Shereese D.

Just awful. I had a last minute trip to Jamaica and needed my nails done. I'm not a nails person so I ask for suggestions and was met with " it's whatever you like" they did have pictures of designs that I could see for inspo. Nevertheless I went ahead. The charge for shape and length even if your nails are squared and on the short side . They did offer refreshments which I refused I had a distinct feeling these were not complimentary . I went on the trip didn't touch a lick of water other than showering . Two nails have popped off in a week. Needless to say I will not be back. Shame the location is very convenient

Only did one star because I can't do 0. Not one to leave reviews EVEN when the service was bad but this is just atrocious. Moved from Atlanta ga to New York recently so this happened to be the first nail salon to service me since I moved here. They advertise their prices like every other nail salon does so that's not new. The problem started with the quality of work which was just sad. Anyways I had them take off the design because it looked literally like a child had a paint day on my nails. While I'm trying to pay they raised the prices so I'm saying "no ma'am the prices show bla bla bla" and I show her the price in the store they advertised. Missy miss gonna get an attitude and tell me "it's my fault for not asking her". I understand I can ask but for a person who doesn't like asking stupid questions when my eyes are fully functional and I see the big a** sign NO IM NOT GONNA ASK tf. Anyways so on top of that they wanna charge for the design PLUS charge length when I literally have shorttttt a** acrylics. I'm sorry but I'm not paying an extra $20 for something that's either ugly, I had taken off, I didn't get all together, wrongfully advertised or any combination of what I listed. And to tip after that??? Bye. I have no issues with paying however the disrespectful techniques to try and resolve the issue was so unprofessional that it's absolutely disgusting. I won't tell y'all folks what to do, I'm just sharing my experience and if you want to have a similar encounter to me, be my guest child. Y'all be safe out there PS I know the white spots in the pink acrylic look like glares but y'all there's pockets of acrylic missing on my nails. And the 15% first timer discount is not for everyone if you didn't know, they pick and choose 08/16/2023 I tried painting a nail last night to see how it would look if I did my entire hands but I won't say much else. I'll just leave pictures. ‍ ** Tried to show how some nails were lifting and while trying to capture the gap the nail popped off so I'm not going to fatigue any other nails for this to happen again but y'all get the point and it hasn't even been a full week yet**

Relaxation at best
Marissa M.

Grace Nails is brought to you by the good folks of the Dominican salon Impressions Hair Salon next door on Francis Lewis Blvd. Grace used to style my hair back in 2010. She was the weave slayer and could hair dress fabulously. Her husband Gregory is now doing another fabulous job running this posh nail salon. I planned a nail date with my fellow Yelper Sasha.B and felt Grace was the perfect salon to kick off our evening of relaxation. The atmosphere was very calming with the changing dim LED lighting, aromatic eucalyptus and lavender. There was gospel music playing and it was for once QUIET and peaceful. We were even provided complimentary red wine! Gregory greeted us and we picked our colors right away. Gregory was very welcoming and professional, however, our Nail technicians were not. They did not appear to want to provide the service or have a conversation. It was 5:45 p.m. and while I know they had a long day, we were the only 2 clients besides 1 other regular getting an acrylic service. My pedicure was done well. I appreciated how the cuticle and nails were cut accurately. But what I didn't appreciate was not being asked if I wanted callus remover or anything else relating to the pedicure. My tech was very quiet, taking phone calls, texting and clowning around with the other technician. After a while it took away from the experience. All in all, the quality of the job was well done. Luckily, after the pumice and pomegranate scrub I did not need callus remover. The towels were steaming hot and clean. That's more than I can say for these local rinky dink salons. I really like how sophisticated and modern this salon is and that is where they really score stars. The seats were comfortable and the service Gregory provided was exceptional. He went above and beyond as a manager. I usually pay $21 for a Mani Pedi at my home nail salon in Jamaica, so paying the $18 with the 15% Yelp offer was pretty good for this experience. I really wish they were open later. I saw 4 customers turned away at 6:30. We were informed they take their last client at 6. This business is very strict about punctuality and going home early VS making an extra dollar. LADIES! Come early or be turned away. For a posh, relaxing ambiance it was worth it. I plan to visit again in the near future for the Happy Hour Special during the day and I pray that the ladies work on their professionalism and more appropriate client service skills.

Drying my nails
Caretta M.

I am currently sitting in this nail salon, waiting on my toes to dry. My sister and myself met up here a few minutes before 6pm to get our nails done. Long story short, the staff left my sister to sit and soak her nail gel off for about an hour and a half to 2 hours. No one asked her how she was doing, no one attended her. It was not until 10 minutes ago at 8:10pm, that the same woman that sat her down asked her to sit in her chair. The whole time I have been here, I am watching and observing everything. They spoke bad about us in Spanish, they gave us several side glances, and this was because I kept checking on my sister because she was neglected and no one was helping her. We never cursed anyone out and we did not partake in any kind of ratchet behavior. I watched as everyone was helped except my sister. I don't understand stand the kind of dislike that someone must have and this was a bad observation for me. I don't believe we need to raise our voices and act a fool, just to get service. I will never step foot back into this establishment. I don't recommend anyone with a humane spirit to come here for service.

