M&M studio nyc Nails and Eyelashes

This is my second time coming and working with Misa. She's great! She's super gentle and detailed focused. Her nails are always super stylish and cute, so I asked her to do whatever she wanted for nails during this appointment and they turned out great!! Definitely coming back to see her again 😍

Not coming again. After two satisfactory manicures, I expected a similar level of quality, but what I received was unacceptable. The technician assigned to me clearly lacked the necessary skills. My cuticles were left chipped and uneven, and the polish started chipping the very next day. I spent nearly two hours in the salon for just a regular 1 color gel polish with no design, yet the results were far from what I requested. Despite my efforts to communicate my expectations with pictures, the language barrier made it impossible to convey what I needed. When I raised my concerns with the manager, she was dismissive. Her suggestion that I return the next day to fix my nails, risking further damage in the process, showed a complete lack of compassion and concern for customer satisfaction. It felt as though her only priority was making money, not ensuring a positive client experience. I chose this salon based on trust, and I am incredibly frustrated with the service I received. This experience has made me reconsider my loyalty to this place.

Update-went for nails and Miki was great. Very gentle, precise, and the design came out exactly as the picture. Ayaka did my lashes and did a great job! This was my first time getting extensions and she was very careful and thorough and made good recommendations

conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan. specializing in Japanese gel and quality nail art that lasts! I've actually experienced going two whole months without any chipping or lifting, and my nails were still in tact & healthy. It really depends on how well you take care of your nails and protect the gel. While it can get a bit pricey depending on the set you choose, it's absolutely worth it. The nail techs are incredibly talented, dedicated and pay great attention to detail. great ambiance and very friendly. they offer other beaty services as well. I absolutely luv and recommend this nail salon!

My partner did her nails here and was so satisfied with her nails. The person who took care of her really paid attention to the details and got her the result that she wanted. Highly recommend!!

WOW this is my favorite nail salon in NYC. I’m worried about writing a review because it’s already so hard to make an appointment!!! It’s $120 for reg pedi and gel mani with medium design (see below at my photos). They use JAPANESE GEL so even without design it stays forever. Great service. My favorite person there is Miyuki but everyone there is amazing. AND THESE NAILS LAST FOREVER!!!

All the techs at this place are amazing. In recent years, I ahve been seeing Michi and she is amazing (they all are, in my experience). I especially love my halloween manicures that I got from Michi this year!

Best nail salon in town! The place is clean, nice staffs. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I got my nails done with Yuka san, she’s the best and knew what I needed. Love her works!

I've been coming here for my eyelashes few years now. This the only place who does "bind lock" extensions outside of Japan. (well, in NYC at least.) Miku is Amazing technician, it last so long when she does it. I almost didn't want to write a review because she'll be so busy that I can't make appointments with her!

I had a lovely experience collaborating with Michi on my nails - I came in with specific thoughts on what art I wanted on which nails, and Michi was precise in mocking it up, confirming pricing (I think Sasa overcharged me last time), and then was patient when there were things I wanted to change from that original plan as the nails were coming along. I'm super happy with how it all came out - with it being pricey, and an occasional treat, I wanted it to be done well, and it was! I also came back to M&M because the last time I took off the gel, it didn't seem to damage my nails much.

I come here all the time, the only place I trust to get my nails done. I've had many different artists and they always do a beautiful job. This time Honami took care of me and was absolutely painstaking with the foundation for my nails and they look beautiful for her efforts! Can't speak highly enough of this place. From basic nails to intricate nail art, this is the place! Super clean, nice staff, very respectful and calm atmosphere. Love love love!

Yuri is amazing! She did my nails (medium art), as seen in the photos here. I made an appointment for October 12, and wanted to get nails done for my birthday month. I wanted bloody inspired nails (it was also Halloween month but this is just coincidence). Yuri did my nails just as I envisioned it! I also let her know that I have a bleeding disorder, so she didn't cut my cuticles and was very careful when filing to make sure I don't get cut. The salon itself was really busy, and there's music playing. There's also one bathroom stall. For birthday month, they give a discount but you need to pay in cash. I usually don't go to nail salons, but I definitely want to come back here!

