Love this salon!! They moved to 136 Church St, pls note! They do an amazing job with lots of attention to detail for nails and pedicure, and tried a fun new pastel color manicure for me, only $10 extra. Jenny did my nails and was wonderful! read more

I cannot stress enough DO NOT COME HERE! after two months, my nails are finally almost grown out from the damage this place has caused with around a month of PAIN in aggravated nerves under my nails from the technician who aggressively ran an e-file over my nails. Ive had to pause coloring my nails for two months to help my nails grow back. read more

Great local spot! Has newly become my favorite. Although the space is more quaint they have a great gel and SNS powder dip selection. Really great if you want those specialty nails. One nail chipped the day after I got them done and I came in for a free redo of the whole nail. Very professional, focused and kind. Will definitely be back. And I love my color (always get compliments on them) My only real criticism is the edges are a little messy (but my nails were short) read more

Don't waste your time or money here!!!!!!!! I came here less than a week ago, exactly 5 days ago and 2 nails have already broken off. These weak nails were not worth the $120 I paid!!! Not only did they do a horrible job, I spent more than 4 hours in their salon waiting for them to finish attending me because they kept taking other customers before me even though I called ahead to make an appointment! This place is horrible, look else where! I'll be advising all my friends to do the same. Btw Susan was the person who took care of me, and she was the only person in the salon who knew how to do this nail set according to her so the whole salon must be full of bad nail techs read more

Jane is the best! I have been coming here once a month for a year for a powder manicure and regular pedicure ($56 as of today). They have excellent prices, great service and are the best at listening to your preferences. I like an odd shaped nail and have extremely thin nails and they never ever complain, which is huge for nail salons! If I ever move this will be one of the staples I will miss. Definitely try them out! read more

I went here for SNS powder mani and regular pedicure. Pedicure was good but if you have Callus you might have to upgrade because the tech didn't really scrub deep enough. SNS (color 46) was done by Nancy! She did a great job! read more

I owe Susan an updated review: I still think this place is absolutely hit or miss, depending on the nail technician, but I have serious loyalty and respect for Jane. She's so professional, kind & damn good at her job. Massage & NexGen powder gel with a pedicure here with her makes me very happy. read more

Susan Nail & Spa - NexGen powder gel - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

1st visit was good. 2nd visit wasn't. After a hour post manicure, the polish has already chipped off from most fingers as am going about using my hands in day to day stuff. Most likely because the 2nd coat didn't dry before the 3rd coat was applied. Such a pain, after spending $ ad time, looks like I will have to take it all off and apply polish myself at home. The massage was also slipped in before I could realize it was an additional $10. Be careful of upselling. read more

Susan Nail & Spa - 1 hour post manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Not very happy. Waited 20 min to just see a swatch for my gel manicure. Made an appointment too & still had to wait. Very disappointed. Seems they overbook themselves... I got a gel manicure which unfortunately hasn't held up well. The color doesn't look good in the light because it's streaky & the gel is rubbing off a few of my fingers, like regular nail polish. At the end of my service I tipped the last nail technician who worked on me. I didn't ask for two technicians, even though two techs did my nails. I know the little games they play... They expected me to tip them both. Ah...NO. Not my problem. Split that $#!+. Puh-lease... Negative. read more

I only trust Susan Nail & Spa to do my powder gel manicures. Everywhere else I have gone (in the city and elsewhere) have completely messed it up or just been no where near as good as here. I took away a star because the pedicures don't seem to last very long and sometimes the back massages are less than great, but other than that I love Susan! I almost didn't want to write this because I don't want to give away the secret! read more

Susan Nail & Spa is a great place to get your nails done in the village. I've come here twice, and both times I have left with a beautifully done manicure. This time Jason did an amazing job with my dip powder manicure. I'm a bit picky about having my nails filed perfectly square and most people don't listen so I end up leaving with a semi-round shape. But not with Jason! He was attentive, gentle and did my nails exactly how I wanted. Will definitely be coming back here! read more

Susan Nail & Spa - Dipping powder manicure in #46 - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

This is a pretty good nail salon, at a very reasonable price. Came to get a gel manicure, there was no wait and they had a huge selection of colors. It's been a couple of weeks since and the gel has held its shared of the bargain! read more

