Solid go-to spot for a mani/pedi, usually lasting at least two weeks. They take appointments on-time and give care to the work they're doing and are always nice. While not the most luxurious spot or spa-level vibe, it's a tried and true in the neighborhood! read more

Nice people BUT even if you make an appointment, they will take walk-ins and make you wait 30 minutes past your appointment time. Our time should be respected. If I have an appointment at 6:30pm, I expect to be seen at 6:30pm. Very very unprofessional! read more

I came to this establishment for a pedicure. When I walked in everyone was friendly and was asking me what I needed. I was going for a regular ol pedicure but decided to treat myself to the lavender spa pedicure. It comes with 10 min massage with steam, lavender scrub/scent and hot stones. I liked that they lined their "foot basins" with new baggys. The only downside I had was when it was time for the steam and massage, my timer was set but steamer wasn't working. The lady tried fixing and finally got it working but never restarted my timer. So got a shorter time :( . Color application flawless, the chairs are a awesome treat while you are getting the pedicure. And while my toes were drying I got a lil back massage . read more

Honey Nails - Red cat eye nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Ive been here about 3 times. But the third was my last straw. On the last 2 occasions i was with an older lady. I showed her the name of the color i wanted didnt bother to check and handed me the book of gel colors. I find the color in their book she just didnt want to check. I showed her a design she said they could do it. In the end it looked super sloppy. Then second time i come in she filed my nails so short after i spent time growing them out. Not only short but crooked. Against my better judgement i showed her a design she said she could do. In the end she could not and it looked awful. Please dont tell your customers you can do a design and then at the end you cant. I would much rather the honesty. Not worth the price. There are better places in the area. read more

The BEST service. The BEST quality. The BEST vibes. I love love LOVE this place! There is no better nail salon in NY, and trust me...I would know!!!! FIVE STARS!!! read more

They reuse the same dirty nail filer instead of a new one. I had asked for my cuticles to not be cut and the woman kept doing so anyways. The employees here will talk rudely about you in their own language. It's pretty apparent. Saw a roach crawling near my seat. Would not recommend. read more

My favorite nail salon in Forest Hills and I tried a few!! I get a spa pedicure and dip powder manicure every ~3 weeks and always have the best service. My manicures last 2.5-3 weeks and if anything chips before that, they always will fix it for free. Very accommodating, but definitely call beforehand to make sure you don't have to wait. Cici is THE BEST!!! Just know that if you want it done well, it will take time. I usually block out 2 hours for my mani/pedis. read more

I liked my overall experience here, the women inside were all friendly and helpful with my things when moving to the drying station. They had plenty of color options and it was tidy. I didn't have to wait luckily, but I did notice some people came in with appointments. I got the lavender pedicure and my feet still feel soft. Along with a regular manicure in a Essie gel color for $3 extra. Overall I paid $85 not including the tip. She charged me an extra $5 because I had gel nails originally and the removal was extra? Idk. read more

Clean facility. Nice staff. I get a simple gel manicure and regular pedicure so it's perfect for what I need.

Would not come back here. The nail tech scoffed and made a rude comment after I simply asked for her to shape my nails when she asked me about cutting them. read more

As an update on top of the horrible pedicure, my toes started chipping 2 days after. Solidified me never going back

Amy did my Gel X nails and she is extremely gentle and takes her time putting on each nail. They looked great even after an entire month and I only took them off because my nails grew out. The ladies are also all super nice! read more

I had not been by in a while and decided to have some me time and get my nails done. All the techs were different from when I used to come often. The service and cleanliness have gone way down hill. I did not see the tools being sterilized, old powder was all over the drill bits and brushes. The 20 min massage with my pedicure was not a massage , literally just rubbing lotion in over and over. I also noticed after she started the timer she took a couple minutes to get and take out the lotion... so definitely cut corners and not giving the full time for the massage. My nail tech was very sweet but I had to point out on my gel manicure a nail that she didn't file well, a hair that was painted into one nail, she sliced me with a file on another finger and made a cuticle bleed on another finger (she apologized), and one nail I had to point out was not filled in well. She redid all these issues, but the point is all these were there and had to be prompted to be corrected. The hot towel she put in my hand had hair on it which again was ick. The 10 minute back massage was decent. I did tip well - but I will not be returning. There are too many places in forest hills to accept this standard. read more

