivating a relaxing and restful environment to really treat and spoil you. While my fingernails were drying, they not only did the hand and arm massage, but they massaged my shoulders and took about 3 weeks of stress out. It was so good, that while I was waiting for a chair to open up for my pedicure, I got a ten minute chair massage. I almost fell asleep. I get frequent massages, and I normally wouldnt expect a chair massage to be so amazing, but it was exceptional. I felt like a warmed ball of wax in their hands. The Milk and Honey pedicure was so relaxing and felt amazing on my skin. This is now gonna be a mandatory stop whenever I come to Brooklyn to visit my family. *As a side note, I really liked how they set timers for all the massage parts of the experience. Most places dont do that and therefore the massage times can vary dramatically from client to client and stylist to stylist, but this was a nice way to show consistency to the customer so you knew you were being treated equitably.

Akins Ridge HOA First time here via recommendation. They’ve got a customer for life. Great atmosphere, no smelling of chemicals. Alex was my nail stylist , she was great and gave a great complimentary massage.

Tokyo Flo Love this place!!! The staff is kind and the service is almost always immediate. I enjoy getting my nails done and really the overall environment. They have a lot of options in terms of colors, not big on designs though.

Can Dan I’ve been frequenting this establishment for several months. The staff is friendly, space is clean, and the environment is relaxing and welcoming. I usually get a gel manicure with a regular manicure. What I initially thought was a once in a while mishap, has become the normal experience. While my pedicures are lasting the acceptable timeframe, I’ve noticed my gel manicures are barely making it to a week. I visited on NYE and within a few days, one nail’s polish began to lift and peel. Now it’s 6days later, and 3 nails have peeled, with a few others that have nail polish lifting as well. For the price, this should not be happening. This is what I would expect for a regular manicure. I must note I use gloves to wash dishes (even used gloves to wash my child’s hair over the weekend). However, the polish still isn’t lasting. I really do love this place, but I cannot justify wasting money :(

Lara Pham Not sure about all these bad reviews but I’ve been coming here for 3 years and my gels always look amazing and they last up to 3 weeks! I’ve recommended this place to so many people. Everyone is nice and respectful. Even though they don’t do designs I sometimes ask if they can and they always try to accommodate. I have been going to Tina and she’s great!! For those reviewers who say that these technicians are rude, do you speak to them with respect? I’ve seen and heard some rude people in here, please remember they are human too and deserve to be spoken to with respect.

Emily I hate to rate poorly but I just got the most mediocre walk in pedicure of my life here. Bare minimum, low effort pedicure. Had to ask to scrub my feet more and harder. My feet were still wet when she tried to slip my sandals on to start painting, had to ask for a towel to dry my feet. The included shoulder massage at the end of the service should just not be offered due to how no effort was put in. Glad it lasted all of 15 seconds lol. I could have done a way better job at home, so I am extremely disappointed that I paid for this service. I hope my polish lasts a week for an event. They offer a 10% discount if you pay in cash. I will not be returning.

Mary Case My go to place. They’re good about honoring reservations when I remember to make one. Always walk out happy.

Adama I had my nails done here. Gel mani and pedi. They did a fantastic job Yoyo was so nice and took a great deal of care while doing my nails. 5 stars and I will be coming here again. They really go above and beyond with their customer service! Be sure to bring cash for the tip.

Katelyn Meyer Very nice service. They do a great job on nails and have a rewards program. Can get busy best to make an appt.

Ann Marie I was hoping around different nail salons until I found Cindy. She gives exceptional service and quality work. I love that you make an appointment, I never have to wait and I am never rushed. The salon used a lot more eco friendly product and stays away from harsh chemicals. But still has a massive selection of colors. Cindy is experienced and creative. I love coming to do my nails and would absolutely recommend it.

Koval Oleksandra (Alex) Updated 2025: Still love coming here! I always get exactly what I ask for. My nails always look neat and cute after coming here. Thank you! -------- Ive been to this salon 3 times now and can comfortably say the service is great and consistent (mani + pedi). I love how my nails come out, Cindy pays great attention to detail, and the cost is very fair. Super clean and hygienic salon, good atmosphere, just an overall enjoyable experience here.

