Cut on my toe
Teresa K.

UPDATE: My toe is infected. It's red & there is pus coming out of the wound. Now I need to seek medical attention. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED - STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS SALON! I will be reporting this to the NYS Board of Health. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've walked by this nail salon dozens of times, but decided to finally give it a try today for a pedicure. Bad decision. The place wasn't crowded for a Friday afternoon and they took me immediately as a walk-in. I picked my color and sat in the pedicure chair. Looking around the place was a bit rundown and not the cleanest. There are chips in the paint on the walls and supplies just seem thrown around. There was some dust on the nail polish racks. The lady doing my pedicure told me to put my feet in the water. She was a bit rude, barking orders at me. It was scalding hot! I immediately took my feet out and told her it was too hot. She insisted I put my feet back in. I did and immediately took them out again and started yelling that the water was burning me. She rolled her eyes & finally adjusted the water, but she was obviously annoyed with me & made it freezing cold. I was already over the whole experience and didn't say anything. Then she pulled out a filthy, used nail file to file my toenails. I pulled my foot away and asked her to use a new file. She rolled her eyes at me again & took out a new file. She pulled out the cuticle nippers and I told her my skin is very sensitive. She proceeded to cut my second toe on the left foot. I felt the cut & jumped, but she didn't say anything and put pressure on the cut to try to stop the bleeding. She kept trying to cover the toe so I wouldn't see it, then dabbed the blood with a paper towel several times. She never acknowledged the cut or apologized for it. Then she applied the nail polish, which upon closer inspection is uneven and doesn't fully cover the sides of my nails. Complete botch job. I sat to dry for ten minutes, paid, and left. I will NEVER return to this salon. Their sanitation practices are nonexistent and they are rude. I'm just hoping I don't end up with an infection from the cut.

It was excellent live my nail I would recommend it to others. I am going to go back.I would go back to them

Nails looked navy blue instead of black after 2 days
Paula N.

I decided to try my luck, although reviews were mixed. I wish I listened to the reviews that stated the service was unsatisfied. I got tips with SNS powder in black with coffin shape. Something simple. Overall service was decent and the price was right. I loved my set when I left, but after 2 days the polish started to peel. I'm not sure how because it's gel, but I am pissed. I paid $50 plus a tip for subpar nails. I wouldn't recommend. The 2 stars are for the price and how my nails looked when they were done

The second toe after the thin is crooked.

I should've not come back here! I went back this time giving it a second chance and it looks worse now (appearance and work style). The ladies had a terrible attitude when checking in. The lady doing my pedicure rushed the cleaning of the toes and REUSED all the materials. She rinsed the pumice with the same water I soaked my feet in and threw it back into her toolbox. The toolbox is incredibly dirty. The cost of new filers costs almost nothing but here the ladies reuse the filers. The person also did not clip my toenails straight see images. I took my sister for acrylics and the lady who worked on her set was charging me extra money for a top shiny coat. Be aware that they can be sneaky, I clarified with someone else at the place and they told me there's no charge for a top coat. This isn't the best place in Astoria and not worth the $60 for this basic stuff.

I got these done last Friday (it's now Tuesday). Look at the cuticle- not done well at all
Sabrina F.

Was in Astoria and I figured I would kill time before my bible study class and get my nails done. I got the SDS powder gel manicure which is $35 ($5 more than my usual place in Glendale). The wait was short which was a first. I used to come here all the time when I lived in Woodside and I remember waiting 30-45 minutes with appointment and all. The manicure was quick, and I honestly did not like how my nails turned out. See the pic for yourself. I had a girl ask me if they were my nails or if they were nails that I pasted on. And that's exactly what is looks like because the polish is almost covering my finger. When these grow out a little more the cuticle part is going to look horrible. Next time I will contain my urge for a manicure in Astoria.

Ballerina nails.
Pema Y.

Service or end product was both amaaaaazing. They lasted over a month, so I had the chance to change the nail polish like three times too.

Ombré nails
Elly F.

I was recommended this place by a friend and figured I'd give it a try and got myself an acrylic set. I set an appointment and the ladies there stuck to it and were very friendly. They were able to recreate the look I wanted on my nails. I tend to wait at-least a week before reviewing any nail salon and see how the nails themselves hold up. I got them done Friday April 12th, 2019 & I love them and i should've asked the nail tech her name. However I will be returning.

Tips and gel
Yosselyn C.

Always satisfied! This is the only place I do my acrylic nails, they always come out the way I ask for. Highly recommend it!

I always go for the SNS powder manicure on natural nails and it does not disappoint. I can usually go 3 weeks before really needing a fresh manicure. I don't go to anyone specific because for the most part they all do a pretty great job. Prices are reasonable and service is good.

One hour of drying later, put on my sneakers and BAM
Bernadette T.

