    I saw this simple nail design from Pinterest! It came out great!
    Shanna O.

    Update : This why I keep coming back here! They do excellent nails! The shop is not chic or magnificent but it will do! It has been a staple here for years! Customers come from Staten Island, PA, NJ! That speaks volumes for this nail salon! Do not come here if you're trying to get ideas from Instagram or Pinterest! They can do designs, but not Instagram type! However, if your job requires less is more( no stiletto, long claws, or vamps) ; then you have come to the right place! Located @ 483 5th Avenue! Open everyday except Christmas and New Year 9-7pm!

    Dip powder nails, square shape, natural pink done by Michael

    Look, there's a lot of nail salons around 5th ave, even multiple in one block. I easily passed this placed just judging by the outdated appearance and tried salons like vivi nail, nail on 5th, etc. But I came here one afternoon just to give it a try. Wendy did my gel mani and pedi and she's really nice and patient. When I say patient, I mean PATIENT because I am really picky about colors. I also met Shirley and Michael who are really nice, Michael being more quiet but very efficient. Blown away, I came back here a second time to try the powder dip nails and Michael did my nails . I've heard many talks about this man but wow, he is really careful and did an excellent job. Very gentle even with the cuticle cutter. I was in there for a long time but it was worth it. Even when there are rude and loud customers, I am amazed at how well they stay polite and friendly. It's a small staffed nail salon and to be quite Frank, I'm hesitant to post this review because I want to keep it a hidden gem. But I am feeling so great right now and I am very happy with my nail job. Thank you !

    The worst nail job I have ever received. I think YO-YO is new Bc it seemed like she was inexperienced when it came to giving gel service. My toes were done nicely so I'll give it a two and the older gentleman patched my nail so I'll give one more star for him. She was nice but I would never return. 63 dollars for what.

    Love the creativity Micheal has with my Nails!! Always leave a happy satisfied client

    Michael is so bomb. Mood and Gel Ink marble effect. Never leave disappointed .

    Very friendly and hospitality customer service! And, of course, they have the top notch techniques! My nail stylist - Linda, views me as her inspiration. She lets me try out all kinds of their newest "toys" every time I visit. The recent one that I felt in love with is this "Mood Color" nail polish. It changes color by your temperature. The colors are not only magical, but also gorgeous! It's a MUST TRY item!

    This was my new spot last time I came in on the 6th of June, got a full set long nails and a pedicure with regular Polish because for whatever reason they don't understand if you try to say you want gel on your toes they go get you a regular Polish close to the color. My last visit was fine it was 83$ which I felt was acceptable even though in ev I could have paid that and got gel on my toes.... I came back because it's close an they have a lot of gel colors well first off my pedicure she charged me extra to saw on my heels.... Usually a general saw is included in a pedicure.... Well then I picked a yellow and hot pink color.... I get up and the pink is orange. Not happy I have to live with this for a month I paid for pink not orange. Whatever. Now for my nails since the 6th I had several nails lift and one broke in half and came off and I glued it back she asked if I got them done here I said yes earlier this month she kept looking up and rushing so much it was giving me anxiety she was working on me and another girls nails at the same time she kept hurting my nails and then told me I needed a new set these were old!!!! I just got them there less than three weeks ago!!! She also kept saying how one was Crooked and they were just old so she took off two not the one that was broken and I glued back on. She said u got them done six months ago? Like really!!!!! So I guess she charged me for fixing their nail job cause I paid 71$ today!!!!!! Will not be going back the woman who did my nails even took a picture of them the first time and this woman kept basically calling me a liar. Nice I'll go back to ev and she cut my nail length in half!!! Cause she screwed up putting one nail one and cut it too short!!!! Insane!!! I should have said something but I was there for three hours and she kept getting up and going to do something else I was just Done! Update : the next morning my toes were already Chopped. I went in to have them fix it and picked a different color since the ones I picked were gone and they told me to change the color I'd have to pay!!!! I told them to find the color that matched and they kept repeating to change the color I'd have to pay extra and I told them I wasn't coming back and the girls in the far chairs laughed!!!! Never stepping foot back in here I went to the nail salon next door and had them fix this salons screw up and this salon next door is nicer! If you want to waste money and get treated like garbage goto five color

    can do better...

