Five Stars Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

This has been my go to nail salon since 2013- however, Jess has been my go to Nail Specialist since 2007. I have never been happier with the outcome of my nails. She's patient, and caring as is Amy. If they are not available when I have time, I make time to work with them because perfection is important. After moving to LI, I have been hesitant to visit another salon fearing I won't get the same treatment and care. This salon is clean, the staff is really friendly, and they offer a variety of manicures. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking. read more

Ok so I went in for a gel manicure which should last a minimum of TWO weeks. I went Sunday and by Monday 8 of my nails peeled off completely. I called the place and they were kind enough to tell me to come right back to have them fixed. When I went in to fix my nails the lady said something in another language about my nails and said they peeled because of my nails. I was confused and asked what's wrong with my nails? She goes nothing it's fine. Said she had to leave it a little longer and she redid it free of charge. It was an inconvenience to come back as I am a new mom and getting free time is difficult. After she fixed my nails on Tuesday, they looked great... however by Thursday it came off again. I am so upset as this is the first time my nails were done in seven months & unfortunately I do not have the free time to go back again for a third time this week. I have this one star because they kindly fixed their mistake, however this SHOULD NOT keep happening. What a disappointment and waste of money.. It's a nice place & my pedicure lasted with regular nail polish.. however I will not be returning for a manicure ever again read more

I really like this place because they are the ultimate professionals, they are clean, artistic and are respectful of their clients.

Love love love going here to see my girl! She always does an amazing and fast job!! They have a ton of colours (dip/gel/polish...) and the prices are decent with lots of different services. Do yourself a favour and make an appointment if you're wanting something time consuming so you don't get annoyed at the girls for showing up and expecting to walk in immediately! It's a busy shop. read more

It was another spa day for me and my niece who lives in OZP. I made an appointment here, based on the Yelp reviews and the pictures. It was nice to make our appointments with ease. My niece wanted just a regular manicure (possibly with tips) while I wanted a regular pedicure with callus remover and we were able to be squeezed in on their afternoon rotation. We arrived and were taken right away. My niece asked to get tips, and as sweet as she is she asked how much they were. $40 for tips is a bit pricey, but I told her she can get whatever she wants. I appreciated the other nail tech telling her not to get them as her nails were too short and that she should wait until next time. She got her mani and it came out pretty great. According to her, they were a little rough with cutting her cuticles, but that's always very tricky. My pedicure was pretty generic. My tech was a bit rough when it came to the callus removal and I kept flinching. But other than that, it was a pretty decent pedicure. Glad I tried this place out and will not hesitate to come back if I am in the area and need my nails done. read more

Very unprofessional + expensive+ poor quality of nail polish. nail color does not dried at all, they charged extra fees for paying with credit card and cheated in top of this on the bill. Just go to an European nail salon which is very hard to find in freaking NYC! Horrible experience!!! read more

The person doing the pedi caused a scene in front of EVERYONE when she made a suggestion to color completely white the toes. When told they didnt like it they began to further state why the other color wouldnt suit the person. So offensive, i will never come back here. They have no problem embarrassing clients out loud for the whole place to know why the color doesn't suit the person who chose it. I miss michaels, too bad their establishment was burned down. read more

The shop appeared clean and wasn't cramped like some places. The lady doing my nails was attentive to shopping and filling my nails however, my Nails starting chipping at the tips THE NEXT DAY. After paying a $15 dollar up charge for gel polish I don't think that's acceptable. read more

Same nail broke while turning my car steering wheel 1 day after getting it done. I came back got it fixed and broke again putting my son's sweater on him the same day. Mind you this is after paying 90.00 for a basic coffin set. I come back to fix it again and Jessica had no issues blaming me for the break in front of everyone. She didn't want to take accountability and then when I went to move my car in the parking lot to let someone else out, another customer came running back to tell me "you shouldn't come back here anymore because Jessica is inside telling everyone you're a Bitch" after addressing Jessica she proceeded to shout at me that I am in fact a bitch and that the nail break was my fault. We'll this is how it looked after she fixed it. And needless to say I will never go back there again. read more

