I stopped by after doing some shopping around the salon. Walked in & was seated right away. My nail tech was super sweet and took her time with my nails. I loved her detail on each one. Can't wait to be back :)! 10 out of 10 nail salon read more

I came in for a pedicure and they were so kind to remove a polish that had destroyed my nails that took much longer than anticipated and kept them past close! Not only that, they explained everything to me, gave me tips for how to take care of it, fixed a broken nail (at no added cost), and then even when I left after close chased me down a few blocks away because I had left an AirPod behind. The kindest best experience. Go here! read more

I wish Yelp allowed zero stars. Even if it did, I'd give Six Nails Salon on Thompson Street -100 stars. They are awful. I booked a pedicure earlier this week for Friday at 11:45 AM. Today, I started getting texts that they moved my appointment to 12:00. Then I got another message asking for my ETA, followed by more messages changing the time again, first to 12:22, then 12:23, then 12:25. At that point, I had no idea what my actual appointment time even was. I told them I could arrive at 12:15 or earlier if needed, but the constant changes made it impossible to plan. I canceled because the whole thing was so disorganized. Then they told me I was a "no-show" for my original appointment and said they would charge a cancellation fee, even though they were the ones repeatedly changing the time. Completely unprofessional. Poor communication, no respect for your time, and chaotic scheduling. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I went to New York for an Event/Solo Trip for myself & came in as a walk-in & I had the most lovely experience! Everyone who worked there was super accommodating, very polite & the atmosphere was very relaxing! I asked for a gel manicure with milky pink nails & they were able to test & find the perfect color to match my needs! Camilla was the one who pampered me & when my nails were completed, I was super happy! I didn't want just my bare for this trip & for her to add that touch of color made such a difference to my outfit & made everything special that day. Thank you so much for making my trip to New York 10x more special with a lovely service & kindness. read more

I was in the neighborhood and wanted a classic manicure and pedicure. The space is beautifully designed and calming. The prices might be higher than what you'd expect...but it's worth it! The products they use are great. The nail technicians are very precise. The photo is after a few days of deep cleaning around the house and office work. Would definitely return the next time I'm in the neighborhood for some rest and relaxation. read more

I was in NYC as a tag-along wife for a week and decided to get my nails done. Chose this place because of the location and the online reviews (thank you to those of you that take the time). A number of reviewers talk about how pretty it is - It IS pretty! They put thought into more than just the decor, they've separated the bathroom door from the rest of the floor so that you don't feel like you're on top of the bathroom. The chairs aren't the most comfortable, but they set you in the perfect position to get your nails done AND they match the decor, too. You can book online, which is convenient. I don't think I realized it, but I must have booked the first appointment because no one else was there, but they trickled in after I got there. The online booking must be to make sure they have your credit card number in case of a no show, because I gave my name when I walked in the door and I was asked what I was there for (in her defense, there was no one behind the desk and the gal happened to be walking by the door when I went in). I couldn't remember the name of what I signed up for, so said something like "rose something - a gel manicure" (checking now, it was the Rose Spa Gel Manicure). I ended out getting a simple gel manicure, which is fine because that's all I was charged for (although that 10 minute hand massage would have been wonderful). I got gel and was pleased with the quality of the product and choice of colors. My nails look fantastic. I would like to mention that I usually hate it when the place trims the cuticles, because they quite often over do it and take off the layer that protects you from bacteria and infections. I let her do it, because I've been negligent at caring for my nails for about 4 months, she did a good job and only cut off that sort of invisible layer that she'd scraped off before the trimming. If I'm in the area I would definitely go again. Thank you for reading my review. ETA - I neglected to say how clean the place was. The whole time I was there, there was cleaning going on. Wiping down the cushions, filling bottles, etc read more

