I had such a great experience here! The gel removal was super clean and meticulous, which I really appreciated. I showed a picture for a sheer pink chrome look, and it came out even better than I imagined. And it was all done within an hour. The owner Amy was very friendly and skilled. She suggested trendy shapes that really suited my nail bed, which made a huge difference in the final result. Everything was extremely clean and sterile, and you can tell there's a lot of attention to detail throughout the process. I'm honestly obsessed with how my nails turned out. Definitely book in advance--they're worth it! read more

Came in for a pedicure with my friend, I called ahead to make an appointment but I think walk ins would be just fine too. Thought their regular polish color selection was amazing! The ladies there were super nice too and I appreciated the massage chairs. They did a great job - I'll be back! Will bring cash too, since it's 3% fee with credit card. read more

Not usually one to leave reviews, but I was so happy with my experience at NBY I wanted to share!! Got the most perfect hard gel manicure, Amy took her time to make my nails and cuticles look really great. I am so happy with my set and so excited to go back! read more

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. read more

They were super friendly. Definitely a sweetspot. You have to walk up some stairs. The entrance definitely discourages some people, but it is so clean and quiet and nice, and the nail techs are super professional read more

Love this place! Even though it's on the 2nd floor, it feels surprisingly spacious, calm, and relaxing inside. The atmosphere makes you feel instantly at ease. Everyone here is so friendly, professional, and attentive--it's always such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. read more

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. :))) read more

Great place and hospitality. The owner is kind and funny! Have had my fair share of issues at other salons in the UWS, but this spot has been the best so far. They even let me in after closing! read more

First time here and loved the experience. Very clean and professional. Sook was the person doing my mani and pedi and she was great. She was attentive and efficient and gave me a great quick leg and arm massage. Only thing was not having a lot of selection (at least not that I saw) but that's ok because they had my color. read more

Always incredibly kind and do an excellent job. I don't do me days a lot, and I know this is somewhere I can go to relax and leave feeling good when I do. Amy especially is really wonderful. read more

Best nail salon on the UWS. The salon is clean and well taken care of. The technicians are excellent and very sweet

best gel manicure i have ever received. I even had a broken nail that they fixed perfectly! their gel color selection is huge and I walked away with beautiful sparkly nails and some cute flower decals. while i was there, they also fixed the manicure of a woman who came in super quickly and very professionally. my nails look spectacular after going to nails by young! I highly recommend this salon. read more

customer service no good price to expense bad smell inside employers not professional

Great attention to detail and long lasting gel Manicure with a wide selection of brands and colors. No powder dip, but still good selection. I liked that it was second floor and therefore a bit quieter and could really relax without a bunch of walk-ins. Service was friendly and attentive and a god price. I do wish the pedicure massage was a bit longer and they offered water/tea. read more

Incredible service and amazing job! They made me a customer color when I wanted something in the middle of what they had

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. read more

Really like this salon! The staff is very nice, the quality of work is satisfactory and the prices are great (paid 88 for gel mani pedi - not so bad!) happy to make this my go-to nail salon. read more

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. read more

Nail By Young - Pedicure is 6 hours old and has chipped. And notice the "bubbles" too - Reflexology Near Me - New York, New York

Place: Very clean, calm, and pretty. The place is almost at the corner of 72nd and Amsterdam, very easy to spot and access. You have to buzz a buzzer for the door to open, and an nail technician will greet you at the door. Service: Flor did an amazing job! She was very precise and very quick. I got a gel manicure and at extremely happy with the results! The manicure was only $37 but they have quite a few deals. Would go again! read more

I have been coming here for years. They Always do a quality job. Clean and Quiet low key environment.

Best acrylic nails I've ever had done! They spent time helping me find the perfect color. They were also extremely meticulous with nail shape and design! read more

Every time I go to Nails by Young, I am reminded of how superior their service is relative to neighboring nail salons. The environment is tidy, clean and calm. New files and buffs are used for each person. The technicians are thoughtful, kind and attentive. They even went so far as to get me a glass of water and a cough drop. I love the fact they don't rush the service and my manicures last much longer than other salons as a result. Gel manicure is $39 and so worth it. Support this lovely gem on the UWS! read more

Amazing gem on the upper west side! I've gotten both regular and gel mani pedis and they always do such a great job. They take their time and the pricing is fair. read more

I love Nail by Young. I followed the new owners from Chelsea uptown. I always get great results from a friendly staff. Amy takes her time with my gel manicures which usually last for at least three weeks. read more

This salon is under new ownership and I will continue to patronize it. The salon is clean, spacious and well-run, with an experienced and friendly staff. I only do pedicures with some reflexology and regular manicures and it is always a relaxing and positive experience.- I would highly recommend this Nails by Young. Nice to know they are now open on Sundays, which is a change from previously. read more

Wonderful experience! Sook gave me what is quite possibly the best gel mani/pedi I've ever had. She took her time and was super thorough and gentle. Clean, friendly, relaxing environment. Very happy with my nails. Worth every penny. read more