Loving my dipping powder manicure & got the paraffin wax to perfect my manicure experience.

This is a peaceful establishment. The owner, Gregory, is very attentive to every customer who walks in. My go to nail place!!!

I came here because I was in desperate need of my hair and nails done so I went to her hair salon and luckily while getting a wash and set you can dry your hair in the nail salon. I got a gel mani and this is how it's looking exactly 5 days later. I don't do any labor so I'm so confused. Oh and let me not forget to mention they are super aggressive while doing manicures literally all my fingers were bleeding smh. Never again

This place gets a strong 3 stars because the ambiance is decent, they do nails well and they offer wine; the best way to un-wine in my opinion. If you're not particular then maybe this review wouldn't interest you. I got here at 12 in the afternoon and I noticed that it was a good collection of acrylic dust around the work station; it's quite obvious that they don't clean the stations at the end of the night. I wasn't too fond of the fact that they feel it's necessary to talk amongst themselves as if they've never seen each other before. I'm not talking about a few words here and there; one of the nail techs came over to have a full on conversation with my nail tech. In my mind, I'm like can this wait ? It just seemed very unprofessional. My nail tech was very aggressive with the nail file. She scrapped off a good portion of my skin; I mainly noticed it when i went to wash my hands and at the end when they sprayed my finished gel mani with alcohol (yikes!)- it burned ! Overall the gel mani came out nice and I appreciated the wine offer. I wished they wouldn't converse with one another when they're with a customer so intensely, clean their work stations and to be mindful of the aggressive hand filing.

Full set

This is my go to spot for my nails even after I've moved away from the area. I've gotten full sets, manicures, pedicures, and my eyebrows done once here. I'm pretty much always satisfied with the full set. Comes out nicely and lasts about 1.5 weeks but I've had a couple instances where the technician has cut me with the buffer. Same for the manicures. The only time I left here disappointed is when I got my eyebrows done here. My brows were uneven and way too thin. The manager is really warm and professional, I like him a lot. The technicians are nice. The polish choices are plentiful. Parking right in front.

Went here for the first time yesterday and they did not disappoint me. Not only was the service great but they are very clean and sanitary. They practice social distancing very well by cleaning the chair and work space and using fresh equipment between each client. I highly recommend this business.

Polish wall
Sasha B.

Often times the word spa is overused so I'm always pleasantly surprised when I am given a spa like experience at a local salon. I was invited by yelp beauty Marissa M and after a long day it was the perfect way to catch up and unwind. Location: The salon is right in the heart of Hollister where I grew up so it was nice to revisit my old neighborhood. It's easily accessible by the 2, 77 and dollar cabs for those who commute publicly. It's strategically located right next to a hair salon and beauty supply. Great way to grab potential clients. From what I understand Gregory the owner is married to Grace the lucky lady the slain was named after who also owns the hair salon next door. Ambiance : Absolutely . The salon is beautifully decorated. It's elegant, chic and soothing. A mild scent of peppermint and lemon emanates throughout. Furnishings appeared to have been carefully chosen and every piece is exquisite. Lights are dimly lit, the music is subtle so are the pieces throughout that brought me to draw the conclusion that Gregory was Christian/saved and proud to share that. The towel pyramids add an extra touch and details come together to give this space a real high end feel. I love that there wasn't a huge obnoxious tv blasting and bombarding the space and peace. I was taken away; happily so. Yes, Hollister has a a salon/spa. Service Gregory is such a gentleman and so hands on. I love the way he carries himself and is involved with every area of the business. He was very welcoming, helped us to pick colors and offered us something to drink. Yes please, (wine)me up! While Gregory gives me high end the staff, not so much. Zoila was great on the pedi. She took her time to clean up my feet and paid great attention to detail. She scrubbed with vigor and I had happy feet. My hands now that's another story. I started off with Elizabeth. Elizabeth swears she doesn't speak English but something tells me that's just a way to stave off conversing so I am at her station for over an hr but we can't build rapport. She shaped me nails how she wanted and began to paint them without cleaning them up. I had dried up crusts of gel base coat yet she began to apply polish so it was messy. I had pieces of skin hanging from almost all nails. At times she yanked on my skin with the clippers despite me saying ouch several times. I'm b gonna assume "ouch" is comprehensible in all languages. Como se dice ouch en espanol? She had to tend to another customer but she didn't excuse herself, she just got up and sent over Mariella who quickly noticed my nails needed cleaning up and tended to them, much as gracias Mariella . The gel polish after 2 rounds of uv light were not dry, 3 times , 4 times. Yikes ! I was getting tired and frustrated. Final recommendation: I say go but brush up on your Spanish prior to. Def have Zoila do the pedi and pray Elizabeth is not on the phone while you get your mani. Enjoy the ambiance, drink wine and choose a pretty color . Life is short to have boring nails. Gregory, you've got something special here. Think about getting some more techs, some that are highly trained and professional and think about getting them at least a cute tshirt or smock to make things look more profession.

