I came in last minute for a Brazilian wax because my usual place had closed, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing. I'm 7 months pregnant and explained that I can't easily see or trim the area myself, but the technician repeatedly made comments about how long the hair was and how she'd "never seen it like this," and she's "never taken so long on a brazilian," which made me feel judged and uncomfortable. The wax took about an hour, which is much longer than any Brazilian I've had before. Even with that time, the service wasn't fully completed -- she said she couldn't remove some of the inner hairs and initially skipped the backside until I insisted her to do it. I did appreciate that she did a nice job threading my eyebrows, which is why I'm giving two stars, but overall the waxing service was not a good experience. I didn't feel comfortable during the appointment and wouldn't return for waxing services again. read more

Amazing nails at an amazing price! I would definitely recommend. I got gel and it took about an hour because she had to take off my original gel. read more

One of the best dip powder manicures I've had. I went in with no booking and no wait time. My manicurist took her time taking off my previous powder manicure, prepping the nails, making the shape look good and even, cut my cuticles and even gave me a little massage at the end to top it off. She filed my nails down from the powder manually (no auto/electric nail file) so it came out super even and beautifully tapered. I'd mark down maybe quarter of a point for the limited selection of powder nail colours (I had wanted maybe a more muted colour than pictured) and the clean up at the end could have been just a little more thorough but nothing a couple of hand washes can't clean up by myself. True test now is to see if any cracks appear and how long these nails last. read more

I was nervous coming here due to the reviews on yelp but was pleasantly surprised. I got a regular mani/pedicure + 10 min foot massage +10 minute back massage by Rita. She took her time, did a wonderful job with my nails, and her hands felt like magic-- she gave me an amazing massage. Will definitely keep going here, specifically to Rita! read more

Meh. That's the best way to describe Grace NY Nails. I try to avoid this place, but sometimes when I'm desperate (e.g., need to get my gel manicure off) or in a rush, I go here because it's close to me. They have a deal for mani-pedis between Monday-Thursday for $25. With tax, it's about $26.50. There's a $10 minimum on card and tips are cash only. Pedicure: The technician who worked on me was nice, but the paint job was mediocre. Despite drying for over 30 minutes, my toe nail and pinky nail got severely messed up after they saran-wrapped it. As in, half of the polish was gone and looked pretty bad. A+ for the strong massage though. Manicure: Within 6 hours, my manicure was also chipping. Similarly, the coats were too heavy. Now my pain point here is that my technician would go under my nails to clean them with a stick and would go tooooooo deep to the point that my thumb was in pain for 2 days. The slightest touch would hurt. Service: Overall, the ladies are nice. They will try to up-sell you, but that's pretty normal nowadays. Annoying, yes, but business. I went back the next day to have my pedicure fixed (I'm going on a beach trip and that's the whole reason why I went in!) and the lady was nice enough to fix it and even offer to fix my other nails as well. I declined that part as I was short on time and don't have high hopes for it lasting. TL;DR: If you're in a time crunch, sure. If you just need to have your gel manicure, sure. Massage? Yeah, maybe. If you want a quality mani-pedi and have time, go elsewhere. (I personally love Bamboo 35 Nails) read more

Do not go here... EXTREMELY rude and scammed me/kept a tip when services were not provided. On 3/28 I had a manicure/pedicure reservation through an app called classpass that books appointments similar to groupon in that you pay in advance for the service you want and at a discounted rate. Upon arrival, I confirmed with an employee at Grace Nails that I was here for my reservation through the classpass app. She nodded and had me sit for the pedicure, never asking or questioning what classpass was. Besides the point, I had the roughest, most painful pedicure of my life... the hot towel literally left burn marks on my toes. I then went to sit for a manicure and before she was about to paint my nails I tipped her $10 (which is almost a 50% tip on the discounted services) and asked if I could pay in cash to add on a massage since the pedicure and manicure were prepaid. Another woman who worked there stood up and aggressively told me that nothing has been paid for. I showed her the class pass app, the email confirmation and the credits used and she rudely told me she had no idea what i was talking about and I explained that I confirmed I was booked through classpass when I arrived. She then aggressively told me I had to pay for the pedicure and I told her I just wanted to leave without finishing the manicure and was extremely uncomfortable. She charged me $23 for the pedicure and the woman had the audacity to keep the $10 tip without providing the services for the manicure. They said they never heard of classpass even though the address, phone number and name of the place was the same on the app AND the classpass system confirms your appointment with a rep from whatever salon you book with. Between the extremely rude demeanor of the employees, the painful pedicure and lack of apology PLUS keeping an extremely generous tip.... definitely do not recommend.. read more

Went to get my nails done right after work and hot very lucky that the wait was only 5 minutes. Sonja did my nails and I may have spelt the name wrong, my apologies if so. She did a phenomenal job! They look great and she took care of all of my requests including to push the cuticles back a lot and even fixed a nail for me. I got the gel manicure which was $30 . Very reasonable for the service I got. I am very pleased and will definitely be coming back . Just a quick update, my gel manicure was $30, I had her fix a nail which was $3 and I left a $5 tip, therefore my bill should have come out to no more than $40 with tax, unfortunately they over charged me, perhaps it was a mistake I will call and ask. Always take your receipt!!! read more

