I have been using Blondi’s for several years and hands down the best nail salon in NYC. Clean, professional, and very reasonable for what they offer in the way of quality. You can see by all the positive reviews that people love it. Never had fungus as one person said and always things being cleaned and sanitized. I would highly recommend them and do not take the word of a disgruntled person.
The BEST in the UES. I get my nails done religiously and only go to Blondis. Everyone who works there is nice and professional. They always do an amazing job and are reasonably priced! There are so many nail salons in the area, but Blondis is hands down #1. And the massages are out of this world... sometimes I go just for the massage!
I have been going to this location for 5+ years and there is no other place in the city that compares. Not only are they all extremely talented and diligent technicians, but they care about their customers and community. They are always friendly, accommodating and considerate of their customer and their time. They have done wonders with my nails, helped them grow and kept them healthy. Kingi, Amy, Donna and Erica (just to name a few) have been incredible to me over the last few years and I am so grateful to have their salon in my neighborhood!
Nice space, staff was accommodating for a walk-in around like 1ish. Decent pricing for an upper eastside nail salon ✅This was my first time getting white, i usually do black or clear so i’m getting used to the look. i think my nail tech did an overall decent job but when she was putting on the coats, I felt like she was kindof rushing and wasn’t giving my nails the proper care because at the end, i had to ask her to fix a few things. some might say why give a 4 stars for a rushed job but i do so because it’s a struggle finding the right nail salon. i see potential in this spot for my next visit.edit** were more mistakes than had first seen.
Not sure why other comments say its the best.. 15 min very basic pedicure plus quick manicure was $40, every step of the way is a surcharge.They put clear net in the tab, which in other place gave me fungus because they never clean it. I noticed there he bowl she took from a shelf and after finished with me, poured out the water and put on the same shelf, not even washed it briefly.. Tips I said 15%, she charged me 18%, even though I confirmed twice the tip amount. Not coming back for sure..
BEST Nail Salon-Everyone is so nice- professional and the salon is SUPER CLEAN- All clients get a new set of tools to be used on them only-Plastic Wraps are put in all pedicure bowls for cleanliness and safety- THE BEST manicures and pedicures on the UES
Thank you Amy for an amazing manicure!
If you need an amazing gel mani and pedi SCHEDULE DONNA! She’s talented, takes her time! Cleans and shapes beautifully! The best gel manis and pedis I’ve ever had
Ive been a customer of the owners for over 20 years. All I can say if you need a beautiful, lovely, and perfect medi/pedi this is the place. Blondis Nail & Spa is the best in NYC and I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
Came in for traditional mani pedi for $40. The ladies were very good with paying close to detail, ensuring that each coat was even. The complimentary massage...I wanted to take the nail tech home with me.Also, the way they keep everything clean and sanitized since re-opening post COVID, makes you feel super safe and reassured. I will be back! Great energy there.
Rochelle did an amazing job on my nails. I also like the location and ambience of the salon! Very professional and friendly staff as well.
Erika is wonderful. I recommend her. I bring her pictures of designs that I like and she flawlessly completes them. Shes a perfectionist and I love it! Thank you Erika!
This is my favorite nail salon on the UES!! They are extremely neat and clean, the salon is adorable, and you can always tell theyre giving 150% effort. Theyre also so friendly!! Going here is always the highlight of my day.
Everyone at Blondi’s is wonderful, but I specifically see Dona. Dona is the nicest person and the BEST at any kind of nail service! She is meticulous and pays attention to the small stuff! I used to go to a different place, and my gel never lasted the full two weeks. At Blondi’s, it always lasts and looks nice for the entire time! I can’t recommend this place enough!
Blondis Nail & Spa is the best in the world !! Hands down :)
So helpful and kind!
