    Thank you for the walk-in!!! I was going to a gala and needed a mani/pedi quick style! Thank goodness they had an opening for me and the staff were all very welcoming. I felt like I was treated with royalty when I walked in and they offered a hot beverage, since I was freezing! My technician was very kind and gentle with my needs. We were in the back in a room, so it felt a bit more intimate and had small conversations. The vibe was high-end, welcoming, great hospitality. The halloween decor was lovely as they served my hot lemon ginger tea with a skeleton hand lol. I've never had Russian mani/pedi before so it was an experience. Kamila, my technician, was very attentive and took her time with me. My experience with MStudio has me wanting to get my nails done more often!! But the price was a bit on the high end for me, but once in a while it's ok to splurge! Luckily, I'm only visiting NY otherwise $$$$. No doubt though, I would come back if in need of mani/pedi!

    4th day?? Cuticles in very rough shape

    Worst Russian manicure I've ever received. Very painful, improper drill bit choice, too fast and rough, uneven, all nails different shape and thickness. Will not be returning. Oh and this was with their "top nail tech" at top $$$ Pictures show nails on 4th day. My cuticles are jacked up.

    Nails and designs executed perfectly by Karina at MStudio! Yes, these are my nails with hard gel over them

    I love this nail salon! I discovered it in March 2024 and I get no less than 3 compliments a week on my nails ever since coming here. The treatment and attention to detail is unmatched. Pro tip: Mondays are a fun day of the week to book an appointment- there's extra treats for clients :) Thank you as always to Karina the fabulous nail tech who is responsible for the artistry on my hands! The vibe in MStudio is top tier!

    Very nice salon. Appointments are readily available, staff is nice, salon is very clean, and they offer quality service. I'm very happy with my manicure. I'm not too sure about their ability to do trendy designs (stamping, marble, cat eye) but for a regular one color manicure I was extremely happy.

    Upon leaving I felt the manicure was the best I ever had! I explained I would be gone for 2 weeks and needed the manicure to last until a wedding I was attending. It's been 10 days and two nails have popped off with visibile lifting on multiple nails. I'm now needing to get them re-done 2 days before the wedding. For the price of service and my understanding of Russian manicures (lasting longer etc) I will not be returning

    I love it here. My nails have never been healthier or looked better since I started going to M Studio. It's clean, the staff is lovely - professional and very accommodating. My nails always last, which is key for me since I'm hard on my hands and constantly washing them. The quality and craftsmanship is there and worth the price in my opinion.

    Beautiful work, every time! I have visited twice now after being recommended this salon from a friend. They do Russian manicures, which means they take their time perfecting your cuticles. Even more than that, they are real professionals; they apply the gel so precisely and take their time to ensure it looks great. Highly recommend!!

    I have gotten two manicures here and have loved them both. They are really good about keeping their appointment time- the most I've ever had to wait was about five minutes. They also offer you drinks and chocolates. Mira is the technician that I have been coming to see and she is the best! She is super precise and friendly. The Russian manicures are pretty pricey but I think it's worth it. My nails have never looked better and the manicure lasts about a month with no lifting or chips! I have posted pictures of my first and second manicure to show how much my nails have grown in four weeks. I would recommend making appointments about two weeks in advance because they do fill up quickly. The receptionist also offers to make your next appointment when you finish your service which is nice.

    Great nail salon! I'm so glad that I found my go to salon that's close to my office in Midtown as well. The nail techs are great and the owner Margarita is very responsive. My manicure always lasts 4-5 weeks, and I'm sure it could last longer since it never chips. I just never tried. Definitely give the Russian manicures at MStudio a chance!

    During the manicure.  I can't stand when the cuticles get painted over or the polish is too far from the cuticles. This was fascinating!!
    Chris M.

    My realtor told me about Russian manicures. Living in California I wasn't able to find any by me - so I went to her salon this weekend when I was in town. They were all very nice and it was fascinating to watch. Looking forward to seeing how my cuticles grow out in the next 4-6 weeks.

    Russian manicure!