Update: I was invited back for a redo free of charge and received an excellent quality manicure, which is what I am accustomed to from this nail salon. I'm glad they were able to rectify that one bad experience because every time I had gone to A6 before that, I received a perfect manicure every single time. It's also nice to see they value long-term clients. A6 is my favorite nail salon to go to in Manhattan and I'm happy they were able to regain my trust because I think it would've been difficult to find a salon with as clean, precise, and high quality manicures. Does this manicure look worth $100 to you? I don't think so. The nail tech kept filing away at my nails after I repeated more than once that I want to keep them long. She did such a messy job with the polish and the tips of my nails feel rough and not smoothed out. So disappointed. I've been going to A6 since 2018 and this is not what I expected in terms of quality. read more

Came in as a walk in. A very small shop but filled with super cute decor. The girl asked me what I wanted and she did exactly what I asked for. She took her time to make sure every was even and nicely painted. Ahhmazing job. Customer service is 5/5 It is a little pricey but the care they put in justifies the prices for me. Let's see if it stands the rest of time now. If not, I'll be back to update. But I'm a very happy girl at the moment ---UPDATE! Less than 2 days have past my nails have been chipping. So much so That I went back and painted over the chips myself with my gel set. What a shame. read more

I got a manicure and pedicure there 12 days ago. They really trimmed my cuticles in a way nobody does anymore. And the polish is still on and near perfect. I have one chip on my thumb. That is remarkable. I don't know if it's the Zoya polish (I usually use Essie) or their technique but it is excellent. read more

They make so much efforts cleaning your nails, less attentions in painting gel nails. She apply gel so thin, and start cracking in 2 weeks.

Lovely nail salon! The interior is designed so beautifully, mostly wood and a lot of pothos - so different from the usual salon. I made an appointment thru Yelp message and had no problems. Powder soak off and actual manicure were great. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and Hailey did a test example on one nail and it came out exactly like the reference! Super happy with how my nails turn out, was well worth the price :) read more

I had an excellent manicure with May at A6 Nails today. She did a lovely job, very gentle and a beautiful job on my nails. What a sweet little place it is, on Thompson in Soho. It is a warm setting with softer lighting and lots of greenery and an eclectic feel. Jazz and big band is playing softly in the background. Look forward to the next time. Thanks, May! read more

I don't usually come to this place to get my nails done but I needed to get a fresh set prior to a trip and my usual nail girl had some complications with her scheduling. The reviews seemed alright so I decided to stop by because I needed to get my old hard gel set removed and then wanted to get a fresh gel set. The ambiance of the nail salon was nice, but the first major red flag was that the girl helping me used the roughest nail bit on the drill to remove my old set. I was a bit hesitant since my normal nail girl doesn't use such a rough nail bit and will take her time removing the hard gel, but she said it was the "only way" to get rid of the hard gel. I wasn't aware at the time, but I realized that she went all the way down to my natural nails with the rough nail bit because my nails are now so frail and extremely weak. The shaping and cutting of my nails was also off. Some nails were left longer than others and I felt like everyone was rushing so they could go home. Normally my nails are strong and do not bend whatsoever even with hard gel removal. It's only been a week since the manicure and my nails are chipping because my natural nails were so damaged from coming here. I will not be coming back and I don't suggest anyone come here if you want anything more than a plain, basic manicure. read more

This was one of the best pedicures I've ever had. I was overdue! The salon is very small- I would suggest making an appointment- especially if you're trying to make it for happy hour. The service included a nice massage and very thorough scrub- I'm writing this review 2 weeks after I received the pedicure and my feet still look fresh read more

I want to like this tiny nail salon--it's tucked away on a side street in SoHo and seems very sweet--but I am not thrilled with the consistency of their service. The first time I went, I was treated to my choice of a hot and cold drink and my gel mani pedi was done with great care. The second and third times I've gone, the manicures felt rushed and my nails chipped within a few days. The store also looks a bit neglected--cabinets show signs of wear, for example--not the classy artsy vibe I think they are going for. Not sure if I'll go back. read more

Needed my nails done, searched nails salons in SoHo and came across A6. The shop was pretty small, but the plants were a nice touch. Saw the prices were a bit high but I figured it would be a great job. I was definitely right! Her attention to detail was amazing. She spent time even though I was the last client in for the night! Didn't feel rushed at all, will definitely be back! read more

