Bloomie Nails

Great place. Employees are very welcoming and nice. Great place to have ur nails done, facial, massage and relax. This is a place to go to if u r in the city and need some «Me Time»

Solid, clean nail salon in Chelsea. I usually get a gel manicure, regular pedicure and a 10 minute back massage every 2 weeks. I know I am picky (make sure color always to the edges and close to the cuticle with extra top coat — wait can we redo that nail???) but the technicians always listen to me.

$ 40 for a mediocre mani pedi… Nothing special. Not particularly new or clean! Staff is also pretty rude. Walk across the street.

Reasonable prices for NYC but don’t come here if you’re a HARD LATE worker and want a mani pedi. They won’t take you even before it says it closes. When I told the woman at the front I would not come back she said «it’s ok». Meanwhile the woman at the front did not even care when I had told her I walked all the way there to get my nails done. Horrible customer service in my opinion.

The only reason I haven’t given this lace 5 stars is because I have only been here once and I don’t believe perfection is that adult judged.
However, I made a point of writing a review because this place is a gem in a city full of nail salons with rushed service, in personable workers & ridiculous prices.
I walked in at 8:30 on a Tuesday night and a nice young lady by the name Esme took care of me. I like the fact that I wasn’t rushed despite arriving just an hour and a half before closing. They ask all the right questions concerning preferences (I.e. Nail length, shape, gel or regular). The best part of all they don’t try to up sell you on additional services that you didn’t ask for (I absolutely HATE that. No lady I don’t want a $ 55 spa pedicure with sea kelp and vanilla bean. I just want a regular mani-​pedi!)
Good paint job, pretty speedy work, and pleasant enough demeanor. In Manhattan that’s a great find. I will be going back.

Walked in for a last minute pedicure and was seen immediately. The place was clean and tidy. Nails clipped and filed, cuticle pushed back, feet and nails scrubbed, and my calves massaged all for 24 bucks! I’ll be coming back for sure.

I did pedicure, I still after 10 days peeling my skin.
I said that the AC is too cold. They did nothing.

Worst manicure pedicure experience of my life. The girl who did my nails was rough and cut my finger deeply with the cuticle scissor. After I screamed, It bled profusely and she had the nerve to ask me to pay. I wanted to leave immediately, but I let her polish the other nails. When she was nearly done, I saw she used the wrong color. The manager was very nice about the incident, but the girl who did my nails was checked out and didn’t really understand the severity of what she did. I do not recommend this nail salon at all. My finger is wrapped up today and will take some time to heal. I was hoping for a relaxing experience and left upset and angry. Obviously I will never return and I will tell everyone I know to avoid this place.

Great spot in Chelsea. I used to be a regular at NY lovely nails which is across the street, but this is my new go-​to nail salon. You can get mani/​pedi for 25 – 30 bucks. Gel manicure a bit more. They have all the shellac, Essie, and OPI colors. They also have eyelash extensions, waxing, and massage area.
I always get shellac manicures, but today I did a regular mani/​pedi and it was the best ever. My manicurist cleaned and filed my nails to perfection. She also gave me the best pedicure and scrub. Sometimes when you get your nails done in nyc they try to rush you, but not here. They put a 110% effort.
My friend also got a 20 min chair massage for $ 15.00 and she said it was great. My favorite part is that you can bring in your doggie if they are small and have them sit with you while you get your nails done.
Great spot in Chelsea!

Not sure how clean the place or the equipment is. I didn’t see the foot tub being cleaned or the equipment. And Jenny who did my pedicure talked on the phone three different times while working with me. I saw another manicurist talking on the phone also while working on a client. Then Jenny creepily told me to pay her tip in cash. Awkward!!!

i LIVE here. i get my nails done here once a week and all my waxing is handled here as well. it’s inexpensive, clean and kind.
my absolute FAVORITE technicians are neeta, pushpa, subina and manita.
ask for them!!!
only nummber that MUST be fixed? cash tip only… why oh why cant i put it on the card???

