Don't know how I missed this place! It's been across my grandmas house that I used to commute from for 3 years and today was my first time going in. Although I'm no longer local to the area, I had time to kill and needed to get my nails done so I figured I'd give it a try. They were able to squeeze me in right away on a Saturday. It is sooo nice in here. Much nicer than a lot of the more expensive salons i find in the city. I only got a manicure but it was really relaxing with the background music. The girl I had, Tiffany looked really young but she did a great job. I had cut the top half of my nail off on accident while chopping vegetables and I was nervous a tech would just rush through it and file on the skin and not listen to me asking to go slow with that and not cut it. She was really good and was able to take her time to buff what was remaining of the nail out so although it's super short it still blends with the others. She even went back and added extra cuticle oil on to the exposed raw skin for that nail. They have an extensive selection for gel colors and are upfront about the varying costs. Great business model as well, with their loyalty cards and cash back rewards program incentivizing me to come back when in the area. read more

This place takes Spa Finder gift cards! I came here with my cousins and my 7 year old daughter for a girl's day with mani/pedi's. We had fun- this is a very nice nail salon with a good selection of nail colors and quality customer service. Staff are accommodating and friendly. Good selection of gel and regular nail colors. They thankfully have disposable flip flops, which I was grateful for since my daughter had left her sandals at home. I would definitely recommend this salon to anyone looking to get a mani/pedi at a competitive price. read more

Ambiance is a 5/5, however quality of work is 0/5. Attaching a picture of my cuticles. This is not a professional manicure. I've been to other nail salons in the neighborhood and thought to check this one out since I wasn't able to get a last minute appointment at my go-to nail salon. read more

Made an appointment with lily today. My nails fell apart just two days after my gel manicure last time. All the gel peeled off. Never had that happen. (It was with someone I haven't seen there and didn't seem experienced) today I got powder and am very happy with my results. Lily was meticulous on the shape and asked me if I like it. She understood my requests, shows experience and knowledge and is friendly! She also gave a great massage! Down a star today :( took my cousin there for a girls day. Her nails the girl forgot the top coat. My cousin didn't want a massage included but should have got some conditioning wrap or something in place of it. For me. My nails were crooked. The girl I got took twice as long and seemed new. I actually had to file my own nails to make them even. My massage was also not really a massage. It was more just putting lotion on. Sad. Otherwise my nails look good though. I'll give it another shot but I will be requesting my technician. read more

I wish i could give less stars.... I used to come here all the time for a waxing and manicure and never really had any major problems, since then I found someone who does nails out of her home and haven't gone anywhere really for a wax but figured why not treat myself and get a waxing.... I made an appointment which they put in the book wrong to start. I wanted eyebrows and full leg and they had it in for just the brows (not the problem) I went in the room and was told to tell the woman if the was was too hot. The whole process seemed rushed, i told her twice it was too hot and just gave up after that as well as the fact that I left with huge patches of hair still on my legs as well as huge areas of wax left all over my legs. I went home to find bruising all over my legs from the woman pushing so hard as well as the was being so hot. I called to complain and was initially told if i come back they can refund me or give me a gift card, to where i told them i live far and would like the refund done over the phone. Got a call back a few minutes later to be told the only thing they can do i give me a gift-card and put it aside for me..... what is a gift card going to do if i don't come here anymore nothing? She again told she would call me back so I again over 30 minutes for a call back for them to tell me a giftcard is the most they can do and that they could not have any supervisor call me to discuss what was going on. Mind you not once did anyone apologize in any way.... About 6 hours later my legs were covered in bruises that stung when even a blanket touched them, burns on my legs from the wax being to hot as well as burns around my eyebrows. read more

