Miz Nail Plaza

I recently moved to the UES and was in need of a place to get my nails done (forewarning: I have very high standards for what I expect in a nail salon).
Miz has an amazing interior and is right by my apartment. I got a manicure and pedicure done. They had Essie and OPI color selection with Formula X color selections for an extra charge.
Overall, the pedicure was great. They had an amazing scrub that I really enjoyed, and the massage chair was really comfortable. I will note, however, that they could have scrubbed my feet for a bit longer.
The manicure left me wanting. My nails were not painted the best (the ends on some of my nails look undone), and I do not believe my nails had dried long enough because both of my thumb nails started to move around as I was walking home. The insides of the nail dryer also felt oily and greasy (I recommend to the owners to wipe down the interiors of the nail dryer after each use).
Overall, minus tip (that I was able to ask to be put on my card as they do prefer tips in cash), it was $ 28.50 including tax and the deal they have on Monday thru Thursday (30% off on pedicure with a manicure).
I will still visit this place again as it is right by my apartment, the price is unbeatable (especially in UES) and I did have a good experience overall (they gave me a mini neck massage as I was drying my nails), but I am going to ask for a different manicurist, insist that I dry my nails longer, and recommend to the owners that they have all of their workers wipe down the interiors of the nail dryer after each use.

The manicurist worked carefully and did a perfect job!
Mani/​Pedi discounted after 7PM!

Love Miz Nails! All of the nail technicians are super sweet and they have a weekday evenings mani-​pedi special. There’s a great selection of colors/​products and extra perks you don’t always see elsewhere (e.g., a coffee leg scrub and moisturizing heel wrap during standard pedi). It’s a clean and relaxed atmosphere for an overall pleasant pampering experience :-)

Great place to get a manicure and pedicure. The workers are really nice and the place seemed pretty clean. Good place to try out!

In love with this nail salon. Best mani-​pedi I have gotten so far for such a good price. I came here at night and honestly I will never go to any nail salon during the day. Perfect for an after work treat.

Finally giving Miz a well-​deserved review since they’re my favorite nail salon in the area. They have a really good late-​night special if you pay in cash — for a mani/​pedi it’s $ 23, I think, which is amazing for city standards. Not to mention, most of the time when I go here I come late and end up being the last person there; however, I’ve never once felt rushed and am always assured to take the time to let my nails dry. This solidified why I like them so much as when I’ve gone to the other nail salon nearby that has late hours I felt rushed and like I was just another person in their crammed space.
Miz has a pretty and spacious atmosphere and they have nice additions to their pedis at no extra cost (coffee scrub and paraffin wax for your heels). I’ve never been disappointed by any of the manis/​pedis I’ve had here and that’s impressive given how picky I am when it comes to how my nails/​cuticles are done. I will say I probably wouldn’t get Shellac here again as it only lasted a few days BUT I also must caveat that with the fact that my gel manis usually only stay for a week no matter where I go.
Definitely recommend this place!

I love everything about Miz Nails. I recently moved to the UES and previously had acrylics on my nails. I soon learned that no one on the UES was able to fill them. Frustrated, I found myself at the doors of Miz Nails and received the best customer service from Elizabeth, the owner. She filled my acrylics once but discussed with me my other options for the next time. She ended up doing silk wraps on my nails and I was just as happy. But she also recently convinced me to take off the artificial nail extensions after my wedding and let my real nails breath for the first time in about 10 years. I honestly cannot thank her enough for all she has done for me in just 2 ½ months of me being a customer. Her whole staff is extremely friendly and they all remember a familiar face, which makes me feel right at home! Also, I guess I should mention the fact that my manicures and pedicures are always exceeding expectations! :)

I was so excited to come here. Finally a place in my area that uses the wonderful Formula X nail line. The young lady who did my pedi was great and so were the fellow customers. Know who isn’t great? Management. First, they charge $ 7 extra — for each Mani and Pedi — if you use a Formula X nail color. That’s $ 15 (with tax) extra just for a nail color brand. Even worse — there is no mention of this in writing. Just a surprise surcharge at the end.
At least have the decency to put up a freakin’ sign alerting people to the extra cost!
And the place is clearly not sterile. No evidence of UV cleaning or fresh packets of nail clippers/​cuticle trimmers/​etc. GROSS!
And the pedicure basin was not cleaned after each customer’s use.
Where is the Department of Health???

