As an American visiting Spain, I arrived with chipped, peeling gel nails after a long flight. Most salons around Sol were fully booked, but my daughter and I came across this small, unassuming shop and welcomed us without an appointment. While they didn't offer chrome, the color options were lovely, and they did an absolutely fantastic job. To my surprise, the manicure cost just 21 euros for my 10-year-old daughter and me-- the quality is incredible. It's been three weeks, and my nails still look flawless--no chips or peeling, which has never happened with even the most expensive (close to 100$!) manicures I've had in the U.S. This place is quick, efficient, and delivers amazing results. No frills or spa extras, but if you care about long-lasting, beautiful nails at an unbeatable price, don't hesitate! read more

Las Uñas Hermanas - 21 euros for me and my daughter's gel manicures :) - Nail Salons Near Me - Madrid, M

I asked for a mani pedi and apologized for not speaking Spanish. We started with the manicure and the lady was very rough and filed my skin. We moved to the pedicure area and she continued with painting my finger nails, pulling me in a position that hurt my back. I fortunately I didn't like the color and asked to change, I apologized, but she got mad and was yelling while repainting my nails in the new color. She also complained out loud in front of other customers that I don't speak Spanish. I am a tourist and that should not be surprising, especially that I apologized many time. When we were doing my pedicure she continued to be tough and unpleasant, and complain about water splashing when I put my foot back in water. My nail color is uneven and looks like I painted my nails myself instead of with a professional. read more

Great service! As other reviews have stated, they only speak Spanish and their native language so keep that in mind if you're a tourist. They did my nails super quickly and just the essentials, but I don't mind at all because I appreciated the efficiency and wasn't looking for something super fancy. I love how the nails turned out! I got acrylic nails with gel polish and it was only €18, which is such a good price. read more

Las Uñas Hermanas - Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Madrid, M

This was exactly the place I was looking for. As a student studying abroad, I was desperate for a place to get my nails done for a good price. Don't expect to be pampered, this is a get in get out salon. I got this French done in probably 20 minutes and it only cost 11€. I don't speak any Spanish so I used Google translate to tell them exactly what I wanted. If you're looking for an efficient and cheap manicure, this is the place to go. read more

Las Uñas Hermanas - French Gel manicure on natural nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Madrid, M

So affordable! Normal manicures for 5€, permanents for 10€. Pedicures are 10 or 13€ and so worth it -- a permanent version will last you about 3 weeks with almost no chips at all. You definitely shouldn't expect a high-end spa here. In fact, it's a bit ghetto. But the nail painting work is top quality and the prices can't be beat. It's always been busy the times that I've been here; in fact, I'm not sure if there's a good time to come, or if it's just always super popular. Come with a bit of extra time just in case you have to wait for your mani or pedi! read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. My friend and I are studying abroad here for four months, and we wanted to check out a nail salon to see if we would be able to frequent one during our stay. This salon came up on my Yelp, and seeing the pricing, we decided to give it a go. We both wanted gel manicures. We arrived to the salon, and told them our service of choice, and they sat us down. My friend had dip powder (SNS) on her nails that needed to be removed, and they had never seen it before and didn't know how to remove it. I explained that it wasn't acrylic or gel, and that it was powder that was hardened onto her nail. I speak conversational Spanish, so seeing that this was our only common language, I utilized it. Two different women went to business on my friend's nails, one taking the acrylic drill at what seemed like the highest speed, and completely drilled her nails down on one hand. The other woman was AGGRESSIVELY filing her other hand with a large rectangular emory board, and was also filing her cuticles, causing my friend to flinch and clench her jaw. She looked at me and said "this burns so bad. it feels like they are pouring acid on my fingers." She tried to pull her hand away and say "ouch" but the woman looked at her and started laughing. The woman doing my nails asked me if i wanted my beautiful, long almond nails cut off, and I said "no, just file" in Spanish to her. She and her coworker (who was doing my friend's nails) looked at each other and started laughing. The woman doing my nails then proceeded to ask me some questions about where we were from, how long we were here for, etc, and I was answering all in Spanish. She then told me that I speak Spanish very well, and then her and her coworker started cracking up laughing again. I knew I was being made fun of, but I didn't want to say anything so I just said thank you. The application of the polish wasn't an issue, both sets of nails were smooth and refined. However, the shape and thickness of our nails were completely off. My friend had been growing her nails out for months now after having acrylics, and they were finally becoming thick, long, and healthy with the help of vitamins. After this manicure, they were paper thin and unevenly filed at the tips due to the hack job removing her dip powder. They then charged her an additional 5 euros for removal alone. The manicure was supposed to be 10. They charged her half the manicure price for removal. My nails were also paper thin from filing, and extremely bendable. After 2 days, my friend's gel began to chip. She is not rough with her hands at all. She did not workout between then and the day they chipped. She did not drive. She didn't do anything intense with her hands besides write, wash her hands, and shower. After 4 days, my polish didn't chip but my right middle finger nail cracked halfway down the middle. Then, my left thumb nail cracked right at the base of my nail after literally pulling up a pair of shorts. I have since cut all my nails in an attempt to start from scratch and grow them out again, and my friend has gotten a new manicure. So review of polish application? fine Review of how long it lasts? not so fine Review of maintaining integrity of the nails? terrible Review of workers? rude and aggressive read more

