Best Nail Salons In New York

“Went for a lymphatic/anti cellulite massage and Viktoria was amazing! For the price and the experience I will be returning and definitely will be telling my friends.“

“The best experience here every single time! Margo has done my nails a few times now and each time they are perfection. She’s always coming up with the coolest options for me too. My latest set was my favorite to date, these aquamarine chrome colors!“

“Ludovic does the most incredible job with my color. For years, every other colorist I’ve seen has turned my brown hair red. I had been told that eliminating red hues was not possible. Ludovic has done the impossible and has kept my hair its natural color. I look forward to my appointments and to seeing the amazing results.
Yoshie does a superb job with my Japanese straightening. I am so lucky to have finally found her after having worked with so many people and products for decades. My hair is straight AND healthy after the treatment!“

“I loved my experience at Woo nail and eyelash! Their shop is so welcoming, pretty and clean! I spoke with them over text to finalize my nail design and it came out beautiful! I have gotten so many compliments on these nails! I can’t wait for my next set 🤩“

“I absolutely love coming to see Vivian for a blowout—she’s truly the best! I actually come to New York just for her because no one else can make my hair look and feel this amazing. Every time, she gives me the most flawless, long-lasting blowout that gets compliments everywhere I go. Vivian is talented, professional, and always makes the experience enjoyable. I can’t recommend her enough!“

“the best manicure in manhattan! alisa is always so sweet and picks the best colors. could not recommend more!“

“The girls are doing a great job, my nails are very fragile but they know how to make it last. I used to get my nails every two weeks but in One L I come back in 3 weeks, which proofs how amazing the quality of the job it is . Pedicure is very professional and well as the manicure. I am very happy about this place. I highly recommend“

“Joe, is the best! I’ve been bringing my daughter here for 3 years. Not only is he passionate about his curls but also very engaging with her. He guides her through and educates her in the process. We love how he brings her curls back to life.“

“Booked for my daughter’s birthday party and it ended up being one of the best parts of the day. The staff was patient, professional, and great with all the girls. Guests were getting manicures while the birthday girl and her friends got to make their own nail sets with a nail instructor helping them throughout the party. Super interactive experience and everyone, even the parents loved it. Definitely a 10/10 experience.“

“In 30 years of going to nail salons, I have never had such beautiful nails! Ari, the owner, was warm, professional, and incredibly thorough. From start to finish, the experience exceeded my expectations.

My daughter recommended Ari, and I am so grateful she did. I left feeling pampered, cared for, and absolutely thrilled with the results. I have never been happier with my nails and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!“

“Just got a waterless pedicure with gel polish and Anna was amazing, she took her time and paid attention with every stroke! Plus the hot stone foot massage was sooo good!“

“Highly recommend! She’s incredibly meticulous and always makes sure every detail is perfect, and it really shows in her work (check out my nails)! On top of that, she’s so friendly and makes every appointment such a great experience!“

“I’m so impressed by how thoughtful and detail-oriented Shany and her team are! This salon is truly one of the best discoveries I’ve made on the Upper East Side. The location is perfect, the space is spotless, and you can see how much care and passion go into every aspect of the business.

Shany takes the time to genuinely connect with each client and is incredibly intentional about the products and tools she uses. Her focus on nail health and safety sets her apart, and I always leave knowing my nails are being cared for with the highest standards. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been visiting the 5 ave location and found out this location, which is a lot closer. Same service but closer. Highly recommend for clean Russian nails“

“Such a lovely experience! I’ve gotten both dazzle dry and gel manis here and they’re always lovely. Jada is a star!!“

“I had a wonderful experience at this salon. The Russian manicure service was exceptional. The salon is very clean, and I appreciated the attention to sanitation and client safety. Tina was extremely detailed, professional, and did an amazing job on my nails. I am very happy with the results and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!“

“Had a pedicure, they were very detailed and did a wonderful job. Very friendly and efficient staff, will come back.“

“A true hidden gem in New York. Tucked just behind Macy’s on 35th Street, this newly remodeled salon feels more Upper East Side than Midtown convenience. The space is elegant, calm, and impeccably maintained, with a level of polish that immediately sets expectations high.

What truly distinguishes this salon is the quality of the Russian manicure. I opted for a simple, classic polish, and the results have been exceptional. Nearly a week later, after constant hand use including dishwashing, house cleaning, and even snow shoveling, the polish remains remarkably intact with minimal wear. That kind of longevity speaks to both technique and care, not just product.

For those who appreciate precision, restraint, and craftsmanship over trends, this is a place worth knowing about. Thoughtful service, a beautiful setting, and results that quietly exceed expectations make it stand out in a city full of options.“

“Luba is my absolute favorite! I love going to her for my iconic french. Diana at the front desk is also very professional and provides amazing hospitality. :)“

“Had a great experience - really cute and clean shop, great manicure and lovely service! Will be back :)“

“Erika did an amazing job, she took her time and is very kind. I will definitely come back!“

“I recently had a pedicure from DeLoor nails, my feet have never been this soft. She was so professional, listened to my concerns, and the space/tools were so clean and sterile. 10/10 experience and I will be back soon!“

“I was able to book a last-minute appointment two weeks ago for some pre-birthday prep, which I greatly appreciated. It was my first time getting a Russian pedicure which I wanted to try after getting a series of laser treatments at my podiatrist to treat a toenail issue. I was wary of going back to regular pedicures and heard dry pedicures are better. I was so happy with the results. My feet felt so soft and looked great. Alex was very detailed and meticulous and even though I was a little sensitive (I always am when getting pedicures), he put me at ease so I could relax. I preferred to have some color so went with a pretty berry red in their regular polish. The studio was quiet and comfortable and I loved that they were playing old Sex and the City episodes. I also got a yummy latte, which was much needed before I headed to the movies. I can't wait for my next appointment, I had a great experience.“

“Amazing staff and salon, super friendly and they really know what they’re doing. When I asked for a quick touch-up, they handled it right away with no hesitation. Truly appreciate the great service! Highly recommend“

“I was in need of a spa pedicure and I was walking by from a random outing and happen to run across this lovely location. I walked in close to 8pm and asked what time they closed which was 8:30pm and they got me in and took great care of me! Wonderful service I highly recommend!“
