I visited Barry queens location yesterday 5/12, not my first time but I only go there when I can't make it to Brooklyn. I had my mind set on white gel polish which right if the back I was told they don't have white and didn't offer any other solution. I stayed instead of leaving at least to get my refill I would have done a clear coat. I decide to try gel nude/tan color. Today is only 5/13 and my polish which is gel is already coming off and this is not the first time this happened while going to that location, but I do assure you it will be my last. I respect the business being black owned and have been a loyal customer to Barry's original location years back. But I refuse to spend my money and the service is not executed properly. read more

All of the reviews are true. Save yourself the annoyance and book an appointment elsewhere. Nail techs are extremely unprofessional. I booked an appt, arrived 15 mins early and NO ONE was there to let me in. One of the nails techs showed up late and strolled in as if she couldn't be bothered. A young lady had been waiting for someone to arrive as well. When the nail tech came the young lady asked for a pedicure and the nail tech swiftly said "no pedicure today" with an attitude as she strolled up the stairs. She didn't even so much as give the customer eye contact. (SIDE NOTE: this specific day was a 95 degree day, the salon was overwhelmingly hot and the nail tech did not put the AC on until I asked if there was AC). Then my nail tech strolled in even later, moving slowly as if she's just enjoying a nice cool breeze in the park. She looked at me and proceeded to go to the back for another 10 minutes then came to sit down with an attitude, as if my mere presence annoyed her. She did not apologize for making me wait and didn't even so much as say hello! Next, they are a nail salon but do not have nail polish and BARELY any gel colors. Yup, you heard correctly. I asked for white gel and was told they don't have that, the most basic color. So I chose a pretty turquoise gel and was told "that doesn't work". Umm what? So why is it on the shelf? Then I was given a lame explanation about how the owner prefers people to use acrylic color powder if they want color instead of using polish. Oh I'm sorry, I thought I was paying THE SALON, not the other way around, but ok. Next the nail tech automatically started gluing coffin tips on my nails without asking although I wanted square. She had a attitude when I told her that's not what I wanted, although I explained exactly what I wanted before she began. I also asked for a design which is advertised all over their website/ IG but the nail tech claimed she couldn't do it. So at this point I'm annoyed and would've walked out if I hadn't already paid a deposit. In sum, this place is ghetto, unprofessional and way overpriced given the pathetic service that's being offered. I should've listened to all the reviews. 5 out of 10 nails are noticeably crooked and overall I do not like the way they came out. I will never come back and I encourage you not to either. I actually can't wait to hear that this place closed down because I don't understand how they're even still operating. read more

Overpriced nail salon - they are racists- they charge they own people less money and any other ethnicity more. They charge what they feel like it and not an actual set price. My friend who got so much more work done like flowers added to her nails was only charged 70 while all I got was tips with no designs and was charged $120. My friend is black and I'm Hispanic..... not cool. This happened with a few of my coworkers as well. read more

Sophy did my nails the first time and they were about a 6/10.The second time a gentleman (not Barry) did them and the quality of the work was poor. He glopped on the acrylic and it is just a blob on my nails. The shape is weird too. Both times I didn't get a hand massage or any cuticle trimming and it's also very expensive. 70 for a basic acrylic set. Probably my last visit to Barry's. read more

I have Given this salon 5 attempt and the last time is the last time. I got my nails done for Valentine's Day at 11am 7 days later the thumb nail began lifting. This isn't the first time it happen. The nails look beautiful however they will barely last you a week and for 60 dollar I don't think it's worth it . There is no customer service so if you are used to a salon where you get greeted it's not going to happen here they will look at you carry on with their conversation then be like "appointment?" They never listen I asked for nude I get nude with glitter I ask for pink they give me purple they never have any of the colors you see on Instagram. I wouldn't recommend this place nor will I go back ! I've attached pictures so you guys could see read more

