Honestly the ONLY salon I go to... all the ladies are very welcoming and nice! Jessie is my personal favorite; 5.5 years she has been doing my mani/pedi/gel/massages, you name it. Some of the pictures attached. The French mani wouldn't have happened without Happy spending time to find me these gold stripes!! A very clean salon, everything is sanitized. Never a wait for more than 10-15min tops. They offer a variety of services so there is always to choose from! Most importantly, they all know why they are doing which is refreshing actually. Pricing is cheaper than most salons. $30 for reg mani/pedi is a steal so hurry up and book your appt! read more

I've been looking for an affordable spot in Chelsea to get my eyebrows waxed, and I finally found it. They also have a 10 punches get one free loyalty card for waxes, which other local nail salons is tried don't offer. The salon is nice and clean when you walk in. The people who work there are pretty friendly, too. The waxing room is down in the basement and it's nothing special. It's a very small no frills room with the usual little table to lay on. I've had two different women do my brows and both have done a good job. Professional, no bad breath as they hover over my face (you know how unfortunate that can be ) It's about $10 for the eyebrow wax, which is about on par or lower end for a nail salon and I'm happy with the service! read more

Literally perfect I went here on a whim during my lunch break and they were so conscious of how much time I had. They fixed the most BOTCHED nails that I had from another salon (I had low expectations). I've been a lot of places that are unkind, and these women are sooo nice and accommodating! They payed attention to every detail. Also note that my nail beds aren't showing- I hate when I leave the salon and there's a gap at the base of my nails. They did so good! read more

Of course when I find a place I like they end up closing. Stopped by yesterday to test out a salon in my work area. Jessica took great care of my service, gel manicure and regular pedicure. Great attention to detail, took her time, and was very kind. It's a shame this place is closing soon, I hope they find a new place to open soon. I would definitely travel for this service again. read more

I have no idea why this place isn't rated 5 stars. The environment is nice and it's in a great area. The gel mani was done very professionally and shaped well. I spoke to the nail technician about a nail that looked crooked and she fixed it with no fuss. The overall environment of this nail salon is outstanding you feel very relaxed and the soothing music makes you feel like you're in a far away oasis. The nail technician even helped me pick the color for my nails and they matched perfectly and were just in season for the spring!!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE!! I GOT A MAJOR INFECTION AFTER GETTING MY NAILS DONE HERE! While doing my nails, the person was scraping so hard that my fingers were starting to bleed. Even when I asked them to go lighter the did not stop. Afterwards I had scabs all over my cuticles which then got infected. It was so bad I had to go to the doctors office and go on an antibiotic. It took months for my nails to get back to normal and for the infected, dead part of my nails to grow back. read more

Please save your money. You are thinking, "It can't be *that* bad." Trust me. It's worse. My 13-year-old daughter and I were there to have our brows waxed and nails filled. The nails are the WORST. The brows look good but left a wax burn on my daughter. I really can't tell you how bad the nails are. Think bumpy, lumpy and crooked. Awful. It is terrible. Because of how we were acting (although we were polite), they offered to fix it if we "ran into a problem" but I will not go back there. I spent $127 (plus $20 in tips, which was only because I wanted to get out politely and graciously and we were the last in the shop). It looks AWFUL!!!!!!!!!! read more

I really want to give this place five stars, but the customer service is so bad, I am choosing to never come to this nail salon again. I entered the salon happy and pleasant and automatically felt the dread in the room. You come to nail salons to feel relaxed and pampered. Instead, I felt like I was doing them a disservice just being there. I also did not appreciate the constant conversations that were had about my nails in their native tongue (I totally understand speaking casually, but lifting my finger to show the other nail specialist what she was talking about re: my nails was just not cool). read more

I'm struggling with why reviews of Nail Spa & Beyond are so mediocre. In the Chelsea hood, nail joints are expensive and more expensive. After trying all the more convenient places more on 7th Avenue, I've decided that Nail Spa and Beyond is my go to joint whenever I have time. It's clean, has the nice massagey chairs, and the girls are fast, accurate, and nice. A mani + pedi is $29, which I think is about $10 cheaper than other comparable places. Bonus, add in a 15 minute massage for another $9 (or was it $10) and I was in heaven! I've had Bonnie and Judy before, and they are both fabulous and fast. In the winter, I would frequently wear tights and oops... NOT so great post pedicure, getting my tights back on. Judy was so service oriented, she actually helped me get my tights back on! I'm not sure anyone else who would do that. If you speak mandarin chinese, most folks here speak chinese, so this is your opportunity to practice (for me its my Chinese of a 5 year old). read more

This is a wonderful place! They has a great deals. The service is great.They are friendly and nice to talk.It's very clean and has lot of nail polish you can choose. I went there last week do the gel manicure,I love it ,and have a great massage.I lover this place! read more

Great find! Place is super clean and the workers are friendly. I am super indecisive and they let me take my time to choose my color and design. I go my usual spot in lower Manhattan but maybe I will come here from now on. It's day three and my nails still looks great. Resonance price too! The worker that helped me did great work, just forgot her name lol. read more