Alyssa Huang I recommend her to all my friends! Cindy is a passionate and ethical nail tech who takes the time to properly do your nails. Cindy is respectful and offers her artistic opinion when asked, and will challenge herself to be creative with her nail art. She takes walk ins, but I recommend scheduling an appointment ahead of time so you don’t have to wait. Also, she only offers gel, no acrylics!

Hamidjanova Mahinur (Maya) I really liked this place and will definitely go back my two things are to always make an appointment and save up before hand. Cindy did my nails and they turned out amazing! I did French nails with a glitter line on top and she told me everything she thought about my nails and about my reference picture. She was very helpful. I paid about $96(including tax and tip) without I believe it was 85$(for fake nails + gel + design).

Emily Tang I have a great experience each time I go to Cindy. She goes off a picture I show her but adds her own flair. The price is very reasonable for the work she delivers. One time, my nails lasted over a month without lifting! The nail salon is also one of the cleanest I have ever been.

Vita Ivanova I am glad I have found the gem! Tatiana is an amazing nail technician.

Veronika Ivanova Tatiana provides the best Russian manicures that last for over 4 weeks with no chips! Can’t say it enough that it’s worth it to go here. Every time I make a different design but this one in particular has been my favorite. Her passion in her work doesn’t go unnoticed and she always has a great energy when providing the manicure service.

Dania Ali I have never seen someone put as much attention to detail and little things as Tatiana. She took her time with every single nail and ensured it was perfect and up to standard. 100% worth the cost and excellent service, will be going back for sure.

Brianna Guillaume I love Tatyana! Every new style I want to try she’s ready and willing and knocks it out the park each time!

Magda Jeznach Perfect every time!! Easily lasts 5-6 weeks.

Ruqaiyah Johnson I am a regular at W Rich Nails and I am always happy with my nails when I leave. The owner, Helen, is always kind and her staff are friendly and skilled. They are capable of doing both simple and more complicated designs. They have a dedication to making sure that the quality and aesthetic of the work is excellent. In addition, they will always touch up or fix for you if you have any issues later on. I’ve been to many nail salons but this is my favorite. Highly recommend!

Finn Panzica I am so grateful to live in the area and came across this shop. Hao completed my pedicure which was short and sweet - exactly what I asked for. I received a gel manicure. As a man with short nails, I love to switch it up and the owner Helen, was nothing short of amazing and kind in getting creative, offering suggestions, and all at a very fair price. So happy to be a forever customer now.

Jaylene I had an amazing experience at this nail Salon! From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. The salon is clean and modern. My nail technician, Helen, was incredibly skilled and took the time to ensure every detail was perfect. My nails have never looked better! I highly recommend this salon for anyone looking for top-notch service and beautiful nails.

Essence Nipper Loved my nails and the recommendation from Helen, her customer service is also amazing. I did the UV gel overlay. She is such a kind women. I will be coming back!

Aizada Bashenova I was recommended to visit this nail salon and especially be proudly “nailed” by Rita but she was busy that time and other pro Emma took care about my nails. Affordable prices, clean, looks like everything disinfected. Will definitely come back!

Julia Davis The staff is always friendly. You can take any picture to them, and they will match it to the best of their abilities without fail. Or even make it better than the picture that was brought it. The prices are extremely reasonable. The first pic is the reference pic. You can see for yourself how well they did.

Libby H Rita is great! She is very quick and my nails last 4 weeks! I have been coming here for a long time! Highly recommend!!

