    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had a lovely experience collaborating with Michi on my nails - I came in with specific thoughts on what art I wanted on which nails, and Michi was precise in mocking it up, confirming pricing (I think Sasa overcharged me last time), and then was patient when there were things I wanted to change from that original plan as the nails were coming along.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm super happy with how it all came out - with it being pricey, and an occasional treat, I wanted it to be done well, and it was! I also came back to M&M because the last time I took off the gel, it didn't seem to damage my nails much.

    My nails today, November 14. Over a Month since the manicure!

    Yuri is amazing! She did my nails (medium art), as seen in the photos here. I made an appointment for October 12, and wanted to get nails done for my birthday month. I wanted bloody inspired nails (it was also Halloween month but this is just coincidence). Yuri did my nails just as I envisioned it! I also let her know that I have a bleeding disorder, so she didn't cut my cuticles and was very careful when filing to make sure I don't get cut. The salon itself was really busy, and there's music playing. There's also one bathroom stall. For birthday month, they give a discount but you need to pay in cash. I usually don't go to nail salons, but I definitely want to come back here!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I come here all the time, the only place I trust to get my nails done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've had many different artists and they always do a beautiful job. This time Honami took care of me and was absolutely painstaking with the foundation for my nails and they look beautiful for her efforts! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't speak highly enough of this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From basic nails to intricate nail art, this is the place! Super clean, nice staff, very respectful and calm atmosphere. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love love love![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    CalGel manicure

    The nail studio I always used to go to closed down, so I was panicked about where to now go! I saw that M&M has CalGel, so I decided to give them a try and WOW I am blown away!! The level of detail and time they take is so amazing. My nails have never looked better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I had Sasa and loved her - thank you Sasa![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend, I'll be back soon :)

    I came here on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always amazing! Lots of talent and so welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They're true artist! I highly recommend them!

    Gel manicure with nail art (ghost was $9, other nails were $5 each on top of the gel mani)
    Morgan G.

    Quality: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Price: 2 stars I decided to check out M&M Studio after seeing some of the nail art they've done. (I typically get nail art and prefer soft gel, so M&M seemed perfect. The studio is super clean, and I was taken right around my appointment time, which I really appreciated. My nail tech was SO sweet and paid so much attention to detail -- truly, I don't think I've ever had such a thorough pedicure. The nail art was also exactly what I asked for and I was so impressed by how well she stuck to the design! My issue with this salon is the prices. I am used to paying a premium for my nails, but I ended up paying $170 for a gel manicure, a regular pedicure, and some nail art before tip (most of which was really just a French manicure). I've NEVER paid more than $120 MAX. I can't justify coming back here at those prices, but if you can afford the steep prices, the manicures and pedicures are great quality.

    The perfect mani with Japanese gel
    Alison C.

    I was visiting New York for work and wanted to try a Japanese nail salon during my stay and found this gem on Yelp. They were steps from my hotel and were able to take me as a walk in. Sadly I couldn't get any nail art since it was a last minute appointment, but my gel manicure and regular pedicure were perfection. Everyone in the salon was very friendly and it's a beautiful and relaxing space. Highly recommend this spot, but make sure to make an appointment a few days out!

    Kind and professional techs. Airy and clean studio which is a nice change compared to other places in nyc. Might be pricey but with it. Nails are yet to come

    How much is an acrylic fill?

    They don't do acrylic at this salon.

    How much is a gel manicure? (And how much is nail art?)

    A gel manicure is $45. For nail art, it depends, but I think generally they charge $5 per nail.… 

    When they do a gel extension, do they use tips or do they free form them on nail forms?

    They can do either!

    My nails are super short I want to get extension, will they look thick and fake?

    They will look natural

    I have UV gel nails (the kind of gel that comes in a goopy liquid that you apply with a brush and that dries quickly under a UV lamp). Does this salon do a good job of removing this kind of gel?

    Hi. They use the same kind of gel. They use a machine first, then they soak and finally use the metal to scrape. Hope this helps.