My experience was great! Went for a Maternity Massage got it done by Miguel and I couldn’t be any more happier. Came out feeling amazing!! Definitely will be going again ☺️
Wow! I am very impressed with this place. Staff was great and very welcoming. I only went in to fix 2 nails that had broken and found out there that they didn’t offer acrylic. I’m from Texas where acrylic is used most places so initially I was skeptical but Kingi fixed it with a silk wrap which was 100 times better. The previous job which was acrylic was also done in New York was terrible and when she looked at it I know she can see it was bad but didn’t criticize. Knowing it could be better I asked her to just remove the previous set and start fresh but she said that wasn’t necessary and she could fix it. In my eyes that’s amazing because that would have been more money for the salon to remove a set and add a new one. She sure did fix it and they look so much better and super natural. I’d definitely recommend this place!!! Great staff and great service. Oh and I got a hand massage AND a back massage!!!
Loved this place! Came here before a wedding with the bride and family. Service was impeccable and our nails were great. The massages were a great plus!
Blondis nails is the best neighborhood place, even if you live a little farther away worth the commute. Great manicure pedicure waxing and super relaxing massages to end a stressful day!!!!!You will always feel welcome! It’s clean, friendly, and affordable! Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed!!
I have been going to Blondis for years. I was so happy to see that they reopened after COVID. The facility is clean, following all guidelines and concerned for the safety of their staff and customers. So happy to see they survived the shut down. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!! Was able to get an appointment right away and they had shields, sanitizer, kept the chairs and manicure tables at an appropriate distance. Had a wonderful mani and pedi. Additionally they have not raised their prices meaningfully like other nail salons. Tip well ladies, they need our help to stay in business!
This place is the BEST. Erika has always taken such good care of my hands, and everyone there does an amazing job. I have my entire family come get their nails done before my wedding and it was the perfect experience :)
This is the BEST salon in NYC. The staff is friendly, accommodating and best of all? They are METICULOUS. I am rather particular about my nails and while I have my regular nail technicians there, I think everyone working there is great. Pricing is comparable or lower than many other neighboring salons and they keep the place clean and well-stocked. I highly recommend Blondis!
I have been coming to this salon for years now. They have always been super clean and even more so now in the wake of Covid. They have partitions separating each pedicure chair station and plexiglass on each manicure station. They take your health and safety seriously and this is what I love about them. They are always on time for my appointments and the service I receive from Kinji, Erika and Raquel is top notch.My pedicures are always neat, clean and precise polish job. I mean I can’t say enough about the quality of service. Not to mention their prices are reasonable for an upper east side salon.I am very particular about my nails and feet and I have never been disappointed coming here.Give them a try if you’re looking for a clean quality mani/pedi. They also offer other services as well. Tell them L sent you!
Best nail salon ever! Im there once a week. Never disappointed!! Most Amazing, friendly and caring staff.
The gel manicure and pedicure were absolutely fantastic. I didn’t know what shape to choose so they chose the shape that was best for me and it looks beautiful. I’ve never been happier or felt more pampered. This is now my spot.
This is the best nail salon in the neighborhood!!Every manicurist greets you with a friendly smile when you walk in. They take their time during your manicure/pedicure and pay extra attention. You never feel rushed and their energy is warm and inviting. I am super picky and after trying every other place around, after my first visit here two years ago it’s been my go to place. I highly recommend!!!!
I have been going to blondis ever since I moved to the upper east side a year ago. They are the best in the neighborhood! Super professional and friendly and they don’t rush you out, they really take the time to give you a perfect manicure. I really love this nail salon!
Great quality (one of the best gel manicures Ive ever had) and great people. Ill definitely be back! Thank you ladies for your work :)
Love Kingi and her daughter Donna. Both do an excellent manicure and pedicure. Extemely nice and professional. Prices are fair and there is a loyalty program. I highly recommend you make an appointment. Salon can get very busy on the weekends.
Always do a meticulous job and if they cant get you in right away, theyre totally upfront with an estimated time (so youre not sitting around just waiting). My nails are so short and they still manage to make them look great. Such a nice staff and super clean as well!
Absolutely love this place. Been coming here for years. The staff is ALWAYS professional, courteous and helpful. Besides the fact that their work is flawless. I always receive compliments on my mani and pedi. They are terrific.Give them a try you won’t be sorry - only completely satisfied.