I've been loyal to M&M for years. It's a clean space and the prices are reasonable. The gel manicures tend to last 3+ weeks. The staff is nice and they are usually running on time. However, the last two times I have gone, my nails have chipped within the first week. I'm not sure if this has to do with the technician I saw those times (I go to whoever is first available, as it is hard enough to get an appointment.) Due to the chipping (which happened when I was on vacation) I had to visit a different salon to get a manicure just a week later. Unfortunately, on my next visit, I had to pay $20 for gel removal from a different salon - despite it not even taking any longer than normal to remove. Frustrating as I have been a loyal customer for years and the only reason I went to a different place was because the manicure I received there didn't hold up to standards. I would understand $5 or maybe even $10 (which is the price it used to be) but $20 is really insane - I've never been to another salon that does this. Also, they should get more color options. The selection is slim and not comparable to that of other salons within the same price range.

The nail studio I always used to go to closed down, so I was panicked about where to now go! I saw that M&M has CalGel, so I decided to give them a try and WOW I am blown away!! The level of detail and time they take is so amazing. My nails have never looked better. I had Sasa and loved her - thank you Sasa! Highly recommend, I'll be back soon :)

They do not value loyalty. Will charge you if you have an emergency and need to reschedule your appointment. Unwilling and refuse to work with you. Not a place you want to make your go-to because they have 0 flexibility!

Miki is the best! All the staff is so sweet and attentive to customers designs and requests. Thank you M&M!

I came here on a recommendation and I was not disappointed. Always amazing! Lots of talent and so welcoming. They're true artist! I highly recommend them!

M&M studio exceeded my expectations! I came with two friends, one of which swears by this place, on a Sunday. We made appointments online, the process is quite straightforward! I was a bit late due to incoming traffic from Jersey, but i called to let them know and they were very accommodating. The salon is located in the second floor. The elevator of the building is older so you have to open a door (not me standing for 5 minutes thinking the elevator was broke), but you can also just easily take the stairs! The salon is bright and roomy, felt very clean when you enter! Because I was late, they didn't have the time to do a more complicated design that I wanted - which I did not mind at all. They showed me what they could do in that matter of time and were able to set my expectations. My specific nail tech was named Sasa and she was sooooo meticulous! I've never had this level of carefulness shown on my nails. Let me tell you!!!! I felt like every nail paint stroke was intentional and with such detail, was truly in awe at her technique and how neat everything was. I will 1000000000% be back. This nail salon was clean, detailed, and friendly! Not really sure what else you'd need from a nail spot. Also, they do give a cash discount!!!!!

very high quality service with kind staff. lasted for a month in a good condition The place is neat and clean. Highly recommend.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a gel manicure spot. I made an appointment online. The place is located is on the 2nd floor, you just ring the doorbell. I wasn't sure which nail tech to pick on the site so I picked any staff. Moyo was super nice and friendly. The studio is modern and clean. There are a variety of colors to chose from. The Japanese gel manicure cost $60 which I think is a little on the pricer side for a one color gel manicure; hopefully it lasts long. I would come back to try the japanese gel nail art or chrome nails (These services cost more). If you book online as a first time client, you have to pay a 50% upfront just fyi.

The cutest ribbon nails ever! Please get nails done with Nako! They are so pretty I got it twice

Gel manicures here have lasted very well! I've been to several other salons in NYC and was often disappointed (gel nails chipping / getting damaged after 1-2 weeks), but M&M has truly exceeded my expectations. Have been a returning customer ever since my first visit! Both Honami and Nako are great

Kind and professional techs. Airy and clean studio which is a nice change compared to other places in nyc. Might be pricey but with it. Nails are yet to come

Quality: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Price: 2 stars I decided to check out M&M Studio after seeing some of the nail art they've done. (I typically get nail art and prefer soft gel, so M&M seemed perfect. The studio is super clean, and I was taken right around my appointment time, which I really appreciated. My nail tech was SO sweet and paid so much attention to detail -- truly, I don't think I've ever had such a thorough pedicure. The nail art was also exactly what I asked for and I was so impressed by how well she stuck to the design! My issue with this salon is the prices. I am used to paying a premium for my nails, but I ended up paying $170 for a gel manicure, a regular pedicure, and some nail art before tip (most of which was really just a French manicure). I've NEVER paid more than $120 MAX. I can't justify coming back here at those prices, but if you can afford the steep prices, the manicures and pedicures are great quality.

