Walked in with an hour and a half before I had to leave for work, and was able to get a great gel x extension & manicure in that time! Everyone was friendly, the work was efficient, and the result is just what I was looking for! read more

Urban Nail Salon - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

In a good location and accessible by many trains. Reasonable prices and the nails techs welcome design ideas and if looks like the picture! I get gel mani and pedicures here and haven't had an issue. My gel lasts and I come out admiring my nails for days. Pro - location, price, spacious for a smaller spot w/o feeling over crowded or rushed. Walkins are accepted but it's good to make an appointment. Con - up a flight of stairs. This is not a huge con but at far as accessibility it's the city and common but something to be aware of. It's worth it to come up the stairs. I honestly don't have anything bad to say it's a decent nail salon. It's a great place for a self care day. B/c of the location it's close to restaurants and shopping. You can make it a day of pampering and self care. read more

Booked a French Manicure through ClassPass the day before. Told the front desk woman that I had an appointment and she knew it was for a French mani. Told my manicurist that I paid through ClassPass and can pay the tip via Zelle (that's the stores preference). The manicurist proceeded to give me a GEL French manicure and once it was done I said I have to pay in full. This was AFTER I left a review on ClassPass for them. They told me they stopped using the service 2 years ago - spoke to ClassPass and this was not true. They waited til the other customers left and the three women left told me I had to pay $50 dollars regardless. Spoke to ClassPass and confirmed it was a scam. Did not get refunded by the salon and almost didn't give me a receipt as I paid in cash. The $50 was more than what their own website charges for the service. Please be careful here, especially if you're there alone read more

Thank you Susan for allowing my friend and I to return for a different style. The manicures came out beautifully as shown in the photos. Although there is a policy to accommodate nail discrepancies , it was definitely an uncomfortable experience to return. The nail tech who did my nails was there and reminded me I said I liked them. If someone is giving me what I'd hope was their best, I would be offended too. Please do understand I was made fun of by my boyfriend after getting my nails done. That's not a nice feeling. I felt bad to come back after appreciating her efforts but I had no other choice. I've built conspiracies that maybe once the gel cured under the UV, it may of widened the lines. Endless possibilities but please don't let my experience deter you. The shop is very clean with cute interior design and the mani pedis are great! read more

Love this place! It's located in a great neighborhood, the staff are friendly, and is most reasonably priced salon in the neighborhood. $25 for a pedicure in this neighborhood is a steal. The place is also very clean and the staff are all great at what they do. This was my second time at this nail salon, and happy to say it was even better than the first time I came by. Susan, the lady who did my pedicure was incredible. She took her time and really did a great job on my feet and nails. It's also a plus that all the pedicure chairs are massage chairs, so if you like massages, you will definitely enjoy that component. They also give you a neck massage at the end of every service, which is really nice and rare to find everywhere. Also, I recommend paying in cash so that you can pay the exact amount and won't be charged credit card fees. They also offer Venmo for tips in case you don't have cash on you which is convenient. read more

Well... I came here twice they did a nice clean job each time , that's why I returned for a hard gel fill the technician I don't remember her name kept cutting me with the drill I didn't say anything but those cuts hurt they feel like paper cuts. Anyways the nails turned out ok not my favorite but fine enough. As I am paying I usually leave the change to the technician if I HAVE MORE I WILL leave more but she stops me and says it's mandatory in "New York" to tip 18% to 20% witch I understand my total was 75$ I was giving her $10 tip witch is 15%. I've never felt more embarrassed or put on the spot ever in my life over A Tip. Tip Is never MANDATORY but it's nice she was trying to force me to leave more. I have worked in customer service and have never asked anyone in my life to leave more tip. I WILL NEVER BE BACK. read more

From one perfectionist to another... Susan is official. I have been on a search for a new nail tech, and so happy to say that I have found her! Not only did Susan do an amazing job taking off acrylic tips from a different salon, she made sure to do it with care (along with another nail tech whose name I didn't catch, who was also very sweet). I not only enjoyed how kind Susan was, but I really appreciated her answering all of my questions. She explained every step of my nails getting done; the soak off, what kind of manis they do, which would be best for my nails, and even gave me some pointers on nail health as it relates to the service I chose (hard gel w/design). I really enjoyed this visit! I'm very picky when it comes to nail techs esp since I really pay attention to nail health and she checked off ALL my boxes. The salon itself is extremely cute! It was 95 degrees today, but they had the A/C on blast, calming music playing, and just an overall clean and nice vibe. They were VERY clean, and used brand new and clean tools on my hands (which is a non-negotiable for me). Can't wait for my fill-in with Susan in a few weeks!!! read more

