Sandy Nail

Very high quality service at a very clean nail salon. Lady that took care of me (older Chinese lady) was very friendly and very considerate of my tickling feet. High quality job. If I’ll ever be back in the area, I’ll be definitely coming back.

Have been going there for almost a year now! they are so sweet, nice, professional and nurturing! They even let you keep your tools there so you have your very own box and dont have to share the tools with others. The place is clean, well designed for a local business and the girls are just great!
LOVE THEM!

Best nail salon on the UES. I live around the corner from Sandy Nail and I go there every week. It is a clean salon and they do a great job! My manicure always last a week.

I was extremely disappointed by my pedicure here. It was clear they didn’t care and were rushing through the process. I was in and out of the chair in 15 mins, for a pedicure! The level of customer service was abysmal. On top of it, where as most pedicure last for weeks, this one chipped the following day. Don’t waste your money here.

One of the best mani/​pedis I’ve had in a while. I just moved to the neighborhood and I think I’ve found my go-​to nail salon.

Great manicure and pedis at a great price and they just got new chairs for the pedicures. You may need to try a few people out to see who you like best!

Ive been coming here for few years now — still my favorite because they have the techniques!
All of the other fancy salons are just really overpriced & i feel like this place is really humble & awesome
They had their new pedicure massage chairs replaced with the brand new ones & they are super nice — clean and really comfortable!
I love this store.

I brought my wife here with a gift card I purchased for her birthday. She raved about the service and how nicely her mani pedi lasted. She’s a regular now and I’m a happy husband — highly recommended.

they open late on sundays when the owner is not around. they chatter chatter chatter and not pay attention to what they are doing so you need to keep an eye on their work. last sunday, i showed up at my appt time, they opened 5 min later as usual, saw me coming but continued to take the party down stairs ignoring me. i stood alone in their store while they were downstairs for 10 minutes chatting laughing. I called down to my tech and said «are you busy, should I come back» to remind her i was still waiting. She said she was coming but kept me waiting another 5 minutes.
i am a 20−25% tipper and have always been pretty generous with my tips but that was the last time I return.

I had a very bad experience here. I had a gel mani and reg pdei. A day late the gel mani was chipped and 2 nails completely peeled off. My pedi didn’t even last a week before it looked horrible.

DONOT GO HERE!!! I got a gel manicure on a Friday. By Monday one nail completely peeled off and two were chipped. I went back and they sloppily fixed it. By Wednesday two more nails completely peeled off. I went back again completely out of my way and the nice girl did my nails with a completely different color just because we thought the peeling was due to the specific polish. One day later, my middle finger completely peeled off. When I went back to ask for my money since something is clearly wrong with something there using/​doing, the rude owner accused me of peeling my own nail off (Im sure i peeled my own nail off so I could spend 4 days at the nail salon) I WILL NEVER GO BACK and I suggest you don’t either if you want a gel that lasts.

If even there was less one star, coated $ 65 for a gel mani and regular padi, finishing are not equal, gel mani started falling in 3 days, not a good job removing nail cuticle
So many better places around
Never going back there, sorry

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SALON
I was a customer for years until my finger was cut on purpose by one of their manicurists.
No apologies from Sandy the owner nor from the manicurist.
They do not appreciate their customers and their manicurists are unprofessional.
GO TO THE «NEW» SALON DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET AND BE
TREATED WITH «RESPECT.»

I was pleasantly surprised by this shop! I have passed it multiple times but usually go to Nailsaway across the street or Serendipity on 3^rd. I decided to give them a shot this morning.
The salon is very clean (including the bathrooms). The pedicure area is very nice. My mani/​pedi came out really nice and no up selling or skimping on the massage. The prices are competitive but not exorbitant (I am looking at you Nails Noble and Serendipity).
i will follow up if the longevity of my nails is poor, but so far so good.
I think I found my new favorite nail place.

This is a great place for men or women. They recently remodeled it and it looks amazing. The owners seem very nice. Check it out and see what you think!

Great service, caring workers and they truly appreciate your business. A neighborhood treasure!

They changed the price on me 3 times for a pedicure; it’s a dollar for tax after 22 which is 23 then another tax for for tip. So it’s essentially a 2 dollar fee for paying with a card which is fine; but I don’t appreciate businesses that are not straight forward and I felt that it was very rushed for my pedicure. It’s Manhattan, so I guess expectations for prices and quality is different.

Great salon. Good workers who seemed to know what they are doing. got the gel manicure & pedicure. I was little worried at first because of the wait time, but it ended up being worth the wait. Plus the mini shoulder massage they gave me as I waited for my nails to dry was really nice!

On a quest to find THE nail salon for me. New to manicures and pedicures but I’ve decided to incorporate it into my monthly routine of treating myself.
So far, this is my 3^rd stop. Been alternating between chains and independent salons.
I went to get a basic manicure and pedicure. The place was small– 3 or 4 chairs for manicures, 3 or 4 chairs for pedicures. The staff were all spanish/​english speaking. Total 31 bucks (plus tip) not bad for the area. Most places I’ve read/​seen in the area are anywhere between 40– 50+. Very satisfied with price for the combo.
As a nurse, I wouldn’t say that I’m OCD about germs but definitely more aware than some… The place is clean but necessarily the most hygienic place. They use a UV sterilizer but don’t have pre packaged/​pre sterilized equipment. I was quite iffy about the experience because they didn’t spray the equipment but rather put it in the «sterilizer» immediately after use. I looked it up online and apparently a «sterilizer» that looks like a toaster isn’t the best at killing bacteria/​germs…
They did however wash down the pedicure station after each customer. (The last place I went to had everything prepackaged for each customer, albeit double the price) I think it comes down to how much you’re willing to pay for.
The technician was very thorough with both the manicure and pedicure. My nail polish was applied evenly from edge to edge. (I’ve learned over the past few weeks that it’s a pet peeve of mine when I can see my nails after I’ve paid money to get them done right)
I’d come back because it’s cheap, but I think for the most part I’ll stick to places with sterilized tools.

This place is the BEST! But you need to know who to ask for. Flora, Nube, or Serra are the bomb dot com.
These girls are amazing, they work hard, are very detailed and give the best massages while you are drying, they are super funny and sweet too.
My friend and I come up here every two weeks because we don’t trust anyone else with our cuticles… just ask for them and you will have the best mani/​pedi ever!
