One Nail Studio - New York (NY)

1 /5 Kay: I went here with a couple of friends for manicures and pedicures a couple days ago and we did not have great experiences. For my pedicure: the water was room temperature rather than warm, there were no jets on in the soaking tub, the nail lady barely scrubbed my feet, and did not wash the products off my feet properly leaving the soles of my feet green. I wish I took pictures. One of my friends and I then had to walk on the dirty floor without slippers despite there being a stack of slippers. When I asked for a pair of slippers because I did not want to put my feet on the dirty floor again, the nail lady brought me paper towel to place underneath my feet lol. When painting my toes, I also had to instruct the nail lady to add another coat because there were spots where the coating obviously was not enough. For my manicure: I’ll insert the pictures below. The paint job was inconsistent. The nails started chipping/peeling off the following day and had air bubbles all over them. I paid for the polish that was supposedly to last longer… I honestly want a refund for this shabby job! When we left, we paid and still tipped them. But, I was complaining about the soles of my feet being green when a couple nail ladies overheard; they told me that it would go away once I took a shower and it did. I also complained about having to walk barefooted in the shop as my toes dried. One of the ladies condescendingly tried to give me slippers after the fact, asking if I wanted a pair of slippers as if they were useful to me now that my toes had dried. Overall, not good experiences. I’ve been to many salons and this was the worst experience ever. Do NOT recommend. I have never had a pedicure and left the salon with ashy green feet. I even had to ask them for lotion after the pedicure to moisturize my feet lol. This place seemed to have good reviews, but you’re better off DIY than going here. I wonder why our experiences were different…

1 /5 Alondra Espino: Beyond frustrated with this place. I called at around 11:45to see if they could take me at 12 for a quick regular manicure. She said yes absolutely no problem they weren’t busy. I left during lunch and when I arrived there was no tech available. After a few minutes of not being acknowledged she asked if I could wait 30 minutes. Terrible business practice and a waste of time. There were only 3 techs and they were all busy. Don’t waste your time at this place, plenty of other salons in the area

5 /5 Julie Corum: I was in desperate need for a fill on my nails, as well as a pedicure, and this was the closest nail salon near me with availability. It was small, but it was very clean, organized, and peaceful. The staff were all professional, helpful, and very accommodating. I’m big on smells right now, and this salon smelled so good and so clean—especially their towels! The nail techs also did an outstanding job on my nails; as you can see from the picture, I didn’t get something too simple, and they were able to do exactly what I wanted. I also had the best pedicure I think I’ve ever had. They were very thorough and really took their time. The 20-minute foot massage was actually 20 minutes. They set a timer and everything. They actually took time removing callouses (my feet look and feel brand new) and did everything in the pedicure description. If I HAD to complain about anything, it was that it took a really long time. I was in there for 4 hours. However, I got the most extensive pedicure with gel polish and the 20-minute foot massage, and asked for different designs on every finger nail, so I expected it to take awhile. Overall, I highly recommend this place! I’ll definitely be back next time I visit NY.

5 /5 Raquel Rosmaninho: I am on a quick business trip in NYC and was desperate for a manicure. Walked in to this nail salon and couldn’t be happier. As a typical Brazilian woman I like regular manicure with cuticles well trimmed. Diana did a wonderful job!!! I also did pedicure with her. I rarely use nail polish on my toe nails. This is the result! Also amazing! It’s a clean and quiet place. Diana is the best!
