Arcadian Nails

First time there. I walked in a Saturday and there was no wait. The woman who did my nails was not great. She was filing my nails and my skin at the same time. She was rough on the cuticles. Thw first thing she did went i got in the pedicure chair was to whip out a laminated chart with choices of packages the cheapest being $ 75. That was a mani /​pedi and a 10 minute massage. I said i just want a regular mani/​pedi because I didnt have a lot of time and wasnt looking for a massage. She said oh. Anyway she proceeds to do both mani/​pedi. I told her it was my first time there. The owner was very friendly and chatted while i was under dryers but no one offered a drink of water or anything and when my manicure was almost done i asked for quick dry (after i had paid) and she told me it was $ 1
I paid it no protest from me but still, the tiny droplets you put on my nails you couldn’t spare? Anyway overall a very, as Unilocal says, a very Meh experience. Will definitely not be going back.

Hoping my five star review will bump up the Unilocal status — well deserved. Always very nice and able to be seen in a decent time at rush hour. Convenient location and manicure lasted over a week! Will be a regular here!

First time at this place and I’ve lived in Ossining for 3 years… I work and groom in the city for everything so high prices etc. don’t scare me… Julia was great, music was so relaxing and for $ 40 I got a great massage and pedicure and it was so clean and pleasant and everyone works so hard here and very professional… I don’t get the negative reviews… I’ve been to a ton of salons all over Manhattan and this one was of equal caliber. Very happy I went and this will definitely be my weekend spot now!

Everytime I visit my parents, I treat myself to a visit at this salon. I love the clean, light atmosphere, and I have never found another place that gets my feet so soft. Today, I went with my sister and my 2 daughters (ages 16 and 8), and we all had great experiences. The little one is still so excited by the cute little flower designs that the do for kids. I splurged for the quick chair massage — and it was definitely worth the price. I left feeling infinitely more relaxed than when I came in.

My first time here this morning and i got a french manicure. It is already destroyed. Looks like i got ot a week ago. All i did was drive. The towel during the manicure was not evem hot. For this price, i expected way more. Won’t be back.

Still expensive, but you can get quality service depending on who is doing your nails. There are a lot of people who work here, so it can be hit or miss. The color selection is great, facilities are nice and they hired Grace, who gives the BEST massages while you wait for your nails to dry.

Just left Arcadian Nails for the first time and was pleasantly surprised after reading the reviews. I called beforehand to make sure they accepted credit cards and that you could tip on the card because I was in a rush but had no cash on me. They told me yes, but when I got there, it turned out there was a $ 20 minimum and they don’t really accept tips on the card. Terry was super nice about it which I really appreciated. Everyone was extremely pleasant and Terry did a nice job on my nails. While their prices aren’t the best in the area, it’s very convenient to stop in while in that shopping plaza.

I LOVE this salon!
They are the most respectful, professional, cleanly salon in Ossining.
Reviewers who are not pleased should look at their expectations closely for clues to their displeasure. These women work very hard to please their customers and I have never seen anyone treated rudely — EVER.

I don’t really write reviews but I feel the need. This place was so bad. I need to get pedicures because I am a big guy and put some hurt on my feet. I was instantly rushed in and sat down and before my feet hit water they were clipping my toes. Lisa rushed me in and tried to up sell whatever she could. 2 minutes into the pedicure she cut my toe and there was blood. She poured something into the cut which made it sting but I am hoping it was to prevent infection. It looked to me like she knew how to do that. Normally I like to let my feet soak for at least 30 seconds before getting into it but not here. Then it was just more pain and I paid $ 45 for the worst spa pedicure I have ever received. By the time I got home there was dried blood all over my toe so I really hope it does not get infected.

