I love giving a story before my reviews! LOL. On an outing with my dad had to take him to a doctor's appointment. I figured let me try to get my nails done. My usual spot closed momentarily due to a customer testing positive for the virus. Side note: everyone, please stay safe and wear your mask! I did a filling with four nail art. Lily did my nails. She took her time and was thorough. I love the area; it's in bay ridge. I love hanging out around here; it's a perfect mix of diversity, and you can find everything here. I have a great hack of spotting places and people out. It's very local and personable. You can tell just as in other sites the locals come here and there are relationships. What I love most about this location is that it has a lot of different gel color options and different nail art decals. On a good day, I wouldn't mind coming back here! read more

Very very clean job. I went to them on different days but I believe it was the same lady who did my gel spa pedicure and sns manicure. She was super patient and careful. The 6 in 1 spa pedicure was a deal and the sns manicure price was reasonable too. This is the best sns manicure service I've ever received, the lady did not rush through my manicure, she filed and made sure everything was perfect and neat. Love them! read more

Honestly this is by far the worse experience i've ever experienced. Staff is really rude and had me waiting for so long while trying to help other people instead of myself. One of the staff members proceeded to tell me that they didn't have any acrylic powders close to what i wanted and did not proceed to try and help me out to choose something else or give me other options. I proceeded to ask her about the acrylic powders that were on the wall to see if i would be able to choose from there and everyone ignored me. What was being shown was that I was not trying to be helped by staff , a customer who was also getting her nails done proceeded to tell staff what she noticed and even told me that their actions were very wrong and has been done to her in the past. Staff members were also speaking about me in their second language not knowing that I myself understood what they were saying. I don't recommend this place at all and would never go back because this was such a disappointing and disrespectful experience. read more

Catherine is AMAZING. She's very detailed oriented. She really take her time. I get acrylics with gel and regular pedicure and she never fail me !!!! Reasonable prices and they are cleaned !!! Benny the owner is nice I always get a reply whenever I text to make an appointment. I do not go to anyone else but Catherine !!! Other ladies who work there has done my nails before but Catherine is my fav !! I get my nails short and she shape it perfectly :-) read more

This place is so horrible and really horrible service I waited 5 hours just to have the most disgusting nails and when i specifically asked for no gel but they did it anyway and I reminded them I said no gel and yet They still didn't LISTEN!!!!! and they overcharged me and tried to play it off as a mistake?!?! read more

This place is a neighborhood nail salon. Owner, Benny, appears to be widely liked by whoever comes in. I've been here 4 times. 3 times I got gel mani and twice pedicure. Place gets packed usually, however when I went today (Saturday) it was pretty empty, almost no wait time. Salon has a lot of color options. Many regular Essie nail polishes, as well as, many options for gel. Unfortunately, no OPI gel (they do carry Perfect Match, Mood gel, and some other less known to me brand). However, they offer metallics, glitters and the "cracked" look. The way they do things is a bit different to what I'm used to. For gel mani they only soak off nails in acetone but they don't soak nails/cuticles in water. They also don't make you wash hands after they file them.... they don't use sterile tools, they spray cuticle cutters with something (alcohol, maybe?). I usually grow to love nail salon over time. All in all, I like my gel manicure. And if you're able to stand some pretty terrible "DJ-ing" where songs switch mid song and you like disco music, you should be fine here. read more

I mean if you want bubbly nail polish and paint on your skin and cuticles. It seemed clean however. Huge language barrier, and I speak 2 languages so I thought I'd be ok. It's $2 for flip flops read more

Piss poor service from Benny. As soon as I walked in he told me it would be a 3 hour wait, then when I at sat down he told me "come back later." I told him that waiting and coming back later are 2 very different things. The shop is small and claustrophobic anyway. So, I went down the street to Organic Nails instead. This was a great idea! Long story short: I left. He didn't even acknowledge me. I won't be back. Ever read more

Got my nails done by Benny and I'm so in love. I did gel and it came out to 35. Wonderful service. read more

Sigh... the people are nice but the manicure was so bad . I took it off the next day because I couldn't stand how it looked...

