Melissa's Nails

Melissa's Nails is a neighborhood nail salon at 1019 Norton St in Rochester, NY, operating within the northeast side's 14621 community. Founded around 2010 by Melissa Didomenico, the salon has served the area for over fifteen years as a small, independently run shop. It operates with a compact team and focuses on a range of nail care treatments, from basic manicures to more involved acrylic and gel work.

The salon provides a broad selection of nail services, including:

• Acrylic nails and nail extensions
• Gel nails and gel nail extensions
• Standard manicures and pedicures
• Manicure-and-pedicure combination appointments
• Men's manicures
• Russian manicures
• Spa pedicures
• Nail art and nail polish services

Melissa's Nails is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and closed on Sundays. The weekday and Saturday hours offer flexibility for clients fitting appointments around work schedules. Full nail sets start at approximately $35, positioning the salon as a budget-conscious option in the Rochester market.

Melissa's Nails is known as a long-standing, single-location nail salon in an area where independently owned beauty shops are common along the Norton Street corridor. The salon's service list goes beyond standard manicures and pedicures to include Russian manicures and detailed nail art — options not always available at every neighborhood salon. Its consistent six-day-a-week schedule and over fifteen years at the same address reflect a stable presence in the community.

The salon sits on Norton Street in Rochester's northeast quadrant, part of the 14621 ZIP code sometimes referred to locally as "Group 14621." Norton Street runs through a primarily residential stretch with small commercial storefronts, crossing major corridors like Joseph Avenue, Hudson Avenue, and North Clinton Avenue. Pulaski Park is nearby, and the historic St. Stanislaus Kostka Church on Hudson Avenue is a recognizable neighborhood landmark just a short distance away. Street parking is generally available along Norton Street. The area is served by the city's Northeast Neighborhood Service Center and sits within a few minutes' drive of Seneca Park to the north.
