Issa Nail Salon

Quick, cheap and thorough is what you’ll get at this cheerful, floral-accented salon on the Upper East Side (its prime location next to the 6 and F trains make it a favorite with commuters). Pay $12 for a full manicure, complete with keratin gloves and a miniature hand and back massage. (Want an extra 10 minutes of kneading? Just add $10 to the bill.) For more in-depth pampering, sign up for the Spa Pedicure ($68), which includes a 15-minute massage, mud mask for the legs and a full manicure service.