Urgh! I was so excited when my friend told me there was a Black owned nail salon in Queens. Though 25 minutes from my house, I hurried over right after she recommended it. All I wanted was a gel manicure 1) I asked for round nails, she filed my nails down to stubs, and they're square (and some random shapes). While I looked down and saw and was visibly upset, she did inquire about what was wrong. But at that point what can you do so I left it alone. 2) They used a nail polish that kept bubbling under the UV light. The technician already painted super slow, and a bit sloppy. She first tried to send me under the UV with half a nail painted. So this made it a longggg process. 3) The way she filed my nails they're completed frayed and will chip in a few days I'm sure because of this. 4) This ugly manicure took almost 1 hour 45 minutes. How? Why? Beats me. 5) The smell of nail products is super strong in there. Salons that don't have proper ventilation can make people dizzy, esp. if you're prego. I normally leave salons right away with this strong smell but I assumed I'd be in and out in 30 minutes since there's no line. I genuinely hope this salon improves, I was eager to super my people but will be looking for another black owned salon until then. Update: It's now a few hours after my manicure and the gel cracked! Will be calling for a full refund in the morning. read more

I just want to make a disclaimer that I am not writing this review to slander Barry's Beauty Bar in any shape or form but the truth needs to be told. I went there yesterday with my mom because I booked an appointment to get my nails done for prom. The appointment was at 11 AM so the atmosphere was calm and it was not crowded. I waited for the nail tech to get prepared which wasn't a long wait. I told her how I wanted my nails and she started right away. At first, it didn't seem painful but I did have slight stinging with some filing and what not. Then, I noticed she started to push up my cuticles. Now, I'm not professional with nails in anyway but I do know that pushing, clipping or removing your cuticles isn't the best thing to do. It didn't hurt but then she started to push too far back to a point where my skin was getting pushed also. I flinched a bit and all she said was "hush" (typical Jamaican response when they hurt you; I'm Jamaican American so I know). I thought the pain was over until she look out the e-file. It was too high at first and she realized my "ows" and flinching so she turned it down. I still felt it grazing and burning my skin a bit. Fast forwarding, she starts to put on the acrylics and she STILL pushes back my cuticles/skin some more. Let's not forget the edges of my nails too. PAIN. At this point, she sees the grimace on my face and explains that she's doing that because "my cuticles are really small and soft so she has to move them out of the way". If they are so small, why are they a problem? After that horror was done, I went to wash my hands. Right as the soap and water touches my hands, I felt burning and painful sensation around my fingers. I was on the verge of crying. I stayed in the bathroom for a while to run cold water on it to ease the pain. My mom came back from outside and asked me what's wrong. I told her about and the nail tech realized and asked me what's wrong. Then she told my mom the same excuse like she told me, causing my mom to be lenient and not seeing a big deal out of it. Now it was time to polish my nails. After all the pain and trauma my nails went through, the nail polish made around my nails sting very badly. I exclaimed with "ouch!" and she took out a stick to wipe the excess polish (which still made it hurt). Overall, the nail job was pretty but it was very painful. She saw that I was in pain but she didn't ease up. She still filed my nails very roughly and damaged my cuticle along with my nail fold. I know they would heal with time but I hate when around my nails/nails are cut up or damaged. Getting acrylics should not hurt. Period. read more

I was pretty iffy about this place at first because of some of the reviews i had read , but i was looking for a new nail tech at the moment . The Nail tech i had did such a wonderful job on my nails , she took her time and made sure they were what i wanted. I felt comfortable . The only thing was it was so expensive i paid $95 which i felt like i was being overcharged . But overall i loved my nails . read more

Absolutely a waste of time and money. Got regular acrylic nails by the owner Barry himself. I wasn't impressed ,nails chipped two days later,polish got dirty,couldn't even get a fill in because the nails were coming off themselves . It only had been two weeks and it looks like I had the nails on for months. I always like to support the black businesses, but this establishment is just bad,no customer service,a bit dirty,and expensive. Definitely go somewhere else. read more

Barry's Beauty Bar Queens - Such a poor job - Day Spas Near Me - Rosedale, New York

Fungus on my nail from this salon. I'm disgusted. My first set ever was with Curt back in February. One nail lifted with him. Went back to Sharon for my birthday March 29th, today a nail started to lift and when I looked under it I seen it was fungus . Took all my nails off to find that I had fungus under 3 nails . Won't be returning back here . You think you pay all this money and you're getting the best put on your nails, Clearly it isn't good products being used . I will pass on the designs and pretty nails if I'll grow fungus under on my natural nail . read more

