    Beautiful gel manicure
    Lauren E.

    Excellent gel manicure and regular pedicure! Busy and no frills, but the nail techs KNOW what hat they are doing!

    Gel nails still have not chipped a full month after my manicure!
    Jasmine B.

    I got a gel mani and regular pedicure a MONTH ago and my nails have still not chipped!! They clearly use quality product at Coco Young. And the salon is very nice! My nail stylist did a fantastic job. I wish I lived in New York so this could be my regular nail spot. I've yet to find a place in DC where my gel nails don't chip after a week. Highly recommend Coco Young

    Pedi
    Kara L.

    After reading the reviews I decided to give this place a try ...... save your money and go elsewhere! When I was greeted the guy at the front desk asked me what service I wanted and I told him I wanted a gel mani and pedi he was like gel on the toe too and I said yes so I'm in the middle of my pedi and he walks over to me and tells me he doesn't have a regular polish match for the gel and I said no I told you I wanted both gel mani and pedi and then he said oh well you know it's $75 and $45 I didn't ask him what it cost not one time! Not to mention they do not use the sanitary bags in the pedi spa ...... and it's very crowded. When I asked the lady doing my pedi why the man was treating me that way she didn't respond she just looked at me. This experience was definitely less than I expected! I do self love things to relax not to feel the way I did today!

    Gladys is now my one and only nail tech. I showed her a picture of a similar pattern and said 'do something like this with these two colors' and she 'nail'd it'. Also, received a great pedi as well. I will be back. No doubt.

    This is what $100 would get you. Never going back
    Shatina M.

    Worst experience. I tried them out bc my regular salon isn't open anymore. Looks like I have to keep looking. She nipped two of my cuticles. And my nail polish is bleeding over. And I paid one hundred. Smh

    Every time I stray away from this salon to try somewhere new I instantly regret it! It's right up the block from apartment and to my favorite hair/threading salon. This is my go-to nail salon for my gel work and mani/pedi (not an acrylic kind of girl so can't give my review on that)! I honestly don't ever have to make an appointment with a specific person because they all work so diligently! They have a good amount of women working here and for the ones I've received mani/pedis from pay great attention to detail each and every time! This place is honestly my favorite place for pedicures!!! After every service you also receive a quick massage while you dry. The color selection is overwhelming but in a good way! Lol The owner is always there to greet you and treats his workers with what it seems with much respect. The prices are moderate but they do offer specials on Tuesdays/Wednesdays. Keep in mind they are closed on Mondays! It does get busy so walk ins can be a bit of a wait so try to come in when they open or book an appointment!

    Gel maní, reg pedi

    No wonder this place has the best reviews in Harlem! Great owner, positive environment and the woman who did my nails was so meticulous and on point! Give them a go!

    Where do we start with this establishment? I've been coming here for about 15yrs..I was in my mid…read more20's when I was introduced to Cindy & Alex. When I first started coming here, they were very nice. They use to put a lot of effort into their work, The passion was there. However, over the years the quality of service has gotten worst with each passing year. First of all the shop is "Matchbox" size and can hold about 20 people including workers, you would think all the millions she's made there over the years she would have upgraded her space, cause the prices surely have inflated over the years. I use to spend $125 bi-weekly for a full set, pedi, eyebrows and lashes! Now the prices aren't even posted, YOU PAY WHAT THEY SAY! The gel selection is POOR & LIMITED, the "By appt" techs are sloppy and money hungry(Randy cut me twice) Did you know you can get an infection from being cut while being rushed out the chair for the NEXT PAYING CUSTOMER!?? ...But that's the shop as a collective and for the water down gel you slinging, y'all should be a bit nicer(In your profession & manners) There's no amount of wall paper or air freshener that will cover up this scam of a business. Cindy and Alex were a staple in the community, however they are TOO comfortable with mediocrity for me! I'm gonna take my coin downtown for a RUSSIAN manicure, where they cut your cuticles because it's part of the service. Don't EVER think you getting your cuticles cut(UNLESS ITS A PEDICURE) or a massage here!! NOPE! They would NEVER!!! Dishwashing liquid for bubbles, wild cuticles and stomped on GEL... this is not the 80's!! We want our gel PURE.. lol If this was 2001, I would probably recommended this business, but it's 2023..and I wouldn't refer them to my worst enemy! Customer service is key in any thriving business. Avenue Nails on Lexington Ave is lacking in that department. Invest in some NEW GEL ALREADY! Invest in a spot that can hold all 50 of us when you in there being careless and rude! That's the least you could do after all these years. You gonna lose all of your good paying customers soon enough Ms..waited 20yrs to put a credit card machine in the place cause you wanted to avoid taxes!! We're sick of your BAD SERVICE...and I'm so grateful for places like Yelp & TikTok where customers can let others know where NOT to spend our hard earned coin. 0 STARS for me! All good things must come to an end and this is the end for me! FYI.. Top Nails right across the street has plenty of room, a larger gel selection and they cut and massage & it's spotless! Go figure!!!!

