I've been going here for at least 10 or 11 years. I love Kate, Kit, Eva, and Nina, but all the staff are amazing. I always walk out obsessed with my nails and satisfied with the service and of course I love the atmosphere and catching up with my peeps! My daughter is also a longtime customer. read more

I loved my nails. Brought my daughter and we both got our nails done while in Albany. Super friendly staff. Our dips with tip were done in an hour and they did a great job. Clean facilities. I would recommend visiting this establishment if in Albany NY. Price comparable with other nail salons. read more

This was probably the quickest nail fill I've ever received. The manicurist was so efficient and careful in filing and painting my nails and got them perfect. The prices are really good and they were finished in under an hour. The salon was clean and I was able to get a walk-in appointment, but I suggest making an appointment ahead of time since they were pretty busy. read more

One of the worst pedicures I've ever had. I had an appointment and she went as fast as she could and no one was waiting anyway. There was no effort for any part of the massage of my calves or feet and no effort to actually care for my toenails. my feet are in very good condition but a little extra attention would have been nice. Won't be back. read more

While I'm almost always happy with the quality of my nails, this is to advise new clients of my experiences. I moved back to the area after a long time. My mom has never stopped coming here because she has her person that never lets her down. I've been back for a pedicure and two manicures and I was unhappy both times. Even with appointments, I waited for 20 and 45 minutes to be seen. 45 minutes is unacceptable to me with an appointment. The pedicure I had done was rushed and the polish and cut of toe nails was sloppy and crooked. I do very much like the last set of nails I got, but did not like how I was being ridiculed during my time there. I was continuously being told to relax my hand/fingers because they were in his way, but I was relaxed...until the 3 or 4th time this was brought up, then I was irritated. Unfortunately, I think after my last experience, I will be looking for a new place with better service. Proceed with caution. read more

Nail Art - Hombre sparkly set, you shouldn't go through life without a sparkle - Nail Salons Near Me - Albany, New York

Not too many clean nail salons in the Hudson area. I have known the owner and many of the techs since high school, graduated in 2007. Apparently Alex (owner) asks my mom and grandma how I'm doing every time they go in. Same with my cousin who has been in Italy for 4+ years. It's just a nail salon. I haven't been to any others in this Hudson area. I do go to a place in Stamford, CT where I live now and I love it! If you're in Hudson, I would still come here. read more

Kit is the best! My nails always look great and last longer than when I've had them done at other local places. I'm pretty rough on my hands but I'm always happy with how well my nails last! Ive been going here for about a year now and highly recommend. read more

Nail Art - Nail Salons Near Me - Albany, New York

These ladies were amazing. We walked in and they sat us right down. They were so friendly and the pedicure was perfect. A few weeks later I brought my granddaughters for manicures and me for a pedicure. I got the same wonderful lady that I got last time. I loved my pedicure. My one granddaughter's nails were crooked but she didn't want me to say anything because the lady was "mean". I guess the woman was less than friendly and she was afraid to say something. This place was not cheap so I wanted them to fix her nails but she didn't want the woman to touch her again. I'm not sure what she said to her but if you're charging that much, try a smile or something! I did not tip her but now I feel like I should've let know why. Maybe she will read this. I may go back myself because I had two good experiences but I'm not bringing my granddaughters there anymore. There are so many other places to choose from! read more

Nail Art - ANC nails with tips - Nail Salons Near Me - Albany, New York

I obsessively follow nail artists on Instagram and never seem to be able to find someone willing to do anything creative. When my birthday was coming up, I researched "nail art Albany" and expectedly found Nail Art. The pictures on their Facebook sold me. I went in with a picture of what I wanted and it was recreated exactly (ombré ANC with cupcakes on two fingers). Most importantly, no one treated me like I was being annoying or asking too much, which has happened when asking for simple polka dots on one nail in other nail salons. Last night I went in again to get fun nails to match a dress I'm wearing to a wedding this weekend. The nail tech helped me pick the right look and was as excited as I was by the results. It didn't take much longer than usual and cost only $10 more (I've been charged $5 per nail for designs before!) I'd be willing to pay extra for nails this unique and beautiful anytime. I also find them to be attentive to details generally - every nail is filed to the right length and shape and double checked. Most importantly to me, my ANC was removed gently and the powder lays flat - sometimes it gets piled on thick and I end up looking and feeling like I'm wearing press-ons. It is clean, they happily take walk-ins, and they are warm and welcoming. It's a bit more expensive than other local places but if you want good, personable service in a convenient place, Nail Art is for you! read more

Awesome nail salon! I went here on a whim this past weekend when I was in the area and it was the best manicure I've had in a long time. Everyone was so polite and they took me right away as a walk-in on a busy Saturday. I live about 30 minutes away and now will be driving here to get my nails done. So glad I found this spot! read more

