I'm so excited to share about a new nail polish brand that Joanne at Dashing Diva turned me onto... I'm a client that wears the same color year round and I don't use anything but Essie 7day nail polish. Recently Joanne asked me to try Dazzle Dry because it dries fast and looks amazing! (I hate drying!) I am in love! They have tons of colors and it costs a little more but it is totally worth it. My new go to and I love that it lasted 2 weeks. DD has so many brands of polish and gels, so no matter what you decide- they have it. read more

Love! Perfect nails, really nice people!! I had really specific complex nails, which has gotten turned down by other salons. But at dashing diva they made it work and never gave up!!!! read more

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I tend to be picky when getting my nails done but they were very receptive. I did notice there was a bit of a rush but also could be because they were closing in 2 hrs. The salon is clean and relaxing. Got normal gel nail polish $45, spoiled diva pedicure $55. read more

Had the most unpleasant experience getting dip powder here. The manager did my nails, and it was anything but relaxing. From the start, she made it clear she didn't want to be doing my nails--sighing loudly and slamming tools down throughout the appointment. She was extremely rough, gripping my hands too tightly and flipping them aggressively while filing. At one point, she didn't like how I had positioned my arm, so she grabbed it and forcefully tossed it onto the armrest. Instead of just asking me to relax a finger, she would look up and glare at me. On top of the unprofessional behavior, the manicure itself was disappointing and definitely not worth the $65. The dip color is uneven, doesn't fully cover my nails, and my cuticles were poorly done. There are even specks of powder left on some nails. Overall, a frustrating and uncomfortable experience that I would not recommend. read more

I love visiting this salon. Always polite and great service! I'm always satisfied with my manicure and pedicure!

Service was great and felt so welcomed! Love the nails! Super cute and so helpful for picking out colors! read more

Dashing diva Chelsea - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

My favorite place on the planet! Best nail salon in Chelsea! Service is always 10/10. Clean and fabulous!

Really disappointing experience overall because when we were greeted by the kind and wonderful woman at the desk (Jolene, Joann maybe?) I had high hopes! However, the two women who switched off doing my nails made it unpleasant. I asked if she could trim my cuticles and was told to "stop asking questions". They didn't trim my natural nails, clean underneath my nails or even wash my hands. The kicker was when I asked "hi! can we clean up under my nails a little?" (Note the absolutely excessive amount of gel adhesive... I was told "that's just gel it's not a problem" . I mean it kind of is for a $100 manicure.... Disappointing and won't be going back. Going to clean up my nails myself tonight once I get home. Justice for my girl Jo tbh she deserves better coworkers!! read more

Nail techs are quick and friendly, there was a bit of disorganization with scheduling appointments and tending to which customer in order. Many of the customers are very entitled and give the nail techs a hard time - hopefully they can calm themselves down and treat the salon employees with more respect and grace. read more

Nice salon. Modern and clean with extensive polish selection. All the techs do a good job. Easy to book mani and pedi.

Service was the best I've ever received, nails were professional and well worth the price!

I really like this salon. It's cheery and they care about making sure you get exactly what you want for your nails. I had questions about what nails were best for me... hard gel, dip gel, etc. and the manager was very helpful in explaining the differences. Lisa is an amazing nail artist (and perfectionist)! She took the time to make sure the shape and polish looked natural on my nails. read more

Never going back! Admittedly I'm new to the gel world. Had a few times and always fabulous! This place didn't carry any brands I knew or colors I recognized. "I know, I know" was uttered no less than 20 times. The final look is not at all what I wanted. Plus it was poorly done and unsafe. The electric filing went way to deep. It hurt a number of times. As did the UV light bc of the aggressive filing. Asked for sheer, which I had before and I have baby pink fake looking nails. Poor painting leaves spots without color, every mail is a different length and one nail broke the next day!!!! Guessing I have to stay away from gels for a while bc nails are so unhealthy. Had the most healthy nails before. Thick, long and strong. Now, imagining under these gels I have barely anything left. Criminal and irresponsible. Cannot say more strongly that I will never go back. read more

