Breeze Nail Spa

I came here weekday midday so there was no wait and only a couple of people working. The technician, Leila, was so awesome. She was very meticulous about filing my nails round, as I requested. When she asked if I wanted my cuticles cut I said only a little and she was equally careful when doing so. I really appreciated the level of service she provided and will definitely come back to see her.
My nails practically repel regular nail polish but gel has damaged my nails in the past. I was surprised to see that this manicure lasted almost a full week with no chipping or peeling, definitely get the quick dry gel coat it’s worth it!

Super meticulous gel manicure for $ 35 + tax and tip. And I mean meticulous: they turn the brush 90 degrees and paint the color and top coat on the very fine/​small free edges of your nail tips. I find very few salons do this but I know it prolongs your manicure since the free edges are the parts that get the most contact and and start chipping first. Clean, sterilized packaged tools. Lots of gel color selection.
I went on a Sunday morning about an hour after they opened – no wait, maybe 2 other people half way done. My manicurist did a great job overall and the owner, I believe, came over to check the work and make sure it was done right. They did not try to sell any products or extra services to me.
They accept credit cards (tax added regardless of paying cash or card). Tips in cash only. Get a punch card.
Happy, definitely one of the better nail salons I’ve been to.

Best gel manicure.
I’ve been coming to Breeze for about 2 years. By far the best gel manicure in the area and worth the price.
I’ve tried other salons that were closer to where I work but always end up back at breeze after being disappointed with the quality of manicures at other locations.

Top notch salon for the price of their services. A mani-​pedi with an add on 10 minute leg massage is well worth your time and money at breeze nail spa. The nice part about getting a polish change here is the quick 1 minute shoulder massage.
Yes, agreed that they try to sell you their other services to make more money but if you go there regularly or know exactly what you want, there’s no way you can get fooled.
The girls are nice and don’t chit chat amongst themselves in their own language which I think is very respectful and polite being in the service industry. Overall a clean, quick and reasonable salon for the basics.

So overpriced and the manicures and pedicures are always rushed.
No one is friendly or pleasant and everyone seems miserable.
Still, it seems like it’s always crowded. No idea why so many people go here. There are so many other nail salons in the East Village.

I love this nail salon! I have been coming to Breeze for a while now for gel manicures. It’s $ 35 (not including tax or tip) for a gel manicure. Every time, before today, the staff has been great (always friendly and very helpful)! The owner walks around and critiques everyone’s job — so I always love the end result! My gel manicures last for at least 2 weeks. Make sure you get a punch card (you get a free manicure after 10 visits)! Very clean and hygienic. Credit cards are accepted/​tip is cash only.
However, I have only one complaint. I just got a gel manicure from Lila. During the time I was there, she kept mumbling things under her breath — she seemed like she did not want to be there (granted the AC just broke). I asked if she could do a 4^th coat, since the polish was a very light pink, and she huffed and rolled her eyes at me. She ended up doing the 4^th coat and a pretty good job with the manicure — but it was an extremely uncomfortable experience while I was there! But, I’ll keep going back and hopefully get a manicure from any of the other staff!

I really enjoy getting my nails done here. You also get a brief massage (although the ask if you want to pay for a full one after). The prices are a bit high (I paid $ 63 for a pedicure and shellac manicure) but I think it was well worth it. No chips or weird unpainted areas and nice customer service.

Greatly unhappy with the service. I went in to get a basic manicure and fix a broken nail. She did not fix what I asked. I did not want polish or top coat but still was charged the same price. I will never go back.

Not impressed and they try to sell you extra services. As you can see from the picture, nail polish is bumpy and paint job is sub par. Not really worth the money ($ 35 for mani/​pedi). They also don’t tell you beforehand that they’ll charge you tax, regardless of whether you use cash or card. The owner/​manager (I assume) does walk around examining other employees work, but she was also the one who helped me so I’m not impressed at all. Very small selection of color as well. With so many options in the EV, I don’t recommend.

Worst experience getting a manicure, there are many nice places in that area avoid this one! Way overpriced, the back massage was terrible, the lady that did my maniducre did an OK job, then she complained when i didnt give her 20% of tip for each of them, claiming there was a sign at the door that says that I had to do it, even though i never saw it.

Karen is everything. Best gel manicures, clean polish application and shape I’ve ever received!

