I found this nail salon on yelp when my go-to salon in midtown closed early the day I needed some pampering. Was glad that this one located across the street from the restaurant where I was meeting up friends for dinner afterwards. Not sure how this place gets 4.5 stars. It's a rather small place in a building that offers pedicure (a few chairs) and pedicure (a few tables) plus the back area as a hair salon. I'm sorry but I think this is the only salon I've been to that required me to hold a little fan to dry my nails. Really??? They can't afford a small machine? Also, there is only one restroom outside in the hallway for customers. And guess what, the sink is located outside the restroom and someone connected the faucet to a small washing machine so I couldn't wash my hands! I was going to give it two stars but the staff was nice and did a pretty good job. Also, it says appointments needed but they were able to accommodate me right away when I called on a Sat late afternoon. read more

Made a last minute appointment here because my usual nail salon was completely booked. I appreciate that they were able to accommodate me and my friend. I had hard gels nails that needed to be removed which the nail tech did a good job. However, I am quite disappointed with the nail filing she did. Because we were the last appointment for the day and it was 7:50 PM already, she mentioned that we'd have to finish quickly. My experience is that when your nail tech is in a rush, it's never good. I didn't realize she had filed my nails unevenly until I had left and gone home. Now I need to fix them myself because it bothers me too much. The other nail tech that did the gel mani for me was nice but she tried to do an artistic design different from what I asked for but it didn't turn out so great. Although very nice ladies, I would recommend they practice more on their services because I wouldn't mind coming back, but would definitely stick to simple gel manis and say no to nail designs. read more

My friend & I went to Eclair Nails yesterday for gel mani + regular pedi. We both had a bad experience & aren't happy with our nails 1) awful communication & services took way too long. Since my normal place was booked we took a chance on Eclair. By mistake we both made appointments for 2 people & didn't realize that until we arrived at 6:25pm (we got there 5min early). Only 1 other lady was getting a service with 3 nail technicians there working, so we thought great, in & out right?! Nope. After we were both in the pedi chairs soaking with water, another young lady arrived & asked for full set with designs. They began to speak to her in a language we couldn't understand but definitely got the point when oddly the tech who started on my friend got up, went to another station & began to work on the other girl! No one came back for 25min! Other delays occurred & we ended up being there until 9pm 2) shortcuts in service causing nails to look no better than when we arrived. My my nails were never soaked or cuticles weren't properly cut (see photo). No bottom coat on toes. Uneven filing (to the point where I filed on my own). Sloppy gel with top coat that doesn't cover the full nail & paint on the sides of my fingers. We were there too long to get such bad work. 3) sketchy payment. I tipped half my norm in cash even though they really didn't deserve it. I was told my total was $74. When I questioned that b/c of the posted prices saying $64, she reduced to $69 & said the extra $5 was for soaking off prior gel. I went to pay with my card & she told me to pay by venmo (shady given a cc machine was there). It processed immediately on my end & I showed her my phone but she insisted I stay until she could see it on her phone all while admitting they bad cell/wifi. Completely horrible & frustrating experience & I'll have to get my nails redone while on vacation read more

My third time At Eclair. 4 stars for Gel Mani 3 stars for Nail Art/ Nail Deco If you're coming for a regular Gel mani / Pedi I'll recommend this place in a heartbeat. Reasonably priced at $25 Reg Pedi and $35 Gel Mani it is a steal. However, if you're feeling extra extra today (like me) and ventured into crazy nail art and gems (see pics) then I would say maybe it isn't the best nail art I've seen definitely not the worst. It's an ok place for a decent nail art and deco. read more

Okay! So first of all let's get a few disclaimers out of the way. 1) I have my fathers feet so they aren't cute 2) I love dogs I love visiting Eclair Nails! The owner, ShinYoung Kang (I hope I spelled it correctly) always makes my boyfriend feel right home. She's sweet, her staff is knowledgeable and sometime she even brings her puppies, Cashew and Peanut to the shop which is such a treat! The shop itself is cute, clean and brightly decorated. The tools are properly cleans via an ultrasonic. And their vibe is welcoming of all ethnicities which in some settings can be an issue but not here! Shin has totally won my boyfriend and I over and we plan to be life long customers of hers. read more

Eclair Nail - My gel manicure made up from my toes not being the cutest lol - Nail Technicians Near Me - New York, New York

