I have been here a few times for pedicures... they do an ok job... I'm on my feet a lot, so I pay extra for callus removal.. I have never been truly happy with their thoroughness. My nail shape & color look great. I do find it a turn off that when you indicate you want a pedicure, you are given a menu of several packages, but no mention on said menu of the basic pedicure and its cost. read more

New owners I walked in three months ago, they gave me a girl who hardly knew what she was doing, no experience whatsoever. I let her work only on my Pedicure, for Manicure I requested a new girl will never go back there. It used to be excellent. read more

newly renovated and reopened as Four Seasons nail salon. I'm so happy that it got a much needed facelift. the pedicure chairs are brand new and so are the nail stations. The walls got a much needed paint job with light neutral colors, so it's much brighter and feels cleaner than it used to be. I'm happy to announce Ada is still with us! She did my SNS extension today and it's absolute perfection! I've never had it done so well before! It's the exact shape I was looking for and they're not bulky or lumpy and feel sturdy. I do hope that in the future they get a larger gel color selection though; I love my neon colors so I would like to have more options of those. Looking forward to my next appointment to try UV gel extensions! read more

I'm hooked for LIFE, I can't go anywhere else!! I have been coming to this nail salon for YEARS!! It's been under a few different managements but the customer service has always stayed AMAZING. Everyone that works there is super pleasant. They treat everybody like family. This place is kept very clean, comfortable and they always have some relaxing music playing to enhance your experience. Everyone there is really great at everything. My personal favorite is FANNY!!! I can never get my nails done by anyone else. Her work of expertise is indescribable. I get the SNS (Powder Gel) manicure and then the gel pedicure. I kid you not, but my manicure lasts for a "minimum" 2 weeks, every single time. WITH NO CHIPS!!! Ladies, you know what I'm talking about and how frustrating it can be. When you get your nails done and 2 days in, you are surprised with a crack or a chip. Well.... try out Fanny!! My gel pedicure lasts for a month and looks amazing with no chips as well, for the whole 30 days!! I'm not kidding. The wait time can be rather long sometimes, especially on their most busy days and times. I would highly recommend you book an appointment!! I always do. Especially if you are pressed for time. It doesn't have to be a week in advance. You can also call and make same-day appointments. Either way, it's always safer. With that being said, I absolutely love this place. My sister and I are going to be loyal customers for as long as Diva Nails is in business. read more

My second review for this lovely spot. Totally in love with my nail tech and her work, ask for Fanny and she won't let you down. Sns Queen . With the pandemic still among us the salon installed separation clear curtains between the pedicure chairs and plexiglass between nail nechs and customers. If you need a appointment without wait, it's better call ahead read more

Terrible job. Nail shape was horrible had to fix it when I got home, polish on my skin and cuticles, and color is blotchy. Will not return.

I have been coming here for the last 6 years to get my nails done and have a pedicure. David is the best and always takes his time with me to make sure my nails look good and last a long time! Everyone that works there is very nice and welcoming and I always get an appointment at a time that I request. They don't take too long or make you wait a long time either and they have a lot of colors to choose from. read more

I've been coming here for my mani-pedi and wax since 2012. The salon is always clean and tranquil. The staff has changed a bit over the years, but they keep the super stars around. David and Ada are my current favorite rock stars. The prices are reasonable, and the product is always glamorous. I've had a few snags, that either I've messed up a nail or they missed a step, but they are always willing to correct any errors. They are closed on Mondays. They also tend to be busy, so I suggest making an appointment. read more

If I truly put in WORDS how I feel about there service, treatment and overall conditions at this moment it would be sure to bring on controversy undesired by me. So I just will say this enter at your own risk!!! Not worth another dollar or time! Why even risk getting fungus and being overcharged anyhow you'll have a good one. read more

This place fell off. It's dirty and grimy. The partitions look like they haven't been clean for years. Filthy. It's supposed to protect u from Covid but it looks germ infested. I just like Jessica. I had an unfriendly worker. They charged too much for gel removal. A guy told me a different price on phone.. Not worth it. read more

I just stopped in here a couple hours ago for an SNS manicure. They were able to accommodate me without any wait. The tech did a wonderful job and was sweet. She also took her time but not a year and a day ugh...sometimes they take eternity, and a flawless job!Their color selection is amazing also. Found my new spot. I'll be back in a couple weeks :) read more

Love this place. It's walkable from my house and they do a good and quick job with my mani pedis. I would say the quality is 4/5 which is why I didn't give 5 stars, but because of convenience I really wouldn't go anywhere else. Would recommend. Also I like that they respect appointments which a lot of other places do not. read more

