Not my favorite spot but they did a good job. I prefer a spacious and more modern nail salon but I decided to stop in and check this place out. They took me right away on a Saturday. I was able to get my pedi and mani done at the same time which is the best. It's been a week and no chipping and my nails still look great! $20 for a regular pedicure and $9 for a regular manicure. If you pay with a card they'll tell you the tax will be added on. read more

BAD! ASK FOR PRICE MULTIPLE TIMES! Spanish lady who was doing my nails was good. Asian lady, the manager, she's answering the phone, was so unprofessional and inaccurate with her words. I walked in and asked for the price for acrylics removal. She said $15. After it was done she switched the price to $25. Very Unpleasant experience. 2 starts only because Spanish lady did her work good read more

Went in for a french tip nail set and got exactly what I wanted ! It got a little Busy so I had two nail techs work on me. The first her name was Maria she did a nice job but the bulk of the work was done by another nice lady! I didn't get her name but she had blondish hair and she was Latina. Would recommend! read more

I had been looking for a neighborhood nail salon and am happy to say I don't need to look any more. This review is for a regular manicure, as I haven't tried out gel or acrylic tips here yet. I have been here twice as a walk-in and so far there has been no wait. I may have just gotten lucky, as while I was there they had several phone calls for reservations. The staff are friendly and patient. Thank you Gaby for doing an outstanding job. I wasn't sure which color to pick so Gaby opened a couple bottles and painted them on my nail so that I could see the difference. She also took her time with each nail and removed a bunch of dead skin. I didn't feel like she was rushed at all which made for a relaxing experience. A regular manicure is $9, and with OPI polish it is $11. This was worth the price and I will be returning again. read more

If you make appointment your wasting your time. I waited because the two lady that usually do my nails are bomb and last. I highly recommend them. My nails have last 1 month with out fill ins. When you go there please ask for one of the Spanish girls to do your nails. They have their time and very very nice. The place is very very small. read more

I went for a pedicure. The prices are ok, but they charge $5 extra for premium colors. But my main issue was the amount of pain I was in during and after. I repeatedly asked my pedicurist to be gentle, there was a language barrier but I was flinching and saying ow over and over. She dug into my cuticles, and "trimmed" the skin off of a BLISTER on the side of my foot, which was extremely painful, and my cuticles were at the point of bleeding. Won't be going back :( read more

I have been a returning customer for nearly a year, always happy with the service I receive from Susan, who does a great job and is very lovely. Small establishment but neat and clean. However the owner/manager Vikky is often quite unfriendly and fair warning, will try to make a quick buck any way she can. I have been unfortunate to have her do my nails twice, with today being the last time, as I will not be returning. She was slow, rude, left my cuticles a bloody mess and overall did not do a great job. To add, over charged me on my manicure. I didn't even stay for polish, I could not leave fast enough. read more

I've been coming to these ladies for about 3 years at their old location. Every one of them is great! No matter who I do my pedicures or manicures,full sets, or fills with I always leave happy.

You can walk in of make an appointment (I suggest you make an appointment, they do get pretty busy) I recommend this place and the staff to everyone!! Always to a great job for me. read more

Very nice and clean place. This was my first visit and surely I'll be back in this place. I removed my tips and got a new set. The lady that did my nails was nice and meticulous. They also do waxing but I haven't give it a try yet, maybe next time. read more

I've been a customer for over a decade when they were across the street. I find that the service has gotten very poor as their prices go up. I believe people continue to come here because there is no other competition. It's so sad. read more

The woman who did my nails was very nice and patient didn't rush through actually did her job correctly and filed my real nails first and everything. I will definitely be returning to this place. read more

Typical Korean nail salon in the heights but with a twist. There is soft Christmas playing. You're greeted with smiles. Feels like a family. Plastic covers for sanitation. Adequate selection of Esse and Gel colors. Standard Pedi-$19 Pedi with green tea salt -$25. read more

This salon is my new go-to! I have been searching for as long as ever for a salon that is friendly and takes their time and I've found the one! My full set gel manicure took a little over an hour to do and was well worth it. My technician Susan did things that most other techs don't. She got my cuticles looking right. She filed the edges of my nails to perfection and she was precise; I can tell she's a professional. The salon is clean and well stocked. All the techs were very accommodating. All in all it was a great experience and I will be returning!! read more

Walk Ins are not welcome as mentioned in the page. I went there as soon as it opened and they said they could not do my friends nails.

