Dashing Diva - Nail Salons Near Me - Bayside, New York

I've been coming here for a few weeks now, I love the garden city location, but I moved to queens so this one is a little closer to me. I came to get my nails done today and I was treated so poorly, I ended up walking out. They were very busy and told me the wait for a gel manicure would be 10 minutes and to sit in a chair (in one of the technicians chairs because the waiting area was full). Fine. No problem- happy to wait. I understand I walked in on a Saturday and that I may have to wait. After a few minutes a technician approached me, very friendly and asked if I would mind sitting at a different chair, escorted me over since I was next and let me sit. I was there for maybe a minute when a different technician comes to me and tells me she needs the space for her client, and I just responded that another technician asked me to sit here. Before I finished the rest of my sentence she picked up my purse and moved me back to where I was. I told her to forget it and I was leaving. The party that was waiting defended me that she had no right to pick my things up and move me. I was happy to wait and I was happy to move, I was just confused because I was just moved there by someone else. Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed and I just think I'll make the trip out to garden city from now on. read more

Kim gave me a wonderful pedicure! She was attentive and kind, gentle but thorough, and even let me use the nail clippers and clear nail polish on my fingers while she worked. She used hot stones and aromatherapy oil which I loved. This place is clean and quiet (a big plus for me, since loud music of any kind is never very relaxing), and has a pretty atmosphere. Centrally located on bell Blvd enabling me to pop in (before dinner) and was welcomed promptly. A great place, and I'll be returning soon! read more

Kelly was so beyond sweet. We went to a bad nail salon before and my friend and I both didn't like our nails and she was so kind to fix it for us and was just so generous. I definitely will be returning because she was just so nice. On top of that, the salon was beautiful and seemed very clean. read more

The only nail salon that actually can magically make my manicures last! Not sure what it Is, they say they use a special 1 week polish but I have seen and used them at other places and by day 2 it's chipped away! Not sure if it's a different formula but it works for me and I am brutal with my nails. Gel manicures were just destroying my nail bed so happy to discover them here. To TOP it off the the salon is Super cute and it's a great place to come with a group of your friends and get pampered read more

Excellent !! My new go to place. Very clean and amazing service. My nails look great. Everyone was very friendly and not in a fake way. I will be coming back and highly recommend. read more

Dashing Diva - Nail Salons Near Me - Bayside, New York

I came here because of the high ratings but I ended up extremely disappointed. I came in for a pedicure and a gel manicure and almost walked out while she was doing my gel nails. It was that bad. I really wish I could receive a refund on the terrible job that was done. To start off: 1. The lady doing my nails was in a terrible mood the entire time. 2. Because of her terrible mood, she did a terrible job and I was in pain with her aggression. Let me tell you about my experience... Pedicure was okay. I asked her not to clean under my toe nails because last time it got infected but of course, she did it anyways. And let me tell you, it was painful. Blah blah blah done. Next, the gel nail... now that's a different story. She removed my gel from before, filed my nails and I asked if she could shorten it a little more and she filed it to my skin. Literally. Which was fine, I guess. Super short nails are in, right? Anyways, the thing that irritated me was that after she did all her filing, she didn't ask me to wash my hands or clean off the "dust", she immediately put the first clear coat on my nails. So my nails have these little bumps here and there. GREAT. And did I mention, she was cutting my cuticles on DRY skin? I mean, c'mon, how careless can you be. I know you're in a pissed mood but I'm paying alot of money for this, the least you can is try to make it painless... anyways, long story short, she didn't paint within the lines and she even filed my nails AFTER my gel nails were complete. Why? Because she did such a terrible job and she tried to file away the nail polish around my nails. Basically, this is the WORST job I have received. I don't recommend. Sorry. read more

See all

I love it here! Tess is an amazing nail technician. Kelly does great massages! You can't go wrong. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They have been taking covid guidelines very seriously and I feel very safe coming here read more

Place is very clean and during Covid they have good safety features in place. They are pricey but they have staff that provide a nice experience. read more