Yu Li Ya Updated Review: Unfortunately, after many years of being a loyal customer and recommending this place, I can no longer in good consciousness give it a 5 star review, as the place has changed in their approach to cleanliness and customer service. When I first discovered this salon, I was impressed with how much attention was paid to hygiene. Before using tools, the nail techs would wipe them with alcohol pads to make sure theyre thoroughly disinfected. Unfortunately, this practice has since been abandoned, and the tools simply get placed in the sterilization machine, but given the number of customers, I dont think that proper amount of time passes for the sterilization to take place. In addition, the tools are stocked up on top of one another instead of being laid flat. The last time I received a pedicure, my nail got infected with fungus, which is proving very difficult to treat. The nail techs also used to be very consistent in their quality of service. Now, some seem to be more qualified and knowledgeable than others. The nail techs also stopped paying much attention to the customer service and often fail to ask if you want a massage setting to be turned on on your pedicure chair - its a small thing, but very telling of the declining customer satisfaction care. Also, the products seemed to be more high-end before, while now they seem to go for cheaper versions. The nail polishes are diluted with acetone, which leads to yellowing of the nails and them turning dry and brittle. The prices are still very reasonable and the owner - Rita - is lovely and friendly. I just wish they went back to their original quality of care. Its not the worst place as far as Asian salons go, but unfortunately, it is no longer the best. Original Review: The place does not offer much in terms of nail enhancements or designs, so if you are looking for nail art, I wouldnt recommend this salon. However, if you are looking for the best natural nail care, such as manicure and pedicure, this place is amazing and very clean! Their pedicure is by far the best Ive gotten in Brooklyn! I strongly recommend their special SPA pedicures, as they include skin treatments and a 10-minute massage. My personal favorite is the crystal gel pedicure. Rita, the owner, is very attentive and helpful and always remembers her customers preferences.

Julia Jordaine I love this salon! They always do really great nails and will have you feeling fabulous. I’m only giving 4 stars instead of 5 because they are not very considerate of the customer’s time. There is no reason that I should have to sit here and wait 3-4 hours to get my nails done when only 2 people are ahead of me EVERY month that I come here.

Deneese Ortiz Manicure was well done and it lasts about 3 weeks if Im pushing it between manicures. I always get compliments on their work. Prices are also reasonable. Definitely recommend.

Chrissy T My 3yo and I got our nails done today at Phoebes and had a great experience. She got a mani/pedi (just file and nails painted) since it was her first time going I though it would be the quickest option. Not to sure which tech did mine or my daughter nails but we would definitely be going again. Very affordable! They’re great & patient with kids!

Bad Milli I just left and had a good experience... they all seem to be very good. I had the lady who table is first.. soak off, new set, French $65 ... not bad at all. Will definitely be back for toes in 2 days lol Try em. Go early. Always satisfyingly awesome.

Erika Murray I’ve always had an amazing manicure at WellZen. Today Amanda, the manager, blew it out of the park. Always meticulous and precise she gave me a gel manicure with extensions and I was in and out in 1/2 the time. Very happy and will always come back.

Rebecca Goldman I’m not traditionally a design on my nails girly, but I wanted to change it up and do something different this time. I brought in a few photos and Danna was able to replicate it spot on. She was super thorough, meticulous, and detailed, and I think they look so nice! Wellzen has always been my spot for nails, but now I am even more impressed with the options! Definitely recommend Danna for designs!

Vicki Minervino I’ve gotten tips/gel x at WellZen done a few times and after this last set, it will be my last. Less than two weeks ago, when I got my last set done, it was genuinely painful when they were applying the glue under the UV light to the point where I was uncomfortaWhile they can be quick to get you in, my experience with the manager has always been lack luster when she does my nails and the last set I had I felt like I was coaching as to what an almond tip should be. This last time I got gel X after being told they were stronger than tips and before two weeks was up, I’ve lost 8/10 nail tips from pulling at the nail bed or getting caught and ripping off. I always get compliments on my nails but after more than a few times of being underwhelmed with the service and now not even having a $100 set last two weeks with good maintenance, it’s time to move on from WellZen.

Jack Healy I’ve been to WellZen a number of times over the years and have usually had a pretty good experience. The atmosphere is the best out of most other salons in the neighborhood. I went in about three weeks ago for a manicure-pedicure and it seemed busier than I’d ever seen it. I forget why exactly, but I remember having the suspicion that the nail tech was using an already dirty cuticle trimmer. Within the next week, I developed an extremely painful paronychia (cuticle infection) on my left pointer finger that came close to requiring a trip the ER. I was prescribed two antibiotics and had to have the abscess drained, which was an excruciating experience. My finger is now on the mend, thankfully, but my cuticle is potentially permanently damaged. I myself will not be returning to WellZen (after years of visits) and I highly recommend that those who visit MAKE SURE that the employees are using clean equipment.

Eleni Spaliatsos Very kind staff!! They were very gentle and dedicated so much time and care to doing my nails. Left with a beautiful gel manicure for very reasonable price! Would highly recommend.

