Giving 3 stars - even though it was a good price, my gel nails started to peel off after 11 days :( details below - Time - Took 40 minutes Price - $39 total not including tip Appointment - Yes make one if you can ( I got a Afternoon time slot when called in AM at the same time) Lots of regulars which tends to mean the salon is busy during peak hours like lunch and evening Atmosphere - a quick / no -frills salon Reminder - you can use card for both service and tips, but it might be separate transactions read more

Staff and owner are wonderful! My nails, not so fantastic. But the owner contacted me after hearing about my complaint and spoke with me and made it right. Customer service is everything now a days. And Wendy who did my nails was very easy to talk to, gentle with my hands and did beautiful nails. Sadly my gel tips fell off after day 7 and chipped after day one.... Do with all that what you will! read more

I'm pretty selective when it comes to nail salons but Danfe Nails has exceeded my expectations. Not only are they meticulous, they are also so kind and truly take care of their customers. They always take the time to remember your name and go above and beyond to ensure that you are happy with your nails. Example: Lola did a phenomenal job with prepping my nails and giving me a dip manicure, perfecting every nail along the way. Unfortunately, I had a little bit of cracking within the week after (first time that happened) and she took the time to completely re-do the cracked nail AND filed/put a nicer top coat on all my other nails. They are truly wonderful and are my go-to in the UES. read more

I'm new to the neighborhood and have been loyal to my nail place for 4 years but I decided to give this place a go and was extremely pleased. The prices were very reasonable; the salon was very clean and comfortable. My technician was super thorough, she didn't rush through my mani pedi like a lot of places do and I LOVED how she shaped my nails. The final test will be how long the gel lasts but overall everyone was very friendly so I was happy with the service. read more

RACIST - serviced white walk-in customers instead of me with an appointment I arrived on time for my appointment. A technician checked out my nails, told me to sit down anywhere and pick my color, and she'd be right with me. There seemed to be two available technicians at the time. Then two white ladies walk in with no appointments (I heard them say so). They were told to sit down and were immediately serviced. I waited 20 min sitting with my color picked but it was clear that no one was going to help me or was even close to finishing their service. I asked the original tech who greeted me how long of a wait it would be. She said another 20 min, which would be 40 min total from my appointment time. She suggested I leave and come back. Why should *I* leave when I had an appointment, over people who walked in?! I was the only non white person in the store so that's the only reason I can think of for this abhorrent behavior. As for the place itself, it looked dingy, they didn't use new tools/files from what I saw, and the color choices were limited - only one "ring" of colors for dip. read more

Getting my nails done is the one thing I do for myself every couple of weeks. I am so glad I found Danfe -- I get a reliable gel manicure and spa pedicure and am never disappointed. They recognize me, what my "usual" is, always remember to track my punch card and even gave a gift around the holidays! Good business! Please note: they take their time, never rush and always know to offer a shoulder massage. This is something I really love and appreciate the length of time I am there. Everyone on staff is kind and efficient. The salon clean and intimate. It is a relaxing time to myself that I look forward to! Miss you all during this time -- cant wait to come back. read more

Came on the Monday before Thanksgiving to have my dipped gel manicure removed and a regular gel manicure applied. The service was prompt and friendly--I was very happy the technician was so patient removing the thick layers of dipped gel by soaking my nails and not rushing the process by overfiling. However, the regular gel manicure that was done afterward was very subpar--maybe the worst manicure I've ever had by a professional. The color was bumpy and polish messily applied over my cuticles and onto my fingers even. I was pretty shocked but didn't have time to stay and ask for it be redone. On top of this, a week later it peeled off one finger already. What a disappointment. read more

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name... and here on the Upper East Side, that place is not a bar but a nail salon! Walk in and all the ladies will greet you by name, the selection of colors is unbeatable, and a spa mani/pedi is only $26.50. Need more incentive? They give you a short massage both during the manicure and while you're drying. I experimented with many salons during my time in this neighborhood but Danfe had me at "Hello,Jenny" and continues to keep my loyalty after three years of bimonthly mani/pedis. read more

In an area with an abundance of nail salons where it seems like there is at least 3 per block and a new one constantly opening, it is hard to pick where to go. Let me make that decision easy - GO HERE! This is my go-to nail salon in not only the UES, but the entire city. Walk-in's welcomed here, I have actually only walked in before, and they take me pretty much right away every time, they are open pretty late till 9 pm, so I can go after work and I after I have done errands and things like that, they do a great job, they are very nice and they are SO SO SO affordable. The prices of this place are the absolute best, you will not find better prices anywhere else. They do $25 mani-pedi, a regular mani is $9, a regular pedi is $20! I typically always get a mani-pedi when I come here, which is what I got last night. Like how unbelievable is that. I can't say enough good things about this spot. It is not the most fancy/luxurious, it is small but it is nice and they do a great job. This is about 4 blocks from my apartment, and I always would rather come here, than go to the ones on my block! I have never had their gel or powder manicure before, but I saw someone getting powder yesterday when I was here and it looked great. Not sure on the price of that, but I'm assuming it's a pretty fair price, so think I will come back and try that next time! read more

Why go to Danfe when there are sooo many nail salons in the UES and three within a block? because it's the best mani pedi around and most affordable. Lola and her long-time staff of manicurists are lovely, cheerful people-- they know everyone's name and children or jobs, so it's a warm family feel in the salon. They pay careful attention to any torn cuticles or other issues you might have. I've been coming here for years as have friends in the neighborhood. When I've had to get a manicure out of town on a trip, I've always been disappointed in comparison to Danfe! The salon is very clean, and although it's neither new nor fancy decor, the equipment is new and clean, and there's an array of great colors and options for gel and waxing services. The women always include a complimentary shoulder massage as your nails dry. If you have time, get the relaxing massage in one of the massage chairs. You will leave happy and refreshed! read more

As I got bored with the single color, I asked for an ombre at a random chop shop one day, which was a BIG mistake. Please see the first two pictures. I thought to myself that I might not be able to find someone to do nail designs until I saw my best friend's nails and was introduced to Miki. After going to Miki, my nails became so strong and long, and people are always surprised when I tell them they are my natural nails, with no extensions or anything over them. Miki brought all my nail design visions to life. My question wasn't if she could do it but which five nail designs I wanted to pick that day. She did my nails for my engagement, bridal, wedding, and baby shower, and I would not trust anyone else to do it for all my special occasions. I highly recommend her and trust me; you will not be disappointed.

The solBella was meticulous in removing the builder gel from my nails but not filing down too much. Then she shaped my nails like a pro and applied gel polish. I'm hopeful the gel will last well.

I believe my girl was Jessie, and she was superb. She gave me exactly what I wanted (keep my natural short, round nails) and took extra care with my sensitive cuticles. The pricing is just about right for the neighborhood. Quality manicure! The polish is expertly painted to all edges of my nails (other salons may sometimes leave a small sliver of untouched nail on the parallel sides). Also received complimentary travel bottles (glass! Nice!) for being a first time patron. I will be returning.