Honestly, you get what you pay for. Coming from the US means I'm used to paying around $50 for a decent gel mani/pedi. I paid 23 euros for both and they were perfect. Nails were filed and cuticles were pushed back, pedicure was typical & I got a massage for both. Color options were good too. This will definitely be my go to place for the next few months I'm here. Still a little nervous to try acrylics though. read more

I've always took the 45 minutes journey to go there because they usually do a decent job for 10 euros. This time I went they did a terrible job and they charged me more. Unfortunately that is the last time I'll be going there. read more

I was studying in Spain for the summer and I wanted to find a good nail salon to go to while I was there. I walked to this place as it wasn't too far from the Sol metro stop. I got the permanent manicure and regular pedicure. Compared to my experience with nail salons in L.A., this salon was very cheap. Most manicures are $35 in L.A. I waited at peak time for about 20 minutes for a manicure. It was very quick, took maybe about 20 minutes, and she roughly did my cuticles (they are still awful and hurt and bleed). Then I was transferred to the pedicure chair. This chair and the water bucket felt very unsanitary. It was a good price, 10€ for each manicure and pedicure. I was initially excited because I was sitting next to locals and chatting with them, so I initially decided to trust this nail salon. The main message from this post is that you get what you pay for. read more

This is a great place to get your nails done if you just want a very cheap manicure. It only costs 10 euro for gel. But if you are looking for a relaxing experience while getting your nails done or good customer service this is definitely not the place. It also smells a lot like chemicals which I know some people can't handle.. I am starting to become one of this people. Every time I have gone I have had to wait a while and I have always felt that the services are very rushed. However it is such a cheap manicure and it lasts so that's a plus. read more

Las Uñas Hermanas - 10 euro gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Madrid, M

I'm currently living in Madrid for a couple of months and needed a fill on my acrylic nails so I yelped around and found this place. I went there and it wasn't that busy, maybe waited 10 minutes. My Spanish isn't that good so I had a picture ready and she got to work. It took 40 minutes, they have a lot of colors to choose from and it was only 18€ so I'm very impressed. I'll be back! read more

Great little shop about 10 mins (walking) from Sol. Quality nails for really reasonable/cheap prices. Like many said, this is a no frills kind of shop. Don't expect to be pampered. They do your nails quickly and efficiently but then they are on to the next person. They don't speak English but do speak Spanish and Mandarin. Gesturing also works. When I walked on there was nobody in line but as I was leaving there were 10 people in line. Try to avoid peak hours. read more

It's so affordable here! Back in the states, it's about 35$ for acrylics and gel. So here's the price break down. 5€ for normal nail polish (for which they call "manicure") 10€ for gel (which they call "permanente") 15€ for acrylics (fake nails) with gel (which they call uñas de gel) And I got extra rhinestones on there. For the smallest ones, they charge .25c for each one. So I got 3 on each middle finger (see in photo), and paid 1.50€. It cost .50c for a larger size. I originally wanted an ombré of light pink to white but they said they only do one color :( You also need to be pretty proficient in Spanish. I would have been a confused lost person had it not been for my friend who spoke Spanish and the girl sitting next to me who is a local and spoke some English. They did not use any nail drills that I'm used to. They did all the shaping by hand filing. It was interesting how one of the non Asian employees was filing my left hand while the other Asian employee was gluing the nails on the other hand. I thought it was efficient and cool how they teamworked. The only reasons for the four stars rather than five is because they real ripped up the sides of my cuticle area on my pink and middle finger (idk if you can see in the pic) and it really stung when they put some type of liquid after they glued and filed. But I'm a big girl and couldn't speak good enough Spanish to complain... on the bright side, I notice they sanitize their tools often (as in they spray it with a sanitizer). I also didn't feel very valued as a customer. Like she would grab my hand and like kinda flick it away to tell me to put it somewhere else but that is mostly due to me not being able to understand madridean Spanish. I'm just sensitive and I'm over it jaja Tips: have your day pretty free. It's on a first come first serve basis and there's only space for I think 4 people to be worked on at the table at a time. They don't take appointments. If you can't speak good enough Spanish, bringing in a picture is helpful. I only got acrylics and didn't experience anything of the other services like pedicures or waxings etc. But if I do, I'll let y'all know. read more

Friendly service, went with the lady's suggestion with the darker red, turned out great, I love it! The lady did a fast but great job! And it's only 10 € for the gel manicure, really affordable. Definitely recommend it! read more