1st time coming to this nail salon. I don't typically go to nail salons often but I thought I'd give it a try. I went in as a walk-in and I was accommodated. Mani service was very good, my nail technician was very thorough and took her time to ensure my manicure was a smooth and easy going experience. I chose a regular gel mani for this service. I loved that after my nails were done, my nail technician applied cuticle oil, and gave me a very soothing back and hand massage. Overall, at the end of my service I was very relaxed and happy. My nails look amazing and I'll definitely be going back again for this amazing look read more

Honey Nails - Regular Gel Mani - Nail Salons Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Emily is the best. I usually get a gel mani and regular pedicure. She takes her time to get your nails done just right. Emily also makes great color suggestions if you're stuck between two choices. She has great instincts on what colors compliment your skin tone best. Definitely make a reservation and let them know what you're thinking to do (reg. Mani/pedi vs gel, straight up neat or with nail art, etc.). That way enough time will be set aside for your reservation. They get busy because they're good and the salon is clean and serene. Make sure to get the loyalty punch card. After 10 services you get one free. :) read more

I visited Honey Nails just yesterday and was quite disappointed with my experience there. Although I have been receiving compliments on my nails, it was the treatment that left me questioning it if want to ever come back. Let's start out with mentioning my friend got her nails done there 2 weeks prior. That same friend accompanied me to get Gel-X (my fave)! I called ahead and they asked me to come within 10 mins. Got there and she began working on me. A little while into the service I checked the sides of my nails and noticed gaps in between my nail and the gel nail extension. I immediately address this to her and she, as almost every nail tech does visibly gets bothered and tries to explain she can't do much. I asked her to change the nail and instead she began to file the sides down. My friend sitting next to me was a witness to the nail tech rolling her eyes each time I pointed something out about my nails. Next, it turns out they wanted to charge me $5 more than what they charged my friend. I walk to the bank for cash come back paid the amount she said and she yet stood there asking me for a tip. I respectfully communicated how I did not like their service, and all she did was ask again for a tip. Take your money elsewhere! read more

TLDR: Workers talk about you, service is subpar, and you may even unwillingly get your bag inspected at this salon ------------------------------------------ I don't usually write reviews but I was so displeased with my service that I found it necessary to. For context, I am a black woman who currently has blonde hair. I recognize this may not be a common sight but upon entering, I immediately noticed workers were staring at me and speaking in a different language. As someone with immigrant parents, I don't like to assume that because someone is speaking another language around me, they're talking about me. However, it definitely felt that way and my suspicions were confirmed when I sat down and my nail tech hit me with a sarcastic "nice hair" comment. Immediately after that, the discomfort escalated when a staff member asked me to put my bag down in the chair next to me and then REACHED INTO MY BAG without permission to inspect its contents. Which was literally just a package that I was on my way to drop off to UPS after the appointment. When I made a face at her out of pure shock, all she said was, "nice". This disrespectful invasion of privacy and the judgement of my appearance should've been enough for me to leave (and I truly did contemplate walking out) but Valentine's Day was coming up and all I wanted was to get my nails done. Unfortunately, the poor service didn't end there. I requested a design and received a quote (initially my nail tech said it would be $10 but after speaking with another worker in the shop, increased it to $12). Once she attempted to do the design (which was really not complicated; I'll attach pictures) I was asked to change it because it was too hard. After insisting on my original choice, the technician reluctantly complied but still delivered subpar work. When I expressed my dissatisfaction and asked her to redo the design I was told, "that's what it looked like in the pictures" and she, again, began speaking to her coworkers in another language as she wiped the design off and redid it. The redo was still not to my liking so I asked her to do it again and even apologized because I didn't want to be difficult but I also didn't want to be disappointed with a service I'm paying for. She redid the design a few times and it was still crooked but I already felt uncomfortable and just wanted to go home so I told her it was fine. When it was time to pay, I went to use my card and was informed that paying in cash would exempt me from an extra fee. I checked to see if I had enough cash but all I had was enough to cover my nails, not her tip. Because of that, she told me I could split the payment (tip & half of nails in cash and the rest on my card) & still avoid an extra fee. Despite assurances that this would save me money, I saw on my receipt that I was still charged the fee. When I brought this up, she told me "paying in cash is better for you" which makes absolutely no sense. At that point I was so frustrated I just left. And I should've taken my tip with me. Overall, my experience at this salon was very disappointing. The unprofessional conduct and lackluster service ruined what should have been a relaxing appointment. There are tons of other nail salons on Queens Blvd that I will take my service to, I advise you to do the same. read more

