Cute nail spa that's located nearby my best sis's apartment. We came there together but we booked the reservation two days ahead via phone call. And I highly recommend book the reservation before visit so you don't have to wait unnecessary times there... We spent $95 including tips. I LOVE spending time with my sis and relaxing in Nail Spa. Getting a different nail style also makes me feel refresh. Technician is detail oriented and efficient. Pretty good! read more

Have been here twice with back to back unfortunate experiences 1) ended up bleeding multiple times. girl doing my nails also disappeared for 20 minutes at one point without explanation saying she'd be back and left me waiting 2) polish ended up being put on very uneven/especially angled oddly at the top of each angle Really unfortunate read more

Walked by and decided to stop since I needed my nails done and it looked like they could fit me in as a walk-in. I got a mani and pedi. Gel on my toes and Russian gel on my fingers. Total (cash) was $147, on a card would have been $154. Both technicians were great. The massage aspect was very nice, feet, hands, and shoulders. The only feedback I have (like many others) is I wish they didn't just use the shaver to get the existing polish off. It definitely hurt. I also had a crack on my thumbnail and asked for them to cover it with acrylic and she just used superglue, so that was a little disappointing. The finished nails were done well enough though. With all of the different nail salons in the area, I probably wouldn't return unless I was desperate last minute and couldn't get in anywhere else. read more

Dream Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Terrible experience. My nails are in pain after a removal and my fingers are pruning. And it took an hour and a half.

I got a regular manicure, it was pretty standard but there was about a 20 minute wait. I asked if they had time for a manicure and they said yes, I wish they had just been upfront about the wait. They were apologetic after the fact. The manicure didn't feel rushed which was appreciated. It was $18 for a regular manicure which is a bit steep in my opinion. The place is a bit messy but didn't feel dirty if that makes sense. I don't know if I will go back considering one of my nails already chipped (could have been my fault) read more

Unfortunately mine and my friend's experiences here were not great. Our fingers were roughed up and slightly bleeding, with uneven filing. Additionally, my gel manicure was a bit too thick and her manicure was patchy and rough. The polish was not smooth. My pedicure is decent on the polish, however the experience of it did not live up to price points I usually pay elsewhere. The vibe of this place is decently quiet, they have comfortable chairs, docks for your phone, and there are specific chairs with fans for your hands to dry. My friend has had a great experience here before, but I think it's based on who may be doing your hands. It seems that Yenny is the go to person here! read more

Went to this place due to convenience as it is close to where I live. I've gone in the past and noticed the meritocracy, but it's fair for the price. But this is probably the worst manicure I've ever had -- I got the common combo of funny bunny and bubble bath for a gel manicure. I got this manicure on a Tuesday and noticed right away it was bubbly and honestly a bit sloppy around the edges but let it go because I'm really not that picky when it comes to nails. However, it was peeling by Sunday hanging on by a thread and chipped by Tuesday. My gel usually lasts me upwards of 3 or 4 weeks so this is unacceptable. I have a black tie event to go to this weekend and hoped these would at least last until then. I will not be returning to this establishment. read more

I used to like this nail salon and go weekly because of its proximity to my children's school. This week the nail technician cut the skin around my toe so badly that it ended up getting infected. I had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics and possibly go back to get it drained. I got a mani pedi Friday and by Friday night my toe was throbbing. This was NOT the first time they have cut me while trimming cuticles. Now that I think of it the nail technician (i hardly ever see the same person) usually cuts me just about every time. Otherwise they do a nice job doing my nails but I'm going to steer clear for a while or if I have no other choice I'll tell them not to cut my cuticles. If you go it's safer to tell them to just push back your cuticles. read more

This place is fantastic, Clean, excellent customer service, and detailed. Rita took her time with my nails which I appreciated, I hate being in a rush!

