since my arrival to the upstate area in '07... finding a place to get my mani/pedi has been even more challenging than finding a man up here who reads books and has all of his teeth. LOL... seriously... as a native NYCer, I understand that there are two kinds of options... the 'cheap and great' and the 'fancy & fab'. I split my time between both kinds but let me tell you... finding that place that offers an affordable and quality 'quick and good' mani/pedi north of Westchester isn't easy to find. I'd like to point out that I would NEVER plot a bridal whatever like @Brenda H did at this place. if you want that... stop being cheap and go over to Haven for the perks and champagne. however, for those of us who just wanna get er done under the skilled hands of some lovely stereotypical semi-cool 'asians' with the skills... stop looking... your oasis is here. I started going to Red Hook Nails Plus in '09 and pretty much frequent the spot every time I'm on that side of the river (later today will be another one of those times). when I found out I'd be in Tivoli today for a business meeting, my first thought was... awesome! Nails Plus Mani Pedi will be a MUST before I head back over the Rhinecliff Bridge. I love this place for what it is, and wish there were a few more of them around the HV. NOTE: their waxing situation SUCKS, would give 'that' two stars. read more

I own The Red Hook Inn and generally do not have the time to get away easily for a mani/pedi...however, NAILS PLUS in RHINEBECK owned and operated by LILY and her husband GARY is my chosen respite spot for the absolute BEST pedicure around. The manicure is good but the hands of Gary and Lily together create pure comfort for my overworked legs and hands. The place is convenient to parking, clean and bright. Nothing fancy and not hectic, it doesn't feel like a 'nail factory'. The prices are fair and as marked. The polish choices are many and the courtesy and smiles are plentiful. English is spoken and they know and care for their clients. While there are other nice, small salons such as A NAIL AFFAIR (another favorite) in Red Hook, I make the extra time and effort to go to Lily and Gary whenever possible!

Asked for Dip powder ANC . They did dip powder then gel on top? My nails have chipped and cracked , peeled, lifted. The salon refused a refund or REDO . Ive had my nails done for so long with ANC . They always last 3-4 weeks without chipping or breaking. Which is convenient since i can rarely catch time to get my nails done anymore. Of course i try a new salon because its closer and they do a horrible job and waste my money. NO stars if i could. read more

The pedicures are great here-- really nice foot and leg massage, soothing aloe vera moisturizer-- really relaxing. The choice of nail color is a little limited-- I couldn't find my favorite mauve color-- but I'd rather have a good foot massage anytime. MUCH better than the nail place in the Hudson Valley Mall! Highly recommended. Aiden Nails is the new name of Nails Plus-- it's the same place, same management, I think. read more

This place is probably the worst nail place in the area! Because there is limited choices... Even after having a bad experience the first time with a cocky rude gentlemen ( claims he is the owner) I defied the odds and had no choice I had a wedding the next day! I was told to come back in 1 hour... Ok I go do some errands and come back! I patiently sat for 45 minutes watching to get the look ok we're ready for you.... And I got " giver 2 secs" every 10 minutes.... 1 person was eating, another was tending to her baby( really on a Friday night) after a whole lot of patience.... And them taking people that were getting irrate. I asked again? I got a nasty response can't you see where busy? Hello yes I can but 2 hours is a bit much ! No? They have no consideration of people's time or feelings! read more

Rude owner refused to give my young friend the discounted rate for being under 13, basically accusing her of lying even though she was actually 12. Not okay to mistreat and berate girls who are unable to stand up for themselves. read more

Had nails done on a Sat, 2 Days later they were chipped broken and ruined. Went back to have them repaired, only to be verbally abused, being told that everything was my fault. I was yelled at by the owner and embarrassed in front of others. I could no longer take the abuse and walked out. Bad service. Do not get your nails done by Alex, very unprofessional and rude. read more

Walked in for a quick mani pedi with my daughter. They didnt even say hello we stood there for quite some time finally the rude man up front shoved us over to someone. They did a very bad job, the place felt dirty and the ladies he had in there working seemed over worked and stressed out. I will not go back and I will be sure that everyone I know in town knows how i feel. Please spare yourself, by the time we left we had spent close to $100.00 so that was a slap in the face. Prices listed are not true! read more

I received a fabulous pedicure from Sandra...perfectly executed,painless and diligently attended...highly recommend!

i just went there two days ago never in my life have i had to pay 3.00 for each nail design thats a bit much i also paid 40.00 for just a normal acrilic nails which i guess isnt too pricey but i have def paid less for great work! the people there are horrible while i was getting my nails done the man woman and other girl was talking bout how he got drunk and got kicked out of a resturant and how they was going to go party that night(it was on a saturday).. the man was very rough on my hands and told me to loosen up a bit well if he didnt hurt my fingers maybe i would of! then he got up and left me sitting there half way thru my nails to go do some other girls nails.. how rude is that?!! i WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE AGAIN!!! the only good part that i can say bout this place is they use a very warm cloth on ur hands which is very relaxing. i will now go to nail affair in red hook on tabacco lane havent been there yet but ive heard amazing reviews so im looking forward to going there for my next nails.. i ususally go to kingston but i want to keep the money in my own community but this place will never get another dime from me again they need new management! read more
