They do not explain the charges upfront and hit you with an enormous bill at the end. I was swindle out of 58.00 for a pedicure that should have cost 38.00. The guy doing the pedicure didn't inform me he was doing a gel manicure charging me 20.00 extra. I was livid and felt like a fool to be taken that way by them. read more

The store is clean and maintained extremely well. The staff are friendly and listen to your concerns. I have been coming here for almost 4 years...and have been satisfied with every visit. read more

Man, do I hate writing negative reviews, especially of immigrant owned businesses. HATE it. These people work hard for so many who are entitled and with expectations not in line with the reality of what they're paying for. But I have to leave this review not to hurt the salon or to help them (which I know this review won't do) but to warn potential customers. There is one good thing about this salon and it's the owner Rose. She does a great job and is, accordingly, almost always booked up. Everything else is kind of a disaster. The salon is so dirty, which they can hide to a degree by keeping the lighting pretty dim, they employ inexperienced and flighty technicians whose sloppy work you have to come back to have Rose redo, and they carry the cheapest products and polishes (no OPI) but charge the same. Despite all this, I was still willing to come back and trusted the one older male technician because, I thought, he was the owner or the owner's husband and would, plainly, do a better job. Usually when you have ownership, you do a better job. He upsold me on the UV gel manicure, did an objectively terrible job (the file down was uneven and so bulky on the sides it made the nail look crooked, something I pointed out to him during the procedure yet he didn't fix), and ruined my nails for 2 months while they had to completely grow out. I wish I had saved the photos. If you're looking for a quick pedicure, I'm sure you can do worse, and if you can get in with Rose you'll be good, but for everything else, go elsewhere. read more

I was visiting the area and wanted to get myself a treat so I called and luckily they had an appointment for me the next day. Even with a snow storm happening, they stayed open and honored my appointment. So happy with the end product and care that Rose and Lisa showed. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Came to Fishkill in December for a wedding. I had time to "kill" so I yelped a nail place. There was one 10 minutes away with better ratings, but they were booked. I called this place and they had an opening. It's a QUIET place in a non descriptive stripmall off Main Street and Cary. Although the writings on the wall are Chinese, it's Korean run nail place, and the staff speaks excellent English. I asked for a "basic" pedicure and saw a sign on the wall that said Spa Pedicure $40. I assume that was the price. Here's what I got: Cut down Sugar scrub Spritz rose water Hot towel wipe down Lotion massage Hot callous soak for my heels Nail clean up And I asked for no polish since I was wearing boots anyway. Price?? Not $40, but $25!! Wow!! A great deal! Upon exiting, I saw the price menu and a basic pedicure was $25. Plenty of parking, clean, and well lit. I was impressed with what a basic pedicure is, I would love to see what a $40 pedicure gives me. read more

Really good nail salon. They opened early enough for me to get in prior to my obligation later in the morning. I came here for acrylic removal and a manicure and I'm not disappointed. The gentleman took my nails off without the slightest bit of pain or without dremeling into my nails, he was also to keep the shape and length of my natural nails! The manicure came out good and the hand massage was amazing. Will recommend to others! read more

Made 2 apointments for gel pedicure's. Arrived on time, I had a great gel pedicure -$48.00. My daughter had a gel pedicure with the owner's wife. She rushed my duaghters pedicure becuase a customer came in that was a regular for a pedicure. We will not be back and have to find another nail place that will treat each customer the same. So our reveiw is half good/bad. read more

My nails were a bit shorter than usual so the man who did my nails recommended tips. The man who did my nails put the tips on quickly and went right to the dip powder. I was in and out in less than an hour (I head regular nail polish on when I went to the salon so taking off my polish was quick). I'm only giving 4 stars because there are some bumpy parts on almost all my nails that didn't get shaved down evenly. read more

Fishkill Nail - Gel dip powder - color 90 - Nail Salons Near Me - Fishkill, New York

I went here on Friday, and it is now Tuesday. I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. By Saturday my gel manicure was peeling off of my nails. Because of New Years they were closed so I could not get in touch with them again until today (Wednesday). I explained what happened and went in to get them fixed. She talked me into getting some hard coat to go under the gel for $10 because she said it would help them last longer. She told me that my nails probably peeled because I have "oils on my nails and they are so short". She used the dremmel on my nails and cut my skin on multiple fingers and didn't apologize or mention it. Also, a few hours later and my nails already starting to peel. Me being the non confrontational person I am ignored it. read more

