This is my third time here, and unfortunately, it's not a place where you can just walk in for a full set, fill, or detailed nail art. You really need to schedule an appointment in advance. Today, Yoyo took care of my manicure, and she did a fantastic job! The place is also well maintained, and I'm curious if she does great full sets as well... read more

This place is my go to nail salon. I've been coming here for about 2 years now and I'm always satisfied with my nails. They are a bit on the pricier side especially when you get a design but I don't get my nails done elaborately that often for it to be a problem. I usually don't have an issue getting the appointment I want if I call at least 2 days in advance but I've also never been there on the weekends so I can't speak for that. However, they are usually busy by 3pm during the week. read more

My nails were peeling as the gel top coat was not applied properly. I went back the very next day to get them fixed and the nail techs were very dismissive. The nail tech who did my nails didn't fix it, they had someone else work on it. I was still unhappy with the quality of work and the nail tech said she couldn't fix it. Please go elsewhere to get better service and to spend your money. read more

Wow I'm so devastated with the results after me going to Fresh Nails... I always get SNS and never been so disgusted with the aftermath... never have I had problems with fungus and my nails being as soft as a piece of paper.. I used to get my nails done in Brooklyn and never had this issue... but my nails are now paper thin. What happened I don't know but something with the product they use just messed my nails up!!!!! SORRY NEVER AGAIN! read more

One of the best Nail Spas I've been to on Long Island in a while. Recently I have been trying different Nail Spas since I left my salon in Queens. I stumbled upon the reviews here after a few bad experiences at other local spas. I visited this morning for a pedicure and Color Gel Manicure and I am one happy customer. I was greeted when I walked in and taken right away by Nancy. She did a great job asking me what I wanted and what shape I would like my toenails. She filed precisely and shaped the nails perfectly. I didn't have time to wait for the toe nail polish to dry so she told me I could return the next day for the polish. She gave a nice foot massage with oil. Next, Ana took over and did my Color Gel and I had a great time talking with her about my experiences and she shared some helpful advice on nail designs and services. I finally feel like I'm in good hands ! Literally!!!!! I haven't had Color Gel in years. It came out great since I decided to stop doing SNS Powder Dip. Love my nails ! These ladies/ gents provide wonderful service. The salon is clean, bright, modern, posh and comfortable. They don't talk loud or play loud music. Very relaxing environment. Ping, you run a great business. Can't wait to try all the Special Pedicures and other nail services. read more

Fresh Nails - Chrome - Nail Salons Near Me - West Hempstead, New York

This is probably the nastiest and rudest nail salon I've ever been to. First of all within the second of the appointment time they start calling me from a Detroit number so why would I pick up when I don't know anyone in Detroit. They continue calling five times so I'm thinking it's a spam call as I'm driving there. I'm about 8 minutes late and the woman tells me she tried calling me five times and they took someone else. Mind you I made this appointment four days in advance. She was so rude and nasty. I walked out and said i would go somewhere else and I'm so happy I didn't give this place a dime of my money. Go to not just nails for much better and kinder service! read more

I gave this place a lot more tries and I actually became a regular. Happy with the service and the ladies.

As I continue to give this nail salon the chance to earn back their 5 stars, but they continue to disappoint ... Called ahead to make an appointment and AGAIN when I show up i am told they don't have time to do the service I am requesting. 0/10 would not recommend I'm glad I'm using the "free pedicure" I accumulated on the rewards card now. I will not be back. Heads up: it's not free... it's $22 off. read more

They do good nails but the woman that answers the phone is rude AF. I just called to request a date and time with May and she said she doesn't have time and hung up on me! How about you tell me who is available at that time then??? Or pick a different date. I didn't call to get hung up on. Anyway, if you can get past the rude girl on the phone Ask for Jenny or May.. May is bomb! Also I think the pictures posted on Yelp are fake. As often as I go there I never see anyone take photos after getting their nails done. read more

They are amazing! I recently moved to the neighborhood and am so happy this salon is here. Everyone is extremely detailed, they spend the time they need to ensure you're getting their best, and they always do a great job. I had a gel manicure from one of the male employees my first time and then got tips from Kelly this past time. PERFECT almond shape and amazing French paint on top. They really make sure the shape is on point every time. The attention to detail is so appreciated 10/10 recommend! read more

