    I love this place! I have been coming here since I moved to Manhattan and it's perfect for me! No frills but clean and the staff is very friendly. They are always patient and assist when I'm indecisive about choosing a color. The regular polish is mostly OPI and Essie. I have pretty much had everyone who works there do my nails. As someone else mentioned, the older ladies are the best. Lydia and Linda are my favorite. Prices can't be beat. $20.99 for a mani pedi, $30 for gel manicure, $17 for pedicure, $32 mani pedi and 10 min massage. I just went for a gel mani, pedicure + callus removal and it was amazing. Lydia took her time and spent almost 1.5 hours on my nails. She meticulously cut, filed, and painted each finger. She was so patient, especially when I accidentally ruined a toe walking over to the manicure chair. I never feel rushed here and my gel nails usually last 2-3 weeks (I also work with my hands everyday). If you are going to become a regular, make sure you get their customer loyalty card. It's free to get and your 11th manicure is free. Definitely hit this place up if you are looking for clean, affordable, and friendly service! I highly recommend it!

    Beautiful manicure!

    I was walking around the upper west side and happily stumbled upon this place! I saw a sign that said mani/pedi $19 and couldn't really believe it! I decided to check it out upstairs, upon walking in everyone was very friendly and attentive. I double checked the price on the sign and confirmed with them that they always have this deal! Great price for the area! I actually had just had shoulder surgery So my arm is in a sling... They were so concerned for me and helped me to feel very comfortable during my time there. The mani/pedi was about 45 minutes (+ dry time), nothing added that was overly special. The cosmetician did do a short foot and hand massage with the services. During the course of my pedicure I made sure that the cosmetician worked on an area that was really hurting me. She made sure to go over it a few times and asked me if it was feeling better by the end. I was really impressed with her service as I've been to numerous places where they don't listen to any of your requests! Upon leaving I had 3 different ladies helping me get my things together since I lacked one arm! They were very sweet and helpful. I offered them each an extra tip and they refused to take it which I have never ever seen before! This spa does offer other services like threading, waxing, and massages (chair and full body).

    Pedi stations and comfy couch for pals to wait for you (no wait for walk in on Thursday afternoon). Color selection in right.

    Can't beat the Essie color selection nor prices here. I've been to other UWS nail salons and this is my favorite for many reasons. No frills, but clean and Walk-ins welcome; I'll be back! Niru did a really nice job

    The absolute WORST gel manicure I've ever gotten. After seeing how horrible it was they still made me pay full price for it. Never coming back here again and absolutely do not recommend.

    Emma Nails is wonderful. Customers are treated with so much care. The salon is always clean and you will get a high quality mani for more affordable than anywhere else in the neighborhood. I highly recommend.

    Pretty big for what the outside looks like

    I highly recommend Miss Bliss for superior quality and service!…read more I was in NY for work and desperately needed to get my nails done before a trade show. I found Miss Bliss on Yelp as a business open Sunday evening and walked in around 5 (they close at 7). All the seats were full and 2 girls already waiting, so they advised the wait would be an hour bc of this existing appointments. No problem for me since I thought this was still plenty of time to get in before closing. They were able to seat me around 5:45. I requested Gel-x (my first time but also my nails were pretty short and damaged from my picking off the last gel as it grew out). Jenny began meticulously working on cleaning my cuticles and sizing me up for the tips. I don't know what they look for, but she definitely worked through the different size options, and even re-applied one of the tips bc she noticed something was off. Honestly, I don't think I have have noticed but I do appreciate her attention to detail, she obviously cares about her craft. So 7 pm rolls around, the 3 other customers that were still there and had wrapped up their nail sessions. Julie, the other nail tech offers to finish up my polish design to let Jenny go home to her kids. I'm definitely feeling bad for keeping them past closing, and I am secretly hoping they rush through the polish so they can leave. NOPE! Julie takes her time on my design, and finishes up with a nice neck and hand massage, warm towel, and we all finally close up at 830. I am super grateful they continued to dedicate time to my service, while not sacrificing quality. Left a fat tip since I know Jenny and Julie will be splitting. Looking forward to coming back here on a future NY trip! Next time I will make an appointment though

    my rating is between 3.5 and 4…read more i called ahead to see if they had any availability, and since they had pretty good ratings on google and yelp, i decided to go for it. my nails were getting way too long anyways. it was a very typical nail salon, the exact kind you would imagine when you think of one. she didn't ask what length i wanted and just went straight for the cut. by the time it came to filing, my nails ended up super short, and i am definitely a longer nail kind of girl. i'm not sure if she simply forgot to ask, but i'd like to think she was looking out for me and knew my nails would chip if they were kept too long. i went for a regular gel manicure since i told myself my nails need a break after this. when she was done, she gave me a shoulder massage, but it was very brief (shorter than the typical massages you get at nail appointments) and only on one shoulder, which felt a little odd. upon leaving, i immediately noticed a flaw on my left thumb. there were visibly tiny bumps, and once i noticed them, they kept bothering me. my conclusion: always go to the nail salon you trust, and that is exactly what i should've done.

    I visited this place twice. The first time, I received a gel X extension. However, when I returned…read moreto have it removed, the technician didn't know how to properly take it off. As a result, my nail was damaged during the process. It's crucial to remove gel X correctly to prevent damage, and I don't understand how they can offer this service without knowing how to remove it properly. They also didn't even try to provide a discount due to the damage, which reflects awful customer service

    I had a very disappointing experience at this salon…read more When I called to book an appointment, I clearly explained that I already had hard gel on my nails and asked how much it would cost to remove it and get a new gel manicure. They told me $70.20, and no one mentioned that the price could be higher. During the appointment, it became clear that they didn't know how to remove my previous gel properly. It wasn't a "different type of gel" -- they just didn't know how to do it correctly. Instead of properly filing it off with the machine, they only removed the color layer. Then they wrapped my nails in foil and left me sitting there while the nail technician did a full pedicure for another client, without saying a word to me. I was just waiting the entire time. When she finally came back, she seemed surprised that the gel was still there -- and only then started removing it with the machine. She never explained anything to me, and I felt very uncomfortable because they were clearly experimenting on my nails. In any professional salon, hard gel is removed completely with a machine -- not like this. At the end, they told me the total was $164. I was shocked. They said it was because of a "different gel" and a "different service," which wasn't true -- I had told them in advance that it was hard gel. If they had informed me that the price would be higher, I would have decided whether to continue or not. When I calmly explained that no one mentioned this, they refused to listen. Then, when I asked to speak with the employer (the boss/owner) who wasn't there at the time, she got on the phone and spoke very rudely, claiming the nail master had told me about the higher cost -- which was a complete lie. The worst part is that they both started threatening to call the cops, even though I was polite and honest the entire time. I ended up paying with my foreign card, using my last money, but the way they treated me was absolutely unacceptable. While I was talking to the employer, the nail master stood there chewing gum and didn't even look at me. It was clear they were covering for each other. She never told me about any extra charge. I left the salon very upset and disappointed. I believe honesty, professionalism, and communication are the most important parts of good service -- unfortunately, I didn't experience any of that here. How can professional staff, instead of listening or offering any solution, threaten me by saying, "We will call the cops! We will call the cops!!!"? I've been doing my nails regularly for five years, and I've never had such awful quality and service. They didn't know how to remove the gel properly and then put all their mistakes, my waiting time, and the extra costs on me and my pocket. To make things worse, the final work was low quality -- on my pinky finger, they added Gel-X and didn't even file or shorten it. It's longer than my other nails and hurts
