Most nail salons are loud, busy and overwhelming. Not Takunya. This place is a little slice of…read moreheaven here on earth. The vibe is a quiet retreat from the outside world. The natural nail care is consistent and thorough (Adriana is one of our favorite technicians). And the owner Elif is warm and thoughtful with every customer. Her leadership and values are reflected in her staff and the culture she has created. In such a big busy city, it is nice to be able to check out and relax for a little bit while engaging in some self-care. P.S. Treat yourself to the ancient care pedicure with a 15 minute foot massage. You won't regret it.

I found Parus when I searched for a nail place in the UES near a place I was meeting a friend and…read moreboy am I happy that I did.. I will definitely be trekking up from Murray Hill in the future to see her for my nails. It's a small space but very cozy. I was given a choice of hot teas while I waited. I was able to get a same day appointment and when she was running late, Paru called me to be cognizant of my time rather than not giving me a heads up. She clearly has a cult-following. Everybody there was clearly a regular. I've gone to places before as a new customer and felt less important than the regulars ... I felt just as special as everybody else there so that was really very lovely. She took her time picking out a color with me and doing my nails. I got a shellac manicure.. its coming up on two weeks now and I don't have any lifting edges which is normally what happens so I am very happy. They are cash or Venmo only!

On June 29th, I got a gel pedicure and manicure. By July 2nd, the nail polish on six of my toes and three of my fingers had come off.

This nail salon is literally a few doors down from my house and I've been walking by it every day…read moreand waiting for a chance to give them a try. Today is my best friend's birthday and we went to the salon to get manicures and pedicures. It is such a cute little place. I love how bright it is even though it's a smaller place. We are both super pleased with the service. They were really kind and the service was amazing. My nails dried super quickly and for once I didn't ruin them which I think is because of the quick dry oil they put on them after drying for a bit. Aside from the amazing service, you can't beat the prices. They had a special going on for a manicure and pedicure for $33 ($34.50ish with tax) and normally it looks like it's $38 which is a serious bargain, especially in this neighborhood. I will definitely be back.

I love Miki! I am so happy she opened another location, as it is closer to work and home for me (…read moreeven though I'm willing to take two trains and travel an hour to get my nails done by her). When I started getting my nails done, they were always short and so brittle that they would never grow, and my cuticles were terrible. 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.
