The Best Nail Salons In New York


One of our favorites: Think Pink Nails, on 10th Street & 6th Ave
Yes, indeed. The never-ending quest for that perfect nail salon -- near home, work (or your SO's place) can be a challenge. And with so many to choose from (most of us have at least 5 - 7 decent choices within a few blocks).


Personally - it' s not always a question of how chi-chi a place is -- though being fanatically clean and professional is always the baseline. But it's often more a question of "ambience" and mood, and getting just the right level of plush in that pedi-chair -- not to mention how friendly and welcoming the staff is -- than the glitter.


Well, we have some stellar nail salons in our network - some even WE were surprised to discover, throughout Manhattan. Having visited EVERY SINGLE nail salon in Manhattan, at least 3 -5 times (I know, is it possible), we feel our staff is pretty equipped to speak about salons in many dimensions.


We'll be featuring some of our favorites as well as many other noteworthy salons in our blog over the next days and weeks. Alot of these merit special attention - and we guarantee, many'll get your appetite going for that next mini-pampering session!
