So, I am kind of a high main't bish from Los Angeles. I needed my ding dang toenails cut, and I am PARTICULAR about who I let touch my tootsies! (My bewbs get in the way for me to do it myself, don't ask!) Sami has a great site, and a contact for if that doesn't work! Msg'd her and she is the funniest, funnest, nail tech I've ever had the pleasure of paying! Truly "simply flawless" and her sense of self is sooo nice! Not to mention her studio is adorbs, her amenities? Beautiful! Got too absorbed to take pics, but trust, you like a sassy broad w skills to boot? Sami is your girl!! read more

Great service !! Probably the best place ever gotten my nails done! The vibe is amazing and relaxing for sure !

Sami is just stellar at what she does, and she makes stopping by such a pleasure, even more so than a manicure generally is. She's funny, detail oriented, and down to earth. Every time I swing by, I know I'll leave a little lighter and with flawless nails, even if my nails are on the shorter end. She's always booked in advance because her craft is in high demand. I'm thankful I found her during my time in New Haven, and I won't go anywhere else until I leave. Definitely reach out for a flawless mani and pedi, among many of her other services like waxing. read more

Sami is awesome. I have been getting mani pedi services with her for years. I have yet to be disappointed in any way. Extremely detail oriented, beautiful designs, clean space, latest styles and materials. Much better than way more expensive places in larger cities. read more

THE ONLY PERSON TO DO YOUR NAILS IS this amazing woman right here! You might as well change your name to Beyonce because you will leave her salon looking and feeling FLAWLESS. I have been a nail biter for going on 30 years... I didn't think I would ever be able to quit biting my nails, but then I met Sami and she changed my life. For 4 years she has made me feel proud to show my hands in public. My nails always look amazing. I'm plain so I like simple colors but her nail art is gorgeous if that is your style. Her salon is bright, clean and welcoming. Honestly she is more than my mancurist, she is a dear friend. Treat yourself to one of her many services and you will leave feeling like a million bucks! read more

This nail place is clean, cute, and professional. I reached out to Sami last minute for a gel manicure. She was so generous with her time and was able to squeeze me the next day. When people add me to their schedules last minute, my nails are almost always rushed and the work can by sloppy. Sami gave my nails her best attention. I am definitely going to become a regular. (For any Yale students reading this, this shop is a really short walk from Koffee?) read more

I came to Sami for the first time for a Brazilian after the previous person in the area I using moved to a different location. I wish I came to her sooner! Sami did such a great job and her prices were so reasonable! I was somewhat new to the bikini waxing thing, so when my previous waxer was doing a decent job, I didn't really know any better. Sami did such a better job, and well... she was may more "thorough" in making sure no stray hairs were left behind. You can tell she really takes pride in her work and her business, and she seems like such a sweet person. Her schedule can be a little tight if you don't book ahead, but hey... she's worth it! I guess if she's busy, that means she's popular, and...hey, that's a good thing right? Thank you again Sami! read more

I have been coming to Sami for 3 years now for both mani and pedi. So glad I found her through Yelp! Sami is the best nail tech around New Haven area imho. She is easy going, has a great personality, professional, very creative and my nails always look FLAWLESS after she's done (see pictures). It's a 1 person shop yet she tries to be flexible and accommodating. Highly recommend Sami for all your nail/waxing/make up needs! read more

Sami is an angel! She is consistently excellent and accommodating. I come from Miami and it is incredibly hard to find good quality. She is not only one of the best nail techs I've had, through and through, but she is also a great human that you'll enjoy spending time with. This one woman show is a gift to New Haven. See pictures below! read more

Sami is a brow-gician!! Take my 5 stars and multiply it by 2...She is simply flawless. Always a pleasure to relax and allow myself to be cared for. BEST GEL MANIS hands down, they last 3weeks no chips no cracks. I used to drive over 70miles to NY to get my brows done until I met Sami and it was love at first wax. Now i'll be travelling from Shelton to New Haven OR i'll grow a unibrow before letting anyone except Sami touch my brows. She is totally worth it. She is AMAZING!! read more

