Getting your nails done is one of the easiest ways to change your look. Whether you’re dressing it up with a classic French manicure or going funky with bold colours and patterns, you can be sure that your tips and toes are in good hands at these midtown nails salons.
You can put nail polish on by yourself at home, so the point of going out is to experience something you can’t recreate. At this midtown salon, the indulgent spa manicure consists of a lovely 15-minute massage of your arms and hands before the colour is applied. Feet get twice the care, with either a 20-minute reflexology massage or a hot stone pedicure, plus a nail polish application.
This boutique salon may be on the smaller side as far as nail studios go, but it’s cute and smartly designed, with products placed on shelves to free up as much floor space as possible. While you wait for your nail tech to call you, you’ll be offered a complimentary smoothie, coffee or tea. During your treatment, you can either chat or watch TV, with the latter giving the place a manicure-at-the-movies kind of atmosphere.
Just as the name suggests, one trip to this nail salon will have you looking pretty in the city. When it comes to doing up your hands, they don’t just stick a coat of nail polish on them and call it a day. They take the time to prep your nails so the colour lasts as long as possible, and the Gelish Polish – which uses an LED lamp – is guaranteed to stay chip-free for at least 10 days.
Open every day of the week, they don’t close until 8 p.m. on weekdays, giving you plenty of opportunities to work a manicure into your schedule. You can make an appointment or walk in, but if you have a favourite nail tech, then the former is probably your best option. Once you’re in the seat, go ahead and ask for the most complicated design you can think of. It’s all in a day’s work for these talented nail technicians.
Gee offers a whole host of beauty services, including a wide variety just for your nails. You can go as basic as a simple polish change if you want to switch up your colour, take things up a notch with an express manicure, or go all out with the hand lightening manicure. The specialty service uses some of the best and newest products available, giving your nails the care and style they deserve.
It’s hard to decide what’s the best thing about this place – is it the incredible prices or the top-notch service you get every single time? Luckily, you never have to choose between cost and quality because Nailsense has both covered. Their CND Shellac and OPI GelColor are guaranteed to look perfect for at least seven days, with free touch-ups during that time. To try them out, either make an appointment or just walk right in.
