Inwood Nail

Hygienic, organized and peaceful. Great service for pedicure and manicure. BEST bikini wax ever! No pain and fast!

I’ve been coming here for almost two years now and I couldn’t be more happier !
Eve is wonderful and so are the girls ‚
I have Ana do my filings and my French, and if you wanna have a decorations or something painted Mel us your girl, she does wonders.
The salon is clean and the girls sanitize everything all the time
It’s the best salon in Inwood and I recommend it to everyone

I decided to try this nail salon. I arrived to the nail salon and was greeted. I had a manicure and spa pedicure. It was very relaxing! It’s my new favorite nail salon. Looking forward to returning next week. Customer service is on point. Great service!
No negatives!

THE BEST eve & her staff ae always patient, take their time & make sure my nails look amazing. a man/​pedi there always takes close to 2 hours. i travel from upe to visit them 2x a month.
highly recommend!

The pedicure was fine but I was charged an extra 5 dollars for the type of polish I chose and was not informed ahead of time that it would cost more. When I mentioned this to the woman who did my nails and the woman who translated for her, I was ignored. I won’t be going back.

went here on Good Fri because a lot of places were closed or closing. its so expensive and the spa pedicure was one two three quick. very rushed!!! if only i knew shed be so quick i wouldve refused to pay her for a «spa» pedicure while others before is took longer! i 30+ for a basic pedicure no massage nothing! im so upset i blew my money on this place. atleast my tips looked nice smh! 81 dollars. i shouldve stayed in yonkers then. its nothing special!

My favorite nail salon in the neighborhood. It’s hard to find a place that actually cares about their customers. They always do a good job here and are really thorough with their work. The décor is nice and they usually have relaxing music playing. Prices are very decent too!

Worst place ever. Very disorganized and rude staff. I waited for about 25 minutes and was informed I’m next I’m next and then to say I’m last and people coming after me were supposedly here before I was. Worst experience and waste of time they definitely cater to a particular race over minorities smh

This is my go to spot in the neighborhood. Excellent service. Today though — only 1 out of five techs knew how to do eyebrows. Why is that? Get it together!

Found my new nail place! Had a great manicure today, showed a picture and got just what I wanted. Shamie was super nice and took her time! Had a bit of a wait, about 20 mins but that was nothing for a Saturday afternoon walk-​in! Affordable too. $ 29 for a glitter/​gel manicure. Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. Will be back for the next mani and the one after that.

I went for a manicure and pedicure here yesterday. Total cost was $ 34.00 plus $ 5.00 tip for services that were mediocre. The nail specialist wasn’t very skilled the way that I like. But I would go back if I were in the area and needed an emergency manicure and pedicure. I won’t be traveling all the way up there otherwise.

Perhaps a regular mani/​pedi is this locations pride and joy service, I noticed, after these reviews I’ve just read after the fact.
I walked in and asked if this establishment did full set nails. Yes. I showed them the shape I filed my natural nail down to so they could know exactly what shape I wanted. The lady suggested I cut my nails and added tips for a longer stiletto look. I agreed.
In any other nail salon a «full set» would mean acrylic on every nail plus polish. Not in this establishment. I should’ve known I wasn’t getting acrylic when I asked for my powder options and I was only shown the color white. Another give away should’ve been the long process of crazy glue, clear gel looking thing, then dipping my finger in powder followed by 2 more times of this process. Then an extensive process of more crazy glue, filing, buffing, even more crazy glue… This process was a lot longer than I’m used to in the 20 years I’ve been getting my nails done in NY, Miami, Vegas, or anywhere else I’ve been in the world. I tried asking the young lady if this was a new technique for applying acrylic but she does not speak English (can’t hold that against her, but the language barrier didn’t help).
Before finishing off with polish I was asked to pay my bill. $ 43! About $ 13 more than I’m used to. When I asked what I was paying for I was then told they don’t use acrylic at this establishment! I’ve never heard of a place not giving you options besides mani/​pedi, gel mani, or whatever this dipping thing is called.
$ 13 extra may not be a lot to most people but it’s the principal… and the extra $ 13, that gets me! Ultimately it is my mistake not asking the price before sitting down and assuming it would be approximately what I’ve paid in the past, even in this same neighborhood. I would’ve gasped at the price then, asked why, been told it’s some new thing and that they don’t do acrylic, and would’ve gone somewhere else because it wasn’t what I was looking for or used to. I still don’t know what this is on my nail! Yes the shape is what I wanted but my nail is lumpy (crappy powder and/​or process), the nail polish I chose was watered down and took forever to dry. This high price doesn’t even include a clear gel base coat, which would’ve cost an extra $ 10 here!!!
In conclusion: this place does not do/​have/​own/​allow acrylic. The owner said it had something to do with regulations on the material or whatever. Never heard of such a thing. But according to other reviews, they do mind blowing mani/​pedi’s. Hurray.
Update: 4 days after my «full set with tips» service… I tried to ignore the spacing between the added nail tip and my actual nail bed on 3 nails (due to the poor attempt at gluing the tip to my nail!!!). Until, I noticed dirt getting stuck in the space. I tried using a tooth pic clean it out, even though this should NOT happen to begin with!!!, but it kept going in deeper which resulted in me finally popping off the whole tip and «acrylic». I over paid for something that truly sucks donkey sack!

