I'd like to give a 3 week update... my nails are still thin and in so much pain and I'm finally seeing some growth that is healing them! DO NOT go here. I've added an additional photo to show my damaged nails almost a month after the worst manicure of my life. You can see how thin my nails are where she drilled them down to NOTHING when I asked her to SOAK.

Horrible nails, horrible service. Overcharged me and messed up my nails and my friends nails. Save yourself the stress and don't go.

They were so sweet and knowledgeable. Had the best recommendations and really made us feel comfortable. I wanted something more classic and my friend wanted something for her Halloween costume. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!

I've been getting dip powder on my nails for years from other salons. Decided to try this place because it's close to me and let me say - I've never been pissed enough to write a bad yelp review in my life. This place should be shut down. First of all - the second I sit down the owner and nail tech aggressively crowd me try to upsell me to UV gel, after I say no five times and am clearly uncomfortable two more techs come over and say "what's the reason you don't want it" "it's only $10 more". Then she only lets my old powder soak off for three seconds before scraping it off on high setting and ruining my natural nails. I go to pay and they tell me it's $65 before tax and tip which is $15-$20 more than anywhere in Stamford for powder which I'd be totally fine with if it was high quality Now, a few days later, which always looks perfect still normally, the powder is chipping and one tip cracked in half. NEVER had this happen.

Less than 24 hours for a $18 manicure and it is already chipped. Save your money and time and go anywhere else. Only positive to this place is ample parking

I absolutely love this nail salon! I have gotten my nails done in a lot of salons, but nothing stays as well as their gel manicures. It is a little on the expensive side, but I'd chose this place over a cheaper alternative for the quality I feel you get.

Showing my sloppy manicure

Still on the search for a good nail place in Stamford! I gave this place a shot after a recommendation from a friend. They did zero cuticle care, she brushed the buffing block over the back of my hand? (Ouch) and the buffing block was old and dingy. Plus the actually polish job is a bit sloppy, too much polish on my skin. I was considering giving them another chance with a different technician next time until they gave me the worst shade because I forgot to bring cash with me.

Chipped, other nails cracked.
Bailey S.

It's been 4 days and I'm already chipped. Three other of my nails are cracked. I got ANC off and on. They charged me $65 which is at least double of any place I have ever been to. Their staff is very friendly but I will not come back here again.

Terrible experience and do not recommend. The woman doing my nails was rude, inpatient, and made me bleed THREE times! Clearly she did not know what she was doing. Nor did they take anything off for me, which they should have because of how bad it was. Very disappointing and will not be going back.

Three days later chipped. Not ok
Monica R.

Disappointed. This place is a classic example of the nouveau riche. Harbor Point is the new, trendy spot in Stamford. Shops like this tack on "Harbor Point" to attract the younger crowd and attempt to get away with POOR service. Case in point: a co-worker recommended this place for some after-work relaxation. She had made an appointment for three manicures (2 regular and 1 gel.) They didn't honor or even apologize for not taking our appointments (mind you we were perfectly on time and waited for 45 minutes). Moreover, HPN&S mask their prices by stating that their products are better than others. They charged $12 for shoddy manicures (see photo--chipped in 3 days) and $35 for gel. Moreover, the owner was very rude to my co-worker after she found out that the gel cost $35 (it's not posted online or in the salon). Overall, I was very disappointed and will not be returning.

Update: the dip manicure only lasted 11 days before one of my nails chipped. I have been getting dip for a year and it always lasts at least 3 weeks. I have never had the dip manicure chip before, let alone less than 2 weeks. I typically get them redone at the 3 week mark because they're so grown out, but have NEVER chipped before. Very disappointed.

HOWEVER I'm thrilled and grateful that I didn't give up on my search to find a great nail salon where they respect their customers. I was not pushed around or nicked and dimmed because they told me all of the prices upfront when I asked. I WILL be returning and I would highly recommend them to anyone. They've been there for 20 years. It was nostalgic, pre-covid vibes of going to the nail salon and chatting it up with others and the nail techs have amazing positive personalities and I'd say "people skills" and we had some good laughs and great conversation. *Lastly it's not very often that I write reviews however when you go to a place of such servitude and kindness I felt compelled to share my experience so that others can have an enjoyable experience as well. Thank you The Nail Bar/Nailtique for your unrushed and welcoming hospitality and quality skillset. I look forward to my next appointment.