To be honest, this is my go to spot for gel manicures done by Jessica only. Pedicures just aren't worth the now $17 charge. Until I find a better spot which is sanitary (new utensils with each customer), has free wifi (both pluses at this spot) AND has great free parking + does a mean mani/pedi I'll continue to come here for my gel manis only. Oh well...can't win em all. read more

I use to come here all the time when they had people who knew what they were doing. I always went to David but now David isn't working there either. They rush when they're working on you and the work isn't as great as you'd want it to be. I would look elsewhere. read more

I used to go here quite frequently, my mom as well. They screwed my mom over once, making her wait two hours even though her appt was set up a week in advance. Needless to say, she gave up on them. Today, I joined her in that. My appt was at 1:30. My guy finished with his last client late, fine. I sat down and he got up to cutting my cuticles, before the previous client came to him with a "top coat" issue. He redid her entire manicure. Without so much as a word to me. Just got up and dipped for nearly half an hour. Mind you I had a very tight schedule to keep and was already stressed out. Now half an hour late, I no longer had time for a pedicure. He then did an average job on my mani, told me to pay later. Then rushed me to pay before my nails dried, leaving damn near every nail messed up. I all but ran out of there. Nails still messed up. Paid $13 plus tip for a load of crap, an awful manicure and a ruined day/weekend. And I now need to go get my nails fixed elsewhere. Not a single apology was given. read more

118 Diva Nails & Spa - Just one example - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

This place is top notch. There are a handful of nail salons in the surrounding area that I've tried but 118 is by far, the best. They take appointments but I decided to show up as they opened for some fills and a pedi. I had my nails done while I was getting my feet done. My pink and whites weren't done too well at the previous salon but David fixed them. They take their time to make sure that their services are done well and not just doing it quickly to get another person in your seat. Prices are great and the employees are nice. Will definitely be making this nail salon my go to. Ps. Pay the $10 for the foot massage. You won't regret it. read more

I called a little before 630 and asked if I would be able to come in and get a gel manicure since they close at 730 and they said it would be fine. I already had on gel nails which needed to be removed. The woman who did my nails removed them so harshly, I have cuts all around my nails. She was also doing the woman's nail next to me previously, and I heard her yelling ow a few times. She did not ask how i wanted my nails shaped.She did a horrible job painting my nails. None of my nails are fully painted and some nails look more opaque than others. It looks like I've had these nails on for at least weeks. Definitely will never be going back there read more

I wrote a "tip" on this salon, and I didn't realize until now that it was a tip...cause I wanted to update my review. In that case, I'll review now: I've been back religiously. The salon has been there for years - who knows how many - and the place is CLEAN. If you walk into a nail salon and there's goops of glue strung all over the counters, spilled polish stains, and piles acrylic stuck on the tables, then you're in the wrong place. Their marble table tops are spotless, and the chairs are comfortable and new. Nothing in the salon is broken, and if it is they either fix it or replace it diligently. My most favorite thing about them though, is that they actually use STERILE tools from a brand new pack that gets peeled open in front of you. As far as the employees and their competencies: Sue is the manager (if not owner) and is truly an artist, so I'm almost always disappointed if I don't book an appointment with her. But if I'm in a hurry, I still get a great product from anyone else. I'm sure there will be manicurists that not everyone prefers, and there *is* someone that I usually like to stay away from, but I speak up & ask to have a certain person do it. If I'm going to be particular, I know I'm most likely going to have to wait so I plan for it. My second favorite to the sterile cleanliness is the fact that they have a POINT SYSTEM. Ask them for a VIP Membership Card, and earn points for every pre-tax dollar that you spend. Redeem them for free services - I'm close to getting a free facial!! read more

This is my last time here, honestly they use to be really good but the last 3 times I came they didn't do a good job I pay for the services and always tip today I finally spoke up and said something about the power gel being bumpy and streaks within the color and the gentleman decides to say it's my nails... keep in mind I had powder gel on prior to this and they were fine .... didn't think after all that buffing he did my natural nails would still be bumpy don't waste your time or money here... read more

The person who did my toes painted over my skin for multiple toes and didn't bother to fix it I ended up fixing them when I got home. They were painted fine but not as well as you would expect from a nail salon. It all seemed very rushed. When a different person was assigned to do my French manicure the mediocrity continued. My nails were sharp at the edges and the white strip was uneven thicker on one end than the other, very lopsided for 4/10 nails. Their nail polish was very gloopy and she was getting visibly frustrated but continued with the same polish anyway and that's probably why they turned out the way they did. This was the first time I got my nails done since the pandemic started and I was very disappointed. read more