I got a pedicure here 2 weeks ago and my red polish pedicure still looks perfect. Not one chip. They took my temperature when I walked in. They dont want you touching the bottles of nail polish. disposable files etc were used during the pedicure. There are no magazines anymore. Service was pleasant. Place is clean and quiet. I think my pedicure was $25 + tax etc. They didnt try to upsell me or push anything on me (phew!). I dont know why they get bad reviews. The place is fine. read more

I love this nail saloon in our neighborhood! Sanju - a master of manicure and Sumi as a pedicurist are the best! I recommend them! read more

They do not wear masks!! When I went to get my eyebrows done, lady did my eyebrows by putting the thread In her mouth. They did not have any open windows and they did NOT sanitize their hands or clean the pay station area. Do not go to this salon, they do not do nails nicely either. read more

I had a comp day on a Monday, and I felt like getting a pedicure. After looking at various nearby places, I decided on Grace NY Nails, and I'm so glad I did! First, they're up front about their prices. They have menus posted and gave me an itemized receipt at the end. I appreciate that. Second, their spa pedicure was absolutely worth the price. I've had he higher-level spa pedicures at other places, but none that included so many features. And the 10-minute foot and leg massage is worth its weight in gold. Blanca did an incredible job. My legs were tired and sore from marching in the Pride March the day before, and I left feeling calm and rejuvenated. I got a French tip pedicure, which was an additional $5 (which is totally reasonable), and Blanca spent a lot of time making sure everything was perfect before moving on. Third, bonus neck and shoulder massage! I didn't realize that was part of the spa pedicure package, but when I went over to the dryers, I got one. It was the icing on the cake for me. Fourth, they're open on Mondays! That's fantastic! They also have a Monday-Thursday deal for mani-pedis which I did not partake in today, but I made a mental note of it for later. Overall, I'm extremely impressed with Grace NY Nails, and I plan to make this my go-to spot for pedicures. read more

The paint job here is very mediocre, and so is the customer service. The complimentary foot massage lasts like 2 seconds and they don't come check up on you once they sit you down to dry. I was on a time crunch and this was the only nail salon that wasn't busy which should've been the warning sign. read more

How can you go wrong with a $6 manicure? The nail salon is very pretty and clean. There are three pedicure stations and four nail stations. They offer other services, such as waxing and massages. They also sell jewelry in the store. The owner is very friendly. I plan on coming back to check out their other services. read more

My wife took my 2 kids here today. They didn't even turn on the water for their pedicure and they basically just painter their nails no lotion massage or anything. She could have done that at home. It was $32. When my wife told them it was expensive and that she goes to another place down the block that does a nice job with the kids (she didn't go there today because the wait was an hr) the woman didn't even care and basically ignored her. My mother in law also goes to grace but her or my wife will not go back. read more

they kind of dirty. I went in on Saturday for a mani pedi and I witnessed a worker coming back from the laundromat with wet towels/washcloths [that they put into the heat sanitizer] and begin to fold them -- using anything she could get her hands on them to separate them. a mani table. the massage chair... she dropped more than one on the floor in the process -- the unfinished wood floor [not treated/glossed]. and then put them back into the pile to be folded. on a good note, they have a callus gel remover that really works. read more

Filthy hideous establishment. Unless you want toe nail fungus and all sorts of hideous disease -- stay away! I had a manicure and watched via the mirror as one of the girls simply sprayed down the pedicure bath after a customer finished. I turned around and asked if she planned to disinfect the tub and she laughed at me!!! I now go to see the lovely lady at Beauty Town further down on Skillman. She is delightful and she has the highest standards of cleanliness. Do not go in here, girls. Disgusting. read more

The women who did my nails was incredibly rude. She cut my nail bed causing me to bleed and stated it was because of my dry skin. The nail job itself was a as bad as the service. She fully missed spots that I asked her fix. She just painted over the completed UV gel nails. It looks spotty and streaky with spots missing. Only thing going for it is that it's open till 8, but it's not worth it. Don't go there. read more

I used to come here until I saw how they clean the tubs for pedicures. I watched a woman get out after a pedicure as I waited for a manicure to dry. The nail technician simply rinsed the tub with water and asked the next customer to sit in the chair and proceeded with her manicure. Hello? Any disinfectant? Cleaning? I was appalled. I now go a little further down Skillman Ave to Beauty Town. They take cleanliness seriously. Stay far away from here. read more

I decided to give them another shot. Why, after such a bad experience, would I do this? Well, not only are they located closer to my house than any other nail salon, but during the freezing temperatures a few weeks ago, I suspected that my boyfriend was going to propose and wanted to make sure my nails looked great for the ring!! I'm not sure if management changes, but I had a very pleasant afternoon with the lovely ladies who currently work there. They were attentive and skilled and I will certainly continue to give them my business. (And the mani looked so great, I did a pedi too!) I now feel very lucky that this shop is so conveniently located for me. Just goes to show how everyone deserves another chance. read more

