Patch Picks: Top Nail Spots

Summertime is the best time to get your fingernails and toenails polished to perfection. Here are some salons that’ll make you proud to show your feet.

(143 W. Putnam Ave., Greenwich; 203-661-6625): Two Patch readers recently told us Empy is a great choice for those seeking a flawless, moderately priced manicure or pedicure. Open on weekdays, the plush spa offers cushy chairs and a wide, open space for those seeking beauty treatments in a relaxed environment.

Tiffany’s Nails (348 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich; 203-661-3838): Need a pedicure that isn’t too pricy? Pop into Tiffany’s Nails during lunch hour. Customers from near and far give the place props for “divine” results at a reasonable cost. Warning: The spot’s been known to get crowded at times.

Hopscotch Salon (10 Railroad Ave., Greenwich; 203-661-0107): Hopscotch is largely known for its cutting-edge hairstylists, but those who come to polish up their fingers and toes have claimed that Patricia offers the best nail services in town.  

Warren-Tricomi Salon (1 E. Putnam Ave., Greenwich; 203-863-9300): Known for its high-end hairstyling services, Warren-Tricomi offers indulgent-sounding milk-and-honey pedicures, sports pedicures, reflexology and paraffin hand treatments. The result: Gorgeous nails and soft, supple skin.

Avenue Nails and Spa (375 Greenwich Ave., Greenwich; 203-552-9222): For a manicure on the cheap that lasts at least a week, head to this cozy, low-key nail spot. Shoulder rubs are par for course as you wait for polish to dry.

Allura Salon and Spa (23 W. Putnam Ave., Greenwich; 203-869-1234): Allura offers a wide range of mani-and-pedi services, from polish changes to paraffin treatments, at its Putnam Avenue digs. Prices are decent, and there’s plenty of polish shades to choose from, too.