I've been to almost every nail salon in the area, and Melody Nails is the only salon that has never disappointed! The staff is wonderful and very professional. They always ensure everything is up to the customers standard and in a timely manner. Most salons I've been to take longer than necessary and I still leave disappointed. Not only do they do a wonderful job, their pricing is very fair. Melody has been a great discovery and I highly recommend them! read more

Fishkill Nail - Acrylic fill with gel polish. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fishkill, New York

Was excited to hear they're under new management and decided to go for an SNS manicure. The man who did my nails was very nice but I wasn't thrilled with the technique. Usually when I get SNS, everything dries quickly and is filed and has a nice shine. They use a brand called Sakura here that I looked up when got home. I read that it's supposed to be"cured" under UV/LED lights which they didn't do and explains why I ended up with uneven spots and runs in the Polish. :-( I tried to get him to fix a couple of nails and he just added more top coat that didn't dry properly so I gave up and left as soon as it was dry enough to get in the car. I will definitely stick to salons that use SNS in the future. read more

Fishkill Nail - A hand with a blue painted fingernail is visible, held over a textured gray surface, possibly a countertop or floor. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fishkill, New York

HORRIBLE customer service!! Went in for a SNS manicure and from the begging I let the man doing my nails know-his name was Hai, that I wanted a neutral color. He pointed to a color saying it would be perfect for what I wanted. It looked almost see-through, but he assured me it wouldn't be after a few dips. During the process, I kept bluntly saying how I didn't like the color. He kept telling me how it will be fine and the way I want at the end of the manicure. Fast forward to the end of the manicure and I absolutely hate it! The color and how it was dipped just awful!! Now, I'm in the customer service business and the proper way to handle a situation like this one with me not like the color or dip job would simply be to re-do it with the color I wanted from the beginning and make the customer happy. What I got instead of this was complete attitude from Hai. Sure he re-did it but he was SO AGGRESSIVE during the process of re-doing it and had this mean look on his face the whole time. He cut my cuticles multiple times the second time around and the dip job was done even more awful then the first time. Now, Here's the kicker, the owner actually came to ring me up for the SNS manicure and asked me for $10 high then the set price on my manicure. I told her that was not the price I was quoted but she said since I wanted a change of color I was being charged $10 extra. I was APPALLED!! I refused to pay the extra $10 and she obliged after a bunch of arguing back-and-forth. These are extremely RUDE people who obviously just care about the money and not, the satisfaction of their customers. I have lived all over the country and always spend a small fortunate at nail salons and this place lost a great customer. read more

We are back. One year later. We didn't have an appointment but were seen right away on a Friday evening. Still a great deal. This time we did a mommy daughter pedicure for $25 and $20 respectively. We were both pleased with how our nails came out. The service was great and the employees were friendly. We will probably come back again, and I will probably recommend this place too. read more

I got an excellent fill, 2 nail extensions repaired and a gelle manicure from Lee the other day! The nail extensions I had put on at another salon in Fishkill were a mess! They looked thick and unnatural. Lee does silk extensions and it gives a natural and beautiful look to your nails! I highly recommend this salon! Ask for Lee! read more

Don't let the man do your nails or feet! In February he argued with me, after I spoke to him first about doing a natural manicure and pedicure. I had brought my own polish and was going to a wedding and the color of dress I was wearing. He tried to talk me into using a gel color and he kept asking like I was going to change my mind! 5 times before h started doing my toenails. I had to tell him to stop cutting the cuticles off and l had to keep telling him stop it! Cuticles are needed keep your nails growing and by not cutting them, it helps prevent infections from happening. This location used to do reflexology and more natural services. And clean equipment. read more

Very nail&spa very professional .I love to get med/ped there. Ask for Lily Highly recommended

Basic nail salon to get a mani- pedi. The staff was not very social- maybe an occasional smile would be appreciated by customers

Received a gift certificate from my niece, who patronizes this salon, as a Christmas gift. I did not know that the gift certificates was only good for January and February. went to the salon to ask if they would extend the certificate for 1 more month they flat out said NO! Do not think this is good business as my niece also bought certificates for her mother and other members of the family and now they are all wasted and Melody nails gets to keep the money. I will never use this salon and would never recommend it. If I had it my way I would not even give it 1 star read more

Meh. Came in for a pedicure and manicure. Process was painful. Tools are not in a sealed bag and I prefer opi nail brand but they only have Essie. Regular manicure is the cheapest at $8 but that does not come with a soak. I'm not sure if it's worth it read more

Walked in on a Saturday at 11:30. There were only 2 employees working and neither bothered to acknowledge that I was there. I sat to wait, no one showed up or asked me if I needed help or how long the wait would be. After 10 minutes, I walked out. I don't have time to sit around all day and hope that they can help me. read more

