Manhattan Nails Salon - New York (NY)

1 /5 Chelsea Hall: I paid $186 for these gel extensions including tip. The price when I booked was HALF the price and at the end the owner “surprised” me with that number, I asked her to explain it and she tried to shower me with compliments. I am not wealthy, this was a huge chunk of my paycheck, and just because I went in wearing my nice work clothes does not give you the right to rip someone off. Also, I went there two weeks ago for a gel set and one of the nails already popped off two weeks in- that’s why I went back. (Also, the thumb on the right hand of this set is crooked!) I got my nails done to help me feel confident visiting my dad who has leukemia. The lady who runs this place should be ashamed. EDIT: the owner has responded as you can see below. My extensions were the same length as the ones I purchased the first time, which she told me were short. At no point during the appointment did she tell me I was going to be upcharged or charged differently than what I booked. On their website it says the soak off is included, which she clearly admitted to charging me for below. I will be reporting this business. Also, nowhere in my review did I mention my cuticles. And yes, the owner is correct for noting I have eczema. I am in no way blaming this business for me having eczema. The fact that the service took so long is because my nail technician was taking her time, shes clearly new at her job, which I dont fault her for. But as a client I should not be penalized for how slow the tech is. The owner also didnt ask me if I wanted to have the nails filled in, as she mentioned below-- I asked the tech for that, then the owner told me that I had to get a new set. Because I was naive, I believed her.

5 /5 Naomi R.: The Nail salon was very pretty, clean, and the service was so good! I was so happy to see they were open till late. They offered me water or tea upon arrival & even offered to work on my manicure & pedicure at the same time to get done faster. They took their time to make sure I was pleased with everything and they were so kind! The price was fair for the kind of service I received. They also show you the price in the beginning so you know what you are paying for. I recommend!

5 /5 Dustin Soper: When I’m in town I have my favorite nail salon on the Upper West Side - but not anymore. I had an incredible experience tonight at Manhattan nails. Their attention to detail is unlike any salon I’ve been to, and Roxana is a gem. She is very thoughtful and very attentive to her guests. The atmosphere is that of a living room, sitting around making connections, like a family. I am glad that they stay open late. That makes it easier to get more things done after a long day. Thank you, Roxana, and all for a great night.

5 /5 Stephanie Preshlock: These ladies were super sweet and attentive. My nail tech was very good! She took off about 40% of my acrylic and put on gel overlay. They turned out beautiful!

1 /5 Chine I.: Was charged $67 for a regular manicure and it didn’t even last 12 hours. I had to get my nails done for work so now I’ll have to go get them redone elsewhere which is incredibly frustrating. Very disappointed. The person at the desk told me to not use hot water on my hands for 2 hours after the manicure, so I avoided hot water for 3 full hours and still woke up to see my nails chipping and lifting. The salon was very clean which I appreciated but unfortunately I will not be coming back