    It's alright. I mean, yesterday was the first time I went so. I went for acrylics & eyebrows, wasn't disappointed in either. It's just, the nails can be better right?

    What I wanted

    I made an appointment ahead of time for myself and 3 of my bridesmaids the day of my wedding rehearsal for about 6 hours before my rehearsal. I originally asked for Cindy because I have a friend who does her nails with Cindy and I ALWAYS LOVE THEM. But when I got there they said Cindy was not available so I had to have my nails done by someone else. REGRETS. SO MANY REGRETS. my appointment was at 2 but they didn't get started on me until about 3:30. Everything was a mess. I showed them a picture of what I wanted, the woman told me she could do it but obviously could not. She put on my first coat of nail polish and then left me to dry for about another 45 minutes. I was going to be late to my rehearsal so we were just going to leave as we were. (One of my bridesmaids had tips on but no color. At this point it was about 5:00. What's the point of an appointment?! I mean there were a lot of people there it was definitely packed but we had an appointment, we should have been priority) once we threatened to leave they suddenly wanted to work on our nails again but then everything was rushed and me THE BRIDE left with HORRENDOUS nails. I mean absolutely disgusting. I cried. I told her to not even bother putting the jewels on my nails because I knew I was just going to go home and paint over them myself. When it was time to pay I took out a gift card and before telling me what the price of my nails cost she asked me how much the gift card was for, Which was suspicious to me. It was a terrible experience and I would never return. I guess if Cindy isn't there, don't even bother. The Pinterest picture is what I asked for. The following picture is what I got. It's been about 2 weeks and I still feel so angered about the whole experience.

    Thanks Shirley, perfect like always :)

    I've been coming here since I was 10 years old, from mani pedis now to the best silk wraps. Lisa is my fav with pedis, she just has a great touch & I only let Shirley or Michael do my wraps EVEN THOUGH everyone else is still really good. Oh and Shirley & Lisa do the best waxing ! I'm here every two weeks for over 10 years now. I will never go anywhere else !

I tend to get 60-90 minute nail art, most found on Pinterest. The health of my nails is much better since I've been going to miGak consistently. It's my natural nails, no extensions needed. The polish and the removal do not destroy my nails like Vanity Projects and other comparable nail shops. Everyone is sweet. I book online at Vagaro. You do need to plan ahead. I usually book my appointment right after I get my manicure. I can usually go 4-5 weeks and I rarely have chipped nails.

My nails look great. The technician was wonderful. However, the woman at the front desk had a bad attitude and was not nice at all. She never smiled, I was not offered the opportunity to make another appointment after I paid, (which has never happened), and while I was waiting for my change, she was texting. I was standing right in front of her and she continued texting and didn't give me my change until she finished on her phone. That is very unprofessional. I don't know her issue but that is not how customers should ever be treated. Disappointing.

The structure gel took a long time so I thought it was going to be perfect and last long. However the very next day (10/3) I got a big chip. Went back to fix it (10/4) and then the next day (10/5) I see that many of my fingers have small chips that are most likely going to turn into big ones. To top it all off my finger is swollen, red, warm and tender!!! The tenderness began a day after on 10/3, as if from an infection. But by 10/5 my finger was swollen as if it was going to burst and 10/6 the cuticle was filled with puss. They did clip my cuticles alottttt. Like first one lady prepped my nails and clipped the cuticles but then the lady who actually applied the gel did it again before she started. So I'm pretty sure it's from that. I wanted to love this place but I'll never be back. I guess that's what I get for trying an out a spot and not sticking with my old faithful and to think I paid $85 for this service plus a tip. Update: I went back today 10/6 and was refunded. They were apologetic but I still won't be back.