I went to Dashing Diva on May 19th. I had called in advance for a 6:30 pm appt and when I arrived they were very courteous. The owner, Elaine, made it a point to address clients by their first name, which shows great customer service. They are extremely hygienic. They sterilize and package each toolkit, which is refreshing. While getting my pedicure, the owner asked if I mind if they had someone also work on my manicure while they are doing my pedicure. I assume it was because they close at 7:30 and they wanted to finish timely. While apprehensive, I agreed because I too wanted it to be done timely. The person who did my manicure was Danielle. While Danielle was very sweet, she didn't seem capable of properly filing nails. In the beginning I noted that one nail broke and I wanted the others to be filed down slightly so it isn't as noticeable. After filing one nail she realized this would be time consuming and asked if she could cut them a little and then file and I said that would be fine if she only cuts it a little and cuts it round to keep the shape. I also told her the problem with cutting it is it will be cut square and she assured me that wouldn't be the case. In summation, she wasn't able to hold true to her promise. At one point I did ask if she was new because it seemed that she was struggling severely. The pedicurist, Pia, called the owner over and I explained the problem. The owner, Elaine, showed Danielle how to file and Danielle tried to say let someone else finish but Elaine insisted that she finish. Danielle continued to struggle to file my nails in a round shape and by this time, I lost my entire nail length and my nails were now even to the broken nail. At one point, I began filing my own nails since my left hand didn't match with my right. Danielle did paint my nails neatly but the whole ordeal was exhausting. Pia did a good job on my pedicure, however I couldn't truly evaluate her since I was so preoccupied with Danielle. Despite Danielles lack of competence, I still tipped because I am not sure it was entirely her fault. More so it could be due to lack of training. When leaving the owner did apologize and I showed her again how some of my nails were square and some were round. She didn't offer any type of percentage off for a failed manicure or anything to show she was truly empathetic to the situation. I can't help but think that if they were not close to closing that my manicure would have been more successful. For a first time customer, I would say I was disappointed in my experience. I have given them 3 stars solely because of hygiene and Pia. I do not see myself going back in the foreseeable future. Update: I am changing my review to 2 stars since my pedicure only lasted one week and my manicure lasted 4 days. I brought my own polish, which was Essie Gel Couture. With that polish, I normally get 2 weeks for my toes and 10 days for my hands. I will not be going back to Dashing Diva and I regret going in the first place. My friend who went had a better experience with Ivy and she went in the morning, therefore I suggest if anyone wants to try them, go in the morning and request Ivy. read more

So Happy I decided to try Dashing Diva! The salon is immaculate, they're following all the necessary safety protocols, and the best part--the staff is truly warm and super accommodating. As a first-time client I was a bit nervous but I was greeted by Sunny who was super sweet and then I met Kelly who...let's just say by the end of the appointment, we behaved as if we were lifelong friends! Both Kelly and Sunny worked on my hands and feet, respectively--and they both did a Wonderful job! And Sunny also gave me a complementary mini shoulder/back massage which felt sooo good!! I Loved how gentle and thorough they were and understanding of my particular needs, IE--I have super sensitive cuticles on my hands so Kelly took note and was really gentle and it was much appreciated. My nails are Beautiful and I've gotten nothing but complements since leaving the salon. So Overall, I highly recommend!! Thank You All and I will see you soon!! --Lily read more

I live in bayside and decided to try this salon after driving past it a few times bc it's so pretty. Well I won't be going back to my old nail salon, my pedicure was so relaxing and the girls there are great. They aren't obnoxious and loud like at some of the other salons in the area and the spa pedicure with hot stones was fantastic. Didn't have time to get a fill in but I will definitely be back for one next week. read more

Always clean and good job. Worth the extra price. Wax is done well too and not too hot read more

Quality service that is worth the $$. Definitely not inexpensive but it is worth it. Pedicure area is comfortable, gel manicures are well done and service is always friendly. Entire place is very clean. Good selection of polish colors and they will usually give you a complimentary few minute massage after getting your manicure. read more

My hands and nails always look perfect for weeks when I get them done here. I live Long Island but decided to try it here because I come to Bayside for my lashes. I'm so glad I found this place. It's totally worth it. It does take two hours for my gel spa pedicure and fell fill in, but so worth it. My cuticles are healthy and saved for weeks! read more

Walked in to get a manicure after reading the many good reviews on yelp. First off The lady who did my manicure was rushing to get my gel polish off she filed my nails way too much that it hurt. On top of that she didn't clean my cuticles at all. The tools that they were using/stored in did not look clean what so ever! The over all finished nails were done very sloppy and I had bubbles/bumps in my polish, it was very uneven and it just looked terrible! For being charged 5 dollars on top of everything to take my gel polish off,17 dollars later I expected to at least have a decent job. Defiantly won't be comming back. read more

So I've been coming here for a few years and I have thought they have been so nice and great, until today. I went to get a basic pedicure with no polish or buffing. They had the nerve to charge me $37!!!!! Fine, I understand they charged me $10 more for the callous remover (that the woman had no idea how to use!) but, $26 for a pedicure with nothing else. They didn't give the oil they usually do or the massage with cream. She put on the smallest amount of cream rubbed it in for 2 seconds and then told me to move my feet so she could start cleaning. As I was putting my shoes on I stopped to look at my feet and all the cuticles she left behind she was like oh, let me take care of that. Like what the heck was she doing in the first place!!!!! Very disappointed. I don't think I will ever go back for the mere fact of how much they charged for nothing. Covid or not, that's just not right. I didn't use half of their items, such as polish, air dryers, water for the second washing before polishing, nail polish remover, the oils, the base and top coats etc. So how can they justify that price! Such a shame, I really liked the place. read more