This was once a wonderful nail salon which I went to for years.Now under new ownership.My first time there I had a gift card received from my daughter some months prior.Instead of being welcomed as a continuing customer I was treated like a thief,checked and double checked and heard a litany of complaints by the new owners about how dishonest the prior owner had been by understating the number of outstanding gift cards. During my manicure I had to endure some unknown man staring at the process and exchanging a pile of some sort of credit cards with the manicurist.I finally had to ask him to move on. Never returned.Going to a lovely salon in Cold Spring. read more

I decided to give Fishkill Nails another try because my new job is very close to the salon. I'm so glad I did because I had a much better experience this time. My nails were damaged from acrylic gel and the owner Lee took the time to file the gel off by hand before replacing it with gel polish. She was very friendly and took the time to explain what she was doing, all while making sure my nails wouldn't get (more) damaged in the process. I will definitely be back. read more

I came here with my friend. They told us it would be two minutes for a pedicure each. We sat down and waited almost an hour, as they took other customers, and they butchered both of our nails as well..... we paid almost 90 dollars, and the lady charged us wrong and the other worker had the audacity to ask us for the extra 10 dollars after we had already been paid for 5 minutes. I will not being coming back here ever again. read more

Used to be a good client of the old owners with Rosa and Lee. Very satisfied with them. Went a few times with new owner. Never gave me a back massage, kept trying to talk me to do extra things. Being a senior, never helped with my shoes. Needless to say, haven't been back. read more

This place was clean and had great light. Staff were welcoming and had a nice rapport with their regulars . I had the fishkill pedicure and I found the service was fairly priced. The foot/leg massage was awesome and the owner was well skilled in reflexology. I appreciate this because I find led reflexology to be very relaxing. read more

Was in town for a wedding and was in need of some quick nail beautification. I passed by Fishkill Nail on my way to another salon I found on Yelp and figured I'd give it a try - so glad I did! My only disappointment is that I can't make this place a regular destination for my nail needs. Fishkill Nail was well lit and clean. Acceptable assortment of the usual OPI and Essie colors, as well as a few other salon brands. Decent prices for the area: $33 for a basic mani + pedi. They're also offering the 'permanent' gel manicures there as well for $25 (which is on par with what I pay in NYC). Yumi (Yoomi? sp?) took care of my fingers and toes and did a FANTASTIC job. She was also very pleasant in general and spoke very good English. Everyone else in the salon while I was there was clearly a local and clearly a regular patron on this salon - they all knew each other by name and just adored each other. I'm sorry that I can't be part of that regular scene...but perhaps you can. Give them a try. read more

I have only brought my girls here for manicures, but the staff is very accommodating, friendly and the place is very clean.

I felt like going somewhere different, and I saw a sign that said "Under New Management". It is now called Fishkill Melody Spa & Nail. I walked in without an appointment. I was told 10 minutes, pick a color. Since I waited for over 30 minutes (no big deal, but they kept saying 5 more minutes, over and over), I had time to look around. Picking a color was a bit of a challenge as the nail polishes are just randomly placed on the shelves with no rhyme or reason, and no sense of order. It is more helpful when the similar colors are at least next to each. The bottles were also way more drippy than usual with dry polish crusted at the necks of the bottles. By this time, I had already decided I wouldn't be coming back just from the state of the shelves, and the lack of color selection and the cheap brands of polish. This shows a lack of pride and no concern about the appearance of their business. I found the disorder a sign of what was to come, and I was right. I also don't like when salons have those drills hanging on poles for the acrylics...they don't change the drill bits at all, let alone between clients, and are unsanitary. The woman who took care of me said she was the manager. She tried to be friendly, asking questions. Out of the fifty thousand gel nail colors they give you to chose from, I picked a color they actually didn't have (I wonder how many others they don't have)....and I only know this because one of the other nail techs say she didn't think they had it 10 mins before when I first picked the color...and I heard it. So...this woman...who speaks English just fine, brings over 2 different polishes, and tried to start applying it. I told her that was not the right color, she starting babbling something (all of a sudden in broken English?) about how one was the base color and the other was a top color. It said again, no...that is not the right color...you don't MIX those colors to get the color I chose...pretending like that's the way it's supposed to be (you think this is my first manicure?). She finally admitted they didn't have the color I asked for. So I said, then TELL me you don't have it, and I'll pick another color (everyone picks multiple colors in their head). You don't try to pull one over on me like I am stupid! She did a half-assed job, rushed through it, soaked my hands for 2 seconds in plain water like that was going to be enough to soften my cuticles...so she ended up ripping my cuticles off (I have blood at the base of my nails), and when l left, my hands were just as dry as when I walked in...and that was after applying cream. And there was no back massage- not that I needed it. I just wanted out. Then she was oh...the next time you come back, call first. Yeah...no thanks. I went to pay, and the guy didn't know how to used the credit card machine. He had to swipe and cancel my card 3 times because he could get it to work. I took the machine, and I made it work. Then, the paper on the credit card machine got stuck and he couldn't get it out to give me a receipt. So I took it out of his hand again...and I fixed it in 2 seconds. Overall, it was not a good experience. I am never going back...and would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

