Hana Nails

I loved this salon — I was going for years. It wasn’t fancy, but it was clean and efficient. Unfortunately, it has closed down. The space is now empty.

Came here for a mani/​pedi and had a bad experience. I think I was there for a total for 25 minutes and spent half of it drying my nails. My nails were barely cleaned, and I honestly would have done a better job myself. For my pedicure, my nails were only soaked for 2 minutes, how is that enough time?
The staff were not friendly and spoke a different language the entire time. The only time they spoke was when I was paying and said the tip had to be at least $ 5. $ 5 for good service is completely fine BUT I thought it was absurd they expected that. I unhappily complied but will never come back!
Don’t waste your time here, go to the salon across the street!

fast. friendly. professional. clean. affordable. experienced. Bibi was wonderful! She was so warm and easy to talk with. She really put a lot of care into her work and had a great attention to detail. I’ve been searching for a reliable nail salon in NYC and I think I’ve found it. The place is so big and bright on the inside. Everyone was very upbeat and seemingly highly skilled. They offer a great price during the weekdays for a mani/​pedi and gladly take walk-​ins. I am so pleased with my nail experience! xie xie nimen pengyou!

My hotel recommended this place to get a pedicure. I’ll admit it’s not very pressure to look at but I had a wonderful pedicure and shoulder massage! My manicurist was very professional, made me feel comfortable and did an awesome leg/​foot massage. The rest of the staff was great too, one guy even tied my shoes for me– if you don’t mind the ambiance, or lack there of I recommend Hana Nail Spa.

Dirty place and no one spoke English. The guy basically painted my toes for my pedicure! He forgot to scrub my feet. The place was hot and dirty. There were 2 other nice places on the same block. I would just go there if you are looking for a nail place and skip this one. Also they added another $ 1 so I asked why it was a different price they said tax. What I never heard of that the price set always includes tax. What they just add $ 1 that is not even the correct amount of tax. If they do this to everyone a day they probably make another $ 100 a day!

Was looking for a good nail salon nearby and chanced upon this modest place… and what a find! Prompt professional service with pleasant staff, reasonably priced and great manicure! This will be my go-​to place from now on!

I’ve been to many nail places but here they treat you like you’re nothing. My manicurist, a very mean-​looking woman, when I gave her a tip (which was about 15%) gave me a dirty look and didn’t pick it up off the table. I asked her if she wanted it and she snapped,“Tips, Tips, Tips… more tips”. Besides her doing a fast, slipshod, sloppy job… I thought i was being kind to give her 15%…but they are the worst aspect of grubby without quality. I will never go here again – and luckily there are plenty more nail places right in the neighborhood — which I’m sure would appreciate more business.

Last time I went in I asked for a gel manicure and they combined a bunch of their different service prices to create a price. For a nail salon in midtown, they should keep the price menu current. The nail techs were rude about it, making it an uncomfortable and awkward experience. The manicure was rushed and done poorly. A price menu on the wall would be helpful – definitely recommend clarifying the price and service before sitting with a nail tech.

Love this place! I have been coming here for 3 years and they have done a great job. Fast and cheap (25 $ mani-​pedi). Not the most luxurious of salons, but they are always friendly and it’s clean.

Not such a good experience. Asked for a gel french manicure. Technician ignored the french part until it was too late. Also, nails left with ragged edges. Made the mistake of asking for a chair massage. Technician was half turned around, since she wouldn’t stop chatting with her coworkers throughout, giving me a weirdly asymmetrical massage that didn’t end up helping me much. Also, was staring at a peeled patch on the wallpaper that looked moldy. Generally place didn’t seem very clean — overflowing trash bins at 11am. People here don’t seem to care very much.

Terrible place! First off, before she even started my manicure she wanted me to pay, which is fine, but then she wanted me to pay tip before she even finished painting my nails. In the end, she just stood there waiting for a tip. I understand tip is something people expect, and deserve ONLY if they do a good job. She demanded tip, and i tried to tell her AFTER i gave her a tip, that for future please finish the job before you ask for a tip and she just walked away as I was talking. I told the owner and he didn’t really care too much. In terms of the actual job, it was REALLY sloppy job. she did in rush and sides of nails are not even painted. I could do a better job myself than she did.
Please avoid this place.

Stopped in for a wax when I was in the city for a few hours after a red eye. Mandy, my esthetician, noted how bedraggled I looked and offered a 10 min chair massage. Best $ 10 I’ve ever spent. Seriously.

I just moved out of the Midtown East area and I’ll definitely miss going to Hana nails more than anything. You can’t beat their prices and they do a great job. They’re fast, friendly and efficient. The owner is the sweetest older man and always makes you feel welcomed. I’m not sure what the other reviewer is talking about as I’ve gotten my nails done at this salon for 7 years and have never had a bad experience. Now my challenge is to find a place in my new neighborhood that can compare… sigh

This place is TERRIBLE. Beware. I will never step foot in this establishment ever again. I went in to get a manicure and the woman look so flustered, as if I asked her to do my taxes or something. She hastily had me choose a color and then proceeded to do a rapid-​fire manicure. Not sure if she was trying to qualify for the manicure speed olympics but she was horrendous. She did sloppy work and barely paid attention. When I asked for a third coat (the polish was very light) she groaned and agreed. Excuse me!
She was sloppy, too fast and could care less.

Great place, even though it’s tiny. I usually just come here for the eyebrow waxing. It’s quick, easy and only $ 7.50. Can’t beat these prices in NYC. (Trust me, I’ve paid much more and gotten awful waxing jobs, so I highly recommend this place.) They also have other waxing services and mani/​pedi for reasonable prices.

OK so it can be crowded after work and the décor isn’t the newest… but I have been coming here for 4 years and these ladies rock!
Not only do they price fairly, ($ 30 half leg wax, $ 9 manicure, $ 14 lip & eyebrow together) they are all very sweet and friendly.
This is one of few places where the wax doesn’t irritate my legs so it’s worth the extra schlep.
Their massages are also very nice… can’t say I’m an expert but they got my neck to move more than it did after a night of weird sleeping.