UPDATE... Been a regular since my last review and still LOVING this place. Lisa is amazing. My Halloween nails are on point!! Sooooooo happy!! First time here and I am Uber impressed. My Lavender Pedicure was amazing. I was so appreciative of the attention to detail on my toes by Leilee (sp?). My feet feel and look beautiful. I also had my first full set with SNS powder. Lisa was meticulous and the results speak for themselves. I will be a very loyal repeat customer!! Everyone is so nice!! read more

I have visited this salon twice and have been impressed each visit. I was greeted warmly and waited a few minutes before Lisa began. She is fantastic! She has made excellent suggestions as far as picking a color. Lisa works quickly and efficiently. I am a true believer that you get what you pay for. The location is clean and has been busy the times I've frequented the establishment. It is usually pretty full, which I believe is a good indicator of how well they work. I will definitely visit again. Thanks for leaving me with beautiful nails Lisa! read more

I asked for white gel pedicure and I brought my own powder and they said it was a $15 surcharge just to put on a chrome powder that I brought in myself. The guy who did my pedicure was rough with me and the pedicure itself looked so bad and messy and translucent it still needed 2 more coats of polish. They didn't put lotion on or anything like that it was super rushed and honestly just not a good experience at all. read more

Finally came back here earlier this summer to give this place another try. I had made a reservation. Great experience with my manicure and pedicure. Very pleased and decided when I left that I would be back. Fast forward to this past weekend. I walked in and asked for a pedicure, eyebrow and lip wax. I was put with a male technician. Normally I prefer to not have a male. Since they took me right away with no wait on a walk in I didn't think twice. It took 45 minutes for him to finish my pedicure! It was a regular pedicure with polish, not a spa pedicure, no extra 10 minute massage, nothing like that. As a matter of fact I don't think I got the standard foot/leg massage at all, just the lotion rubbed on my feet and calves. He was rough and it was not a relaxing or comfortable experience. He did do a good job with the polish application though. He brought the bill, forgetting about the waxes I asked for. When he remembered I told him no, I didn't have time and had to go. I ran out of time because of the 45 minute pedicure! DISAPPOINTING overall. Giving 3 stars as a balance between this and the prior experience. read more

I've been to this salon twice to get SNS powder manicure, and the second time I also got a pedicure. The place is clean and the service is very friendly. I went today (Monday) at around 11 and they didn't have any customers, so they took me immediately. Shortly after me at around 12 they started getting other customers, so I reccomend that if you're going to walk in they to come on a weekday. They took about an hour and a half to do my manicure and pedicure, and they came out exactly the way I wanted them. When I finished drying, the lady wrapped my pedicure in saran wrap so I won't mess it up when I wear my shoes afterwards. I have no complaints about either of my visits, I highly recommend! read more

I love this place! They do a great job and they're so friendly and kind. I get my nails done from Jenny and she's the best! She does an amazing job and is well experienced. Definitely one of the best nail salons in Queens!! read more

The best nail salon in the neighborhood, I've been coming here for over a year now, and Amy is great! The place is clean, and bright!

I have been going to this salon for 2 1/2 years. I love coming here. You are treated with the utmost respect no matter who you are. I am appalled at a few of the negative reviews that I have read especially one that said they are racist that is a lie. I am a black older woman and I can tell you for a fact they are not. Some of the customers who come here are difficult and like to complain. I get my nails and feet done regularly and they do an excellent job. I highly recommend their services. read more

I have been coming here since moving to Howard Beach and now in need of a new nail spot. So thankful to find this place! (They did a really great job during covid too.) Very clean and friendly. Sara is so so AMAZING and the first nail technician to not have me leave the salon with painful bleeding fingernails/cuticles. She has a soft gentle touch and I have very sensitive skin. So it's nice to finally find someone that is gentle when working on other people's sensitive fingers and nails. read more