I choose this salon because I'm pregnant and I was looking up articles that recommended this salon because they use Zoya nail polish and the service is great. Everything was going great until my manicure. Because I'm pregnant and covid, its important that everything is clean and sterilized. After cleaning my nails during the manicure, the manicurist used the same towel that my hands were sitting on while she was cleaning it to wipe my nails. She proceeded to then lotion my hands. Every other salon would get a hot towel or a new towel. I don't think it's sanitary to use the same towel that my hands were on while you're cleaning my nails on. Then the worst part of this is when I went to tip. I paid card even though they ask for cash or Venmo because I didn't have either. I tipped her $5 which I feel like now I shouldn't have tipped shit excuse my language. Here's why... the woman who was checking me out laughed when I tipped. I said is everything ok? She keeps looking at the tip amount and is laughing and is like "I guess." I walked out gracefully even though I should've told them about themselves. This is extremely rude. I understand your salon is in Soho and it's an upper class neighborhood but your service sucks. read more

Generally I avoid engaging or responding to this kind of behavior, but the owner's response was simply unthinkable. She not only stalked my yelp profile, but also analyzed and judged my reviews. She also completely invalidated my personal experience, for which she was not even present for. I understand people getting defensive about their business because it's their own, but once you start correcting unhappy customers one by one and telling them why they are wrong, that business will only go so far. Furthermore, this natural nail polish is low quality as many others have stated in their reviews. Mine started to look bad and it started cracking and chipping a few days in. I had to go get another one somewhere else soon. A pretty room does not make up for bad customer service, low quality products, and unprofessional management skills of the owner. read more

I just moved to Manhattan from Brooklyn and needed to find a nice go-to nail salon. I hadn't gotten my pedi done in maybe a month (really needed one!) so I went on Yelp and found A6 Nail. I was able to book my appointment with them on here and change the appointment time to arrive earlier the day of. The salon is small but well organized and cozy. My pedi was quick and efficient and my tech did a great job! I also love that it's in a quiet part of soho so I will def look forward to visiting again soon for a mani. read more

Definitely stop by this beautiful nail salon in Soho that just opened last month! Booking the appointment was quick and convenient through Yelp. On top of great decor, the service is immaculate. I was looking for a color that wasn't stock in gel, and the owner helped me mix the color herself and my nails turned out AMAZING. So far, still no chip! Think I've found my new place! Also, they're offering 30% off of all services during their soft opening which won't last long! read more

So my nails make me feel like Ursula which im not super happy about. That's on me though for choosing the color; I don't think the Zola bottle translated well into the color I was expecting when painted on nails. I had an express mani / pedi - was done in 30 minutes. It's great when you don't have much time because theyre efficient. I was also coordinating with Hailey for an appointment over Yelp and she was pretty accommodating with the changes in schedule. Also, the night before, I sliced my nail so my left thumb looks like layered nails but my technician did a great job covering it up so the polish looks natural. Would come back to try their nail art! read more

Cute ambience and great location but extremely over priced for the quality of service. My pedicure was very generic and she did not pay attention to my feet at all. Worst of all, she cut the skin around my toes and it was a very deep cut, there was blood coming out. The skin stung the whole time as she applied nail polish remover and nail polish and it continues to get worse. The pedicurist did not take very much care and was overall disappointed. read more

Very pricey! Went in for what they call an "express" pedicure. Buyer beware this is NOT a pedicure. It's everyone else's color change for $30!!!!! She just cut and shaped the nail. I could have done it myself!! read more

A6 Nails use to be my favorite spot for a gel manicure in the city, but I was pretty disappointed the most recent time I visited. The gel manicure is quite pricey ($48 + $10 charge for gel removal), but for the past 4+ times I've been, I've had amazing results. The nail salon is decorated well and very soothing. The technicians definitely pay a lot of attention, and I've always loved the results. I've always called to make an appointment, and they've always been very accommodating. However, this last time I went was quite a let down. I got a beige neutral color, but the paint was sheer, even after 3 coats. It was also applied unevenly, where I can see the different layers where some are thicker in some places than others. Plus, the polish application left a weird gap near my cuticle area, where I could still see my natural nail (making the polish look like it had grown out a bit, even though I had just got it done that day). I also brought my friend, telling her this was my favorite nail salon in the city, for her regular manicure to smudge + chip by the next morning. read more