I finally found a nail salon on the East Side that is reasonably priced and does a nice manicure. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I really enjoyed the service and the way they shape my nails. I always walk in and they take me right away. I haven't had to wait once yet. read more

This is a great salon. They don't have too many people working so careful what time you go if it's without an appointment. They have good prices too. I got a gel pedicure for $45 the other day. I think they also take Venmo for tips which is nice when you don't have cash. read more

I've been going to same nail salon in Brooklyn for the last ten years and never had an issue with them. Due to the fact that I wanted my nails freshly done before my birthday, I went here for the first time. Not only did I pay double what I usually pay, they did a horrible job. Three of my nails started peeling off about 30 minutes after I left the salon and almost all of my nails had clear nail polish on the skin. All my nails are a different shape from each other and there's a lot of empty space that isn't fully filled in with nail polish. When I came back to fix my nails, I was greeted with attitude and was blamed for chipping my own nails. WHY would I leave the salon and chip my own nails 30 minutes after they did them to just have to go all the way back to them? Also, when I came to them I had my old gel on which was in perfect condition other than being outgrown. When they re-did my nails, one came out bumpy anyway. One nail also looked like it had a thicker layer of nail polish on half of it and when I pointed it out they said that's just how my nail is. My nail has never looked like that after a manicure in my life and now suddenly they're telling me it's thicker on one half? Anyway, I would not recommend this nail salon to anyone for just their attitude alone. Forgot to mention that the lady who did my nails originally hurt me multiple times during the process. read more

Found this place while looking for a nail salon in the East side of midtown while passing time before dinner with friends and wanted to get a manicure. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable...comparable to other nail salons... $12 for a regular manicure...weekday regular mani/pedi combo for $30... Extra for add-ons, etc. if you go at the right time, not much of a wait. They did a good job and I've been back for a mani-pedi too! Will come again when I need mani/pedi in midtown. read more

Exactly the tranquil nail salon experience I needed. I had an appointment for a gel manicure and a pedicure; bookings were for 30 minutes each. I was greeted right away and got to sit down for the pedicure immediately, with only a couple other people in the salon, so it felt decently spaced out. The nail tech who did my nails was wonderful. Friendly, calming, and attentive. The shoulder massage while the gel polish was drying was a really nice touch as well. Prices are awesome and I'm definitely going to be coming back here. read more

Genuinely LOVE it here!! Been coming here now for awhile now after stumbling upon them at their West side location and goddamnit do they know how to do a manicure here! Leave here every time with pristine nails (and stay such for at least 2 weeks, that I squeeze out 3 weeks) and they always accommodate whatever time constraints I have. I come here specifically for Susan and Norma - they both churn out some of the most detailed, concise, and quality manicures I've ever had. Sure, the salon is no frills, but it packs a giant punch - if you're in the market for a quality manicure across the board, Susan and Norma are your girls! read more

I am pretty particular with my nails and what is done with them. I really really like this place. They listen. The gel manicures last. One time they last about 3 weeks. I went to other places and realized that they are so much better. They do get really busy, so plan ahead. read more

$22 for a pedicure which I think is pretty cheap for Midtown. I went on a Saturday afternoon- there's not usually a line. Quick no frills places to get a pedicure done. Nothing fancy. I haven't tried the manicure yet but they do have specials on the weekdays. Free Wifi - pw is above the drying station area. read more

I take my nail care VERY seriously, which explains why it took until five months after my move further uptown that I actually decided to try a place in my not-so-new-anymore hood. Separation anxiety? Understatement. But change is good, right? Right. I sent my friend here for a test-run prior to coming myself (I told you, manicure OCD to the max), and she said it would be granted my approval once I tried. I arrived around 6pm on a Thursday night and they weren't busy just yet, by 6:30 they had a rush of people come in. I was impressed with their selection of Essie and OPI polishes, and they have a few different brands of gel. Their prices are also some of the best in Midtown East. $10 for a manicure and no added on tax like other places have. Yes! The nail technicians were very nice and accommodating. I was also impressed at how thorough mine was with my cuticles. She kept making sure she cleaned them up well and if she noticed something later on, she'd correct it immediately. Now THAT is good service! The only thing that stopped me from giving Urban a full five stars has nothing to do with the manicure but rather, the ambiance. It's totally fine, clean, and well maintained, but maybe I was just missing the spa-like vibe I got at my old place. Sigh, can't win 'em all, I guess. Also, there is limited seating at the driers but thankfully they dry polish quickly. I think I found my new weekly spot! Lastly, they do have a rewards card! Every 10 manicures you get a free one...but they don't advertise this so you gotta ask! read more