This is a long over due review. I've gotten my nails done here a couple of times and each time has tested my patience. At the end of the day, I go back to them because they have different color acrylics and they aren't afraid of trying new designs that you show them from your phone. But now that I have done some extensive research on Instagram, I found other nail techs in the area with way better attitudes & customer service. I really just want to emphasize on how much they need to work on their customer service!!!! I walked into the salon with my friend today & requested two gel manicures. They don't say welcome you when you come in ... Even if you come often. After an hour of waiting, DEB calls me over. I sit in her chair and explain to her exactly what I want with my nails. A simple French manicure with colors on the tips. She then tells me to get up and go to someone else's chair. The other woman tells me DEB is going to do my nails and then all of a sudden three people going back and fourth about who's going to do my nails! In the mean time, they're all giving me dirty looks and they just seem annoyed that they have to do a French manicure. I did them the favor of leaving but I do feel like they should've offered me better service. If you do decide to go here, do not expect to be treated like a person. read more

Customer service is horrible!! Just because I'm not a Jamaican I can clearly understand ur underhanded comment's. Singing "what a bambam" after I ask a question!! Really??? Not every born Carribean person have a deep accent I understood everything I just took it as a $100 lesson. The dusty shop won't last!! read more

I've been following his page on Instagram. I was in need of a fill in I decided to go and there was a lady just lounging on the chair I told them what I wanted she gets up and says go sit to that station I told her what I wanted and she said she was able to do what I requested upon sitting in the chair I noticed she really didn't have a clue on what she was doing after her trying to make it work I had to soak off my nails and get a new set . I was told someone else was going to do my nails another girl who was in there also tried to do what I showed her in a pic she was pleasant but my nails are thick and crazy looking I will never go back there again and not to mention I also received a pedicure I could have done at home and I was there 4 1/2 hours my nail bed is so sore Never again!!!!!!!! read more

I made an appointment here with the owner online as they require. He wasn't there when I arrived, the ladies in the shop didn't even address that. After waiting 15 minutes, they told me "oh, he's running late." I waited until 4:30- no show, no update from anyone. Unfortunate because they ask for your contact when you make an appointment, but no one notifies you if there's a problem. I got my nails done a week ago by a different tech here and it looks 3 weeks old. I've seen his work, very impressive but at this time, not sure it's worth the hassle of going to this location. read more

It's a love hate relationship with this place. Do they do an awesome job on my nails? YES!! Do my nails last in between fill-ins? YES!! Do people compliment me on my nails when they see them? YES!! The problem is the people in the shop aren't very friendly. Don't seem to appreciate my patronage. Don't even say thank you when they're paid AND tipped (TIPPED WELL). I'll keep going for now because the quality of the work outweighs the attitude..but it could be better. read more

My worse nail salon experience ever! The girl that did my polish change on my toes paints like a 5yr old. I had to keep asking her to redo it. They do not use standard industry practices for doing nails such as soaking gel polish off with acetone. Instead they use the drill which is painful and to top it off I saw 2 baby roaches near my feet while I was getting the polish taken off my nails. I left immediately. Definitely not what they appear to be by the website. read more

I found found this place on Instagram and thought I would give it a try. There was a long list of stringent rules to make an appointment which was a turnoff (and not followed by employees because there were kids all over the place there). I decided to give the place a shot as a walk-in. I was seated right away with Curt. He was pleasant and fast. I was going to get one on the designs on the Instagram but opted for a simple stiletto so I can judge the quality of the techs' work. It was ok, I will update on the durability . Update: Very good quality no lifting lasted three weeks with no problem read more

Despite some of the questionable reviews my bestie and I decided to give this place a try and I must say.... we were NOT disappointed! Service was great, Symphony did my pedi and she was awesome! Great conversation, respects privacy and understood the balance between chatter and relaxation. Great massage, which I absolutely needed, I work on my feet and she made me feel brand new. She even recommended the Polish I chose! It's her first week on the job ladies so take her name and get in line. Whenever I come back to NY I will be sure to pay her a visit! ***4 stars bc of the bodyguards at the door downstairs. They share a building with a hair salon (hair first floor, nails on the second ) and the women at the door acted like they didn't want to let us in. Bc I look like a thug with my khaki ankle pants and pointed toe flats -__- read more