So Sunday rainy afternoon, I took a chance for the mere fact I didn't want to walk in the rain to go another nail salon. They took immediately. And I know why, hardly people came in . As The technician started my pedicure, I began my review . I don't like to stare and complain at people . That seems more than a comfortably situation. However do people think just because you're not starting at them that they outta just whatever kind of job . I swear I will never return here. Do they have a rating lower than one . I genuinely scared for my health. I didn't see them take any of the utilities from the sterilization tool ( oven thing) . My pedicure was was literally ten minutes and I was more than frustrated. It was joy relaxing at all. She literally did the job to get the me outta the door. The service felt like such robbery. These people genuinely feel like you are annoying them. Out of pure frustration , I made comment of ten minutes. The technician decided she would actually do manicure ( wow ) that was shocking. She pushed and cut off the cuticles on the right hand . When she got to the left after the middle finger she didn't do it. She asked for payment ($24-25) and brought me back $5 bill as I am obligated to give her $5. They $5 won't make or break me but their customer service is just plain awful. They forget a tip in not mandatory . Regardless I was $3 dollars just to get done with it. I warn you don't bother with this places : read more

Really wanted to give this place at least 3 stars, but I honestly left feeling rather dirty. In COVID times, I really feel like cleanliness more than ever has to be a top priority, and I felt like this was not on the radar at all. No hand sanitizing occurred even once, and the UV slot looked and also felt dirty. At least twice during my gel manicure, I had to actually remove my hands from the light box because my fingers felt overheated, to the point where they felt like they were on fire. Other nail salons have very strict disinfecting protocols, and I watched my manicurist clean the cuticle cutters with the same hand towel she used on my hands. That being said, I thought the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I just wish it was much, much cleaner. read more

Updating this review...So I continued to come to this place because well, it's cheap. But you get what you pay for! The first week of August I got a manicure and a pedicure. The woman who did my feet was lovely, very nice. The guy who did my nails seemed agitated and in a hurry, not friendly, didn't listen to me about the length and cut all my nails off! That's not even the worst part. Over the course of a week my feet were peeling, I've never experienced it before and it seemed to be nonstop. By week two both of my feet had severe dry skin, it was so bad my feet were literally flaking off. About month later my feet were in the worst condition they've ever been in in my entire life (mind you, I'm an athlete). I finally went to a dermatologist and she told me that I had a foot fungus. Most likely from a nail salon! I'm writing this review on November 29th, I got a pedicure the first week of August (2023) and I'm still treating the fungus! That's how bad it is! I haven't been able to get another pedicure or anything because of the condition of my feet. The pictures are just too disgusting to post. If you do decide to come here, it's at your on risk! Next time I'll pay top dollar for quality service elsewhere! read more

My friend and I got the "Milk and Honey" spa pedicure. Staff wore self-protective equipment and didn't make a fuss. The leg massage was so satisfying we couldn't even speak during it. David and Yukon transformed our feet-- I brought in the most ashy, overgrown, beat up pair of feet there could be, and left feeling pretty. Very happy with the results and will be back again! read more

I have went to this place on several occasions giving it a chance, I am an African American and I felt I wasn't treated as well as other customers. I paid almost 90 dollars for a pedicure and full set. I vow to never go to this place again. read more

Made an appointment for me and my sister for a mani and pedi only to be told that they couldn't do our pedicures because they close in an hour. I thought the purpose of appointments were to ensure that a task was going to be completed at a scheduled time that both parties agreed to. No reason to have us travel all the way over there to tell us they couldn't take care of us. No one greeted us upon entering. Not a smile or a kind word. The environment was unclean and disorganized. I will not come here again nor do I recommend this salon. Spend your money where it's worth it and you feel like the queen you are. read more

They reuse the same tools for multiple customers which is a big issue when it comes to health and hygiene - could cause infections and worse. If you do end up coming here make sure it's not at night, they will mess up your nails with no shame to make it out on time. Results are not satisfying or good either. Also, they will make you change your mind on what you want if they don't have the needed product or motivation to do it. read more

Been debating this review for a while. 1. They can't get their prices correct 2. Nails ALWAYS have issues whether I'm doing powder/gel/ regular. I had a gel manicure and it was peeling after 4 days...Jessica didn't seem to care when I went back and told her 3. They have been consistency rushing every time I go. I've been coming here for about 4 years now. I went on my honeymoon 2 weeks ago...got a new set THE DAY BEFORE and they were already lifting day 2 of my honeymoon. Came back home and decided to have everything off my hands. Just wanted to give my nails and break. They charged me $12 to soak it off....when I asked Jessica why she replied with "next time we won't charge you". The quality of this place has significantly gone down. The only person I will ever go to if needed to is Ada, she is the only person that takes her time and does a great job. read more

