Helen did an absolutely amazing job fixing a botched set of tips and powder dip nails I had gotten a few weeks ago from another salon for a wedding. She nailed the shape I wanted, expertly filled the gap of new growth, and flawlessly repainted. I will definitely be going back! This is my new salon! Also, so affordable! read more

Horrible paint job! I received a gel manicure 3 days ago and the gel is already chipping. The lady painted my nails horrible and there's bubbles in the polish. I also got a gel pedicure and it is by far the worst. I still have cuticles and my toe nails are not painted on the side. I spent $80 in total and I regret it. I tried calling the salon multiple times and no one answers the phone. read more

Helen is the queen of acrylics. Truly. Of all the salons I have been to over the years and the many nail techs that I have had- she wins, hands down. The fastest, most perfectly shaped, most affordable, and perhaps most importantly, the strongest. I've been getting acrylics with her for 10 years on and off and I've hardly ever experienced any cracking or breaking and when I have it was my own fault. I've moved apartments, done remodeling, washed eleventy million dishes, worked out, lifted weights, fallen down stairs etc etc lol... and these beauties have held up through it all! Go see her! I'll admit there's not a ton of ambiance in her shop, but I don't care about all of that. Cleanliness and nail quality are my top concerns and she nails both! read more

So affordable, great manicures and pedicures that last, and everyone that works there is so sweet. Edi did an amazing French manicure for me and I'll definitely be going back regularly to get my nails done there. read more

Clean well done job every time. I am particular on so many details. No lumps. Polish is not uneven or thick. I get acrylic tips with gel color over it and painted nails designs. Always get asked where I get my nails done. Helen takes her time and is very skilled. read more

Me and my mother in law went together to get gel manicures as well as pedicure and eyebrows waxed. This was by far the worst service we've ever received. We had the same technician do the gel for us both and she did a horrible job. Both of our gel manicures were very sloppy, she cut my mother in law while removing her cuticles. My nails are naturally long and I requested a tip on one nail which broke off, the tip she did isn't even glued fully to my natural nail. She waxed my mother in laws eyebrows with no shape at all and there were hairs still left in areas that should have been clean. This was supposed to be a relaxing Saturday pampering however her energy was totally off putting/rude and she did a terrible job for the both of us. Needless to say we are never going back to this establishment. read more

Helen Nail Spa - Gel manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love Helen Nail Spa! Helen does an amazing job on acrylics and I admittedly throw some wild requests at her. I'll happily post some pictures of some of the awesome designs she's created based on inspiration pics I've shown her from pinterest/instagram. I have occasionally had to wait but like many things in NYC, I think it's worth it. It's better to make an appointment and (I feel like I'm ruining this for myself but) it's always emptier earlier in the day so I'd say that's the best time to go. The prices are reasonable and the space is clean/quiet. read more

This is my first time at this nail salon. When I arrived I was greeted by one of the technicians who also seemed to be the manager. The place was almost empty so I only waited 5 min. The technician who did my nails spoke very little English, so it was hard at times to communicate to her what I wanted. Nevertheless, we were able to figure it out. She was nice and very fast, but did pay attention to details. Efficient work and beautiful regular manicure for $10 before tip. Gel manicure is $25. I removed one star because this place is on the pricier side for Brooklyn. read more

I go to do my nails once in a while and this place is great. I get served right away. Very clean. read more

Great place for manicures, although I'd call ahead and ask for Helen. She's the only one that seems to know what she's really doing and can speak English. Don't expect a spa experience, though. It's very bare minimum and not a relaxing experience. I did love my nails, however. Helen knew exactly what shape I wanted and was very detailed. I ended up paying $65 including tip/tax for a set of acrylic tips and gel manicure over it, which I'd say is very reasonable for the quality of the manicure. read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon for the first time. It was busy. I did wait for 30 minutes but it did not detract my experience here at Helen Nail. The salon is very new and very clean. I was lucky enough to have Helen do my nails. Their selection for gel colors is amazing. They have so many different shades! Very current colors as well. I settled on a dark winter shade. Helen is very thorough. She takes her time and did a great job with my nails. She got rid of all the dead skin around the cuticles as well. The prices are great at 25$ for a gel mani. I will definitely return just on a less busy weekday. read more

Highly recommend. It's been so hard to find a nail salon that gets it right everytime, but Helens Nail Spa is a hidden gem. Definitely would call before hand to make an appointment with Helen. $65 for a long acrylic set with gel polish and I'm obsessed. (The orange set is from the first time I ever went to Helen's which was back in April. Also perfect shaping and polish job.) read more

This is a relatively newer nail salon on Lorimer. I've been here numerous times over the last 8 months or so and am pretty pleased with the consistent service. It's a big, clean space that was pretty sparse but is now slowly being more and more decorated by the owner. I would recommend getting gel manis here, they do a pretty good job. Mine has lasted three weeks now. I do wish they would spend a little more time and care on your feet but not many nail salons do. Overall would definitely recommend! read more

I just love this place. Helen is the best in Williamsburg. Her service is great. She takes her time and makes sure you are pleased. She has a big color option in both regular polish and gel. If you make an appointment you won't have to wait. I always make an appointment and she treats everyone so nice. The place is spacious and clean. It's a pleasure to be there. read more

