New York Nails 2

With a view of the Pacific and the massage chair doing its thing on my back, I thoroughly enjoyed the 10 minute massage added to my mani-​pedi!
Give it a go…

i have been getting acrylic nails done for going on five years now & have always gone here on and off. never really had a reason to not go back, i was just going to whatever place was most convenient at that point in time.
fast forward to the past year. i am usually not too picky. as long as the shape of my nails are close to what i want im just happy to have my nails done. for some reason the last 6 months have been sooo hard for me to find someone who can finally give me exactly what i want, ina good amount of time, and that actually respects my time and doesnt tell me i have an appt & then makes me end up waiting for a half hour or more.
i started coming here more frequently in the past few months and have been getting better results everytime. even when i have had a small complaint, she (i wish i could remember her name!) would tell me that as long as i mention it again next time she will make sure its fixed the next time i come in. no other nail tech has ever said that to me before. also, regardless of if they are talking to each other the whole time in another language, i have never once felt that they were talking about me or any other customer. they are all super sweet ladies. and since ive been coming more frequently i can tell they do their best to remember just how i like things.
i recently changed the shape i get from almond to coffin shaped, and today was the second time i got them done this way (the first time was elsewhere). and she did 100 TIMES better than when i got this shape done else where. i am extremely impressed with how good a job she did in such a timely manner. AND they had the new OPI hello kitty collection which i was sooo dying to try. they have a huge selection of polishes definitely the best variety i have seen. really the ONLY downside is they usually only have one person who does acrylics so when me & my friend want to go together it can take a bit of time.
basically, after today, i have decided this is officially now my go-​to nail spot and i have literally been searching for one for YEARS now! (i would take a picture of how fly my nails look right now but the camera on my phone is broken)

Sadly I have to rate NY nails 2 two stars. I hate to do it cause all the girls working here are extremely friendly and welcoming.
However, the quality of the mani pedis here are super low. A mani pedi cost $ 25, and you get exactly what you pay for. The last three times I came here I left satisfied because the workers are so friendly. But every single time I got a mani and pedi my manicure already started chipping and peeling away either one or two days later. My cuticles still looked a complete mess a few hours after leaving the salon. After two days, it looked like a needed another manicure. Definitely not ok.
Usually pedicure for me last 3 – 4 weeks but here my pedicure barely lasted to weeks.
The lady didn’t put enough top coat. When she was doing my mani I saw that the bottle of top coat BARELY had anything left in it, and the bottle was old and crusty. When my top coat dried, I could see it was applied very unevenly and the top coat was extremely thick and lumpy, meaning it was old. When I got home a few hours later I saw that the paint already started chipping away at the top!
I also doubt the cleanliness here. The place is extremely dusty, nail polish and old stains everywhere on the chairs, they use unpackaged tools, and one time the towel they used to set my hands in for my mani was already wet before they even soaked my hands; it seemed as if they used the towel for a client before me. Just gross. The windows and vase of sticks sitting in the corner is all covered in dust. Definitely not hygienic.
I love that mani and pedis here are so cheap, but like I said you get what you pay for. Although the services are cheap, the quality is cheap as well. The ladies here are friendly and I hate to rate the place so low but the quality just isn’t there.
I gave this place 3 or 4 chances, but after my last mani pedi already peeling and chipping away after just one day I give up on coming back.

This salon is not clean or hygienic! Gave big tips and still got a nail infection. It has taken time and money to heal it. Go somewhere else.

I wanted to try a new spot and totally not worth the 50 $ I spent the girl who did my nails and pedi was in a rush and made me feel like I just should get up and leave. My pedi was the worst it chipped by the time I got home. Never coming here again don’t recommend it!

Really relaxing, friendly crew, great priced while watching the sunset go down off the beach.
I’ve been to many nail salons and this place is one of my favorites for sure hands down
Would recommend and take a friend hands down.
I got gel and they have a great selection of colors

I’ve been here a couple of times with presentable resulted. This time was very disappointing.
Appointments mean NOTHING. I had an appointment for 1pm and they didn’t start my nails until 2pm I was sitting waiting for the ladies to attend to others (who arrived after me!). I wasn’t down til nearly 4pm. For a full set!
When they finallyyyyy got started the lady kept getting up, leaving me to work on other costumers. Extremely annoying & time consuming.
Once done my full set already looked somewhat grown out. Also, the «ten» minutes for drying is not nearly enough as my nails dented once I left the salon.
Also, for pedicures they ask you to walk on the floor bare footed.
Prices are cheap. But you get what you pay for.
Update: 4 days into my full set two ‘popped’ off. I guess she didn’t put enough glue.

Called in for same day appt.
For gel removal and mani/​pedi.
Loved that they have various color options for natural mani and gel mani.
Great customers service and genuine care for your satisfaction.
I will be back with my mom.
Hidden gem !

