Stylish Nail and Spa

NOT CLEAN! I went here for a pedicure and got a nasty staph infection! I had to go to urgent care to get antibiotics, and can’t even put a sneaker on my foot. As a result I had to miss a day of work! I would strongly suggest that you do not go to this place. Based on the infection that I got, I think it is safe to say they have to clean up their act. And, by the way, I got a very poor pedicure. Not only was it unpleasant and painful (she kept digging in to my toenail bed) but the polish was poorly applied. To my surprise and utter dismay the Department of Health does not deal with this sort of thing. Really??? Isn’t this a rather urgent (mostly women’s) health issue?
We need to know that when we walk into a salon for a relaxing pedicure that we don’t walk out with a disease!

Worst gel I’ve ever received. Within 12 hours, one of my nails had completely peeled off. I returned and they fixed it. 12 hours later, that same nail and another 2 nails popped off. They used very thin coats of polish, but not sure what else they did wrong but it sounds like previous reviewers have had a similar experience. I get gels regularly and have never had this happened. I wish I were still in the city so I could return and demand a refund.

What happened to this nail salon? Not too long after the nail salon expose in TNYT, this place went downhill quickly. The last time I was there, I didn’t recognize anyone at all in the salon, even the woman who seemed to have been the owner or manager who used to always be there was missing. The place has become very tacky, like a nail salon on Long Island. The staff barely speaks English, there are gross plastic condom-​like things in the pedicure tubs, and there is nothing at all special about this place. My pedicure was fine, but nothing special at all. With so many nail salons on the UES, I’ll not be back to UN-​Stylish Nail and Spa. This is sad, as for many years this has been my go-​to place. Alas, I’ll need to find a new spot.

I needed a quick meni/​pedi. Place looked clean and refreshing but the nail technician would not leave me alone with her constant effort to up sell to me. I was quite annoyed.
Will try another place in my area next time for sure. Also didn’t do a good scrub on my feet, which is most important.

The worst manicure & pedicure I have ever had in my whole life! Did not remove any dead skin from my feet, they still look the same as when I came in. Nail polish on feet is uneven & blotchy.

My friend and I came here on a Sunday evening and had the worst service we’ve ever experienced at an NYC nail salon.
Terrible manicure and terribly sloppy pedicure. My friend paid for her manicure and pedicure before having them done, and after the bad manicure didn’t want to move forward with the pedicure and they at first refused to give her a refund for the services they didn’t perform. I decided after the terrible filing job I didn’t want to move forward with the rest of my manicure and they charged me 7 dollars.

Paid $ 80 for a gel set even though it says $ 70 on the wall. They said that the $ 70 set is for gel with regular nail polish? The manicure overall looked okay but after a day one popped off and they fixed it for free but then then next day another one popped off. Also when they fixed the nails they used powder? Instead of gel. Not going to bother going back. Wouldn’t reco omen for gel manicures. I also got a pedicure which I have no complaints about.

I’m giving two stars because I like the color of my pedicure, and because it’s lasted pretty long so far. So basically, two stars for Essie nail polish — not exactly what I’d call a competitive edge for a nail spa in New York.
My friend and I decided that pedicures were in order after a nice brunch, and so he texted his friend for advice and we ducked into this nail parlor just before it started pouring rain. Standard, nothing fancy, but the girl who did my pedicure had all the charm of an inmate on death row. She had such a sour look on her face it looked like she’d been eating lemons, and if I took a second to adjust my dress before moving my foot to the assigned spot, she’d scream «Miss!» and slap her thigh impatiently. This happened three or four times.
Additionally, she didn’t give me enough time for my nail polish to dry before she was trying to usher me out the door. I was wearing flats, so surprise, surprise! Smudgy pedicure. It still looks pretty, but again, no thanks to Stylish Nail and Spa.
So to sum up:
Pros: Has nice nail polish brands
Cons: Terrible Service

This is my fav salon in the neighborhood. It’s very clean and nice. Just had a uv gel manicure two weeks ago and it was amazing and definitely looked more shiny than regular manicure. The lady told me it should last two weeks and it did! It was a little pricey ($ 35), but I really loved it.

I’ve been going to this nail salon since it opened a few years ago. I always feel that its clean — a lot of salon in the area don’t give off that feeling. Annie is the best there but all the women are great.

I go here about once a month. I’ve had all of the girls there at some point in time and they do a really spectacular job on my cuticles (and I examine them very closely afer the fact!). But what I like more than the great manicure is that this place CLEANS and SANITIZES their tools. I get really grossed out by other salons where the tools are clearly dirty and they haven’t bothered to clean them between clients. In other places where the dirt is less obvious, I’ve been crossing my fingers that they’ve cleaned the tools (but seriously, you all know that nail salons are among the filthiest businesses with serious bacterial contamination everywhere).
This place is stellar — amazing mani/​pedis, sterilized tools, and a crisp environment

I went here because they advertise a $ 20 gel manicure, which is a great deal. When I get my bill it is $ 36.75 so I asked why its not $ 20 dollars as advertised on their sign and in their brochure. They told me that what I received was not a gel manicure (which I have gotten before at other salons using the special nail polish), a gel manicure is when they use regular polish with a gel top coat. They would not give me the service for $ 20.
I went back to the salon about 20 minutes later very angry for allowing this to happen. When I proceeded to explain that I am not a nail professional and if I had asked for a ‘gel manicure’ why I did not receive what they consider a gel manicure. If i had chosen the incorrect polish they should have told me I needed to use the regular options. They made me wait for another 30 minutes while they all spoke to eachother and would not help or answer me. Finally after I would not leave they decided they would take off the shilac polish and re-​do my nails with regular polish and a gel top coat.
I was not going to wait another 45 minutes for this process to happen– so rather than refunding me $ 15 dollars they soaked all the shilac off and lost all profits. I will never go here again. They are rude and do not value customer service.
MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR PRICES BEFORE THEY START WORKING ON YOUR NAILS. I wouldn’t even give them 1 star if Unilocal didn’t make that an option

This nail salon is my go-​to spot for a mani/​pedi. I live in the neighborhood, with at least 4 nail salons within the same distance as Stylish. I prefer this salon because they have a mani-​pedi deal on Mon-​Weds, maintain a clean, bright atmosphere, and the ladies’ attention to detail are fantastic. Plus, they suckered me with the buy 10 get 1 free card! I’m not complaining – I’m glad they did! I have had my nails done by most of the technicians there, and Michele is by far my favorite. Her attention to my cuticles and willingness to make my nails super-​short rival my own crazy standards for my nails. I love that she does a thorough job with manicuring my nails; she’s speedy, and yet the quality is great. i have never had any problems here; it can get crowded at peak hours-​if all of the tables are taken, you’ll get your manicure at the spa chair! They have a decent polish selection and accept credit cards.

This is a 5+ STAR establishment When I recently moved into the neighborhood, I explored several nail salons in the upper east side area. I have to say this salon deserves A+ for cleanliness and provides great nail and other spa treatments. Additionally, the décor and music provides a level of relaxation which is definitely worth noting. Finally, the Staff is absolutely gracious and professional and hence, this salon comes with high recommendation.