My roommate and I moved in 2 months ago and were looking for a new nail salon in the area. We walked in without appointments, they took us right away but it was not a great experience. Both of us got dip powder. The technician used the electric file and literally burned my nails I squealed in pain. They only did 2 layers of dip powder; it's been 5 days and my powder is already breaking off, usually lasts me 3 weeks. Disappointed :/ read more

Dream is now my go-to nail salon in the Murray Hill area. The staff is great and friendly. Vast selection of Essie colors. They offer a loyalty program that gives you $5 off, after your fifth visit. In comparison to other salons in the area, the prices are right. My favorite thing about this nail salon is they open the nail tool package in front of you so you know it has been efficiently cleansed after other clients. I have been to countless other salons in Manhattan that claim to sterilize but rarely see them actually open the tools. read more

Saying I am disappointed and dissatisfied is an understatement. I came on the recommendation of a friend. I requested a pedicure and a sns powder dip ombre. I was quoted $65 for sns powder dip. My pedicure technician said she did not know how to do sns powder dip so she switched seats with my friend's technician who confidently claimed "I know how to do." This SECOND technician was not attentive. When she started applying the base coat, I knew something was wrong. Instead of applying evenly, she just slapped the polish on my nails like it was glue. There were moments when applying the first powder dip, she would look around to talk to other technicians and not look at my nails when painting. It became obvious she did not know what she was doing. I believe Yenny who is the main technician or manager came to even demonstrate for her on one of my nails how to gently tap the powder onto the edges for an ombre effect. The technician just threw clumps of powder on my nail. The fan was on and when there was a light breeze, the powder kept flying off the two brushes she was using. Eventually, she became frustrated and gave up. She didn't even say one word to me and got up after calling for another technician. She also kept knocking the two brushes off the jars, which fell on the floor. I did not realize until afterwards that she used the same two brushes on my nails. Very unsanitary. Now, the FOURTH technician came and tried to finish what the third started. She did not know how to do sns either and was struggling. She claimed it is difficult to do ombre effect on short nails, but I disagree. I have gotten sns ombre done at other nail salons without an issue. She ended up cutting my cuticles and I was left bleeding on two fingers. After 1.5 hours of 4 technicians, I was expected to pay 4 people tip in addition to the $105 for my regular pedi and sns powder dip ombre, which is not even ombre. It looks like a regular gel mani. I don't know how the total came out to $105 even if there was an additional $8 quick dry charge. It was an unreasonable amount to charge and very questionable. $65+8 quickdry=$73 for not what I asked for. Btw, this "sns ombre" cost is without extentions. So then, 24+8quickdry=$32 for a regular pedicure?? Please look at the photos and ask yourselves if that's what you would pay that much money for. Before I left, the friend who referred me called Yenny to complain as the situation was just ridiculous. Yenny apologized to me saying she is the only tech who specializes in sns powder dip and acknowledged the other girls did a bad job. She said I did not have to tip for additional 2 people. I still paid for the service, which was not what I asked for, but given that I have family members who work as nail techs and know what a labor intensive job it is, I did not make a fiasco about it, but this was not right. I am really appalled that Yenny would even allow the techs to do a service they do not know how to do. I felt like I was a guinea pig for a training session. How I was treated is inexcusable for a first time client. No client should be treated like this. I paid for premium service only to find out they don't know what they're doing and they thought they can get away with it. I have never experienced such dishonesty from a nail salon. I had high expectations for this place and this was my first manicure since getting engaged in May. I feel like I've been robbed. I would NEVER recommend anyone to get their nails done here. P.S. the nail technician who did my pedicure and ended up doing my friend's nails told her there would be an additional charge of $15 to paint another layer. This was the technician's response when it was asked of her to paint the spots that she missed on the nails. After I wrote my review, I read other reviews here where the business owner Suki refutes the accuracy and authenticity of client reviews. Especially the ones saying clients were told something can be done only to find out the technicians are inexperienced and straight up lying like what happened to me. If you are reading this, this is your sign to stay away from this salon. read more

My nail tech used a drill to "cut" my cuticles and left them all bleeding. My nails had scabs for three days and are still a mess.

