Eva's Nails & Spa

Highest quality manicure I’ve ever had and the prices are so good ($56 for dip powder). Linda does such a great job and is so consistent and fast. I’ve gone to her for over a year and my nails have never once chipped or cracked. They also take the time to care for your nails since they only soak polish off (no drilling) which has made my actual nails really strong to the point where I don’t need tips anymore. I’ve tried countless nail salons over the years but this one is the best!!

Unfortunately, the woman doing my dip manicure used a nail file so aggressively it cut 5 of my fingers to the point of bleeding (where the nail meets the skin). Days later, they are swollen. Think twice before getting a dip manicure here as they don’t use the standard tools. (They did give me a refund when I went back today (not on the tip) but would have rather avoided this altogether).

Terrible service and pricing. I received a dip manicure. I asked for a gel top coat, as literally every single other salon does. They wanted to charge $10.50 for the top coat alone, because “it requires a light.” Outrageous! A gel manicure is $30, so they wanted a third of the price for one coat of a top coat to finish a manicure. That’s honestly insane. I’ve never heard of that, and I get my nails done twice a month. I’m visiting the area, so I needed a new place. Never again! The manicure itself was thick and not the shape I like, despite my instruction. Additionally, it is not smooth. There are lots of dips in the nail. At a certain point, I basically gave up, resolved to just get it done in another couple weeks. The top coat really floored me though. I would not recommend this place. Edited to add 6 days later and one of my nails has already cracked.

I'm writing this review to say THANK YOU to Eva! She is amazing, and did her best to make sure my nails were perfect for my wedding. I got a dip powder french manicure and 2 silk wraps for broken nails. The pictures posted are 3 weeks apart - my nails held up through a week of wedding events and 2 weeks of travel. P.S. I have been to Eva's Nails many times and have always had great results with regular pedicures and gel or dip manicures.

Great experience and value ($78 for both + dip removal)! May did a great job with my regular pedicure and Frankie did a fabulous job on my powder manicure. I’m very particular about how my nails are done and they listened to my requests. I’ll be back! Update: the dip nails lasted almost 2.5 weeks and I went back and got the best dip mani ($50) I’ve ever had with Norma! (Pink nails)

I did a powder manicure that didn’t even last the 10 days fresh guaranteed that they tell you on the little card. I also whisked that since they call it a manicure they actually do a manicure because putting powder on nails should not be considered a manicure my cuticles weren’t soaked or removed properly and my nails weren’t shaped properly or how I wanted either. I want to go back and give them a 2 try but I’m not sure it will be worth it. Plus with my busy schedule I can barely go 1 every two weeks. I did like my nails they didn’t feel as rough as with acrylic but even on my worst set it acrylic does last longer

I got an amazing dip manicure at Eva’s for my wedding! It looked sooo beautiful and did not have the thick look that some associate with powder gel. She did an amazing ombré French manicure that lasted for just about 2 weeks. I got so many compliments! I also got a great pedicure. I had said I was going to choose a white color, and then I ended up choosing a more sheer, pearly white color that was more subtle. As she did the pedi, she checked to make sure it was definitely the color I wanted, since it was different than what I originally said. I really appreciated that attention fo detail! I will definitely be back.

So I'm technically giving 4 stars because I had to wait 35 minutes because Eva didn't know I had already come in. I guess that was a miscommunication error where someone didn't tell her they seated me? I don't get what happened there. Once I got started, everything was pretty smooth, minus a few interruptions because they were closing. But I'll just chalk that up to the previous error. For the most part, Eva did my nails and they came out great. She really tried to give me the gel powder look that best suited my nails. I did the french manicure by the way, and its actually cheaper than in the suburbs and 5x better haha. Try to get her if you can. I just like her overall vibe.

Excellent service, friendly staff, and very skilled. I love my visits to Eva's Nail Salon and would highly recommend. Best, Carol

Got my nails done on Friday and it's Monday and they are already chipping. This was with dazzle dry which is supposed to last longer than a reg mani although is irrelevant bc either way, shouldn't be chipping within 3 days. Also, I made an appointment specifically with Eva but she was double booked - felt like she may have felt pressured/did a rushed job. Wanted to like this place since it's close to my home but it's as pricey as other spots in the city and the job isn't nearly as good. Usually don't write reviews but thought it was worth people knowing so they don't waste their money!

Called and asked the price of a gel pedicure, was told $43. Walked in and was told it was $56. The place looked rough. Peeling seats, dingy foot soaks. Turned right back around and didn't get my nails done.