WARTS!!!!!!! I have been going for services for years to this location and this will be the very last time. I received a manicure and pedicure from a technician who will remain nameless because I do not wish to publicly embarrass her. While receiving my service she noticed I gained weight during the quarantine and did not stop to think before saying that I gained a tremendous amount of weight. I thought to myself "I'm paying to be here to be provided a service and I'm being insulted". I tried to overlook it thinking perhaps she mis spoke and did not communicate what she was trying to say. I then moved over to receive my manicure and mid service I noticed a growth on her index finger. Taking notice to this I then decided I was uncomfortable and due to NYS board of cosmetology/Appearance enhancement regulations to operator shall perform a service while he or she has a highly contagious infection. I then spoke up and said "what is that on your finger? That appears to be a wart and you should not be performing services until you have had treatment and or should be wearing gloves until the infection has cleared. The operator curled her finger under her hand so I could not see the wart. The service came to an abrupt ending and I was left shocked and disgusted. It has been several months and I began noticing a growth on my finger and dismissed it as a callus from my wedding band until I took a closer look under a light. Turns out it was a wart and I had to go to my dermatologist to have curettage (cut off) with liquid nitrogen treatment to have the wart that I caught from this operator removed and treated twice. I hope you find this information useful and that the operator has finally resolved her highly contagious viral warts treated and is no longer passing them on to patrons. They have officially lost a good customer and I will now be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Long story short- it's a great salon with friendly staff! Def check it out I saw this salon on Yelp a couple of times, but I never really tried it out. I went in for a powder color and extensions along with a pedicure. Dana did my pedicure and she was wonderful! We were engaging in a conversation the entire time, which was refreshing because majority of the salons I've been to, the technicians talk amongst themselves. Dana took her time with my pedicure, instead of rushing, and did a great job on my nails! May was my technician for my powder color extensions. Initially I wasn't sure if I would be happy with my nails because I saw one was glued on crooked and I was afraid to say anything; when I pointed it out to May she happily changed the extension, along with three others. While doing my nails, she explained to me what she was exactly doing which was great! The salon closes at 6, but May was there until 6:30 making sure my nails were exactly how I wanted, which I appreciate so much!! Yelp gives you a 20% coupon if you check in, however my phone died but Steven still offered me the coupon- such great staff and so kind!! read more

As soon as I walked in I saw that the salon reimbursed for parking! With parking being a bit tricky in the area and a lot of it being metered I thought that was spectacular! Going on a Friday late morning I didn't expect much of a wait and there wasn't at all but I was surprised to see how many people were in the salon. I also was surprised at how reasonable the prices were. For such a nice place I thought it would be a bit pricier, but a regular pedicure and gel manicure was $50 which I consider average. My nail technician was great and paid attention to detail even given me a third coat on my nail color because it was so light. They also had a great variety of colors and services. And a good amount of pedicure chairs and nail stations where they can accommodate a decent amount of people. This place was also very clean. Tools came straight from plastic sterile bags and a woman was constantly going around making sure everything was straightened up. I would definitely go back and try them again. read more

Had a bad experience here and wrote a review about it. The owner of the salon reached out to me, validated my concerns, and asked me to give them a second chance. I did, and the results were great. Got a gel manicure, a 10 min massage, and a pedicure and although the first time I had an issue, I gave them a second chance since the owner was so apologetic, and it was great. May be my new go-to salon. Note: there are cuts in my cuticles, that's from me peeling them! Not the manicure! read more

Finally found a really great salon near my house! I'm normally a floater when it comes to salons, I never really commit to one. As soon as I walked in, the front desk was so nice and accommodating. Usually, I am very picky when it comes to nail jobs but I actually fell in love with this job! Although I was expressing concerns with my nail shape being uneven, May was so kind and took her time with my nails and made sure I liked the shape of every nail before proceeding. Also, they have a cash back rewards program which is cool because I've never encountered such program with a nail salon before. I will be returning. Hopefully this will be my go-to salon. read more

I've been experiencing extreme stress and anxiety for the past two weeks, I finally decided it was time to treat myself. Of course, from the stress, my skin wasn't great and I was extremely tense. I got the Swedish massage and the express facial. My masseuse did both a massage and facial and she was absolutely incredible. I walked away feeling a lot more relaxed and it's almost like the stress just washed away! My skin feels beautiful and smooth 5 stars! Update I got my nails done with tips and pedicure, I was super nervous about those considering the bad reviews. Tina was my technician and she did an incredible job. Her attention to detail is incredible!!! read more

