Issa Nail

Manicures and pedicures are a quiet ritual on the Upper East Side, where sidewalks hum with the rhythm of errands and afternoon coffee runs. Issa Nail fits neatly into that rhythm at 1316 2nd Avenue, a storefront that keeps the neighborhood’s hands and feet polished without fuss. The salon’s identity as Asian-owned adds a layer of cultural texture to the services, which include the standard menu of filing, buffing, and lacquer—plus the small but practical detail of a restroom on-site for clients who prefer not to step out mid-appointment.

Finding the place is simple; the block between 69th and 70th Streets is lined with boutiques and cafés, making it easy to pair a visit with other stops. For directions, the map will drop you right at the door. When you’re ready to book, (646) 809-2299 is the number to call. The salon operates on the kind of no-nonsense schedule that suits the neighborhood—efficient, unadorned, and reliably there when you need it.