A guy friendly nail salon. I went in a day before my big presentation at work to clean up. I felt very comfortable and I was surprised i wasn’t the only guy there.

Professional, clean, great customer service, went above and beyond my expectations… what more can I say (I already booked my next appointment!)
If you want a manicure and pedicure done right then go to Miz Nails– I have heard from my friends that this was the new trending nail salon in New York and it did not disappoint. This is one of the few nail salons in new York that isn’t dingy, the staff is actually friendly, and my nails don’t chip after an hour.
Definitely coming back!

Come here to get your toes butchered. Cut me 3 times on my one big toe. Would give negative stars. I can’t do much for a few days feeling the burn anytime my feet sweat. Also what is the deal with foot scrub that looks like dirt or coffee grounds. Definitely should change that. The one lady in the front is the only one holding this business together. Everyone who came in requested her. She needs to train the rest of the staff. Will not be returning.

This is the absolute worst nail salon and customer service I have ever had. My nail got messed up and when I asked them to remove the polish and fix it the woman spas no she was in a hurry and just painted over it badly.
First I came in and I’ve been here about 6 times and the nail polish is thinned out so it doesn’t stay on long but for a pedicure it does the job. I’ve always paid cash. It’s $ 19 have 7pm.
I went tonight and I’m used to them not having people pay tax if they use cash and o pay with a credit card and get charged $ 28.50!!! There is no sign of that anywhere .
Don’t come here ever. I would give it zero stars if I was allowed to.

My sister and I came here the day before her wedding for mani/​pedis. We decided to splurge on spa pedis for the occasion, and man were they worth it! My sister had the chamomile and I, the cinnamon. So insanely relaxing, and my feet look like a million bucks. Love that the pedicures are all natural («edible»). Manicures also amazing and relaxing. Will definitely be back!

Friendly efficient staff. Salon is bright, clean and modern. Really pleased with my mani pedi and will definitely return!

My review for this salon is two-​fold. I have been several times as I live two blocks away. I have had about half good times and half bad times. The reason why I keep going back is because of their cheap mani-​pedi deals after 7pm. A pedi is $ 19, and a mani-​pedi is $ 22. It truly depends on which nail technician you get. If you go, ask for either Migma or the owners daughter. Unfortunately, I have received poor pedicures from the owner on more than one occasion, and I have seen other people in the salon unhappy with her work, yet she refused to fix it.
All in all, I would rather they charge more for their pedicures (regular price) and give a higher quality service.

I decided to give this place a try instead of going to my usual nail salon, bad idea. My technician couldn’t control the nail file and kept scratching my fingers and hands with the file and her own nails. She was extremely rough to the point that she cut my cuticle on my left hand so badly that it was bleeding. All she said was ‘sorry’. Then she wanted to put liquid styptic on it. I refused and decided to leave. Bottom line: I left with an unfinished manicure and a bleeding finger. I will NEVER go to Miz Nails again.

