Came here a few times and really loved my manicures and pedicures every time! I even messed up my nails a little an hour after leaving and returned to cheerful faces to fix my nail free of charge! How awesome?! Nail polish selection is plentiful which is a plus. However, I started to realize the nail technicians reused their tools between customers. Unfortunately, I had to stop coming here for this reason. The last time I visited, the technician used a file and the clipper with skin and nail filings from a previous customer. I uncomfortably had to ask for her to clean it before using it on my skin as I sat in the chair mid manicure skeeved out! Cleanliness is a HUGE deal as fungus and bacteria easily can spread from customer to customer. This is the reason for a 3 star review. If you don't mind this aspect (cleanliness) of a nail salon, then this place has everything else going for it and you should give it a try! read more

The woman who did my nails was lovely and very good. She noticed my cuticles/nailbeds were irritated and she was very careful trimming them and not judgemental at all. The regular $10 mani lasted all the way through BookCon weekend (very hectic) and is still flawless. Not a chip in sight. read more

I have tried many different nail salons but I went here once and never looked back. I feel like the women working here truly care not just about the work but us as customers and people. It still is amazing to me how the owner knows every single customer by name. Highly recommend. read more

I have been going to Danfe nails for waxing and mani-pedi for 10 years. I moved out of the neighborhood, but I always return to Danfe nails because it is the best salon on the Upper East Side. From the first day I walked into the salon, the owner Lalita was polite and professional. She remembers my name and knows my particular request. She has assembled a team of excellent aestheticians that are polite and prolific with their trade. I am now getting a pedi and I am so thankful to be here with Lalita and her staff; they are top tier. read more

I really appreciate Danfe Nail Salon.. The service is great & I have never experienced a wait.. They take their time giving you a manicure & all while you are having your nails done another woman comes over & gives you a shoulder massage (of course its to get you to pay 10 min $10) but its worth it!! I have not had a pedicure with them as of yet because I am extra picky but will give it a shot next time.. read more

My favorite nail place in Yorkville!!! Everyone is so nice, and my nails come out impeccable every single time. They always do a complimentary back massage with every service, aside from the hand and foot massages that come with manis and pedis. This place gets busy on weekends so it's best to call first and make an appointment. I also recommend trying the essie gel instead of regular polish because it lasts way longer. read more

Excellent service. Friendly workers. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend. They are always busy; it's a good sign :)

BEAUTIFUL COLOR SELECTION! This is my go to nail spot, the ladies are nice and nothing is rushed. The prices are very reasonable and they even give u free mini massages :) read more

I looked through so many nail salons and decided on this one. I got a mani-pedi ($25) and the woman who did my nails did an amazing job.

Danfe Nails - You can see my nails a bit better here - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

I have been coming here for over 10 years. I absolutely love it here. Run by an amazing woman, who makes a tremendous effort to remember all of her clients' names -- with great success. This salon values client loyalty above anything. Every single one of the manicurists here is incredible. They are gentle and lovely. I always get the Essie Gel and it lasts me about two weeks, with no chips! So reasonably priced. I always get a 10 min massage after my nails are done - they have hands of gold! Even if you don't get a 10 min massage, they'll always throw in a few minutes while your nails are drying. Pro tip - schedule in advance for a non-busy time, and you might be able to get a massage while your nails are being painted! Can't recommend this place any stronger!! read more

Excellent service. Extremely competent. Well priced. Walk ins welcome. Been going here for years read more

My go to nail salon. They are all so friendly here. Great prices in NYC. They have a punch card that you can use to add up points for a free manicure. They also gave everyone a lotion for Christmas. read more

I visited this salon the other day. This place had a reasonable price and the technician was pretty quick. I got regular manicure and look how it is. It's really bad. To be honest, I could have done it better by myself read more

Danfe Nails - Worst ever - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Was in town unexpectedly and needed nails done and a pedicure "Danfe Nails" was close to my location. The salon was clean, friendly, and reasonable...For anyone living in the area or visiting the area I highly recommend this salon. read more

The woman who did my nails was rude the entire time and did a horrible job. She kept huffing and puffing. I also had to ask her several times to get the skin dangling off that she didn't cut. Not to mention my nails chipped the next day. Probably the worst mani/pedi I've had. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend going here. read more

