    This nail salon was very quiet, clean, and relaxing. The lady (maybe the owner?) that did my gel manicure did a superb job. However, the lady who did my gel pedicure did a terrible job (none of nails are a uniform shape). So yeah, because of the great manicure and everyone being so nice, it's a 4 star situation for me. I'll spare you a photo of my feet.

    Very kind, quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Extreme attention to detail - nail techs were super nice and really focused on giving a great experience and great result. Went with a friend and we got to do mani pedis together and it was just an awesome time. I've been in the area for 4+ years and I have officially found a new nail place!! Will be coming back. I got a French manicure and they even asked how thick i wanted it and went over it twice to make sure it was perfect. :)))

    Discovered this place a few months ago and have been coming ever since. I got gel 2.5 weeks ago, and now, they're obviously grown out but nails are still perfect. From all the nail salons I've tried in UWS, this place is the best. The quality is great, very good service, place is kept clean, and their prices can't be beat for the kind of detail they provide. Will definitely continue coming here.

    I recently moved to the area and am looking for a nail salon. I visited this salon for a manicure (no color) and pedicure earlier this afternoon after reading a few great Yelp reviews, but I was not impressed. I was greeted upon walking in, and they have a great color selection- I'll give them that. But the quality of service was really lacking. Flor, who did my nails, was not in the best mood for whatever reason, and her frustration was clear. It made for painful cuticle care and a messier job than I would've liked. My fingernails were not filed evenly, and my pedicure is "bubbly" and has already chipped! I was there only 6 hours ago. My services for the day came to $46. I hate to post a picture of my feet, but I just wanted to get the point across.

Since I've stumbled upon this spot, I've never looked back. It's easy to make an appointment here: I recommend making it through Yelp, so they can set you up with someone who specializes in the service you're looking for. Appointments can be made a week in advance, and there's always availabilities. If you're more spontaneous though, they can almost always accommodate walk ins too! Miki is my girl. I always get gel nails and love a good nail art moment, and Miki can always pull off any design I bring to the table. She's freehanded all sorts of crazy designs for me, and I get compliments from people all the time about them. I don't know what they put in these gel nails either, but they last super well. All my sets have lasted long enough for my nails to grow out, get cut, and then some. I'm a nurse, so I wash my hands all the time, but these nails not only stay on, but stay uncracked! I've had nails from here that lasted 2-3 months easily. Also, if you're into cat eye polish, this place has a lot of color options! They also do a lot of unique cat eye patterns, and they do the cat eye heart design super well. Anyway, give this place a shot! You can't go wrong with them!

As a note, their website allows you to request a service but you need to contact them directly to book the appointment itself. The spa is gorgeous, clean, and very zen.

The gel stayed on, didn't chip, and I was honestly impressed, so I kept going back. The second time was fine too. On my third visit, they scheduled me with a junior technician and my nails chipped within three days. I was traveling, and by the time I got back to New York, they told me their one-week guarantee had expired and I'd need a new appointment, which was frustrating. Twelve days ago, I went in again and got a Japanese gel manicure. Today, on day thirteen, six nails lifted and the gel peeled off completely. I'm going to cancel my upcoming appointment and try a Russian manicure elsewhere. For almost a hundred dollars with tip and tax, the quality just isn't there.

However, the last few times I've come in, I've been really disappointed with both the service and quality.(I did take a break from the salon before this last visit.) One issue was that the price increase was never communicated upfront - typically should before starting the service. More importantly, the quality of the nails was below par. The nails didn't look natural, the French tip shape was a little thick, I asked if the thickness could be adjusted, the technician became slightly agitated and denied me. I ended up leaving unhappy. I was over charged for a mediocre job. I had to go to another salon just 3 days later to redo the entire set. They even pointed out that the gel was already cracking and told me the work hadn't been done properly - just 3 days later. A waste of money and time! I wanted to share this feedback because I've genuinely supported this salon for years, and it's disappointing to feel the quality, communication, and overall customer experience have declined. That visit was my last visit. I will not recommend this salon again. Also, they should treat their regular with much more value.

    I booked a detailed nail art appointment with Sandra after sending my desired design to Art Up…read more Even though there is a price range for the session, beware of upcharge for senior artist. Sandra is a senior artist, so her price is higher. The studio also charged $10 more to remove my existing dip powder set in addition to their normal removal fee (which applies to gel only). My nails ended up costing $210 in cash (they only take cash here). While I was content with the outcome, it was not close to the original design I sent. I felt that there could have been better communication up front about the extra charges. I would prefer to be informed before they start working on my nails instead of during, where there's no option to back out. It has been 3 weeks, I noticed the colors have faded, and the top coat on a few nails peeled at the edge. Other than that, no broken nails or anything major.
