STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — It’s time to find the best place to get your nails done!
During the month of October, we want to know where we can find the borough’s best nail salons.
For our sixth Best of Staten Island category in 2025, we need your helping finding the best places to get pampered with manicures and pedicures.
It can be a long-time mom and pop shop, or a trendier, luxurious salon.
As long as the salons provide top-notch work, we want to know about it!
How do I nominate?
So how can you make sure your voice is heard?
The Advance/SILive.com will publish various social media posts on our Facebook page, our Instagram page and our TikTok page this week calling for nominations. In order for your top pick to be considered, you’ll have to mention the business in the comments. Nominations through email will not be counted.
You have until 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 13, to get your favorite nail salon on our list, so don’t delay!
After we get a list of nominations, we’ll ask our readers to whittle it down to their top three spots through an online poll.
How Best of Staten Island works
We like to keep it pretty simple for our Best of Staten Island contest. Over the course of the year, we will feature seven different “Best of” categories.
For each category, there will be one week of nominations, one week of voting and two weeks that will focus on the top winners, as chosen by our readers. Only brick-and-mortar businesses are considered, unless otherwise noted.
The top three Best of Staten Island 2025 winners in each category receive individual coverage on the Advance/SILive.com’s social media platforms and a collective feature in the Staten Island Advance.
This year, we already featured the best dance schools, best breakfast, best tacos, best burgers and best bars on Staten Island.