Stopped by for get a quick chair massage. I tried make appointment my favorite massages therapy shop but there's wasn't available for today. I really need massage for my neck and back problems. I went to a lot of places for get a massage and this place was one of my favorite place for get a quick massage. I've been here few times since last year also I've got nails or pedicure here last year but honestly I didn't like they nails or pedicure service cuz they're not available great design for what I wanted for my nails or pedi. I tried 30mins chair massage today and it was amazing. Rosa was sweetheart and really did amazing job with me. If you pay cash here, you can get a 5% discount. I payed them to cash and got a discount. It normal cost $37 but I payed $32 without tip. I have a tip $15 to Rosa because of I really loved she's massage. It worth, you should try chair massage even if you don't get a nails or pedicure. Stop by this place when you are in the area. read more

Came in for a regular manicure/pedicure which is usually $35. They took me right away even though I was a walk in, but I noticed a lot of women coming in after me with appointments having to wait their turn. The nail tech Rita tried very hard to up-sell services to me for example $4 extra for Zoya nail polish. Since when is Zoya an add-on?? Instead of the basic mani/pedi why don't I add on the "signature" pedicure? she said. I told her "No, keep it basic." Halfway through the pedicure I noticed she was giving me the "signature" pedi even though I said no I want to do the $35 basic mani/pedi... but I just thought maybe there was miscommunication because of language difference and just let it slide bc she had done most of it anyways. But then she just kept trying to make me pay more for different add-ons and I got so annoyed. It's so loud in there because everybody is yelling at each other trying to figure out how to accommodate all their walk-ins and appointments. Ended up paying $65 and I left pretty pissed off. Would never recommend or go again. Day later, the nail polish on my entire index fingernail lifted off. L o l I have no other words. read more

Great service and treatments, they really do specialize in a great nail session experience.

Been here a couple of times and am officially done. Came today with an appointment for a pedi and still had to wait 20 minutes. Once I was taken, the nail technician was in such a hurry that she made my toe bleed while filing (imagine how aggressive that filing was!!). She was about to continue with the pedicure and I had to stop her to end the pedicure because that is unhygienic and dangerous -- I couldn't believe she planned to continue given how filthy that is. The woman who owns this salon has owned many in the neighborhood that I've patronized for years -- around 5-6 years ago I wrote her a positive review, but as she has opened more salons, the level of service has gone SO downhill -- no respect for the customer, and such careless service to the point of being a health hazard. And if you get her as your technician, be prepared for someone who will be on the phone and leaving you the whole time, making it take a lot longer -- really bad service. There are many nail salons in Murray Hill, be sure not to choose this one. read more

While this nail salon is very clean, I am not impressed with the quality of their work especially given the price. A gel manicure is $35 and chipped after 6 days. This has never happened to me before. Gel always lasts 2-3 weeks on me without chipping. Really disappointed. read more

I don't love writing bad reviews, but this place is pretty terrible. I had high hopes for Dream Nails because of the good yelp reviews, and there always seems to be a decent amount of people there. However, (*spoiler alert!*) my hopes and dreams of flawless nails for 2+ weeks were viciously crushed. I went to Dream Nails last Wednesday night for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. The pedicure was good, and the woman took her time with it. That's where the only two stars of this review were earned. The gel manicure was no good. While the woman did take her time, she only used one dip of top coat for the whole hand (pretty sure none made it on the last fingers) and was inconsistent about having me put my nails under the light (one hand would get 10 seconds (way too short), the other would get a minute and half). I thought "no way these hold up". Hate to say it, but I was right. It's Monday, barely 5 days later, and as you can see in the picture, the polish on almost all of my nails is chipping to varying degrees - one nail is almost completely bare. ugh. Now, instead of people thinking "damn those nails are fresh!", they're thinking "this girl is a mess, can't even keep her nails clean". And on top of that, they charged me more ($58) than the other girls around me for the same thing. There was no price list in sight, so I'm not sure if they just make it up as they go? I guess I should have asked upfront, my bad. Moral of the story: don't go here. The end. read more

Place is not bad, but service is terrible. My Nail technician (her name is Yenny) was very rude, like I owe her money or something lol. Also she cuts cuticles very deep it's bleeding afterwards.