Johanna Trivino I was really looking forward to getting my nails done at Ruchki da Nozhki Nail Lounge based on the reviews and pictures. However, after my experience, it’s unlikely that I will return. I came in for a Russian gel manicure and asked for a lavender/pink chrome. I confirmed multiple times with the front desk that they could do this color, and they assured me they could. Once the nail tech began, I requested to have my nails cut shorter. She cut my thumbs much shorter than the other fingers, creating a visible discrepancy. I asked her to match the lengths, which she did. Later, I noticed that there was still blue polish from my previous manicure left on my nails. I pointed this out, and she said she would fix it but never fully removed it. As she was about to apply the chrome, she asked another tech for help, which surprised me given the salons reputation for quality designs. She seemed flustered and confused, and when she applied the chrome, it was clear instead of the lavender/pink I requested. I let her know, and she consulted another tech, who mentioned they didn’t have the color I wanted, only green. Without informing me, they proceeded to apply the green chrome, but I immediately stopped them. They then offered me a few other options, but none were what I originally wanted. During this time, my original tech began attending to a new client without any regard for me. Another tech took over but then handed me back to my original tech, who was busy with her new client. A third tech was eventually called to finish my nails. Throughout this process, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issues, and the flip-flopping of techs was frustrating. When I went to pay, I explained to the manager that I didn’t want to pay for the chrome given the experience and the lack of the color I wanted. Instead of taking responsibility, she questioned why I didn’t refuse the chrome earlier. I explained that if I had known from the start that they didn’t have the color, I would have chosen a different solid color instead of the cloudy white base. Reluctantly, she agreed not to charge me for the chrome. This salon, where the manicure costs $137 (without tip), lacks consideration and accountability. The audacity to ask for a tip after such an experience is appalling. Tips should reflect good service, which I did not receive. The salon needs to be mindful of their clients and the experiences they provide, acknowledging when they fall short and offering appropriate compensation. Entitlement will only push away future clients.

Barbara Ibarra Beautiful nail salon and experienced nail artists. I had some issues with a chrome chipping over the holidays and wasn’t able to make it in to fix them and they fixed them free of charge and were super kind and apologetic. It’s super clean and they take their time. I was here for almost two hours while my artist worked diligently on my cuticles and nail shaping. I know it sounds like a long time but she was just working to be so precise. I’ll be coming back again and again.

Lilian Takahashi I’ve been coming here for a few years but usually just for pedicures. I got a building gel refill today and it was great. Asya was attention and really understood what I wanted in my nail design. I showed her a picture and she was able to adjust colors the design based on our conversation. She did a great job with my cuticles and nail shape.

DiDi Ward I go here to get my eyebrows, pedicure and full set. The first couple of times it was fine. They do good nails. But they love to overcharge and change prices. I usually ask for straight nails instead of the curve. It’s normally free. This time however I was told it would be $5 extra. Certain technicians are rough. I left with both a cut on my finger and my toe. When I asked CoCo for a nude base on my pedicure I was told I could only have nude if I get gel. That’s weird. I usually get nude in regular polish. She put this horrible pink on my toes and when I didn’t like it. She rolled her eyes like 10 times directly in my face and charged me for a color change. The attitude was not warranted and extremely disgusting. I almost walked out. If I didn’t have graduation in a couple days I would’ve. I then decided to do white. Mind you she didn’t take the pink off just put white on top. (Was that really a color change?) The time before this the lady doing my eyebrows sneezed/coughed on me. I should’ve stopped going at this point. I spent $113 including the tip I told myself I should not have left. They do good nails but have obnoxious technicians.

Jade G do not come here. i came to get my feet done and the polish literally started chipping the next day. granted i did get regular polish because its winter time but still my feet shouldn’t be looking like i got them done 3 weeks ago when in all seriousness it hasn’t been a week yet and 4 of my toes are chipped. on top of that i got charged $30 for regular polish.. and the tech was originally trying to charge me $40.

