Cute nail spot by my job that I have been eyeing for a couple of months. They have a pedicure manicure special Monday through Wednesday for $45. I just got a pedicure for $35 plus $2 tax on Monday. The girl Nancy was nice. Now that the weather is warmer in NYC, these places are so packed. I don't know if I would come back. Maybe if I needed an emergency pedicure as I can come during lunch. read more

Within 24 hours of getting powder gel done on my nails they started chipping and within 2 weeks they were completely destroyed. I purposely choose powder because when I researched gel nails it stated powder gel last up to 4 weeks and I choose bijou because a colleague suggested them. I have an office job so they should not chip so badly but every time I looked they would get worse and worse. read more

This was one of the worst salon experiences I've ever had, and it honestly felt like robbery. All that was missing was a mask and a gun--that's how I felt walking out of there. I went in for a basic pedicure--no polish, just cleaning--and was quoted $37. After she started I asked if she could work on my heels. I was told it would be another $10 if I wanted them to actually use a pumice stone on my heels. That's a basic part of a pedicure. Instead, I got nothing more than a foot soak, a little cream, and some oil rubbed on. That's it. The laziness was unreal. And to make it worse, the technician was muttering about me in Spanish, not realizing I speak it too. Absolutely insulting and unprofessional. This place is nothing but a scam, run by people who don't care about service or customers. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Clean, prompt and professional. came in without an appointment for a mani and pedi and was out within an hour. Bonus: mani and pedis are discounted to $42 Monday to Wednesday. read more

I went here because one of my nails fell off before graduation and they had powder fill listed online for $40. I can usually get an acrylic fill WITH designs for $60 maximum but I left with a one color, barely opaque set for $85. Eighty. Five. They even tried to convince me my previous nails weren't acrylic so they could charge me $100. I never ever complain and this is absolutely unlike me but when I say I was bleeding out of every single one of my cuticles afterwards I am not joking. This was a total waste of money and it's a shame because the staff was so kind. Don't come here if you're looking for an affordable set or a quick fix in a crisis. read more

This is the worst quality I have ever seen in the city. I go acrylic tips with gel polish on top and literally within an hour of getting them done, the gel polish completely peeled off and the next morning it came off on another finger. I went back to get it fixed that day (which they did fix right away) but then the following morning the gel polish came off ANOTHER finger on my other hand! Wtf I can't just keep going back to the salon everyday to get it re-done! I will NEVER be going back! It cost me $85 to get my nails done that literally don't even last a day! So terrible! read more

A great little nail salon in Hell's Kitchen. We stopped in for manicures and pedicures for my daughter's wedding. We all were thrilled with the results. Clean and bright salon with very unique treatments just for a regular manicure. Really interesting warm, plastic gloves filled with cream that make you feel like you are at one of the fanciest salons. Reasonable prices, quick service and hundreds of polishes to choose from. Lots of specials Monday thru Wednesday. read more

Mixed review. Sometimes my gel manicure lasts, other times it doesn't even make it a week. My most recent gel mani, one week ago, has peeled on three nails. I also has to ask tech to file rough edges that she didn't notice after final result. Just a bit frustrating at times to spend money with poor results. I've been several times, with no overall concerns and kind enough staff, but hesitant to return due to quality concerns. read more

Always beautiful work. Always a warm and positive attitude. I highly recommend the ladies at Bijou! read more

Bijou Nails - Long almond- shaped neutral-color UV gel manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

This is my designated go-to salon for any service. I usually have a spa pedicure and massage (while nails are drying). Today was especially exceptional; I've had a serious injury since my last visit and had to wait longer than usual to return to Bijou. The staff is always attentive and have a very easy going relaxed style, however, able to multi-task numerous clients without letting any client feel left out or ignored. Jeanette remembered me , and took care of me with such gentle grace - navigating the steps, chair and moving to another location for the massage - all felt painless and easy. So definitely, the staff has an exceptional standard of care. The pedicure itself is exceptional. Jeanette makes sure the nails are solidly dry, however long it takes - and she has an acumen for this. The finished product is very professional and lasts far longer than any DIY attempts. The staff , again , has an exceptional standard for quality and artistic execution. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment. read more

