Euphoria Nails

I come here almost once a week and am always happy with my manicure. Everyone is always nice and complete the manicure quickly.

It’s a quick, inexpensive, efficient, well-​done mani or pedi in a quiet, pleasant atmosphere. Walk-​ins are welcome with no more than a 10 min wait when I visited. You can get a free massage while you wait and then a 10 min massage while your nails are being done. It was worth it! It’s only around $ 13 but its a great massage. There are so many options along every Avenue and Street in NYC but sometimes the salons are loud with chatter, overbearing TVs with obnoxious show, etc. This was a much more professional setting, and a nice change of pace from the NYC norm.

The worst experience ever! I used to work close to this salon and was visiting them to get massages. The only reason I was going back there, was the club card they had that would count every point and once you reach 100 points/​$ 100 you’d get a free manicure. Anyway, last year I changed my job and stopped visiting that place. But I had in mind to go back and use my 100 points and get free manicure. Their massages aren’t even good to start with. you wouldn’t even feel that you just got a massage when you walked out of the salon. Or it would be so strong that it would hurt your back.
So, today I went there to use my points finally and get the deserved free manicure. It turns out they changed the rules and now you need to have 150 points for a free service. I explained them that I changed my job and now came here only to use my points. They could have nicely said that they are not willing to do it, even though it wouldn’t bankrupt them to please a loyal customer. But instead they chose to rude, really rude and start yelling at me. Yes, YELLING! At first the owner — the Chinese man got all mad and everything and then decided to agree just for a color change nothing else. But then he saw that last time I visited the place was 10 months ago, he got mad for some reason. These people have to understand that this is the USA, not any other country and customer service matters here. Especially, in mid Manhattan. And it’s a huge no to yell at a customer. If you respect yourself, don’ go to that place. I repeat don’t waste your time.

I love this place! The ladies here are so nice and friendly and really try to talk to you. I needed to get my nails done for an interview and they were friendly enough to give me recommendations and suggestions. The lady who did my nails gave me used a a shade of pink and and a shade of white nail polish (TWO DIFFERENT COLORS WOW) and my nails looked impeccable for my interview; the two different shades combined produced such a pretty color and I don’t think I would’ve gotten this combo/​suggestion anywhere else.
I also had my eyebrows done and they listened to what I wanted and even gave me advice on how to continue taking care of eyebrows, which was cute.
I speak Mandarin though, so that definitely helped me get what I wanted. But I’m sure if you made an effort to explain, they listen.

I’ve been going to this salon on and off for the past year since it is conveniently located near my house. Another positive is that they have a reward card that accrues based on dollar value spent and can be used on manis, pedis, even waxing services… pretty good incentive to go back. I use the waxing services on a monthly basis and find staff to be well-​trained (minimizing painfulness), clean and reliable. However, the nail professionals are another story! The quality of the manicures/​pedicures vary GREATLY based on the worker and it is definitely hit or miss (mostly miss), especially if you’re getting a French manicure. For a professional nail salon, I have never seen the salon workers struggle so much to do a quality French mani. Also, the owner can be rather unfriendly as I have asked for a refund on a terrible mani (that I had removed before I left) and was refused a full refund. The prices are higher than your average NYC nail salon so you’d think the caliber of the service would also be higher… not so much. And beware, the owner charges you more money when you pay w/​a card without fully informing consumers of this. There are more quality salons in the area (re: across the street) if you are looking for a good stress-​free mani/​pedi.

I’ve been coming here for at least a few years now and am happy with the service I receive. In fact, I moved a few blocks further away and still continue to come here. The salon seems clean and the staff is very nice. I tend to wait too long between pedicures and they’re always working hard to scrub away the extra skin. I also like that they have a points program. I only get pedicures (usually the Euphoria pedicure) so I’m saving my points until I achieve that level. A bit more expensive for the special pedicure, but I feel comfortable here and will keep coming back.

This place has the greatest chair massages! I really only come here for the massages, they’re worth it. For $ 13, you get a 10 minute chair massage. The masseuse are well trained and I always feel relaxed after. I really recommend it if you need a quick de-​stresser. They even have a rewards program you can join which gives you a free mani once you reach 100 points. The only con about this place is that while they take card, they prefer cash and charge you more if you pay with a card.

