I needed a fill-in badly after almost a month without time for an appointment, and they were able to take me right away. I love the color, I think they turned out great! The staff all wore masks and gloves, and there were barriers between us. The ladies were really nice and I'm happy with my experience. Will be going back again!! read more

They are very nice people, but after my second visit, I won't be returning. I got a set of Gel X nails a week ago, and I already need to take them off. The nail sizes didn't match properly, and there was thick, uneven glue underneath that looked off. This gave a very inconsistent, sloppy , and unprofessional look. While the staff is friendly, the quality didn't meet my expectations. The service overall felt rushed and I'd rather them not take the appt then do a rushed job. read more

I had a really positive time getting my nails done at Lulu's Nail! It's been a while since I've gotten my nails done and my skin has been wrecked from the cold weather; Jade non-judgmentally and gently cleaned up my nails, working quickly but very effectively at giving me a great mani pedi. I felt welcomed and at ease at the salon, I wasn't upsold any extra treatments or anything I just received a quality manicure in a relaxing setting.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! I had the worst experience today and I walked away almost crying, I would pay anything for a good service but this experience was a complete disaster. I had a few my natural nails broken and others that were long. I said that I wanted either french tip in all of my nails or just the ones broken, they seemed to not understand, yet they said " yes french tip". They cut all my nails short and then try to do a french on my tiny nails!!! I said again I wanted french tip not this and they said only one lady knew how to do it and she already had an appointment waiting. I walked out with a poorly regular manicure done and all my nails SHORT having a wedding the next day. COMPLETE DISASTER read more

I've been coming here for over a year and they've done amazing powder, gel, gel extension, and chrome nails for me. They've made my nails healthier too so they actually last for a month without any breakage and grow super fast. read more

It was an interesting process where the crystals were placed in the water which developed into a thick consistency it felt real good on my tired feet.

I went to New York this weekend, and with an hour or so to kill, I thought it would be fun to get a manicure. I went to Lulu's nail and saw that manicures were $11, but when I went inside, a woman sitting near the door and for me that they were actually $11.50. I agreed to that and the manicure started. The manicurist was really rough and cut two of my cuticles to the point of bleeding, but she didn't notice, and I had to point it out. She also missed the sides of a couple of my nails, and when I pointed that out, she fixed it, but I missed it on two nails and they are just not polished all the way to the edge. That was definitely a bummer, but when I'm the most disappointed about is that by nightfall, one of my nails was badly chipped, and others are chipping away too. When I went to pay, I was informed that it was $12, despite the posted signs and what I was verbally told. It's obviously not a huge price difference, but the inconsistency is really frustrating. There are a ton of nail salons in the area, and even others on the block, so I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

I have lived in NYC for 8 months. I get a manicure every 2, 3 or 4 weeks and have never been to the same place twice. So you can see, I'm picky lol. Yesterday I searched on Yelp and Google for a nail salon in Manhattan for about 2 hours before I decided on this one. I called at 5pm and made a reservation for 6:45pm. Whoever answered the phone was very polite. She even sounded excited to have me. What I was looking for those two hours: GREAT acrylic nails (DipIt + Shellac = You Can't Go Wrong) by nice technicians who would also give me a back massage. This place was the perfect spot. It also was in my favorite neighborhood to drink in so mega +. I walked in at 6:40pm and picked paint from the large selection of Shellac colors. The store is a little hole in the wall, but I like that there aren't a million people in there with their kids and stuff. Very no frills. I was greeted immediately with smiles and felt very comfortable. Cynthia worked on my nails. I had gel on top of my acrylic so she individually placed remover and cotton on them and used these cute reusable clips to keep it stable instead of foil. She removed the gel very easily with a file (no drills or stuff flying in your face and into your clothes!) She then started to assess my nails and their shape and I told her I had a not-so-great fill-in at this place in Florida and we laughed. Some were just plain crooked and she noticed and said "Yes these two are crooked. I will do my best to make them look better without taking off the entire nail." And she did. Every time she worked on those two nails she held them at different angles to make sure they were straight. The paint job she did literally looks like glass. There is not one imperfection. The shape is EXACTLY what I wanted and they all are even. She took her time to make sure they were perfect and even said to me "If you don't like something, please tell me. I want your nails to be perfect." Like... boom. That's all any technician has to say to win our hearts, amirite? Then she gave my 10-min back massage. It felt amazing and idgaf if the chair was at the front of the store for any passerby to see because I was straight falling into a trance. Total with the Dip fill-in, Shellac manicure and 10 min. massage was $62. I tipped $13 for a total of $75 and it was totally worth it AND I was out of there by 8pm. Cynthia worked quickly and carefully. I will be back! Side note: At one point a girl came in asking for a upper lip waxing and I know that only takes about 2 minutes. So when Cynthia politely asked if I minded her pausing to do that I said "Not at all." And in my opinion, that 2-5 minutes it takes from my manicure is worth it for Cynthia to have ten more dollars because in a way, it's like I gave her that ten dollars. And if you don't realize how hard nail technicians have to work during the day and you get super peeved by a small interruption, then you shouldn't be getting your nails done. EVERYONE'S JUST TRYING TO LOOK FLY, OKAY? Okay, rant over. read more