I have gone to Sami many, many times - I think she gives the best manicure available in the New Haven area - probably in the state! She's amazing. Her work has never been short of perfect. She did my nails for my wedding and helped pick the perfect color, and she is just so careful that it's always flawless. She is also a lot of fun to chat with throughout. Highly recommend! read more

Sami is the absolute best! I started seeing Sami at the beginning of law school and still come back from MANHATTAN to see her. She's THAT good. Ive been to loads of places in New York and other big cities and none compare. She's the best at what she does, hands down. Her place is super cute, cozy, and private, and it's in a great location in New Haven. Sami's also very friendly and easy to talk to. She's a fast friend and always will go the extra mile to fit you in and make your day better. Truly no one compares and there's no one else I trust more with my nails or waxes. Her name is accurate--she's simply flawless! read more

I can't say enough good things about Sami! I made an initial appointment with her to get my eyebrows waxed, and she did an amazing job. I have since gotten two gel manicures from her and they are hands down the BEST manicures I have ever had. She creates very cute designs, and the best part is that they last for close to a month. Thanks, Sami! read more

I had a tremendous time with Sami. Sweet, empowered entrepreneur. Funny as hell. And my nails look incredible!! Flawless indeed. I got a spa pedi and a gel mani and I couldn't be happier with the way they turned out, or the laughs that I had with her. Go, get your nails done. Make a new friend. read more

I'm VERY pleased with Sami's work. She is a perfectionist and takes great pride in her work. She does not do artificial nails, so if your ghetto fabulous with long artificial nails this is NOT the salon for you. She uses the whole CND line from the undercoat to the UV lights. She is a CND expert and very interested in the CND line. She has a beautiful shoppe that lets you forget that your in New Haven's hustle and bustle. I suggest you park at the 360 Market. They validate for an hour. She does excellent work and she is very personable. She welcomed me in when my nails were brutally bitten and after a 5 star rated salon in NYC's upper East Side filed my natural nails down to unhealthy. May God continue to bless her shop:} read more

Simply Flawless by Sami - Sami's has such a lovely studio salon and she takes great pride in her work:} - Makeup Artists Near Me - New Haven, Connecticut

Have been coming to Sami since 2014 and would follow her anywhere - she's the BEST. Within minutes you feel like you've known her forever and she really takes the time to make sure you look and feel perfect. Her gel manis last me up to 3 weeks with zero chipping and her nail art is amazing. So happy to have found this gem in New Haven! read more

As the name suggests, my pedi was FLAWLESS. FLAWLESS. One of the best pedicures I've had in years, if not THE best. Sami spent over an hour with me. She was meticulous and detail-oriented. Her work is truly perfect. I really doubt there is a better pedicure in New Haven. Sami is also a kind person, and very accomodating. Will be coming back MANY times, and recommending Sami to ALL of my friends. ***If you are looking for a pedicure/manicure in the New Haven area, book one with SAMI!*** Overall, can NOT say enough fabulous things. 11/10 recommend. Truly... flawless!! read more

Sami is great! I am so glad I found her! I frequently try out different salons to get my nails done, and I am usually disappointed for one reason or another (cleanliness, prices, paint job etc.) but not this time. Not only is she super talented in her work, but she is also so personable that you immediately feel like you've known her for years. This is undoubtedly the best place in New Haven to get your nails done. I will definitely go back to her and will recommend her to all of my friends. read more

After a terrible experience at a different salon, I found Sami's website online and randomly texted her on a whim in hopes she could squeeze me in last minute to fix my nails before my maternity photo shoot. Sami answered my text right away, she was friendly and accommodating even though she didn't know me! She scheduled me for a Sunday (her day off) JUST to help me out! My appointment- I was greeted with a hug and open arms! Talking to Sami is like talking to your bestie! And can we talk about her skills! Perfection, flawless, beautiful, artistic.... just a few words that immediately come to mind!! Don't miss out, Sami is the best all around!! read more

