Crème de la Crème Nails ®

The salon was founded by Angie, who started working in nails in 1998 and opened Crème de la Crème Nails after about 13 years in the business. The salon describes itself as one of the original premium nail studios, established in 2010, and a press quote calls it a neighborhood institution.

Services run from classic, Russian and luxury manicures and spa pedicures to gel polish, builder gel, soft gel, Gel-X, acrylic and powder finishes, plus hand-painted nail art. Walk-ins and appointments are both accepted, and bookings are secured with a $20 deposit confirmed by phone or text. Hours are Monday to Saturday 10am to 7pm and Sunday 10am to 6pm, and the phone number is (347) 880-8282.

Hygiene is a stated priority: tools are sterilized for every guest and the salon uses premium products. Manicurists and nail technicians are licensed and insured, and every technician can complete every service on the menu. The salon describes its space as a luxury spa-style setting and its nail care as luxury nail care.

The Nails Club is a month-to-month membership, priced monthly with taxes and fees included, with tiers from $45 to $200 per month. Members receive priority booking, members-only offers and complimentary add-ons each quarter. Memberships are non-transferable, do not carry over, renew automatically each month and need 7 days' notice to cancel. A loyalty program gives one point per visit, up to 10 points, and 10 points redeem for $10 off any service.

The salon hosts parties, bridal and group events, either in the salon or on location, and offers mobile services that bring nail care to a home, hotel, office or event venue. Waxing and nail art are also offered for children aged 2 to 10.

Aims to make each client feel comfortable and special, with a focus on building relationships with clients.