I broke an acrylic nail while volunteering and they repaired the nail and reinforced a few that were ready to crack. Unfortunately, the next day, that is exactly what happened. They fixed these nails at no extra cost. I was so happy with the service and results, that I highly recommend this salon. They are friendly and professional. Thank you! read more

This was the worst nail salon I have ever been a customer of. I walked in Monday afternoon for a pedicure, acrylic nails with a manicure over them. The pedicure itself was fine, rushed and no removal of cuticles and 25 second (timed) massage- whatever fine. The manicure was where the issue lies. I explained I wanted fake nails put on, in an oval shape. The technician cut my real nails as short as they could go (not necessary) and attached nails with nail glue and then started shaping. She clearly didn't understand what an oval shape was even after showing her multiple pictures. We had to REMOVE the first set of fake nails glued on. Second set goes on, they are not secure with glue and I mention it to the technician and she tells me not to worry. Fast forward to being in the salon for three hours... I leave with a 65 dollars total manicure that was uneven, thick, and my nails were too long (also didn't push back or cut my cuticles and my left thumb was bleeding - see attached picture) When leaving I tipped 10 dollars on top of an 87 dollar bill, and was bullied into leaving more money even tho I was COMPLETELY UNHAPPY and verbalized that while in the chair, with the service provided. I was very upset mainly because I went here to get my nails done for my engagement party tomorrow but figured I would just deal all with it, even tho my friend told me my nails looked like spatulas. On Tuesday (less than 12 hours) I woke up with one nail already peeled off. Later in the day, while walking, two more broke. It is now 2 days after and my nails look like the picture attached. I also want to just say that I don't work with my hands, I have an office job so there was no undue pressure or stress on my nails. I urge anyone reading this review to go somewhere else as I essentially got taken advantage of and am out 100 dollars for these HORRIBLE nails. Please please don't go here. read more

Went the other night after work and they were clean fast and perfectly done. Felt so good to get a pedicure again. Thanks so much!!!

Wow I'm very disappointed...literally had these done 6 hours ago and they are already chipped/yellowed. Not sure how this happens as I've been home all day. Super sad :( read more

Came here with a friend before dinner for a quick mani. No wait, staff was friendly enough, large selection of colors. I wouldn't say this place screams sterility but it didn't creep me out by any means either. Didn't do the best job cleaning up the sides of my nails but for 11$ it did a job enough job. read more

Jessica is incredible and make sure to add on the 10 min massage at the end. Walked in after having lunch around the corner and they took me in immediately. Very meticulous job of making sure my gel manicure was perfect -- even asking if I wanted another coat. Will definitely keep their punchchard and make this my nail place in Manhattan. read more

Terrible! I screamed 2 times during the massage due to pain - the lady literally has torn the skin under my toes! Also laquer chopped next day and feet were smudged although I sat 30 min at the dryer... read more

First time trying out this nail place. Very clean and friendly staff, I was also happy to see so much options for nail polish. I wanted tips and gel color, but I was very disappointed with the results. The shape wasn't done right even though I asked lady to file more and give more shape, and 2 days after my "gel" color already started chipping! Gel is suppose to at least last 2 weeks minimum. I hope they're able to fix this issue and re do my gel color. I also think it chipped so quickly because the lady didn't add any clear base before applying the color I chose. read more

Waltzed in here on a whim with a friend to see what the wait would be like for two manis and pedis. It was a late Saturday afternoon, but they were able to take us right away. Color selection was diverse, mostly Esse and O.P.I.(also, gels were available). Pedicure chairs were large, lounge-y, and massage-y, as they should be. My nail tech did a quality job on my feet and hands. She offered a 15 minute foot massage for $9 extra, so I went for it. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a free paraffin treatment for my heels at the end. Great for a no-fuss, decently-priced, quickie mani/pedi. read more

It's really hard to find a great nail salon in the city (which sounds unbelievable but trust me, it's true). Factor in something that's relatively cost effective and the probablility of running into one drops even lower. Fortunately, Nail Spa & Beyond is just good enough that if I need a manicure, pedicure or fill-in ASAP, I know I can count on them. The prices are decent and the staff is nice. The place is small -on my last visit they sent me to the basement because there weren't enough nail dryers on the main floor. I felt like a kid being sent to his room with no dinner. And unfortunately, their nail polish selection isn't that extensive (in my humble opinion). Aside from that, I think they do a much better job than most other establishments and luckily they're relatively close to where I live. read more

This is one of the worst nail salons that I have ever had the misfortune of ever using. I was lured into the salon with one of those highly misleading promotional offers, only to be aggressively upsold for additional services, all of which I firmly rejected. Of course, I was given massive attitude. Once the woman who had been working with me realized that I was simply getting the basic mani-pedi, she passed me over to a more junior staff member. This individual gave me a marginal service experience. I have been getting mani-pedi service on a regular basis for over three decades. I am a male, and I always ask for a buff as I do not like polish. In all my years of experience, I have NEVER been charged for a buff. That being said, when I was checking out, they tried to charge me for the buff, which actually sucked as there was no real shine achieved. The additional cost of the buff was roughly equal to what I would have tipped the manicurist, so I simply threw the cash on the counter and left. Now the business needed to make the decision: did the manicurist get the tip, thus properly eliminating a questionable charge for my buff or do they run the amount through the cash register, and not give the manicurist a tip. I had successfully turned the table. Now the problem was there's, not mine. I will NEVER return to this shady business, and I suggest that you go elsewhere as well. You've Been Warned!! read more

