Summer Nail Studio 57th st

May have been the best pedi I’ve ever had.

I’ve been coming here multiple times since early this year. The prices are reasonable and the quality of work is generally good — I’m happy most of the time! They have many nail techs, so I’ve had different ones each visit. I did have one not-so-great experience, but just that one time. Special shoutout to Aileen, Grace, and Lynn — they are fast, gentle, and my nails usually last a solid three weeks. Thank you! I used to go to another (quite expensive but offered lots of designs) salon that I really loved, but I had some allergic reactions there. Since coming here, I haven’t had any issues with their gels or removers — which has been a big relief!

Nails came out okay, but the service felt rushed. The nail tech (Emma) left her gloves on the entire time. This is fine while cleaning, filing, and painting nails but it would’ve been nice if she removed them when massaging my shoulders or putting lotion & cuticle oil on so the dust from the filing didn’t end up on my clothes or hands. And the lotion was applied so sparingly that my hands looked and felt dry afterwards, defeating the purpose. This used to be my go to spot as it was close to my office but I will not be returning.