The appearance of this salon at first glance is clean, tranquil, a little bit boujee like you're really about to get pampered but that isn't the entirety of it. I went in today in hopes of finding a new nail salon since I'm in to process of moving but was sadly mistaken. The service was so rushed and not even close to average customer service... it was honestly less than. The lady I had, to her credit, was honest when she said she couldn't do my initial design request. This I can understand. (i attached a photo) So I asked for a three regular solid nails and two french nails... simple, right? Nope. She didn't clean the cuticle or shape them, the nails are uneven lengths on both hands, there's bubbling and uneven color coat, left over nail polish from my previous set, and she was so passive aggressive whenever asked if she could fix her mistakes. I gave up half way because honestly her issues are not my problem. She needs to sort out why shes so unhappy with doing her job and leave that at home. She didn't talk to me the entire session about what I wanted aside from the initial, "what color/shape/length?" at the beginning. All in all, will not return and would not recommend to anyone who cares about how they spend their hard earned money and time. You don't always get what you give in this situation. I typically tip my girls at my old salon so well (upwards of $20+) because I appreciate what they do and know how important tips can be. Today I almost didn't tip at all, she got $5 because I felt bad. I was made to feel bad for her bad customer service and general nail salon skills. Hopefully this will never happen again. read more

So I've been slacking on my Yelpin' as of late...partially because I've been moving! So now that I'm relatively new to the neighborhood of Farmingdale, I turned to my yelp community to help me find a place to go to for my nails. And this place came up and had pretty good reviews. I parked my car right in front and didn't know where I was supposed to pay for parking, the friendly woman at the door explained where to pay and also told me they would validate the parking, without me even asking. Even though it's just a dollar to park for an hour, it's the principle of them doing that. They strive to make the experience as pleasant and stress free as possible. So thank you for that. The next thing that caught my eye was the interior. It was so clean, beautifully decorated, and very spacious. I was really digging their interior! The windows all along the front let in ambient light, and the light music playing in the background really makes you feel calm. I got a green tea spa pedicure, and it was just what I needed. My nail tech rubbed my tired legs and feet down with all these exotic lotions, and scrubs, then wrapped my legs with hot towels and gave me a very soothing massage. I was super pleased with this experience; and also the 20% off for first time yelp check-ins is an added bonus! read more

I feel so bad giving a harsh review, but after the ton of great reviews I've seen I feel obligated to share my experience wasn't up to par. I asked if they could do a design on my nails and was told no designs. So I picked a pretty blue color instead. Then was given to another person, Lily, and was told she could do designs. Unfortunately she couldn't do the design I wanted despite telling me she could. I didn't want to make her feel bad at the time so I didn't say anything but looking it the design this past week has me realizing it's definitely subpar. The pedicure was great though- very relaxing and enjoyable. I was disappointed to be separated from my sister in law for the manicure though, instead of being able to relax and chat together as we planned. read more

At first I went in and was happy with the appearance of this place. Send Then the sales pitch started coming. Add this & that. It was my first visit & will be my last. They are extraordinarily pricey, Plus communication is very difficult since English is their second language. Two days later I noticed swelling on my finger and I now have an infection. This place has the appearance of cleanliness but obviously it's not. I've had manicures and pedicures all of my life and I have never ever had an infection before going here. BEWARE that's all I can say read more

Love this place! They have a cash back rewards system. Every visit you earn cash back and you can let it add up and use it to what ever you please. Definitely a game changer with nail salons. Maybe other places include it, but it was new to me. Parking may be tricky, so I'd recommend parking a block over and taking a nice stroll in the village. read more

Fantastic Day Spa - Yes, my boyfriend loves his gel manicure. Lol - Day Spas Near Me - Farmingdale, New York

I visited for the first time yesterday with my mom. While she enjoyed her treatment, I honestly did not enjoy mine. I was sat down immediately but then was pressured to spend $45 on a spa package when all I asked for was a basic pedicure and was told that they didn't have that option. My nail technician barely talked to me or asked me for my preferences throughout my time there. She was rushing the entire massage and didn't actually massage my legs, instead just spread oil all over my legs over and over for 15 mins. I admit that we did come close to the time that they were closing. I may want to try another spa in the area before coming back to this one. read more

When I first came here for facial, they didn't do exactly what I wanted, but I had a wonderful relaxing time. I wrote a review on Yelp that I wasn't fully satisfied and after received a phone call saying I can come over and they will try to do their best to meet my expectations no charge ,and they did! They did a very nice and deep facial removing all blackheads and dead skin. I'm glad that I gave them a second chance and received what I wanted. It's very professional of you, guys! Thanks! read more

Well what can I say? It was fantastic! The atmosphere was just so tranquil and so relaxing! I had gone in for a dip powder mani.