if i could give this place 0 stars i would.. Yesterday i went to get a ombre full set and my thumbs were 2 different lengths and the ombre was poorly done. Than today I call to complain and Tania one of the supposedly " good nail tech" says i can come in and get them redone. But did horribly once again . I asked for long square nails & i get my left hand short and coffin shaped & my right hand longer than the left. I complain to her about my left hand & she says i should've told her before and catches an attitude to then tell me i can get my money back. Normally I would've said yes but my friends birthday is in two days & i didnt wanna go in with no nails but it looks like thats what its gonna be because the paint job is terrible and im leaving there unsatisfied and in pain because my cuticles is red and swollen . Overall horrible experience especially for 85 plus tip ! PLEASE LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS ON THIS PLACE ! I TRIED TO OVERLOOK THE BAD FEEDBACK BUT PLEASE DONT . read more

I will never be back to this salon again. The workers are rude and fraudulent. Their website says that a full set of acrylics is $30. I made my appointment and paid a $20 deposit that i assumed went towards my service. When i arrived, i got my nails soaked off which was an additional $5. Lee, the technician who did my nails, told me that in addition to my $20 deposit i had to pay $30. When i asked for what, she got very rude and asked another technician how much a full set with gel polish was even though i got no polish on my nails. The other technician looked at her phone and said it was $42. The website says $30 for exactly what I got but these people are thieves and just wanted more money. If those are no longer your prices, update your website and stop falsely advertising your business. They were rude, unprofessional and I definitely will NOT be here again. read more

Go get your nails slayed by Sophy‼ She takes her time with your nails & they come out beautiful. I've been going to her since she got here & she hasn't disappointed me yet. She's very professional & gets her work done. The energy in the shop is always so calm, & music is always playing. I don't understand the bad reviews. If your sitting in the chair getting your nails done & you see the tech doing something you don't like, you have the opportunity to stop them or tell them. I can't speak on other people, but I love my nail tech. read more

I am very annoyed. I heard sooo much about this place (great designs, professional etc). However this place is ridiculously expensive. I had a party to attend and I came into Rosedale branch with a design in mind. In total I paid $90!!!!!!!!! Then four nails pop off in 3 days!!! I returned to the same nail tech and she redid them and the same thing happened again. Instead of going back I called and for the time wasted I was offered a discount on my refills. Sorry (not really) but I don't have money to waste. The photos that I attached are less than 2 weeks read more

Sigh... I wanted to give this nail salon a chance... and I did, in fact, I gave them 2 and both times, I was disturbed by the work ethic here... So let's start with the nail tech, Barry... his skill on nails is amazing, he is a perfectionist and as much as I use my hands, not one nail had chipped polish or looked lack luster... but he is ALWAYS LATE and had the gall to insist on an appointment system... even has a website to book said appointments, so why be late every time... I book well in advance (at least a week) and I'm always on time and my time is precious.... The first time I booked an appt here, I'm on my way to head over there and about 30 mins before my appt time, I get a call from someone in the salon, saying Barry is running late... how late? No one knows... just that they will call me when he gets there.... 2 HOURS LATER, I get a call back saying he is there and I can come in, so I do and.... he is there, just sitting matter of factly, no apology, no nothing, so I ask him how he is doing, he responds dryly and we begin... after talking to my friend who also came to see Barry after me, he loosens up and he does a great job, and I'm in love! Fast forward to today, I made an appointment last week for this day and I come in for a fill in and a pedicure.... Barry is running late AGAIN!!! But this time, no one called to tell me!! So I get my pedicure started and now the shenanigans begin... btw, this was not the original girl requested when booking, this was Atkima or something like that..... the left over nail girl.... First, no removal of the polish, just put your feet in... I give the look of irritation and she asks me if I'm okay and I tell her, no, the water is cold, she warms it up to my liking and then takes my foot out and immediately cuts my nail without asking me what I want first, so I had to stop her... I don't like my nails cut... but she already cut my nail, but it's halfway off... so I tell her I do not want my nails cut, only filed, she then put my foot back in the water... mind you I still haven't had my polish removed..... why... AND.... I had to ask her to please cut the remaining piece of nail off, she says she will... later...... and proceeds to take my other foot and butcher away at it with cheap tools you get at your local beauty supply.. after being a little too heavy handed with these cheap tools, I gently take my foot out of her grasp and tell her that she is hurting me and I would like for her to stop...... now what happens next, let's me know that I will NOT BE RETURNING.... EVER.... This woman then goes behind another pedicure chair and brings out a DRY WALL SANDER!!!! FOR MY FEET! You cant be serious!!! I have great feet, you should be thanking the foot God's that I came in today and gave you a reprieve! So I ask her, "what is that?" and she just simply points to my foot like this is routine here, so I tell her, she WILL NOT BE USING THAT ON MY FOOT... She says so arrogantly, "Oh, you don't have to use it", and I tell her, no, you won't be using that on my foot... now after all this, I look at my toes and every nail looks jacked... she begins polishing when I noticed this jacked file job I got and I ask her to please file them straighter and she FILES THEM WITH THE POLISH ON!!! Does not take the polish off, even AFTER SHE FILED AND GOT FILE DUST ON MY NAILS! So I ask her if she going to re-do the polish, she says, she was but, I didn't give her a chance to, but.... why the fu** would you do that in the first place!! So she does the sloppiness over and mumbles to go dry my nails... I sit at the raggedy dryer MEANT FOR NAILS, NOT TO BE STEPPED ON REPEATEDLY and I look at the time.... 30 mins passed and no Barry... its now 20 mins into the time I booked for him and 6 other people seem to be waiting for him as well.... After sitting there frustrated and ashen... because I got no lotion after my pedicure... one of the nail techs yells "excuse me" very loudly and I turn around and she is in fact, talking to me and asks if someone else can do my nails, I shake my head no. I sit there and let my polish dry for another 5 minutes, get up ask the same nail tech, when is Barry to be expected, she says 2:45pm, I look at the clock again, it's 2:40pm, so I make the wise decision to leave... she asks me if I want to reschedule some other time, I tell her no thank you, pay my bill of $22 DOLLARS + $2 TAX AND GIVE THAT FUNKY, GREASY left over nail girl from the back, $5 dollars tip and leave... and go back to my old spot and get a spa pedicure to calm my nerves... Barry's Beauty Bar lost me & 2 other friends who won't be making any further appts.. Sorry not sorry, Barry, I hope your loyal following stays longer than I could... read more

