I've been going to Tony since I was a kid and he was working out in Chinatown. Also went to him when he made the transition to New City but after some years I moved on to different barbers. I'm back in town for the summer and after hearing some of my hometown friends had been going to him too, I thought why not make a comeback. Tony is as professional as they come and his scissor work is immaculate and efficient, you'll be in and out within 30 minutes. It's going to suck not going to him as I'll be out of town but if you read this and want a nice haircut... Go. To. Tony. read more

I've taken my grandma and grandma-in-law here for spa pedicures (both in their 80s, both Indian immigrants and unfamiliar with nail salons in general) and the employees were very caring, respectful, and patient. That's an immediate 5 stars in my book. I've also come here for pedicures and powder manis myself and left very satisfied. Def my go to when I'm in Rockland! read more

After finding out that the salon I normally get my hair done was closed because it was Christmas Eve, I was apprehensive to try a new salon. I have wanting to get a specific hair cut for a while and finally got the guts to do it. (yes, last minute!) I wanted to surprise everyone in family with this "new look" and was in a desperate need of getting someone with experience to make my vision happen. Obviously, I had to look in yelp, many places were closed and the places that were "opened" didn't answer their phones! I stumble by CU beauty, read their reviews and decided to book an appointment. A gentlemen, who I'll later meet by the name of Tony, answered. I warned him about my curly hair, about the idea I had about getting a specific hair cut, and zoom! He was able to schedule a last minute appointment. Walking in the place I noticed that it is super clean, there's a coat rack for customer to hang their coats, magazines organized flat on a take I noticed that in addition to doing hair they offer nail service, pedicure and waxing. (The only reason, I am giving it a 4 out of 5 was because no one greeted me when I enter. ) When it was my turn, Tony started 5 mins before my scheduled time. He asked me various questions, I showed him the picture of the looked I was longing for. He washed my hair, and began with the cutting/ styling my hair! Tony has talents! He was able to replicate my hair with the picture I showed him (he even incorporated the modifications I asked about the length being a bit longer). Tony is good at what he does! He took his time to make sure that He fulfilled the image I had in mind. YES I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TONY! I am completely satisfied about my hair cut and new look! I want to thank Tony for being patient with me, for asking questions to clarify what I want and for being able to deliver and make sure that he actually gave me the hair cut I wanted. His attitude shows that he truly cares about his customer and I know that he definitely take prides in his work! if you are reading this, THANK YOU AGAIN TONY!!! I love my hair cut and will be returning! I'll included a picture of the hairstyle I wanted and showed him, and the hair cut he game me. Mind you I've made some modifications on the look I wanted for myself. read more

Came here on a Thursday around 12pm with an appointment to get a french color gel manicure and regular pedicure. The girl who did my nails did an excellent job, although there was a little confusion about the cost. After reading some reviews here on yelp I was under the impression that regular color gel was $20 and french color gel was $25... but the girl told me that french color gel was $30. I asked about what the reviews said and she said they weren't the correct prices. Kinda makes me think they give out special prices to some but not all. Hmm. But overall she did a good job so I didn't mind giving her that extra $5. read more

Love Tony's and his wife. My mom & I been following him from Chinatown to Rockland . He been doing our hair for over 10 years. Always come out so nice. Salon is clean and relax. Must come and enjoy. read more