Been here a few times… always ok. After today, never going back! A billboard outside advertised «gel mani, pedi special, $ 50″ Great deal! I went in and said I wanted the gel mani /​pedi special. Got it done, decent job. Went to pay…$ 75!!! I said I wanted the special. The manager informs me that special is only M-​F. I told her the sign does not say that and if that is the case, why put the billboard out on a Saturday?» They begrudgedly gave me the deal but charged me $ 5 for using a razor on my feet during the pedicure. I said no one asked me ift I wanted to pay extra for a razor. The manager shot back «everyone knows razor costs extra.»
Sorry, not a way to run a business.

I got a facial here and left feeling refreshed. I used to live right next door and would also get a pedi from time to time. I always have a good time bonding with the staff there, but if you want to be left alone they’ll give you your space. I wouldn’t go out of my way to schedule some sort of appointment here but it’s a good walk-​in place.

I had time to kill before going to dinner so I decided to stop here and get a manicure. The people were pleasant and the place seemed fine. Manicure turned out good. Was very turned off that they charged 13.50 for a manicure, I mean really. They charge 11 at a nicer place in the East Village and even that’s a lot.
blah blah blah

Great job. I know I’ve gotten a manicure when I pause to admire my nails in the day-​to-​day. Nothing better than a solid mani. Not a 5 because I felt like the women were a little curt. Oh well, I’m not there for the friendship.
$ 20 min on cards.

Surprisingly, I had the worst manicure and service I’ve ever had in New York here.
I don’t usually come to Chelsea for manicures, but I was in the neighborhood and had heard great things. So I walked in an hour before closing time. The place was empty. Unfortunately, the lady who did my nails seemed to hope it was going to stay that way and made that abundantly clear via the following:
1. Hack job on the polish and filing. I have nail polish all over my hands, and this is after the lady had to do several nails over. At one point, I asked to just grab the file myself — a first for me — because it was getting frustrating to watch her not trying and being upset with me for just being there.
2. No attention to the customer. She wasn’t looking at my hands while filing my nails and cutting my cuticles. And as expected, she filed them into wonky/​no shapes and cut me right in the finger, and even after that still paid attention only now and then.
3. Questionable attitude. She kept muttering things under her breath the entire time, which only got worse after I asked her to file off a hang nail and put the polish on the whole nail. She was so visibly annoyed with me that the manager came over but didn’t say anything. I get that it’s not the greatest job in the world and it was late, but I am a paying, polite customer.
I realize that these women work hard and it’s not their dream job doing nails for little money. I still left a sufficient tip but had to do so with the manager because my lady had apparently already left. The manager wouldn’t acknowledge my comment that her employee had done a disappointing job. She told me my nails looked fine and proceeded to close the store.
I will not be back here.

I only hesitate to give 4 stars because I’m kind of a n00b to these things and don’t feel that I’m the best judge in the world.
That said, the experience I had as a walk in here far exceeded my only other experience at a more budget kind of place like this.
I got a pedicure and it was great. I didn’t get the name of the woman who did it, although I really should have. Whoever she was, she was thorough and did an amazing job.

Of the 500 or so Bloomie’s in Manhattan, this one is closest to my Platonic Life Partner in Crime’s. I was reminded of the simple pleasures in NYC this last week in her absence and how they seem unavailable to you as a tourist but so ready for you as a resident.
The staff here were nice enough with my bumbling ways which is why I did not completely fall off my salon chair when they told me the price: $ 49.50 for a mani/​pedi. Maybe the Bay Area isn’t as expensive as NYC afterall.

My platonic life partner in crime and I needed some pampering.
Me: «Mani/​pedi?»
Him: «Yes!»
Off we trudged in the cold to Bloomie to get our fingers and toes fixed up right. After deciding on the unfortunately named but beautiful shade of «pepperoni» I settled into a massage chair that worked out the week’s accumulated kinks. My nail technician was friendly and concentrated diligently on the task at hand. Almost a week and five intense games of bowling later, my nails are still looking quite nice.
Doubtless there are cheaper options elsewhere but for a mani/​pedi in my ‘hood you’ll likely find me here.

I’ve been here twice so far. It’s been over 3 weeks and my pedicure still looks good. I’ve been showering and washing my feet everyday but the polish is still on.
The manicure lasted about 2 weeks which was a long time. I recently got another manicure and the polish hasn’t chipped yet. They do a pretty good job. No complaints from me.