OK So I've changed my mind. I have stopped going to this salon for a few reasons; 1. they are over priced- they offer no coupons and charge extra for little things like shaping your nails a certain way. I feel if I am a continued patron of your business especially with all the competition in the area, I shouldn't have to pay for what I think is a standard service. I paid 30$ not including tip for a full set. And according to the signs on the wall, they are increasing the prices soon. 2. they don't provide a hand massage after a fill or full set. This is standard of almost any salon I've been to. A short, nice hand massage with lotion following by a hot towel. For the price they charge, they should include this. 3. not big enough and can be inadequately staffed They do have good nail technicians here, but I refuse to pay 30 something dollars for my nails and not get the same services that I could be getting for cheaper somewhere else. read more

I've received only pedicures from Nail Art. They have been hit or miss. The very first one I received was excellent. I am so upset I didn't get the girl's name to book appointments with her. I went an additional three times and the pedicures haven't been of the same caliber. The last time I was there the lady was cutting my nails crooked. When I said something she had no idea what my issue was. The lady next to me agreed they were crooked and in "fixing" the issue the nail tech cut my nails SUPER short. I haven't been back since because I've had to let my nails grow. I'm going to try them out once more or else I'll have to find a new place. read more

I got my nails done here gel and I had a good tech. She was very good at making sure they were perfect and not just rushing through the whole thing. I think that some of the other techs have a little bit of tude but she was awesome she was an older lady. You could tell that she cared. read more

Nail Art - Nail Salons Near Me - Albany, New York

I don't get my nails done often but when I do I like to go to Nail Art. I've always been treated with respect and they are very honest about their prices-- something you don't always see with nail salons. Always fast and they do a really good job on my ANC. Very clean and welcoming-- and right next to a Starbucks! read more

This nail salon is weird. The young guy working in the front is always friendly, but the other women working there are more concerned with their Starbucks orders and bad fake lashes than actually helping you. The last two times I've gone, the older woman has done my pedicures. She dug too deeply into my toes, claiming she was fixing ingrown nails. My feet hurt for weeks after and I will never go back to her. The water is never warm for a pedicure and the people act like you're bothering them. read more

I really like this place over all, everyone is very nice but I did leave a little disappointed today. With Halloween being a few days away, I wanted Halloween nails for the parties this weekend. I had a picture & showed him before I even sat down & I was told they could definitely do that. Especially with the name of the nail place being "nail art" I didn't think it'd be a problem. I wanted black nails with a gold accent nail & one nail with a skull on it. I went with a coffin shaped which he nailed but when it came to the design, I showed him again & that's when he said he couldn't do a skull. I was a little confused since I showed him before I even sat. I wouldn't have walked away or anything if he had just told me off the bat that he couldn't do it. He asked if I'd want a spider web and I said sure at least it's Halloween-ish. Well although my nails do look good over all, the nail doesn't look like a spider web at all. Definitely not what I was going for. They didn't charge me for design because I think they knew I was leaving a little disappointed. I am picturing what I had showed them & what I got. Again, my nails do look good but I wish they would have been honest up front, I would of done like just black nails or something! read more

They did such a nice job on my pedicure and didn't try to push any bs "spa pedicures" this had to be one of the best pedicures I've ever gotten!!! Also my ANC came out beautiful, I told the nail tech I like my nails short and instead trying to convince me to keep them long and make me feel uncomfortable for asking for them short, she just did it! Amazing!! This will be my new nail place I don't have one complaint!!! PLUS they have so many options for colors for ANC and polish! read more

Na was great! She took her time and was detailed in her work. I got a shellac manicure and a regular pedicure. I will definitely go back when I am in town. Highly recommend making an appointment with Na. The rest of the staff seemed like they did great work as well and the atmosphere was welcoming. read more

Nail Art - CND gel mani with Na - Nail Salons Near Me - Albany, New York

I had a man do my pedicure and my nails look nice. My cuticles were trimmed. The polish and pedicure look nice. I was informed he had an appointment and someone would do my nails. I've never had ANC before so I decided to try it. A woman who was coughing all over put a mask on and rushed to do my nails my nails were not prepped or cleaned at all. I really needed my cuticles trimmed or at least pushed back and that was not done nor addressed. She took a drill and started filing over my nails and the drill bits were covered in residue and dust. I asked if they were cleaned and she said they were cleaned with alcohol but they didn't look clean. At the end of the manicure she smothered my nails on cuticle oil which I was allergic to. I didn't know she was doing this until my fingers started to burn then I asked what it was. I washed my hands. My fingers hurt immediately after and I thought it was the oil but here I am 2 days later and my finger are sore under the nails. My cuticles and nails look so sloppy. So sad I paid $40 and now I need to have them removed. Here is a photo. Well after talking to the manager, Kit, he yelled at me and was very upset that my fingers hurt. Then he threatened that if I had the ANC taken off my fingers would hurt more and the nails underneath would look terrible because a drill was run over them. So I went to Wonder Nail on Central Ave. The removal of the ANC nails was completely painless and as soon as the nails were removed the pain subsided. Maybe the tips were glued on too tight? I'm not sure but the pain resolved with removal. They shaped my nails, trimmed the cuticles and I have the cutest glittery French ANC manicure. I met another patron there who has been going for 9 years. She told me Wonder Nail also has great coupons in the clipper. I'm looking forward to going back to Wonder Nail. Also, a previous review was right, the old woman at Nail Art will fill your pedicure bath with cold water and she does put her hand under the water to make sure it's cold. That's exactly what happened to me this visit. Then I recalled she was the one who gave me a pedicure that chipped the next day. So this was my second visit to this salon. Low quality. No thanks! read more

