Nail On 5th is a nail salon tucked right on 5th Avenue in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood, serving a steady stream of locals who appreciate a clean, welcoming space to refresh their nails. The salon keeps its atmosphere modern and easygoing, with good music setting a relaxed tone as you choose from an extensive palette of nail colors. This attention to a comfortable vibe makes it not just a place to get a quick manicure or pedicure, but a spot where people often linger, chatting with friendly technicians who clearly enjoy what they do.

People who come here benefit from the patient and personal approach of the staff — it’s common for nail techs to test out colors on themselves to help with tough decisions, which speaks to the attentive service you can expect. Whether you’re someone who likes to stick with trusted choices or you arrive unsure and in need of suggestions, the team’s accommodating nature helps you settle on a look you’ll be happy with. This kind of hands-on involvement also shines through when clients come back for minor fixes or touch-ups, treated with the same careful attention as a full session.

The neighborhood feel is important at Nail On 5th. It’s the kind of place you might find yourself visiting regularly, as many do, for everything from everyday nail care to more significant occasions — weddings or other events that call for that extra bit of polish. The space’s clean, contemporary design pairs well with the ease of 5th Avenue’s pedestrian flow, making it a natural stop when you want to combine some self-care with a stroll through the area.

This salon is best for Brooklynites and visitors who want a straightforward, friendly setting without fuss. Mornings and weekday afternoons tend to be quieter, ideal if you prefer a calmer visit, while weekends bring a livelier energy with a mix of local regulars and newcomers. Overall, Nail On 5th offers exactly what you hope for in a neighborhood nail salon: dependable quality, attentive care, and a comfortable environment to sit back and enjoy the small but satisfying ritual of nail maintenance.

Clean and modern facilities. Always good music and ambiance. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Karen was patient and kind with my indecision and after I narrowed down from 6 different colors she tested three of them on her fingers so I could be sure in my choice. Good conversations with her and other staff. Went in for a touch up on one thumbnail which they fixed like magic. It was split in the fingernail from my initial visits 2 weeks ago. The man there fixed my thumb this time around and I’m convinced he’s a magician. Reasonably priced, and they had holiday gift at check out which I thought was a nice touch for clients. 10/10 would recommend. Pictures are nails 2.5 weeks old, my natural nails with gel polish. Left thumb is fresh paint and redo.

They were so kind and helpful! I wasn’t sure how the nail color I chose would look so one of the workers painted the color I chose on their own nails and showed me to make sure I liked it. Very kind and patient and did a great job

I’ve been getting my nails done here for about a year and I’ve always been happy with them. John did a wonderful job with my dip powder wedding manicure. Thank you Nail on 5th!!
