About

Mars Nails is a private studio at 11 Broadway, close to Bowling Green, Wall Street and Battery Park, with several subway lines nearby. Services are scheduled by appointment in a quiet space rather than taken as walk-ins. Hours are Monday to Friday 10am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 6pm.

The studio was founded by Margarita Yutsaytis, who came to nails after a career in finance. She began by doing nails for family, then trained with educators from several countries, focusing on e-file preparation, gel application, shaping and how products behave on the natural nail. After moving to New York she kept working with clients and refining her technique, and she later opened the studio in the Financial District.

Pedicures are waterless and done with an e-file, with no soaking. Reusable metal tools are sterilized between appointments, and files and disposable abrasives are used once. Gel color is applied close to the cuticle in a thin, even layer, and gel services carry a six-day repair window for chipping, cracking or lifting when reported with a photo. Builder gel has its own terms after six days.

Nail designs are offered only with gel services, not with regular or dry pedicures. Clients can send inspiration photos before the visit to help plan timing, materials and detail, and design add-ons should be chosen when booking so enough time is reserved. Existing acrylic, dip powder or hard gel needs a removal option selected at booking.

The studio does not treat nail fungus, and technicians may decline service if signs of a possible fungal infection are present. Pedicures are cosmetic foot care and do not include treatment of infections or medical foot conditions.

The salon starts each manicure by examining the natural nail, and only then selects products and any added structure, which is used when the nails call for it. According to the salon, its manicure method centres on cuticle care, nail shaping and polish application carried out with precision.

A quiet studio where each visit is booked ahead.
