Danfe Nails

I get ~monthly pedicures here and they last me the entire time (no, not gels, just regular pedicures). Everyone is so sweet. Whenever I go in, I feel like they remember me and welcome me. (Also, worth it to get the massage while your nails dry!)

Really happy with the overall experience, professional, quick and of very high quality for the price. Got gel nails with a 10 minute massage and it was very reasonable.

Good price and good quality mani pedi. I came in without an appointment the Friday before a holiday weekend and though it was busy I only waited a few minutes before they could take me. My mani/​pedi lasted for my entire weeklong vacation in Maui! I’m a satisfied customer!

Incredible pedicure. I splurged and spent $ 50 for the green tea pedi. Wow. Worked wonders on my thick calluses, feet and legs are glowing. Very sweet therapists, lots of local clientele. The post neck and shoulder massage was beautifully done, and included while my toes were drying. Very clean, great selection of Essie polishes. I am look forward to coming again!

I have been coming to this nail salon for a while now. Everyone is pleasant and I’m happy with how my manicure and pedicures come out. My manicures always last for at least ten days. (However I do bring my own polish and use the Formula X system which may be the reason why) They give you a mini massage while you wait for your nails to dry which is a nice add on. (Which is free by the way) I also like the fact that they don’t hound you to pay up front before they paint your nails. Overall a very nice environment. My go to girl will be Nati (I think that’s her name) I never have those stupid air bubbles when she paints my nails. They also give you a paper salon card if you become a regular customer. I have also gotten my eyebrows done here. I don’t have much of an eyebrow to begin with so I appreciated the tech just cleaning up my eyebrows for me. Definitely try them out you will not be disappointed.

These girls know what they are doing. Have a great polish selection and a great range of service. I get tips with powder and it is very reasonably priced and they look very natural.

I really enjoy this nail salon! The prices are reasonable and the place is clean. Even when it’s busy the wait is rarely more than 5 – 10 minutes. Manicures here have lasted about 5 – 7 days, which I always appreciate. The technicians are all very friendly too, which is great.
This place gives the BEST massages. I make the trek to York for those massages… they are that good! I haven’t paid for a 10 minute one yet, but the ones I have received while getting a manicure and also during the drying time have been fantastic! Highly recommend!

I got a manicure and pedicure for $ 25 and it was great. They did my hands and toes together which I enjoyed and saved me time. Lola the owner shaped and did my nails perfectly. I’m new to the area but will definitely be making this my nails salon.

I’ve been a regular customer since discovering Danfe several years ago. I’ve been to an absurd number of nails salons in my lifetime and nothing compares to the service at Danfe. Lola is so sweet and everyone is very friendly while doing a wonderful job. It is very clean and sterile and I love the parafin wax they put on your heels during the pedicure — plus they have all the current magazines, all Essie and OPI colors you could imagine and an incredible selection of gel polish. Everyone seems happy to be there and they have many devoted regulars, including myself, for a reason!

This review is overdue, I happen to work in the area and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. These ladies are the epitome of Customer Service. They are very attentive to what you want, they just don’t go through the motions when you’re getting a pedicure or manicure. A quick massage on the shoulders goes a long way especially if you’ve been on your desk all day. Two thumbs up!

I really appreciate Danfe Nail Salon. The service is great & I have never experienced a wait. They take their time giving you a manicure & all while you are having your nails done another woman comes over & gives you a shoulder massage (of course its to get you to pay 10 min $ 10) but its worth it!
I have not had a pedicure with them as of yet because I am extra picky but will give it a shot next time.

This is a great neighborhood salon. The staff are all so friendly and they consistently do a great job. Everything is clean and hygienic. There are loads of color options and I always leave happy with my nails. Because of the quality and friendly atmosphere there is sometimes a wait depending on the time of day. This can be frustrating when there are so many nail salons around… but it is worth waiting for.

Have been going to Danfe for probably 6 or so years now — wanted to make sure I reviewed them! I pass about 8 other salons to walk several blocks out of my way to go here for there reasons: 1) nice women 2) great attention to detail 3) amazing color section. And on TOP of that, their prices are amazing. I regularly get unrivaled manis, pedis, and massages. Well worth the walk to York and any wait you may have — they’re busy because they’re good!