Loyal customer for years even before Eve opened her nail salon at this location. I’m so glad she did. I’m there every 2 weeks to get my pedicure and gel manicure done. There’s a bunch of ladies who do a good job but my preference is now Ana before it was May.
I would highly recommend, great nails, great massage chairs and great price. Eve the owner is awesome!
Tip very well… ladies do a great job and work hard.

OMG! WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR NAILS DONE?! This is what I commonly hear from my friends and colleagues, after a visit to Inwood nails. I’ve been a loyal customer for over 5 years now, and there really is no better place in town. I especially love the fact that they DON’T DO ACRYLIC NAILS! I hate the smell and the fumes are bad for you. But, back to this amazing place. I started getting my nails done with Mae, who convinced me to try gels manicured 3 years ago and haven’t gone back to anything but the occasional regular nail polish fix. Your nails shine for 2 weeks and mine have gotten stronger with time.
A note about the facility: I love that the place is kept neat and tidy and there is special emphasis in Reducing the risk of infection. If you’re getting a pedicure, you can ask for a disposable basin!!! They also don’t scrape calluses, they use a super duper gel remover and pumice scrub. But pedicures are not all you can do to pamper yourself here! along with manicures and waxing, there are a variety of great massage options.
Finally, in regards to the staff: from Eva, the very friendly diva in charge, to Meli, the bilingual and quirky manicurist who also moonlights as a pastry chef, your sure to have a great experience. If you want excellent and creative nail designs, you simply MUST book an appointment with Ana or KluKlu! Check out my pictures for evidence ;-)

New to the area and found this shop on Unilocal.The place is amazing. I walked in and was told the wait was about 40 minutes. Yikes, but it was worth it. The ladies who helped me were very attentive and thorough. Even though several other customers came through the door, not once did these ladies rush any of the work they were doing. Thus, the wait times. I forgot to ask if they make appointments, but I’ll definitely try next time.
I had a few nails that were tearing, and the ladies made sure to fix them before any work was started. Incredible mani and pedi. I also loved that they asked before cutting and shaping any of my nails. I don’t have anything negative to say about this place.

I have been a few times to Inwood nails, even brought my mom. Only once did one of the girls hurt me… that was unfortunate. If it had not been cheap and close to my place, I would not have come back.
But yeah, it is cheap, and the ladies here are close to slaves, I am guessing. So I really do not get why, in the world, nobody tips. I tipped everytime and the girls were so happy, they had big smiles on their faces. I saw them once in the subway… life must be hard for them. So stop being a freaking diva. They are doing a good job, you are not paying much, so at least leave a tip.
The place is ok… could be better. Not looking really clean either.
The service is just fine, they let you be alone with your thoughts, which I like — no intrusion, they keep quiet for the most part.
The result I liked very much every time. So yeah, if I was in the neighbourhood again, would come by. I recommend this place.

I live at 181 and there are NO good nail spots around, so I traveled to Inwood Nails on a Sunday afternoon hoping to find my new go-​to nail spot. When I got there I was quoted a 20-​minute wait time by the owner, which was exactly how long I ended up waiting. Despite how busy it was, my technician took her time and really seemed to care about what she was doing. The staff was friendly and courteous to every customer there. Best of all, this place was CLEAN and had a peaceful interior which really helped me to relax & enjoy my experience. Overall, I was very impressed with the manicure & spa pedicure I received and I WILL be back!

I went to Inwood Nail for the first time last night to get a much-​needed pedicure, and I’m so glad I did. My feet weren’t looking their best after a long day and night in very painful heels, but my pedicurist worked some kind of magic and made them look brand new. Plus, the chairs are massage chairs, so I took full advantage of that.
I noticed all of the employees are very friendly and seem to really care about making their customers feel as comfortable as possible.
I paid $ 24 including tip, which I found was reasonable given the amount of time and care that went into the pedicure. My feet are very happy today! I will definitely be back.

I am in love with the owner. I’ve been there 2x and they were professional and they can have a conversation.
You may have to wait bc there’s not enough manicurist BUT I am impressed by their work. If anything the owner would huck you up if u feel any inconvenience.

After moving around the country in the military so much, I’ve made it a priority to find ‘my’ nail salon in a new area. Inwood Nails has fulfilled that need for me. Because they are nearly always incredibly busy, I make an appointment, rather than just showing up (walk-​ins seem to take between 30 mins to an hour, depending on the day).
They offer a ton of choices in nail color, shallac, pedicure, massages, waxing, etc. I definitely love coming here, because I feel like I can get it all done at once at a decent price. The owner did my waxing this last time, which gave me a chance to discuss the business from her point of view. I have to say that of all customer-​focused business owners that I’ve met, she is by far the most kind. On top of our shared love of dogs, she has a passion for doing business the right way: giving customers a wonderful experience at a fair price without the negativity seen at competitors.
I love coming here and can’t wait to go back!