This has become my current go-to for mani/pedis. It's not much to look at and you will question the cleanliness on your first visit but it's actually very clean, just a bit run-down. For pedicures they use disposable liners for the bin where your feet soak, which seems a lot more sanitary that that quick rub-down they give the basin between customers at other salons. I usually get a gel or powder gel manicure, and they last up to three weeks. The women that work there are quick but thorough, so you're not there for hours. They are also very sweet people. The only thing I don't like about Susan is some of the clientele. Women come in there demanding to be seen right away and complain if there's a wait. It's the East Village ladies! If you expect to waltz in with no wait at any salon on a weekend afternoon, you're SOL. Well, except for me... they usually take me right away. Why do you ask? Because I tip! I am always shocked that some customers will give like $2. You have to remember that these ladies make a very low hourly wage, and if they work on you for 60-90 mins, that $2 tip isn't going to help them survive. Pay up sisters! read more

They always do the best job. They pay a lot of attention to detail and the staff couldn't be nicer. The only place I go in East Village! read more

My go to place for gel and powder dip nails! Love this place & great service!

Great service and quick, I love they use gloves with cream vs water. Clean and price is great

Susan nail & spa is such a staple for me. They have so many color options for sns and my nails always last so much longer than expected. They also are affordable which is great in the city. The staff is friendly and I almost never have to wait. I highly recommend Susan nail & spa. Bonus is there is amazing pizza right r next door read more

This place is amazing! The ladies are so sweet and they really take their time to make sure you come out looking fabulous. Never going to another nail salon again. So for Yoko read more

This is the worst salon experience I NEVER had. I have never left a negative review, nor have I had an experience that compelled me to urge potential clientele to "stay away!". My friend and I got a great deal on Lifebooker, so we thought we would treat ourselves on a regular ol' Tuesday. We did have an appointment and we did show up late. We were asked to wait which was expected... As the shop grew busier, we were asked to move in towards the narrow hallway to wait. 25 minutes pass and two chairs open up. We got in ready position with magazines and polish in tote. After waiting another 25 minutes without so much as a peep from the staff, I went to the front room where the nail technicians were working on the hands of two girls who came in 20 after us with no appointment! I asked the woman in charge how much longer it would be. She took a look around and told me "A few more minutes." Growing irritated, I asked if she had a more specific number in mind since we had already waited 50 minutes "say, like 10 minutes?". Without looking at me she said "yeah". That's when my friend and I packed up our stuff and left. You don't need me to tell you how you should or shouldn't be treated. With all the nail salons out there, I see no sense in putting myself through this potential for frustration again. read more

Pros: kind staff Cons: communication issues, clumsy gel mani finish, lack of variety in gel colors I grabbed a deal at lifebooker and upgraded it to gel mani and regular pedi. The staff were VERY kind, which makes me uneasy to say the next. I didn't like the gel mani done here. When applying the color, she colored my cuticle partially, which gives the messy look and finish... Also, they had a very limited color selection for gels.. I eneded up choosing a color that I wasn't too fond of... I do not think ill wear this for the next 2 wks... One more problem, most of them speak very limited English... even the host at the reception didn't speak any better... I liked the service overall but I don't think I will come back here for the gel...:( read more

I've tried a million nail salons in the city. How lucky am I that the very best is around the corner from my apartment? Susan's always delivers high quality nails, and even greater is the outstanding service. This salon is clean, the employees are always kind and attentive (they never rush), and they give the best freaking massages. I love this place! read more

I love this nail salon. Been coming here for years with my mom and know when to come in since it can get packed easily (it's tiny). Started getting gel manicures here and they are not only a great price (28 on special) but they last very long. Definitely recommend coming in on an off hour, before 5 or 6 on a weekday. read more

OK. I cheated on Top A, and I ain't going back. Susan is cheap: $23 mani/pedi, easy: complimentary 5 minute foot massage, and she will keep you coming back for more: frequent customer card! A visit to Susan Nails haunted me all week: the manis don't chip and peel until the 6th or 7th day! Just when I thought my new relationship couldn't get any better, Susan randomly gave me a $5 gift certificate in an envelope that said 'Merry Christmas.' Heaven. read more

My old waxing salon closed for some reason. It's strange because one day it was there then the next, gone without a trace. So I was perusing the E. Village for a new place. My main priority, price. So I walked up and down Avenue A, St. Marks, 1st Ave. and compared price lists. I finally decided to settle on Susan Nail & Spa on Ave. A between 9th and 10th. The main draw, they're new and were having a special with 10% off waxing. You can get a manicure/pedicure for $23 right now so head in there quick before they raise the price. I only had waxing done so I cannot comment on the nail services. But my wax was awesome, Jessica did an excellent job and this will not be my go-to place for waxing. read more

I've been going to this salon for years! Jane (the technician) is the best! Too bad she's no longer there:(