Randomly picked this salon on impulse (for pedi's) based on visual scan of cleanliness and set up. Turned out to be better than excellent. Atmosphere was spa like and relaxing, not usual tumult, noise level and activity of most mani/ pedi salons. Bertha did my pedi and she is FANTASTIC!!! Sonia did the other pedi and she was equally great. Highly recommend this place and prices are more than reasonable. read more

Tried a few nail salons in the area but I keep coming back to this salon. It's clean, service is always efficient, and the techs always do a superb job. read more

I'll keep this short and sweet... I love the service provided by Veronica! She's so patient and nice!! I will continue going back to this nail salon. Price: reasonable Facilities: clean Color selection: amazing! Edited to update: I've had my color for two weeks, and it is impressive! I can see the growth of my nails, but chipping is minuscule! I'm sure that I could let it go for longer. read more

A simply fantastic nail salon on the UWS! I used to frequent another nail salon closer to me, but that placed closed and I needed another reliable place somewhat closer to me. Luckily, stumbled across this and now after having had their consistently great service with several visits, I can say undoubtedly that I love this nail salon! What I also love about them besides their impeccable nail work, color selection, and strong massages (as if those weren't enough!), is that they do a good job no matter what you are there for. This is why I always try to tip 25-30% (depending on the cash I remember to bring that day lol). The only opportunity for improvement I would recommend is to start carrying Zoya brand nail polishes. But otherwise, I'd still come back whenever I get lazy from my home manicures. read more

I had the most perfect pedicure & gel manicure tonight by Maricela at Nails by Young! One of the best in the city. I was greeted at the entrance on the 2nd floor (its a walk up). The space is bright, large & very very clean. The same lady that greeted me, helped me get my coat off, offered to hang my coat & helped me find the perfect gel color. I was looking for dark red. Maricela found the CND gel in color Oxford and it was perfect. She even let me try 3 different gel colors on her own nails. She also found a matching color for my pedicure in Essie Wicked. Pedicure: Maricela meticulously & gently cleaned my toes. She gave me foot scrub & paraffin wrap around my heels, LOVE! The massage chair was strong and really gives you a nice relaxing back massage. She applied the color to perfection! Gel Manicure: This is the best gel manicure I've ever had. I've tried many places in the city. Again, Maricela meticulously & gently cleaned my nails. She applied the gel thinly & evenly to perfection! Maricela is a Gel Manicure Pro! Very hard to find. My gel manicure looks amazing & natural! I found my new nail place. I was in & out in 1 hour. $55 total for both pedicure & gel manicure. The place is quite & very relaxing. I highly recommend Maricela! She's fabulous! Will return again soon. read more

My mom and I were near 72nd street and in the mood for a relaxing manicure. We yelped (obviously) and found Nail by Young. My mom was, at first, a little weirded out that the nail salon was not on the first floor but rather located in a small building and up a flight of stairs. However, I convinced her to give it a try and we were happily shocked when we got upstairs to the salon! The salon is bright and extremely clean. In addition, it is decorated beautifully with many plants that gave it a jungle or tree house feel. They played soothing classical music, too. I could have closed my eyes and taken a nap easily! But onto the manicure...all of the staff was extremely friendly and the woman who did my nails did a fast but thorough job. I was very pleased with it. They also have a fantastic selection of polish colors and all of the bottles looked relatively new and full (rather than at some other places I've been where the polish is old and then subsequently easily chips). There were many women in the salon when we went even though it was an off hour so be prepared to possibly have to wait for a short while, but in my opinion this was a good sign that they have many loyal customers! read more

I moved to uws 3 years ago from east village and was worried I will have to keep going to my go to place there. Luckily after trying a few spots, I found the same experience here. The facility is nice and clean, the staff is great and very friendly. read more

The salon was clean and they follow very strict COVID protocols (temperature checks, mask, limited capacity and must sign a health form). I received a reflexology pedicure and back massage from Bertha. It was great the polish was neat, and the massage felt great. I would return for her services. read more

My favorite nail place! Wonderful staff, and they always do a perfect job! I've never had anything but an amazing experience! As a wonderful bonus, they have great WiFi. read more

Super quick and a great place to get your nails done on your lunch break! AMAZING selection of colors - definitely more than your average salon. Wish the dryers were a little bit more modern. read more

Updated review** I realized I may have been too harsh on my first review. I came back a second visit and give this a 3 star review. The mani/pedi is quick but the service is good and the staff are kind. The place is clean and the equipment is sterile. Still no massage post-mani/pedi but the people are nice and price is right. Can't beat that in the UWS. read more

I recently moved to the UWS and wanted a new nail salon. If you're like me, having your go-to nail salon is key. I've been going to the same salon for the last 5 years and it was hard for me to part. However, I came across Nail By Young and I am thrilled. It is extremely clean, the staff members are skilled and friendly, and for great quality, it is affordable. It is hardly overly crowded which makes the experience more enjoyable, and I have been going here since I first tried it a couple months ago. I typically get a gel manicure, pedicure, and add on a massage. It's great! read more