I am very sad to leave this poor review because I have been a loyal CU beauty center customer for quite some time, but today was just unacceptable. I made a 2:30pm appointment for my 4-year-old daughter and myself. She was so excited for this "mommy and daughter salon" time as she put it. When we entered, there were 2 available nail technicians, which I thought was perfect. As usual, they directed my little girl to pick a color from the display case for her mani/pedi. There was a yellow post-it on one area within the case that we did not initially notice. It said the the nail polishes within this particular area cost 2 dollars more as they were longer lasting nail polishes. We mistakenly chose from those and we were very appreciative when my nail technician mentioned to me that they would cost more. She informed me it would cost $4 more for my daughter's mani/pedi ($2/each) and I thanked her and chose similar colors from the other display cases that did not cost more. I made sure I chose the correct ones from the owner, Tony, and he encouraged me to continue to use the nail polish that cost extra. My response was that I would have loved to if my daughter allowed them to stick and not peel them off. My daughter subsequently sits in her assigned pedicure chair and I go with Gabby, my wonderful nail technician to begin my gel polish. My daughter is waiting while I begin. 2:30 becomes 2:45 and she is still sitting as still as a soldier for 15 minutes. At 2:55pm (25 minutes later) I ask politely when my 4-year-old will be attended to for the sole reason she is, well 4, and her patience, while quite impressive, is not unlimited. The owner says abruptly "she is eating her lunch." While I was genuinely glad she is eating, we had an appointment at 2:30, my 4 year-old has now waited for almost a half an hour and we have somewhere to be by 4. The owner rebutted that my daughter will be done before me anyway so what's the difference. This comment did not make much sense because she needs time to dry her nails, while I do not (I was getting gel) so the time we both complete our nails is not of equal standing. Also, how long do you expect a preschooler to wait this long past her appointment time and still remain still for the mani/pedi? She's a toddler! Fast forward to the completed process and the reason for my review: My daughter absolutely loved her nails and I loved mine. We were both happy customers. We finished at the same exact time, but now my daughter needed time to dry. This was really not a problem. We had just enough time to make our 4pm and I was glad the nail technician hopefully ate her lunch. I don't want anyone going hungry! I ask the cost of the nails to pay and I gladly tip each technician over 20percent as usual. I join my little girl where she is patiently drying her nails. At this time, my nail technician approaches me and states I need to pay $5 more for my daughter as she used a few colors, not just one. I said, "huh? I purposely replaced the $4 nail polish as to not spend that additional money AND consulted w the owner to avoid additional charges, so why would someone not tell me that more than one nail polish costs $5 AFTER I already paid?" I tried to speak with the woman who I heard direct Gabby towards me to collect the money, but she completely ignored me. We tried to get the owner, Tony's, attention but he was blow drying hair. At this point, I see my daughter begin to get a little anxious and I just say, "please have a manager discuss this with me and I will be happy to talk it out." No one came up to me, my daughter's nails dried and we began to exit and cheerfully thank everyone and bid them farewell. I figured they decided not to pursue it. As we exit, I hear the woman yell to the technician, "go get the 5 dollars from her!!!" I say to the owner who followed me outside that the $5 charge AFTER I already paid makes zero sense. I had already paid what was told to me, he knows I was avoiding the $4 charge so why would I pay an extra $5 for more than one color for a 4 year old who waited 30 mins past her appt time in a scarce salon? He responded, "over 5 nail polishes is 5 dollars." That was music to my ears because my daughter did not use over 5 nail polishes. I told him, "my daughter didn't use over 5 nail polishes," which is the truth. He responded, "well it takes a lot of time to open more than one polish." I said, "my daughter took practically no time at all and you had her wait for almost 30 mins to begin her appointment. " He continues to argue with me and tell me how time consuming multiple nail polishes are... this is ridiculous. NO ONE was waiting for an appointment, my daughter waited for 30 mins, NO ONE told us about the additional charge and we had already paid and provided the tip! My daughter was getting nervous about this exchange. He "dismissed' us and we left on a sour note. It's really not a way to treat a long-time , generous customer and a toddler... read more

I have not been thrilled with the nail salons I've tried recently; until today. I had an appointment for 5:00 and even though I was early, I was seen right away. The salon is spotless. There isn't dust collecting anywhere at the nail stations or drying stations. They have sterilization machines and they actually use them. I had a nexgen powder manicure and a pedicure. The same person, Gabi, did both. The pedicure was very relaxing and she picked a color for me to match my nails. After doing my pedicure, Gabi took the tools she used on my feet and put them right into the sterilizer. She proceeded to take out fresh tools to do my hands. She was quiet, and attentive to her work. I'm very pleased with both my manicure and pedicure and I will certainly be back. read more

Tony was very patient and talented. He was honest with the entire process. The cost overall was also very affordable. He is very professional and clear. The results were amazing. I was in for bleaching, hair color/hair cut. read more

I first came here after hearing from a friend that they do the powder gel manicures very well here. I came for the first time about 6 months ago and had such a good experience. CU Beauty is less expensive (only $35) and does the powder gel manicure better than my previous salon. They have a lot of colors to choose from and great customer service. I usually make an appointment since my mom, sister and I all come together, but I do not think you need one. The best part is how clean the salon is. This is something that bothers me at other salons so it is comforting to feel sanitary when coming here. read more

