Shangri-la Nails & Spa

Ive had a few decent gel manicures here, but after the pedicure I got today I definitely won’t be back. The water was lukewarm (at best), the technician barely even attempted to smooth any calluses and she did not even apply lotion to my feet. The pedicure lasted all of 10 minutes. They are very nice people, but I would not spend my money here again.

I just left this place and will not be coming back unfortunately. They were EXTREMELY nice and professional. They accommodated my walk in 5 minutes prior which was very nice! I walked in and the place was full of people which led me to feel confident in the nail salon’s abilities to give me a good pedicure. Because of all these things, I didn’t pay close attention to the process and it wasn’t until the very end that I realized he probably only did 2 coats and it was very streaky. It looked like I did t myself. Not to mention, my calluses were not smoothed over and I still have rough patches where normally the nail tech would be able to «sand» it down. And trust me, it’s not my feet were too bad to begin with. The polish lacked a good «shine» so it turned out very dull. I’m overall disappointed and will probably go home to paint another top coat myself because that’s how basic my pedicure looks.
I’m giving 2 stars based on experience alone because everyone was SO SO SO nice.

After 2 years and numerous times of coming here I am finally done. I keep telling myself I won’t go back but do to convenience I do. Some of the employees do not know how to do gel manicures and they still have them do it. I just spent 1.5 hours there, while she kept fixing it over and over.
The quality of work across the staff is very inconsistent.
If you go here go to Lisa or Wendy and that’s it.
I will not be returning.

I was recommended by friend, and I had a really good experience here, compare to other nails spa that I had try, this place has satisfied me the most. They provided a good service, and everyone here is so nice. Now, I recommend it to all of you who wants to do nails, this is a place that you should not miss!!!

Great place to get mani and pedi done !! Especially my eye brows! Take walk in. Street parking also easy to find on Sunday!

Amazing job they have done! Very nice service, short time waited, and they get me some service right for me. Hands care, nails were get done very nicely. Thank you for ur good team. Highly recommended place, no one should missed it.

I’m not really loyal to any one nail place but I’ve gone here several times over the years and they always do a perfect manicure. Also came once for mani/​pedis with my mom and sister, and was treated to the «green tea» pedicure which is seriously amazing. Selection isn’t huge, but they’ve got nice Essie/​OPI colors.

A tad bit pricey but they say you have to pay for paridise. Parking is a bit as it’s timed and you may have to run out between services to feed the machine.
Alot of locals seem to love this place, it’s rather small and everybody is in and out.

$ 103 + tip for tacky artificial nails.
I went in for tips on only 3 broken nails. They insisted on 7 even though I didn’t want or need them on the other nails. This involved «silk overlay» gel and glue that burned under the UV lamp. To make matters worse, the woman doing my nails was absolutely refusing to make them thin because she said they would break. Terrible experience and a huge ripoff! The only positive was the polish was applied nicely. If I wasn’t so turned off by this place, I would consider getting a regular mani there because they did a nice job on the girls sitting next to me.

I stopped into this place last minute to get my eyebrows and lip threading done. I have been doing threading for over 5 years now and know what to expect. This place was horrible. The women were not friendly or warm. They didn’t even have appropriate chairs to do threading they turned a massage chair around and had me rest my head where people normally put their face for a back massage. My mouth dropped when they had the audacity to charge me $ 28 for eyebrow and lip plus tip. I normally pay $ 12 for both. If you are going to charge those kinds of prices at the very least have the right chairs to perform the service. Lesson learned I will ask the cost beforehand I just never imagined it would be more than double what I pay. I’ll skip this place going forward.

Very nice and clean. They are excellent at doing nails, very meticulous yet quick. Best part is that it actually lasts.