I have been visiting Eva nails over 10 years. Even if I'm travel out of NYC i still wait to come back and get my nails done there. Amazing working people

The hot towels are cold. Rushed pedicure not an enjoyable experience. I'm sure my nails will chip because I didn't get the proper number of coats. Will not be coming back for an overpriced pedicure that's not worth it.

...I love it here. I stayed in NYC for 10 weeks, and wanted to treat myself to cute nails while I was here. My friend recommended Eva's. Everything I come in, I feel like I'm in good hands. The staff here has never failed me; I'm always pleased with my nails afterwards. Pricing is good, and my nails ALWAYS last until my next session, even if it's nearly 3 weeks later. My hair NEVER gets caught under the nails either - they never lift (I've only gotten dip). They are SO detailed. They take their time, but if you're on a time crunch, just let them know and they will speed it up. Now that I've left NYC, every manicure I get I find myself comparing it to Eva's, and considering price, quality, and more - it just doesn't compare. I'll be returning to NYC later this year, and am looking forward to my next appointment at Eva's.

I went for an sns dip manicure. Norma started doing my nails. She was wildly rude and kept getting up leaving me sitting there while she sat on the phone. Finally Linda stepped in and finished without explanation. While Linda was very good I found the interaction with Norma to be so rude and unprofessional. No sinks for hand washing either. I'll keep looking for a full service professional nail salon in Manhattan.

I live across the street and have been here at least 10 times and I'd say my experiences average to a 2-3 star. This place started off so well! But the issue is consistency. I've had great manicures and I've had horrible, they cut my cuticles manicure to great manicures. And today I had the- they cut my cuticles. The owners seem really nice but man, they need some quality control. It's also been freezing in there and they don't turn on the heat! I'm not a person that treats myself to manicures all the time so it's extra frustrating. It's just so disappointing!!!

I have always loved coming to Eva's but after my pedicure on Saturday my toe became severely infected. Proper care was not taken during my pedicure and my toe was inflamed and infected to the point where I had to go to urgent care. The woman doing my pedicure was sloppy and rough. My toe bled and she did not properly clean or take the steps so I wouldn't get an infection. Very upset and will not be coming back.

I like most of the nail ladies here except Eva, I think she overcharges and makes up prices.one time when I asked to just fix a nail she charged me $10 for a little glue. To me that's ridiculous and another time it was $7, I wouldn't mind if it was consistent but the inconsistency tells me that you might be making up the price.

I've been coming here for 2 years and they've always done a wonderful job and my goal manicure would easily last 3 weeks. However, for the past 3-4 times, they've been doing a really poor job. For example, I got my nails done here 2 weeks ago and and it's started lifting and getting caught in my hair by day NINE. They've also been doing a very poor job of cutting my cuticles. Two days after my visit, I noticed multiple hangnails on almost every single finger. I think I've had enough. Done with this place.

Go, girl!! I've been going to Eva's Nails for a long time, because they always do beautiful, work. It's hard to decide which is better, the dip manicure, or the gel manicure! They always turn out, so cool, but the dip does last longer.

I don't think I've ever left a review in my life BUT - this manicure/nail tech deserves it x 10,000!!! Eva was so articulate and intentional with my dip manicure - it is BY FAR the best I've ever had. She made sure every nail was just how she liked it and didn't hesitate to go "back" a step in the process if she saw it was needed. I am obsessed to say the least. Eva will do my nails for as long as I live in NYC

I've been looking for a good spot in the area and saw this had good reviews so I went in for a gel mani but it wasn't worth it.

Eva takes care of me every single time --I usually come when it isn't busy and they always start me right when I walk in. So easy going when picking colors and last time I added a design which ended up being my engagement nails that still looked perfect after 3 weeks!!

Soooo I walked in Eva's today for my 7pm pedicure (first time there) I picked color and waited to be called. I noticed one of the workers cleaning her station after completing a pedicure and asked her coworkers who was next. So her coworker said NIGGA and looked in my direction. The other coworker stomped her foot on the floor as to say shut up. Soooooo I happened to be the only person of color in the salon soooooo i guess she was talking about me. I got up and left............ To be continued.

I did my sns for the first time and so far I am happy. Sylvia did them and she was sweet and very neat. Will update in the next few weeks. Update: it's been 2.5 weeks and they still look good. Will post picture

I moved to NYC and it took a few tries before I finally found "my" nail salon. I live on the west side of Manhattan, but go to the East side every other weekend to get my nails done here because they ALWAYS do a good job no matter who does your nails. They have every color option you can imagine too! I highly recommend this place.

