Pedicure chairs.
Nadine K.

I've been coming here for several years, after trying out all the competition. They really are the best in the neighborhood. The staff is really wonderful...all very sweet ladies. They've also just added lots of new pedicure chairs and the place is bright and airy! Great prices too!!

A week and a half after getting my nails done and they still look great, shinny used the O.P.I gel

I've been in this place maybe 14 times and every time I'm left satisfied, my nails look great the conversations with the ladies are funny and for the price it's so worth it. I used to get my nails done by Ruth but I recently found out that she left so I got them done with Sandra and I got the gel manicure done and NEVER have my nails lasted for more than a week they always tend to chip I have to removed the gel off because I don't feel comfortable that they look like that. But this time around I'm so amazed that they are still looking good. I'm constantly cooking and washing plates too this is why I am amazed !! Sandra is exceptional!!

I love coming here to get my pedicure done because they really go to town on my feet... I Like that even when it is busy I don't feel rushed and the staff is super nice and sweet. I even got my own cubby whole which I love I have my personal nail filer and buffer. If I come and do my nails here it's only for a regular manicure or Gel... I am very particular when it comes to refilling my claws lol

I've been a customer here for 12 years and have never been disappointed. The only change I would make is if they started to use plastic to cover the basins. Olga is one of the best for manicures and pedicures and Kim is the best for gel manicures. You need to make an appointment if you want either of them to do your nails because they are always booked in advance, especially on weekends!

Gel manicure. Cool technique- base coat is dryed & wiped first. For color coat they alternate hands for every finger.
Jessica M.

One of the best nail's experience. The staff is very friendly. The service feels just like a spa. Very detailed work and they take their time with you. Decor is inviting and useful. Clean and sterilization is present. Just overall a wonderful place. I recommend this salon based on top botch products and service.

Love my sparkly nails. Paula nails was great !!!!
Kristin I.

Wow !!! I'm so mad I didn't find this place sooner !!!! The owner and staff were so nice and polite. From the moment I stepped in the door until the moment I left was a perfect experience. My nails look great and most importantly, this is the first time in a while I had my nails done around here without the tech over picking and over cutting my cuticles or filing my skin. The girl was very gentle which is important to me because I have super sensitive skin on my hands.

She didn't know how to do the snowflake in the pic I showed her but she tried & I appreciate that and love it more then the pic
Majdaleen R.

This place is perfect! Jessica did an amazing job on my nails, there prices are super fair $25 gel manicure. There so friendly and take there time with there work, parking isn't the best but this will def be my new spot!

I haven't found a place just like this around the area. Ruth is the best, friendly and love how she does my mani and pedi.

They do such a great job that it lasts for weeks. Grace and the entire staff makes my mom and I feel like family. I couldn't find a better nail place. The designs Grace does is also so nice. She did my engagement and wedding nails a few years ago and I absolutely loved them! Highly recommend this place!!

BE AWARE- OVERCHARGING ON A SUNDAY…read more I've written a review before and the service was excellent. However, I needed to get a REGULAR mani and Pedi and couldn't do it during this week. I saw they were open on Sunday. I was like - AWESOME. It was pretty empty. Young was very nice and sweet. She did both my mani and pedi. Once she was ready to take payment - she said $60. I almost fell off my chair. I'm like why so much for a regular mani and pedi? She said oh the policy changed that on Sundays the owner increased the prices. I was not only blind sided but also furious that for a mediocre regular mani pedi nothing else- $60. How do people conduct business like this? This is very shady and unprofessional. If that's the case, why even open on a Sunday if you are going to price gouge!!!! Terrible business practices. AND then the prices were shown to me AFTER the job was complete. I've never witnessed this before ever and I'm still shocked even typing this. I've could have went up the road for a fraction of the price but didn't because I liked the way they did my nails a few months back. Please check out the pricing - I was able to snap a picture.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The salon is very clean, well organized , and gives you a very comfortable vibe. You can tell that Cindy and her team take sanitation seriously, and all of their tools and workstations are kept clean and properly sanitized, which gives me complete peace of mind. Cindy and her technicians are incredibly talented, detail oriented, and always take the time to make sure everything is done perfectly. Cindy is also very picky with her own work, if she feels it's not good enough she will fix it until she's satisfied with her own work. Even when I don't have a specific inspiration photo, Cindy somehow always knows exactly what I'm looking for and brings my vision to life. She truly "understands the assignment" every single time. I've never been disappointed with their work. The quality, creativity, professionalism, and exceptional customer service keep me coming back year after year. If you're looking for a nail salon with skilled technicians, a welcoming environment, and beautiful results every time, I can't recommend Cindy and her team enough.

The time sitting there always feels like hanging with a girlfriend. She's so chatty and funny and also makes the entire time very cozy with tea, slippers to wear, and Netflix. I am not sure of the nail art landscape in NYC but I do think she is slightly more expensive than Paintbox or other popular salons. My opinion, though, is that the personalization and comfort makes it well worth the extra cost. Everyone should book with Emi!

I asked her why she could no longer do my nails and she never responded. Echoing another reviewer, I suspect she was upset about a tip. I felt uncomfortable tipping her because she's the business owner and sole employee, and tbh this salon was being run out of her apartment illegally. Given the prices she charged I didn't think a tip was warranted. However when I said "oh I didn't think to tip you because you're the business owner" she replied that I did have to tip her and was a bit rude and pushy about it. I would say have a backup nail person on deck, because she has the potential to leave you high and dry.

This is the worst appointment I have ever had in my entire life. The owner was clearly not ready to have an appointment today even though she took my $25 deposit online booking. Her drill wasn't charged her backup drill wasn't working. After I showed up to the salon on time and the salon was closed and she wasn't there and they proceeded to call me and see if I can come back because her drills were not charged. She had asked me if I wanted to come back an hour later I told her no and asked her if she could file my nails manually. She said yes and tried to put new gel, X nails on top of old gel, X without fully filing end or soaking them off, which annoyed me. When I complained and asked her to continue to soak them, she gave me a bit of an attitude, but agreed to do it. I don't think she understood what soaking off meant so then I asked her if she can cut down my nails and start fresh before putting the gel ax on. She agreed to that, and as she starts to put the gel ax on, she realizes that she still doesn't have her drill and that she can't proceed any longer. I quickly got aggravated and told her how unacceptable this was, and she basically turned it on me and said I told you I didn't have my drill and then I pretty much should know because I get my nails done so I asked for my $25 deposit back but she gave me and I walked out with my nails not done cut down nothing on them. She is very unorganized. The salon is not clean. It was freezing in there and quite honestly I think she was high.
