I hadn't gotten my nails done since pre-pandemic and was feelin like treating myself, so I decided…read moreto book Lili and Cata for a couple reasons: - They're one of the only nail salons in the area that have a website, post prices online, and let you book online - Reasonable prices (there are definitely cheaper places, but a lot of them looked less clean or had worse reviews) - Non-Toxic polish - Good reviews It was super easy to book an appointment, and a week later, I can say that I would highly recommend this place and it's definitely on the upper tier of nail places in NYC!! I got the basic gel manicure and regular pedicure, and it came out to $98 before tax + tip. I got my nails done with Jasmin, and she did a great job perfectly shaping my nails + painting. Also was so impressed with my pedicure (not pictured), as my feet were in terrible condition and they look soooo good now! It's been a week and my nails haven't chipped at all. Sometimes when I go to nail salons the paint job is a little messy, and when I do light colors I'm worried about it being streaky or uneven, but this place was really great about meticulously painting, and it looks great! They also give you a little moisturizer and hand/foot massage with the standard mani/pedi which was a nice touch. Everyone there was super nice and I like that there was a cafe attached where you could get something to sip on or eat while you waited. All in all, would definitely recommend, really high quality service and good value IMO, will be coming back soon!

I experienced appalling discrimination and maltreatment at this salon. Upon arrival, I was met with…read moreimmediate attitude by the receptionist. When I approached, I was asked about my dialysis, and she stated she was unable to serve me due to my disability. I asked if there was any way to schedule help, but she looked at me and said, "No, there is no one here to help you." I scanned the room and saw multiple nail techs sitting and waiting. When I asked to speak to a manager--as she had been on her phone during our entire conversation--she laughed and stated, "I am the owner." I have never been more disrespected. Refusing service based on race and disability is illegal and completely unacceptable. Avoid this business.

Went for gel mani and gel pedi. Elva Li (Nail Tech/Nail Artist) was READY as soon as I walked. she had the photo I sent pulled up, asked a few questions and got straight to work. To sum it up, Elva did better than the Ai photo and I got out before I thought I would. Found my new nail salon close to home. Clean, comfortable, quiet, relaxing, amazing customer service, quick. Thank you Nail of The Day! Thank you Elva Li!

I went in a few weeks ago to have a set removed. I don't usually have extensions, but I had them…read morefor my wedding and wanted them taken off. When googling around I saw they had this service listed on their website. I just recently moved to a building two blocks over so I stopped by to make an appointment to have them removed. Everything after that was chaos. They had no idea what I was asking for and treated me like I was doing something shady or weird, when it's a listed service on their website with a price and everything. Halfway through the service, they asked if I also wanted a manicure. I repeated what I told the woman at the front desk: my nails beneath the extensions are too weak and damaged from all the fill ins so I want to let them grow out a bit, but I wanted to have them filed / trimmed / shaped etc once the extensions were off so the would at least look clean. They told me this would cost extra. I gave them some side eye because that should be part of the price but told them that was fine. At the end of the service, the woman told me I was done and could go. I was shocked. My nails were a mess. Not trimmed, not neat, with edges literally cracking and hanging off. They didn't charge me for the clean up service, but I couldn't believe they were going to send me on my way with nails looking how they did, super damaged and ugly. I went home to finish the job myself. Additionally, they treated every other customer who came in way different. Other girls were offered little stools to put their bags on while mine was put on the floor right next to old nail clippings etc. Even if it wasn't for the terrible service, I wouldnt go back for the poor treatment alone. I was treated so strangely for asking for a service that they say, per their website, they offer. Luckily, primp and polish is only a few blocks away. I've been going there ever since. The space is clean and bright, the staff are friendly, and the prices are comparable. I will never return to nail of the day.