All ladies are very nice, clean environment, snacks and drinks provided, nails always always come out looking so good, parking in back and usually easy to find elsewhere, they text back, and the nails typically last a long time if you take care of them (and because they LISTEN to what you want) !! Recommended a number of people here and would do it again. Be good to them and they will be good to you! read more

Made an appt and they sat me down maybe ten mins after. The establishment is clean and they do a nice job with uv gel. My cuticles look well manicured. A little pricier than most places but this is probably associated with the loss they took due to being closed during the height of the pandemic. All in all, I would come again. read more

Definitely have to update my review. I have come here a few times after. (I know I'm a harsh critic but im happy to see that changes were made). Like everyone else said, you have to make an appointment - it gets packed here. Since my last review, they have been opening instruments from the sterilization bags in front of the customers. This gives me more security in knowing that instruments are cleaned in between customers and not stored in a container. As for the polish, I have been trying different brands and noticed that some tend to chip more than others. When I have time I come here to treat myself. I came back to get my nails done for my wedding and it was beautiful ! I truly appreciate a business that listens to their customers recommendations. read more

I moved to West Hempstead about a year ago...I love this nail salon, I'm so happy I found it! It is very clean, following all Covid-19 precautions, yesterday when I was getting my nails done a customer tried to walk in without a mask on and Ping, the owner, got up and handed her a mask before she was allowed in. The quality of the services they provide are great, I got my second SNS powder nails there yesterday I went in with a design that I liked and Ping delivered! My first set lasted 4 weeks with no chip or peeling!! I waited so long because my work schedule has been so crazy with Covid, but Ping was very accommodating even when I had to cancel and reschedule! I LOVE MY NAILS! read more

Ping does a great job! People say the place is a bit pricey but you are paying for QUALITY and it is the ONLY quality place for miles. Make an appointment because this place gets busy and Ping sometimes has to turn people away, which is understandable. Like, who comes in for a full set and a gel pedicure at 6 if they close at 7???? BUT if thats what you want to do, just make an appointment and don't be rude! AND, their rhinestones never fall off. read more

Fresh Nails - Birthday set. - Nail Salons Near Me - West Hempstead, New York

I was soooo in love with this place. So much so that I recommended everyone I encountered to go there, and constantly posted them on my social media. I even carried their business cards on me and let people take pictures of my nails for reference. Then something changed as the business grew and they gained popularity. Appointments would have to be set far in advance. Fine. But then prices became inconsistent and have now sky rocketed. Which I would suck up, if the quality of service was consistent. It no longer is. Paying such high amounts I once critiqued my nails, understanding people have off days, and said I'd even pay to have them redone. (I'm know for having nice nails.) Apparently, that was unacceptable even though she laughed at not knowing how to even attempt the design. I know people are protective of their craft but I could've picked something else had I known the outcome. I have since not been able to get an appointment with my nail tech/the owner. I had been going there for over a year. This was the first time I spoke up, as in the past I just paid to get my nails redone somewhere else if I did not like it, to not cause issues. The girl who has done my nails since seems to overcharge, seeing as how Ping did similar styles for less in the past. Because I've recommended so many people, they share their thoughts with me and I am not alone in feeling like service has been inconsistent in recent months. I truly loved going here and now every time I go hoping for the best, I leave more upset. $123 for a full gel set with design. Annoyed but ok, they came out beautifully. Then a fill-in with design was $100. (Note: The prices were disclosed when the designs/service was completed, not prior.) That means the design was $55 by itself. Cute? Yes. But breathtaking? No. There are minor issues. My former nail place would've charged about $60 total with similar quality. I came to Fresh Nails, initially, out of convenience. I gave 3 stars because I genuinely like the owner but know she's overworked. Additionally, I have had some truly wonderful experiences and think their point program is wonderful. They do seasonal gifts/freebies, as well. However, I've also had more than a couple not so wonderful experiences at this point. read more

Best place ever and Jenny always gets me right !!! Ive been coming here for a year and love it.

