I was in the area and was looking for someone to do a gel manicure and a regular pedicure as I was going on vacation the next day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ladies here are so friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For the pedicure I also added on a callus treatment. It is preferred to pay with cash but they take card as well. Bibi did my pedicure and Kinji did my manicure. I really look forward to coming here again. read more

Staff was really friendly but I noticed the coating on the dip was super light and then a lot of it got buffered away by my manicurist so it became even lighter and some nails ended up different shades because special attention was given to some nails over the others. However, my biggest complaint is that this made some nails brittle and the dip manicure is already chipping even though it's only been approximately 4 days since I got my nails done. Usually dip powder lasts me approximately 2 weeks and it's never chipped in advance like this (usually I have to get it redone because my nails have outgrown the powder). While the staff was friendly, I wouldn't recommend this place for dip since it was $60 (after credit card fees) for something that hasn't even lasted a week read more

DO NOT GET A BACK MASSAGE HERE. EVEN IF ITS A SHORT FREE MASSAGE WHILE NAILS DRY. I am still in debilitating pain 3 weeks later even after repeatedly asking the girl to go gentle. It's as if she was trying to rip my back open. I am left with nerve pain and may need surgery. Thousands of dollars already spent of emergency room visits and future appointments. Beware. read more

Great price, quick and took me immediately as a walk-in! $19 for a no-UV light gel mani (using the Essie no-light gel products). read more

I would give this place a 0 star if I can. My first experience with them was amazing but I came back yesterday. Not only did I feel rushed but they also cut my finger and my nail (tip they added) is now broken after less than 18 hours of the appointment. Try speaking with the manager looking for a solution. They were incredibly rude and kept asking me what I want from them. I would never ever come back and would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this salon and have been coming to Ines at the Blondis 2 location on the upper east side for gel X manicure for years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly suggest Ines and Blondis for a great nail experience! read more

Blondi's is the best! This team does a fantastic job no matter who you have during your appointment. Their gel manicure is under $40 and literally looks perfect 2 weeks later (and I hand wash my dishes w/ gloves). The staff is friendly and tenured. Most estheticians have worked there for 7+ years! Erika did a lovely gel removal and manicure last week and the results are still perfection. I used to not be someone who got their nails done but I've been coming every two weeks consistently since coming to Blondi's. read more

One of the best priced nail salons in the UES! I called around 30-40 different nails salons in my area to get a sense of what the service I wanted would cost and Blondi's was the lowest price. I was worried that would mean I would get a lower quality of service but that was not the case. I came in as a walk in and they took me right away. The nail tech shaped my nails perfectly and understood very well exactly what I wanted. She was knowledgeable and meticulous. She was very nice and complementary the whole way. I got a gel manicure with a chrome add on and the total came to $50 with tax when paying with credit card. (They only charged $10 extra for chrome which is $5-15 less than what any other place I have been to charges for that.) I will definitely be coming back! read more

One of the best places on the UES to get your nails done!! I absolutely love it and everyone is super friendly and accommodating

They did such a lovely job with my gel mani! Even let me have some stickers for them, even though they are supposed to be for kids, haha. Reasonably priced, clean, no frills salon with friendly nail techs. Def coming back again. read more

I've been to this nail salon 3 times and it's okay. 3 stars is for okay so that's what it gets. The ladies in there typically bite off more than they can chew, so you might find yourself sharing a nail artist with another person. Even when I still had a bad of powder dip left they told someone I'd be done in a couple minutes - impossible. They just can't turn away business. Besides that, the whole time we were there the women were trying to talk us out of powder gel, I'm assuming it costs them more to invest in and they don't want to do it? I'm not sure but it was an odd tactic on their part. Lastly, and most importantly, my entire powder g has fallen off, after a week and 2 days. It actually chipped after 5, but in all honesty I was too lazy to go fix it, although my friend I went with went and fixed two of her nails that chipped. The conclusion of this is, I wouldn't come her for a gel manicure. Maybe another service but they just over charge for a gel that won't last. read more

The owner and employees are so nice and did a GREAT job on my nails. I got a gel mani and regular pedicure. It's been 2 full weeks since the gel manicure and my nails still look amazing. They get pretty busy so I called ahead and they suggested a time for me to come in. Apparently they opened up a new location on 1st avenue that is less busy so I'd try that if the 2nd Ave spot is booked! read more

They are cheap but always busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you call and make an appointment they won't honor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]So if you have a lot of time and flexible it's a good option.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you don't, then go someplace else that will actually honor your appointment time or at least try to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I liked the place and the people. I got my nails done for vacation - gel pedi and powder dip mani. The gel is great and still going strong. I don't think they knew how to do dip though, it started chipping the same day and started peeling off within 24 hours. I didn't have a chance to go back and ask for it to be fixed because I flew internationally the following morning. Disappointing. But I do recommend gel. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only did the nail tech make me severely uncomfortable both times I was in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], each service took almost two hours, one being for a fill..... Expensive and slow service very poor overall. read more

Pros: lower prices than most in the area, did a great job my gel mani and pedi looked wonderful, very kind staff! Cons: don't have opi- gel did not last 2 weeks, old salon, not very clean read more

Have been to Blondie's several times and highly recommend Marina and Donna! Both are very nice, and pay a lot of attention to detail.