Las Uñas Hermanas - Nail Salons Near Me - Madrid, M

So I got a gel manicure for 10€, while everywhere else nearby was 15€ or above (and in other neighborhoods, around 30€!). Definitely do not expect any frills. It's a very simple salon and they're there to get the job done (No hand massage). For me, it's worth it. It's been 3 weeks and my mani has just started to chip and I say that loosely because it's barely chipping. I did feel a little awkward and dismissed when I arrived and felt low key prejudice vibes from the lady who was in charge just by the way I was treated (I'm black), but honestly 10€ is worth it and I'm used to it. Plus, the woman who actually did my nails was really sweet & did an immaculate job. read more

What on earth is anyone kvetching about? 10 euros for a good, no frills gel manicure from perfectly polite but clearly very busy women joking with one another in Mandarin in a stripped-down storefront that would be right at home in the east 20s? For those kinds of prices, perhaps folks can go get a 3-minute massage and green tea elsewhere. I tipped my young woman 5 euros and left 45 minutes after arriving feeling like a million bucks. Thanks, ladies! You're now officially my go-to in Madrid. read more

DO NOT GO THERE!!! After reading comments here I thought it will be ok. Turned out to be HORRIBLE. This place is nightmare. It's terribly stinky and dirty. No disinfection. When I sat and saw the dirt everywhere I was terrified. I let the girl only remove my hybrid manicure, paid 3 euros and literally run away from this place. HIGHLY UNRECOMMENDED read more

We tried this place out on an accurate recommendation of "fast, not fancy" and it met expectations. They have an unbeatable 10€ gel mani. We both got normal manicures for 5€. The cuticle removal will make you feel like a log being turned into a 2x4. You may select a color and they may bring you let's call it a variation on that theme. Not a place big on massage or paraffin dips but they also won't try to up-sell you. They are speedy and the place is quiet. No pedicure chairs so not a place I would recommend for that. If you want a quick color change this is a good bet. read more

Okay so I was super weary at first because coming from the US I'm not used to seeing nail salons like this. Very simple place, pedicures take place on just your average looking couch from storage or something. BUT I was pleasantly surprised to get a gel manicure for €13 and it was fantastic!! They have a great color selection the woman also had to put in extra effort to take off my long ass acrylic nails and that was painful but she did a good job and cleaned up my nails so nicely I cant wait to go back in another couple weeks. Small hand massaged at the end too! read more

Fast and inexpensive. Good if you want a quick mani/pedi, nothing fancy. The girls were attentive and did a good job. It was constantly busy as well. read more

This place is pretty good for the price. I got a new set of acrylics and it was only $18 USD. They did exactly what I asked them to do and it was quick and clean. My only problem was that she didn't pay much attention to the sides of some of the nails and so a few are not even near the skin. That being said, it's not that noticeable. The photos are from almost a week after I got them done and they still look good. However, I wouldn't go here for a pedicure. My friend got one and wasn't too happy with how it looked and they use plastic buckets rather than a traditional foot bath. read more

I'm a broke college student studying abroad in Madrid and was looking for a cheap, fast, no frills place to get acrylics. I found this place and was very pleasantly surprised! For only 15 euros I got a full set of acrylics, coffin shaped, and honestly they are some of the best and most even looking acrylics I've gotten (and they even do all filing by hand, without electric filers). Lasting power is TBD but for that price I can't really complain. I only had to wait about 15 minutes at a peak time, the tech I had was able to understand my spanglish, and they graciously allowed me to still pay with a card when I wasn't aware that they typically only take cash. I will definitely be returning! read more

Super affordable spot for a nail day. Normal manicures are 5€ and permanents for 10€. Pedicures are 10€ or 13€ for a permanent pedicure. The lady who did my nails was a bit aggressive with pushing back my cuticles but overall, my nails look really great and you can't beat the price! read more

If you'd like to be racially abused, disrespected and generally receive subpar service this is the place to be. There is a high probability that this establishment washes money. Cash only and they do not furnish receipts. They physically manhandled my hands when I told them to stop the woman starts raising her voice, I say well I'll pay and you can give me the "hoja de reclamación." She ups the price while yelling like a wild animal and refuses to give me the document which they are legally bound to do. I reported them and will follow up. If you care about not supporting racists you'd find elsewhere but non-racists establishments in Spain are scarce anyway. read more

I got my nails done here today and I absolutely love them! They gave me exactly what I wanted and described. It was so quick but they paid so much attention to detail I was very impressed for the price. For only 15€ I got an amazing full set of acrylics and the place was only about a 10 minute walk from Puerta de Sol. Very happy and impressed with this place and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Great place, so affordable for such a great job. I will definitely be going back. 10/10 recommend. I paid 10€ for a very nice gel manicure. They do a good job even though it's pretty busy. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. The most mediocre gel manicure I have ever received, they basically file your nails and then paint them and not much else. The woman who did my nails was extremely rude and got mad at me when I told her to paint thinner coats. She didn't wipe the excess polish off of the brush and made my gel extremely thick and uneven. The products and tools they use are also very outdated and unsanitary. Will not be coming back. read more

You get what you pay for - cheap decency. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the place. A little small, but I came at a good time to get in pretty quickly. My recommendation is that you know decent Spanish though because I think only one employee here spoke English (not an issue for me, but I saw another woman struggle). read more
