Central Hair & Nails - Albany (NY)

Mackenzie Weber A little hole-in-the-wall place, tidy and cozy. I had a fill and a pedicure done by a nail tech named Zhang Meng, he took his time, he was very gentle and detail oriented. The nail art is beautiful, and the pedi was nice and relaxing. It took a good hour and a half, so give yourself lots of time. But it was worth it. Highly recommended. Not sure what all the negative reviews are on about. UPDATE: been going here regularly for 2 years. All the reviews saying that the staff are rude and they hurry - yeah, sometimes they hurry if you dont make an appointment and expect to be served right away, or roll in 10 minutes before closing and ask for a full set or something, or sit down and expect a 15 minute manicure. They take their time, they get it right. And if youre polite, the staff will reflect that. I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. Nails are always on point, all the nail techs are excellent, if they make a mistake with your nails theyll do them again (only happened once over dozens of times!) Never had a broken nail that wasnt my fault (acrylic will crack and chip under normal wear, but yall should know this already.) And if Koko makes a suggestion, yall better listen to her. She knows what shes talking about. She and the other nail techs have actually saved me from my own bad design or color ideas a few times - shes never steered me wrong.

hannah lewis This is my 3rd time going to LR nails and I have left happy a 3rd time. Ivy did such a great job with my nails and had a lot of patience with the kind of design i was asking for. Definitely recommend!

Eydid Ali I am so taken aback by how amazing of a job these girls did. My girlfriend and I came here for the first time because we just moved here and they not only took us as a walkin but did such a fantastic job making us feel at home. The prices were so cheap and the vibes were great. We are coming back again in two weeks ! Also side note, I’m a man and this is a very welcoming place for all types of men. I didn’t get ridiculed at all :)

Manaswi N Me and my sister visited Salon 109 for the first time, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Jan worked her magic with our haircut’s—she clearly knows her craft. I love that the salon is open on weekends, making it so convenient to schedule an appointment. The entire experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Stephanie Williams I called on a holiday (July 4th) and New Envy was open!! They took me in right away and did a great job with an ANC manicure with tips!! The person that assisted me paid a lot of attention to details and made sure to get everything right! The salon was clean and also laidback. I will definitely return!

Madeline Forman Love this salon! Kaitlyn Beck takes care of my hair and I am forever appreciative of her knowledge and personality! The owner, Kaitlin Bray, did my brows a few weeks ago and I cant wait to go back! These talented women rock and everyone should utilize their services. Five stars!

Jinhan Fu I did several times of nail painting there, good quality and each time last about one and a half month. They are friendly and I really like my new nail paintings. I will recommend to each of my friend who wanna find a perfect place to do the nail painting. Ready for next time!

Maria I was a walk in, first time I came to this salon for a gel manicure. Mia prepped by base, and ryan painted my nails. Both of them are amazing and have great customer service, especially from Mia. My nails came out great. They took their time and paid attention to details. I have been to many nail salons in the area, and some of them are so much busier, BUT this place is my new gem, I will be going back for sure and definitely recommend checking it out !!!

Ava Taylor I had an amazing pedicure here! The staff was so gentle and professional. The foot massage was incredibly relaxing, and my nails look perfect. I’ll definitely come back for another session soon!

Teah Izzard I love Ellis Nails! I’ve been twice now and I’ve loved the result each time! The ladies are super thorough and they checked with me each stage to make sure I liked what they were doing! Amazing service, wonderful environment. The music is great and I’m always so comfortable when I go in. Highly recommend this place.
