New Iris nail salon

Got a dip powder manicure and a few days later I noticed a little peeling of the top coat (I think the woman who did my nails was newer?), so I went back and they were SO kind about fixing it! They went above and beyond to ensure I walked out with my nails looking flawless and the owner was just so lovely and accommodating :). I’ve been to other salons where they make you feel terrible for coming back to fix something, so this was extremely refreshing!

I had such a great experience!!!! I got UV gel extensions with an OPI color and chrome finish, and they turned out amazing. The shape was perfect, the color was exactly what I wanted, and the chrome added such a sleek, eye-catching touch. Susan was gentle, professional, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I called ahead and made an appointment. Decided to remove my UV nails rather than do a fill in. I was shocked when the tech started to do a “tear off” with a metro card. This is a fast way to remove hard gel but ruins your nails and my nails are already thin and weak. I didn’t think that salons actually did this. I asked to do a soak off. She gave me a bowl of pure acetone and left my nails soaking for FORTY FIVE minutes and didn’t look at my nails even once. This technique requires the gel to be scraped off as it is removed. After 45 minutes, I asked if she could have a look at them. She handed me a nail file to do it myself and said she needed to finish the woman who came after me so I needed to wait another 10-15 minutes. I have never been handed a file and told to do my own nails at a salon. Did not even look at my nails. Yes, it felt racist. And weird like I wasn’t actually a customer …. The women getting preferential treatment was happy to receive it lol. Not even a courteous “she was here before me” or “I can wait”. It’s this kind of acceptance that allows treatment like this to continue. I paid for my soak off and went to get my nails done at another salon. First and last time setting a foot in this place.

Best nail place in Brooklyn Heights. Everyone is very friendly and Christina always does an amazing job with my nails.

This is my go-to nail salon in BK Heights! Iris and Susan are particularly fantastic. It’s very easy to make appointments and Iris/Susan are both very attentive and super friendly/warm, with high standards for their work. Great if you’re looking for something easy, affordable, and high-quality!