Soooooo 1 year ago I was recommended this nail salon I went and I had a great experience. After my third time there they messed up my nail and refuse to fix it or compensate for money back. I only do sns and this type of nail prodecure usually last for 3 weeks. After the 1st week of doing my nails the color started to chip and lift in the edges. I refused to go back there . Recently I moved into the area close to the store and decided to try them again one more time and again I was disappointed with the service and how my nails came out I expressed my unhappiness and again they refused to fix my nails. This will be the last time that I will ever make this mistake of going back there again. Save yourself the trouble and just google another nail salon with better recent reviews. read more

This is by far the best place to get your nails done in Kew Gardens! Besides the price being right ($25 for a mani/pedi/$19 for a mani/pedi Mon-Wed), the salon is very neat and clean. They even use sterilized tools on everyone without an extra charge (they open the pouch right in front of you)...something I never see. The staff is friendly, prompt, and does a great job. I usually try to ask for Lina if she is in...she's so sweet! All my manicures from anywhere else in Queens and even Manhattan chip within a day, but when I get my nails done here, I don't see a chip for almost a week! I'm not sure what they are doing (I never get gel or shellac) but it's definitely working. And if you have a chip too soon, pop back in and they will fix it for you, no questions asked. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend! read more

Honestly, this place is an overpriced rush job. Looks can be deceiving, so even though this place is a gorgeous establishment if you want quality you're better off going to Jamaica avenue or something. Nearly fifty for a *basic* manicure and pedicure. read more

Do not go here. The employee first attempted to charge me $20 more than what their pricing menu states. My nails were very uneven and I asked him to fix them before he painted my nails. He told me he would do them after he painted. I asked again for him to even them out and he didn't. He made me pay before my service was complete, but no one else in the salon was asked to pay before the service was complete. He then asked me if I was tipping him??? First he didn't do anything I asked, and it was a simple color over acrylics. And then he treats me as if I am going to walk out without paying. And then asks me for a tip!?! No. You earn those. NOT happy. Will NOT be returning. read more

THE EXPERIENCE: They are frauds. Watch out for your credit card charges. The lady tried to cheat me by charging me $74.25 instead of my actual charge of $47.25. Her plan was to overcharge me "by accident" so I had cash to give her a tip with. Before she charged me, she told me the machine to charge credit and debit purchases was broken this morning and said I should take out money from the ATM. I told her, we can try charging, and if it didnt work, I would take out cash. We tried and the transaction was successful. But she then charged me $27 (total of $74.25) more by "accident" instead of the $47.25. She tried to give me cash back, but I requested it by card. I went to my bank to report fraud. The fact that she wanted me to get cash from the get-go and the fact that she charged me incorrectly "by accident" made me believe she was purposefully trying to cheat me. The fact that their machine didnt work was something you tell people before the service begins. You dont do the entire service and tell people you only accept payments one day. This was no an accident. So be cautious of your credit purchases because I had to report them as financial frauds and they will try to steal your money. MY NAILS: I got SNS with powder tips. My fingers were in pain from her filing the skin on my fingers as opposed to actually filing the nail. There should be no pain when getting SNS powder tips done. The women couldn't follow directions and gave attitude when given critique and she would throw my hands when she was done with it. They make up prices that are false even thought the poster says the correct price. And they DONT SPEAK ENGLISH!! they cannot explain to you anything in English. I get my nails done here every two weeks, but I will never be coming back here. They are rude, hostile and frauds. Small family owned nail shops generally have poor service, so I will be taking my money to white or black nail technicians who understand the value of a customer. read more

Ladies and gents out there in Yelpland, I think I've found my new nail salon. After a really bad experience with my former nail salon a couple months ago, I was traumatized. I did a lot of research, trying to find the next nail salon that would give me a less stressful experience (and that I wouldn't mind giving my hard earned cash to). This morning, I came across the reviews for this place. So, off I went. Immediately as I went inside, I was greeted by someone, and the atmosphere is nice and quiet, which I loved and so desperately needed. I did a gel mani and regular pedi which totaled to $40, and their gel manis are cheaper than most places. Score! Everyone there is friendly and EVERYTHING IS STERILIZED, which is a super plus for me! To be honest, you don't even feel like you're on Metropolitan Ave. You feel like you're in another world. The girl that I had took her time, didn't rush me out the door, and she gave me the most AWESOME massage as my hands were under the UV light. Not to mention, she gave my feet a really good scrub. If you can scrub my feet well AND give an awesome massage, there will always be a special place in my heart for you. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. They have gained a new customer, and I'll be back in 2 weeks. read more