I happened to be in the area with time for a long-overdue mani/pedi on my hands. After reading multiple reviews on this site, I walked into Fishkill Melody Nail. While it is not as pretty or sleek as other salons, it is very clean. More importantly, everyone spoke excellent English and were very friendly. I normally get a spa pedicure wherever I go but, as a previous reviewer stated, the $25 basic pedicure is sufficient. Currently, they offer $5 off the price of a pedicure on Monday-Thursday, so I only paid $20! I had a gel manicure for $25 as well. Stella did a great job on both. I will definitely return. The other techs, Lee and Rosa, had a nice rapport with their customers. I would prefer, however, that they offered a fuller selection of OPI nail polish, as that is my preferred brand. read more

Went here recently to get a quick mani before going to my friends wedding in Beacon, NY. I want to say it was only $8, but can't recall for sure, but def less than $10. The manicurist did a great job, but I questioned whether the instruments were sterilized. Excellent selection of colors. read more

I came very close to close, and yet they were quick to set me up for a manicure/pedicure. I got both done at the same time (2 women working on me). They did a pretty good job, however as 7pm struck, suddenly they couldnt wait to leave.. but I don't blame them- it was a Saturday evening. I'd recommend it for a quick mani-pedi if you're around. read more

Okay so I've been here twice now cause of the new ownership . Place is super clean SUPER friendly which is hard to find at nail places sometimes. They do a fantastic job and I'm honestly picky. I get the gel powder and I go to Lisa she really takes her time it got a little busy and not once did she leave she was just focused on making my nails awesome. She also was concerned if I truly liked my nails (which I did ) . Highly recommend:) and they give you this little card if you come 10 times you get 10 dollars off. Finally a good nail place up here ! read more

I've been here a handful of times, and it's been fine overall. However, I went in for a manicure and eyebrow wax, and I will not be returning. The mail technician that worked with me was kind, but a bit pushy, and talked me into the "winter" spa pedicure. She painted my nails, waxed my eyebrows (which came out fine), then gave a "free" five minute massage (which was rather painful), and the did a paraffin was. She didn't allow my nails enough time to dry!! The polish is smudged, and looks terrible. With the manicure, eyebrow wax, and then a tip, it cost $40- and my nails look awful and will need to be redone. read more

I went to melody nails out of Convenience it was close to home most of the time I got Gel manicures which by the way never seem to last the last time I was there I change my mind at the end and asked if I could have more of a design on the rest of my nails in which the response I got was I asked you when I was doing your nails and you did not answer I already put topcoat on very rude always in a rush I asked if my cuticles could be pushed back in respond I got no I can't that's why I use the drill why would you have to drill my cuticles when you're doing a gel manicure the only one that's in there that does a decent job and is the owner I've only dealt with the owner and her sisterHer sister seems as if she doesn't want to be there and as if it is a chore to do nails I will not be going back with the last experience I had plus they nickel and dime you for every little thing not worth the time or energy or the money read more

Horrible. Went in for an SNS manicure... they used the same powder on my natural nails that they do pink and white acrylics with (unbeknownst to me at the time). Also burned me with the electric drill after I asked them not to use it so roughly. TWO days after, they were all chipping and lifting. Completely ruined my nails, one or 2 chipped and lifted down to the skin. Now I have no choice but to do an artificial nail. Will never give them another dime. read more

I really like them and am glad I found a salon I like in the area! They do a wonderful job and the nail techs there are really nice and welcoming. The only criticism I have is that I wish they had more gel shellac colors!!! read more

I've only visited this salon once for a gel manicure. I had a coupon and they charged me separately for the gel color so in reality the manicare (even with the coupon) was as much as if I had gone elsewhere. The manicurist made a point of telling me that when I came next it would be full cost which was $45. There are too many nail salons in this area to pay that much for mediocre service. read more