I was going here for months when they first opened. They were okay nothing great. I thought it was because they had just opened. The people kept changing all the time every time someone new started the manicure got worse. I finally stopped going because they cut the cuticle under my nail the part attached to the finger, on all ten fingers. Under my nails bled for a week read more

Best place for a gel Manicure, it last me gheee weeks. They have great variety of colors and brands. Very clean and friendly!

Nice clean place. It was a nice change from the nail places closer to where I live. They were super friendly. I got a regular manicure and got a paraffin dip for free with my manicure. Felt great! My only complaint was they were pushy, trying to sell me a gel manicure and pedicure, even though I kept saying "no". I think they are pricey, but once in awhile for a more spa like experience works for me! read more

I was hesitant to try this place as I've been a regular at another nail salon in the area for almost 5 years, but based on my mother's recommendation and overlapping appointments at my regular nail salon, I decided to try them out. I walked in and asked for a pedicure and they took me promptly. I had Sharon who was extremely accommodating and meticulous. She took her time and my pedicure turned out gorgeous! The place itself is extremely clean, inviting and the atmosphere is very relaxing. They don't have massage chairs or the Jets in the water, but honestly I really didn't miss it. I will for sure be back! read more

I have been looking for a good nail salon in Queens for the past two years and I have finally found one. This place is super clean and the staff is really nice. I am not good at choosing colors but they helped me find the best ones that suit the season. I am very happy with my nails and will be definitely going back! read more

Just a lovely experience. Clean, kind and so accessible. Thank you for the wonderful manicure.

Came in for a pedicure which was $25. It was the basic but included lavender oil massage. You get to choose from 4 different oils (lavender, mint, mango and etc.) It also included hot stones and hot oil. For $25 you end up getting many things you find it a spa pedicure. They are super friendly and talkative read more

I got gel extension done by Elaine. My hands and nails have never looked this good. She did an awesome job. I am going back for more. They are currently having 30% promo. Must go!!!! read more

All I need to say is $26 for a pedicure?!!!??? Seriously??? Yes, it was clean- but it's also a brand new salon. Stopped on a whim- will NEVER return. RIDICULOUSLY ABSURD PRICES read more

I'm in love with this place!!!! I got my gel manicure, pedicure, and eyebrows done. I had the assistant Ivy and she's the sweetest girl! She talked to me and was very funny. In love with the service!!!! My gel manicure was absolutey beautiful!! They have so many colors to choose from. They even do chrome nails. The gel manicure and pedicure came out beautifully. I went to Dashing Diva to wax my eyebrows for the first time. Ivy helped me out and when she did it, it didn't hurt at all! I was shocked. I'm planning to go to Dashing Diva whenever I'm free :) read more

I have been a customer at this nail salon for almost a year. They must have recently changed owners, as when I went last week they told me Elaine (the previous manager who was awesome!) was "on vacation" and they wouldn't allow me to book an appt. with her. When I showed up for my appointment, they kept me waiting for 20 minutes. The new staff is rude and unpleasant. I will not be going back. read more

Booked a party for 9 yr old, 13 girls to come on a day off from school. Called and also came in person to confirm pricing of $8 for "junior manicure". Day of the party each girl received a 4-5 min quick treatment of file and polish only. The owner refused to honor the price quoted and charged me $10 for each girl, which is disgraceful. I did tip the techs, but would've given a big fat tip for a good experience. They don't honor their quotes or care about repeat business. They gave my daughter a certificate for a free manicure. Too angry to return. read more

I never write reviews but this location is overrated and they do not deliver quality for what they are charging on bell blvd. I requested for a good technician when I made my appointment & came out extremely unsatisfied. read more

This place is fantastic! I was tired of the old grungy nail salons on Bell where you're always rushed and the women are never friendly. This place is immaculate and they do an above average job. At Sweet Pea my nail polish would be chipping in a day or so, I am convinced they water theirs down to make them last longer. Here I used Zoya polish and my manicure lasted two weeks which is unheard of. I am a huge fan of this place! read more

Randomly picked this nail salon to go to in a bind. The staff was so friendly and I got debatably the best gel manicure I've ever gotten. Prices are similar to most salons. (Gel $25 + tax) I will definitely go back! read more