I love this place!
I come here to get my mani/pedi’s every two weeks, and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
The staff are very friendly, attentive and super effective to all my needs and requests. I’ve been to many nail salons in NYC and to have this gem in my neighborhood, with the inexpensive prices, is fantastic.
These ladies are great.
I even started getting facials, with Karen, a few months back, and since, I now go once a month to see her. She’s the best. I love their products. I would definitely recommend a facial here by Karen.
Very relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
Very clean, and hygienic.
Credit cards are accepted.
Tip is cash only.
TRY THIS PLACE!

I think there’s better options in the area.
It was $ 35 for a run of the mill mani/​pedi, which puts it at the more expensive end of the spectrum for this area (especially when Renew & Relax a few blocks away is cheaper and comes with a paraffin treatment). They used a metro card for scraping off the gel polish; not sure how sanitary this is?
On the plus side, the middle-​aged Asian lady with short straight hair gave me an amazing foot massage during the pedicure.
Tip is cash only.

Terrible manicure and even worse customer service! I came for a pretty basic manicure. The woman who was doing my nails ripped my cuticle SO hard and took a chunk out of my finger. She kept trying to put this blue stuff on it to make it stop bleeding but it just wouldn’t. I immediately stopped the manicure for fear of infection. Breeze did not have anything to clean my wound or any band-​aids. The women then tried to say this was my fault because «I turned my head to talk to a friend». I proceeded to leave to go to the pharmacy and then when my friend went to pay she tried to make him pay for my manicure and said that I had received a full manicure. My friend brought up the picture of my finger and said this doesn’t look so finished to me. Terrible customer service and so rude. Would not recommend coming here. Lets hope I don’t get a serious infection.

Love this place! There are so many nail salons in NYC and it’s so hard to find an inexpensive one that actually does a good job. This place is amazing! The staff really cares about you and makes sure your nails look exactly the way you want before you leave. A positive atmosphere, good prices $ 12 Mani and $ 27 Mani/​pedi. You can even get a 10 min shoulder massage while you get a Mani. I come here all the time on my lunch breaks or after a long day at work. Very relaxing.

Could not be happier with this place.
I am a big gel manicure fan but have struggled to find a place in NYC that is reasonably priced and does great work. Came in here last minute, an hour before they closed on a Friday night. They were tasked with correcting a terrible gel manicure I had gotten a week prior that had already started peeling.
My technician was incredibly attentive and effective – they had me in and out within an hour despite having to remove my gels as well. Day 3 and my nails still look amazing. I have found a new regular place.

I live around the corner form this place, and I go every time I get the chance.
Here are a couple of reasons why I like this place:
— the nails specialists are very skilled, they make sure everything looks PERFECT before you step out;
— they are very efficient, there is barely any wait even during peak time;
— when your nails are drying, you get a one minute free back massage, which is amazing! Then you have the option to pay a small fee for a ten minutes back massage;
–they have a reward program, buy ten (mani/​pedi) get one free; and
–it’s affordable and very clean (which doesn’t always go together in other places…)

Hygienic and bright little nail spa well priced and convenient location in East Village.
Attentive spa and the BEST massage I’ve ever had in town. I think the massage therapist name was Andy? He was awesome! Like a chi adjusting master, 10 minute stress therapy that blew away my expectations.
Only suggests is maybe a few more colors options, though the selection was good, as they didn’t have my particular OPI favorites. Also my nail technician was a bit new so the cuticle wasn’t as clean after manicure as could have been and color application could be marginally improved, BUT the overall experience made up for it.
Will definitely be going back.

$ 37 for the best damn gel manicure in the East Village/​Lower East Side. I’ve been researching nail salons in the area by method of trial and error, and so far, Breeze is the only one that didn’t disappoint.
A higher price tag than any of the neighboring run-​down salons, but you truly get what you pay for — in the most positive of ways.

I had a dinner event around here and want to squeeze in a pedicure beforehand and found this spot via the Unilocal app search. I also wanted to treat myself so I decided on one of their spa pedicures. The green tea one to be exact. It comes with a moisturizing mask, exfoliation and callus treatment along with a 10 minute massage. ^_^
The technician was pretty patient with me and attentive which is definitely a plus!
In the back by the pedicure stations is a wall of the spa services in cute collages made of construction paper. Thought that was a fun addition albeit hard to read.
Clean, quiet and not crowded. (I’m came right after work hours.) Definitely a revisit when I’m in the area again.