    2nd UPDATE - Aug:: Totally forgot review/left it alone. But a month later the owner left me a very…read morerude message saying that I should blame myself. Though I didn't see them thoroughly clean or sanitize anything between customers they simultaneously worked on in that dirty salon. She didn't even apologize for the bad customer service, the state of the place, the length of time it took for basic full set or overcharging for basic services they didn't correctly do. Not deleting this review now. Dear owner, deleted your message and blocked you... good luck sis, stay blessed. UPDATE:: took off my nail and got a freaking fungus infection..... don't go to this dirty salon!!!!!!!!!! First off. It took two hours to get my nails done today. Walked in at 10:30 walked out at 12:30!!!??? Ridiculous. At first told the wait was 15 minutes. But then they take other clients while they do your nails. The place isn't that clean and they charge for dumb things. I paid $10 for nail removal when they did nothing but soak them and I took them off myself. So I basically walked out paying almost $50 for very basic full set acrylics. To add to it the process was so long even after I explained I'll leave with a half job so I could make it to my plane on time.

I got there at 5:45pm for a dip mani and only got someone to soak / remove my previous dip at 630pm. That already had me a bit annoyed because if they knew they'd be overbooked why have that time available ? The lady who did my nails Carmen really didn't seem to know what she was doing with the dip. She kept over applying it and it started to look gunky and uneven. She had to redo a couple nails a few times and she got the powder all over my fingertips and hands. When she finally buffed it out and finished, the color was completely uneven from how much she buffed that it looked splotchy. She also was using a very gloopy bonding agent (making the nails bumpy) and the final coat was diluted so it was not shiny at all. They don't have many options for dip colors so not really sure they're investing in that service much. To top it off she finished at almost 8pm!!! I was not expecting to be there for over 2 hours. I was really upset by the service and had to get them redone at my usual salon a few days later. I don't think I'll be back

This place is on the 2nd floor so you need to go up some steep stairs, once inside, it's a pretty simple yet spacious room. I asked for a regular mani pedi and they told me it was $40, cash only. The person who worked on my nails was very nice, I thought she did a good job at cleaning up my cuticles and scrubbing my feet. I picked 2 different colors for my hands and feet. I thought she did a good job overall but maybe the quality of the regular nail polish is pretty bad because even after I waited quite a while for my nails to dry they still smudged. The polish on my hands has bubbles and just looks very messy once you look at them up close. It seems like most people come here for gel or acrylic so they don't really put much thought into regular polish. I'm giving them 3 stars because the girl was very nice and she did a good job but clearly the polish looks bad. After spending $40, I feel like I could have done my nails myself.

Let's start with the positives. Pros: The inside was really cute and well decorated. The woman who did my toes did a great job and I feel like I was able to communicate well. Also, they have a wide range of colors. They stay open later than most nail shops in the area. Cons: my nails chipped after 2 days!! I got SNS dip powder nails that usually last 3 weeks (when I get them done elsewhere). But when I got them done here, they didn't have the SNS dip powder top coat. So they had to use gel top coat. I told her that that wouldn't work and that she should have told me before that she didn't have the right top coat. But there wasn't much else she could do. And just as I predicted, my nails chipped. They started chipping after about 2 or 3 days with the most basic activity involving my hands. Second con, the price. I paid almost $100 for a regular pedicure and a dip powder manicure. And two acrylic toenails. Overall, I probably wouldn't go here again. But they did do a decent job on my pedicure. ‍
