Posh Nails — Local services in New York

I really don’t like to leave negative reviews, but unfortunately I had a negative experience here. I paid $60 (including tip) for a gel manicure. Online it is advertised as $47 but in the salon I was charged $50 as a cash price. About 1 week later, an entire gel nail peeled off and proceeded to happen on 2 other nails. When I called 10 days after my appointment, I was told I would be charged to get the peeled nails fixed (apparently they only have a 3-5 day policy for fixing nails) and even $15 to get them soaked off. I have never had a gel manicure that has lasted less than 3 weeks, so I am really disappointed. I usually go to Honey Nails without problems and would recommend them instead.

I understand that maybe other techs are better/more experienced, but I didn’t appreciate the level of expertise she had with this, and now I have really sensitive fingers and cuticle areas.

I would have enjoyed the experience more if May was a little nicer and communicated with me more. There was a point where she painted two coats on my hands and then wiped them clean. I looked confused and no explanation. Otherwise, the salon was clean and put...

The ladies at Posh are so diligent, talented, and thoughtful that I drive out of my way to get my nails done there. The interior is clean, aesthetically inviting, and spacious yet intimate. They clearly pay close attention to utensil cleaning protocols as they either dispose of them or insert them into cleaning machinery after each use. And the place always smells so lovely!

They have a wide selection of colors and options (e.g., dip powder vs gel vs a combination). The seek to match your fingernail polish to your toenail polish (if that’s what you want) and execute whatever design you desire. They also seem to be up on all the new techniques and materials.

I’d recommend them to...
