Truth be told, nail salons are usually never destinations that visitors to any city go out of their way to seek.
In fact, most New Yorkers I know— me included- simply view them as functional places where we go for our weekly manicures and monthly pedicures. We pick our salons based on convenience and proximity to where we live or work. Given a choice, our regular spot is the one where we get the best service or find the technician we love most.
Sundays, a trio of New York City salons (the Upper East Side, Nomad and Hudson Yards) is the exception to this norm. It more than transcends the typical cookie cutter visit to be a wellness brand that encourages you to take care of yourself and creates a setting where you can do just that.
Yes, I’m a fan and will tell you from my experience that sundays is a place that any tourist or city dweller needs to make a trip to now. Can I be really honest and tell you how much it’s transformed my life? My appointments are my time to decompress and leave the daily stresses of my life behind- I come out ready to face whatever challenges I may face. Yes, all from a visit to a nail salon.
I spoke with the brand’s founder, Amy Ling Lin, who is the person behind this innovative way of approaching nail care. She’s here to tell you more about the sundays story.
Our conversation follows:
Your philosophy is that nail care equals self care. What does that mean?
We see our hands more than we see our faces, making our hands a constant reminder of self-care. People may forget how important their hands are, how capable they can be. The way you can say thank you to your hands is by taking care of your hands.
Sometimes your hands can show how busy your life is, whether it is a nail chip or dry skin, you can sometimes distinguish what people may do as an occupation. In a way, your hands can show how much you care for your well-being. So many people invest money and time to care for their appearance, especially in skincare, handbags, and apparel, but hands are so often overlooked.
Even if it’s just taking the time to paint your nails or massage your hand with your favorite lotion, you can practice self-care in these moments of silence while reflecting and appreciating the smaller things in life.
Can you describe the sundays experience?
The moment you walk in, you’re welcomed into a space that feels like home- our inspiration comes from the Danish hygge concept, a place of coziness and serenity where one can reconnect with themselves individually or among the company of people they are closest to.
We curate our nail polishes to be timeless colors to eliminate the overwhelming options, giving you more time to focus on relaxing. We serve tea while getting your manicure done and offer

When the Gansevoort hotel first opened back in 2004, the boutique property had no competition in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. “We were the only game in town, and it was just the right moment in time,” said Michael Achenbaum, the president and founder of the Gansevoort Hotel Group. That gave the boutique hotel a distinct advantage, as the neighborhood became arguably the nightlife capital in the aughts. The hotel — as well as other players, such as the restaurant Pastis and the lounge Lotus — helped speed up the growth of the Meatpacking District. But there was a tipping point. “I think there was a moment where it became too much, and the term ‘jump the shark’ was appropriate at the time,” Achenbaum said. Almost 20 years later, the neighborhood has morphed. More luxury shops like Gucci and Hermès have entered the space, Lotus is long gone, and packing plants are nowhere to be found — though Achenbaum believes there are still one or two left on the fringes of the district.