It just been many misses the past months. I got this time a gel acrylic tip. I asked for short almond with a yellow French tip design. Everything was just so rushed and unorganized. They had so many people come in and they want to attend all but it's only three females working and all shuffling around each other. Literally all three woman did different things to partake in doing my nails and still they came out so bad. I'm not one to complain because I just feel so uncomfortable having to do so but even if I did I couldn't because they had already started working on 5 other people they said yes to while only being 3 workers working ! So I would've needed to wait even longer to get them fixed. My thumbs were two different shapes. And my nails just looked so bad they shaped them in like 4 minutes all my 10 fingers which I feel takes time but they didn't bc they all rushing and just taking on more than they can so my nails were all just not shaped or buffed out and smoothed out at all. Making the shape look so bad from the sides as you can see. And then the paint job was awful! It was so bulky and looking like waves on my nails which you can see in the pictures and especially on the sides how bad it all looks. I left so sad and defeated because I paid $60 for this job and left a tip to make it $70! Just to come home and remove it all. Then the past months I get a gel manicure on my nails very simple manicure of just gel and they start chipping within 5 days never did it use to do that but three times I've gone and that's what I ended up with so it's time for me to just not come here anymore they gone so downhill

As of December 2024:…read more I've been a client of theirs for almost 2 years now and adore their weekday deals and services! Honestly I don't have a go-to manicurist because, in my opinion, the ladies who have served me (usually) did an excellent job- minus some accidental hiccups. Overall, the employees are professional, can read the room, and do a nice job. The price is reasonable for the location (especially) with the weekday specials. The music is excellent as they play a playlist of lofi hits. Most of the clients also keep to themselves whenever I visit so the ambience is peaceful, especially for those who need a rest from NYC's busy life. The color variety and quality brands they curate are excellent too so there will be a color you can find even if the one that you initially wanted is discounted (I'm looking at you silver!!!). Pros: Service is professional and on time Variety of quality colors and brands Appointments made through website, app, phone or in person Walk ins available but not recommended at peak time Clean bathroom Coat check Clean space Peaceful ambience Front desk service Free drinks (wine, tea, water, hot chocolate) Accepts cash and card/contactless Accepts cash or venmo payment for tips Price reasonable with specials from Mon-Thurs Conveniently located near the B62/B32 and G train Cons: Gets very busy, especially for walk ins Definitely a nice nail shop locally made in Greenpoint

As soon as we walked in, we felt like we had stepped into a calm, beautiful sanctuary. The biggest highlight for me is Natalie, an absolutely phenomenal nail artist. Her talent is unmatched--she's detailed, creative, and always gets the design just right. Whether you have a full idea or just a concept, she brings it to life with care and precision. I'm including photos her designs because they're too good not to share. I also want to give love to Rachu, who gave me an amazing pedicure. She was so thoughtful and professional, and the massage chairs were everything. The pedicure space is incredibly relaxing and super clean--such a great setup. We were greeted with warm hospitality and offered wine, tea, coffee, or water as soon as we arrived, which added to the relaxing vibe. Primp and Polish is the full package--beautiful space, top-tier talent, and service that makes you feel truly cared for. Can't wait to come back!

My pedicure tech, massaged my legs and feet so well. I had a deep foot spa treatment and I was so relaxed and in love with how well they treated us. They cut my nails evenly and put in so much work to remove callus as well. They don't do acrylic here which makes the smell inside so relaxing. They use aromatherapy and even have the cutest doggy pet in their shop. He's so quiet and friendly. The owner, I believe, was just so nice. She even massaged my shoulders and neck free of charge. She was so positive and in great spirits. My feet were baby smooth, I've not had a pedicure done so well like this in forever. I chose chrome gel polish which is $10 more but she waived that fee since I didn't see it on any sign. Come here, you won't regret it. They do prefer cash tips btw.

I couldn't be more pleased with my standard pedicure and impeccable cat's eye manicure by Cindy, the manager. I also appreciated the drying fans for toes installed at the manicure stations, which sped up the drying process and allowed me to leave without smudging any toes. I highly recommend this salon.