This is my second time going to this nail salon. And honestly its my new spot now , the place is clean and the workers are all super nice. This is my second time getting my nails done with Benny and let me just say that he is the best. He takes his time in doing your nails and is always making sure that you get what you ask for. He does get busy at times but the wait time is definitely worth it !! Overall I highly recommend this place as the workers are all super nice and the prices are reasonable . read more

I had a mani and pedi same color. I did gel for my hands and regular polish for my feet. But when I got home my hands changed to a different color? Not sure but maybe the gel didn't set entirely under the lamp. The salon and staff are nice. Took their time servicing me even during COVID, didn't rush me like other salons I went to. Otherwise it's nice. Disposable sink bags and sterilized tools for pedi. read more

My regular manicure came out nice. I'm not satisfied with my eyebrows. She said my eyebrows are different shapes, then when it was over, I've never seen my eyebrows so thin. I'll have to grow them out again. it's clean and well air conditioned in here. They aren't that friendly, and they don't have nail dryers, just portable desk fans. I'm happy with the way the manicure came out. They're not polite, and I had to move my bag off the chair so many times, but they have stools for your bag. They just aren't very accommodating to your needs and questions. read more

5th Ave Creative Nail - Benny YOU ARE #1 - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My Husband works in the area and told me about how busy this place always is when I told him I was looking for a new nail tech in bk. & they are busy for good reason!. got a filling with gel mood change less than $30 and I literally went over a month without having to get a another filling. No lifting ; No chipping ; they looked as if I jus got them done. This is the only place I will ever go to from now on! The nail tech took her time you can see the quality in her work. I highly recommend this place!!!! read more

I am loyal to this nail salon. My go to people are Catherine and Benny. Benny is so so busy so be considerate about his time and give him a heads up before arriving. If you walk in and request to see him, just know you will have to wait a long time but he's worth the wait.The gel polish selection is huge! They always have new colors and interesting designs. Follow their IG page to stay in the loop. No complaints for this salon from me. I'm always happy with my nails. Just a tip: if there's something you don't like or see something wrong with your nails, just speak up. They'll do their best to fix your nails. Also, be polite. I remember this one time, some lady was so loud talking on her cell phone, kept nagging and was so rude to one of the nail techs. It was unnecessary. The nail techs are awesome if you're polite and ask nicely for what you want. Don't be that rude dumb customer. Be considerate and appreciate their work! Benny, Lily and Catherine are great! Keep up the good work! read more

The most modern and appealing nail salon in the Sunset Park area. Benny is the go to guy for designs and full sets however everyone is fairly talented. This place gets packed in the late afternoon, so I recommend going early. This is more affordable compared to bay ridge nail salon prices but a cost a little more compared to all the other nail salons in Sunset. I've went around 7 times already and am highly pleased. Definitely recommend read more

