About

Nails by Mi operates from a small room with four seats at 15 Clinton Street in Manhattan. The business also runs a second location, La La Land Nail Salon, at 208 East 73rd Street in Manhattan.

The salon works with Japanese non-toxic gel nail products that it says are 10-free. It calls its gel system the world's best and says it is recognized as a leader in high-quality gel products. It also says its products are trusted by health-conscious clients who prefer non-toxic and hypoallergenic options.

A plain gel manicure is planned for about 60 minutes, while gel extensions and sculpting gel take about 90 minutes plus time for any art. Each appointment begins with a consultation. Hand-painted nail art is priced by complexity and time, and the salon says average nail art runs around $50. Walk-ins are accepted, though clients are asked to book two to three weeks ahead when possible.

Booking requires a 50% or $50 non-refundable deposit. Cancellations or changes need 48 hours' notice, and a missed notice forfeits the deposit and may be charged the full service amount. Gel removal and nail art require the matching add-on service, and removal and nail fixes are offered to returning customers only. Appointments may run 10 to 30 minutes late, so clients are asked not to book right after another appointment and to keep phone calls to a minimum during service.

The salon is open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Its listing lists a kids menu with a manicure and a pedicure, but also states that it is not kid friendly.

Built around Japanese non-toxic gel products, which the salon says are 10-free. Services are organized around gel systems, from gel polish and Gel X extensions to sculpting gel and Russian-style manicures.
