Walked in one day to fix a broken nail. Liked what they did so I came back in for a manicure. I've never been treated so rudely. The lady was screaming at me. She asked me the same question five times yelling at me because she didn't like my answer. I don't know how I made it through the whole thing. I wanted to ask what was wrong what I did to upset her or to deserve such a hostile attitude but I was truly scared she would cut me like on purpose. Maybe she was having a bad day but they just lost a good customer. Her violent manicure was pretty shitty too. I guess it's true you get what you pay for. Oddly all the other technicians were kindly smiling at me. Bizarro world. read more

Ring finger is in pain and oozing pus after my appointment last night:/ the tech who did my manicure was very kind but cut me in several places and was using tools with other peoples nail dust all over them to file and trim my open cuts that she gave me. Also she cured my nails with gel all over the skin she kept putting her long nails under my finger nails to get the gel off and it was so uncomfortable and unsanitary. I have been to hundreds of nail salons and have never been somewhere so unhygienic. I'm sorry to leave a negative review but I wish I saw something like this before going in. read more

I love this place. I've been going there for 10+ years,. The name has changed a couple of times but the staff remained the same. It had been a while since I last visited, and much to my delight, Kelly and the rest of the staff greeted me by name. This salon is kept very clean and the products they use are of high quality. I recommend this salon for manicures, pedicures, and massage. read more

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. read more

I gave this mail salon sooo many chances to do better but today was the last straw. Have to speak on my first experience here, it was ok enough to go back, then when I went to get a fill I went through 3 nail techs before a girl named Mia did them. Although the base was amazing, the actual artwork was lacking. She tried to say it was because my nails were too short compared to the Pic I showed but I know it was just them lacking. I used to go to a nail salon in brooklyn where they could do ANY design no matter what, whether my nails were long or short and never made excuses. She ended up confusing the colors and design and was missing a color but I didn't wanna sit through more hours of it. I was already stressed from personal matters so I cried because I was just disappointed in the work. Then TODAY , was the last straw. I forget the technicians name but she had no patience with me. She was filing my nails with the machine so harshly and every time if flinch from pain she would get angry or hit my hand to move it a certain way! At one point I had to say out loud, are you mad at me or yourself???? I notice this place files and buffs nails entirely too much instead of caring for the natural nail! That is important to me. My nails were already weak, why continue up file them? I also got a pedicure which I will say was amazing by June. Very sweet lady and did an excellent job! Too bad I won't be returning to this salon. Some people there are very nice but I haven't had luck with others with customer service. I also do not like when I feel obligated to tip. I gave 10$ figure out how you're gonna split that but don't say oh what about the other person. That other person did NOT deserve a tip and that's all the money I had to give out. read more

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 read more

Getting a pedi? They charge $5 if they use the nail clipper LOL. And they don't tell you this until it's time to pay, knowing good and well that they could just file in my case (or any). I wonder if they know it's more work to file than it is to use the nail clipper. Make it make sense please. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

128 Modern Nail Studio - SNS dip manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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 !!! read more

I think I've found my go-to nail spot!

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 read more

128 Modern Nail Studio - Gel nails by Stacy - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

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! read more

I absolutely hate leaving a bad review but when you deserve one you get one. I've been coming here for years and it used to be fantastic. In the past 12 months it has gone completely down hill. The women who work here are rude and rush every job (apart from Bonnie who is talented and lovely). This is the second time in the past 3 months they have cut me when getting a manicure. I'm not sure what is going on but they are either just don't care anymore or they are exhausted. Either way it's what happens next that matters. At the end they kept rushing my service, charged me in full, and verbally demanded I tip them multiple times to make sure i knew it was expected regardless of their quality of service. I feel sorry for the few women who work there who take pride in their work and actually try to provide their clients a good experience. I am never going again after today's experience. read more

Dont waste your time or money here. Every time I look at my nails & toenails I get upset all over again. I stopped in this shop to get a gel pedicure & dip powder manicure with French design in preparation for a wedding I was traveling overseas to the next day. I just wanted a repeat of what was already on my nails (white toes + French manicure). They should have noted that they have limited capabilities before starting the job. Seems they are best just doing basic manicures for me. 1. My nails are very, very thick and the shape is terrible with no curve. I had almond/mountain peak shaped nails when I walked in. I walked out with what looks like thick blobs. 2. They don't know how to do nice French tips and have the nerve to charge 10 dollars extra for french!! I had to settle for a style I did not want and even that was poorly done...crooked lines of various sizes and I had to convince the tech to use the standard pink polish - she used pink powder & thought that was sufficient. 3. My toenails were super rushed and the sides neglected to get any paint. What's worse the gel polish has already chipped just 3 days later. 4. Forget any "perks" like lotion or hot towels on my hands. I shared my disappointment with the folks there and they apologized and gave 5 dollars off. However I'm still disappointed to be traveling and in a wedding with these terrible looking nails that cost 100 bucks. Never again. read more