I got a gel manicure on Thursday and by Saturday one nail had already peeled and another nail is almost there. It's way too expensive to have it last for such a short time. This is my friend's regular place but she usually gets a normal manicure. Such a bummer. Update: more nails have peeled - didn't even last a week! Worst gel manicure I've ever had. read more

they literally broke my nail while taking gel off and then tried to blame it on me??? i never leave reviews but this place deserves one. i have been here multiple times because it's so close but every time i question why i came back because they don't do a good job. they don't listen if you say something is uncomfortable or painful. when i was getting my gel off she scraped so hard i told her it was painful and the acetone probably needed to set longer and she said it was almost off and then she broke my nail by scraping it so hard. they also left nail polish on my fingers when they were done and whatever she used to "fix" my nail looks terrible. read more

BEST nails I have ever gotten! I got the Hailey Bieber tik tok famous nails right before I got engaged and I am so in love with how they came out.

Great service and just overall so happy with the quality of my nails. Highly recommend!! Thank you- I will be back! read more

First time here- overall impression is that of a functional nail salon. No frills, but they try to do a few extra things here and there. For example, today my pedicure bath included 2 lemon slices which were used as part of the exfoliation and cleansing. Very refreshing for summertime. Good selection of Essie nail polish. No wait time today. Noticed a fairly decent turnover. The space is slightly cramped, but still decent. The music is good- soft and relaxing. A few Norah Jones tracks were in the mix today. You can add an additional 10 mins of massage for $9 during your pedicure. And if you want a quick dry top coat that is an additional $1. Be careful when they ask you if you want something more since these can add up quick if you unwittingly agree. I especially enjoyed that they used paraffin wax for the heels during the pedicure. Pro tip-- pay cash and they won't charge you tax. Good for saving some $. read more

Bijou Nails - Flip flops on sale $3! So it's ok if you didn't wear pedicure-friendly shoes that day :) - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Just moved to UWS recently and discovered this cute nail place! This is a small salon, but it's a really clean and cozy place. I got a regular pedi and a powder gel manicure and they really took good care of me. Price is super reasonable compared to other places around the neighborhood. As you all know, UWS is not a cheap neighborhood... My powder gel mani is over two weeks old and it's still shiny and no chips so far! Definitely will be coming back! read more

Bijou Nails - Fantastic Powder Gel! - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Unfortunately I won't be returning. I have been at least 5 times since my last review and they never recognize me, they prioritize walk-ins over appointments, they upsell you at every possible juncture (no sign posted anywhere that the lacure brand is $5(!) extra, are you sure you don't want callus removal?, quick dry top coat is a dollar more, etc.), and they don't listen when you say something is uncomfortable or you just don't want part of the service (like the weird lotion gloves that are just wasteful and add no value for me). At best, you should be able to relax during a manicure/ pedicure but my last time here was truly unpleasant. They left the acetone and foil on my nails so long my nails actually curled up until she scraped off the old gel-- it was almost painful and she was too busy filing my nail shape instead of trying to get the other nails' gel off. They also way overcommit, which is tied to the issue of walk-ins vs appointments. If you have six people working and seven clients in chairs, you can't seriously tell every walk-in the wait is ten minutes... the wait can't always be 10 minutes! The math doesn't add up! This just leads to a room full of resentful clients in a bad mood! I ended up rushing out and smudging because I couldn't stand being in there anymore-- an hour and a half for a regular mani pedi with gel removal just on hands. Disappointing because their location and polish selection are good and service prices are ok. read more

I went here on December 4th for powder gel nails. I've had powder gels at other salons and never had issues. This physically hurt...bad. The lady was rushing and pressing way too hard on my nails and I kept saying ouch and moving my hand away. I asked her to please be more gentle and she kept rushing. When I got home all of my fingertips were literally in pain and it hurt trying to write, type or eat for several days. I had to have my husband open a can of soda for me the next day because it hurt so bad. Well today is December 28th and after the gel coming off, you can see visible bruises... 24 days later!!! I can't imagine what they would have looked like right after the manicure. I wish I knew which lady this was because this is dangerous read more

