The natural nail care is consistent and thorough (Adriana is one of our favorite technicians). And the owner Elif is warm and thoughtful with every customer. Her leadership and values are reflected in her staff and the culture she has created. In such a big busy city, it is nice to be able to check out and relax for a little bit while engaging in some self-care. P.S. Treat yourself to the ancient care pedicure with a 15 minute foot massage. You won't regret it.

I will definitely be trekking up from Murray Hill in the future to see her for my nails. It's a small space but very cozy. I was given a choice of hot teas while I waited. I was able to get a same day appointment and when she was running late, Paru called me to be cognizant of my time rather than not giving me a heads up. She clearly has a cult-following. Everybody there was clearly a regular. I've gone to places before as a new customer and felt less important than the regulars ... I felt just as special as everybody else there so that was really very lovely. She took her time picking out a color with me and doing my nails. I got a shellac manicure.. its coming up on two weeks now and I don't have any lifting edges which is normally what happens so I am very happy. They are cash or Venmo only!

I get the same thing every time I get my nails done. Same color, same amount of coats, and same length; I have NEVER had a whole nail pop off or chip this badly one day after getting them done. It was also extremely uncleanly. I didn't see them sanitize a cuticle cuter or nail clipper before passing them from one customer to the next once. They also asked me to pay AND TIP before I even got the service done. I have never had a place ask me to tip them, let alone before the service was even completed before. Tipping is a complementary touch, which I always do. I paid $35 (plus the tip they asked me for upfront) for a manicure I will now have to redo myself one day after getting them done. Don't waste your time or money.

After searching through Yelp, I found One L and saw they practice my favorite manicure, Russian manicure. I booked a spot with Tim at their midtown location and off I went. I loved the vibe the moment I entered. I was greeted by first their friendly front desk staff and then my tech Tim. And then we got down to business. And, Tim meant business. He spent nearly an hour prepping and shaping my nails, looking at my nails from all angles to make sure they were in the optimal condition for the color to come. And, then the color application had the same level of meticulousness (even breaking out the small brushes to get right into the edges of the nail). And, when 90 minutes was done I had the glossy , beautiful fall nails of my dreams. And, what more could I ask for? See you next month, Tim!

I love Miki! I am so happy she opened another location, as it is closer to work and home for me (…read moreeven though I'm willing to take two trains and travel an hour to get my nails done by her). When I started getting my nails done, they were always short and so brittle that they would never grow, and my cuticles were terrible. As I got bored with the single color, I asked for an ombre at a random chop shop one day, which was a BIG mistake. Please see the first two pictures. I thought to myself that I might not be able to find someone to do nail designs until I saw my best friend's nails and was introduced to Miki. After going to Miki, my nails became so strong and long, and people are always surprised when I tell them they are my natural nails, with no extensions or anything over them. Miki brought all my nail design visions to life. My question wasn't if she could do it but which five nail designs I wanted to pick that day. She did my nails for my engagement, bridal, wedding, and baby shower, and I would not trust anyone else to do it for all my special occasions. I highly recommend her and trust me; you will not be disappointed.