I have searched and gone to so many nail places before finally finding the absolute best! Every time I come to this nail studio, my nails are done beautifully and last a very long time. Stacy does the best SNS powder gel ever and is always so sweet. This time I asked for a natural looking powder gel nail and she absolutely nailed it. Not only do they do a great job and are nice, the prices are affordable - it's best if you bring cash to pay! Oh and my pedicure has lasted a month now with no chips at all! Go here, it's a must. So happy I found my go to nail salon. read more

hey guys ive been to all the pedicure places around the Les and this place just didnt feel right they are all similar in price but I went here on a monday morning no one was there and i still felt she rushed my pedicure the callus removal extra service was 15$ but after 3 days my feet were dry and crusty again .... i just felt rushed on a day it was super slow , i wonder what happens on saturdays ? read more

Neat place, cash is 10% off. Customer service is not customer comes first because of the language barrier. But they get the job done for a decent city price. If you want cheap don't get service from the city because you know it's a lot more obvious. FYI for those reviews that complain maybe you should ask all your questions first and clarify before proceeding to get a service. You wouldn't go to a barber mute and then complain why your hair cut is not what you wanted and is over priced right? read more

I never leave reviews but here i am. Was the work good? Yeah it's decent, there's always better. I think, like a lot of salons in ny, they're a bit behind with what's "new" in many other places. Hygiene: i did see my nail tech pull the cuticle clippers out of a fresh sanitary bag but after using it on me i saw her wash it in the pedicure water and wipe it off, and then place it back in her personal cup of tools. Idk if there was a purpose but that's just my observation. I was there for 3 hours which was a bit excessive for a gel manicure and pedicure. I added calus removal to my pedicure which is another 10 dollars, and my feet feel 5x more rough walking out than they did walking in and i don't understand why. I tried explaining it to the women and they didn't seem to understand or care to so i 100% DO NOT recommend adding that upgrade. And last but definitely not least, I'm EXTREMELY big on customer service. Smiles, asking how you are, etc. the staff is not welcoming at all, not only with me but many other clients that were in and out while i was there i would observe. The language barrier at this location is also very big. But back to customer service, at the end of my service i tipped both my manicurist and pedicurists 5 dollars as honestly i felt like for how my pedicure went that that was even generous. Neither one said thank you and honestly didn't look pleased at all. read more

Finally found my go-to salon for SNS dip! Stacy is fantastic - she listens to what you're looking for, helps you pick out the best color, and takes her time in doing a quality job. She's definitely a pro! The total cost is $40/cash and $45/card which is worth it! read more

My sister was forced to go to urgent care after experiencing burned fingertips and skin from attempting to receive a gel manicure from this horrible nail salon. It was a horrific experience. To make matters even WORSE. The nail "technician" was unapologetic. My sister explained to her many times that it was burning her skin. With an attitude, the nail technician stated this was the only she could attempt to remove the gel nail polish. DON'T GO TO THIS NEGLIGENT ESTABLISHMENT! AWFUL! read more

I've been here a few times now and it's my go-to nail place. Kelly seems to be the best technician I've had. The place is clean, affordable ($20 pedicure and $10 manicure) and efficient. They have a wide range of nail polishes including essie. 4 stars because I've notice my nails sometimes chip pretty quickly (this happened specifically when it wasn't Kelly who did them). They take credit cards, which is a plus. read more

Save your money and run! There are other nail salons nearby with much better service. My mom came to visit and wanted to get her nails done so I recommended this place because it was nearby. Her experience was awful, she walked away almost crying. They did not even bother clean or cut her cuticles. Not even lotion. They were sleeping when we walked in. No wonder they had NO customers on the day before Christmas Eve. Wow. Just wow. I don't know how they are still in business unless they are earning money some other way. read more

I used to use this salon fairly often. It's convenient location wise and the pricing was decent. It was also one of the only places that carried shellac for a while. Unfortunately, their customer service has always been pretty mediocre at best, if not subpar. But only towards certain clientele, if you catch my drift. I've observed them treat people differently and experienced it first hand. You're better off going to one of the other salons in the area. At least they treat all customers like they exist, which is probably why they tend to be more crowded. read more

It's Sunday and I'm practicing a little self care. Soo happy that my favorite neighborhood place is open. What's reassuring is that they're taking all the necessary precautions. The bottom of my shoes were sprayed before I walked in, my temperature was taken and before "picking a color" I was told to use hand sanitizer. The manicure stations have glass paneling and all the staff appear to be maintaining protocols around cleanliness. I feel...relieved and decided to share because I was a bit hesitant to come in. I'm glad that I did. It's good to get to come back and see things running smoothly. read more

I came in on a Saturday to do my nails. After checking out their package deals I decided to do a silk wrap since the pricing was good for manhattan. They also include really good package deals for gel nails as well. Upon arriving the store it was really spacious and clean. I was greeted immediately and there were tons of colors to choose from. The nail technician made sure to get the perfect shape I wanted. Most places I've been to can't get the coffin shape right but this place has it down. This is definitely going to be my new go to. It's such a nice place for a good price. All the workers are extremely nice and helpful too considering how indecisive I am. They make sure you leave satisfied with how your nails look. Definitely recommend this place!! read more