Never again! I followed him on Instagram for quite sometime and always like his work. During the summer I decided to book an appt for the day before I was leaving for vacation. Made my appt for 1:30 and I got there on time. After arriving on time and waiting 30 mins one of the ladies said he had an emergency and will be late, do I want someone else to do it? I said no. I will wait. The ladies had the nerve to say things under there breath talking in patoi (Jamaican dialect) not knowing I am a Jamaican. They were saying things like I'm not taking her and blah blah. After another 30 mins they said he won't make it to the appt. I asked if someone can call me when he's there I don't live far, they took my number but no one called. In 2 1/2 hrs I called n they said yes he's there. Arrived back at the shop waited another 30 mins and still no Barry , this time he's there but feeling extremely sick. I gave up cause now it's late I don't wanna drive around looking for a nail salon n I leave the next day. I wasn't super pleased with the nails but it was such a struggle so I settled. First off if I made an appt with him why get upset if I want to wait for him? Second communicate n be str8 up. Granted if he's sick ok he's sick but u could have told me that 3 hrs ago... Barry would never get my money again. They were really unprofessional. read more

I'm only giving 2 stars because the staff is entertaining, but Over all I had a bad experience. I should have listened to the reviews. My fellow yelpers were right sad to say. This is a very honest review. I've been following them on Instagram for over a year. The last time I was in NYC I didn't have time to check them out. So this afternoon my flight landed in queens from Houston & I decided I was going to check them out. I called before I arrived to ask if they were taking walk-ins & I was told they were. I arrived at 6pm and did not get out of there until 9 o'clock. I asked how much would it be to soak off & for a full set? Beverly told me it will be $30. I sat down soak my nails off and filed off all of the acrylic "by myself" no one helped. I'm thinking to myself what am I paying you five dollars to soak off and you're not even going to help me take the acrylic off... But whatever! It took me about 15/20 mins to soak. Then Shawnese told me to sit in her chair she would do my nails. I'm very picky when it comes to my nails and this lady is an amateur. I told her from the beginning I did not fly all the way from Houston to get my nails done and they come out wrong. She assured me everything would be fine she knew what she was doing. Well that was a lie!! She messed my nails up so bad I was getting pissed off and very unsatisfied with her work. I even asked her how long have she been doing nails? she replied one year. Beverly sitting next to Shawnese, see my facial expression's and heard me complaining. So when she was done with her client... She decided to take over my nails. Thank God she did, because I was honestly debating on if I should even pay them or not. Beverly is very good! I should've went to her from the beginning. She tried her best to fix my nails, but I still left there with two crooked nails. I ended up paying $50 for a plain short full set, no designs or anything. Which is $20 more than the original $30 I was quoted in the beginning. I'm highly disappointed and don't know if I will ever return. read more