I have been coming to "Vicky's" since she had her establishment on 171st Street named Pearl Nails. Eventually she moved to 173rd and Broadway renamed the place Calla Pearl Nail Spa and I followed. The service has definitely gone down and the prices gone up. Many of the well known/established nail technicians have left, so there is always a new face(s). For me the breaking point was when Michelle left. She had been doing my nails for years. I have inquired numerous times if Michelle opened her own establishment in Queens and they never seem to know anything other than she bought a new home. Basically, I have been doing my own nails, but today have found the need to come in for a gel mani and pedi for vacation. However, though I had an appt with Susan for the hands and Anna for my feet (Susan booked it that way) I currently have the latter technician assigned to do both. Why? Susan took another customer at my scheduled appt time and with no explanation said, "Oh Ana will do your hands too." This is why I stopped coming to this place. My nails look okay. ‍ If Michelle is working at another place or has opened her own nail business and someone reading this review knows where please let me know! I WILL travel to her! read more

Hit or miss. They are kind of rude on the phone. Got my nails done THIS morning and this is what my gel manicure looks like at 3:33pm the same day. It's not even thick like a gel should be. I don't think they used a real gel polish. read more

Calla Pearl Nail Spa - 6 hours after getting a gel manicure. $46 dollars later. Not happy. - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Decided to check this place out on a Sunday afternoon. Gel mani was $25 and they did a decent job. Would go back in the future.

Very clean salons and friendly staff. I got a great pedicure and will be back for more services. Great place for your nails on Washington Heights! read more

I've been coming here for 3 years now, the service of the place has changed a bit from when I first started going, for instance I remember they would massage your feet with hot stones, hot towels which they still do, and lastly add some wax to your heels to soften them up, now you just get the towel. Over all, I like the place and how they work, Linda is my favorite, she gives the best massages ever and is a perfectionist! Only thing is that the wait can be too long, you can call to make an appointment but they're mostly "first come first serve". read more

Fab job and very reasonably priced ($10 for a mani)! I went in at 6:30PM with the store closing at 7:30PM and the nail tech spent so much time cleaning, filing, and taking care of my nails. She did a great job and I really appreciated the time she took to give me my manicure, especially when I came in so close to closing time. The entire staff was very pleasant and really kind. I would have liked if she painted under my nail a bit too, to "seal" the nail polish on my nails. Compared to the other nail salons Ive gone to in the Washington Heights area, this has been by FAR the best and I will definitely be returning! read more

They close at 8pm. I walked in yesterday for a Manicure at 7:08pm. One of the ladies (not the owner) said no. I looked at the time and stared at her. No apology, no come back tomorrow, no - we are about to close. That was very rude. The first time I went there I waited 2 hours and 13 minutes and when someone became available she started complaining because she lived in NJ and she needed to catch the bus :-( so she rushed my pedi. The 2nd time I went (a year later), Ofelia did my feet and she did such an amazing job but i will not be returning after what happened yesterday which is terrible because its hard to find nail artists like Ofelia. Edited: my nail salon of choice closed down. I entered last week in desperation and was given great service. They are over crowded with clients and it can be overhwleming and I understand. I know that the owner would have approached me in a more professional way if she were there that day (original review) Ofelia unfortunately was not there but the lady who did my manicure and the lady who did my pedi and eyebrows did a great job. I know now to come early in the morning. I changed my rating from 2 to 4 stars. read more

Called to find out a price. Was told they don't give prices on the phone and then was hung up on. Didn't even have to go in to receive some of the worse customer service ever. Some of us don't live close and don't wanna travel all the way to be surprised with high pricing. read more

I used to LOVE this place when it opened - they were so nice and clean and did extras like paradox wax and massage. I was a regular client but it's been getting worse and worse. They can't seem to keep the place clean, the pedicures feel very rushed, the staff is rude, and they stopped doing any massage/paraffin/hot towel like they used to. I'm going to look for a different place. read more

Extremely rude. The owner has messed up my appointments twice. They over charge you for a gel pedicure with a green tea spa treatment. You're charged twice basically for your pedi. AND the employees can't answer questions; they always have to check in with the owner before answering. Feels like a sweatshop is being run here. She controls everything, yet never tells them what it is the customer wants. Major communication issues here! They really know how to do quality work, but if customer service is important to you, then don't come here. read more

I went in asking for a pedicure and gel manicure. The sign on the door clearly said they took credit card. I had a decent if not tad expensive pedicure and was about to have my nails started when I heard the lady next to me try and pay with a card and was told they don't take card. I was shocked by this fact since I had no cash on me. They said to go to the atm at the deli. I don't have an atm card. Thankfully I had a friend staying nearby that I had to call and have them come bring cash for me. It was a disaster! There were absolutely NO apologies. The didn't care. I said they have a sign declaring that they take card. The manager said the machine hadn't worked for four days and I should've known to ask. And that it was MY fault!!! They were VERY trudge about the whole thing! Plus my gel manicure was a different color than I wanted because the manicurist didn't want to work with that particular sparkly one... Over all a HORRIBLE experience. Rude, pricey, and slow. read more