Please Go to a nail salon where the workers will be KIND to you! & will do a good job the first time, this is not it. I came here on 07/2/19 (my first time here)around 8 to get a pedicure, I waited about 25 mins for service, I brought my own sandals and everything, An hour after I did the pedicure, I decided to put my sneakers back on, When i take them off again, my right foot's big toe is completely scrunched up like a blanket, I was so sad. I have plans after work on 07/03/19, So therefore, I went on my lunch break where I had 30 minutes (from when I got there) My plan was to go, they fix the mistake, I allow it to dry until I have to go back to work and they can wrap it! Easy Fix, I was not upset. It was 12:55 pm, I get to the salon, I let the lady know sitting on the left chair facing in what happened, I let her know I am only on break and I ask how long it will be? She tells me, ok, get ur color, sit down, there almost done. I do exactly that, I would think they would show sympathy and act as if my time is also important, Once she finished her customer, She started snacking, talking to other customers, looking at paperwork. I approached her, very politely saying excuse me, I have been waiting 25 minutes now, I came just to fix my big toe. Her response was "I am not skipping everyone for you" Which was completley rude on its own. However, I replied with "I understand but I was already here, you already took my money, all I need is my big toe fixed, you told me "almost done" which give the impression of 5-10 min wait, not almost 30 minutes, had you been honest about your wait time, I would not have spent my entire break here, I would've left from the start, because u said they are almost done, I decided to wait, you need to be honest about the wait time. Which she proceeded to say," You should have just went to the person who did them then" (As if knew this was an option!Which would be skipping!!) I replied and told her "I didn't know I can do that, you did not give me an option" and she just shrugged, I proceeded to say all i needed her to do was be honest about the wait time so my time isnt wasted, She tells me I put on my shoes and messed it up to which i replied, I put my shoes on after over an hour, i have gotten penty of pedicures, it does not take an hr to dry, She says " Well, I dont know how many layers the lady put" Which i replied that that would not be my fault, As a customer, I paid my hardworking money for service that messed up after an hour and all i needed was for that one toe to be fixed, she tells me she will do it now, as soon as she sees me shes like where r ur sandals? Which I didnt have so shes starts saying well how are they supposed to dry, it's not going to dry , So i explained It is because I was under the impression that I can just have someone fix my one toe within 5-10 minutes (almost done) and that will leave me with 20-25 mins for drying and then she can wrap it, she replied saying no , now it's not enough time, come back later, like OBVIOUSLYYYYY now it isnt enough time, She was not empathetic, She was not kind, She did not make the situation better, Because of her I won't even dare attempt a different, more expensive service. I shouldn't have a second visit the very next day to begin with, yet I walked in with a perfectly good attitude, the lady who did my nails originally could have out 30 coats, she was still nicer! She ruined my mood completely. I paid my money, The reason I went during my break was because I have plans directly after work and I couldn't go back so for her to easily say "come back later" she really has no consideration for other people's times. Being that it was their error and a two minute fix, they should've been more than willing to fix this for me, instead they caused me even more of an inconvenience than I had to begin with, stuck here pissed off with my toe still messed up, looking like a blanket. This would've all been avoided if she just told me the truth about the wait time and I would've left to begin with, I'm pissed about the disrespect and lack of basic customer service skills

Jessie's work...amazing
Natalie T.

Let me preface this by saying I'm INCREDIBLY difficult to please. I've been to Harlem, Flushing, the LES, the UES, Brooklyn, Jersey...looking for a nail salon that does a good to above average job. Alas, I found Jessie at Dahlia---thank GOD!!! She's trendy & had her own nails done. I knew I was in good hands. The wait for her is usually longer, so call and make an appointment. I LOVE my nails!!! Jessie does acrylics mostly, if you don't need acrylics go to Coco. I LOVE her for my gel mani & my pedis. Now, the pedi, oh baby....$13 for a reg pedi, $25 for callus removal where they really go IN. This lady made my feet so freakin smooth I loved it. Great polish selection too. I don't need to hold conversations with my nail lady, that's why I have friends. Both of my techs were professional & didn't bother me with small talk which is MUCH appreciated. When you first walk in, you have to get a nail tech's attention and tell them what you want or you will sit there like an idiot and watch other people go ahead of you.

green and silver acrylics
Munaja M.

I'd definitely come back here. My acrylics turned out amazing and they lasted a while. The service isn't the best waited a good 15 minutes, but it's not too pricey. Think I pause $35?

Gel manicure ($25) lasts for almost 3 weeks! Love this place

My first wax experience here was not good. The technician was not at all empathetic to the pain I…read morewas experiencing and she basically rushed through my first ever Brazilian wax. I returned two days later to wax my legs and get a clean up of the hair left by the first tech. I was fortunate to get Daeja who was thorough, and she touched each area as soon as it was waxed, which helped to soothe the immediate pain. I quickly changed my next appointment from the first tech to Daeja. If you don't like walking barefoot on sketchy floors, I suggest bringing a pair of slippers when getting a leg wax. Also, I bought several of the recommended products and broke out so severely, I had to see a doctor who prescribed anti inflammatory meds. Check the ingredients before buying the products or do a patch test to ensure it agrees with your skin type. I look forward to my next wax with Daeja because I know she will be thorough and she is customer-friendly. I'm rating my second experience in this survey, not my first visit. If I rated my first visit with the other tech, I would have to rate it one star.

Now that I moved a few subway stops away, it takes me a bit longer to get to this location but it's still closer than Grand Central and plus with the Wax Pass offer, you get an extra free wax by going to this location for all of your waxes. I always sign up for the wax pass offer when it's available because you get 2-3 waxes free and it's an overall discount on the service as well. I've tried other wax places outside of EWC and prefer EWC. The quality and consistency is the best. Let me know if you'd like a referral! :o)

(LOOL i removed the background so i do not expose my messy kitchen). i am certain the technician is skilled and amazing at her job, so it could just be how my nails are -- or there could be a bunch of other reasons why this happened. my lesson of the day is to always trust the reviews on yelp!

Never coming here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. ** Update: Went back and the manager, Ava, came in to apologize and offered a full refund. I appreciate her sincerity and she took full accountability for her employee's actions.

However they insisted on cash or Venmo. I don't carry cash and my phone was dead (so no access to Venmo). HOWEVER they forced me to charge my phone with the salon charger so they can receive tip through Venmo. This was humiliating and not to mention entitled of the salon to assume that they earned a tip. They acted this way even though there were other customers in the salon watching all of this happen. After charging my phone for a min, they admitted that they can accept tip through card. The pedicure itself was fine but I am never going back here for the horrible customer service. Up until this point, the service was great and I was planning on making Kawaii Salon my main spot for manis and pedis. Ended up tipping $10 on $60 pedi.
