Black powder + full set o tips
Ariel S.

An UES gem. I've come here for over 3 years and it's become the go-to for all my friends whom I've referred. I even have friends coming from Brooklyn to get their nails done here. Every time I go in, they have new powder colors, keeping in touch with current trends. You don't come for the frills, you come for the quality. The whole team at U and Me are fabulous and I love them!

Perfect regular mani by Michelle
Jennifer Y.

Hole in the wall kind of place! Walked in for a regular manicure and I was assigned to Michelle. She really didn't say much to me during the whole thing which I actually liked. She was gentle with my nails and did a great filing and cuticle removing. She painted my nails with extreme precision and detail. Meticulously done in about 20 or so minutes. I haven't had a manicure this good in Manhattan! Don't come here if you want a lavish spa experience but if you want the most perfectly filed and polished nails, ask for Michelle! I will most definitely be back when I'm in the neighborhood!

SNS powder mani

Great job with super good attention to detail. Be sure to make an appointment as they're pretty popular.

This is my new go-to place on the UES. The price for a gel manicure and the amazing job they do is unbeatable in this area. I've tried multiple other places, all of which are more expensive for the same service. Stopped by for a gel manicure on a Monday night around 7:00pm after calling two other salons I hadn't yet tried nearby for pricing (both said $40 - $42). U and Me offers gel manis for only $28 and powder for $38. There is no other nail salon in the UES with a $28 gel manicure. Maybe not even in the city! The person who did my nails was perfect. She was so meticulous, paid great attention to detail and I really don't think I've had a better manicure before. Didn't love the color (but that's my bad since I didn't realize the color was so nude). So happy I found this place and I can't wait to go back!!

I was looking for a nail place in the city after moving here and they are so good about finding the right shape! They take their time to make it perfect!

Finally found a great nail salon on the UES! Amazing service and they did a great job with reasonable prices.

This is 3 days post manicure - still looking great!

I recently moved to the neighborhood and am in the process of trying to find my go to nail salon and I believe U and Me Nails is the one! I tried here after searching "best dip manicures UES" and found results about their extensive color choices and overall good spot. I went on a Monday night around 6 and they were quite busy, to the point they had to turn away/schedule walk ins for the next day. I came earlier than my appointment and they gave me a spot to sit and wait. The reviews were NOT kidding with the dip options - there had to be at least 200! I went in knowing what I wanted, but you could spend hours looking at the options. The women who did my nails was extremely efficient and good, and after a mess up and apologies on her part completed my nails to perfection. She was quiet but very kind any time I spoke to her. Good prices, very nice staff and great atmosphere! Will be back for my next dip!

stay away at all cost...the absolute worst...customer svc is 0 Called prior and asked the cost for an acrylic fill in and gel nail polish, was quoted $46.00. I go in, and I'm immediately bombarded by a woman who I assume is the manager...she sits at the very front table. When I told her what I wanted she told me to do dip powder as it's better ...I stated again, what I came for....that's when the attitude startes... my cuticles were torn, nail sloppily filled and polished...the whole time shes talking about me in her native tongue. After what took over an hour I was charged $76.00 for the worst fill in I have ever had.....STAY AWAY FROM THIS CHOP SHOP

Not shaped well, uneven

Wanted to try this salon since it's close to home and I saw the good reviews. I called to make sure they did gel powder and came in this afternoon for my appointment. They have lots of colors to choose from. I ended up choosing a color from OPI. I didn't notice as the tech was cutting and shaping my nail but once I left I realized how bad the gel powder looked. They are very thick and not even, one of my finger nails looks wider than my actual finger. Major lack of attention to detail. Also, maybe they just don't do this but no lotion or hot towel to clean hands which I'm used to at every other nail salon I've been to. For $60 including tip I'm super disappointed. :( Giving one more star because these nails have lasted a long time without cracking or chipping!

My chip-free gel manicure after three weeks.
Elizabeth O.

U and Me is the best nail salon deal on the Upper East Side. In desperate need of a manicure, I came to U and Me after working my way through dozens of reviews on Yelp. The Upper East Side is packed with nail salons, most of the decidedly mediocre variety. So, with nothing but ragged cuticles and hope in my heart, I walked into U and Me, and got one of my best gel manicures ever for a steal at $28. Both of the manicurists I had so far were meticulous and totally responsive to my pickiness about nail shape. In the end, I got a great gel manicure that lasted three weeks with nary a chip. And, when I returned for another manicure, not only did they remember me after being there only once before, they removed the gels free of charge. If you're looking for ambiance or spa-level pampering, this ain't your spot. However, if you're looking for a quality manicure, this is where u (and me) need to be.