I was very disappointed with the service the last time I went to Arcadian nails. Lisa (message therapist) did my eyebrows and not only did she rushed me but the job was not well done. They charge more for tweezing eyebrows, however she spent 3 minutes with me. If she had spend little time but the job came out well, I wouldn’t be as disappointed but I had to go home and finish her job.
Also, just an observation; to most women getting their nails done, eyebrows, etc, it’s a treat, it’s our «me time», therefore feeling rushed is upsetting. And also, it’s more expensive to tweeze your eyebrows than it is to get a regular manicure there so you would think that they would give you more than just 3 minutes of their time. However, the place is very clean and inviting.

I have gotten shellac manicures and pedicures with them. I also bring my daughter and she gets her nails done and they always put cute designs on her nails. They are very friendly and I never have to wait which I love because I hate waiting! However they are very pricey, they charge more than other places in Mount Kisco and Scarsdale. But it’s right near my house so it’s very convenient for me to go to and they always do a great job! I would go there more often if the prices were a little more reasonable.

Great manicure place! $ 11 and my nails look great. Very friendly and got an awesome shoulder massage while my nails dried dor 10 minutes. Best nail massage I’ve ever had. I will be back!

Yes, they’re overpriced but for a simple manicure that does last a week $ 11 is fair. Everything else there is overpriced. Cash tips only. Their massages while your nails are drying are a plus, but isn’t that what you’re manicure is supposed to include? Always friendly… ill keep going there because it’s right near my job. Watch me have a bad experience after writing this review

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, wonderful massage while your nails r drying. A little pricer than other salons in the area but for what u get, well worth it!

So even after seeing the three previous reviews that said this joint was overpriced, me being the dumbass I am, I still came to this nail salon anyway. Hey, its close to my job and was better than the one in Croton where the technicians didn’t know how to do a friggin fill!
So I’m inside and its very clean and a lot more spacious than most places I’ve been too. Mad ‘technicians’ than the norm. I sit down and the owner I presume asks me what I have and what I want … she then proceeds to tell me that they do NOT do acrylic fills but only gel, and they also have gel color. Here comes the whopper:
«Gel fill is 50 $ and gel color is 15 $.»
Que me choking and my eyes poppin out of my head.
What do I do? I get them done anyway…
I’m weird in the way that sometimes I won’t say no and since the place was clean, I also go with the mindset of ‘try it once.’ Yes, my total came to 85 $ with tip but I gave it a shot and we will see just how long these nails last and yadda yadda. I mostly likely will not be returning bc thats three times what I normally pay (usually 25 $) but whatever. Also this one guy working there gave me a bitchin back massage! And I don’t mean a lame 3 minute rub on the shoulders either, he legit worked my neck out for 10 mins with some deep movements! That was kinda worth the trip here more than the nails!
Moral of my experience though– 3x inflated prices, took twice as long as normal, and I wasn’t even offered a complimentary line of blow after nearly dropping 100 $ here. Unless you have Daddy Warbucks flowing dough into your Gucci, skip this place and find another that can do good work, in half the time and at a third of the price. Nice and friendly people but hot damn, I can’t afford 200 $ a month on nails when I’m used to spending 50 $. NAH AH!
ALSO, only cash for tips– do take credit but no tip line on cards.

I agree… this place was ok. They were very nice, and did a decent job. However, Very overpriced! I could see paying extra if you got a little extra massage or something.

Very Rude Manicurist. My mani/​pedi look ok but I could not get over the hostile attitude of the woman doing them. She didn’t say thank you, goodbye, or anything else for that matter, just swatted my hand/​foot when she needed me to move it. Also, no massage as my nails were drying which I watched 3 other women do.
The manager was nice, but the lady doing the nails, horrendous. Will not be going back.

This place is just OK, I can’t really say anything bad nor can I really say anything good. They are very over priced for the area. Its Ossining not Manhattan, they charge around $ 40 for a pedicure that’s just ok. I’ve had a much better and cheaper pedicure at other places in the area.
They also have really crappy hours, only open until 7 during the week. My guess is anyone who can afford to spend $ 60 on a mani and a pedi works in the city, we are not home by 7.
