When it comes to nails, Manhattanites tend to be one of the most cultured and well-traveled groups. Whether you’re looking for a studio of the future on the Upper East Side or a neighborhood boutique to steal away with friends on the Lower East Side, our pals in Manhattan have fallen in love with the high-end polish and cheap tattoo cuticle-smoothing services that nail salons provide.
Sure, Manhattan may be known for its pocketbook-friendly boutiques and celebrity-favorite nail salons, but below are a few of the best places to get great service and good polish at the right price.

If you have extra cash to burn, Paris-based ’80s and ’90s-inspired chic bars like J’Aton Spa, La Crème on 7th Street, and The Fez Bar on Christopher Street look just as good as any luxe salon near you. Instead of booking a full treatment, you might prefer to DIY while picking the perfect color, or have your color applied to your entire finger in a neon metallic hue.
Don’t like feet that look like they came straight out of a ShoeMart? Find the right salon for you with Nail Spa and Spa Treatments, where you can find top salons that offer walk-in treatment, painting all over in the comfort of your own home, or flat-rate manicures and pedicures.
Then again, if you’re only in Manhattan for a little while, don’t take the cost too seriously, since you’ll most likely have some free time to spend in the neighborhood. If your schedule is flexible, give Brooklyn’s upscale nail salons like Sage Nails & Spa and Ginko NYC a try if you’re looking for that extra touch from your regular salon.
Big names like C Nails, L’apresse, and In Style Nails might seem like luxury brands with a price to match, but not all of these salons are just “tacky and frumpy,” like you’d imagine. Some of the best services you can enjoy are all-over dyeing, retro trends, and heated foot massages.