Perfection! First time coming here. I asked for what I wanted and I got it! Walked in got taken right away by Ping. She was great! Read all the reviews before making my appointment. I took the good over the bad because honestly they were mostly about the attitude of Ping (which she did not have at all). If my nails come out the way I want, I can care less if a person has an attitude or not. They are there to do their job not entertain you. read more

UPDATE I called the nail salon and they told me to send pics of my nails, when I told them I already posted pictures on yelp and the manager said I can come in to get my nails fixed, they said I need to resend the pictures to the salon's phone number. When I try texting the pictures, it wouldn't go through. So, I sent the pictures to their DM on IG. I have not heard back from anyone. In less than two weeks my nails have chipped. read more

Soo this place is clean and nice. My friend and I had an appointment for 5pm. We made the appointment for two people to do powder gel mani's and pedi's. The whole point was for us to sit together chit chat and stuff. So we get there they sit us together to get our pedicures done. My friend gets hers done and I sit there waiting... and waiting.... no one tells me how much longer I'd have to wait or anything. 45min go by and I'm still waiting. By that time my friend is almost done getting her powder gel done and they sit me to dry my feet and NO ONE is doing my hands. The whole point was for us to get these things done together, not separate. We saw people who came in after we did and they were attended immediately and got their nails done before me. So the waiting time was very poor and unprofessional. The work done is okay, lets hope they last. Needless to say, I doubt we'll be back. Sooo we're bring this down to 1.5 stars because my nail chipped in less than 24 hours of getting them done... read more

After moving I've been trying different salons, all highly rated but NONE that I would go back to. I am the pickiest person in the world, especially since I get the most simple manicures so it drives me crazy when salons can't do the basics. This is definitely going to be my go-to place. My biggest thing is shape. I have short nail beds and other salons I've been to just never get the shape right. I love what Alice did with my nails. She is very detailed and efficient. Really happy I found this place. read more

This costs $160. I say the person who did my nails was decent however, the smiley faces can seem a bit crooked in comparison with the reference photo I showed her. It looks more neater than the ones it came out. She also did a mistake on one of my thumbs and didn't bother to correct it. The rest of the nails they're cute but going to the smiley faces i don't think this is worth $160 read more

Lets just say Ive already booked my next appointment. I have gel tips and so I was always told the ombre design couldn't be done on gel nails. Ping proved that to be untrue . I will admit she moved really fast. I was nervous that I wouldn't be satisfied but she really finessed my nails. The ombre effect is absolutely perfect and the shape is amazing . It's exactly what I wanted and I'm in love . I will be looking for my next design . I may even just let her freestyle it . Thank you Ping for your service and thank you for the goody bag for the holidays . See you in 2 weeks . read more

I really like this nail salon. $85 for a new gel set that's ombre (pink & white) & with jewel designs on two fingers is a steal. Ping, you're an artist! Only complaint that I had was she didn't buff enough so when she put the top coat there are little flecks underneath, but they're barely noticeable. Another thing is that I made sure to have her to not make the tips too chunky - so I made a comment to thin them out so they look more natural. All in all, my nails look perfect other than the slight blemishes - and the design is obviously gorgeous. She took the time to make sure it was perfectly aligned in the middle, and that the nails on each side were the same length and shape (coffin). I wish I had time but they had a special going on for lavender or lemon tea spa pedicures for only $30-35 dollars additional with any gel manicure - and I likely would've taken advantage of that if I had the time. All in all, I'm happy with the service I was provided overall and would come back again for a fill-in. read more

I also love their points system and how it's all electronically filed. Very high tech! I highly recommend coming here and Nancy was awesome! read more

I just went to fresh nails and I asked for some yellow ombre tips, no design. I show them this picture (i'll compare both the pic and what I got.) I feel like I got almost exactly what I asked for but I didn't expect the price to be so much.. I paid $80 for this. They charged me $5 extra for matte. Being honest this in my opinion should cost $60 or $65. I feel like as someone who's studying to be in the beauty industry it's all about looking for ways to make the customer happy with the price too, to create a customer base. There might've been something that she could've tweaked like maybe not using entirely gel. And my nail tech didn't speak that much to me so I don't really know what I got to compare it to the prices on the board ..? HOWEVER! the quality is absolutely perfect!!! The shape was done SO well even though I honestly would prefer them slightly thinner but even so it makes them stronger. No air bubbles, no lumps, no uneven nails, so I have to say they do an amazing job. One last thing though... As she had me set the nails one by one it burned and at one point my left middle finger was burning so much that i couldn't take it, and it continued to burn as she worked on the next nail on the same hand. Is that normal? Basically, if you have the money to spend to go then it's amazing but if you're not willing to spend more than it may be worth, dont bother going. read more