I wanted to give this place a try after all of the other reviews but my nail technician was absolutely horrible. I purchased the Groupon deal like most but upgraded to a gel manicure. Here’s what she did WRONG:
— ⁸⁄₁₀ nails are CROOKED because of her constantly talking to other technicians while working on me. (I later corrected them myself at home)
— I asked her very politely to please clean under my nails to which she gave me an attitude about. I’ve never even had to ask someone to do this in the past — this is standard for any manicure. I was totally baffled.
— I also had to ask her to take out my cuticles after her not even bothering to ask me if I wanted them taken off. She did a bad job at it and as a result, I’ll have to get another gel manicure in a week.
— The 10 minute massage that’s included in the deal was completely effortless. I’m not asking for an amazing massage but you shouldn’t be taking breaks to gossip or beat up my legs with your fists out of pure laziness in not wanting to rub.
— The worst part of the pedicure was her buffing. I keep on top of exfoliating the soles of my feet daily but she spent MAYBE 5 seconds on each heel. The lady next to her was going to town on a customer and I was wishing the entire time that I had her instead. My feet were in exactly the same condition as they were when I left minus the fresh paint job.
I suggest getting a good nail technician before you make any appointments as I clearly had the worst one available. I will never be returning to this nail salon again.

Love this place. I thought of getting a mani pedi closer to my place and cheaper but you get what you pay for, so i stuck with my plan of redeeming my groupon at Miz. They are thorough and make sure time is taken to enhance your relaxing experience. The coffee scrub pedi is everything. Trying to have mani pedis on the regs so i will be back with some friends.

I feel like after my experience tonight, I came on an off night. After reading the many positive reviews of this salon, I went online and found a Groupon for a mani/​pedi plus a 10 minute foot massage! I was so excited as I haven’t treated myself since last summer and since the reviews were great, I could use this time and relax. Thinking about my appointment was the only thing getting me through the workday and I was excited to be pampered. I decided to go to this salon because unlike many other places in this city, they rush you out and not do a good job– I was wrong.
When it was time to do my nails, it was a packed house, which is always good for business and because of the reviews, I knew it was still going to be ok.
I picked my colors and wasn’t even fully seated when the woman grabbed my hand and started taking the nail polish off. I made a joke as to how I wasn’t seated yet, but it seems like she had another thing on the mind and I wasn’t it. Not a problem, people have their days. My manicure was good and I was excited to get to the pedicure. I’m not sure if the woman I had ever gave a soothing pedicure since the scrub and massage was her just running/​gripping her hands up and down my legs for 10 mins. When it came time for the polish, there was an older woman who swooped in and said she was going to finish my polish. This was when things got weird. My original woman who did my nails and most of the pedicure was gone. If she would have told me, I’d of given her tip then and there rather than waiting until the end (which I’ve always done). When I saw my toes at the end, they were messy and thin. It looked like the second woman rushed through and didn’t bother because there were other people waiting. I sat and waited for my friend and when I realized what my toes looked like and was missing some color on one. I went over and asked to see my color. When the woman asked why, I showed her how my one toe wasn’t painted like the rest, it was pale and not as thick as the color on my other toes were. She shrugged and kept working on the other girls who walked in 10 mins before. She never even offered to touch it up afterwards. I sat there and DID my own toes on the seat next to hers. No one offered to help.
When I went back to my friend, another woman (who was never even helping me) asked when I was going to leave tip. I was shocked. I said, «I’m not even done, my friend is still drying.» I would NEVER leave without giving a tip, no matter how the service was. I was so offended and went back over with my tip as I was leaving.
I was very disappointed with the service and after everything, it seems like an ok place, but the way I was treated, I do not think I’ll be back. I was really looking forward to this moment of indulgence since my new job doesn’t allow much down time. I am angry I spent my money here when I could have had better service elsewhere. I’m sure it was just an off night, but I do not want to take my chances again.

Perfect start to a fabulous girls day. Came to Miz the other day with a group of friends on my Birthday weekend and I will definitely return. We got mani pedis and from start to finish the service was professional with great attention to detail. The light airy salon has a wonderful upscale feel and current renovations promise an even more welcoming storefront with plans for free wifi and all-​natural beauty spa treatments. Large windows, comfortable massage chairs and an excellent array of services and polishes are assets to this great salon.
It has been a week since my visit and my nails look as if they were done yesterday! PRO TIP: don’t skip the pedicure, the coffee scrub and massage are divine!
