I'm a fairly regular customer here, and I usually have good experiences. Today, I had a new technician and the manicure was disappointing. The nail shaping was uneven, the cuticle work was sloppy, and I didn't receive the hand massage that's normally included. I couldn't talk to the manager because she was with someone else. I hope this was just an isolated experience. Given the recent price increase, I expected the same level of quality that I've received in the past. read more

I had a nail emergency that required professional care and expertise. I closed my thumb nail in the car door a few months ago which lead to severe damage, discoloration and splitting. I searched high and low throughout Queens and LI for a professional salon. My Yelp research lead me here. While in Long Island running errands, I stopped in. I read another review posted by a woman who had a illness that impacted the appearance of her nails. The salon was able to fix it and did a Silk Wrap on each nail followed by a Gel powder manicure for her. Her nails looked great. Wendy took me for a 4:30 appointment and she was so kind and welcoming. I also met the pleasant owner Cheong. I explained my situation and asked their opinion on acrylic nails or wrapping. My thumb nail was almost nonexistent. Wendy and Cheong recommended silk wrapping the nail and doing a gel powder Manicure on my natural nails. I decided on the French Gel powder. Wendy worked her magic and created a new thumb nail out of silk. There was a weekly special on the Gel Powder for $35.00. The salon is very modern and clean. They have a cute fish tank in front and several Buddha statues. Love the earth tones and comfortable chairs. Cheong offered everyone a nice fluffy pillow for their back. Grace did my gel powder manicure and she was very sweet and explained everything. The end result was perfectly polished nails. When she was done she gave a great complimentary back massage. Many salons do not offer this anymore. It's like a thing of the past. They understand what good service is here and they now have a new loyal customer. read more

C-Nail Studio 1 - French Gel Powder - Nail Salons Near Me - Mineola, New York

I've been getting my nails done here for almost a year. This place is way better than any of the other affordable salons in the area. I work with my hands in customer service and food, and the SNS powder gel manicure is the only manicure that lasts long enough to justify spending the money. If you want the length of acrylics, with less damage, just ask for a gel manicure with tips!! After doing tips for one month, this is the current length of my natural nails!! Unlike acrylic, it allows my natural nails to remain healthy. They have a variety of colors for your nails (paint and powder). They have multiple spa pedicure options, and another perk is you can usually make a same day appointments!! Highly recommend. Nail tech Fiona is my favorite! read more

C-Nail Studio 1 - Powder Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Mineola, New York

Came in at the tail end of the day. Note that there is only street parking. The place is very small but cute with only 3 or 4 pedicure chairs. I was taken right a way to get a gel manicure. They noticed I was a first time customer and thanked me for coming in. Super friendly and although they seemed to work very fast they made sure everything was done right. Reasonably priced my gel manicure after soaking off was $30. They had a TON of colors to choose from. I was very happy and would definitely come back here if I'm ever passing through again. P.S. They have their own WiFi! read more

This studio was very much up there, as comments from past goers are saying. I definitely can see why it is loved so much. I went with my friend today, unsure how it would go. I received a good service, but I feel the girl I had was just a bit too young. Why: She had started cutting the dried skin on the side of my toes BEFORE placing my feet in the water... which most know is not the way since then the skin is too hard and you don't get everything out. The workers are very sweet, and lovely to talk with. They make sure they do the work you need, all you have to do is say what you would like and how. Just be sure you have your fingers/toes wet first, before asking them to start cutting "into your problem". Waxing for eyebrows is also great--so happy! Just be sure ALL you hair is out of the way before they start...I noticed I had small pieces of wax in my hair on the way home. But now I have a beautiful face to go with my day :) I hope you come and try their spa pedicure treatment--which includes a FREE mani. A little rushed, but my hands never looked better. And the soles of my feet never felt softer and more relaxed. However, if I go back is the question read more

Overall I'm satisfied with the service I received although am disappointed that the 15% off special they advertise in their storefront wasn't honored this morning because "it doesn't apply to spa pedicures" if this is truly the case then there should be some fine print at the bottom of the sign, which there is not. Also my manicure already chipped even though I paid an extra $5 for Essie polish which supposedly lasts 10 days. read more