    I've been here twice now and it is hands down THE BEST manicure I've ever gotten. I've gotten a Russian Manicure both times I visited. The service takes time (plan for 90min - 2 hours) and it is worth every second. The attention to detail is second to none. My first manicure still looked perfect over a month after my initial service. I only came back so soon because my nails started growing really fast and I wanted them to look tidy for my job. Their customer care is also fantastic. I booked my first appointment online it was a super easy process. When I called to schedule my second appointment I was greeted by name. I have had my nails done by Asya and Assel and both were fantastic. Run, don't walk here.

    Corner of my natural nail broken off also on my non-dominant hand (I rounded off with a nail file to prevent further splitting).
    Tia H.

    The salon is gorgeous and definitely has a luxurious, high-end vibe. I was greeted warmly when I arrived and although my nail tech was running a bit behind, I didn't mind because the ambiance was really nice. I know that Russian manicures generally take long, so I only book them on days where I have ample amounts of free time. I was in no rush, plus I was offered a cup of tea and chocolates by reception while I waited, which I thought was really sweet. The technician who serviced me didn't speak much English, and we had a bit of a hard time communicating during the appointment, but she was incredibly kind and I enjoyed being serviced by her nonetheless. I'm pretty boring when it comes to manicures and don't really like getting designs anyways, so there wasn't much to speak about. The nails came out gorgeous, and I tipped generously and left the salon really happy after my first appointment. Delighted by my positive experience at my first appointment, I booked my next one for the following month. After about two weeks however, I noticed that my nails were chipping severely. My natural nails grow really quickly, but are very fragile, so I get them wrapped in hard gel. As the gel began to chip, so did my natural nails underneath. I initially wasn't going to say anything, but the chips were getting progressively worse and I was worried about the health of my natural nails. Plus, the manicure was over $100. I reached out to the salon, they asked for photos (which I provided) and then never replied back. After a few hours I messaged them again to follow up and they told me that they only offer complimentary fixes within 5 days. They also said that since so much time has passed, it's likely that the chips were due to something I did and not related to the quality of the service provided. While I completely understand why it's necessary for businesses to have policies like this in place, exceptions should be made in instances where services are not completed properly. I tried explaining that the worst chips were on my non-dominant hand. It doesn't make sense for my nails to chip so severely on the hand that I use the least. The gel on each and every one of my nails is chipping/peeling at the tip, meaning that the free edges of my nails were not encapsulated with the gel. I always follow proper aftercare and take extra precautions to protect my natural nails since I know they're prone to breakage. I've been getting Russian manicures for a few months now, and my nails have never chipped this bad, especially not after two weeks. I expressed that I already had an appointment coming up in two weeks, but that I didn't think my nails were going to hold up until then. They said all they could do was offer me a $10 discount at my next appointment. I took a look at some of their more critical reviews and other people have had similar experiences. I don't have a problem with paying more for high quality experiences, but if I'm going to be paying so much for a manicure, I expect my nails to last 4-6 weeks as advertised. Especially since I upgraded to hard gel, which comes with a surcharge. I canceled my upcoming appointment and am going to look for a new salon which is upsetting because I will definitely be charged extra for foreign removal and correction. A simple fix of the severely chipped nail and an extra layer of gel on the tips of the other nails would have been enough to hold me over until my next appointment. If they would've been more understanding and actually offered a solution, I would have kept my future appointment. Customer service, nail health, and the quality of the service provided is much more important to me than aesthetics. I can't afford to have my natural nails exposed like this because they will definitely break off. The whole point of getting a Russian manicure in the first place is to protect the health of my natural nails. I really wanted to like this salon, but unfortunately I will not be returning.

    Do you do acrylic pedicures to help with the shape of toe nails?

    Hello! We do not do acrylic pedicures, but if you have anything broken or need to extend/fix a nail - we use polyacrylic gel for it.

    Do you do acrylic or is it SNS dip?

    Neither. It's builder gel, only gel for nail polishes as well.

I've had laser on most of my body and now I only need to go every couple of months for maintenance since some areas do grow back due to hormones. They use Cynosure laser and this has been very effictive for my skin. Getting laser was the best investment since I really don't ever have to worry about shaving anymore. They always have different promotions available so the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this place if you're interested in laser hair removal.