    I had my hair done by Masaki and was extremely disappointed with both the result and the way my…read moreconcerns were handled afterward. I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

    Updating my review: I used to come here because the haircuts were strong, but over time the…read moreexperience deteriorated significantly. Appointments became rushed, started late, and lacked even basic professionalism. You're barely greeted when you walk in, and the overall tone makes it feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. I told them multiple times I had a head injury from a concussion and the lack of care was very concerning how abrasively they washed and handled my head. My most recent appointment was a complete failure. I asked for a warm, golden brown and came prepared with multiple reference photos. While the color was processing, I clearly flagged that it was pulling purple. That concern was dismissed, and the product was left on longer. The result was the darkest my hair has ever been, almost black with a cool, purple hue. The exact opposite of what I requested. The color job is all mismatched, the lower part of my hair significantly darker, the roots are sloppy and uneven. When I pointed this out, the response was defensive and dismissive. At one point, I was sarcastically asked if I wanted to "bleach it," which is an inappropriate and careless suggestion for already fine hair. It was mind blowing to have this handled so poorly and then be rushed through a cut that does not look anywhere close to the quality of the past cuts. I followed up requesting a refund, given that this will take months to correct and fade, and received no response for over 48 hours. It's not even about the money - it's about the severe lack of respect. What's most surprising is that this level of defensiveness and lack of accountability was unacceptable, especially after such a grave mistake. Instead of thoughtful adjustment and ownership, the response was dismissive in the moment and silent afterward. Mistakes happen. How they're handled is what defines a business. This was not handled well. NYC has no shortage of salons that can deliver both technical skill and professionalism. This is not one of them. Updating this with a pic and additional NYC HAIR SALON SEO terms so future customers are warned since the salon has decided to block me after no satisfactory resolution. The pic at the top right was me pre-hair f*** up. Only come to this salon if you'd like to come home and cry.

This was their "best advice for me" and that I should come back and get both together. I only needed a haircut and this was the only chance I got (I am a SAHM with 2 kids and minimal backup except this day) so I said I would consider it but I need a cut now. It was 6 months since my last. That must have just not been the right thing to say bc I was judged, insulted during the entire session and I got the worst haircut of my life. I can't even get it fixed because it is so much shorter than I wanted. There are huge "texture" discrepancies all over my hair, the most obvious being in the back near my neck. There's also a strand of hair far longer than the entire length of my bob cut. I don't even understand how this happened. I'm so traumatized. I would never recommend this place and will never ever come back. I really had 1 chance to get a cut as a treat to myself, since I really don't have extra time to spare. And now I have to live with this until it grows out, definitely more than 6 more months. If I could give -1000 stars, I would. Please do yourself a favor and find a salon that can do a nice cut for long AND SHORT hair. WITHOUT A PERM TO MAKE IT ALL STRAIGHT FIRST. The skill level here is just so sub par. I could have done it myself.

I haven't cut my hair in 6 months and I have really long straight natural hair so you can say it is a blank canvas. This is probably one of the worst haircut I have gotten in years compared to other places that are in different price ranges. Leaving the salon it looked good styled but when I went home to wash it and had more time to look without it curled I saw really choppy layers and the length is much shorter than i wanted. For a cut I paid $107-110 not including tips and expected a decent cut for that amount. Truly disappointing as holidays are coming up and I have been wearing a hat to cover up, cannot wait for this to grow out but will take months. Ara was really sweet and nice but I don't think the skills were there.

And what a fortunate thing I was, because I have now found my new go to person for all hair related needs. I highly recommend Ai for your stylist. Her attention to detail is superb and it is apparent she is a perfectionist as she even requested to trim my eyebrows to balance the cut against face shape. Reference this review and request her honest consultation for your intended style before getting a cut; I can almost guarantee you will be amazed by the end result. However, what ultimately made me leave a review was what Ai did NOT do. It was the fact that she advised me NOT to get a perm that day. She recommended it would be better to grow out my hair longer for the intended style. What refreshing honesty that prioritizes the best for your client instead of upselling any unnecessary service. I walked into NewHair with a quarter life crisis and a bowl cut. I came out 1.5 hours later having realized my full potential as a Temu BTS member, with the best haircut I've had in New York City.

I'll give them an A for effort though although it looked nothing like the picture. The massage was amazing. She did a really great job. Most of my massages are pretty rough but she did a great job with light to medium pressure. I really liked the glass of champagne and the chocolate truffles. The private soak was nice but I really enjoyed the sauna. It was definitely a great experience. Came out feeling revitalized. My boyfriend really enjoyed the massage and the amenities.