MakeupPurgatory DO NOT COME HERE! I came in yesterday to simply get a small layer of acrylic soaked off, the price on the sign says $7 for a soak off/one nail fix. I told the nail tech that I just wanted a soak off, nothing else. She then pulls out a metro card and starts trying to take them off with the card?? It was visibly hurting me and I could see a layer of my nail being peeled off. I told her to stop and she kept trying to use the card! When I finally pulled my hand away and said they needed to be soaked off she brought me to the back. The back area was filthy, the walls and bowls looked like they hadn’t been cleaned it quite a while. She brings back the bowl with hot water and acetone(the acetone was in a metal bowl) and the water was so hot I could barely keep my fingers in the bowl. It was like she had just taken it off from the kettle and poured it in right away. About 10-15 mins later she comes over to file some of the acrylic off and had me soak them for a little longer. When that was done I went back to her station and she further filed them with an e-file. She somehow managed to both over file my nails and under file them, still leaving acrylic left on them which I unfortunately didn’t notice till I got home. She then asks me what color I wanted, to which I reminder her I was only coming in for a soak off. And now the price magically jumps to $10. I told her the sign says $7, and her and her colleague tell me that’s only if you’re getting a new set. Which I stated both when I walked in and when I sat down I was just getting a soak off. If they were planning on soaking off my nails so poorly and then putting a new set on top there’s no way they would have lasted. Now my nails are sensitive and damaged. I should have just gone to my usual spot Darling nails, they’re about 10 mins away from Grace and have a much cleaner environment and are much more professional. Don’t come here unless you want to be overcharged and left with damaged nails. I’ve included some pics that hopefully show how poorly they were done .

shatora Stockdale Ive been coming here for years ! I love the service , maggie does a good job on my nails , grace does a good job with brows and lashes and jason does a good job with pedicures!! 10/10

Sara Kadosh I have been going to Lorena for 3 years now. She has learned my nails and knows exactly how to give me a gel manicure that lasts a month! No cracking or chipping, the only reason I cant go longer is because of nail growth otherwise the manicure stays intact. I usually get a regular pedi at the same time and it lasts just as long. Love all the ladies, friendly, warm and accommodating atmosphere.

Steffryz Love love! First time here and Loretta took her time with my nails. She paid very close attention to detail and gave me EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. From the shape of the nail. To the color i described. And only for $35.. my new nail spot

Aurora Parkinson GREAT prices and atmosphere, got mood color change gel polish with golden specks for $28 and they really do give full treatement. The decor is also really nice and feels upscale without the upscale prices. Definitely sticking with it as my new place

Mobasera Chowdhury Thorough and takes their time with pedicures and nails. Massage chair is always a plus in a nail salon.

Lisa I finally found a great spot in the area:) I had Heather do my pedicure and manicure. She did a fill in for my gel and gave me a great callous removal. I will be coming back for sure.

E Benjamin Amazing, extremely clean neighborhood spot for your mani-pedi and more. Usually get the scub pedicure and regular mani. Always a good visit. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you feel pampered from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is soothing, with soft music playing in the background and the scent of refreshing oils filling the air. They offer a variety of services, from classic manicures to luxurious spa treatments, ensuring theres something for everyone. Plus, their attention to hygiene is top-notch, with all tools sterilized and surfaces regularly cleaned. Whether youre getting ready for a special occasion or just indulging in some self-care, this place never disappoints.

Jessica Lawinski I’ve been coming to this location for almost 3 years and I cannot recommend it enough. The salon itself is always spotless. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Everyone is kind and welcoming. I’ve had manicures, pedicures, and chair massages and all of the services have been outstanding. I go in every 3 weeks and have never had a bad experience.

Paula V This place is absolutely AMAZING! My girl Sonia is the nicest, most professional technician I’ve ever met. She was so attentive to details and so thorough but at the same time super efficient. I definitely found my favorite spot and I recommend it 1000%. Everyone there is very kind and friendly and you don’t feel rushed at all! They clearly care about their customers! Ladies check them out, they’re fantastic!

Dildora Sotimova two stars because yes i have had a worser experience on 86th at a diff nail salon. I added what i wanted as the last picture, because i had to go somewhere else to fix them.. this was the most ridiculous experience ive ever had for a 120$ nail set…service is not reliable here. You either get a goodnail tech or a horrible one who lies and says this is good. Minka, if this is good idk what to say to you… this was last tear but im stil furious about the ignorance and the level of unprofessionalism. If you charge 100+ for nails, the make your service match.