I just came to get my nail polish removed after gel, and I'm honestly traumatized. They soaked my nails in acetone for maybe 3 minutes? And then the lady taking off my polish very harshly scraped my nails with her metal tool as if she was in a very big rush. This was so painful, and to make things worse she filed half of my nail down afterwards until they were paper thin. Literally doing anything now with with my hands is straight up painful. I've been here once before to get a gel manicure and it was sloppy, and they took off my previous nail polish in a similar way :( read more

They were similar to acrylics so I didn't know she had switched it without asking until she charged me. I had said "acrylics" multiple times! Total rip off!!

Honestly I was thrilled by reasonable prices but I guess you get what you pay for. The French tips are just bad. Like one is leaking into the clear part of the nail. The color is not dense and here are clear marks where the brushes were. I didn't notice and just assumed those would be things that are so basic they would have been taken care of. Also I asked if they took card and they said no but I see here that they do so idk about that. Just generally not great. I wouldn't typically write a review but i am trying to find a good nail salon and I hope that nobody else must make the same mistake as I. Here goes a whole month with these on before I try somewhere else. read more

I haven't written a review in a while but felt like I needed to put this out there before anyone goes through this experience. Went for a gel mani, and I was going to get my previous gel removed. The lady soaked each nail for maybe 2 min, used a combination of her nails, a pliers sort of tool and a metro card (!!) to remove the gel. She also had these plastic nail clamps to hold the remover in place, which was covered in other gel dust and I saw her put it back in the box without cleaning then after me. None of my nails are shaped the same, my nail beds are completely scratched up and the manicure itself is sloppy. She continued to pick at the color around my cuticles with her nails while painting them. Never again. read more

TLDR: Not careful with blood. I don't know how this place has any reviews over a 3. I'm okay with a no frills nails place but this was awful - I shouldn't have been as chill about it as I was. I got dip powder nails which were supposed to be less damaging, but they definitely filed down my nails just as much as acrylics. They didn't cut my cuticles but rather just filed them off incidentally until they started bleeding in 3 places. They then kept buffing them and spreading around my blood - no apology, no gloves, no health concerns. Again, I'm not fussy but this freaked me out. End results were uneven lengths, bad polish, lifting after a week. They couldn't make it cheap enough for me to return. Also I believe I was attended to by the owner. Feel free to search for deals of course, but please skip this place. read more

One star because they were super nice and sweet, however, the quality was just not up to par compared to other nail salons in the neighborhood with the same price points. I got a gel manicure in white. The lady who did my nails was older and very sweet. She seemed to have experience filing and I made a mental note that this was probably going to be a good manicure. All was going well until the polish time. My left hand was done fairly well, then the place started to get busy and I felt like she started rushing. I didn't get a chance to really inspect my nails until I was shuffled over to the pedicure chair. Then I noticed I had nail polish all over my right index finger (not even close to the nail). The sides of the nails had the most jagged paint job and looked worse than if I did it blindfolded. I knew I either had to ask her to fix it, or I was going to go home and soak my nails in polish remover all night because i wouldn't be able to go to my job with the nails in their current state. I asked her to fix it and she managed to file some of the excess away and cut it off with the cuticle cutter. It's at least in an acceptable state, but as you'll see from the pics it's not great. I felt too bad to cause an issue in the crowded salon, but I won't go back and my tip reflected my dissatisfaction. I recommend you try elsewhere for your next mani. read more

