Best Nail Salons near me in Upper Manhattan, New York

Here’s a refined version of your review: As soon as the elevator doors open onto the sixth floor, TOKA Salon feels like a breath of fresh air. The staff is not only professional but also incredibly warm and welcoming, instantly putting you at ease. I often find myself wishing I’d arrived early enough to enjoy their beautiful balcony—an oasis on warmer days. And with this unexpected November warmth, I really missed a chance to unwind there before my appointment. Having frequented New York City salons for nearly 30 years, I can confidently say TOKA Salon more than earns its place on Madison Ave

I love this salon sooo much! Vicky is literally the most careful and detail oriented nail tech I've been to. She's also super friendly and it's always a pleasure visiting the salon. I've never had a more precise manicure and pedicure in my life. I highly recommend them!

Fantastic service. This was my first time getting a Russian manicure. Won’t be my last. I love the way my nails came out.

In awe of how amazing my manicure is. I came in with nails and cuticles in terrible condition and Irina made them look stunning.

Irina is an extremely thorough and highly trained nail artist. The work she does is impeccable and lasts much much longer for me than any other gels I’ve tried before. Keep in mind it will take 2 hours if you are having the old nails removed.

Elena was delightful! Very professional and gentle. I had an issue with my nails after my diy gel manicure and she was very kind to explain the best course of action and recommended to wait and let my nails heal before the next gel application. She still did the cuticle cleaning and I will be honest, my cuticles have never looked so polished and neat! Wonderful experience overall and I’m excited to come back for the gel application!

This is a wonderful salon. The stylists are friendly and clearly know their trade. I have been seeing Myriam le Gal for many years and people sometimes stop me on Madison Avenue to compliment my hair. I even have a friend who flies into New York from Mexico to have Myriam do her magic.

Manama and Eiji are the best! I come to New York just to see them and have never been disappointed.

I had my first Russian pedicure and it was absolutely amazing. Every bit of dry skin and all of my calluses were carefully removed, leaving my feet feeling unbelievably smooth and refreshed. The nail work was equally impressive - my nails look perfectly shaped, clean and beautifully finished. The precision and care that went into the treatment really set it apart from a traditional pedicure. Thank you Katja.

Mani Aura is not just a nail salon, but a place where you really feel care and style. Perfect manicure, perfect shapes, long-lasting coating and attention to every detail. The craftsmen are real professionals: neat, beautiful and tasteful. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is excellent, you leave with perfect nails and a great mood. I want to come back again and again 🤍

Best manicure in town - I refuse to get my nails done anywhere else!

My experience at Toka was terrific. I began with Marina for a gel manicure and spa pedicure. Marina is excellent and pays attention to details. Then, I went to Ludovic. He is a master colorist. I love the color. The last service was with Yvette. Need I say more. She is the best hair stylist I’ve worked with. Her work is meticulous. She doesn’t let you leave her seat unless she is completely satisfied. I truly love being a client at the Toka salon. Oh, let me not forget the managers Sona and Grace. They make certain everything is running smoothly. I recommend Toka salon to all my friends a
