About

Anika is a Japanese beauty lounge on the third floor of a building in Long Island City, offering nail services alongside spa-style treatments. The menu runs from quick gel removal and broken-nail repair to longer structured gel sets, extensions and custom designs.

The lounge works with a Japanese non-toxic hard gel. According to the business, its hard gel manicure is guaranteed to last long. Spa-style options include a scrub pedicure, a honey moisturizing treatment and a rose milk retreat, each with its own set of steps and timing.

Some services have booking rules. Fix Broken Nail, Pedi Gel Removal, Take Off Original Set and design add-ons can only be booked alongside another service, or the booking is cancelled. Gel removal is not included in the scrub pedicure, the structured gel manicure, the honey treatment, the rose milk retreat or the Gel-X extension, so clients with existing gel should plan for it.

The most involved appointment is Anika's Special Design, which combines water ink and 3D work in a style the business calls YHH. It takes about three and a half hours, and the design is sent to the business phone number after booking. Special designs are discounted and cannot be changed in design or color; customizations are charged at regular pricing. Swarovski crystals can be added to a manicure or pedicure for $1 to $25.

Focuses on Japanese-style gel work using a non-toxic hard gel, paired with spa-style hand and foot treatments.