So a couple months back I missed my train, and it was cold out so I wandered around the area seeing where I could warm up until the next scheduled train . That is when I discovered this spa. This spa is beautiful. It just may be the most beautiful spot I've ever went to for a pedicure. It's very nice and relaxing. The only thing I personally think is silly about it, is the up-charge for certain polish brands (I.e. Essie +6). They do a nice job with the pedicures. read more

This place is great for manicures... but I just went on Saturday and got the most PAINFUL TOE INFECTION after a pedicure. They don't use new tools, and even if they say they "sanitize" them, they clearly don't. My right big toe hurts SO bad, and the nail beds on my entire left foot are so painful when I walk. I tried to go on the treadmill and couldn't last 5 minutes. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for antibiotics. Get a manicure here, but DON'T GET A PEDICURE!!!! read more

Great service. They have a first time 20% off after check-in for first time customers. I highly recommend it if it's your first time going. I asked for the french gel manicure. I rather have a pink nail rather than clear. Seems like the color the nail technician picked was rather dry. And though I pointed it out to her, she said it would look better after two coats. It didn't. And I left a little disappointed with the end results. I didn't have time to change it or request for something else. So this is what I have to deal with for the next two weeks or so. The lady was super nice and talkative. So that was a plus. I was happy with the service but not happy with the nail polish. read more

So I've been scoping out the town of Farmingdale since I'm planning to move..& I found the best mani/pedi place in town. As soon as you walk in, instant ahhhhhhhh...complete zen...I noticed that it was very clean & everything was sterile (insert applause). Richard did my manicure, awesome job (he was meticulous) relaxing massage to finish the job..regular mani is $12 and pedi is $25. They have a great selection of colors, an ATM inside (very helpful). They also offer spa services (facials & massage). They have metered street parking, as well as parking in the lot across the street. There is no charge for parking in the lot across the street on weekends. There are cute little shops around town, if you want to take stroll. All in all, I love this place, I would highly recommend & I'm definitely going back. read more

Fantastic Day Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Farmingdale, New York

I initially chose Fantastic Day Spa because we literally lived upstairs at the time and the location was too convenient to pass on. We've since moved away but I still make the drive back. Partly because I'm a creature of habit and because they're super nice. I also like that the place is relatively new still and doesn't have that old nail salon with overpowering chemical smells. There are times where I have been asked to return at a later time for a walk-in so I would say if you really have your heart set on a particular time, etc. make the appointment. There's metered street parking right by them that accepts card and cash. It's up to 2 hours for $2 and Fantastic Day Spa will refund you the parking cost if you bring proof of it. I believe the nearby LIRR parking lot is free on the weekend as well. There's also a village parking lot that's free if you don't mind a short walk. That one's on S Front St closer to Main St. As for nail technicians, I haven't seen Richard in awhile but he was always good. Gel manicures with Jessie last over two weeks easily for me and I'm rough on my hands. She also does a great foot massage and back massage. I've brought my five year old daughter in to get her polish done as a treat several times. They're always very gentle with her, just file down her nails a little, then apply polish. They charge it as a polish change, which is a very affordable, fun treat for a little girl in my opinion. I've gotten two prenatal massages as well. They don't have the specialized massage table that has the cutout for the belly; however, the massage therapist was always very sweet and meticulous in making sure I was positioned properly and comfortably with pillows. I liked how you're ushered to another quiet room afterwards, are given snacks and water, and have even more time to just unwind if you desire. read more

