Polaris Nail Spa

There’s nothing too extraordinary about this salon, but they do a good job. It’s one of the only $ 10 manicure places left, which is also great! It’s very close to my job, so I run out during lunch sometimes to get a manicure. They’re always very courteous and they can usually help me immediately. It’s also a very clean and sanitary space.

This is my go-​to nail salon in the area! Although the salon itself isn’t the best around, the service is dependable and consistent. I’ve never had a disappointing experience here.

Reasonable prices and nice staff… one of the few nail places that isn’t rushed and overpriced! They even have a membership program where the 10^th service gets you a free pedicure.

Not the cleanest nail salon around, and they recently ripped out part of my nail (actually has happened to me twice at Polaris), which led to a majorly painful ingrown.

This salon is very convenient to where I stay in New York. I always find it to be bright and clean, very little wait time, and the staff is very friendly. Jenny did my mani/​pedi tonight and she was wonderful. She took her time on every aspect of the job at hand from cuticles, to massaging, to polish. I didn’t feel pressured to tip but certainly wanted to. Everyone offers to help you with your shoes and coat. Very pleased!

Been going here for 3 years because I live 2 blocks away. Overall, the place is a bit dingy and they don’t make an effort to sanitize properly. The technicians are all very friendly but not very talented. I go because I found a diamond in the rough– Maria. Although she cannot help the dingyness of the salon, she is an excellent nail tech and takes her sweet time, making everything perfect. It is not worth it to go to this salon if you can;‘t get an appointment with her. They don’t even make an effort to update their color collection frequently.

Never going back here…
The basic mani/​pedi took over an hour… my technician was pretty slow and worst of all this place IS UNSANITARY!!!
No sanitizing stations, tools just laying on the work station… gross! Unprofessional and not worth the money. Surprised to see so many women in there

Horrible customer service, rude staff. Lacking in cleanliness. Will never go back.

This is my go-​to salon in the neighborhood. The service is no-​frills but the owner is friendly and kind. And I always appreciate their free neck/​shoulder massage while I’m waiting for the nails to dry.

I stopped in after looking around at a few salons, all with the same gel product I was looking for. Polaris has the cheapest price, and offered to do a gel french for $ 37 which was ten dollars less than the other salons for just one solid color.
Patricia was my manicurist, she paid such attention to detail, the precision she used while shaping, and painting was amazing. She consulted with me as to what kind of french pattern I wanted, and gave a great neck/​hand massage.
I’ll update in two weeks to see how my nails held up, as I just got them done this morning.
Overall, I was pleased with the experience, and will be going back!
**Update**
I went back today, three weeks later, and got the same service. Again, precision to detail, very accommodating, good prices. They even noticed I had a bit of back pain, and rolled up a few of their hot towels in another towel, and placed it between my back and chair.
I was ready to leave after I had my manicure, but so many ladies had come in and gotten 10 or 20 minute back massages, that I was jealous. Definitely worth every penny! Strong massages when requested.

Decent nail salon, I have been several times because their 10 punch card always makes me want to go back so i get the tenth one free. Wouldn’t recommend for eye brow waxes, they made me break out a little. Decent manicure and pedicure and they’re really nice and helpful but always try to up-​sell me a massage, which I always refuse. Credit card but tip cash.

This is my weekly nail spa. I am currently only purchasing manicures here and they are great. They last a week and my nails have gotten so much better. The first time I came in my hands and nails were suffering from the dry cold air and they’re better now.
I received a great massage last time I was here. 10 minutes for 10 dollars not bad and totally worth it.

Love this nail salon. Great service and great deals. Buy ten pedicures, get one free. Plus, all the gals give strong neck and back massage.

This is an ok nail salon. They are clean and have a great mani/​pedi special. Unfortunately their manicures last under a week.