Dip powder with gel tips
Jessica K.

I love my nails! I got the tips with dip powder and it honestly was such a detailed install, I feel so confident these nails will last a full two weeks. The women there are super sweet and friendly and I will absolutely be back every time for a manicure!

Literally the best nail salon on the UES. It's a total hole in the wall, nondescript salon but the quality and price is unbeatable. Every nail tech is beyond nice and makes you feel comfortable. I got the powder dip and Grace did SUCH a great job and even picked out the best color for me! Will absolutely be returning.

My first wax experience here was not good. The technician was not at all empathetic to the pain I…read morewas experiencing and she basically rushed through my first ever Brazilian wax. I returned two days later to wax my legs and get a clean up of the hair left by the first tech. I was fortunate to get Daeja who was thorough, and she touched each area as soon as it was waxed, which helped to soothe the immediate pain. I quickly changed my next appointment from the first tech to Daeja. If you don't like walking barefoot on sketchy floors, I suggest bringing a pair of slippers when getting a leg wax. Also, I bought several of the recommended products and broke out so severely, I had to see a doctor who prescribed anti inflammatory meds. Check the ingredients before buying the products or do a patch test to ensure it agrees with your skin type. I look forward to my next wax with Daeja because I know she will be thorough and she is customer-friendly. I'm rating my second experience in this survey, not my first visit. If I rated my first visit with the other tech, I would have to rate it one star.

Now that I moved a few subway stops away, it takes me a bit longer to get to this location but it's still closer than Grand Central and plus with the Wax Pass offer, you get an extra free wax by going to this location for all of your waxes. I always sign up for the wax pass offer when it's available because you get 2-3 waxes free and it's an overall discount on the service as well. I've tried other wax places outside of EWC and prefer EWC. The quality and consistency is the best. Let me know if you'd like a referral! :o)

just sharing my personal experience here -- so definitely take it with a grain of salt! this review…read moreis based on a regular manicure and gel polish removal. i originally went in just wanting to remove my gel polish and take care of my cuticles -- no new polish. but since the cost seemed to be about the same as (or maybe just slightly less than) a regular manicure, i figured i might as well go for it. honestly, i debated for a while whether to wait it out and go to my usual salon, but my nails had gotten way too long. the actual appointment was really nice. my technician was sweet and attentive. i am quite indecisive when it comes to picking a color, but she was very patient with me -- which i truly appreciated! that said, just a few hours after i left, i noticed the polish on one of my nails had already started chipping -- and then another one did too. i had spent a good 30 minutes drying them, and even the okay to go from (i believe) the owner. if you zoom in on the photo, you will also see air bubbles on a few nails. (LOOL i removed the background so i do not expose my messy kitchen). i am certain the technician is skilled and amazing at her job, so it could just be how my nails are -- or there could be a bunch of other reasons why this happened. my lesson of the day is to always trust the reviews on yelp!

Absolutely furious. Have been here before for brow and upper lip threading with no issues. One of…read morethe employees insisted that she do both threading and waxing. After the service, I noticed that there were huge chunks of skin ripped out below my eyebrow and at my upper lip. She told me it was normal for waxing and blamed it on my pimple? I've never had this happen before. I also noticed they double dip for the wax. I received no apologies, absolutely nothing. Never coming here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. ** Update: Went back and the manager, Ava, came in to apologize and offered a full refund. I appreciate her sincerity and she took full accountability for her employee's actions. The woman who did my service apologized but continued to make excuses as to why it happened and blamed it on the weather (?). She obviously didn't take accountability, but I didn't want to waste anymore time arguing with her. **

However they insisted on cash or Venmo. I don't carry cash and my phone was dead (so no access to Venmo). HOWEVER they forced me to charge my phone with the salon charger so they can receive tip through Venmo. This was humiliating and not to mention entitled of the salon to assume that they earned a tip. They acted this way even though there were other customers in the salon watching all of this happen. After charging my phone for a min, they admitted that they can accept tip through card. The pedicure itself was fine but I am never going back here for the horrible customer service. Up until this point, the service was great and I was planning on making Kawaii Salon my main spot for manis and pedis. Ended up tipping $10 on $60 pedi.