I was a little nervous to get my nails done for the first time during the pandemic but EVA nails have gone to great lengths to make sure you are protected with partitions on pedicure chairs and manicure stations. I felt very safe and comfortable while getting my pedicure and my dip nail manicure. They have a wide selection of colors to pick from, I literally took 30 minutes to pick my dip nail color. I loved how detailed they were. I am a fan and will now be a repeat customer!

I been coming to this place for four years and never had an issue they where the best ; but last few times I feel like they been doing a half job, my gel manicure would stay on just for few days. Today was a last drop for me women that was doing my pedicure was super angry I felt really uncomfortable and not welcome . I came home with nail polish on my fingers not .I guess it's time to bring my business somewhere else

I've been going to this nail salon for about 3 years or more. I was referred to this place by a friend and they specifically named A women named Linda and ever since I've been getting my nails done by her. She's very kind and professional and pays close attention to detail and what I want, and the specific shape I like. As you can see by my picture they're all very different colors they have a HUGE selection of powder gel colors. I would recommend this place if you love powder gel.

I really thought I had found a great salon in the city with NexGen nails after going to a great tech in Brooklyn for months who is often booked up. I went back to get my NexGen redone and to my horror all of my nails were dry, peeling, and breaking. I immediately knew they did not use NexGen products, after I asked them several times why the bottles and powders did not say the company name. (The other powders are terrible on my nails.) At this second visit I asked to see the NexGen colors. I was handed so many options by the man I questioned if they had given me just NexGen colors. Yes, they told me. Once I saw how damaged my nails were, I again asked to confirm they use NexGen. The tech then pointed out some of the palettes were mixed with other powders. The man said: I didn't know you wanted NexGen only. I will never return here again. False advertising for NexGen seems to be the thing at salons now. If the customer asks for a specific product, give it to them.

I came here after leaving another shop in the middle of pedicure because it was THAT bad. And Annie did an AMAZING job!! I was so pleased. She is meticulous and detailed oriented. I got dip on my nails and polish on my feet. I'll definitely be back!!!

I really wanted to try powder dip manicure and my Yelp search brought me here. Pics of their sample colours differ greatly from what the end product is! Nail colour is a lot darker from powder. Pro: They seated me within 2min but Con:I ended up waiting for the nail technician for another 8min. Con: Linda was very rough on my hands and cuticles to the point I thought she was going to break my skin. Pro: That roughness translated to a great neck and shoulder massage! Pic is after 11 days, you can see that while there are no chips, there is some lifting action. My nails grow about 1/8th inch a week or so. It will be a personal decision for me if it's worth it to get this $$$ done bi-monthly or every 3 weeks because God knows I can not afford this manicure weekly but I can't stand long nails either. \_(ツ)_/¯

I was excited to try but..both my pointer fingers came off after a week and a half. My SNS manicures at the other salons down the street lasted 3+ weeks. $52 plus tip for a week and a half manicure for me is not worth it. All my fingers were lifting. Plus they're kind of rude here and always rushing you. They don't have electronic filing tools so they file a lot and get your finger.

I scheduled a regular pedicure and powder dip manicure and I'm so happy with both. Not only was the price reasonable ($70 before tip) but the quality was amazing. My nails have lasted through a wedding, a week long trip, and more! Would 100% recommend to everyone!

Got a gel pedi & dip nails for $100. No scrub, no massage, not even a good shape so the price is definitely not worth the quality of service I got. Gel polish is kinda see through and didn't last long. Within 2 weeks my polish was chipping off. The dip was ok, maybe good, definitely not great. The dip chipped off on one of my nails and the color isn't the same. Normally my nails last at least 4 weeks without a chip or anything. This was my first and last time here.

Really flawless dip manicure! I had a great experience here and will be back. I wish I had asked the nail tech her name. She did a beautiful job.

Came here for the first time last night for a mani-pedi, at the suggestion of my girl friend, who is a regular here for their powder manis. It was my first time getting powder, and based on the experience, will not be the last. Concept is cool - no UV (I typically get gels), just as long lasting, at just a few more dollars. I am very happy with the powder manicure so far. However, I will probably get pedi done elsewhere. It has not even been twelve hours, and already my left big toenail is majorly messed up. The technician who performed my pedi first did not apply enough layers (picked a lighter color) so it looked streaky, and after I complained - then applied so many layers that even after an hour under the fan, the polish folded/creased up instead of drying. The mani tech (a different lady) had to redo one of my toenails before I left because it looked so bad. Then, as I stated, this morning I noticed that my left big toenail polish was creased up. I am thoroughly disappointed by this, as this has never happened to me so soon after getting a pedi.