This is my go-to place for a lunch time mani/pedi during the week. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes. Most importantly, they do a great job. I've had regular (not gel) manicures done here that lasted over 2 weeks without chipping. Compared to most nail salons in Manhattan, their prices are beyond reasonable. Definitely "splurge" for the $1 quick-dry solution. It really works! read more

Came here for a mani-pedi. It cost $32 and took 45 minutes. Not horrible but also nothing above and beyond. Quite an average experience at a low-cost asian spa in NYC. read more

I come here because it's close to my office but I'm going to have to stop. After three days with a white gel manicure my nails completely discolored to a yellow-brown color, which is due to either bad topcoat or bad polish. Such a waste of $40! read more

if I could give negative stars I would. Went for a manicure asked for my nails to be short and round (see picture of what short and round mean at the Nail Spa whatever). And the guy said... oh you asked for short. Well, I definitely got short. Avoid by all means. read more

Fab finger deal alert! Want a mani, pedi and 15 minute massage? Nail Spa & Beyond with give you the trifecta for only $39. That's some serious pampering in a clean, bright spot nestled in Chelsea. They do a decent job and are super friendly so certainly swing through on your next Saturday stroll. read more

Recently opened "Nail Spa & Beyond" offers a $25 mani-pedi, so naturally I jumped on the moderately priced opportunity. The pedicure was great...he really went to town with the foot scrubber, and the calf massage felt great. The manicure was also lovely. So why the low score? As I was inspecting my right hand as he was applying a second layer of polish on my left, I noticed a smear of blood...BLOOD...and it wasn't mine. I asked if he was bleeding, to which he responded by checking out his own digits. He wiped my hand and wiped his finger, and offered a half-assed "Sorry." I was too stunned to ask him to stop, but as I thought about it more, I desperately wanted to mom-out. I didn't, but I did notice that Mr. BloodyHandMan popped out, and returned only to have applied Neosporin and begin working on another girl. This experience is too bad, though; the actual mani-ped sans blood was pretty good. In any case, if you like blood-free mani-pedi's, I'd suggest you go elsewhere. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I get the powder manicure with Happy who is by far the best nail technician I've ever had. She is so sweet, detail oriented and really listens and pays attention to her work. I've been to sooo many nail salons around the city and always have a problem with 1. Price 2. Customer service and 3. Sanitation and this place blew me out of the water. I almost didn't want to review it bc I didn't want my secret spot to blow up but I couldn't resist. The prices are also on point at only $40 for a powder manicure. Now for the technical part: I've been getting gel manicures for over 5 years and constantly struggle bc they destroy your nails and the UV lights can't be too good. I recently tried the powder and my nails have never been better. They last up to a month or more and I work with my hands! If you're looking for great prices, sweet ladies and a clean and talented nail salon this is your place! read more

Gone here a couple of times and each time my gel manicure only lasts TWO days! The polish peels right off! My first time it peeled off, they told me to come back and they would fix it, thinking it was just the color I picked. Then I went back, picked a different color and it did the SAME thing!! Will not be going back. read more

Yes, they do try to up sell you, but for a quick no frills mani or pedi, this place gets the job done.

This is my favorite nail salon. They are super friendly, efficient, thorough, and clean. They also have a great perk of being able to trade your foot message (that comes with a pedicure) for a back massage, which I usually do. I've had so many pedicures, manicures, and gel manicures here and always come back! read more

Spent $75 on a gel mani and gel pedi (which is A LOT) and there were no extras or even the basic level of spa service. My nails look fine and the manicurist was nice, but there was not even a minute of a foot/leg/hand massage. Didn't do anything to remove dead skin or rough patches on my feet. I also asked her to not cut my cuticles and made she she understood - and then she cut the cuticles on three of my fingers! WTF. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Awful job for an even worst customer services. Do NOT come here. They couldn't care less about customers and if you bring up mistakes they dismiss you quickly. read more

Not sure where the bad reviews are coming from. This place is a great deal - the place is clean and the staff is always friendly. I always get the mani/pedi/massage for $39. Can't beat it! I've tried every nail salon in this area several times and this is my favorite! read more

Worst spa experience ever!!! They were talking us into a package, manicure plus "spa pedicure" and 10min massage for $55; our fault we did not ask what was included in the spa pedicure...the only "benefit"was a a quick peel, not even rubbed but rather patched on the calves and a green cream left on our legs for 4minutes...no callus removal, no extra massage, nothing I'm used to when I get a spa pedicure. Not to mention that the therapists are not trained well. When I go to QQ nails I get a real spa pedicure(which includes callus removal, 15min massage, a peel and a mask), plus an excellent mani and a 19min chair massage for $70...plus the therapists are amazing!! Will never come back! read more