I was visiting New York for work and wanted to try a Japanese nail salon during my stay and found this gem on Yelp. They were steps from my hotel and were able to take me as a walk in. Sadly I couldn't get any nail art since it was a last minute appointment, but my gel manicure and regular pedicure were perfection. Everyone in the salon was very friendly and it's a beautiful and relaxing space. Highly recommend this spot, but make sure to make an appointment a few days out!

They do consistently flawless work. Every brushstroke is intentional. I've had Sasa and Moyo and both ladies are fantastic. My only gripe is that for the price, the front desk hospitality could be a little better. One of the front desk receptionists has a bit of an attitude. She makes you feel dumb for asking reasonable questions, scoffs at certain comments, and is generally not very nice. Looking at other reviews, I see this has happened to others as well. It's a shame because they really do fantastic work.

The best nails in NYC in my experience....been coming here for 2 years and never changing!!! Ask for Michi for the best manicure of your life.

I recently moved to the city from Las Vegas and I am very very picky about my nail salons so I did A LOT of research before finding a place and I'm so happy I landed on M&M studio. They do Japanese gel which I had never had before, but their work looked good so I decided to book. The gel lasts sooo long. I can easily go 4 weeks without a chip or anything and all the girls do an amazing job. They pay attention to the cuticles and take their time making sure the gel is always laid perfectly. I've gone to Sasa and Miki and they are both great, but I would feel confident going to anyone in the studio. It's also very easy to book appointments and I have had no problem with availability. The price is nothing shocking in my opinion, I pay $100 for a hard gel fill (I paid $80 in Vegas) and it's NY after all.

Complex Nail Art + Gel with Sasa - The designs are intricate and beautifully executed. Sasa is very attentive to detail and thorough. Highly recommended!

Amazing service and quality. My nails look absolutely stunning and the ambience is immaculate. It's quiet even though it's in Manhattan and the nail techs really focus on your nails during the appointment. I would highly recommend

My favorite place to get my nails done in the city. If you're anything like me and have super brittle nails, you like to bite your nails, or your regular gel manicure always peels within the first week, don't wait any longer and come here! $60 for Japanese gel manicure that will last so long without peeling. I got extensions which is $120 and so worth it for the amount of detail and precision and care they use every time. I think if you recommend someone both parties get a discount. they also have eyelash services too!

I've been to this nail studio couple times before and I've always liked how my nails came out. And this time they absolutely aced it. I somehow planned Disneyland and Disneyworld in a same month, and I wanted to get my nails done to hype up my 2 back-to-back Disney trips. The original reference designs I sent to M&M Studio was little too much, but they were quite accommodating and patient with design changes throughout our texts. My nail tech was extremely thorough with the designs, and she was so nice as well. In my experience so far, other nail shops are like toss of a coin - sometimes you'll get good work, sometimes you won't. This place, however, will deliver solid work every time.

High quality work! Every nail tech there is skillful and nice, the receptionists being courteous and efficient. They have magnetic/cat eye gel polish as well!!

Just updating my review, as it has been a while. I continue to love M&M Nail Studio. I have lately been going to Michi and she is amazing. I honestly think all of the women at M&M are amazing, so you can't really go wrong. Adding to my photos two cycles of Halloween nails from the past 6 weeks.

They got me in in an hour, and they were right on time. Clean, airy salon. I had an appointment for a non gel pedicure and they were able to add on a non-gel manicure at the same time. Both technicians were really nice. The manicure was incredible, one of the best ever, it lasted a week with no chipping. The pedicure was strangely rushed and the polish on my roes started to wear off after 1 week which has never happened to me before.