I am in love with the dip powder manicures. I'm not someone who gets there nails done on the regular--usually only go for special occasions--but I've gone back twice already in one summer so to me, that's saying something. The pedicures are okay. Very clean with the removable liner, but the quality in the staying power is not there. Looking at my toes a day after my pedicure, it looks like the polish on my big toe is damaged. Tempted to see if they'd fix it if I stop by tomorrow. The service is pretty good. They'll test a color on your nail to make sure you like it before doing the rest, stuff like that. I've made an appointment once, but I've found I'll be seen in the same amount of time if I just do a walk in. For the dip powder manicures, I definitely recommend this place. If you just want an average mani or pedi, I'd probably look elsewhere.

Eva Nails is AMAZING. If you're looking for a dip powder manicure in NYC, they just can't be beat: -Never had a manicure last less than 2 and a half weeks here, and could probably get more out of it if I didn't pick my nails/get annoyed by their length -Huge color selection -Any of the techs who do powder do a super good job, while at some other salons there's only 1 or 2 who are good -Everyone is just super nice and helpful here and truly want to make sure you enjoy your experience You definitely NEED an appointment though, as every time I've been there it's been extremely busy. But it is well worth it!

This so called salon is now consider by most to be a nightmare. The owner May speaks on the phone throughout Manicures paying little or no attention to the client. However, she is great at accepting huge tips and smiling. I recently had a powder manicure with her And the next time she recommended a really lovely girl named Lily. Lily however, doesn't do powder so she gave me a regular manicure upon the approval of May, the owner. It resulted in the total destruction of my nails!!i was, by the way, one of her very first customers Therefore, showing no loyalty. SO BEWARE!!

If you're looking for a great nail salon in midtown, I highly recommend coming here. I've been coming to Eva Nails for several months and have loved every gel manicure so far. Not only do they do a beautiful job but they have an incredible staff and have great pricing.

I loveee my nails! I always do the SNS dip powder. Great service, I'll definitely be back. Btw make an appointment before going they're always busy.

I've been going here for 2 years for their NexGen (powder nails). My manicure has always been great and it lasts for up to 3 weeks when I'm traveling. Lots of NexGen colors! My only concern is that they are a little rough when pushing back cuticles. I've bled twice already so I always have to remind them to do it gently.

Clean and efficient without possible liners. That's the key! Very reasonable and polite group. They have acrylic manicure if you want. A neighborhood gem for me! Open 7-days/week usually till 8PM kn Sundays and till 9PM weekdays! LOCATED: 883 First Avenue Between 49th and 50th streets

I probably won't go back. It was fine, but the woman who did my manicure really cut up my cuticles to the point where I'm still bleeding two days later :(. Not worth a return visit.

9 days after I had powder/ dip Mani . Half my Mani is gone. .... Feel like there was no value for the money. Also Pedi was started by one person, second one finished. Mani was started by second and finished by 3rd tech. I booked over the phone and told them I wanted gel Pedi and powder Mani. Should not have had 3 techs.

Disappointed because last 2 times I was here, it was so good! I got a powder mani and regular pedi. The lady doing my pedi scrubbed my feet for a grand total of 30 seconds. The manicurist didn't file my nail extensions to the shape or length that I wanted. I asked for almond, and the tips are way too pointy. The shape is irregular and I asked her to fix the length because they were too short, she was annoyed and started filing my nails erratically and cut my finger at which point she started being a bit more gentle. The end result was basically nails not in the shape I wanted, not in the length I wanted, and my fingers all cut up and sore.

Today was my very first time at Eva's and visiting from Dallas Texas and knowing how great Nexgen is ... I was excited to try! Got to say am a VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER! Loved the customer service, the technicians and service! Frankie was my nail tech and he did an awesome job!! Next time I come to NYC, this will definitely be one MUST VISIT place!

I've been doing dip powder on and off and this is the best place it's always perfect and stays for over 3 wks.

