    Worst gel manicure ever. 1 star for the sweet technician named Cici, but she should not be doing nails. Photos are from 1 hour post leaving this place. The top coat also didn't dry well and feels sticky. Not good at all. I have to spend money somewhere else to re-do.

    Got an appointment for a gel mani and pedi before a wedding through ClassPass- great spot! Wonderful attention to detail and they work so fast! Would definitely return in the future.

    Very good experience! White for summer ^^ can last for at least 2 weeks! Cici helped me for color choosing. She's so patient and nicely prepared!! Will come back again definitely

    This business is now Young Nails. I preface this by saying that most reviews are subjective to bad experiences... but this was a particularly notable one: I had an appointment for gel mani. They had an influx of walk ins and one customer after me had picked the same gel nail color. My manicurist said in Chinese to her coworker that she would "quickly get this job done" referring to me. She then explained in english to me that she would clean my cuticles AFTER applying polish. After rushing through two coats it was clear that the color was more transparent that expected and she should have put on a third coat. She did not and applied the top gel coat to complete my manicure. Then handed off the bottle to the customer who did not look like was in a rush whatsoever. As I was drying my pedi I saw the customer leaving and asked how many coats... she said "three." I then went back to my manicurist and explained my disappointment and frustration with the job. She said she could apply a third coat no problem. So I let her. Over the next three days, my nails started turning from a dark burgundy to a slime green... I looked online to figure out what was it because I did not use any cleaning agents or tanning oils. It came down to either they used poor gel nail polish, over exposure to the UV light or discoloration of the top coat. Either way, this to me clearly indicated the lack of quality products and oversight with their customers. This is a salon that would rather cut corners to get a job done faster and it did not go unnoticed. Don't come.

    I'm really happy with how my nails turned out. I had an SNS manicure which cost $47. They have a very limited number of SNS colours (maybe 15 max). The colour I chose looked quite different on my nails than on the sample but I loved it regardless. My only gripe is that the woman going my nails was quite aggressive with her filing. She was filing over the skin above my nail which hurt a lot and I had to tell her to not file on the skin. On one finger the area was tender for two days and even looked like I had paper cuts on it. I'll come back but maybe ask for a different lady.

    Moved into the neighborhood about nine months ago and this was my go to spot. Three weeks ago I actually got what was on of the best manicures of my life. Then tonight happened. I went in around 6:30PM to get just a regular gel manicure. They were busy but I was seated right away. I then had CiCi as my technician. It was horrible. She was so nice but so distracted by the other people waiting and people that had appointments. She completely RUSHED my manicure and it looks so incredibly sloppy. I am going to need to get them redone some place else as I simply cannot have these embarrassing nails going into work tomorrow. I pointed the sloppiness at the end of the manicure and she just didn't do a thing about it. She wasn't even going to clean up the paint on my cuticles and she filed my nails so unevenly. She attempted to use the cuticle cutter to cut around the nail polish - I was baffled! My nails are so tacky and it's been an hour since the manicure - and for gel!! I mentioned the tackiness at the end and she fought me saying they are dry! But when she swiped the nail with paper towel some of the polish came off. So odd. Also, she seemed to be the managing technician so I'm surprised she is so awful at her trade. The attached pictures are my cleaned up manicure before she literally just got up to go to the next person. To note: all my other mani and pedis have been wonderful here. I usually go first thing in the morning. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it as they are more awake and take more time with you.

    Always very clean. The staff is friendly. They have a dish of Starburst at the register and nothing is better than a great pedicure with some delicious Starburst. I have been here more than 10x since they opened and it has always been a pleasant experience and I have always walked away with a great pedicure.

    This is my go to nail salon on the UES! I usually get cat eye and they do such a good job with the…read moreshape and shimmer. The polish lasts a really long time; these are my nails almost 3 weeks later. They also waive the credit card fee if you pay in cash, so definitely do the cash option if you can!

    I love Miki! I am so happy she opened another location, as it is closer to work and home for me (…read moreeven though I'm willing to take two trains and travel an hour to get my nails done by her). When I started getting my nails done, they were always short and so brittle that they would never grow, and my cuticles were terrible. As I got bored with the single color, I asked for an ombre at a random chop shop one day, which was a BIG mistake. Please see the first two pictures. I thought to myself that I might not be able to find someone to do nail designs until I saw my best friend's nails and was introduced to Miki. After going to Miki, my nails became so strong and long, and people are always surprised when I tell them they are my natural nails, with no extensions or anything over them. Miki brought all my nail design visions to life. My question wasn't if she could do it but which five nail designs I wanted to pick that day. She did my nails for my engagement, bridal, wedding, and baby shower, and I would not trust anyone else to do it for all my special occasions. I highly recommend her and trust me; you will not be disappointed.