Ragimova Kamila “Melany” So i got gel extensions that were originally 130$ but I also asked for some stats, which was 30$ extra... But the experience was overall great. My nail tech Malissa was super good at what she was doing. She was very professional and sweet. If I will come back Ill request her as my nail tech again. Just her service and talking to her made me loosen up and she made me feel comfortable.

Julie Wintrob Love this place and love the staff! I went for gel nail extensions and Halloween themed nail art designs. Ella who did my nails was so nice, professional, and talented! 10/10 service! I also love how clean and organized the nail salon is. It’s worth the money to know everyone there cares about hygiene and cleanliness.

Maïwenn I usually don’t write reviews but I have to. This is what my French gel manicure looks like 3 weeks after getting them done. Perfect French shape in my opinion, and you can barely tell it’s been 3 weeks. I’m actually going to push one more week before getting them removed because they don’t get stuck in my hair or anything. This is the best salon I’ve been to in the city. Prices are very cheap compared to similar quality of service in the city. Staff is super friendly, it’s super clean, they do an amazing job. I booked 2 hours before showing up, the manicure was done in 40min. There is a loyalty program that I definitely joined since this has become my new nail place 10000%. Highly highly recommend

Arlene My regular nail salon was booked up and luckily this place took a squeeze in. However for the price I dont think Ill be coming back again. I had a soak off for 6 fingers and did a soft gel short/medium length w regular french tip and that came out to be 146, not including tip. That honestly feels like a ridiculous price but the service was genuinely good. My manicurist was Coco and she finished everything in 2 hours.

Chioma Armstrong Technically I’m giving them a 4.5 rating, but google doesn’t allow half stars. I had a woman named “Emma” and she was very meticulous with her craft, which I appreciated. She seemed to take pride and care in what she was doing and checked regularly with me if I liked how it looked. She was gentle with my hands and didn’t rush the process. It felt relaxing. The space was clean and quiet and well lit. They seem to offer a lot of other services, such as waxing and massage, but I can’t speak to those. Personally, I think a nail salon should just stick to nails but that’s only my opinion. The reason for my half star deduction is because when I told the technician I wanted a French manicure, it wasn’t made clear to me that they automatically make it a gel manicure. In my experience when at a nail salon, they ask if I’d like it to be gel or at least specify “this is gel” or something. I’d never done gel before so I had no idea what the process was like. Also, this was my first time going there, so it was a shock to me when the price came as I was expecting a regular manicure and had budgeted for something much cheaper.

Faiga Borukhov I paid $100 for my nails they ripped me off. It was nothing that special about these nails that were $100 worth. Not only that she lied to me about the design and the pricing but

Debbie Adewale Amazing nail studio! Always able to fit me in in time and a few of the nail techs can do fun nail art. They are my favorite place to go in the city.

shadea blyther I’m new to this nail studio and have been here 3 times in a month already. They are my new favorite place to get my gel manicures with my natural nails. My last set lasted me over 3 weeks! Check them out. Also very nice ladies and quite hilarious

Asia Lily Valentine I never make reviews but after my experience here I HAD to. I came to this shop for the first time and needed a fill. My nails were 3 weeks grown out and they were just very sloppy and messy when I originally got them done 3 weeks ago at different shop. Kim was AMAZING. Her attention to detail is exactly what I’m looking for when I get my nails done. She changed my previous coffin shaped nails to almond shaped without an extra charge. She made sure I actually liked how they looked MULTIPLE times before putting on polish. She pushed my cuticles back before doing my fill (I honestly don’t think any nail tech has done that on my nails), and they are thin, strong, and natural looking as if they are my own nails. The majority of the time I get my nails done, they’re a little too thick and bumpy. She even helped me pick the right color red because the original one we both agreed was a little too orange. When applying the polish, she made sure to get around the edges of the nails and get as close to my cuticles as possible. You’d think that would be the standard at every nail salon. Everything felt very clean and I watched her take her tools out of a sterilizing machine. On top of all of that, the price was INSANELY good for NYC. I’ve had a hard time finding a nail shop that matches the prices I used to pay back home in Virginia, and also actually do a good job. In the 10 years I’ve been getting my nails done and the countless of salons I’ve been to in multiple states, this is the best my nails have ever looked.