Staff is nice but their gel manicures only last about a week before they chip off. This has happened on multiple occasions

I've lived on the UES for over a year now and have been on the constant hunt for a nail salon that is clean, reasonably priced, and where good people work that have high standards. If you're in the neighborhood and in need of a mani and/or pedi stop by Danfe Nails. Promise you won't be disappointed! read more

I feel a little guilty writing this review after reading how much other Yelpers like this place. But, I guess the whole point of this thing is that I'm honest about my experience. Here goes.. Nails and Pleasure wasn't BAD, by any means. Overall, the atmosphere is pleasant, the price is reasonable, and the color selection was relatively good. So if you are in a rush and happen to be walking by this place, by all means, go in. BUT...we all know in NYC there are literally 4 of these places at every corner. They are all pretty cheap, offer a similar environment, etc. SO in order to be deserving of more stars, you need to get your basics down. I don't even expect anything different or over the top, but basics are a must. For example, the hot towels they used for my manicure weren't hot. I appreciated that she searched for another one but when she realized there weren't any, I was given a cold wet towel. Ugh. I also started bleeding when she broke skin on my cuticles. Ouch. Now, I don't know anything about how to do nails, but this hasn't happened to me before so I imagine it's not normal. Then, when I was done, it took me forever to pay. They saw me standing up there but I had to ask someone a few times if someone was available for me to check out. I understand that they were busy, but still. So I guess this place is fine but I would never really choose it amongst all the other options available. Like I said, it'll do the job if you are closeby and need something real quick. But if you are treating yourself, I'd go elsewhere. read more

WHY WOULD YOU EVER NAME A PLACE "Nails and Pleasure" !?? I still can't help but smirk everytime I see this salon. HOWEVER, this is the by far the best salon with the best deal on the Upper East Side. Five stars all around with the exception of the name (it HAS to drive people away). For $30, you are treated to a luxurious Mani/Pedi - complete with complimentary foot paraffin treatment - as well as a short shoulder massage. To be honest, I'm a little weirded out by salon massages in general, but after a very stressful week I gave in, and did not regret it. The salon is VERY clean (as opposed to the basement salon further down York), in spite of their apparent "dog friendly" status (two wannabe socialites brought their dogs to the salon... insert eye roll here). Overall, a wonderful spot, friendly service, A+ all around. read more

Got a mani/pedi on Sunday. The pedicure was one of they best I've gotten and I love the shape she filed my nails (kinda of a rounded square) unfortunately one of my nails chipped today (Tuesday) I was upset about it but remembered seeing a sign saying if something happened to your nails within two days they'd fix it, so I went in to ask...why not? Well, they were amazing! Sat me right away and fixed the chipped nail and the one that looked like it was ready too. This is the best customer service I've ever had at a nail salon and know I've definitely found my weekly place! read more

My first time at this little place.. :) Great prices, attentive. A good mani/pedi. Throw in the massage.. I'm happy.. Love the energy of the place. Be forewarned, it is a tiny place and I am sure when crowded it can be hard to maneuver around, but I went early in the morning on a weekday . 3 clients besides me.. BTW.. I NEVER let anyone cut my cuticles.. I always tell the manicurist 'Not to cut. PUSH the cuticles back' read more

It it now Danfe Nails - but the same woman runs it with the name workers. Yes there a trillion nail places in the city that are similar. By no means is this the spa-like atmosphere, but it is clean with great prices and very hard working staff. They always remember their costumers and do their best to accommodate. My roommate and I were right around the corner from the salon for 2 years and went all the time. We recently moved a few blocks away but still make the trek over to York to get the great deal and customer service from Danfe Nails! (PS - Their top coat is AMAZING..your nails really last.) read more

Was looking for a cheap manicure close to my apt and walked by, peeked inside, saw the board said $9 for a manicure so I was sold. They have a decent selection of essie colors, few OPI colors, and shellec and OPI Gel colors. My manicurist was quick but super thorough. One woman walked over and gave me a five minute massage while I was getting my nails done and then again got another mini massage at end when sat down to dry. Mani/Pedi is $25 and a 10 minute massage is $10. The pedicure chairs looked comfortable and they had a big screen TV on as well. This will definitely be my go to nail salon for the neighborhood. read more