Truly - as good as it gets! I've never had a better manicure (and I've had PLENTY to compare to). Top notch products, skills and service. There's no one better in the region, or beyond. read more

Sami is a magician! I am absolutely in love with my gel nails. She is fun, professional, and incredibly talented. Her studio is warm and inviting and has an overall great vibe. She is a smart, funny and strong woman and besides doing a great manicure, she makes you feel like a million bucks! Treat yourself and go see her, you will be hooked like I am!!! read more

Not hygienic - I was grossed out to see that the tools used on the customer before me were simply dumped into a huge jar of blue liquid and then used on me. Many people develop infectious from nail salons, and using proper sterilizing technique (via UV light or autoclave) is a must to keep from potentially landing in a doctor's office or hospital. --Addendum-- While flipping through in search of a nail salon open after work, I noticed a reviewer claiming to be a physician who wrote that it is "ridiculous" to comment on concerns over hygiene. Having worked as a primary care physician for the last 5 years, I'm amazed that someone who claims to be a physician would attempt to ridicule my comment. The number of abscesses I've lanced from manicures and pedicures using improperly cleaned tools, and the case of someone hospitalized in the intensive care unit for weeks after an infection from a manicure spread to her bloodstream and infected her heart valve are the things I've personally seen in only 5 years of practice. Please learn to be a little more respectful of other people's comments. read more

Sami is one of the best nail artists in town! She lives by her name, flawless, and the gel manicures are A+. I'm practically destroying my manicure with moving, and riding my moped, but my nails still look amazing because of her. Thanks Sami! I will be coming back, you're awesome! read more

Sami gave me a shellac manicure right before my wedding and it was wonderful! Lasted the whole week of the wedding and even our 2 week honeymoon!! Wasn't even chipped when I soaked them off 3 weeks later. Love! read more

Sami is such a great person. She is upbeat, kind and overall professional. She responds very quickly when you contact her.

Sami is great. She is so nice and did a wonderful job with my shellac manicure and eyebrows. She has all the latest colors and is very easy to get in contact with and replies very quickly. She found herself a new repeat customer. read more

I've been to Sami a couple of times for weddings and she is amazing. She takes her time and your nails look fantastic when she is done. She'll suggest colors if you just aren't sure. She is friendly and will have a conversation with you while doing your nails. None of that awkward silence. You'll need to schedule an appointment but she is super easy to contact and schedule with. She runs the groupon and living social deals from time to time but even without a deal she is worth going to! read more

Sami is wonderful. I had my nails done (shellac mani) right after I got engaged and received just as many compliments on my nails as my ring! I am pretty picky when it comes to my nails, especially with shellac since it will be on for so long. I truly appreciate how precise and detail oriented Sami is. Her space is beautiful and she has such a wonderful energy. I also loved that I was able to text her for an appointment. Now that I've found Simply Flawless, I won't be going anywhere else for my nails. read more

Thank you for your response. Service rendered or not it is important to understand availability as a part of services.

Sami was trained as an artist -- literally a painter -- which explains why her work on nails is so above and beyond! Sami's nails are exactly as described -- I had the BEST gel manis from her of my life. They lasted twice as long as anyone else's, at least. Well worth it! read more