Cheap, fast, and friendly service. It was a busy Saturday with no wait. Although the place really is about turnover, you don't feel rushed through the services and even the nail drying. read more

I've been coming here for 5+ years for nails only. The service is always great, it's always clean, and the technicians take their time to do good work. Don't forget to tip at least 20-25%! I'm happy with the color selection, as I usually find what I'm looking for. read more

Normally, I would have gone to my normal salon (Green Beauty First), but unfortunately, they closed. Was it a sign? I think so! Susan Nail & Spa is one of the best and CHEAP nail salons in the East Village. Yes I know, there are many cheap places, but most lack quality and cleanliness. I can only vouch for the manicures at the moment. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before getting a pedicure. So far, I've only had interaction with two of the girls. They are very polite and extremely detail oriented. I feel comfortable as they take their time and unhurried if there are people waiting. Choose the OPI polishes. They stay on longer and glide on smoother than Essie. Don't forget to sit at the nail dryer for two sessions. It may feel like forever, but it will ensure that your nails will stay perfect and are completely dry. It's a $15 minimum on cards and tips are cash only. read more

The massage chairs rock! They look brand new. I used to go to Top A, which is getting a little run down. There was no wait (although it filled up quickly). The ladies were friendly, thorough and detail oriented. I got the mani pedi +10 min foot massage & 10 min chair massage... which is strategically placed next to the turbo dryers for multi-tasking convenience. Otherwise, this is my new go to place for $23 mani/pedi's and the usual top selection of Essie & Opi polishes. read more

I have had positive experiences at Susan Nail and Spa. I have gone in for the $23 mani/pedi twice now and left happy both times. The staff is extremely sweet and very attentive to your requests. I had a different girl each time I went, and they both did a very thorough job on cleaning up my cuticles as well as filing and shaping my nails. I thought my color looked clean and professional, and I didn't notice any chipping until the 6th or 7th day. Its a small place, so its probably best to avoid peak times like saturday and sunday evenings. But they do try very hard to accommodate everyone so that there is not a long wait during busy times. I also like how they have a frequent visitor card, which is something I haven't noticed at other nail spas. The only somewhat negative thing I would comment on is their color selection. There isn't alot of variety--mostly different shades of reds, pinks, purples, and some oranges. read more

They have moved from Avenue A to 136 church st new york ny 10007. This is as of Oct 25, 2020 (or earlier).

Ugh. I have been looking for a great nail salon and thought I had found the one, and left a stellar review on Snailz that day. However, 3 days later and I am completely disappointed. I went for a fill in with gel polish on Monday and my nails looked wonderful. I was so, so happy with them and everyone agreed they looked amazing. Yesterday, they started chipping a little and I was annoyed but I was like okay, whatever. Now today (Thursday) the polish on two of my nails completely peeled off when I was in the shower, washing my hair. I have never had this happen with gel polish and I am so disappointed. I will unfortunately not be returning read more

I've had great experiences with the powder nails here before however my recent pedicure experience was horrific. Whatever solution they use to remove callouses essentially took off the top 5 layers of my skin on my toes -- the skin is raw and ripped through and I had one of the most painful walks home of my life. This entire experience put me back around $80. Horrible. read more

Sure wish I read these reviews before coming here. Went in on the spur of the moment. Got a mani pedi and was (at first) surprised at the low price. The pedi was just a quick dip in the water, filing nails and cutting cuticles and then polish. The technician filed my skin and scraped it. It is still sore the next day. The reason I got the pedi was because my feet were sore from walking and now it is way worse! The mani was very basic, too. She cut my cuticles sloppily and now I have painful hangnails. Another person started massaging my neck when I was drying. I thought it was nice trying to make up for hurting my toe. Nope! She said " you want mini massage?" I said I didn't want to pay more. She then sort of hit on my back to finish which may have been a massage technique but it hurt. It seemed as if she was not happy I said no and banged a little too hard. There are so many nail salons. Walk an extra block or two and get better service. I'll be paying for this one for days to come waiting for the careless nicks and scrapes heal. read more

I had a great experience here! Went here to get Nexgen after months of uv gel wrecking havoc on my nails. A friend of mine recommended Nexgen to me but surprisingly very few nail salons in the city do it. All of the ladies in here are really lovely! Nancy did my nails - a fabulous job! I love them. When I came in I had very tough Japanese uv gel on my nails and she meticulously filed it off for no extra charge. It took a while to get the gel off but she did a great job. Another technician, Jane, was also doing Nexgen on the person next to me and it looked so pretty! Charged $32 for Nexgen with a free shoulder massage. Tip in cash only. Loved it here! read more