This is one of my the worst salons I've ever been too. I've been to many salons but this tops all bad ones. For the following reason: 1.Staff is very unprofessional. New hire was disrespectful to boss and openly confessing their lack of experience doing gel pedicures (service I was getting). 2. Made me wait 20 minutes for someone who knew how to do gel pedicures after making an appointment. 3.They don't soak your cuticles prior to cutting them. Process is painful and cuticles are not fully cut 4.Do not sanitize all cutting utensils. 5. Did not wash tub after performing a pedicure prior to mine 6. Called prior to making an appt. they told me over the phone it would $76 for my pedicure and manicure if I paid cash. Ended up charging me $81 7. Complained and asked for more tip after the terrible service I received 8. Left gel polish on skin and nails were not shaped consistently I don't recommend this salon in this city. Go to another salon that has a website, is cleaner and more professional for the same price. read more

2 weeks after my regular manicure: Went back to get gel pedicures! I wanted to get extra sparkle on my toes. I was recommended to mix two glitter gel polish to get this perfect rose gold color I wanted :) Super happy with the quality service from the friendly staffs.

Usually, I am very picky about choosing the nail salon. This place was cozy but with cute interior, nice and clean condition. The employees were very nice and polite. My technition (Aileen) did a very good job on getting my nails done. I've never seen any place in Manhattan that removes my cuticles this clean and perfect. She also did a very amazing job with art works on each of my ring fingers. And those were very reasonable price, which other places could been cost me a lot more. Thank you Aileen for providing me a nice service. read more

My friend and I were so glad that we found our go-to nail salon yesterday! The staff were friendly and they seemed very passionate about their job. I usually really don't have a clear idea of what I want to do when it comes to nails but the staff were very agile enough to creatively design my nails to fit my style! My friend and I are going to definitely come back next month! +) I have been back here a couple times. Vivian is soo nice every time! I'm really clumsy with my nails- I bite them, tear them apart. I also have no clue what I'm supposed to do when I come to nail salons but Vivian analyzes my taste from past visits and works magic on them : read more

I haven't been here yet, but they advertise as being open until 10:30pm. So, I called them to ask if I can get a pedicure around 9ish pm and lady that answered the phone said she wouldn't be open until 10:30 just for a pedicure. This is ok but simply don't mislead people with the hours of operation and pick and choose clients to take in based on what services they get. OR put a disclaimer in your Yelp account and say something along the lines of "I will stay open until 10:30 if you make me a lot money. $100 and over. Please call and book for late hours of operations" This way potential customer will know what we are potentially dealing with. read more

Today was grand opening of this new nail salon, and I was very lucky to know this place! They are placed in K town, most busy place in midtown. So far I couldn't find nail salon around 32nd street, so I was very happy to hear that they are in K town. First of all, salon's interior was gorgeous,conceptual(pink), and very cozy. I fall in love when I stepped inside. They have very unique display of nail polishes, and I love that section most. Chair was comfortable, and also they have waiting section with yummy snacks Also they have a lot of high quality brand polish colors( O.P.I and Essie etc), and jewels I can choose. Most important point for me was how professional they are, and without doubt I can give them 5 stars. She who did my gel mani was very nice ans professjonal. I believe she is very skilled nail technician. I prefer to very neat and simple look on my nail. But my nail is too small, so many technician of other salon seemed hard when they care my nail. But technician of eclair nail did without any difficulty, and I love final look of my nail. I definitely visit this place, and I want to try pedi care next time. Also I strongly recommend to people who are looking for new, beautiful and professinal nail salon in midtown! read more

I went in for a gel removal and it ended up costing $36 with tip. I only got my nails cleaned and shaped after. Oh, forgot to mention that they forced me into getting a nail treatment I didn't ask for either. They also cut my thumb. Wouldn't recommend at all. read more

Awful service!!!!!!!! Firstly, I just went in and asked if they can take off my gel manicure and then they said it will be $15. Secondly, then I asked how much for taking off and a regular manicure and they said, "sorry, no we are closing." It's 8:30 pm and they close at 10:30. Terrible service. Do not recommend coming here at all. Awful awful! read more