Brooke Le Mense Love this salon!! It’s so convenient, as it’s right down the road from me, but also all the workers are so very nice! They do great work and take their time tk ensure you have a great experience. They also engage in conversation with you, which I personally love because I’m a talker hahah, they also always fit you in when it works for you. I always come as a walk in and they seat me right away. Prices are very very good for the work they do, truly couldn’t recommend a better nail salon!!

Sarah-Ann Long I had a guy nail tech and he did amazing job on my nails. Everyone there is so nice and so respectful. This will be my go to nail salon and it was a good price for my nails( Acrylic).

Cynthia A I have been coming to this place for years now, never disappoints. Nails done by JACOB!!!

Nyah Davis Never have I received a pedicure and not gotten a massage and salt scrub. I actually went in for a mani-pedi. After she tried to pull my SNS/Dipping powder off of my nails with cuticle clippers, and tried to cut my long natural nails without asking... I knew it was time to cut the service and stick with my poorly done pedicure. Questionable as to if products are actually cleaned between use. Wont be returning. Nor would I recommend.

Ghana Chel Love Nancy . Best for pedicures

Natasha Durel Really chaotic and rushed service. I asked for a french manicure and was told yes. I even had pictures and examples of what I was looking for. The woman I had was painting quickly and chatting and laughing with the tech next to her, which is fine, but in doing this she was creating really uneven lines and I had to be honest a few times and just politely correct and just advocate for what I wanted. They had a few people waiting so it was clear as to why she was zooming through it, and normally im fine with a quicker experience and less spa like, but the quality of the nails was compromised to a degree I had to speak up and now say this. The man working the front came over and I had to show him my nails because she had only done one layer of the white to where the color was transparent, it was uneven, and you could see where the white streaked out of the design and she was saying she was finished. They should have more upfront about who felt confident doing french nails because I ended up having to argue and deal with a confrontation energy with the man at the front and another nail tech who was unwilling to cooperate and step in to do it when I was just simply trying to explain what I wasnt happy with. I shouldnt even have to be in a position to have to argue on a service Im treating myself on. The other nail tech did eventually step in after I had to be firm with all of them on what I needed taken care of and she then painted and simultaneously taught the one who originally was doing my nails. All three of them stood there awkwardly the rest of the time and at that point I was pissed off and just quiet. I still paid and tipped, but it was unpleasant, rude, and unprofessional.

Galina Magidova Got gel manicure there 2 days ago, it cracked on the first day and started chipping on the second day.

Sara Kolodziejski I had an 11:30 appointment for a gel manicure. When I arrived I was of the only People in there but they started to get busy. Whoever was taking the gel off my nails began rushing because they were “getting backed up.” I picked a color that apparently was a black with a shimmer on top of it. It was supposed to be gunmetal grey. But the swatch didn’t have a number so apparently she guessed. I said something about the color being wrong and she ran for a different shimmer. Long story short I left with a totally different color than I asked for, was talked to like an idiot when I pointed out what I got vs what I wanted. She was putting on so many layers that I assumed it would eventually be correct. It wasn’t and I paid $40 for a manicure that was entirely not the color I wanted. Which I’m now stuck with for two weeks unless I want to pay again. I came here hoping to finally find a good place in the area and was sadly mistaken.

angela berger After over 15 years of going to this nail salon, I have to change from 5 stars to 2. There has been a decline in service. For the price charged for services, the service received should be worth the price. Peeling or shattered polish. But thats not all. Owner can get nasty and disrespect when asked to fix color, or anything while sitting in shop. Needless to say I was mortified when I was last there as owner was actually mean to me. That was the last time I was there.

Angela Stompanato This is literally the only place I have ever gotten my nails done. They do a fantastic job each and every time. Very clean, and they don’t rush when doing your nails. The owner Song and her staff are so lovely. They are accommodating and treat you like family here. As long I live in Brooklyn it is the only place I will go to for my nails.

1220Shakes I have been having my nails done here for more than 10 years. What flips me out is when I am somewhere else and people compliment me on my nails, I always tell them to go to Grace Nails and ask for Song. She draws the design on my nails each time I visit, freehand. Works of art.
