JACKSON HEIGHTS, NY
I visited this place today and I didnt feel happy with the job they did. I had a mani/​pedi, pedicure wasn’t a problem, the girl was very nice and gentle. It was at the end of the manicure when everything changed, actually it was right after i tipped her 5 $ that everything changed. She started painting my nails without a care at all, the funny part was she pretended to care asking ‘is it ok? Is it ok?’ When you could see she wasn’t doing it right at all, I told her a few times, NO i dont think it looks nice and showed her the parts that weren’t right and so she told me it might be my nail, it might be the nail polish, it might be this and that.
At the end i did not get any of the free massage they usually offer, neither i got help getting my shoes back on.
I guess 5 $ was a mistake

Good mani/​pedi! They have a Monday through Thursday deal for $ 25 which is good given UES is an expensive area. I was in an out pretty quicly. For the pedi, they put this oil thing on my heels and it made my feet very soft. My downside was the water for the pedicure wasn’t as hot as I would normally like it. $ 15 min for credit card and tips are only in cash. Calming classical music while you do your nails and the people were very friendly. Will return!

Best manicure I’ve ever gotten. Wasn’t cheap at $ 36.00 but was well worth it. My nails have never looked so good! I did the gel French mani.

I visited Emily’s while in town for a few days and basically chose this place from the photos of Unilocal and reading a few reviews. I’m not terribly picky about my nail places while away from home but I do want to make sure they use clean tools and there aren’t any complaints about hygiene. I got a gel manicure here and it turned out beautifully. It was pretty crowded for a weekday which is probably a good sign that it’s affordable and good quality. Anyways, got my nails did and was overall really pleased with them.

I’ve been living in this neighborhood for about 3 years and Emily’s is by far the best nail salon. The ladies are so friendly and everyone does a wonderful job on my nails. I usually get gels but recently decided to try silk tips and Emily was wonderful in scheduling me in and patiently going through all the options with me. Today I went in to have them filled and we had some fun doing a design that I absolutely LOVE. Thank you so much to the ladies for always providing a wonderful experience!

Has a mani pedi here today. It was really clean, the staff are really friend and they have an excellent selection of colours. They gave me a complimentary leading wax treatment during my pedicure. This will be my new go to place

So glad I found this spot on the UES. Went for a gel manicure (about $ 30) and was so pleased with the attention and detail. They are so nice here and Emily personally did my nails. I will definitely be returning. Tips are cash only.

While I usually love this salon, today I tried to pay for my manicure ($ 10.50) with a $ 20 bill a quarter, two dimes and nickel. I was told I can only pay with quarters. Money is money and it’s ridiculous that I cannot pay with change. It’s annoying enough they have a $ 15 credit card minimum but to say I cannot make 25 cents out of two dimes and nickel is ridiculous. I will never return to this salon.

I had a manicure and a pedi-​polish change yesterday. The ladies were very friendly, but less than 24 hours after my manicure my polish has chipped! I used a cappuccino hue polish by Essie. Needless to say, I am very disappointed. I’ve actually not had this happen so quickly – ever. I haven’t had an opportunity to enjoy the color. I did observe that another client brought her polish with her; this might be the thing to do because something was not right in either the process or the quality of the product.

The only nail salon I’ll go to in NYC. They do a wonderful job and even give you a little massage at the end.

I’ve been to several places to get my nails on the upper east side and not been extremely happy. They did an «ok» job but I still paid quite a bit. Emily’s salon did an excellent job on my nails and they had a special too ! Even with tip and tax, I paid way below I usually Do. Emily is a perfectionist and such a sweetheart ! I absolutely loved my experience here and have been telling my friends about this nail salon ! Check it out !!

I have been a customer at Emily’s for a year. The staff is unfailingly polite, sweet and friendly. They take their work seriously and provide excellent manicures and pedicures at a reasonable price.
Very happy here.

Terrible service, it looked like first grader did my nails. Had to go home and redo my nails myself. This place works for quantity not for quality.

Bronx, NY
I first started coming here two years ago. I loved the place. I traveled all the way from The Bronx because I loved the service. And I used to recommend them to all my friends. But the service has been getting worse and worse each visit. I haven’t came back here since the summer. I started going to the nail salon couple doors down. But today I tried to give them another chance (I should have listened to my instincts)… now I remembered why I stopped coming. I got a pedicure that lasted 10 minutes tops. And there were people doing their pedicures before me, but I’m always done before they are. Nothing new. I had to ask the lady to file my nails. I’m not the type of person that tells people how to do their jobs, but I had to speak up unless I wanted to leave with uneven nails. I’m not even going to mention the manicure. However I’m done giving this nail salon chances, I’m done for good. Should have went next door… At least they treat every customer the same.

I am so happy I found this place! Walked in today and was seated immediately for a gel manicure. Kristi did an amazing job! She took her time, made sure each nail looked perfect AND her back and hand massage while my nails dried, felt great! The staff was very friendly and didn’t make you feel rushed at all. Great job for only $ 31 which is a steal on the UES

Maybe I drew the short straw. Bad mani/​pedi. They got another client while my nails were getting dry and didn’t bother to help me. No goodbyes either.

This place came highly recommended by a friend in the neighborhood. I am glad I took her recommendation as Emily’s did not disappoint.
Although it is a smaller salon, I was instantly relaxed. I made an appointment ahead of time, as I heard it can get quite busy. Emily herself did my nails and was so sweet and accommodating the whole time. She did a fabulous job and I was in and out in under an hour without feeling rushed. Emily took her time and was precise with the application of my gel mani. Additionally they have a ton of gel colors, as opposed to several other salons in the area with only a few selections. Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely be going back!

Just got back from a mani/​pedi (Mon-​Thurs special $ 25) and am impressed! I had the young nail tech with a bob haircut.
The entire place is very clean and the staff is friendly and accomodating. You can tell that they take pride in a job well done, and this mani/​pedi is darn near perfect! My tech took a lot of care in shaping my nails and gave me a short massage while they were drying. I will definitely come back!

I love this place! Emily is so nice and sweet and her staff is very friendly. Every time I walk in Emily says hi and is very happy to see me. You don’t get that anywhere else. I’ve never had a bad manicure here. You also get a loyalty card, where if you get 10 manicures your next one is free. It’s never too crowded there so you won’t have to wait long or wait at all. They also give you a short massage after your done with your manicure. I’ve been coming here for the past few months and I love it. Manicures are fairly priced for the upper east side $ 10. Not bad at all.