The last shapes my nails nicely and the nail technician understood when my nail needed some corrections. However, the nail polish was applied very sloppy . The pedicure was well done though . The wait was 1 hour, and a lot of people were in the salon when I walked in (I came at 11, they open at 10) the salon is clean and has nice decor. Prizes are good. But, the work was sloppy . The nail technician didn't even wash my hands just dusted it off.

I have been to many massage therapists and for different kinds of body work over many years and…read morehave had treatments that have ranged from decent to amazing. And while getting a massage usually helps me a little bit to feel better and more relaxed, it usually doesn't help to address the underlying problems that continue to cause reoccurring tension, tightness and pain that I have experienced for many years. But Richard's massage was different than others. It focused on releasing trigger points which are often the cause of chronic pain, with which I sometime struggle. He is personable, a good listener and responds quickly to requests during treatment to address specific areas of discomfort and does so really effectively! I have found myself having more lasting relief after seeing him and am trying to fit more frequent sessions with him into my schedule since I can already see how more regular treatment can bring my discomfort level down on a more permanent basis. That would be just wonderful! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and effective massage therapist and thank him for what he has done already to help me!

New York Spa Sauna - The front desk

New York Spa Sauna

5.3 mi•Murray Hill, Flushing

No photos since this establishment requires patrons to be naked in the wet areas…read more It's one of the more competitively priced Korean spas in the NYC area at $40 for the entrance fee with no time limit. Bonus points for the free underground parking which is especially valuable in the Flushing area. You pay at the front, leave your ID, then take off your shoes before heading downstairs to the wet area. There's shoe cubbies on the first level, but I prefer to take my shoes downstairs to your assigned locker so I don't have to worry about them potentially going missing. For proper etiquette just make sure to hold off on putting them on until you get to the first level when you're leaving. The co-ed clothed area (uniforms provided at check-in) is on the second level. There's additional saunas (clay, salt, etc.), ice room, sleep room, lots of recliners and even a restaurant up there. The wet area is pretty typical for a Korean spa. Gender segregated and nude only. There's a cold plunge, hot pool and warm pool. A row of seats for relaxing. A row of standing showers and two rows of sitting showers. Body scrub area. Sauna and steam room. Im from California but visit New York Spa & Sauna every time I come, which is about twice a year. However, this time I found the experience to be slightly different. Mainly that there's now a spa attendant in the men's wet area who sits right outside of the steam room. He frequently checks the steam and sauna plus strictly enforces the eight person capacity in the steam room. I can assume the purpose is to curb potential misconduct. IYKYK. On my prior visits, especially during the winter, there's times where upwards of a dozen or more people would be packed into the steam room at a time, quite the sausage fest. So I guess it's a plus for you now if you prefer having a little more space in there. The attendant was friendly enough and seems to strike a good enough balance of doing his job and not being too intrusive. I just found it slightly less relaxing since he's constantly counting up and down as people enter and leave the steam room. "Three, two, one, full, one, full, one, two, one, full, one two, three, two, one full, one, full again, please wait" is all you'll constantly hear now in the wet area. Eventually I did tone it out and even knocked out on one of the chairs for a bit, so I still found it overall a relaxing experience, just slightly less so than before. The spa opens until 11pm but the steam closes as 8:30pm and sauna at 9:00pm. If you stay past that, you're welcome to use the other amenities until they announce the check-out time which is a bit before 11pm. Overall, I stayed for nearly five hours and still had a fun and relaxing time. The place was clean and well maintained which is a huge plus for me.

This was my first time at this spa place. It's $40pp, not including food. The ladies and gentlemen…read moreget a spa outfit to change into, and there is no shoes allowed past the check-in spot. Everyone gets a bracelet for their locker. There are 4 rooms for the sauna, and one cold room. Attached are the food options, which would be charged extra on the bracelet that they give you. I'm East Asian, but when I came with my non-East Asian friend, I noticed that a few people in the sauna room would annoyingly leave when she walked in with me. It's not the sauna's fault that the guests were being racist, but the guests here might not be as welcoming to other races just based on my one experience alone. This is reflected in the score I gave them. There's nothing extraordinary about this spa and sauna place! It's a great place for rest. If you need any of the additional massages, it's required that you have to be completed naked and washed from head to toe before sitting down on the massage table, at least on the women side. We were not able to find anyone for massages at the designated massage room when we were there, so we had to inquire within the ladies' locker room. Turns out, they were doing the massages inside the ladies' locker room.
