Ivy Nails Of Ny Corporation

I learned about this place from a saleswoman in an unrelated business. Her nails were beautifully manicured. She said that she had been going to Ivy Nails for years. Yesterday was my first experience. It was a definite hit. I feel hopeful that I’ve found my forever nail salon. The shop is not super glamorous, but I dont’ need that kind of salon. This place has proper modern equipment; is kept nice and clean; it’s quite comfortable; and it’s reasonable priced.
Regarding the quality of the service: My two technicians were absolute pros. One tech did the mani (gel), and the other tech did my standard pedi. They were fastidious and the work was flawless. They took extra measures that other salons won’t necessary do without being ask.
I was there on a Tuesday afternoon. There was a flow of regular clients who were known by name. The parking lot is behind the building. Its great not having to hunt for metered street parking.
About comments left by two previous reviewers…
(1) I also admit, I nearly didn’t write this review either for fear that this nail salon might get too popular. tsk tsk on me.
(2) There is a funny Seinfeld Episode called «The Understudy». Elaine suspects that a local nail shop is making fun of her in Korean. An all too familiar paranoia.

I’ve been going to Ivy Nails for years. I actually came to ivy nails when my nail tech from my last salon left. She told me, if she leaves to go up the street to Ivy Nails to Joanne. I’ve been going to Ivy nails for over 5 years. This place definitely has the best mani/​pedi in Westchester, especially for reasonable prices. They did win best in Westchester in 2012 for best priced mani/​pedi! I moved over 30 miles away from this salon and religiously have an appointment with Joanne every two weeks. Most nail techs would consider me a picky customer but since Joanne is pickier then me I can guarantee my nails to be perfect every time. I always find the staff to be welcoming and nice. They know me by first name and are always current with what is happening in my life. We have many laughs in the salon between staff and customers. I have become friendly with other customers. They do speak their native language in the store but I don’t find it to be rude or done maliciously. If you want a consistent salon that is clean and does good quality work at a descent price then Ivy Nails is your place.

I don’t know why there aren’t other reviews of this place since they posted a «best of» poster in the salon. Here’s the story after three weeks of travel (some in the Arizona desert and then Europe) my feet needed a good pedicure. When «Joanne» the nail technician made a fuss of how dry my feet were, she recommended a callus pedicure. When I turned it down she spoke in her native tongue to the person in charge who in kind responded to her. I noticed that during the pedicure she made little effort to remove the dry skin on my heels. Basically she was going to show me that without the upgrade to the callus pedicure, my feet would not look good. So I gave her a minimal tip, I am usually a very good tipper, and came home, soaked my feet and removed the calluses my technician should have. I will never return here. And by the way, it is very rude to speak about your clients in your native tongue. Don’t you know that we know what you are doing?