Sami is absolutely dynamic. Not only is she insanely talented at her work but she is a kind-hearted, compassionate, hard-working person. She has been doing my manicures/pedicures/waxing for nearly 2 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. Her attention to detail is superb; she takes a whole hour to perfect your manicure because she truly cares! :) Moreover, there have been several times that I've chipped my nails before I was due for a shellac and she's managed to fit me into her packed schedule (read: she is quite popular, for good reason!) and fixed me right up. She uses the best products (CND shellac, CND vinylux, hard/soft wax) and keeps her colors in constant rotation. With advance notice (it takes her an extra 15 minutes) she will gladly put designs on your nails and/or hook you up with a fierce glamour nail. She did so for my engagement photos, wedding, and birthday. For my wedding party, she allowed me to book her studio for 7 hours and my bridesmaids and I had a blast! We bonded over mimosas while Sami was diligently at work crafting phenomenal nail creations that got just as many compliments as our respective wedding/bridesmaid dresses. I noticed below there was a comment that questioned her techniques being hygienic - as a physician I find that absolutely ridiculous and unnecessarily critical! I have been regularly seeing Sami (every 10-14 days) for nearly two years and have never had an issue/infection/problem of that nature. She is meticulously clean/sterile and keeps her salon organized. TL;DR - I stand behind her work! She has a good heart, pours her soul into her flawless work, and will not disappoint! She is SPECTACULAR! read more

I have been going to Sami for the past 23 years and she had been nothing short of amazing!!!!! She is clearly my sista friend. Keep up the good work my friend read more

To begin with, I have had manicures and pedicures literally all over the world.. Sami is the very best there is. No question about it. I really could go on and on....let's just start with those ridges some women get on their nails. You could go to all the quickie nail salons you want, and you will still have them. Not with Sami. How about the smoothest feet on the planet. She is talented, professional, and a lovely person too. Makeup....Sami did my makeup for my wedding. I had hired a fancy schamcy makeup artist from Westport. It was awful and Sami came to my rescue. She understands women's skin and makeup needs of all ages. I am "a woman of a certain age", but she also did my daughter's wedding. She was fresh and beautfiul. Just go to her once, just once and you too will be spoiled. P.S. Salon Lulu no so much. Sami simply rents space there. read more

I've since gone to a few other nail salons (even supposed "fancy" hotel spas) and it only proved that Sami is in fact the best around. I've never had a manicure better than hers! She treats it as an art, and her results prove her skill. read more

Love, love, love Sami! As the name suggests, my experience was simply flawless. My nails look great and it was a very positive experience. I was greeted, based on a single telephone call when I made the appointment, like a lifelong friend. Sami is fun, personable, and talented. When we spoke, Sami encouraged me to bring my own implements if it put my mind at ease. I did, but I can assure you it absolutely wasn't necessary. I am very reluctant to visit nail salons, due to all of the horror stories I have heard, but can't wait to go back here. She plays great tunes and it felt more like a girls night than a manicure appointment. I will definitely recommend her when I receive compliments on my nails, and I am certain I will get many. ***Addendum*** Today is Day 23 of my manicure and the polish is finally going to come off because my nails have grown and I need to remove it. The polish literally looks like my manicure was done yesterday. read more

I have been coming to Sami for over two years now, I love the ambience it feels like an oasis in my full life. Sammy is personable, bubbly and enjoyable. She is very meticulous and thorough. I have had her do manicures, pedicures, hair removal and make up; always fantastic and flawless! I highly recommend her. read more

Sami is "Simply" the best! Needs no further explanation. Not only is Sami meticulous and a talented artist, but she has become a great friend. read more

I was visiting New Haven and my daughter suggested this place for a pedicure.. I'm always a bit nervous trying a place away from home but it was perfect. The salon was very clean. The soak was in a large copper basin so I was not worried about any problems that you might find with the more traditional tubs. It is a one person business so an appointment is needed. Sami was quite comfortable to talk with and gave a terrific pedicure. My feet were very smooth and the polish was applied perfectly. It was a very relaxing session. I was going to get a brow wax too but she recommended against it (my brows are fairly sparse). Instead she filled them in for me with a brow pencil so I could see how it should be done. I would definitely come back here for a pedicure again. read more

Sami is the BEST! Better than any manicure I've ever had in Boston even. She is precise & gives great advice on color options if you aren't sure what you want. She listens about concerns you might have and gives helpful suggestions. Her work is outstanding! read more
