I decided to try this place after I read all the good reviews and I’m glad that I did! This place is pretty affordable for NYC.It’s a small little shop and busy, but they were able to accommodate people pretty quickly. I only had to wait 10 minutes.The woman who worked on me was very thorough. She continuously checked in to see if I liked the progress. I loved how well she cleaned up my cuticles and she did a great paint job.I will definitely come back!Thank you!
Great gel manicure and beautiful ped. Christie helped pick out the perfect colors and is incredibly knowledgeable about colors, up to date on information regarding how trends and what’s best for nail care. Her assistant did my nails beautifully and was very kind. It’s a small space, but they take care of everyone with care and respect. Can’t wait to go back.
Had the best experience here today! I showed a picture of what I wanted and Christie replicated it PERFECTLY. Really wonderful place and people and I’m looking forward to going back!
Took my mom from AZ here. Very nice. I payed $40 for dip powder in queens. They charged me $60 here but did it a whole different way. Very PROFESSIONAL.My moms was $90 for acrylics fill in 🥴🥴 (yellow) for little design the price was way too much. I enjoyed everything though. Thank you. I Will be back
I got a wonderful Gel Powder Dip manicure from the owner Christie. She was professional, meticulous, and we had a great conversation! My nails came out beautifully. She took such care filing them and I am so happy with the finished product. Thanks again Christine, I’ll definitely be back!!
Review long overdue: I did a Gel manicure and regular pedicure. Overall the experience was okay. Not very welcoming, to be honest. The gel manicure came out very nice but unfortunately damaged my nails, I still have the indents, and my nails are weak. The manicurist used the drill and removed my cuticles without soaking my hands. ( I know, I should have said something). As for the pedicure, it smudged by the time I got home. When I called, they were good about offering to redo the pedicure. But when I went back, I was told it happened because “I asked for three coats,” which I always do when I go to my go-to nail place, and to make it worst, she just repainted over it. At this point, I was just over this place. It wasn’t even worth complaining anymore. I would never go back and will not recommend it.
Christie was amazing and did a beautiful job with my set of acrylic nails! I showed her a design I wanted and she matched it perfectly! Will definitely go again and have already recommended her salon to my friends! :)
What a terrible experience I had. I work near this nail salon. I had been there once or twice before for a Mani and pedi. I decided to make an appointment on my day off, traveled from Brooklyn all to have a terrible job done by Christie. Initially I wanted my nails done by a different tech, but unfortunately she wasnt there. I explained to Christie that I was getting acrylic nails for my wedding. You would think she would try her best to make my nails look incredible, well that was not the case. I felt rushed and she kept picking up the phone to make other appointments. Granted that wasnt as bad because it was her and someone else at the moment. The problem was that Christie was rushing so she can take someone else as if I was there for free. I paid alot of money for a poor job. I wanted to go speak to her, but im sure I wont get my money back and that is ALL I want at this point. Because I wasnt happy and I was pressed on time I had to go to a different nail salon to fix my nails and pay MORE money. And lord what a difference that was.As I said initially all you can do is give me my money back. I will never give you business again!
Amazing experience!!! I got tips and sns powder and it was my best experience thus far in nyc. Christie took the time and did a perfect job. Will definitely be back!
Took their time and did a really lovely job!! I was very impressed and would really recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable gel manicure in the upper East side.
I like that the salon is appointment only, clean and adheres to covid protocol. One of the best manicures I’ve gotten in a very long time. So professional very talented. I will be coming back for my next one for sure!
So much variety with choice of pattern and color! Really took time to make my nails perfect
Absolutely gorgeous gel manicure. Will be back! Thank you!
This is the first time Ive gone here and I have to say I am impressed. Christie is very sweet and knowledgeable and did exactly what I wanted. Very happy, I will definitely be back!
Best nail place ever! So friendly and kind, every time I come there I’m always satisfied. They do a great job, you won’t regret going there.
Always a pleasure to come to Christie Nail Salon in Manhattan NY❤️ Perfect work, very clean place and friendly atmosphere. A must place to visit! Thank you Christie ❤️
Got my first dip nail manicure! They are very clean, great service and amazingly affordable.a
Had the best experience at this salon! Christie let me come in right before the salon closed for the night and stayed late to finish my nails. The salon itself is adorable and has a great atmosphere. Everyone was super nice! Christie did such great job with the shape and the color of my nails - and the price is so reasonable for nyc! Definitely recommend coming here!
I have been coming here for years for mani/pedi and waxing. Best ever. Clean, professional, good quality. Even during Covid, it totally feels safe as they follow strict guidelines. Self-care & Pampering is more important than ever!
Cute little nail salon with great service!
I was on vacation in NYC and decided to go to Christie’s nail salon because of the good reviews. I was a walk in customer and only had to wait 15 minutes. Christie herself did my nails and I’m super happy with them! She was very precise and friendly and I can absolutely recommend her cute little salon! Everytime!
I picked this place because it had good reviews and I wanted my manicure to look good before vacation. I am so disappointed. I wish Christie or someone experienced had done my nails, because this is the worst manicure Ive ever had. This is just form yesterday.I didnt want to leave a bad review because the people are nice but this was not money well spent, and the pictures speak for themselves. The nail tech who did them made the shape uneven, didnt even ask me if I liked it, left air bubbles, and the coats on my left hand werent even enough to cover my nails. Pictures are posted on Yelp.
Christie pays a lot of attention to detail and does a great job. Call ahead because it gets busy.