I came here once before with a friend and the service was good. I had known that the boss lady doesn't speak much english, but she was nice enough, so I decided to come back again since it is near my work place. I even called ahead for an appointment. I arrived promptly at 6pm but was made to wait for 45mins. I observed several calls coming in for appointments, and while the lady answered all the calls and agreed to appointments, she did not record any of it. That's when I realized the whole act was just to give people the impression that you could actually make appointments when in fact, nothing is being recorded and appointments don't really matter. When I finally sat down at the table, the lady ran off to do another customer's hair. Yes, it is also a hair salon. 15mins later, she came back, and we spent the next 5mins trying to communicate. I compromised on the design I wanted just to simplify things. She then told me that she didn't like the colors I chose and kept insisting I pick another color. Before the whole thing started, I told her I didn't want my cuticles to be cut. She didn't like that and insisted on cutting them, and she only stopped when it was obvious it was hurting me for real. Oh, and she didn't want to shorten my nails even though I really wanted it to be short. She did eventually cut my nails... but I wish I had cut it myself to avoid all the drama. Other manicurists I've been to have never had issues with me having short nails. After applying the base coat, she decided she couldn't paint my nails and told me to sit aside to wait for the other manicurist to finish with a customer. It made no sense but I saw that there was no point in arguing. She then proceeded to do the nails of someone who came in after me, but from the looks of it, they knew each other. What should have been a 45min affair took a whole 2hrs. I didn't even really like what I walked away with. Waste of money, waste of time. The lady still had the cheek to ask me for a 5-star review even though I was clearly unhappy. I had remained polite through all of it, so maybe she mistook that for me being satisfied with things. Who knows. Look, I appreciate and respect the hustle. I truly do. But it's clear that she can't do it all and she shouldn't try to because this is completely unprofessional. She should really hire more people. Needless to say, I won't be coming back again. read more

Loved the lady that did my nails - she works very hard and I think she did a great job with mine (simple pink mani pedi). However, the shop felt disorganized and they were really short staffed. The main lady that picked up the phone speaks mostly Korean (badly broken English) so it can be hard to schedule an apt (not to mention it seemed they weren't on top of what they had actually scheduled - someone came in for a scheduled haircut and was told to come back in an hour. He ultimately got his hair cut on time since he insisted, but then another lady who had come in for nails had to wait). Also, they're not super clear on which bottles are premium, and when they warned me right before they put it on, they told me $5 extra. But then it turned out to be $10 extra (unclear why - maybe it's bc they did both mani and pedi so $5 for each? Or maybe it was $5 for the special color but they also have to use a special overcoat which is another $5?). So long story short, the nails themselves turned out great/fine, but I probably won't be back for fear of being stuck in an inefficient process/line and lack of clarity around pricing. read more

One of the worst gel manicures I've ever gotten. The filing and gel removal was so aggressive, and I had two different technicians shaping my nails...so they didn't end up very even. The skin around my fingernails feel raw because of how hard they filed my nails...The entire process was sloppy, and I didn't appreciate them getting frustrated when I voiced how I want my nails to look or for them to fix something. The polish job was so sloppy and uneven, I saw that she wasn't polishing my entire nail with the top coat because it illuminates when under the UV light. On top of all this, they told me not to walk-in next time, and that I should make a reservation. Mind you, I did call to make an appointment prior to coming, they just forgot. read more

I loved being able to text for an appointment. I came in with an inspo photo and Rebecca ran with it. She was super sweet, methodical, and so careful to make the design look good. The price for the design + removal of dip powder is comparable to other salons in the area. My total was $75. I LOVE how my nails came out. Will definitely be going back and bringing my girlfriends! read more

Visited for a simple manicure to relax. The environment was super calm and welcoming, and the technicians were very friendly! Will definitely stop in again after some tasty from down the street. Conveniently located, just a bit hard to spot from the street. Look for the pink neon flamingo in the window on the fourth floor. The salon's name is backwards on the sign so we missed it at first. read more

My colleague and I stopped by Eclair Nail's during our lunch break for a manicure - I was told "appointment only", so I made an appointment through Yelp. My overall experience was not very good one. The lady who did my nails was not gentle. The whole process was rushed and she was not a nice lady. She kept yanking my hands during switch offs and when I brushed one hand over the other, she rudely snapped at me for transferring the oil on my skin onto my fingernails... My colleague and I were shocked by the service received and my colleague thought I shouldn't leave a tip, but I felt bad and left a tip anyway. I went back into the office and re-read all the positive reviews and could not NOT leave feedback. Yes, the location of the salon is good, prices are fair, but the service/detailedness of the technician I cannot recommend to others. I am disappointed with my experience and will not be returning to Eclair Nail. read more