Mani-pedis are $32 as part of a special, MONDAY through WEDNESDAY only. Pedicure includes a short foot scrub and complimentary paraffin heel wrap. They add fresh lemon slices into the pedicure bath, which makes it smell nice and look pretty. Quick dry top coat is a dollar extra though, no biggie. You get a 5% discount if you pay in cash but they do accept credit/debit card for a $20 minimum. The atmosphere is calm and serene with low music playing in the background. The nail techs are all seemingly nice and accommodating, and one of the Korean ladies, her nametag said Sarah, did my nails, was very good, she helped file away old acrylic that were stubbornly stuck on two of my fingernails. A+ for her noticing it before I had a chance to tell her! She also put saran wrap on my feet to prevent them from getting ruined because I was wearing boots. The woes of getting pedicures done in the winter. They offer massages and waxing, and they are fairly priced in my opinion. For the service and atmosphere, I think it's competitively priced, just pay attention to possible extra charges like you should do with all places to begin with. Despite their job as nail-techs they also have to upsell their other services to you, so if you want just a manicure, then say no to any other offers. Don't mistake their offer as a freebie, because it is not unless the word free is included in the sentence. I've come here pretty often, and my most recent trip had me irritated. Thursday midday and walking in there are 4 other women ahead of me, and as I was seated, it just kept getting crowded with more women walking in. It gets very cramped and claustrophobic when there are so many people in the shop. Especially at the drying station. At one point, every nail tech including the head woman in charge was at a manicure or pedicure station. I was just irritated with how you get rushed when a new person walks through the door. I appreciate how they try to be accommodating, but as a customer, if you see its busy when you walk in, I'm pretty sure you know you're going to have to wait awhile. Seeing them rush with each person, including myself, I could see the annoyance building up with one woman who sat next to me at the drying station even though it was a tight squeeze and became uncomfortable. Just hoping that Bijou remembers Quality over quantity! read more

I decided to come here on a Thursday for a manicure during my lunch break since I work around the area. I've never seen such a terrible job done on my nails before. The lady who painted my nails did not bother to cut my cuticles, she quickly painted 2 coats of nail polish on in 1 minute for each hand. The sloppiest and quickest nail job I've ever had. No wonder it's only been 2 days and my nails look like a 5 year old painted it. It looked so terrible that even my boyfriend commented on it saying it looked like glue on my nails. Never coming back here again. read more

Bijou Nails - 2 day old manicure, terrible job - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I had a 2 hour break in between classes, decided to get a mani pedi... I had 2 different people do my nails and 3 different people do my toes, and their pedicure shouldn't be priced at $26 when it's really just soak & polish. No scrub, lotion, massage, etc. UPDATE: checked my credit card statement, and they mis charged me. The board they have says $10 manicure, $25 pedicure, (and I paid for my boyfriends $10 manicure separately) The bill for my mani pedi came to $39 and my boyfriends mani was $10.50???? I wouldn't mind if there was an up charge for using a credit card but there was NO sign and was not said. read more

The place is really small but the service is good. Went in as a group of 6 during mid day and the only had a few people in so we were taken care of right away.

I absolutely LOVE this place! They attended me as soon as I walked in! I got silk wrap nails done, which is awesome that they have that service available since not a lot of salons do.

I felt at home here, they were very nice and I will definitely come back here every time I need to do my nails! read more

1. I have never seen nails done so horrible as in using straight glue and dipping ur finger in powder 2. I spent 70 for no colour and not even nails. Worst. read more

This place is so unorganized. They tell you to pick a color when you walk in, but don't tell you how long is the wait. I waited for 25 mins after picking the color! And the excuse the person gave me is the client wanted a message, which they decided later on. They could have said when someone walks in is that there is a wait time which can take anywhere from 5-20 mins. But they like to have people wait!! And the manager was not even on duty! Very in professional! read more