I got gel done and it chipped in like four hours and wasn't applied correctly. Seemed as though the tech was rushing through the process, which isn't cool with the price I was paying. I will not be returning! read more

They do a great job but be prepared to be robbed. They don't but all their prices on their menu & they're very rude. Rather go to nan nail

I went here on a recommendation from a parent in my after school program. The place I was going to just didn't like the way my nails were coming out.

I've already sent some of my friends there and they are pleased by the resul read more

I don't remember the name of the nail tech that did my nails (she is young and busty), but she did a great job. I got a regular manicure and pedicure ($36). I really liked the massage chairs and the hand massage, and I wasn't in the salon too long. The salon itself was very clean and they have a lot of colors to choose from. I didn't see that they had Weekly Polish until the manicure started, but the nail tech said the OPI polish would last all weekend. It's been 7 days and the polish is just starting to chip. It would be nice if they had a better way to show off their polish colors, I had to dip under and around 2 other girls who were picking out polish. Although the nail tech and I weren't very talkative, I thought she and the staff had good customer service. We don't have to be best friends, file and paint my nails right and I'm happy. The only issue I had was it seemed like the foot scrubbers they use might not be sanitized like the rest of the tools. And I accidentally stiffed her on the tip, so I plan to send it to her in the mail, Attn: The Busty One. read more

My experience at this nail salon was one of the worst experiences I've ever had getting my nails done. I had a 6:45 appointment and I wasn't even spoken to until 7 p.m. All I wanted was a simple pedicure. A man led me to a pedicure chair and put my feet in water, and then proceeded to leave -- he didn't come back for 30 minutes. I had to sit there for 30 minutes with no one around. Finally, another employee came in and said "Oh, we forgot about you." He didn't even apologize. I was ready to walk out but decided to stay because I genuinely wanted a pedicure. The pedicure I did receive was sloppy and smudged even before I had left the store -- and they charged me $28 for a basic pedicure, after making me wait 30 minutes. It was the worst service I have ever received at a nail salon, and I encourage anyone thinking of going here to look elsewhere. read more

In between activities on a trip i stopped in to get a quick gel manicure, BIGGEST mistake! The salon was unclean and i did not feel as though their tools were sanitary. my manicure lasted maybe 20 mins at most and was very poorly done! My nail tech had food on his face the entire time and was extremely rushed. Heres where it gets even worse, it costed $35! IT WASN'T EVEN WORTH $5! my polish looks chipped and has missing spaces. As someone who spent quite a bit of time in cosmetology school, I can for sure say that none of the sanitary guidelines were followed for this manicure. 45 out of 10 would not recommend this place to anyone! My dog could do a better manicure than this place, and she doesn't have thumbs. read more

I was way less impressed by my second visit. Maybe it was the different manicurist, but I felt like my gel manicure was hastily done. The line of polish bordering my cuticles was sloppy and jagged, and it began chipping within days. It also somehow cost more than the first time - which makes no sense at all. I guess my hunt for a consistently great nail salon continues. read more

This is just another over priced nail salon that rushes through your nails. Went there recently and got the ANC done and they barely even filed my nails. They didn't cut my cuticles or do any of the normal motions of a manicure. I'm not even slightly impressed and I will not be returning. read more

Very clean and nice....great pedicure! Will be coming back....don't understand the poor reviews. I guess everyone has a bad day Nice selection of ANC colors. read more

I was visiting Albany, went to the local Colony Center mall, and was in need of new gel Manicure. Asked at the counter ( at Deluxe Nail & Spa)if they had time, wasn't sure if I would go there, they whisked me in. The beautiful French Manicure that Lisa did passed my expectations. I've been getting these for a few yrs. This woman actually made sure every nail was even.....I don't do much feedback, but honestly, 3 wks later & I'm still looking at them. I highly recommend them and Albany. read more

I went here a couple years ago, I was passing through and had just broken a nail. It was during rush hour and they started me pretty quick to do my repair. After they fixed my one nail they didn't even charge me, they just said come back and see us! Super sweet, pretty atmosphere, made me feel special! I just had a terrible experience at my current salon, I think I'll start going here from now on. read more