I just called for a wash and blow out I asked them how much they said 35. I said let me think about it and he said 35 is not expensive if you don't like the price then bye. Wow! There is nothing worse than a business that is rude and cocky. OK so maybe you don't need me as a customer but you don't need to be nasty. read more

I am incredibly happy with the way my hair turned out. my hair was a complete mess before Tony worked on it. he could tell that I was unhappy with how my previous ombré came out, and I was ready to make it look less crazy. He knew exactly what I wanted and worked his magic. I left the salon happy and confident, I will definitely come back to get a haircut and my nails done. even my family and friends plan to come with me. thank you Tony! read more

CU Beauty Center - before & after. thank you Tony! - Nail Salons Near Me - New City, New York

This place was amazing! I went here with 4 friends, and we got gel manicures - only $20! ($25 for french) The place was so clean, and the staff was friendly. Def coming back! :) read more

My Daughter just went there for a mani/pedi. She used a $40 gift card. Her friends used a credit card to buy the gift card. When she paid, they added $7 to her bill, saying it was the fee for the credit card. She said that she's not using a credit card. In his records, he keeps track of how credit cards are purchased and you have to pay the credit card rate since your friends used a credit card to buy the gift card. That is wrong on so many levels. I will never go there again. Myself and my two daughters have given them so much business. Never again! They are crooks! read more

I've been going here for years. Consistently good manicures and pedicures and always a clean salon. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I recommend this nail salon to my friends and they are have told me how happy they are with the service. read more

Tony did Amwork on my hair!! It was super damaged before so it needed a BIG chop and he did excellent! Styled it perfectly as well. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

After my friend told me I realized I needed a real stylist to cut my hair. So I did some research and finally decided to get my hair cut at CU Beauty Center. Tony is a very professional hair dresser.He explained a lot of my hair questions and told me how to protect it. He did a fantabulous job cutting my hair. My hair is stubbornly straight and unbeleivably thick, and it feels awful in the summer it would be like if a normal person walked around all day in summer heat wearing a thick wool hat, it just doesn't breath, now I can actually feel the wind blow through my hair. After hair cut, I also did nail. I couldn't believed my nail can make it like this kind of pretty.By the way, the price very cheap,they also have discount for new customers, I recommend CU Beauty Center for everyone. read more

While working in New City, I wandered into this gem. Great deal on a mani/pedi and a great, clean atmosphere.

I came to this nail salon after positive reviews on yelp and I am sure glad I did. I got a gel French manicure and a French pedicure. I was very impressed at the attention to detail and cleanliness of the salon. The pedicure was good and everything was clean. Nothing was rushed, good massages and hot towels. The gel manicure by Rosa was great! She took such care to be sure the width of the French mani was exactly what I wanted which was so cute. What was really impressive was while my nails were drying, she came around the table to give me a shoulder massage. I was very surprised by that, as in other salons they often take that time to write the receipt instead. On top of all that, not too expensive at all. read more

About a month ago I came here for my nails and left a happy customer. Later on I came by to do my hair with Tony. He's sweet, talented and professional. I really liked my hair. Will be coming back for both hair and nails. read more

Tony has been my hair dresser for the past 7 years and he is wonderful I would not change him for anybody else. He is a perfectionist and gieves you exactly what you ask for. Definetly recommend his salon to everyone who wants top notch at a very reasonable price. read more

Beyond disappointed in my first trip to CU beauty. The lady doing my gel manicure seemed to not care and proceeded to constantly get polish on my skin and cuticle. She then told me that my nails were oily and said this must be my first time receiving gel(it is not). I am upset with the way my manicure turned out, would have just done it myself if I knew polish would be left everywhere. read more

My new go to salon. Pretty much everything is done here neatly and super clean! Salon is both a nail and hair salon so it is pretty convenient to have two in one. Deff recommend coming here but make appointments on the weekends and friday because it does get busy at times. Prices are fair as well. read more

I didn't have a lot of time so I just went hoping they would take walk ins. Only waited a couple of minutes. Got a French acrylic set with gel, and they came out great. She gave me a massage while my nails were drying. Overall excellent service! read more

