Came here without an appt for a pedicure for myself and a little moon for my 6 year old. The staff…read moremade accommodations to take us immediately and it was very nice. We were given a choice of polishes. Some came with an additional charge. We went for the one that dried within 5 minutes for an additional $10 each. My daughter and I sat side by side and had our manis. From start to finish the pedicures took about 30 mins. While my technician was applying polish, I noticed it was unevenly coated on 2 of my nails. It was supposed to dry in 5 mins and after 7 mins I touched the uneven coat and it smudged. I asked the technician to fix it and she did. We waited about 10 mins for the polish to dry, my daughter waited longer since her pedi was short. When we got home her polish is completely smudged. Overall I enjoyed the experience but dont think this is for me. Even looking closely at our toe nails long after they dried, there are spots of missing polish on my feet and smudges on my daughters decal.

I hadn't gotten my nails done since pre-pandemic and was feelin like treating myself, so I decided…read moreto book Lili and Cata for a couple reasons: - They're one of the only nail salons in the area that have a website, post prices online, and let you book online - Reasonable prices (there are definitely cheaper places, but a lot of them looked less clean or had worse reviews) - Non-Toxic polish - Good reviews It was super easy to book an appointment, and a week later, I can say that I would highly recommend this place and it's definitely on the upper tier of nail places in NYC!! I got the basic gel manicure and regular pedicure, and it came out to $98 before tax + tip. I got my nails done with Jasmin, and she did a great job perfectly shaping my nails + painting. Also was so impressed with my pedicure (not pictured), as my feet were in terrible condition and they look soooo good now! It's been a week and my nails haven't chipped at all. Sometimes when I go to nail salons the paint job is a little messy, and when I do light colors I'm worried about it being streaky or uneven, but this place was really great about meticulously painting, and it looks great! They also give you a little moisturizer and hand/foot massage with the standard mani/pedi which was a nice touch. Everyone there was super nice and I like that there was a cafe attached where you could get something to sip on or eat while you waited. All in all, would definitely recommend, really high quality service and good value IMO, will be coming back soon!

Went for gel mani and gel pedi. Elva Li (Nail Tech/Nail Artist) was READY as soon as I walked. she had the photo I sent pulled up, asked a few questions and got straight to work. To sum it up, Elva did better than the Ai photo and I got out before I thought I would. Found my new nail salon close to home. Clean, comfortable, quiet, relaxing, amazing customer service, quick. Thank you Nail of The Day! Thank you Elva Li!

I've been here a few times, though never consistently, because my experience has been so mixed…read more I've generally liked the results, and the gentleman who runs the salon has always been kind and professional. Unfortunately, I've repeatedly been booked with Binbin Xia, and each appointment with her has been uncomfortable. I'm a quiet, polite client, I ask for advice when needed, and I always tip well for good work. Despite that, her communication has often felt rude, impatient, and dismissive. At times, her frustration and negativity were so obvious that I considered leaving mid-service. It's disappointing because the actual nail results are good, and I've had a different technician there who was lovely and collaborative. But customer service is a major part of the experience, and the way I've been treated by Binbin has made it hard for me to want to return. I hope she learn to respect and at minimum exhibit kindness to the person across from her. It can help make the experience so much better for both parties.

It just been many misses the past months. I got this time a gel acrylic tip. I asked for short almond with a yellow French tip design. Everything was just so rushed and unorganized. They had so many people come in and they want to attend all but it's only three females working and all shuffling around each other. Literally all three woman did different things to partake in doing my nails and still they came out so bad. I'm not one to complain because I just feel so uncomfortable having to do so but even if I did I couldn't because they had already started working on 5 other people they said yes to while only being 3 workers working ! So I would've needed to wait even longer to get them fixed. My thumbs were two different shapes. And my nails just looked so bad they shaped them in like 4 minutes all my 10 fingers which I feel takes time but they didn't bc they all rushing and just taking on more than they can so my nails were all just not shaped or buffed out and smoothed out at all. Making the shape look so bad from the sides as you can see. And then the paint job was awful! It was so bulky and looking like waves on my nails which you can see in the pictures and especially on the sides how bad it all looks. I left so sad and defeated because I paid $60 for this job and left a tip to make it $70! Just to come home and remove it all. Then the past months I get a gel manicure on my nails very simple manicure of just gel and they start chipping within 5 days never did it use to do that but three times I've gone and that's what I ended up with so it's time for me to just not come here anymore they gone so downhill

