The cleanliness and vibe of the salon was amazing, the women working there were super sweet, and…read morethe color selection was very diverse... but that is where is all the good comments I have end. I wanted to love it given the many reviews and stars, however I was extremely disappointed. I was a walk in and requested a manicure with nail extensions and a cateye gel design, and experienced all the issues below 1. When the gel x nails were applied, too much glue was added on 4/5 nails on my right hand which caused my skin to burn when putting it under the light. I asked 2x to file away the excess glue as having it touching your skin and encapsulating your natural nail is unsafe, and it was not properly addressed. She started with attempting to dig it out/separate the glue from my skin using nail clippers which hurt and pierced it. And when I asked the second time, she simply filed it with a regular file so it was flat filled surface underneath my nail. 2. My nail extension was filed crooked. When I asked for it to get fixed, they attempted to but ultimately caused the nail to appear weird. 3. They were unable to create any of the designs I asked for. Nor was anything really explained in terms of what could be done. (The person next to me was given a few options and asked for her preference). 4. After I left, I noticed the top coat had a bubble on one of the fingers. I am usually not really the type to be super bothered on small details like design, shape, and issues with the top coat as I understand some things can be missed. However, I chose to get my nails done (rather than doing them myself) for the safety of a professional and correct application. I can overlook all the issues except that. Overall, I would not be returning nor do I feel comfortable for them to fix it. I am just disappointed and needed to share for those who may have similar concerns or thoughts. 2 stars are for the vibe, cleanliness, kindness, and good cuticle work.

More of a nail salon than a waxing spot but they did a pretty good job. The sugaring room was…read moreincredibly small. I did my legs here which was fine but if I wanted to do something that requires more precision and care like Brazilian I wouldn't book this place. At the end, all of the wax and powder wasn't removed properly and there was wax on the paper by my feet which ended up getting on me while I was getting up. The nail salon looked nice and I will probably sugar my legs here in the future because it's cheaper and this place feels very natural but I wouldn't recommend a Brazilian.

Katie was my nail technician who did a great job with my cuticles and covering every millimeter of nail with polish. I loved how detail oriented she was. The salon also didn't look or smell like a typical nail salon. It was super cozy with warm lighting, wood accents and a great smelling candle burning. CJ was also very lovely and helpful. She assisted me with choosing between two colors since I had a hard time deciding. I would recommend!

Today they told me they are open at 11 but when I got there at 10:55 there were multiple ppl already in so I had to wait again which I always have to do. They are always overbooked and they can't manage. And then the job was so bad, and when I asked to redo because the gel polish was chipping she burnt my finger. They were so mad even though I gave them 20% tip that they burnt my finger. I think I have to see a doctor now since it's really burning and hurting, please be careful going there as they are so overbooked that they don't care if they burn you.

I absolutely love this nail studio! It's the only place in the city where I know they will do a…read moregreat job and I will leave pleased with my results. I have been visiting them since their opening and I'm so happy to see how they keep growing and will continue to grow. They make sure to set an amazing vibe for all clients, with yummy snacks from China (that I often find myself googling so I can purchase because they really are yummy), tea, great music and even better messages. I recently visited again after a while (I'm in the city part time but it is not home anymore) and as always I have left pleased with my final result and the service they extended. I got this beautiful green color (I'm usually a basic color kind of girl like baby pink, white or just any nude color) but the colors I chose this time made me want to step out of my comfort zone more often and I have been really enjoying green this year, the color looks so much better in person and I'm proud my nails are long enough that I can now enjoy doing different styles with them. Tao Nail Studio ensures that their clients are always pleased with their results and take care of you! Please make sure to always bring cash as it is polite to tip in cash (better for the store and the employees overall). They also have Zelle & Venmo in case you want a quick checkout. For those looking for a cheap manicure/pedicure this is not the place for you, this is a spot where you are paying for exactly what you are paying and it is worth it. Your nails will last anywhere from two-three weeks if you take good care of them and the products are organic so the growth is chef's kiss.

My nail artist let me pick the design and then proceeded to file and e-file my nails and cuticles with care. I picked the abstract nail and swishy mail from their November options. The nails came out nicely done and have been in good shape for about a week. The only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is because the swooshy design lost its definition during the process and I didn't notice til later in the day. See pictured!

NYC is so unaffordable for nails this is unmatched. $75 for sns with extensions and $40 for a gel pedicure with taking off old gel.
