Very disappointing experience. I arrived at 6:50pm (they close at 8pm) and felt rushed from the moment I walked in. I asked for gel removal followed by a regular manicure, but the technician only removed the top gel polish and left the underlying gel layer, then painted regular polish over it. The result was streaky. When I pointed it out, she insisted it was just the polish and added multiple thick coats and a top coat, but it still looked streaky and chunky. They also require you to tip before your nails are painted so I tipped 20% and was charged for both gel removal and a regular manicure, which made the experience even more frustrating given the result. read more

I was given a $30 gift card for Christmas, which is enough for a basic manicure plus the tip. The location is well staffed and uses single use tools for cleanliness . The young lady behind the desk whose name I did not get , did an amazing service- while manicure is simple, I appreciate that she took her time. The atmosphere was calm and quiet. 10/10 manicure. read more

The person who did my SNS manicure left gaps where you can see my nail. They also charged me an extra $5 without telling me due to my nails being long, which I never heard of before nor experienced at this establishment. Lastly, they said I had no points on my reward card even though I've been using it for the past few months. Will not be coming back or be referring this place. read more

I got my nails done alright at the end of the day but the experience wasn't great. The manicurist rushed and made my nails uneven. She was short and rude, when manicurists are usually more relaxed and kind. I had to really stay on top of the person to get the manicure pedicure I wanted that other places just do without micromanaging, They also charge $20 for the dazzle dry polish for a mani and pedi. You can get this same polish for a Lower price and with just a better experience a few blocks north. I wouldn't go here again with all the other options in the neighborhood. read more

I've gone there a couple of times for SNS dip manicure, and my experiences have been different each time. Mari was good, as was Rosie. One time I went and the owner did my nails. She was rushed and frazzled and it wasn't relaxing at all. Yesterday, Melody did the SNS. My nails looked ok when she finished, but once I left and took a good look at them, she did an awful job. Besides being too thick, there is dip residue under my nail edges (didn't take the time to clean it off) and stuck to my fingertips. Also dried dip powder around my cuticles. Totally sloppy job for $55. I don't plan to go back any more. Time to move on. read more

So I recently moved to the UWS and I've been looking for a salon in walkable distance that didn't make my wallet bleed. I tried this place out and I got a stunning dip powder gel manicure-- but nothing comes without a struggle. My first tech did a good job, but I guess the brush at the end made my nails bumpy and rough to the touch. I didn't notice because I was not touching my still-drying nails, but the owner comes over and exclaims that she had to fix them for me. I really appreciated the attention to detail, but I will say I was disappointed that the first technician was going to send me out of salon with rough nails. After 2 hours, I finally left the salon. It was a long process, but the results were good and I will be coming back! In total for powder removal and powder manicure it was $48 with tax (tip not included) read more

This place is beautiful and the staff is friendly! I've been several time and the experience is always lovely and relaxing but the products they use are the worst!!! It's really disappointing-- they use the lowest quality shellac so after about a week it peels off. It's not the hard long lasting shellac-- it's rubbery and peels at the edges. I went in on Wednesday to get a regular mani and pedi. They told me the only bubble bath they had was in the "long lasting" polish and would cost two dollars more. It's Saturday and 4 of my 10 nails look awful. The polish is falling off!!!! I got a pedi too and they look good. $48 (not including tip) is way too expensive for for a regular mani pedi that doesn't even last a week. This place is brand new so I hope they tighten up so I can go back. read more

I would give zero stars if that was an option. Melody did a horrendous job on my nails which are now throbbing and in terrible pain. I came in for a powder gel manicure. I asked for my nails to be cut. Melody proceeded to cut my nails shorter than they have ever been in my life. She also carelessly cut my cuticles to the point of them bleeding. This was a complete rush job. I called when I got home to let the manager know how upset I was and they couldn't have been less helpful. I've had great manicures here in the past. Avoid Melody at all costs. read more

Just finished a very unenthusiastic pedicure. It wasn't terrible. It just wasn't great, even barely good. I ended up putting lotion on my own feet after we were done. The woman scrubed them and started to paint. I asked if she was planning I'm putting lotion on to which she said after you're done. After we were done I asked again to which she handed me the bottle of lotion to put on my own feet. The 4 min massage was spent mostly by applying the scrub and was lackluster. Hope they improve read more

DON'T GO TO THIS NAIL SALON. They are rude and not well trained. I took my 5 year old niece there for her very fist manicure -- after we waited 30 min, finally it was her turn -- the manicurist was horrible, she cut her cuticle so badly that she was bleeding. They didn't even apologies and still charged me full price. I didn't want to make a big deal in front of my niece as I didn't want to scare her and traumatize her more than she was. If I were alone I would have called the police and press charges. read more