So I went here today with my friends. The place is really nice but you have high exceptions for the way it looks. I payed 25$ for a pedicure. Which is fine. He didn't cut my nails, they are all shaped differently now. The paint is uneven and it's heavy on the cuticles. My friend got a 50$ pedicure and walked out with her feet peeling! She was offered a 10$ coupon. I thought my toes were great until i looked at them close. Won't be back. Waste of money. Don't do a pedicure if you can't even paint toes correctly. I could've just went to my local basic nail salon and got better. read more

Facts: $25 for gel mani, plus tip They compensate your parking on certain days / at certain times I suggest making appointments - they can be busy at random times and you may not always get the technician you want if you don't Pros: Very clean, and they always open metal products (cuticle nipper, nail clipper, etc) in front of you Pretty good selection of colors Richard! is very thorough and does an excellent job on my nails. Paints all the way to the cuticle and my nails never chip when he does them Love the mini-massage you get at the end of your mani Nail technicians who have not been great for me: Mindy - my (gel) nails chipped within 2 days .. luckily Richard fixed them for me Kiki - did my gel mani, technically, but left a huge piece of cuticle dangling from my finger (that I had to point out twice to get her to remove), did not buff the nail before painting, did not apply cuticle oil, and did not apply lotion to my hands when she was done, and did not shine my nails with alcohol. Steven - smells like cigarettes TBH, the main reason I come here is that it is super convenient for me, but if another place were to open up nearby it wouldn't take a ton for me to switch read more

This place was fantastic (pun intended)!! Came on a Friday afternoon with a large group and we had a very relaxing time with incredibly attentive nail technicians. Our mani/pedis came out perfect and I felt beyond comfortable. I'm one of those people who find it hard to relax anywhere but here I almost fell asleep while getting my mani/pedi! The place is spacious, bright, impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. Plus they let you choose your own perfume and lotion scents as part of your service. And parking fee is refunded! I highly recommend this place, prices are incredibly reasonable, service is stellar and the space is lovely. read more

I am the Director of Instruction for Golf at Bethpage Black. I have golfers elbow and tennis elbow in both arms with fraying ligaments in my forearms/biceps. Dana is amazing.

I have come to this place a few times for mani-pedis & they do a decent job. Their service and attention to detail is impeccable. They are super nice there & go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. I went in on a Saturday evening to get a massage and mani-pedi for my birthday. I saw on their website that they offer a $20 discount for a massage or facial and a free mani or pedi during your birthday month. I called to make a same day appointment & they were able to accommodate me.. and best of all, they were true to their word. I booked a 1 hour deep tissue massage and a mani-pedi. The massage was really great, she really worked through the knots in my shoulders and back. The place is super clean & relaxing and is much bigger than I realized with several massage rooms in the back. My deep tissue massage was $95 minus the $20 discount so $75. For the mani-pedi, you get to choose the scent of lotions/scrubs you want. Every pedicure chair has a back massager, which is typical for most places now. This place opened in the last year so their chairs are still in excellent shape. They always put a plastic bag in the pedicure tub so there's no cross contamination from the last person. They also use a new scrubber every time for your feet. Every pedi includes a 5 minute foot massage. I find that the men are better at this maybe because they're able to use more pressure. Every mani includes a quick hand massage and back massage. Because it is my birthday month, they discounted the price of the pedi. I thought for sure they would discount the price of the mani since it is cheaper, but they gave me the better discount so I only paid for the mani. As far as nail salons go, they are a little more expensive than others, but I don't mind paying a little bit extra for the quality of their customer service. read more

Called to make reservations for my sister in law and I together. We get our pedicures together which was fine. Sister in law went to start her gel manicure which was fine. When it was my turn they seated us on complete opposite sides of the salon ... with a whole row of available seats next to me. Horrible planning but ok. While I'm getting my gel the lady looks at my nail with a horrid look like somethings wrong. She looks at it multiple times and starts speaking to everyone else in a language I don't know. Turns out the light was not working for the gel. I did not have time to spare and asked her to just completely take it off ... she then pretended that she did not know English and could not do it. I let her finish and it was a mess. See attached photos. No massage or anything. Only $5 taken off of what I didn't want AT ALL. So disappointed. Looked nice but was a let down and will not be returning to this establishment. read more