I came here without an appointment at 4 PM on a Tuesday night. They were able to immediately accommodate me, which was really nice. I got a color dip manicure and a pedicure, which comes in a package for $57. For those who don't know what a color dip manicure is, also known as an SNS manicure, essentially the nail technician will take your nails and put a base coat and then dip into a powder in the color of your choosing and repeat this step 3 times. This method is supposed to be much better for your natural nails than acrylic or gel manicures. The actual space is very small and very busy. In the time that I was there, about 10 different women walked in and all were able to be accommodated at the time of their walk in. The nail technicians do you not speak English very well, however they were very nice and accommodating. They do have a credit card machine, minimum $15, and ask for tips in cash. If you don't have cash there is an ATM in the grocery store next-door. Overall, I had a pretty good experience. I really do love the manicure and pedicure so far but it's only been about an hour since I got them. I will update this review on how long they last. I'm expecting at least two weeks and will be disappointed if they do not last that long. There was a sign in the store saying that if you got a color dip manicure and it chips or cracks within the first 10 days, they will fix it for free. I would come back here again and rate the experience four out of five stars.

I've been coming to this nail salon for about 3 months now and let me tell you, this is the best nail salon you'll ever ever go to. I can't tell you how many salon I've tried over the past 3 years of living in NYC. No one else will compare. I do dip powder and it lasts me 5 weeks! Probably even longer if I wanted to wait and they have the biggest dip powder selection I've seen! I included a picture of my dip 5 weeks later! Still perfect, no chip

I like this place because my powder manicure looks great no matter who does them which is a win not having to make an appointment with someone specific. My gel pedicure is always great + the massage. Giving it a 4 because they demand that you tip in cash which is an inconvenience considering I have a credit union in a small town back home and it's not cheap to take out cash. Also, this last visit took abnormally long - 3 hours for my mani pedi.

Great service and incredible dip nails by Narma. Love how much attention she paid to the shape and balance of the color, and was sweet and friendly. Will be back - but based on how well she did the nails, probably won't need to for a few weeks!

I had done a SNS a few weeks in Sunnyside (Livia's) and I was over all happy except that it felt like the top was a bit yellow which looked strange so came here because of all the rave reviews. Plus - they did honor our appointment on time and they were friendly but be warned it does get crazy packed with very long waits Cons - the SNS which should have listed 2-3 weeks later 5 days! This was such a huge waste of money and I went with my friend hers lasted about a weeks so I know it's not just me. If you're willing to travel for SNS as its hard to find, go somewhere else. Will not be coming back!

This was my second time getting SNS Dip Powder Gel ever, first time at Eva's & it's definitely one of the best places to get powder gel in the city. They had tons of colors to choose from & my lady - Angela - was very thorough! She took her time shaping my nails from originally square to a slight coffin shape. I genuinely couldn't be happier with my results! I wish the place were a bit bigger & better staffed, sometimes even with an appointment there is still a long wait. But, that doesn't effect my review because their work is still phenomenal. I'd rather wait a bit & have them take their time on my nails than rush me out of there like most NYC salons.

Make an appointment and be ON TIME for it, or you'll be there for about 2 hours . They're just that busy. They all really do try their best to get everyone taken care of but the evenings and weekends are just beyond busy. I got the nexgen nails, as I'd been wanting to try it forever, and I love them. There's only one or 2 people here that actually do it so coming early is your best bet or making your appt specifically for nexgen nails because they take time. Regular nexgen nails on top of your own nails are $39 and take about 45mins. If you get a tip with your nexgen nails to add a little length, it's $59 and takes 1hr 15mins. Provided you're there before 4:30 on a weekday. Anything later or on a weekend your nails will take about 2 hours. Overall I'm giving them 5 stars for being the best they can be provided the demand that they have and the services offered. Not many salons do nexgen nails or offer such a variety as this place, so given that and their outstanding customer service, I give them an undeniable 5 stars and will definitely be back .

I have been coming to Eva's for over 2 years now. I live in the UES and no longer work by the salon but can't help but still go back there everytime I need a powder dip manicure. The reason I keep coming back is because of the quality of my manicure. Every single time it is top notch and no matter which manicurist I get, the attention to detail is impressive. They also always seem to file my nails to the exact shape I am looking for. Notes on the salon itself: The salon is clean but not the most modern, which doesn't bother me because the quality is great. It is also very small so I highly recommend making an appointment each time you go. Lastly, one other detail that may matter for some people is that because there is a such a good attention to detail, I am usually in the salon for at least an hour just for the manicure (probably closer to 1.5-2 for powder mani + pedi). I don't mind because I know how great it comes out but just something to be aware of. I sadly confess that I cheated on Eva's and tried another salon recently. But I will never make the same mistake again. Eva's is the real deal.
