- There are nearly 1,300 nail salons in New York City no surprise, given that the first one in the United States was founded on West 23rd Street, a new book reveals. Mary Cobb, one of our first female entrepreneurs, opened her salon Mrs. Cobb’s Manicure Parlors in 1878, charging $1.25 for a manicure. Within a decade, her business was thriving, her clientele ranging from socialites to showgirls to prostitutes. She branded herself the originator of th...e manicure arts, says Suzanne E. Shapiro, author of the new history Nails: the Story of the Modern Manicure (Prestel). She focused on the gentility of elegant hands, and hers was not unlike a simple manicure of today.

Today, intricate nail art crosses all demographics, with Nails magazine reporting it the most in-demand manicure from 2012-13. Shapiro has a couple of theories as to why. The economic downturn created this climate where you have to give up some of the greater luxuries, but you could still have hot-looking nails, she says. And Internet culture ushered in this visual obsession with everyone’s style. Nail art is not just going to last the two weeks you have it because it lives online forever. As for why New York women have been devotees of the manicure for more than 130 years, Shapiro says that the city itself is responsible. Life here is so public, she says. We don’t necessarily show people our homes or our cars, but so much of how we express ourselves is through physical presen