* this is an update after three weeks of having the nails done. I'm actually a little disappointed at the quality of the nails. I have experienced chip down and broken parts from the second week, which should be unusually for gels. Plus I did not do heavy works with my hands. My previous gel manicures can last for a month without any sign of worn down. Probably should change to another gel brand or the price is certainly too high to be ideal for a at most two weeks gel. read more

I went to get a gel manicure. The nail salon is a hair salon as well. A very strong smell of chemical being applied to hair filled the room. I asked for a face mask. The technician was very kind. My hands weren't soaked in warm water,nor cleaned properly. They were simply filed and painted. The sides are missing polish. I paid $10 to soak off my gel and $40 for the gel manicure. I believe the service was over priced for the quality. I had very long nails, they were filed unevenly and some even shorter. I'm still picking at my cuticles and nails particles. I was looking forward to having a great experience, I work nearby & read many reviews but was disappointed by the service as a whole. read more

Discovering Eclair Nail has changed my life. Not only I no longer need to travel all the way to Flushing to get the flawless designs, but also I am not completely broke when I'm at Eclair Nail. I've been to numerous nail salons in NYC and I wasn't always happy due to the overpriced rates, poor customer service and hygiene, or not getting the designs I showed them. I've already been here twice in one month. Both times, I got unique designs that required attention to details and I was beyond happy. All the nail technicians are professional, skilled and friendly. I have referred 3 of my friends here and they were very pleased after their visit as well. When you walk out, your nails will be on point, just like the ones from your favorite IG page with hundred something likes. I think I found my regular place and will definitely return! read more

Made an appointment earlier today (around 10am- before they were even open!) and was pleasantly surprised with a quick response. They had a slot open for tonight @ 8:30 which I reserved, since I get off work late. Wasn't too hard to find; but keep in mind it's on the 4th fl so you need to look out for the flamingo logo/sign out front. (I believe it was listed on the door of the bldg). Small space shared w/ a hair salon but cute & clean. I just wanted a basic mani/pedi (& it's all I had time for since I had to catch a train to LI an hour later)... but I saw another nail tech busting out some really nice designs! I was in & out within an hour. Prices aren't as astronomical as other spots in midtown that I've been to (literally for the sake of convenience) but they're still a little steep, so be prepared for that. But I don't mind splurging every now & then if I have no time in my schedule & they do a good job. Elizabeth (I believe?) did great and was very friendly. Would recommend read more

This place is questionable as far as quality. I got excellent gel extensions. But my daughters received gel manicures and one of the staff members must have missed a vital step in gel manicures, because it's been 2 days since getting our nails done and almost ALL of her nail polish has come off. And she did not pick at it. My other daughters nails are fine. And when the manager noticed something was off the first time and tried to correct it...I figured she did. But alas, we are on our vacation and her nails look ratchet. Especially since her nails alone costed me $60 smh. Again, my gel extensions are beautiful...but my daughters nail well they are as if we never went to the salon to begin with. Disappointed. read more

I came in last week Tuesday and was initially really happy they could take me right away for gel extensions. Two people did my nails and were flustered while trying to do them?

Added $20 for a coat that would last "3 weeks" and three of my nails peeled off in less than a week. read more

The staff seemed nice enough, the actual application of the polish was decent, but I honestly will not be coming back. I only came there as a last resort cause I knew my normal nail salon wouldn't be able to take me at the time I intended to arrive. The girl who attended to me was polite but not engaging and I felt a tad uncomfortable around her and the rest of the staff cause everyone was super quiet. I don't know if their not used to interacting with their clients but it felts weird just sitting there quietly with them barely engaging though still working. Though they were polite and the nail job they did was ok, I can't say I'll be coming back anytime soon or ever for that matter. I don't know if it was just the technician I had but she didn't quite listen to me when I expressed some concern about something I wanted her to fix. She wasn't necessarily combative but she didn't quite take care of what I needed and tried to dispute what I was saying, and because of that, I just politely told her it was fine when in reality it wasn't. Another matter I'd like to address is the price. Though I could easily afford the price I was charged, that doesn't mean I should be ok with being overcharged for something my regular technician could have done better and while listening to my needs. That being said, nice staff but I won't be coming back. read more
