Posh Nail Salon & Spa

I noticed that this place has had mixed reviews but that they have gotten better recently. I decided to give it a try for an acrylic filling with gel polish. Jennifer was my technician and she was amazing! She was extremely diligent and took her time. If I wasn’t sure about a color she would try it on a nail so I could get a better idea as to how it would look. The filling plus gel cost $ 40.00 which might be a little more than average for Inwood/​Washington Heights, but definitely worth every penny. I’ll go back there again for sure.

Under new management — exceptional service! Glenys, formerly at Bodre, is very customer conscious and very good at what she does. They deliver an experience and quality that will exceed your expectations. Changes are coming but the service and quality will, as has always been with Glenys and her staff, be AMAZING!

Worst customer service! Walked in I wasn’t even acknowledged. I had to walk up to the pedicurist and asked my question. I walked right out!

I read some of the bad reviews and I am glad I didn’t read them before I visited. I have been to Posh several times, and the client base is professional and very well resourced people. The staff is courteous and very experienced.
I have had manis and pedis there, and the results are excellent. Regarding hygiene… I have no idea what some of these people are talking about. The place is NOT dirty. The tools are sanitized using barbicide and also a UV sterilizer (as the law stipulates).
I did find the nail tech to be a bit aggressive with my cuticles, so I used my words and asked her to chill out. Guess what? She did.
The results are flawless, the costs are low (30 for a mani/​pedi) and I had a glass of wine to boot.
Latino music? Yes. There is bachata playing… but seeing as this is a Latino owned business in a predominately Latino neighborhood, culturally relevant music is to be expected. Can’t handle that? Go to the UWS.
Posh is great. Check it out.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. They were incredibly slow, sloppy, and the manicurist talked on her phone the entire time that she did my nails. The salon is filthy and the bathroom is swarming with flies. I am never coming back and I suggest you spare yourself.

I’m here @Posh hair & nail salon with my pedicures Suavia. she’s the best HANDS DOWN!

Tried out when I had time to spare, the mani/​pedi took a while, as w/​all uptown salons it takes time.
This review would be 3.5 if that was an option.
The pedi stations are really weird but they made it work-​you set your feet essentially in the lap of your nail tech. Thorough job and used scrubs and exfoliation tools (no knives, ok that’s gross and against ny law). Moved on to mani, tools are just in the UV box thing so that freaked me out a bit.
I have super short nails so they did the Best they could I think. Im very happy w my pedi, the two together was $ 30+tax (like 32&change). Would come here again maybe with longer nails, and update my review. One nail chipped paint the next day, used Essie polish but sketchy base/​top coat… eh.
Big bonus they have good music (bachata, if you are into it). Very friendly, offer you a plethora of beverages, water wine etc. Very sweet people.

I’ve been a fan of Posh for quite some time. And with the new management came plenty of perks and improvements.
Mani/​Pedis from any of the girls here are the best — they’re thorough (which I love), aren’t rushed, and last!
PS: The new Mimosa Saturday and Sundays make it even better! lol

The women who do pedicures are all extremely careful and attentive, they take their time and aren’t rushed. The place is under new management starting a couple weeks ago so theyre doing renovations including expanding the back to make it bigger so that’s something to look forward to. Theyre also going to be serving wine and other drinks after the renovations.
ASK FOR KITANA. She is new to Posh and I followed her from a previous place she worked with. She is very nice and does a great job!

My sister and I went here, and our manicures look great, but I won’t be going back because I’m grossed out by their hygiene procedures. Instruments literally are not cleaned or sanitized in any way between patrons. $ 12 is a lil steep for that kind of service. I’m honestly surprised our manicures looked as good as they did. We both said we were expecting them to be crap after we sat down and saw the conditions.

Go somewhere else. I had a very bad experience when I came for a pedicure. The pedicure sinks and seats are too short, which means you’re holding up your feet for the technician the whole time. The tools are unsanitary and the technicians are very aggressive. The space has no air conditioning and is unclean.

Whenever I have a few hours to spare and I need a Mani/​Pedi I always go to Posh, no matter what time of the day or how many customers they have, they always take their time with you and do a great job. For a mani/​pedi it is $ 30 and it is worth it.
If you are in a rush then this place isn’t for you because they do take their time with you.

This place claims to be fancy and upscale but in reality it’s just another nail salon who don’t use the appropriate measures to ensure that each area is cleaned after the customer.
I went when they first opened, and customer service was horrible. The staff was too busy gossiping and being loud and not respecting the ambience that it claims to have «relaxing». The nail color selection is subpar and then they didn’t charge me what they originally said over the phone.
To top it off, I had to pay an additional fee for using my debit/​credit card. I went a second time with a friend who wanted to check it out because from the outside it looks cute, but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Unprofessional staff, just hanging around like this is their living room, and not properly cleaning after the person who leaves… Spraying warm water isn’t enough.

The woman who gave me a manicure, Pamela, butchered my cuticles and nails. My fingers were raw and sore for days.
The clientele were real trash. There was a woman there who talked like she was a truck driver. Not an environment in which I want to relax by choice.

I love them! They are so caring, and do a great and fast job! They always have the best colors! And I love how it’s so chic! So me

I love the environment but the prices are insane.

Well, customer service was good, and Music even better, for u Spanish people, if your into Trova, this place is awesome. My Manicure and Pedicure were great, but to find a place in the heights that does not have that loud annoying music, instead this place offers nice soft relaxing music, kind of takes you away into another world, Love it.

This place is horribly unsanitary! Avoid at all costs. The pedicure sink wasn’t cleaned out at all before the next customer was sat down (even though the five other sinks were open) in what has to be the most misguided set up for a pedicure station (because when I think «relaxing pedicure», I want to sit in a straight, high-​backed night club bench with my toes in a floor mounted ikea sink) and my mountain of callous scrapings wasn’t swept up just sort of brushed aside.
One of the nail techs grabbed a set of tools that had been sitting out in the open and looked like they had salt stains and skin flakes stuck all over the cuticle cutter/​pusher and immediately used them to give a woman a pedicure. My nail tech packed up all of the tools she had just used on me for both my manicure and pedicure and handed them over to another nail tech who proceeded to use them on her next customer without sanitizing them, no barbicide, no uv box, nothing.
Aside from that, my manicure was horrible (uneven, pointed edges, nail polish all over my fingers) and the singular drier was mounted underneath a white box, which looked good aesthetically, but prevented air from being pulled in by the fans so I spent 20 minutes trying, and failing, to dry my nails under borderline painfully hot air. My pedicure was decent but I realized the next day that I had friction burns from where the nail tech got overzealous with the callous scraper.
Had anyone cleaned anything while I was there, I would have given this place three stars but considering I’m lucky to not have a skin infection, one star since I have to choose something.

I was expecting to wait but was taken right away at 11am for a pedicure and fill. My nail tech was speedy and diligent with my toes and fill. She even managed to wrestle out my ingrown toenails with minimal pain. That is saying something right there. The only negative are the pedicure chairs and soaking bowls. They look cute but are really uncomfortable, the bowls don’t adjust for taller patrons. Thankfully when soaking time was over, the nail tech let me Streach out my legs onto her lap and the knots in my calfs disappeared.

This modern, vibrant and very elegant place was needed in Inwood. Everyone was extremely pleasant and the fees were fair. Mani/​Pedi and foot scrub that left my feet silky what else can u ask for…