Had a great experience here! You can add the tip to the card too! I got a package: mani, pedi and a 20 min massage. I loved every second! The pedicure water is contained in a plastic bag so no germs from previous customers. The manicure includes paraffin in gloves and again very clean. Everything is sterilized so no germs cross over. Tina is amazing! And the overall experience was wonderful! read more

Needed to get a mani and pedi pretty urgently for a wedding this weekend so I stopped by here and was taken immediately. I got a gel pedicure and an SNS manicure - both came with a complimentary 4 min massage. That was a nice touch. However, this place is quite expensive and they have no price charts on the wall. I was quite surprised at my final bill but I guess I should have asked before sitting down read more

Just another ordinary nail spot with typical service and work quality -- the kind you expect nothing from really other than to walk out with semi decent paint job.. like it's a spot where you drop off your money to fund their business and that is the objective of this typical type of nail shop I speak off. I'm giving 1 star only because the lady did a pretty decent job on my calluses, by some miracle because she really didn't do much. But... Even my paint job was ridiculous. I repainted my nails myself the very following morning with the same color and did a much better job. They did not clean around my nails for excess polish so yah... take a look at my 2 photos. The polish was a sheer color and she did 2 coats, leaving them streaky. I didn't bother to ask for another coat because I was already done with the place. I also redid my toes since I was at it because they were streaky and I could not understand why because my bottle of the same polish does NOT come out streaky at all (and this was at 3 coats). They'll start to chit-chat in the middle of your foot massage and then go into the typical punching of your leg and foot with a closed fist when they're no longer able to concentrate on the work at hand. Something about that has always intrigued me -- there's some sort of correlation between the punching and lack of concentration. Everything is very typical - from rushing you with you to select your color, suggesting colors ("This one is pretty!" - please don't insult people like that), to filling your foot tub with water as soon as you announce you want a pedicure -- and leaving you to dip you feet in what is now luke warm water 7 min later and once you have been forced to JUST PICK A COLOR. Speaking of feet, if I am paying for a service like this, I'd love to enjoy JUST maybe like 5 minutes of it. Is that way too much to ask for? Maybe just let me soak my feet for 5 minutes and allow the skin to relax before you get started? I literally dipped each foot before she slapped the callus remover on them. Since the lotion kept absorbing during my foot/leg rub, she pulled out cuticle oil and used it. Ah. Yah. Women do back massages and it was a total turnoff. They were half-assing it, staring around in all directions, facing some random way while they had an elbow in someone's back. They have packages you can choose from but they had not thought out well combination possibilities. For instance, I wanted a spa pedi but a regular mani, and there was no option. There was a spa pedi and gel mani that came with a back massage also for something like $62, but I ended up paying much more than that for a spa pedi and only regular mani with NO massage. As I kept asking if I could just do a regular mani with the available package instead of gel, they kept saying "but still good price, you get 20% off still" (since everything is 20% off for the opening promo) and I kept saying "WHY would I do that?!" Finally I just gave up and went with whatever. My cost AFTER the discount was the cost of the package that would have given me a gel mani AND A MASSAGE. Why is that so hard to understand?! So now as my water is super luke warm, I ask to add some hot water. Since plastic liners are used (great thing, thank you), she's not able to drain so she scoops out some water to make room for hot water, dumping it into the unoccupied tub right next to me. She did not rise that tub after. 15 min later, they seat a girl in that chair next to me, still never having rinsed that tub from my water she dumped there. Since I have no foot conditions and a liner was being used in her tub too, I struggled with speaking up or just letting it go. I didn't speak up in the end because I was just already completely done and couldn't deal with it. My lady who dumped the water to begin with witnessed the entire thing, she was there the whole time, never stepped away, she knew what she did and what was happening. I won't be returning. Very typical. I knew I was done with the place as soon as they rushed me with the color selection, tried to suggest colors and filled my tub to wait for me. No thanks. Oh and the 1.3 second foot dip and menu options... Nope. read more

Sloppy and rude, don't waste your money. I got a regular manicure and pedicure and it truly wasn't worth it. I asked for my nails to be evened out and said it was okay to cut them to even them out but this resulted with my entire nail being clipped off. I had to stop my manicurist multiple times because she was digging into my nail bed. I addressed some concerns with the manager and showed her where my nails were ragged and my skin around the nails were still ragged (even though I asked my manicurist to trim all skin). The manager looked at my nails and said I had dry skin. Obviously, it's winter, which is why i wanted to get the manicure? There are other nail spots in ten area that do a much better job. read more

