Hollywood Nails and Spa

These women are the real deal! I’ve been coming to Hollywood Nails for 3 years now and it’s the only nail salon I ever go to. They are diligent in their work and have excellent attention to detail! I come in often for a pedi and gel mani and always leave happy.

Here’s the deal. I’ve had wonderful experiences here and as of late, I’m getting farther and farther from recommending it. Last pedicure I got was sloppy and smudged, today the technician cut my foot. Not even where my toenails are, just pumiced a chunk of the side of my toe right off. I am currently bleeding… She said «oh. Sorry.» Hello there is blood that is A) disgusting and B) unacceptable. Today marks my last visit, as I come here often for the convenience of the location– but I would rather paint my toes myself and let it look like I am a kindergartner, than bleed at a random NYC nail salon. I’m furious.

I’m torn on how to review this place because of their major pros and cons. Pros, great color selection, they are super detailed and seem to use very clean tools. But cons, they are so detailed it’s sometimes painful, and they file down your nails really thin when taking off gel manicures, so your nails get super frail afterwards. Moral of the story, come for their regular mani pedis ($ 25 reg mani pedi combo), but maybe skip their gel manis and gel removal.

I came to Hollywood to get a full set of UV gel tips for $ 85 plus. I came in on the recommendation and was sorely disappointed.
They use regular nail polish gel polish I guess in order to get the cost down which is false advertising. Apparently only the Uv gel topcoat is part of the pricing
My nails cracked one day after I had them done. I came in the next day in order to get them fixed and they were even more rude
I cannot recommend this place it just doesn’t feel right
Save your money go somewhere else

I wanted to love this place I truly did, been here about 5 times and still leave unhappy. Monica does great nails she truly does but when it comes to shape I feel like it’s just not up to par. It’s about 30 extra minutes for her to keep going back and forth on uneven nails and she puts them on so beautiful. A nice thin layer of acrylic (which makes it look like real nails). But unless you are going for square I would avoid doing your nails here. Round is never round. It’s half oval and have found and probably that one nail that look pointier than the rest. I read all the reviews and I have to say that Unilocal has let me down a bit. If I find no where better I will continue to come here but it’s just a place that I hope to leave in the past very soon. Not as good as I expected.
Also the women here often talk in another language right in front of you and stare which made me extremely uncomfortable and made me feel talked about like in high school. Monic also got extremely frustrated when she couldn’t even put my nails. This place lacks manner and patients. If they don’t learn those two things than this place isn’t going to last forever.

I’ve been coming here for 3 yrs now and absolutely Love it. Monica is great! I rather not drill my nails and use a nail file for my tips and she does what i request. I definitely recommend them.

Horrible experience, rushed service, nail polish slightly old. My nail polish bubbled up and the mani wasn’t well executed. I would not recommend. Today another customer complained and demanded a refund for there unacceptable work. Btw don’t get a massage they don’t know how to provide a proper one.
Won’t be going back there waste of my hard earned money. ladies save yourself the time and money go elsewhere.

Walked into this nail salon they were busy but took me in right away and worked on me nail techs friendly
And did my acrylic nails fast! I love this place I go here every week! Candy is my fav nail tech she listens and does your nails the way you want! This place is also very clean!

I walked in with a girlfriend on a Sunday evening. We were not greeted. I approached one of the ladies that worked there and asked for the waiting time. She told us there was a wait, went back to what she was doing, and completely ignored us.
I walked right out of there without hesitation. Anywhere that does not provide good customer service does not deserve to have my money spent there.

After reading many reviews on nail salons, I finally decided to go to Hollywood Nail and Spa. I got acrylics with regular polish for $ 35 excluding tips. The price is not bad especially for the quality. The nail technician was really detailed and went back to several nails she thought could use some more perfecting. It took about an hour and then another 20 – 30 minutes of drying.
I like that it looks really natural. This is my first time getting acrylics and was nervous about it looking really fake and obnoxious. The nails are about 1 cm passed the tips of my fingers, so I can still function with them on. Really sturdy and doesn’t feel like they’re going to pop off.
It has been 1 ½ weeks now, they still look great. Overall, I’d recommend this place if you’re in the neighborhood.

$ 35 for acrylics. They put so much meticulous effort into creating the shape you want, will definitely be coming back!