I liked the nails and the environment was good. No one really spoke much and they didn't take offense to me not speaking which is always a Golden thing. They listened to everything I had to say. The only issue was that the matte color that I asked for was white and with that, the matte top coat washed away as soon as I washed my hands after leaving. I was disappointed because it looked like my nails were dirty the entire time I had the tips on. read more

First time coming here, decided to try it because of convenient location. It's on old country road so parking can be challenging, but they did a really good job. Competitive pricing as well. We made an appt and still had to wait a little but we didn't mind. Decent color selection, not the biggest variety of gel colors but enough to have a selection. I'd recommend giving this place a try! read more

I was getting out of work, a few blocks from this place, and I found C Nail. So, I decided to go in and try a new thing: gel powder manicure. Manicure was decent. But, there was no listed price, and I was charged $40. Manicure wasn't TERRIBLE, but it wasn't great either. A lot of "glue" was left under my nails and on the sides. The paint job was fine. There were little specks of black on my nails... There was like blue ink on my hands after I was wiped off with a hot towel. Would I try it again? Maybe, but I want to check out the other places nearby. Got $4.00 off with Yelp deal. Also, she nicked my cuticles a few times and they sting a lot read more

Absolutely love my nails! As you can see from my picture I don't like to stick to just one color. Often other salons get confused when I tell them how I want my nails done and i need to confirm multiple times. I was pleasantly surprised when I only needed to say it once. Work done was quality work, I'm a happy customer. Thank you! read more

As a child I had an illness which caused nail dystrophy. Being self conscious about it, I've always had my nails done by salons most of my life. The nails would not last longer then a week and they felt like they were gonna come off mid week. I eventually gave up for awhile until I met Chris. Today marked 3 weeks since Chris placed my wraps. I'm absolutely amazed. She is very professional, gentle and knowledgeable! Thank you so much Chris. You're amazing. read more

Not happy. The ladies are nice and know their colors, but my powder nail tips came out horrid. Pedicure came out very nice, but my finger nails look terrible. I literally had to come home to file them into shape myself bc they're all different shapes (width, squared, rounded). To top it all off, I have chunks of glue under every nail. I did give feedback while there, but I realized quickly that it was pointless. I wasn't too happy when I left, but was even more angry when I saw my nails in natural light. Also, I got there before 2pm, and their sign says 15% before 2pm, and they didn't honor it bc all she said was "no more". NOTE: Take the sign down. $60 for these two services to have me come home and try to fix my own nails is not okay. read more

I came in and asked for UV gel nails and a pedicure. It took 3 hours, Mary cut me on 2 of my fingers and then asked me what happened! The nails are unusually thick and lumpy. It took 3 hours and I felt like they were in a rush. I decided to come here because of all of the great reviews on yelp but they are really misleading. I didn't even let her put a top coat or color on my nails because I was so unhappy. It costed $70 and my nails have never looked worse. read more

There's come a time when a man has to be a man and realize that he can no longer live life without caring for his feet lol. My moment was right before a vacation. Stopped by this gem of a place and I sat back and let these nail gods do their work. Aside from their phenomenal service, they were able to tame my bad boys at an affordable price. And the spa chairs were beyond relaxing: added bonus. Highly recommend for your nailcare needs. read more

Came here for the second time for convenience. I'm writing this review to remind myself to never come here again. I'm getting a pedicure and the nail tech again is wearing gloves which makes it not so relaxing. The water my feet are soaking in is cold and when I asked for jets she says "they are not working." I would have gotten a lavender spa pedicure if it weren't for that. Oh well. Never again. read more

The best gel powder I've had!! Would totally recommend!! Mary does my nails and has great attention to detail!! My go to nail salon!! Love it! I add pictures periodically read more

I was ranting and raving about this place until today. They rushed me out of there today 15 minutes prior to their closing time. I usually don't bitch or get upset when it comes to closing time because I understand the desire to leave work but, I was simply drying my nails when I was rushed out, they could've given me 10 more minutes or so to completely dry my nails. The girl who did my nails today didn't offer me the spa treatment for my pedicure like they usually do. She scrubbed my feet hurriedly and was done with my pedicure in about 5 minutes or so. No time really spent on my feet and I still have dead skin on my feet. When she got to my nails she pulled the skin so hard it hurt, I had to pull my hands back from her. I am very disappointed with today's service and I'm not sure if I will be coming back here. read more

