Flaire Nails

Cindy and Fong at Flaire Nails are the absolute best! I have lived all over NYC and this is my favorite spot. They take such care of their clients and have such attention to detail. Their work always lasts so long and they provide a caring and relaxing experience. Recommend bringing cash for payment and tip.

Visiting town and called before the shop even opened and Cindy got me in that morning! She did an incredible job with dip powder! I love my nails! Salon is super friendly and relaxed. Thoroughly enjoyed my 10 min bonus chair massage too! Try Flaire you will not regret it.

Loved the gel mani that I got here! I can’t find a better pic but this was about 7-10 days after I got the mani.

I have been living in NYC for 10 years and this salon is the BEST pedicure that I have ever had. They take real care of your feet. It makes a huge difference, these ladies actually care about what they do and they are sooo sweet! I would travel for them. Must go!

This is the first salon I tried in my neighborhood and I have no reason to try any others. Cindy, Fong and Stephanie are so kind and take their time with their clients. My mani/pedis always last 2+ weeks and the prices are very reasonable. Bring cash for a discount. Go pay these ladies a visit, you will be glad you did!

Very nice people & pretty color options. Pedicure was long which is great as they didn't rush. Would go back for sure!

Cannot say enough nice things about this salon, Cindy and staff. Beautiful job on our nails, but beyond that they were so kind and helpful. 20 years in business and established regular clients, but we were welcomed like old friends. ️

Love my gel manicure
And love this place, the staffs are super friendly and professional

They tried to scam my friends to say $100 tip is mandatory and $50 extra for Amex credit card. Until I called and let them know we know the law, then they tried to become nice and asked we don’t put review for them so they can continue to try to scam people.

Very happy with the customer service here, they were so attentive and friendly! Also did a great job with my nails and the prices are amazing, id definitely recommend:)

Stephanie saved my live! My feet feels like I’m floating! Cindy has my hands looking fabulous! I recommend anyone to this salon. Very friendly and professional!

I had such an amazing experience with Cindy. She was not only sweet and hilarious but was gentle and talented with my nails. Will be coming back when im in the city. Thanks, Cindy!

I came in for a design on gel nails and so did my sister.

The nail “artists” hand drew stars out my nails, as requested. We even provided photos.

The “stars” were sloppy, the “gel” polished chipped in 3 days, and it was overall just a bad experience.

My nails were done by Cindy and my sister’s by Fong. I wish I took pictures but I was too embarrassed to share! I didn’t want anyone to see my nails up close.

Please do not come here, regardless of the amazing photos you see in the reviews! I went out of my way to go to this salon due to their reviews and I see that I was fooled.

Love coming to Flaire Nails! Cindy is so kind and always remembers little details about her customers. Best in the neighborhood. Highly recommend for a mani/pedi or any of their other services!

Flaire nails is the best! Fong & Cindy are so hard working & they do a great great job on manicures and pedicures & all of their services! The nails polish last for a long time too! They have a good following & are very busy but always can get you an appointment. I highly recommend going to Flair nails. You will be happy you went!

I go to Flaire Nails every 2 weeks and always leave with nails I LOVE. I got this special design today for my birthday and can’t stop looking at my nails! Cindy and Fong are very kind and friendly and make every client comfortable.

High quality service and very professional team. My massage was really good and my nails came out perfect.the place is super clean and organized. Perfection!

Could someone please post the updated prices please?

friendly and good service

Love these ladies! They work with such detail and are very thorough. I never write reviews this is my first one I felt compelled to write bc they were so great.

The girls that work in here are incredible, so sweet and meticulous with their work! I have never had a ‘go to’ nail salon but this one is gonna be a first!

First time getting nails done in the city and chose Flair for the great reviews. Great experience! Cindy is wonderful! Everyone there was so great. Call ahead of time to make an appointment. I like how safe and clean everything is. They have a great selection and Cindy has a Greta eye for the best color for you. I tried this modern french manicure and I love it. By the way, these are my real nails.

I definitely recommend. They have a great reputation.

Eyebrow waxing was very nice! I love my brows BUT my nails were awful… a white tip with dip acrylic was used. The nails were lifting and popping off by day 2… I got them on a Thursday, here I am Tuesday with no nails since Sunday. Very expensive for not so good work…I actually came here because the reviews were so good BUT I didn’t have a good experience.

