    Nails!
    Erica G.

    Esther and the nail techs here are amazing! Got my nails done with a palm tree gel design for my honeymoon and it came out perfect!! They always do a great job here.

    Charming Nails always does an incredible job! The first time I came here, I needed to get my nails fixed as another nail salon in the neighborhood did a very poor job and Esther spent the time to repair my bad nail job and turn them into something I was happy to show off. All of the staff is very friendly and it's fairly easy to get an appointment for the date and time that you'd like. They've also repaired a nail of mine the day after I originally got them done as a nail broke, free of charge. Could not recommend enough!

    Charming isn't quite the word; average is more like it. My friend and I for a wild girls night out went here for a mani/pedi for $34; I booked over the phone and had no issues. We get there, and we're shocked as to how small this place is; I'm talking single file walking small. The space was clean, and the licenses of all the women were posted upfront, so that was a plus. Pedicure was average- no reason why it was $23. My girl huffed and puffed the whole time (I even caught her rolling her eyes more than once) as if I was an alien that never got a pedicure before. She never bothered to clean under my nails, and she was apparently allergic to cutting cuticles. The color I picked, a light mint green, was a fussy color to apply, so that pissed her off even more. My friend sat next to me the whole time, and we chatted. We spoke normally - not shouting - and once I was done, my manicurist covered her ears with her hands and shook her head!!! Are you kidding me?! We can't talk in here?!? Needless to say, I left NO tip! Overall, my nails look like I did them. We will NOT be coming back.

    Only putting one star because I have to. Went last Tuesday to get my nails done for graduation. Asked them to remove my old ones and put a new set. Got a new set of nail extensions + dip w/ UV. They looked like this after a week. Called them up yesterday and asked to get them fixed. Both ladies on the phone said it could be done. I specifically told them it had been one week. The second lady (the boss I'm assuming) said she'd fix it. Get there today (Thursday), the lady who did them is there and starts arguing saying there's no guarantee after 10 days (it's been 8 days essentially as I went first thing this morning), the nails are supposed to look like that because "you need to get them refilled every two weeks", and said she'd fix it but she'd charge me. She kept saying the lady on the phone "misunderstood" me. I left because I was furious and it was clear they never had any intention of fixing them or refunding me. Super unprofessional, horrible quality, and avoid at all costs. How this place has good reviews is a world wonder.

    Charming nails is a gem in the UES. Tucked away on a side street, it's small inside but they are friendly and accommodating. They have many regular customers so I recommend calling ahead. Sarah is very talented at nail extensions and happy to recreate trendy designs from reference photos. Reasonable pricing for the area as well. I love my nails!

    Pedicure right after finishing.

    I went for a gel manicure and spa pedicure (~$90 total before tip) and my experience was just okay. Took over two hours to finish even though I was literally the only person in the salon when I went. They did a good job on my manicure and I really enjoyed the masks and scrubs they did on my feet for the pedicure. It was a great pedicure aside from the actual nail treatment part. My polish didn't look great and nails were uneven. It is now 5 days later and one of my nails was cut so short that it's digging into the skin on the side of my toe which is not only very painful but also causing my toe to be red, swollen, and have some puss.

    If you are deciding which of the MANY nail salons to choose from, save yourself some time and go to Charming Nails. The best nail salon I have ever been to. Sarah does an unbelievable job and is very meticulous about each and every detail. It has a very friendly and welcoming vibe. Sarah greeted me at the door by name and it was clear many of the other customers had been coming for years. It's a cute little shop in a great part of UES. You will be happy you discovered this gem.

    They have done a fantastic job at reopening with precaution. They require masks, take temperature, give hand sanitizer, and require all customers to sign a waiver that they are COVID free. Lucy did my nails and she was so kind, thoughtful, and attentive. She did not rush through even though they benefit from cycling people through more quickly with less capacity. Highly recommend!! Make sure you call ahead!

    I was walking in the neighborhood looking for a nail salon last minute and happened to see this small hole in the wall place. They were nice enough to accommodate me even though I didn't have an appointment. I showed them a picture of what I wanted and my technician Tina did not disappoint. My nails came out perfect and I am so happy with not only my nails but the kindness of the staff here.

    I love this place. I'm always happy with how my gel nails turn out. They usually last me more than two weeks. The ladies are very nice and efficient. Note, they're not the best at designs.

    My first wax experience here was not good. The technician was not at all empathetic to the pain I…read morewas experiencing and she basically rushed through my first ever Brazilian wax. I returned two days later to wax my legs and get a clean up of the hair left by the first tech. I was fortunate to get Daeja who was thorough, and she touched each area as soon as it was waxed, which helped to soothe the immediate pain. I quickly changed my next appointment from the first tech to Daeja. If you don't like walking barefoot on sketchy floors, I suggest bringing a pair of slippers when getting a leg wax. Also, I bought several of the recommended products and broke out so severely, I had to see a doctor who prescribed anti inflammatory meds. Check the ingredients before buying the products or do a patch test to ensure it agrees with your skin type. I look forward to my next wax with Daeja because I know she will be thorough and she is customer-friendly. I'm rating my second experience in this survey, not my first visit. If I rated my first visit with the other tech, I would have to rate it one star.

Now that I moved a few subway stops away, it takes me a bit longer to get to this location but it's still closer than Grand Central and plus with the Wax Pass offer, you get an extra free wax by going to this location for all of your waxes. I always sign up for the wax pass offer when it's available because you get 2-3 waxes free and it's an overall discount on the service as well. I've tried other wax places outside of EWC and prefer EWC. The quality and consistency is the best. Let me know if you'd like a referral! :o)

After the service, I noticed that there were huge chunks of skin ripped out below my eyebrow and at my upper lip. She told me it was normal for waxing and blamed it on my pimple? I've never had this happen before. I also noticed they double dip for the wax. I received no apologies, absolutely nothing. Never coming here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. ** Update: Went back and the manager, Ava, came in to apologize and offered a full refund. I appreciate her sincerity and she took full accountability for her employee's actions. The woman who did my service apologized but continued to make excuses as to why it happened and blamed it on the weather (?). She obviously didn't take accountability, but I didn't want to waste anymore time arguing with her. **

Pedicure itself was fine but when it came to tipping at the end, I wanted to tip through card / Apple Pay. However they insisted on cash or Venmo. I don't carry cash and my phone was dead (so no access to Venmo). HOWEVER they forced me to charge my phone with the salon charger so they can receive tip through Venmo. This was humiliating and not to mention entitled of the salon to assume that they earned a tip. They acted this way even though there were other customers in the salon watching all of this happen. After charging my phone for a min, they admitted that they can accept tip through card. The pedicure itself was fine but I am never going back here for the horrible customer service. Up until this point, the service was great and I was planning on making Kawaii Salon my main spot for manis and pedis. Ended up tipping $10 on $60 pedi.