As of December 2024:…read more I've been a client of theirs for almost 2 years now and adore their weekday deals and services! Honestly I don't have a go-to manicurist because, in my opinion, the ladies who have served me (usually) did an excellent job- minus some accidental hiccups. Overall, the employees are professional, can read the room, and do a nice job. The price is reasonable for the location (especially) with the weekday specials. The music is excellent as they play a playlist of lofi hits. Most of the clients also keep to themselves whenever I visit so the ambience is peaceful, especially for those who need a rest from NYC's busy life. The color variety and quality brands they curate are excellent too so there will be a color you can find even if the one that you initially wanted is discounted (I'm looking at you silver!!!). Pros: Service is professional and on time Variety of quality colors and brands Appointments made through website, app, phone or in person Walk ins available but not recommended at peak time Clean bathroom Coat check Clean space Peaceful ambience Front desk service Free drinks (wine, tea, water, hot chocolate) Accepts cash and card/contactless Accepts cash or venmo payment for tips Price reasonable with specials from Mon-Thurs Conveniently located near the B62/B32 and G train Cons: Gets very busy, especially for walk ins Definitely a nice nail shop locally made in Greenpoint

As soon as we walked in, we felt like we had stepped into a calm, beautiful sanctuary. The biggest highlight for me is Natalie, an absolutely phenomenal nail artist. Her talent is unmatched--she's detailed, creative, and always gets the design just right. Whether you have a full idea or just a concept, she brings it to life with care and precision. I'm including photos her designs because they're too good not to share. I also want to give love to Rachu, who gave me an amazing pedicure. She was so thoughtful and professional, and the massage chairs were everything. The pedicure space is incredibly relaxing and super clean--such a great setup. We were greeted with warm hospitality and offered wine, tea, coffee, or water as soon as we arrived, which added to the relaxing vibe. Primp and Polish is the full package--beautiful space, top-tier talent, and service that makes you feel truly cared for. Can't wait to come back!

My pedicure tech, massaged my legs and feet so well. I had a deep foot spa treatment and I was so relaxed and in love with how well they treated us. They cut my nails evenly and put in so much work to remove callus as well. They don't do acrylic here which makes the smell inside so relaxing. They use aromatherapy and even have the cutest doggy pet in their shop. He's so quiet and friendly. The owner, I believe, was just so nice. She even massaged my shoulders and neck free of charge. She was so positive and in great spirits. My feet were baby smooth, I've not had a pedicure done so well like this in forever. I chose chrome gel polish which is $10 more but she waived that fee since I didn't see it on any sign. Come here, you won't regret it. They do prefer cash tips btw.

I had booked a basic pedicure and gel manicure but then upgraded to a cat's eye manicure once I looked through all of the available gel colors. I had heard that cat's eye manicures were very time-consuming, but my manicure was started simultaneously with the pedicure, enabling me to be on my way in under an hour and a half. I couldn't be more pleased with my standard pedicure and impeccable cat's eye manicure by Cindy, the manager. I also appreciated the drying fans for toes installed at the manicure stations, which sped up the drying process and allowed me to leave without smudging any toes. I highly recommend this salon.

I decided to give it a second try with a different tech this week to see if my experience would improve. Not at all! The tech was inexperienced and lacked customer service skills.

Now I'm POSITIVE that I will not be returning.

I called ahead to try to name some of the girls that maybe available, and I got Alex C, or Alexandra. She was AMAZING! She was so super meticulous with the manicure I got, that it looked almost photo shopped. She had steady hands and worked quickly and cleanly. She didn't talk too much, but she really takes pride in her work. I didn't make it easy for her, especially since we had to remove the remaining SNS, but she didn't hurt me or cut my cuticles until I bled. Great success! If you're expecting to be pampered and fawned over, this isn't your place. If you're having a nails emergency and need a doctor, Freckle to the rescue!

There are no fancy tricked out pedi chairs but I still felt comfortable and pampered. I went in after seeing all the great reviews since I was in the area and the receptionist told me it would be a 1/2 hour wait for a mani pedi. No problem. Because it's small and they seem to have a loyal customer following I had no problem waiting a bit instead of trying a few of the nearby places. I loved the huge variety of colors and brands, and especially that they carry Zoya polishes which are some of my favorites (they tend to apply very well and last), but you don't see them in salons very often. I got a really thorough but efficient basic mani-pedi. I was amazed at how quickly she worked and both my fingers and toes looked gorgeous after. Especially since my fingers had a pastel pistachio color that can sometimes apply streakily in the wrong hands. But nope, I got a flawless application. I stayed a bit longer to do an extra drying cycle because I didn't want to mess up the beautiful work I just had done. I'm giving it 3 stars because after only two days both the polish on my fingers and toes started chipping within 2 days. For fingers it's not that unexpected, even though I wasn't very active during that time. I was really surprised the toenail polish began chipping, since I've had good pedis that last 10-14 days unblemished and even longer and I thought the one I got at Freckle would be in the longer-lasting category. If I'm in the neighborhood I might try Freckle again because I walked out feeling great and my nails did look incredible from the start. It was just really disappointing that it lasted barely 48 hours.
