Looking for nails on New York’s Upper East Side? Before choosing a color, decide what you need from the appointment: a regular manicure, a gel finish, a powder manicure, a pedicure, or removal of an existing product. Booking the right service helps the salon plan the visit and helps you understand the time and cost involved.

At ROW 89 Nails & Lashes, 219A East 89th Street, New York, NY 10128, the menu includes regular manicures and pedicures, color gel manicures and pedicures, and ANC powder manicures. This guide explains how to narrow down your choice and what to confirm before a UES nail appointment.

Regular polish, color gel, or ANC powder?

These are different menu choices, so be specific when booking. Your preferred finish, how often you like to change your color, and the product already on your nails are useful things to discuss with the team.

  • Regular manicure or pedicure: a starting point if you want a traditional polish appointment. Ask how much drying time to allow before putting on shoes or returning to your plans.
  • Color gel manicure or pedicure: ask about the application process, removal, and maintenance before booking. Mention any gel already on your nails.
  • ANC powder manicure: this is a separate option on our menu. Tell the team whether you have an existing powder finish, and ask what removal and reapplication involve.

No finish is automatically the right choice for everyone. Tell your technician about previous product reactions or concerns before a service, and ask questions rather than selecting a finish only because someone else likes it.

What to tell the salon when you book

A little detail can prevent a mismatch between the appointment you reserve and the work you want done. Use this short checklist when booking online or by phone:

  1. Name the service: manicure, pedicure, or both, and the finish you want.
  2. Say what is currently on your nails and whether it needs removal.
  3. Describe your preferred length and shape.
  4. Mention any design or special finish you have in mind, and ask whether it is available.
  5. Confirm the appointment length and total price, including removal or other requested extras.

Our Upper East Side manicure and pedicure menu lists the service options. For current prices, timing, and availability, check ROW 89 on Mindbody or call (212) 722-1959. A reference photo can help explain your preference, but confirm that the design can be accommodated before reserving an appointment.

Planning nails around work or an event

If you have a meeting, dinner, or celebration afterward, let the salon know your timing. Ask how much time to allow for the service and, where relevant, drying. If removal is needed, make that part of the booking conversation instead of assuming it is included in the time you reserved.

For a pedicure, ask what footwear to bring for your chosen finish. If you want to add another service, confirm availability separately. You can also browse our Upper East Side beauty visit guide for help coordinating nails with a facial or lash appointment.