I made a reservation for gel manicure and regular pedicure from this place. Service was super rushed and the woman (she didn't tell me her name even after I asked) who did my nails butchered my cuticles. After I left I was bleeding and my cuticles are still sore (a day after the service). Would not recommend going here. Find a better place read more

I love this salon, professional, courteous, patient and really good at what they do. Keep up the good work. Queeno did my nails and she is the best . She didn't rush at all and gave me best sns manicure experience. I highly recommend Queeno. read more

Big NOPE. $95 plus tip for a pedicure and simple powder manicure that takes two and a half hours? Absolutely not. The pedicure was fine; she could have been a bit cleaner and used a wet towel instead of paper towels but I can look past it. I've watched my powder manicures get done for the past 3 years so I know what to expect. The first nail she did she had to immediately acetone soak off and redo because she was clearly learning on the job how to do a basic ombré. Not only that, she did a very lazy shaping job when I asked for coffin shape she barely did it. You would think she was being precise bc it took her over an hour of the manicure alone but half the time was her filing down the powder she made so thick, reapplying and refilling. She applied the white powder that's transparent several times after doing my colored powder which is why it came out so thick. Considering the fact that she doesn't know the proper way, It doesn't look ugly and could have been worse, but I'm definitely going to fix it at my regular place which means I wasted my money here. read more

I went to get my first powder gel manicure while in the area. This place has no frills and might be a turn off for people who are used to the day spa decorations. They accommodated me immediately. When I asked which brand of powder they used they said SNS but I saw no SNS letters anywhere. Either way the end product was meticulous (my cuticles get nasty and the skin around my nails get calloused easily) which is a lot more I can say for many other salons. I paid $40 for a powder gel manicure and they guarantee 3-4 weeks so we'll se how that goes! read more

Christy is by far one of the best manicurists I've ever been to! She was so sweet, very helpful & extremely talented.

C-Nail Studio 1 - Nails by Christy - Nail Salons Near Me - Mineola, New York

I don't know how this place has 5 stars and I'm not one of those overly picky people but I expect to at least pay what is posted on their price list but I'll get to that. I was in a tight spot since my usual place is not open on Sundays and this happened to be on my way home. I had a job interview the next day and would not have had time to go to my usual place. So I took a shot ... and boy did I regret it. I will say that the woman who did my nails the 1st time (yes, the 1st time around because they had to be re-done!) was nice enough but she clearly did not have enough experience doing color gel manicures let alone french color gel. While she was working on my nails I was looking at the price list and noticed they do eyebrow tinting and the price posted said $10. I told the woman doing my nails (didn't get her name - she had bangs) that I was interested. After my nails were "done" it was time to do my eyebrows. The woman who tinted my eyebrows definitely knew what she was doing and I was satisfied with how my eyebrows came out (which is why I gave them the 1 star). Once they were done I showed my nails to this woman and pointed out the very obvious smudges and rough spot on the surface and the fact that they looked dull and not shiny like freshly painted nails should look. She agreed they needed to be redone and redid them herself. At this point it was close to closing time so I really did appreciate her taking the time to redo them because she didn't rush too much. Then it came time to pay, they charged me $40 for french color gel (which I knew going in and since they did redo them I was fine with) and $20 for the eyebrow tinting, NOT the posted $10 price. Now while I was sitting there for all that time, because in the end I spent close to 2 hours there, I did notice signs stating that due to some article in the NY times they were raising their prices. Ok. No problem but if you're raising your prices take down your old ones. Why should I have to assume that the prices posted are incorrect? Not only incorrect but double? This is really terrible customer service. When I pointed out their mistake and showed her where it said $10 on their price list all she said was "oh, that's wrong - it's $20" and stared at me blankly. Really? Don't get me wrong, I realize it's only $10 more but as the customer I should know going in what I'm expected to pay after everything is said and done. I will not be returning to this nail salon and recommend to others, If you want to give them a try, make sure you know up front what everything costs. Super disappointed. read more

Went for the second time today to fix my nails and change the color on my toes... LOVE the turn out. Very clean, friendly, and relaxing environment.

Very clean, small nail studio with four pedicure stations and four manicure stations. I went early morning on a Saturday and enjoyed a regular pedicure and manicure. The stylist was gentle and meticulous, and sprayed a sterilizer on some tools before using them.
