AA Nails Spa

Hard to find a place like this in New York City. The salon is clean and they do a wonderful job. Every single salon I have gone to for a gel manicure, 5 days later it is peeling off my nails. It’s been 2 weeks since I got a gel mani here and it still looks great. No peeling or chipping. Lucy was wonderful. I went in about 20 mins before they closed and Lucy still took her time with my nails and did an amazing job. Will 100% be going back. Highly recommend!

This is my go-​to salon in the Financial District. They’re fast, efficient, and affordable. I get consistently good service, and all of the employees are very nice. Coco and Tracy are my faves!
I don’t love how they always try to get you to buy more stuff (5 more min massage, quick dry, special services, etc.), but it comes with the territory, and sometimes I don’t mind paying a bit more for a massage at the end of the day!
I get off work late, so I love that that they have late hours are always willing to take me at 8:30/8:45 pm.

This is my go to place! Customer Service is great and they offer massages when my nail are drying!

Sofia is the best at AA nails! She did this hand painted Kenzo eye for me by request. This is great to bring in summer

AA Nails Spa is a nail salon in Financial District close to Wall Street and Fulton Street on the ⁴⁄₅ Train.
I came here to get a color change. It was packed! There were over a dozen manicurists. I didn’t have to wait at all — I got paired with a manicurist at the back of the salon and she worked very quickly. A little too quickly. The second coat was put on immediately after the first coat, without time for the first coat to dry. My nails looked good as I left the salon, but the nail polish peeled off in a matter of days. I think if there was more time for the first coat to dry and really stick to my natural nail, the nail polish would have lasted longer. They definitely do a quick job, but not the best job.

They are always willing to take me moments before the salon is closing. Great customer service and experience!

I wanted to try this place as it is one of the few nail salons near my office. I went in wanting to get a regular manicure and saw they do the powder dip so I decided to try it. What a mistake !! They did a horrible job. The lady filed my nails down so much and they are now uneven and looking like someone poured a bottle of nail polish over my hands. I was there for over two hours and they asked me to stay to «make them more beautiful». After paying $ 40 they realized how bad of a job they did and gave me a $ 10 gift certificate but I won’t be back.

I went in there only wanting a manicure because I had 0 time. I told the girl at the desk I was in a rush and next thing I know I’m in the chair already getting a pedicure. 2 girls worked on me. One on my feet and nails. Gentle and take direction well. Clean paint job and she filed them just to my liking!
Gel soak off, pedicure and manicure with quick dry on both for 30 $. Can’t beat that! Will definitely return.

I really wanted to like this place — both for its convenient location to my office and the good reviews on Unilocal.I think my experience was tainted by the technician who did my gel manicure. One of the worst manicures I’ve ever had. She asked if I wanted my nails filed or cut — I said filed, but she could cut a little to even out some of the longer ones. She then proceeded to cut all of my nails down to nubs. I didn’t realize what she did until she was done with the first hand, and then it was too late. After that she proceeded to smudge my nails with her hand repeatedly, then tried to get me to squeeze both hands into the UV dryer — which I kept saying I couldn’t do without smudging my other nails — yet she kept trying. Finally she got a second dryer and finished my nails that way. I do not recommend for a relaxing experience or for a great manicure. But again — maybe another technician would have been better.

First time coming here today and my pedicure turned out to be a disaster. I just wanted a simple pedicure with one color and the technician did not even file or buff my toenails.
My toes came out to look disgusting, and I’ve could have done a better job. I regret coming because they also cut my skin. Hopefully I won’t be getting an infection.
I got charged $ 28 for this ugly pedicure. I would not be coming here again. Stay away from this place!

Not a five star manicure, but great value! They do a good job and it is very clean. $ 22 for a mani + 15 minute massage. $ 40 for mani + pedi + 20 min massage. All worth it! Staff is very nice!

Ruined my nails. Seems like they super glued fake nails on my real nail because when I tried to take it off the nail tech couldn’t. They grinded my nail down with the machine so much that even my natural nail got ruined. I’ve been in pain for a few days and my bikes have never been more brittle.

