Just had the worst nail experience of my life with Veronika. She filed down my natural nail so much so that she cut my finger open and it was bleeding. They initially suggested just putting gel over it but I did not want to get chemical burn. I had to chop all my nails off and I am getting married in 2 months so I am livid. They did not seem to care and still would charge me an extra $30 to get a clear coat. The manger was not helpful. Do not waste your money or ruin your nails here.

FIRSY VISIT - Amazing experience! I had a very intentional design in mind and the artist and manager collaborated with me on something very special. (That manicure lasted me almost six weeks and still looked really great!) SECOND VISIT - The next experience was just as great as the first. A more straightforward design, Nigina made some great suggestions and did really beautiful work - she's also just a very sweet person. Felt very comfortable working with her! Already looking forward to my next visit!

They never provided a resolution (refund, etc.). Then about two weeks later I received an email from the owner saying the nail technician was fired! Horrible customer service.

Every single time I come here, it is like a little treat for my whole body. The people are nice and attentive, everyone is always so kind and wants to help, and the space is small so it has a "boutique" vibe. It's honestly perfect! Nails in the picture were done by Alice on 6/30

Cuticle work drew blood (this happened on two fingers)

I was in NYC for a wedding and this place had great reviews so I decided to chance it. Booking a reservation was easy enough and I was able to get one for midday Friday booking just a few days out. The pros: - Simple online booking - Clean space, friendly receptionist - Lots of colors to choose from - Charger and stand for your phone Unfortunately, the quality of my manicure did not justify the price. My tech (Olesia) was super rough on my cuticles and made me bleed a couple times (see photos). On a couple nails, the apex of the gel was not applied properly so it looks like I have concave hooks on my nails (my normal nail beds are certainly not shaped that way). In the end my appointment finished about 15-20 minutes earlier than the scheduled 100 minutes they told me to plan for... so I definitely feel like my tech rushed through it. I looked around at other techs and they seemed to be going through with much more precision, so maybe it was just bad luck for me but unfortunately it seems others have had the same experience based on recent reviews. I did get an automated text asking for feedback, which I shared (including photos). Unfortunately never received a response.

Extremely disappointed with the treatment and service and work on my nails. Two hour was spent on nothing to over charge me on extensions that was discussed it was going to be done for free. Those nails were broken before even making 2 weeks. Not only that but the push back on everything I was asking for down to the shapes of my nails was ridiculous. I been coming to Russian for over 6 months and I've never experience this. I came in 7 minutes later than my schedule appointment but Nazira started 10 minutes after I came. Which means she wasn't going to be available to start her session with at the time I was scheduled. It felt like because of how late it was I was being rushed to a questionable service. I also felt uncomfortable when they switched over to speaking in their language to discussed what I needed but nothing was resolved. I should be refunded the extension amount because it wasn't my fault but in addition to that service was very lacking. The inconsistent of the shape is also very disappointing. This place gives this energy of being prestige but the work was very amateur.

Lola is phenomenal! The entire experience is amazing from start to finish. My nails were so banged up when I came in, and I left with beautiful healthy nails!!!

Staff was great, my nail tech was wonderful, and my manicure was amazing. First time where I don't complain about how ugly my nails are, everything about them were perfect. Definitely on the pricey side and lasted a total of 3 weeks for me.

Love love love this salon!!! So happy this location has opened, right down the street from my office. I've been twice so far with two different nail techs and my experience was great each time. The attention to detail and care of my cuticles is what I loved the most. Most recently Jessica did my gel manicure and it was great. I've already scheduled my next two appointments and can't wait to be back.

Absolutely perfect job every time. The space is clean and relaxing, everyone is polite, and my nails have never been healthier & longer since starting to come here a couple months ago. The manicure lasts 3-4 weeks and NEVER chips. If you've been wanting to try a russian manicure and are hesitant, this spot is the way to go.

Flower nails for spring!

I never regretted going to Summer Nail Studio for my nail design this winter. It stayed so long and…read moreI had a good time with my nail tech.

I came here few times and to be honest it's just a convenient spot for me to get my nails done, the…read morequality of gel manicure is not as great since the price is not high and they are kind of rushing customers out, thats why every single time I have to come back to fix because how it could be good quality for 45 min gel manicure, for sure they expected you come back more often compared to $45 gel manicure. The owner should be smarter to make sure to train employees to have good skills that customers satisfy for few weeks instead of cheap price and poor skills just to get quantity, it's such a waste of time to come back and forth fixing nails, spending few minutes fixing 1 nail, few days after the others are bad. Whoever runs business and says come back to fix for free which means they are not confident about their quality. They created a quiet ambiance with soothing music background since their technicians could not communicate well, sometimes it's kinda annoying when you ask them to explain something, ending up with attitude and rudeness. I agree to quietness and calmness but customer service industry means communication, we could get the nails done anywhere but we don't want to sit and be silent a whole time. Moreover the job is not done right, it's even more stressful.

Had such a nice experience here! It was easy to request an appointment and they are very responsive…read morevia email. As a note, their website allows you to request a service but you need to contact them directly to book the appointment itself. The spa is gorgeous, clean, and very zen. All the staff I came across were hospitable. My massage therapist Eri was sweet, strong, and definitely knows what she is doing. I got an 80 minute deep tissue massage. She gave me some advice after the massage for ways to strengthen and loosen up certain muscles. They have products available for purchase. Not sure about showers or a locker room.

This place has really inconsistent quality. I've been here four or five times, and the first visit…read morewas amazing. The gel stayed on, didn't chip, and I was honestly impressed, so I kept going back. The second time was fine too. On my third visit, they scheduled me with a junior technician and my nails chipped within three days. I was traveling, and by the time I got back to New York, they told me their one-week guarantee had expired and I'd need a new appointment, which was frustrating. Twelve days ago, I went in again and got a Japanese gel manicure. Today, on day thirteen, six nails lifted and the gel peeled off completely. I'm going to cancel my upcoming appointment and try a Russian manicure elsewhere. For almost a hundred dollars with tip and tax, the quality just isn't there.