I also loved that their menu had a lot of options, including more than one type of Brazilian to book. When I showed up to my appointment, I checked in and filled out some basic, new client information. I was then taken to my room with my waxer promptly after. They use hard wax here which many people prefer, but for me hurts the most. But I don't really care what is used as long as they're hygienic, quick, effective and will not spawn in-grown hairs. My waxer was quick, thorough and one week out...things are still looking good! As a bonus, first time clients got a significant discount which made me even happier about my experience. While my experience before check out was already excellent, that was just icing on the cake. Overall, I left very impressed and will definitely return again in the future!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING and honestly upsetting experience. My little sister ran to her appointment…read moreand arrived flushed and a little sweaty, and the technician -- I believe her name was B -- proceeded to wax half the area before suddenly stopping and telling her that she was "too sweaty" to continue and that she would need to wait 40 MINS + an additional hour if the next client showed up. For context, my sister has been getting waxed regularly for over eight years. She is athletic, healthy, and this has never happened to her before. She was not dripping in sweat or experiencing anything extreme -- she had simply rushed to make the appointment and was flushed. None of that should even matter in terms of how respectfully a client is treated, but it made the reaction feel even more disproportionate. The technician told her she would need to wait 40 minutes or longer before they could continue, in part because another client was coming in. That is where this started to feel less like a legitimate waxing concern and more like a scheduling issue that my sister was being blamed for. I could completely understand saying, "Let's give you a few minutes to cool down so the wax adheres better." But stopping halfway through a service and telling someone to wait 40+ minutes is a very different situation. I have also been getting waxed for around 10 years, including throughout hot and humid New York summers, and I have never experienced or even heard of someone being treated this way simply for being a little sweaty. Beyond the explanation making very little sense, telling a client she is "too sweaty" in that manner is incredibly rude and inappropriate. There are professional, discreet ways to address moisture without making someone feel embarrassed or ashamed of their body. The fact that half the service had already been completed before this suddenly became an issue also made me seriously question the technician's judgment and experience. If it was genuinely unsafe to wax her, why was the service started in the first place? This is also a waxing salon with fans and powder available to help keep the skin dry. What made the situation even worse was what happened afterward. My sister called me on FaceTime while she was there and was literally in tears trying to advocate for herself and explain that the situation had made her uncomfortable. When my other younger sister later called the salon for more information, the woman at the front desk described my sister as "aggressive" and said she had made the staff uncomfortable. Well let me tell you, I'm the oldest sister and our youngest sister doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. It made me so sad to see her shakily defending herself. She was upset, embarrassed, and trying to stand up for herself while crying -- not behaving aggressively. All the receptionist had to do was apologize! Getting defensive with emotional clients is never the answer. If you are the owner please review the call as they are all recorded. My sister also told me that after the waxing specialist left the room, she overheard waxers giggling nearby. I cannot say whether they were laughing about her, and I won't pretend to know that. But in that moment, after she had already been made to feel embarrassed and vulnerable, hearing staff giggling only made her feel even more humiliated. Timing, discretion, and basic emotional awareness matter enormously in intimate services like waxing. At the end of the day, this felt like an inexperienced waxer and a scheduling problem being turned into my sister's fault, while her feelings were completely dismissed. A client should never leave a waxing appointment feeling ashamed of a normal bodily response, humiliated, and then be labeled "aggressive" simply for saying she felt uncomfortable. Stopping a service halfway through, giving a questionable explanation, making the client feel embarrassed, and then dismissing her reaction afterward is unacceptable. I would not recommend this location based on how this was handled. SHAME ON YOU ALL YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

I always do them myself because everyone thins them out too much, but she assured me she'd just lightly clean them up a little. She did a bit more than I would have preferred but not a huge deal. I go to check out and I'm told the total will be $30! Lip threading is $7 so I question it and she tells me that I'm being charged the eyebrow fee of $22. I question this again as not much was done and was told there isn't a reduced fee for a clean up. She won't budge so I show her their website quotes $25, but refused to honor it. Something to keep in mind if you go. I'll only be doing my lip from now on with my preferred person.

I ended up waiting 30 minutes past my appointment time, which was annoying because I had paid for street parking. In addition, ended up with a parking ticket from this visit, so be careful if you're parking on the streets when coming here. The actual waxing was quick and painless. My esthetician was great.

I declined and asked how much longer the wait would be. She told me it would be another 10-12 minutes. What made the situation even more frustrating was being told that my waxer had just come out and taken another client at 10:30. If my appointment was scheduled for that time and I had already checked in, I don't understand why another client was seen first. I value punctuality and respect for my time, and I found this experience to be unprofessional and disappointing.

It wasn't anything my specific nail tech could've addressed within 5 minutes. There were fine bubbles on all my nails; there was too much polish being applied to the ends of my nails (it slopes up); and there was a decent amount of polish I had to pick off the undersides of my nails and the skin underneath. I pointed out the polish going past my actual nails twice during my appointment and saw there was more I didn't catch when I went home. Technical ability to apply polish set aside, I did like that polish removal and a brief back massage were both included with my manicure.

I say this each and ever time i get a pedicure, I also said not to grate my feet. I have been saying this at every pedicure i have gotten over the last decade so i know 1000% this is what I said. They ended up using the grater despite this. Then, when my bill comes, there was a 15 dollar charge for callous removal. I say that i did not ask or want that as it will greatly impact my feet and i specifically asked for them NOT to. It was clear to me they did not understand what I asked on the front end. Rather than being met with any apology on the impact they had on my feet and also charging and applying a specifically stated unwanted service, I was yelled at by the man working who accused me of lying. I told him with in 30 seconds I would pay despite them carrying out my request incorrectly. However his yelling at me continued, and went on for several minutes even after i had begun to cry. This ruined an otherwise good nail salon. I paid the charge despite the fact I specifically asked not to have it. Regardless of my specific situation, 15 dollars for a callus removal is insane. That is often included in a pedicure for free which is why i made a point to ask to NOT have it!!! I will never come back here. Rude and not transparent with their pricing. Avoid at all cost.