AA Nails Spa offers great quality services with a friendly calming ambiance. Their gel quality surpasses most salons I’ve visited (lasting a good month w/​out chipping or peeling). Their usually busy as they have a well known rep in the FIDI area, so appts work best. Coco is amazing, such a sweetheart & will work/​change any requests given to fully accommodate all of her clients! Hannah/​Tracey both are great, do my pedi’s & massages w/​them. I still have never had a unsatisfying experience. Massages are affordable & they really know how to de-​stress the body! They really take their time on the job.
Overall, this location is always a go-​to for me. If ur in the FIDI area or not, Id def recommend anyone to stop by & get pampered!

My friend and I came here on a Saturday afternoon. It was relatively busy but they have 8 or so nail technicians so we didn’t have to wait. I got a gel mani which was done meticulously by Coco and my friend got nail art done by Sofia. We were really pleased with the design and flexibility as we discussed different patterns that we could do. Would definitely recommend this place!

Didn’t realize there were so many $ 20 mani pedi deals around Fidi, but I’m glad I went with AA Nails Spa when I saw it had the best Unilocal rating. The place was pretty packed at 8 PM and I waited a bit for someone to finish their customer, but it wasn’t a big deal to me since I figured it was prime time for nails. The service I received was great and I enjoyed the care they took with cuticles, mini massages etc. They did try to upsell a lot of their more expensive services, but it didn’t bother me. I might even come back to try one of the massage/​mani combinations since I enjoyed my experience. Tip is cash only, but that’s kind of what you have to expect from this area. Finally, I like their punch card with a free service after 10 visits. AA Nails might not be for everyone, but I think I’ve found my spot.

When I am in the city, this is my nail salon. So much as to I plan when I am going so I can be sure to go to them. I’m quite picky about my nails. :) I like a «take your time» job.
Angela is my nail technician and I’ve only let one other person do my services (Lina). I normally get a shellac manicure and regular pedicure (with callus remover occasionally). I also get a 20 min chair massage every now and then.
My first visit here was about 6 months ago and they were cleaning the place top to bottom! Wiping walls, machines, cleaning equipment (pictures posted). Everyone had a task in between customers. I’ve seen this on several visits. They are consistent.
My go-​to nail salon when in the city.

Great for a cheap quick polish change pedi on the fly, but terrible for anything else. I literally found myself in the chair today, questioning whether or not I should ask the tech if she actually knew how to paint in straight lines. My manicure was streaky and there were obvious globs and uneven layers — oh and she painted a ton on my skin and I was terrified while she cut my cuticles. So if you MUST go here for a mani, go for a dark color and don’t expect a great job. They’re nice though, it’s really too bad the quality is so disappointing.

I will never come back here even I were desperate for a mani pedi. I had a gel manicure and regular pedicure done. Whilst my lady was friendly to me, I was extremely disappointed with my gel mani. Nails are unevenly coated to the point where the end of my nails feel so thickly coated. Two days later, on three nails the corners have started to lift because she painted over my cuticle or didn’t properly clean the nail prior to putting on the gel polish.
Don’t come here if you want your nails done properly. They rush and turn through customers like cattle.

$ 20 for a mani pedi, which is competitive here in FiDi. I don’t expect a super high quality mani pedi, but it’s good.
They accomodated all my requests and my nails always come out fresh. The only downside is that depending on which technician you get, they can try to upsell you a lot with spa pedicures or massages. I just always kindly decline. When you’re drying your nails, they give you a quick shoulder massage.
They have a pretty good selection of Essie and OPI nail polishes here.

This salon is my regular. They do a wonderful job with manicures, how manicurists file/​shape names is a huge deal to me and the girls at AA Nails just get it right. Some other salons have barely filed the sides of my nails and I go home with an expensive manicure but an inevitable tear within a day or two which ruins the whole thing. At AA the gel manicures act exactly how gel manicures should, rich colors that do not chip and won’t come off until your next visit. I’ve worn mine for a whole month which by that point I need a fresh manicure just because of my nail growth. Pedicures are good here, I get the regular option. Again paint and filing are 5 stars. Massages and scrub downs (callous rock) are around 3. Still, the end result is always great. Also massages in chairs here are wonderful. Great package deals for combos of services.
Lastly, if you’re a nail art fan, this salon can make your vision happen. Either pick art designs they have there or tell them what you want done. See the photo I’ve attached of my sparkly Holiday nails done my Sophia!