Can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews! Really clean and the employees are so friendly. Kate did my French gel manicure and they came out great. You also can't beat the price - $25! Definitely coming back here. read more

CU Beauty Center - French gel mani done by Kate - Nail Salons Near Me - New City, New York

I've never written a review for anything before, but I felt like I had to after getting my haircut here. I've been looking for a salon for years. I haven't found anyone who has taken the time to do a real consultation about how I should cut my hair and how I should be taking care of my hair. Tony was awesome! He took his time and actually went back to fix any hair that needed more cutting. I finally found someone who I will recommend and go back to. Also, getting my hair washed there was great. I got a nice, relaxing head massage and then she gave me a neck/ upper back massage when I was in the chair before the haircut started. read more

Listen......if you have not had a wash & blow out by them.....you are SERIOUSLY missing out. I went on a whim because they are next door to my kids' karate dojo and didn't want to wait around for the next class---so....I mozied over and they really made me feel so comfortable and welcome. The 10 min neck massage before the actual wash and scalp massage is a bonus to go with the treat of having your head rubbed and cleaned. It feels fantastic---and then you get your hair styled by someone who really knows what he's doing---I'm a huge Tony fan now---he's very meticulous and knows the way your hair grows and then compliments the shape of your face----he's a true professional. This is an AMAZING experience---so I shared it with a girlfriend and treated her for her birthday & now she's hooked as well. All this for an amazing price of 20 bucks~!!! You can't beat that with a stick----you can't even get a massage for $20 anywhere these days. His prices are beyond reasonable for the quality of work you're getting---Big City experience with small town prices---I love that...& I have had my hair done in Los Angeles, NYC and other major markets where your credit card takes a big hit. Promise....you will love it and you will be back..... read more

I started going to Tony on a recommendation from my niece. Her boyfriend and all of his friends as well as my son and stepson go to him. I have very curly hair and I have tried a lot of salons in the area. Tony did the most amazing job I couldn't believe it, it is straight and shiny and curled on the ends. I get multiple compliments on it and the blowout lasts for days! Even the way they wash your hair is amazing, they lay you down flat so there is no stress on your neck, you could fall asleep it's so comfortable! I have gone back every week now and even had a single process done and that also came out great! If your'e looking for a new hair salon give Tony a try, you will love him! read more

The absolute worst customer service I have experienced in a very long time! I walk in and no one even looks up to acknowledge me despite the fact that the shop was silent. I walk up to the only man styling someones hair and ask him for a Gel manicure. "Go sit Down" he says. Already feeling awkward I sit and after 10 minutes he walks over to tell me the cost for everything including an additional $5 soak off fee. I clearly hear him tell the young lady next to me an entirely different price for the same gel manicure service. I asked him why the difference in price and he tells me "because this is not her first time here". I ask him if he is serious and he proceeds to tell me that next "price will be better". Save yourself the headache and money...Don't waste your time here! read more

This place is AMAZING. Tony is a great stylist and the entire staff is very attentive. When I walked in I was immediately sat in a styling chair and Tony assessed my hair and we talked about what kind of cut I wanted/what would be best for my hair. After that I was given an AMAZING shoulder, neck and head massage by Kate. For the shampoo, I've never had anything like it - sitting up in the chair, she used an Aloe based foaming shampoo and worked it through my hair giving my head a full massage in the process. I'd estimate the shampoo/rinse/massage lasted about 40 minutes. There was a short wait while Tony was working with another customer and in that time I was offered water, candy and magazines. I used that time to watch Tony work on another customer. He is very meticulous and precise and did the basic cut on wet hair, then blows it out and cuts the finishing layers and framing pieces when the hair is dry. For my cut, he explained everything and explained how the cut related to my hair type and current damage level (I'm a former bleacher). He did an amazing job. In the past few hours 3 people have asked me who cut my hair because it looks so amazing. I can't wait to return to the salon to get a pedicure. OH, and even better? The price. Less than $40 for my mid-length hair! read more

Excellent establishment! I went over with my mother to get a gel mani pedi, and could not be more satisfied with the service given to us! They were extremely attentive to whatever we needed and took their time. Could not be more pleased with the result! Definitely coming back read more

Love Tony. Understands his clients needs in regards to hair cut- he takes it very serious and takes his time to wash, cut and set.