Though the staff was nice and job well done but I think I landed up paying a lot for simple Mani/ pedi. Paid close to $50 (including Tip) I had gone for basic manicure- pedicure but chose Essie nail paints for which they added 5 dollars more. Guess in $10 I would have gotten my own Essie.. Again the staff was very warm and courteous. read more

My new favorite. I used to go to Pick a Pretty Color down the street, but they do a much better job at Blondi's. The other salon treated their customers like fast food service--more about quantity than quality. Blondi's actually cares for their customers' nails and wants them to come back. Small space, so always call ahead. read more

I have been going to Blondi's for four years now. The salon is great and the staff is amazing. They do a great job with everything ( nails, waxing, massages). I also love how efficient they are. I cannot write a review without mentioning Erica She is the most amazing and does everything so quickly. If you want to get a mani, pedi and waxing all in an hour and very well done, Erica is your person and you will not regret it. If you are new in the neighborhood and are looking for a great salon, you should totally come here! read more

Amy did such an incredible job!!! I just moved to the upper east side and am so glad I found such a great nail place already. Definitely coming back! read more

I have never been a regular at a nail salon, that is until I started coming to Blondis. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I have been lucky enough to find this salon and not to mention, in my opinion, the best nail technician in NYC! Erika is a perfectionist and I have not once walked out of the salon with a spec of polish out of place. I actually don't really like manicures because I have a hand injury and they tend to be a little too painful. However, Erika took my "be gentle" request and I have yet to feel uncomfortable during her manicures. This place is wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone! read more

Blondi's Nail Salon - Classic and clean :-) - Massage Near Me - New York, New York

First off the woman who did my nails cut the skin of two of my fingers pretty badly. Secondly it was wayyyy over priced. She literally glued nails on top of my natural nails and painted them for $80 and they literally look like press on nails from the drug store. Supposedly gel extensions.....I will never go back there again. read more

I have been going to my manicurist for 10 years. She moved to NJ and I cannot move with her. Came on yelp and read so many reviews. I am very particular let me tell you. Dona did an amazing job with my gel manicure and pedicure. I will be traveling from Brooklyn to see her every two weeks. Also the owner is really wonderful, like super warm. read more

I absolutely LOVE this nail salon. The service here is so good, I will not go anywhere else! Kinji and Kamala are extremely talented and I highly recommend their services!! read more

This place is horrible. I went a few weeks back. Chairs are broken and the towels they use on your hands and feet are NOT washed after every customer!!! I saw the owner literally rinsing it off and putting it back on heater .... DISGUSTING!!!! Sad because some of the the workers are really good. Stay away. My girlfriend who went there recently told me she saw a small rat and the manager there pretended like it wasn't. It's filthy and very unsanitary. read more

What a gem!!! I'm very picky about my nails and toes and feel so lucky to live so close to this place! I saw Donna for my first visit and have been coming to see her ever since! She's an absolute master and definitely a perfectionist. All the girls here are absolutely lovely and extremely welcoming. 10/10 experience overall. Would definitely recommend! read more

For the last two years almost every Sunday, I have been getting an amazing massage from Choten! She gives a deep and strong, yet gentle and relaxing massage that alleviates any stiffness and stress from my body. She also gives a wonderful mani and pedi, and takes great pride in her work, and is so sweet, attentive, and delightful! The Salon is very clean and nicely decorated, and the owner and staff are friendly and professional. read more

Professional, friendly, and meticulous! Everyone here is very good at what they do. I've tried so many nail salons in NYC and this is hands down the best one imho. The prices are fair and they know what they're doing. Everything is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, everyone is wearing a mask and they do their absolute best to accommodate you even if they're fully booked. read more

The people that work here are arguably the nicest people who live in the city. Got an awesome pedicure that came with a good foot rub and scrubbing, and a complimentary shoulder rub. One of the few places open late on a Sunday and even took us in when we came right before closing. read more

This place is a true gem and the ladies that work here are some of the nicest people in the world! The service is always phenomenal and it is such a treat to come in here for any service they offer! I wouldn't trust the occasional bad review! I've been going here for a long time and never had anything but exceptional experiences! read more

Owner is really nice but the girl that did my nails wasn't good. It seemed like she was doing all the steps they taught her to do but she wasn't paying attention to detail.. Maybe she was being rushed for the next clients. There was no base coat or top coat. It was actually more painful than normal. I just went along with it but I knew something wasn't right when my thumb started bleeding after I left read more

Had a wonderful experience here! Walked in and got set up with appointments immediately. I had an inspiration picture of what I was hoping for and they matched it perfectly. Thank you!! read more

What a lovely place! Blondis II moved into the space of a salon which I had used for 2 decades, but sadly went out of business during the pandemic. First, it is sparkling clean - eat off the floor clean (and a pretty place - for those who care). The technicians are lovely, kind and all seem to take pride in their work. And it shows. Every mani and pedi I've had has been excellent. Finally, the owner who is always on premise, is gracious and as accommodating as humanly possible. Blondis II is a bright new addition to my neighborhood. Highly highly recommend. read more