Horrible service (not professional at all) and horrible employees. Way over price compared to the neighborhood and 100% not worth your time or $

Worst experience ever… Walked out without having a service… When I asked about their services, they were so impatient, and they acted like they couldnt understand ENGLISH… so I decided to leave… After I said“Nvm, Thank you”…This guy at the front desk give me this ugly face and hissed me… What the hell seriously!!! This place made me sick…

Worst experience for gel manicure ever. Woman didn’t even soak my nails from pevious gel for 5 minutes before trying to scrape off the gel. I had to tell her to wait more time for the gel to soften. She immediately scraped with a metal instrument so hard onto my nail and into my cuticles which was painful.
When it came time to paint my nails, I’m used to one or two brushes against a cuticle or skin and quickly touching up. This woman hit every finger and used every instrument to correct it. She then slapped on coat after coat to cover up her mess which left my nails with thick tips and messed up cuticles.
I now have to pay a new place to do an entire gel manicure tomorrow.
Beware.

Great neighborhood nail spot. Definately going to become a staple — friendly staff, prompt service, clean, and the later hours (9:30PM Mon-​Fri) are a major plus! Walked-​in on Friday evening after work (8PMish) for a gel manicure, I was helped right away and the manicure came out great. Another bonus is the rewards program — 1 point for every $ 1, first $ 100 gets you a free manicure.

I think I’ve finally found my neighborhood mani-​pedi spot. Though it’s kind of hole-​in-​the-​wally, Euphoria offers good pedicures and reasonable prices. I am obsessed with the crystal spa pedicure and will definitely be going back to get my fix. They also have a customer loyalty program that you can sign up for. The could kick it up a notch with the service and ambiance however.

Angie Spa on the next block has a much prettier salon and it is much more relaxing too. Not only is this place busy and a bit run down but the worst part is you are encouraged to pay cash.
They have this «discount» policy that if you pay cash you get the prices quoted on their price list. If you pay with a credit card you are charged a higher price of about 5%.
I guess this is a clever way to hide your cash from the government and if they have to report some income they make YOU pay their taxes by charging you more money.
I find this very annoying and no longer go there. Also, aside from the atmosphere — Angie Spa gives a better manicure/​pedicure.

I was walking around midtown, and had just had my nails done at the carols daughter (the back room) review coming soon… But after a really hot weekend and sorting… house cleaning and what not I had too many showers… and dirty nails. I really just wanted my nails freshened up to look good to see some friends for lunch. I was debating on stoping in cvs when I saw this place was still open so I stopped in. It served the purpose for 11 dollars I was able to make my hands look fresh again, and they will look fab when my guy comes in this weekend too and we hit the art circuit.

I love this place! What a neighborhood gem! They’re quick, efficient, and open late! Those are 5-​star qualities in my book! I had Kay the last time I was there for a quick mani and she was fab. They even have a little bowl for your jewelry. I also had a 10-​min chair massage. If you’re ever having a bad day, week, month, year; GET ONE. Completely relaxing and well worth the $ 1.30/minute. If you live on 1^st or 2^nd ave, or simply strolling by, do yourself a favor and go here! They also have a frequent customer card and 100 pts = a free mani! Amazing!

I came here with my cousin for a Mani-​pedi and had an OK experience. When I got my manicure done my cuticles did not turn out clean, they look a little messed up. However the pedicure came out fine.
My cousin did the UV gel set and they were really attentive to her needs even when she was being picky. I liked that they were willing to listen to her needs.

Man, I wish I had read the previous Unilocal review before going here! I wandered into Euphoria Nails last night on my way home from work, hoping for a relaxing manicure/​pedicure. Two hours later, I left with a bleeding cuticle: the nail technician (Christine) had cut me so deeply that I started bleeding profusely. After taking one look at my bleeding nail, she started trying to mop up the blood — before handing me off to another technician — who then handed me off to another technician! After this ridiculous game of merry-​go-​round, I definitely will not be returning.