They ruined my big toe nail because there unsanitary and caused an infection. I have to say if you dont want to lose a toe nail dont go here.

Love this place but today I went and the pricing just did not make sense. If you ever want to switch to a regular pedi after they did your gel pedi last time, please note that they will charge you for the gel removal (even when they did the work). Normally removal is free from this salon if they did the work, but not in this case. I found that to be a very annoying surprise because for all that I would have either taken it off myself or went for the gel again (I mean really, make it make sense). On the bright side, Yuka does a 5 star job every single time.

My go to place for everything gel. I've gotten gel manicures, gel extensions, and gel pedicures throughout the year and it never disappoints. I've only experienced friendly/accommodating service here so it keeps me loyal. Whatever design/inspiration I bring, they do a great job collaborating and delivering. Always very clean and the ceilings are so high that I never feel crammed in there. Highly recommend!

I have been coming to this nail salon for a while now. The new location is a lot nicer and the pedicure chairs and pedicure area is more comfortable. I usually stick to a regular gel manicure but today decided to mix it up and get art as well. I usually don't pick a nail tech when I schedule the appointment, because every nail tech is great with the gel manicures. I have had done gel art a handful of times and I have forgotten the name of the techs (sorry). I have posted pics of the nail art I have had done here. Today Oza did my manicure. She had great attention to detail, was attentive to me, my cuticles look great, the polish is smooth, the art is dainty and is just what I asked for. I like my nails cut short because they tend to grow fast, she gave me exactly what I asked for. I asked her if she would be available next month so when I book I know to choose her name. Unfortunately she is not available. Looking forward to my next appointment

They always do the best job and I am always happy with my nails. Worth the money and the technicians are very skilled.

Honestly I feel like I just broke up with a boyfriend. After three years of utter loyalty from my end I find myself needing to find a new nail place. I survived the price hike with the move & the era of barely any techs on staff (forced to wait weeks for an appt) to now this: required tip minimums and feeling like the customer has absorbed most if not all the costs of their bigger place/wages of the techs. I completely understand that as a business you have to turn a profit to keep the doors open but at what cost? Finding balance between keeping the customer and the techs happy is tricky I get it. I tip anywhere from 10-22% depending on many things and that should be okay especially if I keep coming back. Email all of your customers and clearly outline that an 18% tip is required, your price changes and how pricing on art is dependent on who is doing it. But likely $6-11 per finger seems to be the current scale. Tip culture is getting outrageous and loyalty here gets you nothing but a free removal (and only if it's their polish). I miss having a regular girl here as I knew what to expect and even that I understand why it cannot be. So as I sit here and round the corners of the sharpest nails ever (hours after leaving) I must pay tribute to what M&M used to be: my happy place. My nails throughout the years and realizing I've literally spent thousands of dollars in the years I was a customer featured frequently on their instagram because I always had a cute sample idea

Went to M&M for the first time over a month ago and other than growth, my gel manicure is still in great shape. I went with a friend and we both got gel manicure with designs. Mika did my nails - she did a great job with my design and was super detailed and sweet. Thank you M&M can't wait to come back!

I've been going to m&m on and off for year, but most recently I've been there every 3 weeks for my nail apt. The staff is extremely skilled and professional, and my nails which used to be short and stubby are now long and strong. I never thought my natural nails would look like this.

I'm going to break this down for you as follows; I'm going to tell you all of the negatives about this joint, but you see the five star review? That's all you gotta know. I've watched this place make girls cry before. Yes, two sides of the story. One of them was I think homie was late, so they cut her appt (either her mani or pedi), when she was paying she begged them to stay open later, they would not. She tried to make another appt and they warned her if she was late again they would not accept her as a customer anymore!! LIKE! WHAT! They are so busy they do not need you. THEY ARE SO BUSY! Like no joke, I take time off of work to get my nails done. I rebook as I'm checking out, so 3 weeks out is when I'm booking. The receptionist are usually short with you. Do not take it personally. I would not get a pedi here - this is not because of anything other than, thats not their specialty and it's so hard to book that amount of time slot for nails + pedicures. BUT THEY ARE SO EFFING GOOD. Like every freaking time I leave I get complimented by nails from strangers, from friends from whomever. Anything you want they will do. They accommodate anything you want to do or on your nails. I ask for them thinner, or thicker, I want art or jewelry on my nails, whatever. I was told that pricing is not that great (but this was someone that lived in NJ so...), but I've shopped around and really...really for what they do, I think their prices are phenomenal. They recently moved and it looks like a bigger space so maybe they'll be able to hire more people and more appointments will open up. But worth it. Worth all of it.