Cute shop. Walked by for years. Was looking forward to a relaxing treat. Expected so much more given the reviews. While the pedicure itself was fine and done with Zoya polish as expected, the experience was disappointing. This place is small and they are often busy. The tight pedicure station (enough for max 3 people at a time) was a rigid bench with pillows that looked as if they'd seen better days. The woman at the desk was cold and kept wandering away with her phone. The staff looked miserable. Barely soaked for a minute and everything seemed rushed. A fraction of time was spent on callus removal, lotion etc. compared to other SoHo salons. Tech asked if It would be OK if to only file nails (agreed) but was aggressive with the clippers. Went to the drying station and it was like they forgot about me. No setup, no back rub, no magazines/drinks (looks like the tea people raved about being offered here is long gone), no checking on polish dryness, no finishing oil etc. The technician never came over again. Staff didn't even bring over a bill. After waiting for ages had to unravel the paper between my toes and remove myself. Got up and walked over to find an employee to ask if I could pay. The posted prices are for cash only and it's not very clear (looked like the special package prices were cash only). If you want to pay by credit card the prices for all services posted are higher. ~$60 for a basic pedicure not including the tip. Woman at the desk (not the tech) pushed for cash for service and tip. I've had much better service (quality and hospitality-wise) at places significantly less expensive in the neighborhood. For the price, all you get here is a very basic no frills. pedi and brusk service. Truly surprised this place has so many glowing reviews. read more

Do you know how hard it is to find the right nail salon? For the men reading this review, it's comparable to finding that one barber who cuts you just right....you'll drive miles for that cut right? Bet, this is the same thing! My Queen and I tried multiple spots in JC and they all fell flat, we even went to some tried and true spots in BK but even they disappointed us. We didn't give up... well she didn't lol, I just bought new nail clippers and called it a day. Nah my Queen did her research, called around, asked friends, and all that hard work found us a salon that does it all... just 20mins away. The staffers are courteous and professional, they offer advice on mani/pedi packages that fit the customer needs, they even help keep your nails healthy. This was an amazing experience. Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Location/Distance: 5/5 Parking/Train: 4/5 read more

Probably the worst mani I've ever had. Where to begin... I chose a pale pink with glitter on top and the tech made the polish so thick it was horrible and the pointer finger had to be redone 5times. After I left I had to return a few hours later bc it still hadn't dried and I scuffed my nail when I went back they were fine with it. But the biggest problem is their lighting. It's so dark u can tell what the colors really look like unless u go outside So she redid my nail with a nude and silver sparkle which turned the nail like a blue tone instead of the original colors I had. So I had a mismatched nail. Oh well that wasn't the problem. The biggest problem was that after all that they chipped the next day. My toes aren't as bad but the tips of the big toe are starting to slowly make their way out. I had them done Wednesday it's now Sunday. By Thursday my fingers were chipping by Saturday I just took off the polish. $60 for happy hour isn't worth more than an $8 mani. Just saying Venue is really cute and they'll serve some tea. read more

They do an AMAZING job at A6! Seriously, never in my life have my nails looked so good but also strong and healthy. Their soft gel is so gentle that your nails aren't stripped every time you change colors. The place is clean with a great peaceful aesthetic, gorgeous plants, lovely jazz music and kind staff. Cannot recommend this place enough, it may cost a little more than other places but trust me it is worth it :) read more

What a lovely little spot for a pedicure by a very friendly staff that is bilingual. I had an appointment but arrived early and they took me anyway.