Made a pedicure appt for 5pm and showed up exactly at 5. They had basically forgotten about my appointment. So when I showed up no one was available because they had JUST (like just starting to turn on the water) taken two pedicures. They confirmed that I had an appt for 5 and then told me to leave and come back later. They said if I stayed and waited it would be about 20 minutes so I just stayed since I had come all the way there anyway. It was not 20 minutes. It was 35. They also didn't even give me nail colors to look at while I waited. Pricing is good but if you're on a schedule, this is not the place for you. read more

Nothing like a shitty gel manicure on a Friday morning, right? I wasn't expecting to be blown away based on the price, but I do expect it to look better than this. And they charged a $3 card fee without telling me. read more

Literally the worst pedicure I have ever received. The technician rushed my pedicure, none of my toe nails are cut evenly, and there are so many bubbles in the polish. This was not the relaxing pedicure I was hoping for and I would never recommend! read more

Just got a pink gel mani, pedi and 10min massage. I walked out of there feeling refreshed and relaxed! Jane did my nails and massage. She's got great skills doing nails and the massage. The massage was my favorite part. She went for the knots. The nails are great! I'm a stickler when it comes to my nails and she didn't disappoint. I love coming here after work. Staff is always nice, place is clean, the prices are reasonable for that area and they REALLY cater to you. I have been young for 4yrs now. Thank you so much Jane! read more

The entire experience was rushed, and the service could've been better. I had an appointment for a mani/pedi, and the entire process was rushed. As more clients came in, I felt that she started to hastily go over everything. I first had my pedicure, and it was around 10-15 min long. She barely did any of the traditional pedicure steps...it was basically her trimming my nails, soaking my feet, hastily scrubbing my foot, and then applying color. The last time I had a pedicure, it was around 30 min. She then told me to go over to do my manicure, and once again, that process was extremely rushed. As she was doing my manicure, she accidentally stepped on my toes, which ruined the pedicure, and she was very annoyed as if it was my fault. She had to redo the toenails by making me prop my foot up in a very painful position as she repainted them. The manicure also didn't last. It started chipping on the 3rd day, and the only step that she did that I didn't do was apply some cream on my hand - otherwise, I could've given myself the same quality manicure. The manicure was less than 10 minutes long, and by that time, there were a bunch of customers waiting. Since this was an appointment-only place, it just meant that they were overbooked... The service was also not great. They were complaining about people not tipping enough, which I get, it's rough out here, but also they were expecting a 20%+ tip...I tipped 18% and immediately felt that they weren't happy. In the beginning, they were gossiping about my friend and me in Chinese...but I am fluent in Chinese and understood every word that they said. It was supposed to be a very enjoyable experience, but instead, I felt that I was being rushed, on top of hearing gossip... The only upside is the price - I feel like these days, finding a $25 pedicure and a $15 manicure is rare... read more

As I work locally I needed to show some love to my hands and feet, I'm typically on my feet most of the day and also a runner so this place worked out perfectly. I placed my appointment for 4 pm got in a bit early and they had enough space to fit me in and give me a mani and pedicure. I notice they practice the covid standards and are very clean. The nail technicians all had a mask on and have hand sanitizer by the stations. After my massage I got about a 10 min shoulder massage which was amazing. Will definitely be coming back and they also have a members card for each of the visit to get a free service after you a few visits. This place gets a 5 star in my books. Well in to the pictures. read more

I wouldn't recommend this salon. Made an appointment this past Friday and still waited and was rushed. The lady doing my mani/pedi was aggressive and left my cuticles bleeding. Did not end up getting my eyebrows done. read more

After procrastinating on doing my nails for 2 weeks I finally broke down to have them done. I HATE not having my nails done. I called first to ask the price and to see when they wouldn't be so busy. I took the short walk and popped in at 11:30 for a regular manicure. There were 2 people in chairs already and one getting a pedicure. After me, 4 more people walked in so I'm glad I came when I did. I was in and out in 30 mins and I think she did a great job with my nails. It's not my usual gel manicure so I'll be going to my regular place for that in a week but for a quick fix these look great for under $20 including tip. read more

The old lady working Monday night tried to use a subway card to take of my acrylic nails. When I told her it was hurt and my nails are really thin she act like I'm stupid and put my hand into the removal without filing my nails thinner. Keep saying it would take too long. Then came back to file the soft part out and again, peeling it with her hand which didn't work. Acting like the method is normal and I'm over acting. I've never experienced such a thing. read more