Needed a gel mani and regular pedi. $27 for pedi and $32 gel mani. The pedicure was mediocre. I had to ask her to remove the dead skin on the side. I made an appt for today and it was empty at 3:10pm. I believe my appt was with Emily. She was attentive but did not ask me much. Her paint job was good. There's no foot rub during this pedi. It's a 30 second lotion rub . I wish they actually massaged. Not sure how they're charging $27 for this. Will go elsewhere for pedi. Gel mani is nice, but once again had to keep asking her to file square and check the sides. It's decent. She patted my shoulders and called that a massage. They definitely try but some work could be done for the other elements of the experience that keep people coming back to salons (service, experience, quality). I'm curious to see how the color holds up. read more

I love love love honey nails especially when Judy does my nails but the last time I got them done was by another person and she has done my nails twice. Both times completely destroyed my nails and I'm really sad about it. My nails were very healthy and long they are also naturally on the strong healthy side. But literally all of my nails were either broken the next day or starting to break. And not just chipping like peeling from my skin bed it's been really painful trying to grow them back. I've been on vacation but once I'm back I will need to get the gel polish removed and hopefully grow them back to health but it's going to be a long process because they are so weak. read more

Love them, best nail work in Forest Hills and the price is great too. Other salons in the area have charged more for lower quality work.

They worked very slow and did not focus on working, keeping talking and talking. If you have hours of time, you go there and enjoy waiting time. I'd rather spend my time to do other stuff. It's not worth it to spend hours there just for grand opening 10% off. When I got my nails down, I just wanted to get out of there. The store was opened couple weeks, so the environment is clean and bright but I don't like how they work, not focused and slow and don't see the results are better than other places. Will not come back. read more

I only trust the ladies in this nail salon to do my nails. I've tried different places but the service, efficiency and skill are great here! The place is airy and relaxing, they have a big variety of colors, you will not be disappointed. I got gel-x done here for the first time and they're great! I also have done regular and gel mani/pedis. I do recommend you make an appointment especially if it's during a weekend or evening but they do take walk ins if they have time. read more

Decent new place in the neighborhood. The salon is nice and clean. My only complaint is several times I've gone, my gel manicure looks like it's a week old because the technician does not get close enough to the cuticle even though I ask her to. read more

The service was not that great. My skin got cut multiple times while they were cutting my cuticles. A messy job was done on simple French nails. I also paid almost $90 for them. They honestly were not worth the price. They looked unfinished. One of them broke off 3 days after getting them done. They fixed it free of charge which was nice. However, about a week later, another nail broke off. I do not recommend this salon. read more

Rude weird experience. I walked in and asked for a manicure, they told me to sit down, it was kind of busy. Then a woman said "pick a color" so I chose 2 and had a photo of what I wanted done to my nails (black/gold French). She said "sit there" so I did and showed her the image. She said "no, not with regular polish gel only". I have had this done before with regular polish I explained but she just repeated herself then reached for my hand to start?! Not sure what she was planning on doing as she told me she wouldn't do what I wanted. I again stated how I wanted my nails painted she again repeated herself without telling me why she'd only do gel or offering me any gel colors choose from or offering me any solution for what I was asking for. I got up and left and went down a few storefronts and had my nails done like what I wanted ‍ Will never go back, very weird. read more

The lady who did my nails did a great job the only downfall is the way the other ladies tried to persuade me to get other devices while I understand it is their job...it was way too much pressure...staff need to understand that customers getting their nails done also need to feel welcomed and relaxed as this is a self care experience...although the lady who did my nails was sweet I do not see myself returning read more

My first time to this reinvented salon ( I used to go to the same place years ago when it was Crystal Day Spa)- I just passed by and I was told to come back in 20 minutes for a regular manicure. The place has been remodeled, it's a lot brighter than before and seems larger. The salon was very quiet and relaxing. My technician, Emily was very efficient and expeditious in doing my manicure. I like the shape she has given my short and battered nails, I think their manicure is a good value for the price and I like that they kept their rewards card, since so many businesses eliminated them and high jacked their prices, but lowered the services. The only concern I had, the plexiglass partition between nail technician and customer was not that clean. In this high season for flu and Covid, it's a bit worrisome. I guess next time I will wear a mask. read more

I was due for a new manicure and stumbled across this salon on Yelp. I called the day before and they were able to set up an appointment for me over the phone. I really enjoyed my experience here.
