    messy gel nails
    Brooke G.

    i really hate leaving poor reviews especially since the nail tech was so nice but it doesn't change the fact that this was probably the messiest gel manicure i've ever gotten. i also watched her use the exact same tools she used on the person before me without cleaning/disinfecting them. in addition, two people who were there when i first arrived came back to the shop to get their manicures fixed so if that doesn't tell you all you need to know idk what will. really wanted to like this place... would not recommend.

    They do amazing nails all the time!! Annie's my favorite. Tiffany is amazing as well! They could be a little nicer and warmer but that's just an addition. They're great. My sister and I have been customers since we moved out here almost 10 years ago- since they first opened. I will always come here!!

    Store cleanliness is ehhhhh and there's no ventilation and the interior can be updated . The lady Henny did my sns powder gel. She had a moderate hand, she accidentally cut me with her drill on my cuticle but aside from that she was nice and did a great job. Very convenient location to me and there's parking in the back. The manager didn't seem so nice though but I will be coming back for Henny.

    Completely OBSESSED! I originally had an appointment at a very exclusive nail salon in merrick but they canceled on me last minute and said that they could not see me any time today. Well, I walked into cool nails without an appointment, got seen almost immediately and was BLOWN away at how amazing my nails came out, and for $10 cheaper! I got exactly what I wanted with warm customer service! I wish the decor was a bit nicer just so they can attract more clientele Overall extremely satisfied

    Recently I popped into this nail shop looking for quick mani and pedi to very professional and knowledgeable on how I wanted my nails done . I received only Acrylic built in my real nail and a nice gel pedi . Awesome nail shop right in Baldwin

    Tiffany did an awesome job shaping my Coffin nails. She took care of me right away after I called last minute which was very convenient. Update: One nail broke due to me Opening a stuck cabinet and Tiffany fixed it right away without charging. Thank you !!!

    I was looking for a nail salon that would do a good job with the newer styles as many of the nail salons in the area are outdated. I decided to give Cool Nails a try despite the bad reviews in regards to customer service. I started with a pedicure, the lady (sorry didn't get her name) was nice but cut me twice and made me bleed. I'm not sure if she's new or just had a bad day but for obvious reasons I didn't like that. Hence the 4 stars. My nails were done by Ken. He was very informative and helpful, I do think he was a bit annoyed at me because my hands tense up when someone is touching them so it makes it harder for him to work, I get it, but as I told him it's an involuntary reaction lol I can't help that. Anyway, the overall experience was good, I absolutely LOVE the way my nails came out and I will be returning in a couple of weeks. PS. I had no problem finding parking in the back of building and was helped seconds after walking through the door.

    Tiffany is phenomenal with tips :) I come there with random ideas and she always fulfills!

    Tiffany is phenomenal with acrylic tips! Job always well done :) she brings my ideas to life!

    Been coming here for over 2 years now & they're the BEST. They can do designs, they have so many colour options, they even do colour changing gel nail polish. You'll have problems deciding on what you want as they offer so much. I only go to Tiffany so make an appointment if you want her & want some designs. They do get really busy on weekends and Friday night. So go early weekdays to be seen quickly. I love this place so much, I'm often away from home and I wait weeks to just get the done there because they always do my nails perfect!

    I've been in the market for a new nail Salon and I've stumbled upon COOL NAILS from friends. And I'm so glad I did! Tried it for the first time this week. I got a pedicure, new acrylic set, and eyebrow waxing. All Completely happy with the work done. They pay attention to detail and customer satisfaction. A very friendly atmosphere. 'Chou' did my pedicure (hopefully spelled her name right) VERY sweet woman. HIGHLY recommend TIFFANY for doing nails. She did mine and I was more than happy. Highly reccomend this nail place. Never would have found it!

    First time going there and I love it and I have a positive experience here from start to finish.

    This review is long overdue but Tiffany and Ken are my go-to manicurists. I no longer live in Baldwin but I still trek the 40 minutes to get my nails done by them. The salon gets pretty busy on weekends so I suggest calling in and making an appointment. Other than that, it's your pretty standard experience. Go in, pick a color and bam you're getting your nails done. However, they must be doing some kind of witchcraft because my nails last FOREVER when I get them done here- both gel and regular mani. I can go two weeks with a regular manicure (not chipping) and around 3.5 with gel. Highly recommend!

    #1 nail salon in my book ......So I desperately needed my nails done yesterday. I have my normal amazing nail artist but I knew I could not get a last minute appointment ....

    Ask the Community - Cool Nails

    How much does a full set of acrylics cost, as well as fill ins?

    I only ever do the color acrylic sets because I despise nail polish, and rather not use it at all, and Cool Nails has a variety of colors. The price of a color acrylic full set is $55 and a fill in, $35. For regular clear acrylic, it's significantly… 

    Does this place do the powder manicures like SNS or ANC? If so, does anyone know how much they charge for a manicure with it?

    They have SNS. I paid $35 but it's like $37 if you're paying with card.

    Make sure to call a few days, maybe a week ahead to schedule with Tiffany as she is very popular.

    So happy with this place! I came in on a Thursday at 4:45 and only had to wait a couple of minutes…read morefor my gel manicure. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. They ensure that you are satisfied and happy with your nails before leaving. My nails came out absolutely perfect as my nail technician took the time and care into each and every nail. A week later and they still look as tho they were done that day!

    We got there around 10:50am after they said they would take me and my cousin (2 acrylic sets). They…read morewere unorganized and chaotic. Four workers (all the workers there) worked on my cousins nails and I had three different women work on mine. They struggled to understand what "tapered square" was and made it a weird discussion. We had to jump from chair to chair about three times to have all these different women pick up where the last woman left off. The design I chose was simple (I've been doing my nails for years now and this is one of the simplest designs I've chosen) but for some reason they still struggled to understand what to do and how to do it. Near the end, some appointments came and they began rushing. Two women began working on me at the same time. One hand in the air crossed and the other one at the woman in front of me (see picture); it was honestly a shit show. For two simple sets, my cousin and I ended leaving at 1:30 pm. 10:50 am to 1:30 pm. Come on now. They ended up charging me $120 for just my nails (never have I gotten charged that much for something so simple). And then had the audacity to laugh at the $10 tip I left after all of that. I wouldn't recommend coming here.

    This place is SO close and I have never been here. I'm definitely not someone who gets my nails…read moredone all the time, but I like to do it every so often, so my mom and I came here for pedicures. The staff here is so friendly and inviting. It's also extremely clean; All of the tools are freshly packaged, there are liners in the tubs for pedicures, and the thing that they scrub your heel with is a single use stick on! I just got a basic pedicure and added a 10 min foot massage, and then a manicure. Everything was great. My polish looks perfect and they were not too harsh around the cuticles which a lot of other places I've been to are. The timing was also perfect-they took enough time that you don't feel rushed and do a great job, but they are also fast and efficient. I think my technician may have been the owner and she was incredible. I meant to get her name but I didn't. It's hard to decide where to get your nails done when there are places on every block in LI, but I would highly recommend this spot and I will definitely be coming back here when I need a mani/pedi
