Manhattan Nails Salon — Local services in New York

The short version: -Amazing manicure/pedicure -Clean facility -Incredible energy -You will NOT be rushed out, they take their time -If you have negative energy don’t come here -If you want to be in and out, no frills mani pedi, DON’T come here -They are open til midnight on Saturdays! I was thrilled to find a place after 8pm -The owner says she created the late night hours for working moms like us who couldn’t find time during the day and I felt so seen! -The owner also loves her staff and treats them so well, it shows. They love working there as well and that shows too

The details: I read many reviews for this spa before coming here and one thing is clear, some people just like to complain and find problems within the safety net of the internet. Period.

I had a lovely conversation with the owner after my services (mother to mother) and acknowledged her for how well she treats her staff. This salon is her baby. Her staff LOVE her and love their job. She creates a wonderful environment and they work hard for her because of it. I hung out with the owner’s 7 year old daughter (it’s summer time) and we had such a blast chatting! She is intelligent and mature and even offered to babysit my daughter. She was the highlight of my visit.

They take their time and care about each nail and you WILL be here a while. I didn’t care because they have hours til midnight so I just got to relax instead of thinking they will close soon. I came at 7 and was out at 9. A very relaxing evening and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The salon is very clean and neat and even the bathroom and toilet are spotless. You can tell how much love and care went into tidying up.

The prices are fair Manhattan prices. In Austin Texas, I pay the same. If you are visiting from somewhere that mani pedis are cheaper, please do not bash her prices before looking at nail salons in Midtown. They are twice her price. Do not compare to a podunk town and say it’s expensive. A pretzel here is $8 and rent is expensive. Do your homework before visiting NYC and complaining about her prices.

Finally, if you have nothing nice to say, hold your tongue. This is someone’s business and livelihood. Didn’t like it? Not your cup of tea? Don’t come back. But don’t bash it. It’s a Russian nail salon with Russian style nail services. The owner shares this on every response on here. Yes it is different from the Asian nail places that rush you out and talk to each other during your service. They care. They take their time. They are detailed. Don’t like, not happy? Tell the owner and she can work with you. Don’t just go home and write a bad review. It’s immature.

If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing and don’t return. That’s the grown up way to deal...

Do not come here, there is very, VERY sketchy vibes.

The other day I had an appointment booked around 3pm for a pedicure. I was trying to access the building and the code to enter was not working, and the phone number wasn't reachable on the front door security system. As I was trying to get in a random woman came off the street asking if I was trying to get in the nail salon, I said yes and she started helping me out. Naturally I thought she either worked there or had an appointment as it seems like you would only know about this salon from online. We were able to get in after trying to contact the front desk multiple times. When we got in the building I asked the woman if she had an appointment as well and she just told me she saw the salon and was walking in. It seemed a little weird to me but I brushed it off.

Approximately 30 seconds or so after calling the front desk we got upstairs and no one was around. No workers, no customers, nothing. Nobody was at the front desk either. When I was looking around it was very dimly lit, the area that you were to get your nails done wasn't lit at all, and the hallway corner was very dark. The woman that came with me sat down and was looking at me very strangely. I got a really bad feeling about it and immediately headed back into the elevator. The second I got into the elevator a worker came out of nowhere and started asking where I was going and if I had an appointment. I just left right after that. I got such a bad feeling.

And, as soon as I got home I checked the reviews and 10 or so new reviews had been posted at the same time, all 5 stars, all with people who only placed one review being for this salon. I would just be very cautious about coming here because it seems very sketchy and suspicious, especially as a young woman alone.

(As a response to the owner, thanks, I’m sure your comebacks make your customers comfortable. And all your fake 5 star reviews won’t be able to hide the real bad reviews. This place tried its best to be as unwelcoming as...
