205 Nail Salon 205 E. 26th St. (@ 3rd Ave.)
Murray Hill
212.679.0272
This nail salon feels like you just entered a modern living room. With blue torch lamps and new wooden floors, it’s hard to believe that a mani/pedi combo is only $15. Their services have zero frills, but the price is worth it. The waxing services are a reasonable $5-$25. Bare walls and a few bamboo-filled vases on the windows don’t overwhelm, and you won’t need to worry about scheduling; the salon is open every day from 9:45am-8pm. If you don’t have the patience for an hour-long manicure, the salon is a quick and wallet-friendly stop.
Insider Tip: Come prepared: Bring your own nail polish for services because their range of colors is limited. Book an appointment at least 12 days in advance because regular customers book the popular weekly time slots.