Barry's Beauty Bar Queens - In my opinion not worth $50 they're not even all the same length. Smh - Day Spas Near Me - Rosedale, New York

I've been to Barry's several times due to the fact it's right next door to my job and I wanted to support my own ppl. Well let me tell u, all the nail techs online weren't the ones doing nails. It was always a new inexperienced tech. Specifically the last time I went I wanted to get rose gold chrome nails. Smh the lady did a horrible job. I left there because I had to pick my daughter up but best believe I came back the next day after work. I went upstairs and POLITELY ask the lady to do my nails over. She said "wah ya want? More chrome?" I said yes. She sucked her teeth and told me to have a seat. I say there for 45 minutes as new ppl (walk in) came and sat in a tech station. I was pissed off and I left.

The one reason that I keep coming back is Bc they do a more decent job then other nail salons, but they charge an arm and a leg for just a more DECENT job. I've been to this nail salon many times, and all the time they are so rude and unpleasant. There is one lady who always hisses the loudest and treats my hand very rough when handling my nails.i want to support black businesses that's why I go back but enough is enough. I will support another black business. Be warned this is a caution when deciding to choose this place for your nail needs. read more

Never post reviews but I had to for this one. I love the idea of both of Barry's locations, but I hate the service. I've been to both the Queens and Brooklyn locations twice now and literally each time I've entered and everyone just stares..no welcome no how can I help you. The techs barely talk to you and are EXTREMELY ROUGH. Literally each time I've been to the locations my nails turn out great BUT I always leave bleeding. I visited the Brooklyn location on 12/10 and the tech was so rough with me that she twisted my wrist and cut my finger open with the buffer. She noticed the blood and asked me what happened lmfao. On top of that I've noticed that all of the techs aren't skilled with designs which means you'll come in with a picture to recreate and instead of saying they can't do it they will try and give you something completely different but with their pricey add ons. Not cool when you're paying 70+ for a full set. Again the nails are always FIRE but I don't think the overall painful experience, lack of communication and vibe is always worth it. read more

I always get my nails done here from Sharon because she's least distracted. I'm usually happy with my results. I get fed up with appointments because you will never start on time and that sucks,you'll start at least an hour after your appointment so plan ahead. Currently looking for somewhere new for the sake of timing read more

This is my second time at this establishment and each time I had to wait more than 30 minutes for my appointment. The first time the place didn't even open at 11am so I had to wait at the beauty salon downstairs. Why have a $20 deposit for an appointment if it doesn't serve its purpose. Although my nails were done beautifully by Lee both times,BBB really needs to work on their punctuality. My time is very valuable and I take my appointment times very seriously. read more

Today I went to Barry's to fix three broken nails after lifting my suit case the wrong way . I never went to them before but I loved the work I seen on IG ( Instagram) so I was very eager to try them . I walked into the Rosedale shop it seemed ok at first but then I learned the hard way this wasn't a place I would spend my money again . 1. Very rude and nasty workers (The nail tech and her coworker made rude remarks about me wanted my nails a certain way when it came to shaping my nails . when I showed her a picture I wanted she was very impatient and I was told to look myself when she so called didn't know what I was talking about . 2. High prices ( not worth it) 3.constantly had to tell the nail tech to fix something that should've been a no brainer. I will be going back to my asians with open arms ! Wish I could give 0 stars!!! read more

never again! My nails were so thick and messy. When it was time for the nail to come off they would not no matter how much I soaked and I got an infection on my index finger. The woman that did my nails was tall light skin looks like she's in her mid 30's short cut and also does eyelashes. Not to mention I asked for the casket shape and she gave me stiletto nails and said "sorry her mind was somewhere else" my toes were painted horribly I was so disappointed because I was expecting what I see on IG DONT DO IT TO YOURSELF!!! read more