Cindy and Fong do a great job! I wanted a fun modern French and that’s exactly what I got. Fong was so patient and got the shape exactly as I needed it and helped me switch colors when we realized the first choice was too light. Nails look great and the ladies are so sweet!

First time coming here and will be back for sure! Cindy did an amazing job on my nails she took her time, did not rush at all, and made sure you liked your nails. Had a great experience with Cindy and Fong they make you feel at home here.

Miss Cindy was an absolute sweetheart! She did an amazing job on my nails and I’m so excited I found her! The vibes and energy were amazing! Perfect place!

I highly recommend this salon to everyone! The staff are super friendly, especially CINDY who is the best and saved my nails literally. I got to my appointment and they were already ready for me and the prices are affordable (especially for such an expensive neighborhood).

Wow! This place is a hidden gem. The women who work here are the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met. They did my mani & pedi in no time and were superbly friendly throughout. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you live in the upper east side look no further for your new nail salon! Prices are great for NYC.

A hidden gem! The kindest duo in all of NYC make flaire nails a treat to visit.private, quiet, clean, efficient, & relaxing. Consistently 10/10!

I have been going to Cindy and Fong for many years. It is a small salon and during covid times it is safe, clean and you will not be with a lot of people. They are so kind and caring and give the best manicure, pedicure, and massages! I always feel relaxed and happy when I leave!

This place is amazing! The women who work here are so kind, personable and they do an excellent job! This salon is a small place but very homey and I thoroughly enjoy my experience every time I come. The manicure/pedicure also lasts forever! Highly recommend this salon! This is the best place on the UES!

Flaire nails is the former Idea nails. They are one of the best nail salons I’ve ever been to in NYC. So friendly, accommodating and most importantly they do a great job. Highly recommend to anyone in the Upper East Side!

Cindy and Fong are amazing! This is best quality nail salon in the area with unbeatable prices. If you are looking for a place that feels like home-this is your spot.

My manicure and pedicure not only looked amazing but lasted longer than ever. I was also having a problem with dirt being stuck under my fingernails and Cindy is such an expert that she was able to fix the issue. True professionals.

This salon is great - I highly recommend to anyone in the neighborhood! My manicures and pedicures have always lasted a long time, look great, and the women who work here are amazing - They truly care about their customers and make sure you have a great experience!

My experience at this place was impeccable. Not only was the place clean and welcoming, but the service provided to me was given with full professionalism. I've only recently discovered this place and I fell in love with it immediately. CINDY was so sweet and caring, I felt very comfortable around her and absolutely loved her. She's very good at her job and I HIGHLY recommend this place!

I could not have asked for a better experience. This was my first time going to this nail salon and it definitely won’t be my last. The service was fantastic and the results speak for itself. I absolutely loved Cindy. She’s very meticulous about her work and definitely one of the sweetest people ever. From the cleanliness of the place to the amazing customer service from the staff. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Absolutely the best experience I ever had. A very welcoming place with outstanding services. The nail technicians were all amazingly skilled, however Cindy in particular did a phenomenal job at my manicure and pedicure. She is so passionate about her occupation and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a 5 star experience. I love this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I usually get pedicures and manicures from Cindy. She is always nice and professional at her occupation. We converse often while she pampered me and made sure everything she did was great! She always does a great job especially when I get gel. Amazing customer service, I have been here for almost a year now and I don’t regret it one bit.

Amazing experience and such a clean environment.cindy had an amazing aura radiating off through the workplace.a must go to. She even offered me some traditional asian food.she treats everyone as if she’s part of your family.

Absolutely the BEST nail salon! SO friendly and treated each customer with the most respect and kindness. Could not have had a better experience! Would recommend to anybody!

During our trip to NY my girls found this place. They had their nails done on Saturday and just raved how great their experience was. They said I should go and be pampered too so I went there on Sunday. These ladies remembered my daughter's by name! They were so sweet and did a fantastic job. We will DEFINITELY be back.

One of my nails (acrylic) broke the day after I got them done here & I was charged 5 dollars the next day.all I did was put on a shoe and it broke. Not only that but they were very uneven and looked like I got them done a week ago.while she was doing the same nail that broke the day after she kept talking under her breath and being very rude when I told her that there was a large space that didn’t have glitter- it looked very different from the rest of the set.