I paid 80 bucks for a spa pedicure here because I wanted to treat myself during lunch. Anyways, it was the worst one I have ever gotten for a few reasons... The technicians kept laughing and talking amongst themselves as if they had never seen a guy get a spa pedicure. And even worst, she cut me on my big toe and within weeks I developed toenail fungus! And as someone who's always had great hygiene and awesome feet, this is ABSOLUTELY APPALLING! Now I'm paying for expensive medical treatment and have an ugly toenail. Called and requested to speak to management and to this day no one has gotten back to me. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Horrible horrible service - I got a gel manicure and within 12 hours every single one of my nails had peeled off. I called the store and instead asked if I could get a pedicure to be compensated since clearly I didn't want the same mistake to happen and they promised I could / told them when I would come in. I show up and they refuse me service and say all sales are final. Horrible customer service, horrible manicurists who do a terrible job and 1000 percent would recommend elsewhere. The charge more than average and for literally no quality. read more

Bijou has been my go-to nail spot when I'm at work for months now, and this salon is clean, consistent and efficient! On weekdays around lunchtime, I can usually get in and out within 35 minutes. For regular manicures, they'll run you $10.50, but if you pay in cash, you get a 5% discount. They also have manicure/pedicure specials Monday-Wednesday that are worth checking out. Not to mention their pedicures are wonderful. They add slices of fresh lemon to your bath for extra freshness! I will say, though, that I've had different levels of satisfaction depending on which nail tech I have. Try Jin - she's the best I've experienced here. Thorough, gentle and precise! Don't waste your time on mediocre places that charge upwards of $14.00 for a mani around this neighborhood. Try here, instead! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! This place is UNSANITARY and DIRTY! I recently had my nails done (manicure) a few weeks ago per the positive reviews on Yelp and I would never go back, never. My manicurist was nice enough, though she rushed my nails along and did a poor job, she talked the whole time to the gal next to her; she asked if I wanted "top coat", I said yes, then charged me extra (it made no difference) my nails we're done so horribly that you could see where the top coat applied as there were lines all over my nails, it looked AWFUL. That wasn't the worst of it, the tools used on my fingers WERE PULLED OUT OF THE MANICURISTS POCKET, meaning THEY WERE NOT CLEAN OR SANITARY. To top this place off, it's dirty, everything about this place is dirty. DO NOT GO HERE, they should be shut down by the health department. read more

Bijou nails is a great nail salon. It is super clean and everyone is extremely friendly. Relaxing music is playing and it does not have that nail salon smell. For manicures and pedicures they are great. Everyone mani & pedi looks amazing and when your nails are drying they even rub your shoulders. For me ... I get fake nails. I know, I know... tacky. But I have short stubby fingers and I need the fake nails for my hands to look ok. My nails were super expensive and I don't even think they look that great. I guess New Yorkers do not really like fake nails... because I have yet to find a place that doesn't charge a crazy amount of money for pink and white acrylics. So....for mani & pedi... this is your place. I know I will be coming back for a pedicure. Fake nails....try somewhere else...but make sure to let me know if you find a good place!!! (they do take credit cards but there is a $20 min. charge and tips are only accepted in cash) read more

I have been looking for a great salon now since I moved back a few months ago and have been met with failure, after disappointment, after broken nail. I was sick of it. Then, I found Bijou Nails and everything changed. I walked in and was seen immediately even though the salon looked pretty busy. They asked me if they could do my nails first, but I always wreck my pedicure if it's not dry by the time I leave. They were really accommodating and said okay. They really whipped through both my gel nails and my pedicure; I think I was in the salon MAYBE an hour or so. It seemed like a few minutes. I've never had my nails done so quickly or so beautifully. I am blown away by this place. While it's about 10 blocks from my place I'll happily skip over to get my nails done any and every time! I love this place! You can even tip on your credit card, how awesome is that (though they do give a small discount if you use cash!)?? Use this salon, it's the best I've ever found in the city! read more

Soo this review is so so, but more positive:) Positive: My nails turned out pretty. I really liked the girl that did my manicure, don't remember her name:) The staff was nice except I wasn't feeling the manager's vibe too much. negative: It was empty and the manager went wayyy to fast on my pedicure. Like what's the rush there are no other customers. She also nipped my toe but I let that slide. Anyways this is my first time at that salon so the service should have been great. For the price point they have too much competition for me to go back, you can be fast but be accurate and I need to feel relaxed which I did not. However the nail techs were nice and my nails came out beautiful. I still didn't get the experience that I'm used to getting from similar salons. Maybe I could give this place another chance that's if I'm in a rush. read more
