    Bridal nails are perfect! Naza is a true perfectionist. This was my first time at AYA and also doing Russian nails and I am so excited. The manager was also super helpful in selecting the right base color and was very communicative leading up to my appointment. 10/10 experience!

    I've been going to Aya Nail Studio for about almost 2 years. I've seen a handful of their top nail techs and have always had a wonderful experience. The attention to detail and their craft is truly top notch. Today my booked nail tech couldn't make it in and to my surprise the owner, Aya, stepped in for my manicure. I've always felt very taken care of but stepping in like she did really blew me away. It shows great support for her staff as an owner but also to her clients. I'll be continuing to sing high praises of this salon and will always recommend it as my #1 nail salon.

    The service is mediocre in comparison to the prices. Upon booking I was told I would have a top tech (didn't ask for that) and would be charged extra so I expected my experience to be a lot better. My tech cut me twice when removing the cuticle and when i told them they said it's probably bc I've never gotten it done before? I've gotten a Russian manicure before and never bled. My nails do look amazing but for $140 this is kind of insane??? Definitely not worth the price!

    My first Russian manicure with Aya was great however I went to get a pedicure today and it was awful. It was very painful and the aesthetician cut me in two places (one was a deep cut on my toe). Then I checked my pedicure and two nails were (already within a few hours) totally missing nail polish. Very painful and frustrating to spend time and money and get this result. Just hoping it's not infected.

    I have been doing my nails with Aya for over 2 years now. She is always professional and kind. Her service speaks for itself. Her new location is very cute and cozy. You must Book an appt because they book you quick! I have done my nails with Aya, Galina and Lara and all have been lovely, understanding and professional. They offer Russian gel manicure and hard gel. I personally do hard gel since I use my hands often at home etc and my manicure lasts me a solid month! Don't hesitate and book your next manicure or pedicure here- totally worth it!

    Went to Aya's Studio and got the hard gel manicure. I am speechless ! What a transformation, I absolutely LOVE them. Thank You Irina for such stunning work.

    I have been going to Aya for about 6 months now. Asya is my regular nail tech and she is absolutely amazing. My nails have never looked this great!!!! She is so attentive to detail and i'm always so pleased with how they turn out. The studio is very clean, the staff is always kind, and I always feel comfortable there. Love it!

    Fabulous opulent chrome nails! IN LOVE! A bit costly as an upgrade but worth it for my special occasion! OBSESSED with AYA Nails! AWESOME!

    Great customer service & quality manicure! I have been addicted to Aya Nails ever since I tried them last Spring 2023 for a major trip. I have not gone anywhere since. Extremely meticulous detailed work. My gel manicure lasted over 5 weeks! As they got longer I just filed them down and No chipping at all! Costly but worth it (for me)! Not all the technicians have the same skill set so if you find your favorite(s) you have to book your next session in advance! They have a new location with more tables so more opportunities to book. YAY!

It truly creates a relaxing atmosphere. However, I've noticed that the quality of the mani & pedi has declined over the years, which has made me hesitant to return, even though it's in the most convenient location for me. These days when I returned, it's just for last minute color change to avoid more damage. I referred a friend to join me for a mani/pedi once, and she also mentioned that while the ambiance is great, but the owners should get their own mani & pedi done by their technicians, which I completely agree with. While I usually don't like getting my cuticles pushed or cut, I really appreciate that they respected that preference. However, when it comes to removing polish, it's done very recklessly with a lack of attention to detail. On several occasions, they've scraped the skin around the nails--sometimes cutting it to the point where it bled and required a bandage. When I mentioned this to the hostess after she asked for feedback, she dismissed it by saying I have sensitive skin. Since when is it normal for skin to be scraped during a mani/pedi? Additionally, I've had gel mani here twice in a row, and the technician over-shaved to the point where my nails ended up paper-thin that I have to ask the technician to apply extra coats to make up for it. One time, the technician even touched my skin with the machine that is used to shave the gel polish off. I've also had my skin scraped during pedicures, which is concerning. Every time I get a gel mani, within two weeks, the polish would start to lift on the cuticle side, which shows a lack of precision during the application. My friend got a regular mani & pedi here, and one of her nails chipped within a day. While I still love the atmosphere and the owners, the decline in the quality of the services, especially regarding polish removal, nail care, and attention to detail, has made me hesitant on coming back.

The interior design of the space is what pulled my attention when walking up 9th Ave. It is chic yet accessible and never approaches being or feeling gaudy. Very clean look (and space). Great color palate used. Very comfortable chairs. Good use of white space accentuated with green angular paint and golden decals and other ornamentations, all done minimally and with purposeful placement. Carmen (my nail tech) made good efforts and took obvious care to give me a nice buff manicure, all for only $27 (+ a small amount of tax). No nips or cuts. No pain. Textbook technique. Picked up well on when I wanted to zen out to the aura of the space and the well-curated spa playlist vs when I was open to a little nail tech kiki. Loved the sugar scrub they use for the hand massage. I take ownership for not getting the pre-cuticle work nail soak as part of the provided service. IMO, if a nail salon doesn't automatically incorporate the soak into your mani, you as the customer should speak up when the softening gel is pulled out and before it is applied. If they don't offer it? That's another thing. But I didn't test those waters and cannot speak to Nail Me Right (goodness gravy I love the business name!). So, keep in mind if the soak is your thing. They were very accommodating from the moment I arrived until I left. So I have a hunch this request wouldn't be a problem. Same with the end result. You as the customer are responsible for checking your nails / hands / feet / whatever before ending the appointment. I was late for my next appointment and did not, later seeing I would've like a little extra work done where the far end of nail edges meets the finger and a shinier buff applied. Again, I am quite sure Carmen would have accommodated had I done my part and spoken up before leaving. Still, I woke up the next morning to those slight extra bits naturally working themselves out (which points to the moisturizing measures NMR applies being of good quality), and my hand looking nice. I plan to pop in next time I'm in the area and in the market for some nail / hand / foot love, and hope you'll consider doing the same to support this family and what they're working to bring to the neighborhood.