This nail bar is so serene- it's quiet, filled with plants, and hot tea is Your's to drink. It's a great place to relax while getting your nails done. A nice afternoon getaway. I loved the aesthetic, which made the prices worth it for me. It was a tad pricey (approx $50 for a gel manicure, when at home in Atlanta this service would normally be $35), but it didn't bother me. My nails did chip kind of quickly, however. Would recommend! read more

Just got my nails done here. I love it here. Tiny little place near Soho. Everyone was pleasant and definitely does not smell like a typical nail place. Thank you to the girl who took the time to do my nails. I would give a full 5 star if it wasn't for the comment the girl made before I left. She made a small comment after she finished. The comment she made was that designs like this is a waste of her time, in Chinese. I fought the urge to speak in Chinese while I was there. Those who work in front of customers should really be careful of what they say because you never know if they understand the language. To be completely honest, I would've accepted if she suggested a different design that would not "waste her time". Overall, it was a pleasant experience and great work. But it's that minor comment that made me quite annoyed. read more

A6 Nail - SoHo - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I have been writing Yelp reviews for quite some time now, and this is one of the kinds that really leave me all sorts of conflicted. Up until the last few minutes of my manicure I was ready to give A6 Nail either a 4 or 4.5 star rating, but then events took a turn that, while not egregious, was enough to knock the review down to 3 stars. A manicure, you see, is not a good place for surprises. A6 Nail is nestled in one of the calmer streets off Houston and part of the reason I went to it was the out of the way location. Mobs of tourists were invading lower Manhattan and if I had to put up with ONE more slow walking group of people fanning out to block an entire sidewalk... *Ahem* A6 Nail is absolutely gorgeous. These folks did not just slap a fresh coat of paint on some brick and call it a day. The front has beautiful wood shelves with plants on them. Their lamps are whimsically covered with silver cans at the end. The coat hooks are actually pipe fixtures mounted on a wood panel. The downstairs area has a *wall of flowers* for selfie and photo ops. It is a modern and attractive business that draws the eye. Everything started well enough. I did not have to wait for a manicure so I sat right down. I was offered a drink but politely declined. And so my technician went to work. No chit chat, barely a hello - but hey, this isn't my first rodeo. I've had nail technicians who were chatty and others who were very shy. It's no big deal. What mattered is how she worked, and she was good. When she was working on my cuticles, she knew just the right amount of strength to apply. Her technique was quick, efficient but she didn't rush (that usually leads to cuts). I was grateful for this. Towards the end of the manicure, something felt "off". I realized that she was getting up and putting her stuff away but she had not yet done the step where they wrap cotton around a stick and disinfect the areas around your fingernails. The cotton was right there on the table, but it had not been utilized. I thought this might be a stylistic choice (even though literally almost every other manicure I've ever had included this step). So I waited for her to come back with the hot towels and was about to put my hands together expectantly when she said "All done!" and looked at me like I should leave. "What about the hot towel?" I asked. What followed was a strained explanation that the hot towel machine either did not exist or was broken (I honestly was not sure which). She handed me a folded up Bounty towel and told me that was just as good. I wiped my hands and decided to wash them thoroughly in the bathroom downstairs. Then came time to pay, and my manicure came out to $25 before tax! Now, keep in mind, I'm getting the basics here. Cut, trim cuticles, trim skin around the edges on the fingers, lotion, buff and done. I did not have any gloss or color applied. I can honestly tell you outside of a spa I went to once in LA, this was the most expensive manicure I've ever had. There is literally a place about four blocks away that charged me about $10 less last year. This was the last straw and even as I paid, I thought to myself "This was a 4* experience up until the last few minutes." I did not see any price list up on the walls (I could have missed it) so if you go to A6, I *highly* recommend you get a detailed breakdown of what you are paying for. Just be aware it will likely be higher than you might expect. There is nothing particularly wrong with A6, but I honestly felt like I overpaid for a service that fell short of my expectations. read more

Obsessed with my new gel manicure! I got a sparkly fade and it's so pretty! The owner is super sweet, she came out and did my nail herself. Overall this nail salon is very clean, the ladies there are all super sweet and have great attention to detail. 10/10 would come back again! read more

I really want to like this spot, but they don't seem to ever get designs right. They're super attentive and patient though. I would recommend if you just want to do a solid color with no designs. Their gel work lasts long and I believe they put a base layer that protects the nails, which I appreciate. It's really dark in there- so I feel like if they used better lighting, it would help them in the long run with seeing what they're doing. read more
