Patch Picks: The Best Nail Salons

Before you put away your open-toe shoes for the fall and winter, try our favorite nail salons around town.

Manicures were invented thousands of years ago in India, but today’s nail services are anything but old fashioned. The best salons offer the newest colors, the most current technologies, and constantly updated services. Toward this end, we went in search of the best local nail spots.

Here are four of our favorite nail salons in the area:

Best Service: , Shrub Oak

Located on East Main Street in Shrub Oak, we selected Cozy Nails for its outstanding service. Top-notch nail technicians take their time to make sure that their customers leave with perfectly painted digits.  Treat yourself to a long lasting UV gel manicure (priced at $35) or the basic manicure-pedicure combinations (priced at $25 on Monday through Wednesday, and $30 the rest of the week).

Best Value: , Peekskill

If you love a great value, than you will really love Lily Nail Salon where manicure-pedicure combinations cost $20 every day. Located at the corner of Main Street and North Division Street in Peekskill, the salon’s interior décor is very minimalistic, but the polish selection is good, the nail technicians are friendly, and the prices just cannot be beat!    

Best Polish Selection: Magic Nails, Cortlandt Manor

The exceptionally broad selection of nail polish brands and colors immediately caught our attention and earned Magic Nails a spot in this week’s Patch Picks. At Magic Nails, located at 2141 Crompond Rd in Cortlandt Manor, you need never be bored by your polish colors since the newest colors from OPI and Essie are available, and older colors are constantly switched out of rotation. Manicure-pedicure combinations are reasonably priced at $23.

Editor’s Pick - Best Overall: , Yorktown Heights

We think that Rendezvous nails provides the best overall nail salon experience - friendly and attentive service, great nail polish selection, and an overall relaxing vibe. Even the prices are reasonable with $24 dollar mani-pedi combinations on Monday through Wednesday and $28 manicure-pedicures the rest of the week.