Get a stamp card so you can have even more of an excuse to come often!
I love it here. I think they do the best mani-​pedis on the upper east side. Super fast and meticulous job every time. I come every three weeks for a gel manicure and pedicure because I live close by, but I’ve been to the many many competitors in the nearby five block radius including the frou-​frou Pink Lemon and Shangri-​la wins hands down (heh …punny).
Anyways, they are so nice here and will even fix any chips or wrinkles the same week! My gel manicures always last at least two weeks and my gel pedicures would last forever if I didn’t get bored look at the same color toes in downward dog all the time.
Just be sure to ask which colors are newer, because the fresher the gel (or regular polish even) the longer the polymer will retain its integrity and not crack or chip! It’s key.

Seems slightly overpriced for average service. Basic manicure, pedicure, and 10 minute chair massage cost me $ 60 plus tip. I think it’s cheaper if you pay with cash. Nice place in the neighborhood but not amazing.

They took me in even before they we open for the day. Lovely staff. When I told them I was short on time they started to with at the same time on my mani and pedi.

I came here for a Shellac gel manicure, and chose my Shellac color. However, the polish they used was not Shellac but «Memory» brand. The girl did what looked like a pretty good job, but I did have some polish on a few cuticles when I looked closely afterwards. The manicure lasted well for the first couple of days but the first nail chipped (more like chunked) after 4 days. A week on and two of them are missing chunks and another four are lifting very badly. It wasn’t very expensive so I suppose you get what you pay for but it’s very disappointing when I have had manicures last up to 3 weeks. Would absolutely not recommend for Shellac which is unfortunate because it’s a nice salon, nice atmosphere.

I go out of my way to come here whenever I need a mani/​pedi that’s well done and will last! It was a minimal wait during the times I’ve gone. The chairs give you nice massages. What won me over is how well their services are done (good attention to detail) and how long my manicures last. If I want something that is going to look great more than a week from now, I come here. It’s worth the detour uptown!
Oh and … Free quick shoulder massage while my nails were drying. Awesomeeeee!

What for an incredible studio.
I got a manicure, pedicure and massage.
The ladies there made a very good job, are friendly and Professional .
It’s a clean studio and all Service Ladies and man are very helpful and nice.
I can recommend that studio to everyone, who wants a Professional manicure, pedicure and Massage in a harmonic atmosphere

I happened to be in the area to pick up a cake and I decided to get my nails done nearby. I originally went in for a basic mani pedi but opted for the green tea spa pedicure. The price says $ 65 for the service which includes a 10 min foot massage, a paraffin wax treatment, callus eliminator gel, and other extras. Fine. It’s been about a month since I’ve had a pedi so why not treat myself to something special. (I have to justify spending that much on my feet somehow). However, when I got the bill, I was charged $ 68. I’m assuming that tax was added on but it definitely threw me off for a second. The massage was hands down the best part. I have never felt so relaxed in my life. There were a few times where my eyes just shut from how relaxing it was. She also gave a really thorough scrubbing which my feet were in dire need of. The woman next to me was getting the standard pedicure and even her service looked thorough. No one two swipes here. Keeping that in mind, if I do decide to go back, I may just invest in a regular pedicure.
I got a standard mani which went relatively quickly in relation to the pedi. It cost 12 $ which I mentally couldn’t wrap my head around. It felt (and looks) more like an $ 8 job at the spot near my house. I’m not that happy with the way it came out. If I’m spending extra, I expect more effort on the manicurists part.
Word to the wise — come as soon as they open. I got there at 9 and by the time I left all of the pedi chairs were full. It’s definitely the go to spot in the area.
Overall, it was a decent experience but I don’t envision coming back anytime soon.

Fantastic Service! Clean, great massage chairs, good ambiance. She did a fantastic job on my gel mani while I got this uhmazing full back massage on a standing massage chair… At the same time! Average pricing. I think with nails you get what you pay for. I will definitely make this my new go to nail salon.

Wonderful! I go there every two weeks for a manicure and massage. The space is very clean, everybody is very friendly, and they do an excellent job! My manicure usually lasts about two weeks without chipping, and the back massages are super relaxing! There is a large selection of fresh polish colors which is constantly updated to reflect the trend or the season.
Great nail spot!