My very first visit was in summer 2017 & it was the last time I got my nails done before 1/27/18. I had a good experience & I decided to return recently. Jan. 27, 2018 I came in for tips& li li took care of me. I showed her a picture (gel)of what I wanted except in regular polish. I was just really excited to get my nails done because I haven't in a while. So I wasn't paying too much attention to what she was doing. While she was painting my Nails I asked her if they have quick dry oil. She said yes but still need to dry a little bit. So I said that's fine. I guess she forgot to give me ??? I had to wait for my friend so I didn't mind just letting them dry on its own by the machines. So I didn't bother asking again. I get home I'm just looking at them and I see my nails up in a angle NOT flat. When I went it was crowded, don't know if she rushed on my nails so she can take more customers, but my nails wasn't cute. I paid $25 + $1 credit card fee + $5 tips. The more I looked at my nails. The more flaws I find. My left pinky was on such a angle. I wish I took pictures because it was THAT bad. My right ring finger was also on an angle( you can see it if you look really closely ) aside from having my nails on a angle. My nails were painted TERRIBLE. my second layer of polish's line was so off. FEB 12,2018 I came in for a fill ( with 3 broke off nail) Li li took care of me and she used a cuticle clipper to get rid of my lifting. ( this is very damaging to your nail beds & salons should never be doing this.) I didn't stop her because they do what they do best. As she used the clipper to clip my lifted acrylics off she ended up removing 2 easily ( I guess the nails just had to go ) so when she begins to glue a new tip on my bare nails I asked if she can do coffin shape ( I had oval ) she told me , want to take off and do coffin ? As I was thinking she tells me $25 + $5 coffin shape.( full set is $23 , fill is $16. From what I saw on the price board ) Don't know if she meant to charge me $5 for take off or $5 extra for the coffin shape. Because when I went 16 days prior to this my friend did coffin & she was charge $25+ $1credit card fee. So when she was taking off my acrylics left my on nails. She used a nail clippers to clip off and kinda ripping it off. The process didn't hurt but I've done my research & with past experiences that's not how you take off acrylics. I was a little frustrated coming in for just a fill & having to end up paying $36 in total including tip. not only having to pay for a new set , my tips weren't straight. They look like they're on a 45 degree angle. Like a ramp as my friend described. Anyways what really got me frustrated enough to write a review is the fact that I felt one of my nails not even ( I felt a small bump) I asked her to fix it. ( at this time she has finished filing down my left hand. And on my right. I felt the small bump on my left middle finger nail) she looked and was going to file ( but I guess she didn't see a big or bad bump ) she told me I fix it with the buffer. She buffed my nails but the bump was still there. You can definitely feel the difference between the middle finger nail & all the other nails. Now I'm just stuck with it and it bothers me so got damn much. So I asked for a very simple Design with gold tape. ( attached picture ) but she used glitter instead of what I asked for ???? & the glitter wasn't even. At this point I just gave up on asking for anymore. At last she painted the top coat & I asked for oil drops because I had to leave soon for work. So I get home & just look closely at my nails & I get more frustrated to find out my index, pinky and thumb nails all don't have same length. I'm not a picky nail person but it was just annoying how I gave the salon a 2nd try and I still find flaws in my nails. I mean if I can find the flaws shouldn't you be able to as a nail technician????? Overall experience: nice staffs but not so much on the nails. A lot of people come in for Benny but both times I came he wasn't available. They offer a good range of colors for nails! I experienced Uneven length , unclear pricing, not getting what you've asked for, doesn't cut it for me. Don't think I'll be returning. Very disappointed! read more

Best nail salon in sunset park. Benny is the best nail technician ever!!! Great service and princes .

I have to start by saying this is hands down the best nail salon ever. I just want to say when I walk into the salon I feel so welcomed the staff and Benny are my second family. This salon is usually busy but the wait is worth it to me. He is patient friendly, answers all the questions I have. Never rushing no matter how many people are there.and it's not just me he treats this way, he is like this with everyone. He has all the up to date styles, all the in things (lol). He is very reasonable with his prices. Also he is honest. He won't tell you something looks good just to make a few bucks. To just sum it up this place is #1. Come check it out for your self. Won't be disappointed read more

Wanted to like this place, but nope! The lady that did my nails did a horrible job. My nails aren't even straight. I walked in with straight square nails and walked out with unevenly filed slanted nails. Just lovely. And she cut my foot during pedicure. Never coming back. read more

5th Ave Creative Nail - Yup... and this is gel 4 days later - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Called this morning to get a quote on some nail art. Owner on phone said he could not give me a quote and that I would need to come in to show him. I was not understanding why he couldn't give me a ballpark number when I was being really specific on what I wanted. So anyways, wasted my entire lunch break to walk over and get a quote. Girl looks at picture, consults owner, says they can do it and it would be $25. I ask if I could make an appointment for later at 6pm, they told me there were no appointments but just to come back and wait. I go back later at 6pm with 1 girl in front of me waiting. I'm waiting, 10 minutes go by, 20 minutes go by, 30 and they start taking two other people who came in after me. Already I'm a little annoyed as I was not understanding the line system. After waiting 30 min, the owner comes over to me and tells me that none of the girls can do the design I want, only him and frankly he didn't have enough time to do it.. can you tell me why he made me wait 30 min to walk over and tell me that? I figured ok that's annoying because you told me you could earlier and now all of a sudden you can't. Since I'm already there I look for something else which OF COURSE they couldn't do either. This place is a massive waste of time. I'm so disappointed. If you can't do something be upfront the first time! Don't waste people's time coming back and forth and waiting! read more