Made a same day appointment, which was useless. I was waiting for about 1.5 hrs just for to get a full set. There was 3 nice ladies working but only one was doing applying the powder for full sets (there was 4 people getting full sets). Im allergic to acrylic powder and asked for the gel powder. She told me that they mix the acrylic and gel powder. Wtf? There was too much powder on my nails so its thick. I also had to reshape it when i got home since the shape wasnt smooth.

This is by far my favorite place to go! It’s a cute little nail shop in a pretty calm relaxing area. They also have really good prices. And I seriously LOVE how they clean and shape my eyebrows. I’ve been going here since i was young, for 5 years now and they never disappoint me. Giya and her sister are the sweetest! I suggest to try to make an appointment first before coming in because they do get pretty busy!

I always use Unilocal but this is my first time reviewing. I felt the need to give this place a 5 stars for the following reasons… One for accommodating to accept me even though it was the end of the day and they were getting ready to close up. I did gel nail for mani and the person took her sweet time. I did not felt rushed at all. I loved the color and results of my nails. I didn’t think my nails can ever feel so clean. My pedi was done by the owner Jeanette, she was very nice as well, even though I was the last customer she took her time to ensure my satisfaction. I will definitely come back!

One star for the foot scrub, and one star for the ocean view. Total time spent at salon for a pedicure: 2 hours
Making an appointment is useless. The first time I came here they turned me away because it was too busy. So I made an appointment and it doesnt seem to have made a difference. I’m writing this review as I sit here waiting for someone to come do my pedi.
Got seated for my pedicure after 40 min of waiting when I had an appointment. Their excuse is that someone couldn’t come to work today, but they should’ve told me that on the phone when I made an appointment this morning. No excuse for poor prioritization on their part.
Don’t even bother coming here their color selection is weak AF anyway. And they don’t have real foot spas. Nice people but they don’t prioritize properly.

My absolute favorite nail shop in pacifica ! The girls always do such a great job. They are very sweet and thorough. You also can’t beat the prices!

They have always been great with my nails and they are all just such sweet ladies. I always come here for my nails and they remember me and my grandpa and ask how I am and remember what we talked about last. Such a great place with amazing women :)

I’ve been coming here for quite some time. What I like about this place is that Gia and Lena are very nice and they would take you in if you don’t have a appointment. I figure since I was going to be in the city, I might as well get my nails done for a wedding I was going to the next day. Normally I would only get a mani-​pedi or a gel mani and pedi. But I wanted something to last. So I decided to get the white tips as to them being cheaper than the place I normally go to in San Jose.
I couldn’t remember who did my hands but it seemed like she kinda rushed through cuz I noticed on Friday night that it was starting to lift on the side of my nail. (Not to mention this isn’t my first one getting fake nails.) Normally these last me about a month depending on what I’m doing. But I was kind of disappointed because I could of gone to my normal nail salon to get these on for $ 5 dollars more.
But overall im just happy it lasted through the weekend

$ 38 for a gel mani & a regular pedi… YES. these girls are great & i def recommend them! AND make sure you call ahead!

I LOVE this place. I travel 30minutes to get to them because I leave with the perfect Mani pedi every time! Highly recommended them but be sure to make an appointment.

The ladies here are really nice and detailed. The services are a great deal and the place is clean. Mani/​pedi for $ 25? Yes, please. One gripe is that the wait takes a really long time and they don’t really honor reservations. The place seems to always be packed but I guess that just goes to show how popular they are.

First piece of advice is to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, unless you want to just wait for 15 – 20 minutes at the coffee shop or beach down the block. Even though my friend and I made an appointment, we still had to wait 15 – 20 minutes before they could seat us. There are only a few ladies who work here, and they multitask like crazy! They will have their three main chairs filled, then their waiting chairs will have customers sitting and drying their nails. It’s not incredible service, but if I’m paying $ 25 (before tip) for a mani pedi and they do a decent job, they can ask me to sit anywhere.
They take good care of their customers and are super friendly but not very conversational. Everything is just so clean, too, which is a standard anyways but just saying. Great place to take a friend and just relax, catch up, and be pampered. My friend and I will probably come back here regularly!

I used to come here for eyebrow waxing regularly until I discovered the wonderful art of threading. If you prefer waxing, their service is cheap and they do a pretty good job for the most part.
The other day, I came for a mani pedi because I didn’t want to deal with SF parking. I called to make a same-​day appt for a gel mani and pedi, but I ended up waiting almost 30 minutes after the time we scheduled for because they weren’t finished with their other customers yet. At least they have massage chairs and 2 people worked on my mani pedi simultaneously so it didn’t take as much time.
The women who run this place are friendly, but they converse in Vietnamese pretty much the entire time. They’ll take the time to acknowledge you at some point. I had a good experience here, but my gel mani started chipping in the same week and my nails weren’t that even. I swear I think I have OCD when it comes to my nails because I cannot stand chipped nail polish. At all. So I removed it and now I feel like I wasted $ 25. :(I’ll probably be trying a new place next time.
