One Nail Studio — Local services in New York

I went here with a couple of friends for manicures and pedicures a couple days ago and we did not have great experiences.

For my pedicure: the water was room temperature rather than warm, there were no jets on in the soaking tub, the nail lady barely scrubbed my feet, and did not wash the products off my feet properly leaving the soles of my feet green. I wish I took pictures. One of my friends and I then had to walk on the dirty floor without slippers despite there being a stack of slippers. When I asked for a pair of slippers because I did not want to put my feet on the dirty floor again, the nail lady brought me paper towel to place underneath my feet lol. When painting my toes, I also had to instruct the nail lady to add another coat because there were spots where the coating obviously was not enough.

For my manicure: I’ll insert the pictures below. The paint job was inconsistent. The nails started chipping/peeling off the following day and had air bubbles all over them. I paid for the polish that was supposedly to last longer… I honestly want a refund for this shabby job!

When we left, we paid and still tipped them. But, I was complaining about the soles of my feet being green when a couple nail ladies overheard; they told me that it would go away once I took a shower and it did. I also complained about having to walk barefooted in the shop as my toes dried. One of the ladies condescendingly tried to give me slippers after the fact, asking if I wanted a pair of slippers as if they were useful to me now that my toes had dried.

Overall, not good experiences. I’ve been to many salons and this was the worst experience ever. Do NOT recommend. I have never had a pedicure and left the salon with ashy green feet. I even had to ask them for lotion after the pedicure to moisturize my feet lol. This place seemed to have good reviews, but you’re better off DIY than going here. I wonder why our experiences...

I was in desperate need for a fill on my nails, as well as a pedicure, and this was the closest nail salon near me with availability. It was small, but it was very clean, organized, and peaceful. The staff were all professional, helpful, and very accommodating. I’m big on smells right now, and this salon smelled so good and so clean—especially their towels!

The nail techs also did an outstanding job on my nails; as you can see from the picture, I didn’t get something too simple, and they were able to do exactly what I wanted. I also had the best pedicure I think I’ve ever had. They were very thorough and really took their time. The 20-minute foot massage was actually 20 minutes. They set a timer and everything. They actually took time removing callouses (my feet look and feel brand new) and did everything in the pedicure description.

If I HAD to complain about anything, it was that it took a really long time. I was in there for 4 hours. However, I got the most extensive pedicure with gel polish and the 20-minute foot massage, and asked for different designs on every finger nail, so I expected it to take awhile.

Overall, I highly recommend this place! I’ll definitely be back next...

It’s a cool place. I would say verify the price before paying because some of the photos in other people’s reviews have their old prices and have since been updated.

I went in to get a regular manicure but the nail polish they use chips away pretty fast. It is fast drying nail polish. I did the regular manicure and they alleged it’s vegan nail polish/varnish.

I also got a gel pedicure, callous removal (but i do not recommend getting callous removal here since it is $15 extra and they use a cheese grader 🥴🥴.. the $15 is for random liquid they put on my feet and wrap in plastic for like a few minutes.. see pictures for more information ). I also got the bottom half of my legs waxed.

Overall I am okay with the service I got, the person who assisted me was very sweet and worked quickly with my many service treatments. I just wish they would have given my feet a bit more attention. The nails are all different sizes and not shapes the same at all. The big toe nails are two different shapes and lengths now. I did ask did this to be corrected but it just got jacked up more in shape 🙃😭.

If I am being honest, I am not sure that I would...