I had horrible kink in my neck and saw in the window a staff member massaging a patron who was drying her nails. So I decided to go in.
The ‘massagist’ work her magic on me and in 10 minutes I felt a whole lot better. She worked me hard and good. And all it cost me was $ 10 for ten minutes. I almost got another ten minutes. I gave her a $ 5 tip!

Great, busy spot. There’s no real room to wait so that’s a little awkward. I always get pretty much the same design… I had it on my nails (in gel) when I went in, with a picture of exactly how I wanted it. It was somehow slightly misinterpreted but turned out nice anyway. I paid $ 40 for a regular manicure with basic design. There was a sign that said $ 25 mani/​pedi. I don’t know how mine ended up costing more than it does when I go to the expensive place across the street but hopefully it lasts more than a day!

I like that they do acrylic nails here and they take their time with pedicures. Not a fancy place and I’m okay with that. They also don’t have many side conversations in their native language, which I really like because I do like some peace and quiet when I’m getting my nails done.

My favorite place in NYC for acrylic nails!
It’s really hard to find a nail salon in NYC that does acrylic nails, let alone one that does it well. If you’re looking for a pretty darn good job at a price point that isn’t too high, then you should definitely check this place out!
I came in today without an appointment and they were able to take me right away. At first, the ladies appeared to be a little unfriendly and abrupt but I soon realized that it wasn’t intentional. In fact, if you talk to them and tell them what you want, they are very accommodating and pleasant.
I had to soak off my nails and get a full set. My technician, Candy, was very patient, gentle, and did an excellent job. That’s saying a lot because I am so picky about my nails but now that I’ve found a salon that does a great job, I’m definitely going to be a regular!

Took me forever to find a nail salon that does acrylic nails! Finally after some research– I found Hollywood Nails!
Entered a small salon, not as crowded as expected, accommodating staff and tons of nail colors to choose from.
Candy did a amazing job with my nails and finished it off with a 10 minute massage.
Will come back!

In love with my nails!!!
Amazing place! Great prices! Clean, excellent service! Quick!
Quality was great :) this is my new spot to get arcrylic nails! My technician Monica did a great job!
Full set $ 35 plus gel top coat $ 10
Total: $ 45
I will be back!!!
Totally recommend coming here :)
Happy customer

I’m a little surprised by other people reviewing this place because I went here today & they had a «Grand Opening» sign out front & my technician told me they had only been open 10 days. I’m not sure if they were maybe undergoing reservations or are under new management? The inside of this place was also very new & clean with brand new polishes so not sure.
Anyway, I had a gel mani & regular pedi that came out to $ 49. I didn’t get the name of my technician but she has short hair with blonde dyed in. She was quick & fast, no complaints with service. She was also sweet to help me try picking out a gel color that matched my pedi, & also asked me if I was happy with my colors and wanted a third coat. Things I love with technicians.
My only complaint so far is that one of the nails has two air bubbles that dried in the polish I suppose… It’s not a huge deal, but it is very visible on the nail since they look like two little black dots once the bubbles dried. Otherwise, the real test of time is to see how long the nails last. Hoping they do last well because I am trying to make this my new nail spot! Will try to update after 2 weeks :)

Great place for a quick, cheap manicure/​pedicure or acrylics!
My friend and I came here after checking out two other salons and neither did acrylic tips, which she wanted and Hollywood does.
We came in on a Saturday afternoon and were taken right away, which is unusual but great for a nail salon. My friend got acrylic tips and I got a gel manicure/​pedicure. They have a decent amount of pedicure chairs so I didn’t have to wait to get a pedicure. There was a great selection of OPI and Essie colors to choose from, including some of the new colors. I went with Big Apple Red, one of my go-to’s, but I may try a new color next time. After a quick and nice pedicure, I was taken right to a manicure table for my gel manicure. My manicurist was a bit aggressive but did a great job and didn’t file my nails down too short which too many places do EVEN THOUGH I ASK THEM NOT TO! My nails have a nice pink on them now (see photo) and I’m happy with the results.
All in all, this place is very typical aesthetically as far as nail salons go but it’s a great price ($ 50 for a gel manicure and regular pedicure) and they do everything efficiently. I’m sure I’ll be coming back here since I can’t seem to find another place in NoHo that does acrylics!

One of the few places that does acrylic nails in NYC.
Sometimes there’s a wait… it’s a pretty small space but they are really fast workers.
They also do gel and I’ve always been pleased with pedicures I get here!