Went in to get my dip removed. Took them over 40 minutes and I only had 9 nails on. The lady asked the other lady if she had given me a price and then up charged me by $10, she said it was because it took 40 minutes but they went and did other peoples nails in the meantime! And I left with my nails looking a wreck and the dip still on them. Will not be returning read more

This is my second time going to this place and I did not like this place. First time when I went I only did a quick manicure, it was fine and convenient. Today I went to take off my color gel and do a regular manicure. The lady first told me I have to pay $5 to take off gel which is normal every where. But she just used the machine to file down my nail to remove the gel although I told her my nails are so thin and please use the foil paper to remove. Then she pretends she didn't understand and continue using the machine to file them off. Entire time she was rushing. I will not go back to this place again. read more

Love this place! Great pricing, peaceful environment and excellent customer service. They repair for free for up to a week after service.

This place is HORRIBLE! I went in for the first time to get a mani/pedi. I have regular feet and hands but diverged from my normal salon because this place was close to work. That's about the only positive thing I have to say. The mani pedi was rushed and my pedicurist did not even scrub all of the dead skin from my feet. Mind you, I have normal feet without excess callus removal needed. Most of the time a file or Pumice stone does the trick. Even after complaining about my rough heels, the pedicurist neglected to fix the problem or offer up any viable solutions to make me happy. As I sat down for my manicure and the same manicurist cut the cuticles from my nails, she inadvertently left hangnails and dead skin all over my hands. She asked me to check three times and each time I pointed out more dry skin (please refer to photo) that she missed. Finally she got tired of asking me and decided to rush through the rest of the manicure. Additionally, the two coats of polish were uneven and the paint job had bubbles all over it. While paying for the services, the manicurist forced me to sign before my manicure ended...I guess she was afraid that I wouldn't pay or tip properly. Terrible place, not coming back!!!! read more

The gel manicures are consistent - last a long time (for me, 2 weeks until they grow out) and always even. Pedicures are great as well. I've gone with and without an appointment - when I have had an appointment I haven't waited longer than a few minutes. Without one, they do seem to still get me in quickly, even if they are very busy. The staff is very friendly - when I brushed my toe before it was dry and scuffed the polish, my tech was happy to fix it right away. The atmosphere is great - they play spa music that is super relaxing, and the salon itself is always clean. I will keep going back - best salon I have found in the area. read more

I got tips with an SNS powder manicure with gel design on top and I'm so happy. I came with a few design ideas and they were honest about which they could do well which I appreciated because some salons will just do whatever you want regardless of if it'll come out nicely. My nail tech was meticulous and made sure I was happy with my design. She even gave me a free bottle of moisturizer when I mentioned it was my birthday. It's been a week and they're holding up perfectly so far. Only giving 4 stars because they were a bit understaffed so a lot of girls got turned away while I was there, but with labor shortages I can't really blame them and they clearly felt badly. Definitely would come back for an affordable and beautiful manicure! read more

I've been going to Urban Nails for the last 8 years. The ladies do an excellent job with mani, pedi, and massages. They remember exactly how I like my nails treated (pushed back, no cuticle cutters unless I deeply need it). Their paint job is beautiful every time, fully covered from side to side. Prices are SUPER reasonable for NYC. Don't be afraid to ask for a third coat for a sheer nail polish. What I really appreciate the most is that they are friendly to customers as well as to each other. Please don't tip under 20% for the service industry, that's just disrespectful. read more

When you walk in, you are treated like a princess with the most enthusiastic hellos and how abouts...that is, until you take out/mention your Groupon. There's a lot of reasons I don't use those voucher deals sometimes because there are a lot of hidden setbacks they don't tell you until you use it. Urban Nails, for one, was no exception. Since I went on a Saturday, it was $30. Though the $1 "tax" was understandable, they had the nerve, after I left a 15% tip, to tell me I had to leave a 20% tip. WHAT? Since when was a set tip rate imposed on Groupon deals? After I left my initial 15% tip, my nail lady, Michelle, was obviously telling her little friend how I left less than $6 for tip and she didn't hesitate to demand I leave that 20% tip. The manicure and pedicure weren't bad, I'll give them that. My nail polish started to chip off about almost 2 weeks after and they were nicely done. The back massage, however, was horrific. Imagine as if someone were kicking your back real hard. It felt as if she was ripping my skin off and pulling my hair. It was the most painful massage I've ever gotten. Then again, it was "Groupon exclusive". A small, but nice selection of nail polishes but I will definitely not come back again. The drying station was kind of disgusting and uncomfortable. I get they're trying to make it as fancy as possible with the marble but it isn't worth it when you feel other people's oily fingerprints left behind! By the way, they really know how to make business. DO NOT USE A CREDIT CARD - they will charge you $2 extra! read more
