    Messy paint
    Karena M.

    I've been to this nail salon a few times. It's definitely a so-so place to get your nails done. I generally bring my own nail polish. This salon charges different prices for name brand polish. The quality is poor because they constantly add acetone to the polish when its drying. So i just bring my own. The prices are really reasonable. It's generally quick service but it can get filled fast. There has been times when the wait was 20+mins and i ended up not waiting. This isn't a place that's really good with designs. Your better off with a solid color or french mani. I recently visited since the pandemic began. I just wanted to get a pedicure. No one was in there. It was only two ladies sitting by the pedicure seats. As soon as i walked in, one of them immediately jumped up to service me. I used the bathroom as soon as i came in. It was really clean and also services as their storage. My pedicure was pretty quick. She did a pretty good job of making it comfortable. She trimmed, filed them, took care if the cuticles, etc. However, the execution wasn't the best. When painting my nails she was a little sloppy. She also didnt lotion my feet afterwards so my toe had nail polish and dryness on it right after a pedicure. It looked sloppy. As i mentioned, I've been here a few times and its almost always like this. I paid $23 for the pedi so it's not so bad i guess.

    Wendy did an amazing job with my nails!! She spent so long making sure they were perfect. Salon was new and clean.

    Updated pricing on feet services

    This business recently underwent a revamping of sorts, along with another name change. Now it's called Hello Nails. Used to be a regular and decided to try them out under the alleged new management and boy do I regret doing so. The up charging wasn't the issue since that part was expected. What I did not expect was passive aggressive staff that rudely and openly bath mouthed our party in their native tongue while we innocently sat thru it all. At one point I had to pull out google translate and got the shock of my life with the translations. I had to request lotion repeatedly as one of the women was apparently rushing to have us out. When I asked to change colors as mine was ultimately too light she responded at length in a patronizing way and spoke to me like a child. Next to me, a lady kept complaining her nails were filed down incorrectly despite her multiple prompts to continue filing them down. She decided to take matters into her own hands and file them herself, can't make this stuff up folks, they want the volume but then don't match the customer service with the demand Not returning, it's a hard pass for me

    S&S color powder for my tips. I love it!
    Taj B.

    This is by far the best nail salon I've ever been to. The employees are super nice and answered all of my questions. The place is very, very clean. I was recommended the S&S color powder and I loveeeee it. It's so pretty and fast drying. It is better than the traditional acrylic tips. STACY did my nails. She did a WONDERFUL job. My nails are just the way I wanted them. She is also super sweet and had awesome customer service. I will be back again to do my nails!! Thank you so much!

    Severe skin trauma from manicure

    Don't go here!! My sister went here and was forced to leave her hands in an extremely strong acetone until her fingers were burnt and shriveled as you seen in this photo. They demanded she pay for removing the polish and did not acknowledge the pain she was in while she was telling them how badly it was burning and that she was bleeding. She went to the ER to be treated. Do not risk going here!!

    SNS dip manicure
    Laurel E.

    I'm so happy that I've finally found a great place to get my nails done in New York! I couldn't be happier with my SNS dip manicure; the quality is amazing and the price is great for the city. Stacy is the BEST and extremely talented. She works quickly but carefully and I was in & out in under an hour. Definitely recommend coming here, 5 stars all the way!

    The sign that says "package no. 1 gel color manicure & pedicure $55". So misleading
    Alison F.

    I walked in today and responded to the #1 special that says $55 for color gel manicure & pedicure - when I asked for it they flipped out and said it says regular pedicure- I tried to explain why I was confused and they just kept insisting I was mistaken- then I asked how much did a gel pedicure as well- they said $75 which I agree was fine.. however at this point all of the women who worked here seemed to think I was impossible- so when I asked how long (even though. It was empty and more workers were there than customers- they said "15 minutes" I was aware since they say random times and one time I waited for almost two hours - I just left. They clearly hate me here. Treat me so badly. Attached is the sign that posted that made me confused.

