20 Best NYC Nail Salons

Over at Byrdie HQ, we take trips to the nail salon very seriously. It's such a special time to relax and tend to yourself. We also know that it is not an easy feat to find amazing nail salons. In a big city like New York, which houses too many nail salons to count, discovering the really good ones takes a lot of crowdsourcing, Yelp scrolling, and certainly some experimentation. Walking out of the salon and thinking about all of the ways your manicurist could have cut your cuticles better or done your design differently is a feeling we'd rather avoid. 

So we've got you covered with the best nail salons in NYC that will not disappoint. Trust, the service of the staff, the vibe of the salons, and the designs they offer are top-notch. That said, these places book up fast. If today's your day to treat yourself, we suggest you give one of the below a call.