Walked in with no appointment for regular mani/pedi, was greeted and taken straight in by Queena. She offered extra upgrades on the pedi but was not pushy at all. Since this was my first time here I opted for a regular pedi to see how it would come out. She spent a lot of time patiently cleaning my overgrown cuticles and was extremely gentle. The tools were opened in front of me, and the file and buffer were also new and opened infront of me. Mani was also very good, when I was done it looked like I had gotten gel instead of regular polish. The place is very clean and well ventilated. I'm so glad I found this place. Thank you ! read more

I'm very particular in what makes me commit to a salon & nail tech. These ladies have satisfied me beyond measure. I was recommend by a friend and a year and half later I'm still here. They are consistent in service and precise in technique. The team of manicurists have a keen eye for detail & their nails designs never disappoint ! My favorite two sit at chair one & three. I don't have a particular fave for pedicures but they too get the job done. They are pricey but I believe in the motto: treat yourself, don't cheat yourself. All in all I'm comfortably happy continuing my services here ! Check it out ! read more

Honestly, I love this place (for nails); and most of the ladies working there are very nice as well. The owner (Ping), not so much. I had a health issue in the family & had to reschedule my appts several times. Super frustrating because I've always kept my appts and always on time but life happens to all of us. This last time I realized I wouldn't be able to make it and rescheduled with May, on my way out after having had a pedicure. I show up for a 6p appt on a Sunday with Alice & Ping goes off about me being late & missing a 12p appt, and how Alice can't take me; which as mentioned I rescheduled. I was so upset about her attitude but needed my nails done, so I just took another nail tech. Not once did May speak up. Not once was I asked what happened? Instead I was spoken to like a piece of crap & given super attitude. I've given this place my money for years; but couldn't believe the lack of respect for a very loyal customer. I don't think I'll ever go back. Times are too hard, there's too much going on in the world, to be treated bad AND your spending your hard earned money, every two weeks. There's just a way to speak & act towards people, let alone customers. Very disappointed. read more

Edit* kris DEFINITELY said $60 and $50 extra for design on all fingers lol. The reason why i got up and left was because it was clear kris was new and didn't know what he was doing so why allow him to continue to mess up my nails? I politely asked how long he had been doing nails and he said 5 years. So of course at that point i was over the entire thing. He was polite but the nails were horrible and he was over charging me. Of course i know it's $55 because as mentioned before i saw the sign behind you. Thank you for reaching out to me however I decided that I would not waste more time and money returning to a business that did not value my business unless I left a bad review on Yelp. I don't have time be at a nail salon two consecutive weeks on my only day off for bad acrylic nails. I came here while i was in Long Island because i saw nice pictures on Yelp. I went in and showed them a pic and the lady at the first desk, assuming she's "ping" started making prices up even though she had a price chart behind her chair LOL which clearly states lower prices. she was charging me $60 for a basic acrylic set and $50 extra for simple designs. No bling or anything. Crazy part is i was willing to pay it but she put me with a nail tech by the name of kris who absolutely did not know what he was doing. Kris is a very polite, nice tech but once he started asking me what length i wanted EACH nail, (LOL), i knew i shouldn't have came in. This lady charged me $50 for this acrylic set with NO polish and didn't even clean up my cuticles. My advice is please do take your money elsewhere cus like she rudely told some one else on Yelp, it is yours and this business IS NOT IT. Not to mention acrylic is crooked and uneven and has bubbles. Every finger is a different shape. I could of had better and FINISHED nails for $30 anywhere else. read more

I've been going to the same nail place for over 15yrs and recently my nail tech left that place. So I decided to give my nails a break for a few weeks and although my natural nails were nice for a bit I really missed my long coffin nails. After looking around and finally choosing Fresh Nails I called and got a same day appointment and have to say I enjoyed the experience there. It was very peaceful and had pretty and clean interior. Love how my nails turned out and will definitely be continuing with them for a while. read more
