DASHING DIVA 72ND WEST

EDIT* After reading some previous reviews, I see now that they are rude and aggressive to many other customers about the tip. There are other reviews dating back years about this. It's a shame because apparently there are some talented nail techs here but some are very rude.*** I will never go to Dashing Diva on 72nd again. The nail tech who did my nails today was rude and demanded a higher tip. As she was charging my debit card she asked me to give her a "tip in cash". I only had $7 cash on me, so I handed that to her and was going to leave an additional tip on the debit card receipt. She looked at the $7, scoffed, and said "this isn't 20%... the total is $94.50." I told her I was going to leave an additional tip on my card because $7 cash is all I had on me. She was rude in the exchange

So many things wrong with today’s experience. It all started great on a positive note, I arrived early for my 2:15p appointment, was seen at about 2:25p (no biggy). I called ahead and explained I needed do a UV gel fill- in. I normally go around my home in New Milford, NJ. However, pressed for time and ONLY because I had a gift card given to me for my birthday for this location, I took advantage of my lunch break time. The nail specialist was nice. She asked if I was on my break from work and I said “yes, I have an hour”. Minutes later she asks, “you’re not on your break, right?”, and I kindly responded, “yes, I have a little less than 60 minutes”, as if she was asking for the first time. Ok, no cause for alarm. A little forgetfulness happens. At first I thought her slow pace was more o

I saw so many negative reviews and felt the need to share my many positive experiences here. I’ve been to many places on the UWS but this has been my go to in terms of cleanliness, consistency, and overall pleasant atmosphere. They do my nails so well and I go in with trust every time!

I’ve lived in NYC for 11 years and been to hundreds of nail places. This is by far the worst manicure I’ve ever gotten. I paid nearly $53 for a gel manicure that is already coming off. My nails are very short and broken but the technician didn’t even paint my whole nail.

I went in for tips (and paid a fortune) and my nails look ridiculous — the manicurist failed to fill in between the lower end of the tip and the cuticle, and you can visibly see the separation. The tips are chunky and obvious. A kindergartner could have done a better job. This was a COMPLETE waste of money, time, energy. Highly recommend utterly avoiding this place.