A new place. But do not let that fool you. $33 for a pedicure isn't cheap. I was expecting a much better experience and service from a new establishment. Now I know why this salon only has a 3.0 rating. I'm leaning towards 2.5! Energetically lethargic. The service was very basic. The lady who did my nail was lovely....and then I looked down and saw that my toe was bleeding. She barely noticed and offered zero apology. She appeared tired, but cutting into my toe was not acceptable. I will not come back. read more

Went here to get a gel pedicure. It was such a weird experience. I sat down and picked my color and the tech started working on my feet. I asked her what the price was for the service. She said she "didn't know, sorry", so I asked her to find out. She hesitated and got the manager, who also didn't know. How is that a thing? First she told me $90, then the tech said $45. After that the manager looked in the computer, and told me it was going to be $60. I get gel pedicures all the time, that's super out of range when compared to well reviewed salons on the UWS. I walked out and and manager glared at me. Of note, they make it very clear that they only want cash for tips and the credit card minimum is $20. read more

My manicure does look nice, but I'm having odd sharp pains in my nail beds since drying- which are getting progressively worse. I think the cause could be the acetone soak or over filing the nail beds to remove gel. Update after a day they felt fine and look good. My only concern is why it hurt in the first place read more

Super nice and CLEAN place, my technician Jenny was very thorough and did an amazing job. They offer a 7 day guarantee on gel manis so if you chip you can go in within a week and have it repaired for free which is really nice. They had a great selection of colors and the salon was quiet and relaxing. Price is a little higher than other spots near by but it's definitely worth it. I'll be back for sure! read more

I've been here 3 times and 2/3 where really great experiences. AMAZING back massage, and had sent 2 other friends there shortly after, the second time I got a great eyebrow wax and my third time a pedicure. The pedicure was great. My disappointment was how the employee TOLD me how much to tip. The change she gave me would have forced me to leave over a 20% tip. I had some singles in my wallet so I was able to make do and tip her 18% She stopped me at the door and said "we work for tips." I told her I know that, I gave her a 18% tip and she responded with " but we work for tips. 20% tip". I was baffled. I personally have worked in the service industry for over 10 years. I couldn't understand working for tips more. But I have never told someone how much they should be tipping me. She just stood there watching me, go through my Wallet to give her more. Im very disappointed because i thought i found a great new local place. The massages alone sold me. I'm not sure if I'll go back. I honestly felt embarrassed read more

I have never had a better powder manicure in my entire life. Susan was beyond amazing and I will continue to go back to her for the years to follow!!! She was amazing and it was thin and natural and she was so sweet as well. I had the best experience here and have already referred multiple friends to Apple nails as well as Susan. Truly the best. I attached a photo of my nails almost 2 weeks later. Truly the nicest a manicure has looked read more

I've been here for SNS with extensions 3 or 4 times and always walk away happy with the results. Yesterday I wanted to do something a little different and asked for a french manicure with color instead of white tips. Amanda told me that she had only ever done a regular French manicure but referenced the photo I brought in and made it come to life! She worked with me on testing out the right base color and it was a fun process. I was there a little longer than usual so it's definitely not something to do if you're in a rush but she was so meticulous and it came out perfectly! It was also more expensive than the regular SNS with extensions but having a membership card knocked off at least $10 so it's worth it to have if you come here often enough. I also always find everyone here to be professional and have never had any issues whatsoever. I think everyone probably appreciates cash tips but they always give you the option to tip on your card as well. Highly recommend! read more

I wanted to love this place. It's new. It's huge and with the lack of nail salons in the area who can do a good SNS job I had my hopes high for this place. Yet another let down that cost me 80 bucks. I got a regular pedicure and SNS set. The pedicure was fine. The SNS powder manicure was probably one of the worst I've had in the city. Within two days of leaving the salon I broke two nails. 2 nails cracked and 2 nails are already lifting. LIFTING?!? that's absolutely horrible within a week. That's less than a week after I had them done and 6 of my 10 nails are in terrible condition. Went back and had three of them fixed and got lectured that my nails are "too long" and that was the problem. No, if you knew how to do long nails we wouldn't be having this problem. Unfortunate, just another nail salon that charges too much for SNS and can't even do a decent job. read more

Two words OVERPRICED and OVERATED!!! I came here for a manicure and pedicure on Saturday and was shocked at the 60 price tag that came along with it. The location is absolutely beautiful and the Mani and pedi was quite good from Maya but I will not be returning unless I am completely desperate. The thing that was most appauling was when I was sitting at the dryer drying my hands and feet and they proceeded to sweep the floor and the dirt got in my shoes..I gave her the look of death. They are not friendly and the entire staff looks unhappy ..I wanted to try them since they were new and if my regular Mani and pedi place was crowded I would have a place to go. I'm good I will stick with my normal place and pay $42 for amazing service. read more