Only place I go! I have been going to Mikiko for years, and if she's not available the rest of the team is also great. They do the best job, my nails always last so long and in great shape

Nana is just an amazing nail artist! Art is abstract and subjective. Even with the perfect idea in mind, how to make it come to life and illustrate it is really challenging. It is rare to have an artist who can quickly grasp one's desired art style, and nailing the ask at first attempt. Her attention to detail, intricate drawing techniques, and unparalleled creativity makes her an extremely well-rounded artist. I've made a couple of challenging requests, Totoro, little mermaid, and flags (sorry, Nana!), and she completely exceeded my expectations in all of them (see for yourself in the pictures!). She never ceases to amaze me with her nail artwork. A rare breed of artistic talent and a joy to spend a few hours with during nail work

I came here for wedding nails and I couldn't be happier. The nails turned out great and they were super accommodating. Koga was my nail artist and she was sooooo amazingly talented. Highly highly recommend.

Tami is the very best at Gel Nails for pedicures (I'm CERTAIN nails as well but I only was pampered with a pedicure :). If I could give her a 10 stars, I completely would do so. Tami is quick, thorough and very detailed oriented. Please ... More

Update: I echo a lot of the sentiment about m&m. Costs went up and customer service has def gone down. I've been going here for 7 years. I came in for my birthday nails and there is a 10% coupon if its your bday. They refused to honor it because I didn't pay cash. I mentioned I've been a customer for 7 years. They didn't care. I've moved to Brooklyn and now I've decided to break up and finally find a new nail spot.

Great French tip gel manicure. One chipped somehow and they fixed it for free. Will definitely go back. Everyone's nails looked great there!!

Mari is the best any inspiration I bring she brings to life above and beyond my nails last me 3-4 well weeks always the vibe is super peaceful they have me for life!!!

My nails were horrific before this! Bliss is the best nail technician I've ever been to and the image I had of what I wanted turned out to be exactly that which almost never happens when you go into any salon. She was so detailed, she went over each nail in every angle when it came to filing, shaping, cutting and painting and made the tiniest revisions where needed. She was so accommodating and patient when I was telling her what I wanted and took her time. All of my requests were centered around keeping an all natural look and color which I'm very particular about since it's hard to attain that with a nail that isn't yours. I could not be happier with finding her and with the outcome! Thank you SO much! Go to Bliss! She'll make your nail vision come to life.

The nail technicians are super sweet and talented!! love getting my nails done here and the "anime" lash extension style is super cute if you have almond size eye shape. So worth checking out!

The best! I highly recommend. I have been getting my nails and eyebrows done here a few times. Very thorough! Love my cat eye nails!

The website says gel removal from other salons is +10 but I was charged $25. My nail artist crossed off the $10 and changed it to $25 without any explanation. I do not appreciate being taken advantage of. This is after the salon was out of 2 nail colors in their color book so I was stuck with my 3rd choice of color. I will be going back to Yukie Natori salon and suggest you do too!

This place is overpriced. You can get your nails done at different places for way cheaper. The ladies here are very nice but I don't think it's worth it. If you want extensions, please do not go here. My cousin got a 1.5 extension with a basic color and it turned out to be $130 not including tip. They also made her pointer figure nail crooked. I went here and got a 2 extension with French tips and it costed $160 not including tip. There are way better options and better places to go to.

I got an expensive Japanese gel manicure which is supposed to last minimum 2 weeks. Before I left the mail appointment I could tell it was applied very poorly . Within less than A week my nails have started popping off and chilling and causing my nails to break. Bad quality
