55 Street UV Nail & Spa (55 UV Nail & Spa) 141 East 55th Street, Manhattan, New York 10022

"Terrible tipping culture at this salon. Tipping should be commensurate with the service provided. They split the service among different staff and force you to tip each staff for services that could have been done by one person."

"The best nail salon in Manhattan! They do anything here, new construction. Massage, pedicure manicure im doing acrilic they number one. And Cindy and all the team is amazing! Thank you Katy ( manager) for taking care of me."

"Consistently good service and they are incredibly accommodating. Used to travel here from east Harlem and this is still my spot now that I live in the Bronx. Started going here right after the pandemic, because I was so done with unsanitary salons. They kept up with Covid precautions for a while, and even post Covid they are very sanitary and professional."

"My technician was Wendy. Amazing hands for massage but very sloppy at doing my nails. I had an appointment, but I felt rushed since many customers arrived and asked for service without booking first. I don’t like my nails at all, they have many imperfections (see pictures) and Wendy did not check on them before sending me home. Plus, I asked for thick gel (acrylic) and got normal gel …"

"4.5 stars. I went and got a pedicure here for the first time after work on Thursday and very much enjoyed the service. The salon is spacious, bright and clean. The front of the salon has a small waiting area and the manicure chairs while the back has all of the massage chairs for pedicures. As soon as I walked in I was greeted warmly by Kelly (I think that was her name). They provide a variety of nail services but I opted for the regular pedicure. After I picked out my nail color she walked me over to the back area and introduced me to Wasabi, the technician who would be doing my pedicure. They both made sure I was comfortable and that my massage chair was at the right angle, distance (I have short legs) and that the settings were right before starting my pedicure. Man, what service! My pedicure was really great. I even got a five minute back massage at the end. Kelly came by a couple of times to check on me. And as I was about to leave she even offered to wrap my feet so that my new polish would not be chipped on my way home. I've never felt so well cared for in a nail salon! Plus, there's free WiFi and if you check in with Yelp you get $5 gift card. What's not to like?"