I can't tell if they were careless or unskilled. 1. The kid who did my pedicure ran the water so cold I had to ask him to add hot water. He was rough cutting my cuticle and nicked my skin. He was so careless with the callous file that he literally scratched my ankle. The woman who applied the nail color did a sloppy job on one of my toes and did the bare minimum to fix it after I asked her. This was for the "deluxe" pedicure. $65 2. For my manicure, that same woman filed my nails unevenly, too pointy, and didn't even bother to smooth them edge out. The owner then upsold me on chrome, which was fine. But the lady seemed like it was first time doing it. She only buffed it on 3 nails on my right hand then proceeded to add clear polish. When I pointed out that she needed to buff the nail, she tried to tell me that chrome nails were supposed to be glittery. Once the owner intervened. She was annoyed and proceeded to complain about me while doing her job. When I pointed out that the other nails on my right hand needed buffing. She was so visibly annoyed that I told her to forget it and just paid and left. I paid $150+ for this.

They have a variety of pedicures available and most of them includes a 15min massage. My Gel manicure usually last beyond the 2weeks and the Spa uses good quality polish on your nails not the polish you get from dollar tree. The staff is extremely nice and you can only tip in Cash. You definitely need an appointment because its a popular spot for people that want excellent service.

The most terrible experience -- beware of scam attempts. ($$$)…read more I'm not a believer in writing reviews, but I am absolutely disgusted by my experience earlier today. All I needed was a polish color change, something that is simple... I called ahead to ask if they're available for a polish color change, and I was told someone would certainly be available, and I said I'll be there in 15. I arrived at 5:08 PM and wasn't helped until 5:25 PM, which I totally understood since I didn't have an appointment in advance - really no issues yet. The first person who assisted me burned my finger twice while buffing off my existing polish and then chipped one of my gel tips on my middle finger. I came in for a simple color change, and now I needed an extension to fix the big chip. I was eventually moved to an older woman, who I believe is the owner. She applied gel to fix the broken tip and reassured that it was a free charge. I appreciated it. But then she attempted to put the gel extensions on the rest of my nails; I had gotten a fill only a week ago and they were already a fresh new set. I had to stop her and reiterate that I was ONLY there for a color change, nothing more... She then tried to upsell me, explaining that a color change costs $35 but for an additional $10, I could get gel extensions to make my nails stronger and help the color last longer. I made it clear that this was not what I wanted. Side note: it is RIDICULOUS to charge $35 for a color change... She continued to upsell, offering a $2 hard coat, which I explicitly declined and clearly stated "no," and her response was "ok" ; I get upselling is part of the job and a way to run a business, so again no real issue here. However the issue became after I said no, she proceeded to try applying it anyway and then added it to my total. When she told me the total was $35 for the color change plus $2 for the hard coat, I was stern and was not accepting her sneaking in this charge. She did remove the charge, but the fact that she attempted to charge me for a service I had specifically refused is extremely disrespectful. I came in for a simple color change and left feeling disrespected and disgusted. And it all took wayyy too long - Like I said, I walked in at 5:08 PM, and left at 6:05 PM. I completely understand that businesses need money, but SNEAKING IN upgrades a customer never agreed to is shameful. I would caution others to be very clear about what they agree to before allowing any service to proceed. Unless $35 color changes and being charged up the ass is their thing.

I've personally only gotten my hair done by Anthony (owner) or Ashley (master stylist). Both of them are extremely talented, kind, professional, and truly want to make your experience the best possible. The salon isn't huge, so it's nice and feels more intimate. It's always clean, well taken care of, and they offer you a variety of goodies like water, wine, coffee or hot cocoa when you arrive. It's situated on a busier road within Harbor Point. Parking can be sometimes tougher right outside the business, but there's still plenty of parking all around the establishment including a free parking garage. To make it even better - if you're not looking to get your hair done, you can still use any of their other services like massages, or other beautician services such as nails and waxes. Something I've wanted to try!
