Annie Ji’s Nail Salon

And now for an honest review… you get what you pay for at this place. Is it cheap? Yes! But there’s a reason for that.
Really mediocre manicure and pedicure. Barely any attention to cuticles, meh massage and just an ok paint job.
Their selection of gel polish is so small and quite basic and boring. Regular polish selection is just ok. And a $ 2 credit card fee? Ugh.
If you want a very and I mean very basic job this is the place to come. If you’re looking for quality, skip this place all together.

The price can not be beat!
The ladies that work here are extremely nice, kind and super fun! It was like hanging out with friends!
The pedicure was fast, but I got a great job done and the leg massage was amazing!
Did I mention a mani pedi m-​thu is $ 15 bucks!
Holy Value!
Decent selection of Opi and Essie.
Also this is not a grab all your girls and get nails done kind of place. It more like a dolo spot, the place is small with only two pedicure chairs and three mani tables, I believe there was also only two dryers.
But this is my new spot!
So don’t y’all all go running up in there!

Let me start out by saying I have normal standards and expectations when it comes to salon and spa services. I get my nails done every 1 – 2 weeks but I have yet to find a go-​to nail place in the area I live. I was in desperate need for a pedicure so I decided to try this place out since it had such high reviews. I have lived in Manhattan for 7 years and I can honestly say this was one of the worst pedicures I’ve ever had.
It started out with the nail tech putting my feet in scalding hot water. Really? Why would you not test it first or at least know the combination of cold & hot water? Then she proceeded to cut my nails but barely filed them so of course there were pointy and/​or uneven edges. When it came time to push back my cuticles, she skipped a couple toes (maybe thinking I wasn’t watching?) and the ones she did do, she barely pushed them back. The next part was cutting my cuticles which she did an even worse job with. Again, skipping toes and not trimming much at all. It seriously felt like she was just going through the motions of a pedicure. All throughout my service she kept yawning and looking around at other employees and customers. She didn’t seem interested in doing a good job at all.
The one thing this salon does have going for them is how inexpensive the services are. My pedicure came to only $ 12. And I guess you really get what you pay for. I just figured since the reviews were so high, it was a good deal. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this place and still yet to find a go-​to nail salon in Gramercy.

Great price for great service! I had a gel manicure that had to be removed ($ 5) and they made sure to remove all the gel polish without hurting my nails

Came in here to do the $ 15 mani-​pedi deal, but opted to get a gel manicure and pedicure instead, which is still very cheap! Gel manicure was $ 20, pedicure was $ 12 (I was hoping to just get a small upcharge on the mani-​pedi deal, but I had to pay full price for both).
This place is tiny! I can imagine it gets very busy at times, but I stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon so it was a very short wait. I really loved how much effort my manicurist put into every single nail. Didn’t feel like she was rushing at all! Will be back soon, ladies!

simple nail salon that is not expensive. don’t expect a high end but they get the job done and really fast and cheap. very small salon but can’t complain. they did a good job.
