Ludlow And Hester Nail Salon

Unilocalers, don’t be like me and ignore the negative reviews. There is no way that the woman that did my nails and eyebrows has a license. She told me… With a straight face. That I should dry the top coat of my gel manicure for 5 whole minutes under the UV light. I have been getting gel nails long enough to know that this is not common practice. Their lamps are in the table and do not have timers. Aside from that, she painted all over my cuticles, they have a crappy no-​name brand gel nail polish that they charge normal gel prices for ($ 26 plus $ 5 to remove old gel), the tools are NOT sterilized, and there are bumps all over my nails. Worst gel in my life. Also I would have walked away with uneven brows if I didn’t ask her to fix them (pretty sure she double dipped the wax) I feel disease ridden from that place and will not be back. Really hope you take my review seriously and do the same.

Discovered this new nail salon while taking my daughter to school one day and wanted to give this place a try. I thought it was going to be a nice nail salon given gentrification. This place makes me go to sleep, it’s nice that people don’t talk and gossip but the workers’ attitude is so dead. Long story short, I got a pedicure that took basically 10 minutes for $ 20+tax! That’s hella expensive, I usually pay $ 16. The lady didn’t pay attention to my cuticles, don’t know how to scrub my feet and paint them. Very disappointed, I wouldn’t mind paying more than my regular pedicures if they did a better job. If they keep this up, they will have less and less customers.

I can’t even leave a star rating because the quality of mani + pedi and customer service was beyond low. Not only could I understand what they were whispering behind my friend and my back, they did a completely terrible and rushed nail job. I was excited to have a new nail salon in my neighborhood but would never ever go here again!

my ‘hood desperately needed a claws and paws salon, so i was supes jazzed when this joint opened. after my first experience, my enthusiasm began to wain. now, i am just bitter. it’s convenient, so i go, but i am never really happy when i peace. expect to be in and out because they give no hoots. definitely expensive. the employees are really nice, but they just don’t nail (get it?!) that quality paint job i’ve grown accustomed to since living in new yawk. i’ll continue to go because i am a glutton for punishment and like i said earlier, the ladies are really nice.

No stars. This was the worst nail salon I have EVER gone to. It wasn’t just me either, the girl next to me kept looking at me in utter shock and disbelief about her manicure. I should have known then to walk out. I’m surprised I even paid. To break it down, she barely paid attention to my cuticle ask in pushing them back, continued to cut when I told her I DO NOT cut my cuticles and I only push them back, missed 20% of my nail with the paint (the sides you can see my nail visibly), jagged filing job on almost every nail, painted my cuticles, and rounded my nails when I told her to square them out. I have never had a manicure like this in my life and I’ve gone to multiple salons in the city. I’m a pretty vocal customer so it’s not like I sat there in silence while it happened. I tried nicely to stop every issue that was going down. It went against my judgement to sit there and I really regret trying to save money. Back to the West Village for my manicures. Girls, don’t try to cut costs here.

Nice nail place in the neighborhood. recently opened within the last year. Very no frills and a good mani-​pedi special M-​W for $ 26.

Very Nice people but my mani didn’t last very long, I think only 4 or 5 days!

Friendly and efficient. They have mani-​pedi specials from Mon-​Wed, $ 26. It’s a no frills, nothing fancy neighborhood nail salon. Conveniently located across from a laundromat, next door to Stanley’s pharmacy and adjacent to The Sweet Life Candy Store.

small but clean and the ladies here are super nice :) pretty standard for a regular mani/​pedi. fyi — cash only!