Very calm and professional atmosphere. First time there and I loved the service. Returned a week later to get one of my nails fixed and get a gel color change. The nail fix was free and got gel color change for a good price. Highly recommend it. Loved the results
Christie is the best! A real nail artist in NY
I always like to have my nails done, and Im a floral designer, so, its not easy, but not impossible!!! Who said that who works with flowers cannot have beautiful, long, natural nails?. You just need to take care of them. Well, Ive been in a lot of Nail Salon in Manhattan and I have to say that I definitely felt in love with Christies Salon. Its a small, intimate, lovely place, they are beyond precise and accurate and the prices are extremely fair. I think I finally found my favorite nail place in the city!!!. To all the nails lovers out there...youre gonna love it!!! I totally recommend it. xx
My first experience was last week Thursday and I loved it!! My nails are beautiful I had so many compliments! Thank you Carmen and the whole staff for your warm and comfortable hospitality! Its a very chic nail salon I love it. I recommend everyone to go there if you want an amazing experience. This is my new home!!
Quick and easy manicure. Cute and chill little vibe. They even gave me a mini neck massage after which was very relaxing.
I needed a place to take of gel nails and start my own nails on a healthy path. Christie took care of me and she was amazing. She did an excellent job and was so lovely. The price was very reasonable and I am so pleased with the outcome. I will most definitely return!
Don’t go hereMe and my friend went here and just 3 days after our nails started coming off . Seriously don’t go there
This place is awesome. All the girls are super kind and friendly. I got my nails done by Christie and Im so in love with her and this place. The place is so clean and they all look like they love what they do. I found a new favorite place.
Disappointed after reading so many good reviews. Service was a little lacking but I think they do their best given its such a small, cramped space. And being told how much to tip is not cool but they must have their reasons. Everyone there is really nice though.
This place is such a gem. They are amazing at doing nails. The gel almost stays on for 3 weeks and a regular mani stays for 1 week. They have deals if you pay cash. Call before you go. They are always busy.
They give great service all of the ladies are really nice. They pay attention to detail and do not rush you out to take the next customer like many other salons in the area. My nails last a long time and always look great.
Im visiting NYC from Vancouver B.C. and needed a fill plus a nail repair today. After reading the reviews, I opted to go there and am so very glad I did! They took me right away and the ladies were very personable and sweet. My nails look fantastic! The price was on par with other salons. Definitely a 5-star experience. Thank you.
Visiting Manhattan for our grandsons neuroblastoma surgery and our stay was being extended. I just needed to get my nails done. Google searched for a location near me and found great reviews here! I generally dont leave a review but I had a wonderful experience with Christie and her team and had to share the high rating! And to top it off they are providing polish and massages at the Ronald McDonald House tonight!!! ❤️ Thanks Christie!
First time here and my nails are perfectly cut, filed and painted. Very professional, thorough, clean with good eye for detail. Will go again.
Cash only for tip? I wish I was told BEFORE I started getting my manicure. Gel manicure was decent. It couldve been better. Not sure I will be back.
Best price best job in upper east side .
I would have considered coming back here until they rushed me out the door only allowing my toe nails to dry for 7 minutes. Smudged nails as the girl was trying to put on my sandals because they were closing. I understand your closing up but you shouldn’t have taken me in the first place if you couldn’t wait the 15-20 mins for my nails to dry. Very disappointed. Will take my business elsewhere.
Everyone here is SO amazing! They do such a great job and they have the best prices on the UES. All of the girls make you feel so welcome! After going here, I would never go to another nail salon in Manhattan.
Great service and friendly staff I love to come here
Good job!! pedicure was wondering, colors was really pretty 💅💖
My wife went there last week and absolutely loved it!!! My money well spent
I read amazing reviews so I thought I would try it out. They have kind staff but I paid extra for the next gen nails which are supposed to last well over two weeks. 8 days later my nails are already chipping and cracking one nail even broke in half. Waste of money when I could of paid less for gel and had it last a lot longer. Disappointed to say the least.
The place is super small and tight. Have to do acrobatics just to move around in this place. I came at 5pm so it was busy but they said no wait. They started my mani, asked me to pay then without finishing the mani asked me to go for pedi because its busy. They said they will finish it later. I went and during the pedi couldnt even stretch my leg out all the way for the scrub because the girl had no room to move back. If you are over 59 dont even bother. The pedi chair does not even move back. I was so uncomfortable and cramped. Pedicure itself was subpar and when I gave the tip the girl didnt even say thank you. Just took the money and moved on. Will not be returning! Honestly, theres like 50 other nail salons within walking distance. Will be exploring other options.
This place is AMAZING!! Wonderful place! Staff is friendly, atmosphere is clean and tranquil.
I love the service, warm and cozy place loved every minute i was here🥰
To have the best service ever is to go to Christies, the team is very professional, very welcoming and always available for any request.You can have the best technicians for manicure, pedicure and not to forget ingrown nail.
Great service and super friendly staff at an awesome price, thanks Christie!!
I found this place from a google search. Came from the Bronx to the upper east side only to be disappointed. The place is cute but really small and they get busy. And if you’re doing mani pedi and the mani tables are full they will do your mani where you were sitting for the pedi. I paid before getting the mani and then waited for my nails to dry. While I was waiting the woman comes up and tells me the services didn’t include tip as if I didn’t know that already from the signs they have up. I said I know and the thing is I wasn’t getting up to leave or moving to indicate that I was about to heas out. I was still drying my nails. Minutes later I ask for a $5 change and when she comes back with change, she tells me minimum. for mani and pedi is $6 tip. Like okay I get I know how to do the math your sign says cash tip 20% and up like Jesus I can read. If you have a new face you should try to keep that customer and treat them well and not look so greedy.
Tiny space, but polite staff. Overall good experience
Nice please Good Manicure! Thank you Nancy
Best gel manicure I’ve ever gotten!