I absolutely adore Helen and I've been coming here for years. She's the best in Brooklyn/nyc. I've gotten fill in/dipping powder as long as I can remember and she is the ONLY one who listens to my requests/gets it right/makes sure my nails are even&not crooked. PLUS, my nails never lift when she does them. Love love love her. A+++++ read more

Nice little salon and it's cleaner than other salons in this part of town. When the salon became a bit crowded on a Thursday afternoon, a customer came in and asked how long the wait was. The technician that answered was very honest and told the lady that they were very busy and the wait would be long. Most employees at other salons would have just encouraged her to sit and wait for the rest of her natural days so I thought the honesty was cool. I agree with another reviewer about the short amount of time they spend on your feet and I've been to other salons where they give a free leg massage and put the massage chair on for you for a few moments free of charge. Didn't happen here, but still a very nice salon. read more

Loved this place! Helen did an amazing job on my nails. Usually when I'm getting acrylics done, other nail technicians tend to be extremely rough and sometimes leave the sides of my nails bleeding. Helen was the opposite of this; she was very gentle and worked quickly. Her shop has a large selection of acrylic and gel polishes. She even had a gel mood polish that would change colors in response to heat. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I commute 3 stops from where I actually live to get my nails done. And it's so worth it! I scheduled an appt for an acrylic fill in, got one right the next day. At first I was a little thrown off by the quietness and that fact that nobody else was there. The place was super clean and shiny and Helen was sweet and knew exactly what I wanted. The outcome! Omg! Beautiful, thin! Natural looking nails. And they have a great selection of colors and brands. The second time I added a pedi and a ten minute massage. Feet are in fleek, the lady who did them was very nice and I paid 55 dollars for everything!!!! I know there are tons of fancy shmancy places in this area now, basically charging for the look of the salon rather than the service. Here you get it all, serenity and good service at a great price. I will be definitely be coming back. read more

Ok service. Not to thrilled about the whole experience. For a 1 mani & pedi and my sisters nails they charged me $130... A little too much and I felt like they rushed with us. Don't know if it had anything to do with our race but I felt like they would take their time with other people and not us! Pros: you get a massage chair as u get ur nails done. Cons: how we felt we were treated. Won't come back here again. Specially not for that price.. Unless they are plaining to put jewels on my nails or something!! read more

The people and atmosphere are great, however, I wasn't that impressed with how my nails looked afterward...the coloring isn't placed evenly and there is some polish on my cuticles. Not the best, that's for sure. In terms of smoothening (bottoms of feet and skin around nails and ends of nails) they don't do that very well either. That one is my huge problem as I have dry skin, so I love it when I leave a salon and I look smooth... nope not this time. Nice ladies though! read more

I don't get my nails done often (pedi, acrylic) but when I do I enjoy coming here for a pedicure, they are professional and clean and do a good job. It definitely feels like a spa experience here. They do a good job for acrylics, but it seems that helen is the only one that does it. I actually prefer another place for acrylics (nothing against this place) but they are out of my way, so when I don't have time I come here for acrylics. read more

I just moved to the area and am so impressed with the work Helen does! She is very flexible with appointments, and always very welcoming. It's hard to find a place that does good acrylic! It's really quiet but don't let that bother you! read more

RUDEST experience I have ever had in a nail salon! Maybe because I was a walk in? I was treated so rudely the whole time and never even asked what I wanted. She went and got massage rocks and literally went down the side of my leg for one second and that was all. Then she glared at me when I did not add a tip....finally I felt badly so I gave her 10% and she rudely stashed it as though it was nothing. I hope that others read this review and did not get caught as I did. Then the polish on my fingernails wasn't hard enough so it scraped off when I got home and dug for my keys.... read more

The service was quick but the gel manicure I got was really bad and I wouldn't recommend it.

I came here the other day for a simple manicure and they did a fanastic job. The salon is clean and very well priced for this area. They have a great selection of polishes along the wall, but they were not sorted by color, which was overwhelming. This is going to be my go-to nail spot. I highly recommend going here. read more

This place isn't good at all its was 4 people here three of them were eating and the one who was doing my nails literally cut my toe nails off i told the manager and she said I should have said something earlier when I already did. She didn't scrub my feet and then the manager tried to argue with me about it. This place isn't it. Oh and she has limited colors. I'm not impressed read more

I have been going to Helen for about 2 months now. I usually get a Full Gel Set. I like this shop a lot. its quiet and clean. The equipment is constantly being sanitized throughout the day and everyone is cleaning or up keeping the store during down time. They don't talk too much and they are not hovering over you watching as you get your nails done. I'm my experience the Owner is usually in the highest demand and does the worst work. But not Helen. She is gentle. time efficient and overall a pleasure to work with. She has never cut me or made any mistakes. My nais last well over two weeks before I have to go back. I have never experienced that before. The prices are reasonable and its always a good time. read more

They have no respect for appointments . Several (at least 3) times I have waited 30+ minutes. Great colour selection but not worth it at all. Highly disappointed and not coming back again read more