I had come here a few times last year as I like to support local businesss. They try to upsell to prices that are a bit steep and not worth the service. After swearing it off last year, I decided to give it another shot. The technician made me bleed with no aplologies. I insisted she let it be, but would not listen. When the bill came, I used a debit card. They do not allow you to put a tip on the card, but do not notify before or have any signage. They refused to rerun the card for a tip and said I had to go to a local business to use an ATM. There is just a feeling that customer service is not important. I will not return. read more

I've given the place several tries because it is convenient to my home. Sadly, it is consistently a disappointment. The staff is generally friendly however you get pressured into upgrading what you want which creates a tense feeling. It's always a rush job. I got the worst pedicure of my life here. Polish was all over my skin and was awful to get off. Second star is for the nice shoulder massage you get when you're done but ultimately, it's not worth it and I won't be returning. read more

Just got back from a manicure... I live around the corner and decided to get a quick ($6) manicure before I head out to a holiday party this evening. I brought my own polish because I had a specific color in mind, but changed my mind once I arrived, and decided to get a gel manicure. The woman (owner) was so gracious and gave me time to select a similar color and then took her time to paint my nails carefully - not rushing to get it over with. Tools were sanitized and they had a good selection of colors and brands (OPI and Essie and more). Someone came in to collect money on a bill and my manicure was momentarilly interrupted, though I was in no rush, both the woman and her husband apologized many times for the interruption and offered me a free 10 minute back massage (usually $13). The husband gave me a (strong) massage (not a wimpy light tap of his fingers you usually get after a manicure) while she finished up my nails and I left very pleased. My nails are shiny AND i feel like I shed a little bit of the week's stress from my back and shoulders. I will definitely be going back - a neighborhood staple. read more

Ah the best callus pedicure. My feet are so soft and clean. I felt like they really took their time with me.

Nice people and clean atmosphere but got acrylics (since I am a nail biter), only to find that they lasted one week! They started easily breaking one by one. That has never happened before with other places and I spent a good $60. Also, she did not get the shape down quite right. I hate to say it, but for the purposes of my visits, I will not be going back. Perhaps their regular mani pedis are ok? read more

This place is OK. If you are in a jam and need something quick, this place will suffice. The place advertises that they use disposable kits however none were used on me. Also the nail tech nicked my finger when she was cutting my cuticles and didn't apologize, not even a flinch. I get that it's the end of the day and everyone is tired but I felt that was just plain rude. I will not be returning to this place. read more

I had a great experience at this salon. The pedicure chairs are really comfortable . Great prices and friendly staff are very nice energy . I got a gel mani and a regular pedi and got my eyebrows threaded. Everything came out perfect. I highly recommend this place. read more

Apart from being dirty & unsanitary this place is a rip off. Twice I have been overcharged by "mistake " & charged nearly 20 percent "tax". Avoid at all costs. read more

grace the owner, does an amazing job doing nails. just tell them what you would like done and they do it. the prices are a little pricey $8 for a manicure but if you want cheap expect a bad job done to your nails this place is clean, quiet and the staff is friendly read more

Came here for New Year's. It's $6 a manicure but they surprise you with tax so it really is $6.27, which is no big deal. I wanted to come again until I asked Emma how much was the regular pedicure and she said $25! So if you want mani & pedi( I'm not sure if they have a special but if not) it is $31! This is not a good deal because there are other nearby places that are cheaper and better. However, I will continue to come for only manicures. They have waxing services, UV Gel, and other services. They even sell jewelry! read more

Am so happy and relaxed after my 1hour spa pedicure with Grace and Sita. It's called the Seacret, mineral spa sea salt pedicure product. I work 40+ hours on my feet and I needed to relax as well as give them TLC. Sita my pedicurista paid close attention to my feet and I am so pleased. All I had to say to Grace was to "hook me up". She knew what I needed. My feet felt this fresh aroma therapy and I just wish I took a before and after picture. My skin has never felt so soft and it's thanks to Seacret. The sea salt from the Dead Sea. Pure magic! Hence is why I love coming here and being treated like royalty. Best products, best staff. read more

This place is cute and they have a $6 special for manicures, but that is really to lure you in. All of their other services are about 30% more expensive than all of the other salons in the area. I really did like the place, but I probably won't go back if they don't lower prices slightly. Why would I pay $40 for something I can get for $30 a block away? read more

The worst manicure I have ever had. The nail tech filed my nails completely crooked and When I looked and said oh do you mind making them even and more square she said then proceeds to file the already slanted side of the nail again. I said no please file down the other side so it's even and she had no clue was I was talking about and kept saying they were even. She was using a dirty nail file and non of the tools were cleaned. I will never go back. So sad because this place is so close. read more

Third times a charm = NOPE! I wanted to like this place, it's so close to home. The previous poster correct owners rushes through manicures. Steps skipped when they get a few people waiting. If you go & get owner make sure she has changed the water you are soaking hands in.... read more

expensive, rushed, skipped steps during the pedicure, tax, nothing special
