New Ann's Nails

New Ann's Nails is a small, family-run salon on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn, close to Brooklyn College. Walk-ins are welcome, and clients who prefer a set time can call ahead. The salon is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM and on Sundays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

A manicure includes shaping, cuticle care, a hand massage, and the polish of the client's choice, starting at $18. A pedicure adds a warm soak, a scrub, a massage, and polish, starting at $32. Gel and shellac polish are cured under UV light and start at $38; the salon says its gel stays chip-free for up to three weeks.

Acrylic full sets are sculpted to the length and shape the client chooses and start at $52. Fills or refills for acrylic or gel sets start at $35. Nail art starts at $10 and includes ombre, chrome powder, gems, and floral designs.

Prices vary with length, shape, and design, so the salon asks clients to call for an exact quote. Appointments are booked as one hour, so each visit has room to be unhurried. The salon says every tool is sterilized between clients and that its prices are lower than those at Manhattan salons.

The salon describes the space as tidy and unrushed.