First, let me say, this is the ONE nail salon I’ve been to where you don’t get the feeling that they are talking SHIT about you and their other clients. Everyone is so nice!
Lola is in charge. She knows everyone’s name and makes you feel like a friend. She knows what you like and probably knows your mom by her first name, even though she will call her mommy when you’re there together when telling one of her girls to take care of her. «Go get mommy’s coat» etc. BEST SERVICE EVER.
Can’t say more about Daowa and Yang! Lang is SUPER STRONG when it comes to massage. Daowa’s massage just feels GOOOOOOOD. They are my two favorites for massage and pedicures. Lola did my gel french manicure for my wedding. I wish i had photos but it was 2 years ago and i never wrote a proper review back then.
I am sore today from working out and i WILL be seeing Yang or Doawa TO-​MORROW!
5 stars because I can’t leave 6!

I just did my nails there, and I have to say it’s a great place. My manicure was perfect, and they are so nice there! The music playing in the background was all the latest hits, and that’s great for me! Overall, it was excellent. I would go there again anytime.

Was looking for a cheap manicure close to my apt and walked by, peeked inside, saw the board said $ 9 for a manicure so I was sold. They have a decent selection of essie colors, few OPI colors, and shellec and OPI Gel colors. My manicurist was quick but super thorough. One woman walked over and gave me a five minute massage while I was getting my nails done and then again got another mini massage at end when sat down to dry. Mani/​Pedi is $ 25 and a 10 minute massage is $ 10. The pedicure chairs looked comfortable and they had a big screen TV on as well. This will definitely be my go to nail salon for the neighborhood.

This place is NOW CALLED DANFE NAILS. This place is fantastic. My favorite place to get my nails done near my apt. Ive been going here for a few years. Service is always super friendly and attentive. The place is clean and comfortable. Lola the owner is friendly and almost always presentvto make sure customers are happy. Large selection of polish, Essie and Opi. *******And always the latest colors!!! The waxing service room is good too! Call ahead on weekends, it can get busy. The only reason for 4 stars not five is that even if you have an appointment you may wait for some time if it is busy on weekends. I avoid this by going during the week. They do a fantastic job on my nails, hands and feet always perfect. Staff is friendly and pleasing.

I used to go here and really liked it. The service is good and nails looked nice for a very long time, sometimes two weeks.
DEAL BREAKER and this is BIG was the last time I went just recently, I caught the nail tech re-​using the manicure tools, including cuticle cutter (gross!) without cleaning. Literally about 3 minutes went by after she ended my manicure, took the tools from my table and started on the next customer right beside me without sterilizing. I saw it with my own eyeballs in shock! Those tools didn’t go to the back, get sprayed, wiped down.NOTHING. Which means she probably used them over and over on people all day before and after me. I called the tech on it and she more or less admitted to not cleaning and re-​using the tools. What irked me more is she was blatant and didn’t care… Do you know you can get fungus, hepatitis, AND numerous other infectious diseases from contaminated tools!
I have since filed a complaint with the city of New York and hope they do something about it.
I will never EVER go back there again. A dirty place that puts customers at risk is unacceptable.

My first time at this little place. :)
Great prices, attentive. A good mani/​pedi. Throw in the massage. I’m happy. Love the energy of the place.
Be forewarned, it is a tiny place and I am sure when crowded it can be hard to maneuver around, but I went early in the morning on a weekday. 3 clients besides me.
BTW. I NEVER let anyone cut my cuticles. I always tell the manicurist ‘Not to cut. PUSH the cuticles back’

It it now Danfe Nails — but the same woman runs it with the name workers.
Yes there a trillion nail places in the city that are similar. By no means is this the spa-​like atmosphere, but it is clean with great prices and very hard working staff. They always remember their costumers and do their best to accommodate. My roommate and I were right around the corner from the salon for 2 years and went all the time. We recently moved a few blocks away but still make the trek over to York to get the great deal and customer service from Danfe Nails!
(PS — Their top coat is AMAZING. your nails really last.)
