Wrinkled and now cracking :)

I rarely leave negative reviews but the service this nail salon provided was just not good. I was a walk in and asked for a regular manicure to which the ladies replied "gel?" And I said no "just regular" as my natural nails are quite healthy and long right now, and received a bit of an attitude in response when told to pick a color but whatever. Wasn't loving the color choices for regular polish ( a lot of it was clearly old) so I decided to get gel, again noticed a change in attitude from the woman who was about to do my nails and received a much more pleasant "follow me." Sat down, in terms of actual time spent prepping the nail all she did was file (I liked my length and didn't want them cut) and there is 0 consistency in the nail shape. There was no trimming of the cuticle or cleaning up the nail beds. I could see parts of my cuticle that had grown out and needed to be cut but she just left them even after me asking her to clean them up. The color options were limited, she showed me only one board to pick off of when they easily had about 100 other colors available. I chose a nice green and as she applied it one of my thumbs was not curing right under the dryer/ light and was getting all wrinkled, she fixed the nail and assumed I had knocked it and kept manipulating my hand away from the sides of the dryer. Low and behold it dried that way again. And she noticed it but didn't fix it. Entire time I was there felt rushed, I spent maybe 30 mins in the chair from start to finish, as soon as she was done she immediately got up and went to work on someone's pedicure. It's now been 3 days and 4 of my nails look like crap. Polish is wrinkled, cracks forming, and cuticles are so overgrow. Would not recommend at all.

Fruity pedi with gel!

MICHAEL GAVE THE BEST MASSAGE I HAVE EVER VER EVER HAD! I'm here from Texas and very picky! The pedicure was first class and superb! I can't mention the massage enough though. I was butter! I wish i could take him back to Texas with me!

What my cousin wanted.

We came into town ready to get our nails done for a wedding. The man didn't listen to what we wanted and not only rushed us but was rude about it. I asked how long it would last. He just said it would last long..... ok, but how long? I'd like acrylic to change the color. I simply wanted the design. What I was saying is I wanted the design alone and do regular acrylic because I wanted a nude. He said no UV is good and acrylic wasn't. But I want acrylic. I was told , "it's your nails not mine. You don't have to be mean about it..." (which made me almost cry). Eventually I was fuming and just said yes to whatever. I was not mean I was just trying to explain what I wanted. And I was ready to pull up a translation app to help as well. He keep saying no UV is good, but I also don't want to get the most expensive thing because I'm also not the one paying for it or know about it. My mom did as when she paid he stood over her shoulder. She gave 15% but shouldn't have......Ms. Jenny and the ladies were nice don't get me wrong. There was just a language barrier. But that man in the front desk was rude, pushy, and obnoxious. We didn't say anything because we were upset and the ladies were trying so hard to make us feel comfortable. But honestly its still a 2/10. Would not recommend.

So happy with my nails. Everyone there was so welcoming and warm. Prices were great! This will definitely be my spot going forward.

My nails have never been this thin or damaged -Never going back

I've had my acrylics removed many times before at other salons and this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. The woman working with me shaved down my nails (after the acrylics were removed) so low that they hurt doing simple tasks like washing the dishes. I told her that I'd rather not get them shaved down so much and she looked at me extremely irritated and told me that is how she does it. When I complained about how damaged they were to the man in charge, he said my nails looked normal.

Sloppy gel work -- the edges of the nails were painted up until the skin so now the gel is going to peel off as it grows out

I asked for a gel manicure/regular pedicure. The pedicure was ok and I think the toe nail polish looks good. But unfortunately the salon does substandard gel manicures. Each of my nails are painted with little care to where the edges of my nails end and where my skin starts. Not only does it look extremely sloppy (like when you paint your nails as a child), but when this is done with gel, your nail polish starts to lift on the sides and peels off as your nails grow out. This is because the edges are painted onto SKIN and not the nail, where it is secure. In fact, it's the next day (less than 24 hours) and my pinky nail polish has already peeled. (see pictures). I am rating this manicure 1 star, because making sure what I described above doesn't happen is table stakes in the manicure business. If you can't get that down, then maybe this isn't your area of expertise. Also, I paid $75 in total for this (not including tip) which is INSANE for how shoddy the gel manicure is.

Happy first time visitor! I wanted a deep red short stiletto nail w a matte finish and that's what I got

So far I've had a color gel manicure and a 15 min chair massage here and I am in love!!!…read moreI was so concerned that moving to SoNo would disrupt my "personal service" regimen that took me almost 5 years to perfect in Stamford but instead I found this gem right next to my office building. Their landlord should take care of them a bit better because it was pretty cold and they needed to use heaters but otherwise I think the space is clean, the technicians talented and courteous and the prices are divine. I can't wait to have a pedicure tonight after work!

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel strongly that people should be warned before coming here…read more I booked an appointment for a regular gel manicure and still waited 45 minutes before being taken, despite arriving on time. Once I was finally seated, the experience only got worse. The nail technician completely damaged my natural nails. She aggressively used the electric file and dug into my nails, creating deep ridges in the nail beds. She also filed the sides down so narrowly that each nail ended up jagged, uneven, and poorly shaped. It honestly felt like she lacked basic experience. I immediately went to my regular nail salon to have the gel removed, and even then, gel is still embedded in the grooves that were carved into my nails from the over-filing. I've been told it will take around three months for the damage to fully grow out. When I expressed how upset I was about the condition of my nails, management refused a refund, saying they couldn't refund the manicure because the technician "took her time." Taking time does not excuse destroying someone's nails. I had to ensure management that I also tipped this nail tech before having them agree to refund me. This was my first and last visit. If you care about the health of your natural nails, avoid this place. The damage caused was traumatic and completely unacceptable.

This is by far one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. The workers were very nice. It…read morewas a clean environment. The tools were clean and Teresa, the girl who did my nails didn't push. This was a amazing experience. I really like the workers there, Teresa and Jessy and Dolly were my favorite, the masseuse Dolly was amazing and even taught me some spanish. Jessy did my hair even thought I didn't ask. Now I have braids in my hair and i absolutely love this place. this will 100% my go to place for nails. Totally worth the 30 minute wait and i recommend going for any age. -Caitlyn

Worse Mani / Pedi Ever! Stay away from this place. The picture on their yelp reviews are accurate…read more Was in a rush to get to the city. Came in to have my nail gelled before a wedding reception. Called ahead and asked if they can do mani pedi at the same time - they said yes, so I came. Turn out that they could not do it at the same time. This appt went over 2 hours and I missed my other scheduled appt (one hour later). The result was awful! 2 days later they started just falling off and now we are 7 days later and I have only 3.5 nails left. I asked for French and the gel color was not the nice pale pink but rather candy pink and the french line was not the same to all fingers. Thin / Thick, round / triangle - even though I asked to change the color right away - they did not. The result was so bad! Stay away.