I was asked over and over again where I live and where I work. I didn't hear anyone else being asked this. This was hands down the worst nail experience of all time. They did my toes nails crooked I had to get them redone then the nails were gel x apres extentions were half assed done and I paid $300 for everything. The worst experience I was trying to treat myself now I just want to cry and feel robbed. And they had the nerve to ask me who did my nails before like they do a better job what a joke. I'm reaching out to the CEO of this chain and if these nails come off before two weeks I want my money back. read more

Poor work for a lot of money. I went here thinking it would be a better experience. Martha cut my long nails very short, made them uneven/different shapes and cut up all my cuticles. It's been a week and the SNS powder gel is already coming off tips of my nails bc it wasn't sealed properly. Don't come here and waste your money. Poor experience. read more

Dashing diva Chelsea - Bleeding from rough filing and tools - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Shockingly poor techniques with minimal attention to long term impact. Frequent up-charging for increasingly torn and broken nails caused by their aggressive interventions, especially removal of gel polish. They prioritize speed, rather than gentleness or patience, over-relying on mechanical tools that damage nail beds. While their "painted" nails may superficially look fine, the longer term consequences are shocking. After several months of spending more and more to repair damage they inflicted, I spent many months to grow out nails to any facsimile of their original health. There are far better salons even nearby in the Chelsea neighborhood which provide excellent service and quality. read more

Such sweet and helpful staff! I would go back. Their spa pedicure is pretty impressive.

Place and staff is nice and all but they don't know how to give good mani or pedi, so dissatisfied

Nails not done nicely. Feel like the mail tech got offended that I brought my own polish and the manicure was a big sloppy. Would not return. read more

Very friendly, clean, relaxing. Julie was very professional, fixed a chipped toe nail and provided a great quality classic manicure.

Extremely clean and hygienic-- spotlessly clean. All techs are great and always do a really nice crisp looking manicure or pedicure. But Lucy is especially thorough and does a magnificent job. read more

I got a pedicure and the service was amazing! Staff is very friendly, caring, and professional.

I moved into the Chelsea area a bit ago and am happy to have found this DD location! The ladies are always super kind, COVID-conscious, and do a fantastic job on both my nails and lashes. Thank you girls! read more

Do NOT come here for waxing. SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY AND TIME. Choi did a Brazilian wax on me and did the worst job I have ever gotten - there are patches left that she did not get and refused to remove because she didn't "have time". An incredibly messy job, she also kept adding additional cost to the service for areas that come included in the whole "brazilian" service standard at other salons. Walked away $100 with a terrible mess. Then, I felt pressured by the merchant to tip her for the bad job, as she directed me to the ATM IN THEIR SALON. I gave her $10 and got scoured at, as if $10 was not enough. NOT WORTH IT. Go somewhere else! read more

Dashing diva Chelsea - Such a beautiful color gel manicure ! Love it :) - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Headed here for a quick pedi while hubby got his golf on at the piers... Set up and design is very pleasing to the eye. Staff is incredibly friendly, which should be the norm for all nail places. Lucy did a great job on my feet, gave an awesome leg massage. Lucy was accommodating and very attentive. While I dried my toes, another employee suggested a 10 min massage for $15, and I thought "Sure! Why the hell not?" Omaigaa she was great, you don't know how much you need a massage until after you have one. I wish I had taken down her name. I always get anxiety when it comes to putting sneakers on after having my toes done lol, so I was dreading having to leave. Lucy came right away and helped me with the saran wrap deal and putting socks and shoes on. Pedi came out to about $30, which is more than I usually pay, but it was totally worth it. I loved it here! read more

Dashing diva Chelsea - Love the decor - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Atmosphere is really nice, pedi stations in the back are great for a group of friends. The color selection was adequate but smaller than I've seen at other salons. The "final product" - meaning the consistency of the polish on the nails, not missing spots, no spill over on my toes, etc. was very good. However, the experience itself was lacking. Zero, and I do mean zero, foot or calf massage. not even a weak one. Also, virtually no scrub on the heels. I don't have much in terms of callouses, but it is pretty typical that I'll get some sort of pumice or abrasive work to soften them up just a bit. My tech (I think Steven, but I could be remembering wrong) put some gel on a paddle and gave about two swipes back and forth with zero pressure and that was it. As I have probably mentioned before on other salon reviews, my pedi experience is as much (if not more) about the foot/calf treatment as it is about the polish. For that reason, this is a 3 star establishment, perhaps even a 3-minus considering that they are priced on the high side for being just a nail salon. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. The RUDEST people!!OMG!!!Been getting my nails done in West Village at Salon De Oasis for years. Move to this neighborhood and decided to try something closer. HELL no will be walking myself back to West Village. Not only did the first idiot not know how to cut my nails, then the manager comes to finish me and she rudely tells me to leave before doing my manicure after my pedicure because they don't have time!! What rude people! WOW! Do NOT recommend them AT ALL! AND my nails look like a 10 year old polished them! read more