Danfe Nails - Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

First, let me say, this is the ONE nail salon I've been to where you don't get the feeling that they are talking SHIT about you and their other clients. Everyone is so nice! Lola is in charge. She knows everyone's name and makes you feel like a friend. She knows what you like and probably knows your mom by her first name, even though she will call her mommy when you're there together when telling one of her girls to take care of her. "Go get mommy's coat" etc. BEST SERVICE EVER. Can't say more about Daowa and Yang! Lang is SUPER STRONG when it comes to massage. Daowa's massage just feels GOOOOOOOD. They are my two favorites for massage and pedicures. Lola did my gel french manicure for my wedding. I wish i had photos but it was 2 years ago and i never wrote a proper review back then. I am sore today from working out and i WILL be seeing Yang or Doawa TO-MORROW! 5 stars because I can't leave 6! read more

Went here a few times and had a great experience. Last time I went I got a gel mani sure that only lasted 3 days. I went a week ago and now all nails have come off which is disappointing. They usually do a good job and are reasonably priced but maybe since it was busy she didn't do it correctly this time? read more

Had a great first experience. Will go back! Reasonably priced and they knew all of their customers by name!

Extremely rude and rushed through everything. i got a pedicure and walked over to dry and she was distracted and pushed my chair in too aggressively messed up two toes and i told her and she began to freak out yelling how did that happen while angrily redoing them. Very unprofessional and would. can find a much better place around here for pedicure. will not be coming back. read more

I really enjoy this nail salon! The prices are reasonable and the place is clean. Even when it's busy the wait is rarely more than 5-10 minutes. Manicures here have lasted about 5-7 days, which I always appreciate. The technicians are all very friendly too, which is great. This place gives the BEST massages. I make the trek to York for those massages...they are that good! I haven't paid for a 10 minute one yet, but the ones I have received while getting a manicure and also during the drying time have been fantastic! Highly recommend! read more

I LOVE Danfe Nails. I went to another place on the upper east side a month before my wedding and they JACKED up my fingers. I was literally bleeding and later all scabbed over. Thank god I went a month before my wedding to test different places out. I ended up at Danfe Nails with the owner. She took them off and replaced them with a gentler kind of process so I still had french tips but my real nail wasn't being damaged AND She was firm but didn't cut me ONCE. My nails looked amazing for my wedding and I've been going to them ever since. Their prices are VERY competitive too. Oh and on another occasion, I was trying to get my hair done and nails and feet all within a short span of time. They started on my hands, she let me leave without paying, go get my hair done (i was on the wait list and they called while I was in the chair at Danfe) and come back to finish my toes. It just feels like home there to me. Love Danfe. read more

I have been going here since I moved to the area. They are so nice and caring. The price for mani/ pedi is $29 and they give a great massage if you want to add ten minutes. read more

I found Danfe after reading a few reviews of nail salons in my area and all of the good reviews stand true! Excellent service, clean, friendly, walk-ins welcome with a neighborhood feel. I usually get gel manicures and regular pedicures, both of which last 2-3 weeks. Danfe is always accommodating and never rushed. Would definitely recommend! read more

Good value but making an appointment seems a waste of time. I had an appointment at 1130 on a Friday but it is now 1150 and I am still waiting.... read more

No respect for customers. Consistently makes you wait when you make an appointment. Even if I call before my appointment to ask how she is running she will say come in and then takes a customer who walks in and makes me wait. Always says will be with you in a minute and it will be 40 minutes and you are still waiting. Not worth feeling like my time is not important always. read more

i love this place! the prices are great and the wait is never long. the owner is so kind and they always do such a good job on my nails!

I have been a loyal customer for years and they get better and better! It is always clean, the colors are fresh and the newest Essie and OPI variety. Lolita, the owner, really loves and takes pride in her business. She values her customers and treats them like family! Danfe is a neighborhood gem. read more

Nice place. Very friendly staff. They have a wide variety of colors including new ones. The only drawback is that it's on the smaller side. Only three pedicure chairs. read more

This is the best nail salon in my neighborhood. I always get a great gel manicure and pedicure in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Place is nice, a little pricy for me but over all loved my experience there. The only thing I'm very disappointed about is that I did a gel manicure and after a week and a half, my nail polish chipped .. not a good look for a first time going there. Don't think I'll be going there again.. read more