This definitely my new nail salon. I already sent 2 people there after I got mine done. The service is so great and the place is clean ! When I say clean I mean clean. I did a mani and pedi for $30 yes $30 amazing prices as well. I also go a 3 min massage as my nails were drying. Let's talk experience: As soon as I walked in I was greeted. I told them what I wanted they said okay have a seat someone will be right with you. Then 5mins later a lady greeted me and told me to pick a color. Then she walked me to the Pedi area, plastic in all the foot bowls massage chairs. Then after my pedi was over she then took my shoes to her mani station. Very delicate and after the mani was over walked to the drying area and gave me a massage. I love this place and will be back read more

The service is great a little pricey but it's okay. Did them yesterday and I have to go back today due to two of the nails having bubbles messing up the nail polish. But over all it was great. read more

Their appointment schedule is completely ridiculous, my daughter made an appointment for us at 10a when we got there they took other people saying they have a 10a appointment too. They overbooked their slots to do rush that are not worth it. Never again read more

They've really improved... I came back with hesitations but I really did enjoy the pedicures so I tried out the manicure again. The lady apologized for the first time which I did appreciate. And they've done a perfect job every time I've been here since. They're all so very nice too. I didn't do SNS again, but I did go with a gel manicure and I'm happy read more

They are rude.... As soon as we walked in they were staring at us like we didn't belong and once I asked for a full set for myself and a pedicure for my sister one lady immediately got up and said "do you have an appointment?" And we said no. Instead of kindly explaining they only take appointments she pointed us to the door just saying "no no no" very rudely. We could only help but think that their actions towards us was due to the color of our skin and after reading a few other reviews about this place it's fair to say we weren't wrong and they are definitely racist. They need to do better. read more

A friend from work and I decided to treat ourselves to manicures after work this past Friday. After some research I decided to give Five Stars Nails a go.

The first time coming here. My nails looked great walking out BUT... the next day they where awful. My massage was awful! The women messaging me did not understand EASY and that I had a prior injury. To top it off they tried to charge me an extra $5 dollars to use my credit card. They didn't believe It was a debit card until I had to enter my pin. Thank god I didn't get engaged because my nails look like SHIT from this place! TRASH!!!!!!!!! read more

I got a gel manicure and the tech that was doing my nails made my cuticle bleed. I don't remember her name, she was a little older than the other women. She didn't apologize, just dabbed a liquid on it that made it sting and kept going. Whatever, I didn't say anything, I let it go. I also usually get 3 coats for my gel mani and she was refusing to give me a 3rd coat until I insisted a couple times that the color was very light and I was able to see my natural nails underneath. She was hesitant and reluctant to do it, shaking her head as she finally put the third coat. That made me feel very uncomfortable and irritated as a customer. These women also will talk shit about you right in front of your face, in their language. So rude and disrespectful. You can understand tone in any language. Whole experience was very uncomfortable. read more

This place was wonderful! I'm a huge fan of nail art, but haven't been able to find a place that I really liked. Well I can stop looking!! The place is clean and they are very friendly!

Five Stars Nails - SNS powder gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Howard Beach, New York

This place was a million times better when it was under other management and called Nail Pro. I got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. The pedicure I received was decent but the gel manicure was the worst gel mani I ever got. I been getting gel for years and I know the procedure. The first step is to apply the primer coat to one hand and then expose to the UV light as you apply the coat to the other hand. This nail technician put the clear primer on ALL 10 of my fingers and then started pacing aroudn to find the machine. Then she didn't know how to turn it on. Shouldn't she have set up the machine before putting the primer on my nails? It gets worse. She literally painted my skin and cuticles. All my gel chipped and peeled after 3 days. My mom got SNS and they have such a small selection of colors. Majority of colors they did have were ugly. To top it off one of the girls asked my mom for more tip money because she tought she had to split her tip with the lady who did my nails. Clearly she jumped to conclusions considering I already tipped my lady prior to my mom tipping her lady. But even so, how could you have the guts to ask someone for more tip money?! NEVER GOING BACK EVER! read more

Very nice clean quiet professional place. I went for a gel fill in. She did a great job I will definitely go back and they also do appointments read more