I needed my winter-dry feet sandal-ready for the upcoming spring climes, and dropped into Dream Nail Spa on a random Saturday morning. I was attended to right away, and mentioned I wanted a callous removal treatment. The lady who attended to me didn't seem terribly attentive - she was constantly looking left and right and making small talk with her colleagues, to which I understood every word because I know Mandarin. She ended up doing a fine job, and I felt like even the rough patches of skin on the tops of my toes were attended to. I did have a callus between my toes that I feel like she could have worked more on but perhaps I'm expecting a level of conscientiousness unfounded with manicurists. I ended up surprising her at the end of the session by speaking in Mandarin. Anyway, the place is clean and bright with lots of natural light and fairly relaxing. I'd come here again, but would make sure to highlight any callused spots I want to be taken care of. read more

Cleanliness: 5/5 Price: 5/5 Service:2/5 This place is extremely clean. They sterilize their equipment which is taken out of a pouch. They have a plastics bag for the pedicure chair which decreases the chance of getting fungus. Even the foot scrubber is disposable and 1 customer per use. For $30, a manicure and pedicure is a great deal. I think this is deal is from 10am to 5pm only. I even think the products they use are very good. However, the reason why I'm giving 3 stars and not 5 stars is because of the technique. I have been doing my nails for 17 years and have seen it all. Lisa, who is my tech, does NOT know how to shape nails. They were completely uneven. Truth is I filed my nails again after she did. I think there is a communication issue because I asked for square but I don't think she understood me, which is fine. I just think they should maybe have a translator. However, nail techs usually ask: 1) do you want to cut the nails shorter? 2) what shape would you like? My nail tech didn't ask at all. I'll come back but maybe try another technician. read more

They "pay" for their reviews and offer a free 10 min massage to review...not cool. There was a sign posted on the wall saying this.

I recently got powder nails for the first time somewhere down the street, and the lady did a horrible job / it chipped that day. I used to live right by Dream Nail Spa and they consistently deliver a clean, quality experience for my nails. I went yesterday to get my powder fixed, and Yenny did an excellent job. She really took the time to fix them and this experience was literally night and day. Really recommend this spot and am definitely getting powder here again. read more

Worst manicure of my life. I got a gel manicure which is meant to last for 2 weeks and it couldn't even last for 2 days.. they did a rushed and messy job.

I was in desperate need of a fill with gel polish. This salon was right arount the corner I was staying so I thought I'd give it a shot. The job itself was done beautifully however after only two days, every single one of my nails were horribly chipped. With it being fashion week I needed my nails to be perfection so I want back and showed the presumed owner or manager. Instead of taking off their obviously low quality polish and letting choose another brand, they sloppily filled in where the chips were. No lie, not more than 10 minutes later and three were chipped again. Now I'm four days out and yet again my niails are chipped to hell. With tips and everything, this was a complete waste of nearly $100. Stay away! Side note, I completely love and embrace NYC's diversity. That being said I find it wildly rude for the staff to hold on full conversations in another language as they are tending to a client. It's disrespectful and quite frankly rude. read more

Was drawn to this place for the gel manicure price of $30.50 which is definitely the cheapest in the area. Made an appointment 30 min prior for two gel manis and two normal pedis and had no problem. Throughout our time there they were taking plenty of walk ins as well since they had about 6 or 7 people working at once. Overall price for the gel mani + pedi was $51 which was pretty unbeatable. They did a good job on both - will definitely come back here next time I need a mani/pedi. read more
