Rooted in New York.
20 Years of Beauty.

For 20 years, QQ Nails has grown alongside New York 🗽

From one neighborhood to over 40 locations, the brand has built its foundation on professional artistry, thoughtful care, and trusted relationships.

In our twentieth year, we're taking that feeling further. Every Gel Mani becomes a gift to yourself, and to another woman in our city who needs a fresh start.

Today, QQ Nails is evolving into not just a leading New York nail brand, but a model for the future of the nail industry.

Built One Client at a Time

Behind the front desk in 2006, Joey was building QQ Nails one client, one service, and one relationship at a time.

For 20 years, QQ Nails has been more than a place for beautiful nails. We have grown alongside our customers, celebrating life’s everyday moments and creating spaces where self-care, creativity and confidence come together.

We are proud to be rooted in New York City, growing in the heart of the NYC beauty community and shaped by the energy, diversity and spirit of this city we call home. From our very first location on Christopher Street in the West Village to becoming a brand across New York, our journey has always been grounded in this city and the people who make it so special.

This anniversary is a celebration of you. Your trust and support have helped QQ Nails grow from one salon into a community across New York.

To make this milestone even more meaningful, we are partnering with Garden of Hope New York and Girls Inc. of NYC to support women and girls through empowerment, education and opportunity.

Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us create a more beautiful and empowering future together :)

With love,