Blondis has been my favorite place for quite some time and I used to go to Maria.She’s no longer there but the rest of the gals are good. Except Amy- which is the reason I will never walk into this place again. She butchered my nails and when I asked her to slow her pace with the filing, she told me my nails are crooked and my hands are deformed so she’s trying to fix them.. what?!?! My nails were not crooked neither are my hands deformed! I almost broke into tears in the salon. I suspect that’s she’s the owner and that’s even worse. You cannot treat customers this way and if a customer politely asks to fix something, your nail technicians, especially the owners should not make discriminatory comments. Disgusted by this place.
I go to Blondis every single time i need a wax, polish job or a chat. The girls at Blondis are the sweetest people and the paint job is exceptional. I’ll never go to another salon.
Come here to get perfectly executed mani’s and pedi’s. I’ve had both regular and gel done here, (for years now) as well as all my waxing needs- and am always satisfied. They do great work and the whole staff is warm, welcoming and lovely. I’ve payed much more at other shops- with far less satisfactory results. And, while you’re drying, or just because it’s feels sooo good, slip into one of their massage chairs and blissfully sail away.
I have been coming here for the past three years and am never disappointed. Great service and prices!
Love this place!! I usually make appts with Donna or Kingi but everyone is so amazing. They do a great job and really take their time.
Love the work she did! Very nice atmosphere and a very sweet lady! She did the art exactly as I wanted and asked for!
Blondes nail salon is the place I go to whenever i need perfect nails. They have a variety of colors and always follow exactly what I want (shape, color, length, etc.). The girls are beyond sweet.
Egregiously bad manicure. Paid extra $3 for Essie gel couture longwear polish and dried for nearly 20 minutes. Half of my nails were chipping and peeling less than an hour later.
I have been going to Blondi’s with my clients to do our nails for the past nine months and really love it. Donna my manicurist is very professional, she is pleasant and alway ensure that whatever she is doing you are very satisfied. She pay attention to every details so when she is finished you are happy.i recommend yozu trying her ranrzds you will be as happy as I am.dudiy
Easy to get to on the Q line, the 86th St Station entrance is directly across 2nd Ave. This place is clean and all of the staff friendly. Miriam has done for me from pedicure to waxing. She is quick, pleasant, professional and talented. You are much better off if you get an appointment, but it is easy to make one - even same day. I highly recommend this place and Miriam.
My girlfriend and two daughters love this place, and it is my go to place for my monthly pedi.The whole staff is warm and friendly and make you feel at home. As great as the pedi is I always look foward to my shoulder massage afterwards!
The lady who do my nails she verry nice
Honestly, this is the only nail salon I will ever go to anymore. This is truly the best manicure in all of New York City. I live down in Hells Kitchen and I make appointments and head up to the UES to get my nails done at Blondis. A regular polish manicure lasts me for about 2 weeks without chipping; sometimes even 3 weeks! Its super affordable, I love the experience, and the ladies are so nice and pay so much attention to detail. Erika is the best for a French; she’s super passionate about what she does which is why she is so excellent at what she does. Theyre always busy with repeat clients so you *know* theyre amazing. Theyre just not your average nail salon. Truly, if you are looking for a fabulous mani/pedi, go to Blondis - you will be happy you did.
Absolutely amazing place. Kimji is a god send. I went in with a horrible gel manicure that got botched at a different salon and I left with practically completely different hands. I think I finally found my permanent spot
Nice clean place
Has been a favorite for two years but too often Ill come in, someone will start my nails, and then just walk away to start and finish someone else who walked in after me. Im guessing that person had an appointment but their lack of verbal communication is very frustrating. Also, dont start someone if you cant finish them or no one is available to pickup. Its not fun sitting with your feet soaking wet for 30+ minutes wondering whats going on. This almost always happens on Saturday. I wish I could talk to the owner about the frequent situation.
My favorite nail place. Great staff, awesome job.
Excellent environment
