We Think Your Nail Ritual Should

Feel as Good as it Looks

As Seen In:

Elevated Nail Care

At Lili and Cata, we exclusively use non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free nail products free of harsh chemicals, creating a calm, thoughtfully curated space that smells fresh rather than dominated by strong chemical odors. So whether you’re bringing your pregnant best friend, your little ones, or simply carving out some well-deserved time for yourself, you can relax, settle in, and enjoy truly guilt-free, nourishing self-care.

Tub-free Service

We're transforming how you experience nail care with waterless manicures and pedicures. Our treatments offer an indulgent alternative without sacrificing the luxury of your nail care ritual. We kickstart your experience with a refreshing antibacterial spray infused with natural essential oils like lemongrass and peppermint, ensuring your hands and feet are clean and prepared for pampering. Warm towels replace soaking tubs, maintaining the comfort and relaxation you deserve.

Hospital-grade Safety

Your safety is our highest priority. That’s why we created the Clean Cube—a dedicated sterilization station designed to uphold the highest standards of hygiene. More than simple sanitizing or disinfecting, the Clean Cube addresses all three essential levels of decontamination. While many salons meet only minimum legal requirements by disinfecting metal tools, we go further by using a hospital-grade autoclave. The result is a cleaner, safer, and healthier nail care experience you can trust.

Sips & Tips

Relax, refresh, and rejuvenate in our signature saloon, where you can enhance your nail service by indulging in a beverage of your choice. Whether you're in the mood for a warming cup of coffee, a soothing tea, or wish to unwind with a selection from our bar, we invite you to enjoy a drink while we take care of your nails. It's all part of our commitment to providing you with a relaxing, luxurious experience. So sit back, sip, and let us pamper you to the fullest.

Polish & Pour

In addition to our spa services, we offer a full espresso bar and a wine bar for your pleasure. Whether you’re stopping in for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a beautifully executed manicure, every visit is meant to feel indulgent and truly relaxing.

Testimonials

  • "By far the most beautiful, comfortable, accommodating, and just best nail salon I’ve ever been to. I don’t go anywhere else anymore. Everyone I bring with me loves it too, including my two little daughters, who had a blast and were so nicely treated by their incredibly sweet staff. The outdoor garden is a true oasis, and all of their products are non-toxic and last for a really long time. Highly recommended!"

  • "I expect it, but it surpasses expectations every darn time. Lili and Cata is a gem in a city of mediocre nail salons. From the front door to the bathroom to the bar to the heaven is a place on earth garden, Lili and Cata is a escape from your world into one of the best spa services you could ask for, served with smiles, delicious bevies and snacks and a side of serenity. My nails are gorgeous, my skin is supple, my feet are baby smooth and I am blissed out for days. Thank you everyone @ L&C!"

  • "This place is a magical little oasis. It smelled fantastic, it was so clean, I was greeted the second I walked in, and the nail technicians went above and beyond. This isn't your typical NYC nail salon that rushes to finish your manicure so that they can take the next person. They truly take their time and it feels like they're working on a piece of art."

  • "I have been a loyal Lili & Cata customer for years now, it's seriously the only place I will go. It is gorgeous, sparkling clean, and they always do the best job on my nails! Elena is my favorite tech for my gel manicures, and Cristy is my go-to for Apres Gel Extensions - that being said, you can't go wrong with any of the techs here ❤️ The owners are lovely too! Cannot speak highly enough of this salon, I recommend it to anyone who will listen"