I went in tired and probably looking dreadful after a long day at the office. I came out looking like a Dashing Diva. ::wink:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately I can't give you much info on pricing and other services (we were part of a private event which meant free mani/pedi's!) but I can tell you about the service: - There are dozens and dozens of different colors of polish to choose from. Go ahead and look at them all! Note: the display rotates. So all you have to do is stand, spin and select your color. - I chose a dashing diva original blue color called "box seats." Amazing color. I received compliments from friends, coworkers and total strangers on the subway about the color for over a week following my visit. - If you have a choice - ask for MinJee. She was bubbly and super sweet and just plain awesome. - The rest of the staff was kind and held my bag as I stepped down from the pedicure platform and over to the drying station. - The decor was modern and comfortable and pink! read more

It was a nice atmosphere & good service , but at the end lady/owner of the salon that took payment from me put such an awful taste in my mouth I made a payment by credit card and tip as a cash , but no this lady that took my payment from + tip with a extremely awful attitude and anger in her face told me that I must pay 15%-20% tip from total amount This is very rude & not acceptable There is no sign or application that can force they're customers to pay such a huge amount as a tip Terrible & if they will continue to do this all they're customers will walk away There is sooooo..... many fantastic nail salons in Manhattan and they're happy with any type of tip read more

Ritz prices. Motel 6 service. I really wanted to like this place and have gone many times with the lines being too long for them to see me. Went at an off hour and either the staff (I had Cindy) was off or the place doesn't live up to expectations. The guy next to me seemed to be getting a killer pedicure so maybe it's just the person I got. Proceed with caution. read more

Ann gave me the best manicure of my life. I will definitely come back! Great service, clean place, nice ambiance.

I recently moved to West Chelsea and I have yet to find a nail place that I like. When it came to customer service, everyone was very friendly and welcoming at Dashing Divas. When it came to quality of services, I was pretty disappointed. I came for a gel manicure for a wedding. My nails look lumpy, she did not clean underneath my nails or clean up around my nail beds, and she didn't paint up to my skin at the nail bed so it already looks grown out. On top of that, it cost $40.76 which is extremely overpriced to me for the quality of the service. I wouldn't go back. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. I have two nails that are bumpy and messed up (SNS Manicure). She had to redo my thumb 3 (after I brought it to her attention, not after she took time to check) times and didn't even bother to check the others. Now 3 days later one has already cracked. I'm from out of town so I believe they should refund my card. If so, I would happily amend this review. They were also incredibly rude (salon was empty on a Saturday afternoon so I am thinking the reviews below about their rudeness are true). Waste of $60. There's so many nail salons, walk a few blocks and check out another salon read more

So incredibly rude here. I called to see if they were still open and they told me they don't take appointments then hung up on me but I went anyway. Regret going. So much potential but their attitude is just the worst. Soooo many other places to get a great mani/pedi in the neighborhood. read more

I thought this place was great when i visited a couple months ago, but i guess i didnt truly appreciate it until my unpleasant experience at Trevi Nails. I took for granted that they had a girl at the front desk who takes the calls and appointments. Im not sure if its the same girl every time but this girls was really polite and especially helpful with my coat and other winter crap at the end of my visit. This place is very clean and very pink and that there is a huuuge selection of nail polish. The seats all look brand new and there are tv's to stare at. The service is aweeesome! nevermind if the manicurist doesnt speak english, she makes up for it in talent. The massages were relaxing and my toes and nails came out perfect. I walked away feeling refreshed and grateful for service that was way more than i expected. This place makes all other salons seem mediocre read more