    I yelped this place and it had some good reviews, most users said to avoid Kelly though. Well, I walk in and who do I get- Kelly. I didn't know how to ask for someone else, since I already mentioned to the lady it was my first time here. They all seemed nice though and friendly. I asked for a gel mani and regular pedicure, and removal of an old gel mani. She said this was $55, $50 if I pay cash. I wish this was in the window so I could of got cash beforehand! Kelly literally did a gel mani and pedi in 31 minutes. Now for some people, that's good- for me, no. I've never felt so rushed, anxious, nervous, and the furtherest from feeling at ease and calm. Not relaxing Whatsoever!! While Kelly was "going through the motions" of what a pedicure should be like, at a speed of 100mph, the lady who greeted me PEELED OFF MY old gel mani, instead of letting them soak in foil. My natural nails were all peeled! She worked extremely fast with everything, she even spilt the water on the table because she was rushing so much. And cut my cuticle which bled. The girl next to me had Stacey and her nails looked PERFECT and seemed calm and relaxing. So maybe it was just my lady. My nails don't look and feel new. I wasn't able to look at my nails and feel like the bad ass bitch I am !!!

    I think I've found my go-to nail spot! I was really hesitant to do powder SNS again because the last place I went to made it too thick and heavy but the nail tech here, Stacy, convinced me to try it again. The results are BOMB and I'm so in love with it. The powder is smooth and feels super light- plus the service here was amazing!! Highly recommend- tip: bring cash for 10% off! Save that mulaaaa ladies

    Gel nails by Stacy

    This place caught my eye as I was in the neighborhood and looking to get my nails done. The salon is clean and prices are super reasonable. It's a bit quiet, so if you prefer to be left alone the technicians will respect that. Stacy was very patient with my nails and made sure I was happy with them. I love how the gel turned out - natural and clean! We also had a nice chat and this is definitely my new go-to nail spot and nail technician

    This is what I received, you can see several of the cuts in this photo as well

    I came to this nail studio yesterday afternoon because the was the highest rated in my area. They took in me and my friend without an appointment which was nice! My friend got a pedicure and had a great experience. I got a manicure and was wanting to receive a sip powder set with tips on an extension. There is a certain design I requested as well, I have included the reference photo. The last working on my nails told me the girl that adds on tips was not working. This is the first time I have gone to a salon where they didn't know how to add the Tips on. I told her I will just do a solid nail design then with glitter on top, she said they can't do glitter so I decided to do an accent finger. After doing one layer of dip she forgot the accent finger and dipped it in the red. She was unable to get al of it off so the color on my two hands does not match at all. She had been cutting pretty close to my cuticles and filing down the skin around my nails. I didn't realize until I left that several of my fingers were bleeding, I ended putting bandaids on two fingers. I am typically pretty flexible if a salon can't do an intricate design but I felt like what I had asked for was a pretty standard practice and design.

    Just came in today to do my nails for my sister's wedding tomorrow, I'm going to be a bridesmaid! The service here was amazing! Kelly was my nail technician and she recommended I get this color since my sister's wedding bouquets are purple and this color will really stand out and she was right! Took this pic when I got home with faux flowers I had at home to see how they look like in pictures. I got the color gel which was $35, which is a great price since they last at least 3 weeks. I've been coming here for a few months now and I've had a great experience every time, definitely recommend!

    SNS powder gel done by Stacy - perfection!

    Always excellent ~ great options, wonderful care, perfect vibes. A mini-vacation every time I'm…read morethere.

    The cleanliness and vibe of the salon was amazing, the women working there were super sweet, and…read morethe color selection was very diverse... but that is where is all the good comments I have end. I wanted to love it given the many reviews and stars, however I was extremely disappointed. I was a walk in and requested a manicure with nail extensions and a cateye gel design, and experienced all the issues below 1. When the gel x nails were applied, too much glue was added on 4/5 nails on my right hand which caused my skin to burn when putting it under the light. I asked 2x to file away the excess glue as having it touching your skin and encapsulating your natural nail is unsafe, and it was not properly addressed. She started with attempting to dig it out/separate the glue from my skin using nail clippers which hurt and pierced it. And when I asked the second time, she simply filed it with a regular file so it was flat filled surface underneath my nail. 2. My nail extension was filed crooked. When I asked for it to get fixed, they attempted to but ultimately caused the nail to appear weird. 3. They were unable to create any of the designs I asked for. Nor was anything really explained in terms of what could be done. (The person next to me was given a few options and asked for her preference). 4. After I left, I noticed the top coat had a bubble on one of the fingers. I am usually not really the type to be super bothered on small details like design, shape, and issues with the top coat as I understand some things can be missed. However, I chose to get my nails done (rather than doing them myself) for the safety of a professional and correct application. I can overlook all the issues except that. Overall, I would not be returning nor do I feel comfortable for them to fix it. I am just disappointed and needed to share for those who may have similar concerns or thoughts. 2 stars are for the vibe, cleanliness, kindness, and good cuticle work.
