My nails "looked" nice but in 6 days 3 nails broke. The nails I had prior had lasted me 1 month...so I was extremely upset how they broke that quick. read more

Joyce Tips Nail & Spa - Natural pink + chrome. Natural nails Index & middle finger broke in 6 days. - Nail Salons Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Terrible. Attitude prices, and was a long time customer. Realized they were charging me an extra $5 to shape nails almond each time there on top of the gel manicure price. Constantly yelling - in a different language - not a relaxing experience. Sad used to be good years ago, owner Joyce stopped caring about customers and shows with most of the long time original nail techs all left. Expensive and not the cleanest place. Too many places to go to locally. Unfortunately after 10+ consistent years found an excellent replacement right down the road. read more

My daughter and I stopped by on a Saturday morning for pedicures, and we were immediately seated. We both had the basic pedicure which costs $28. The nail technicians were efficient and our toes look great. Nothing fancy, but that is exactly what I expected for the price. read more

I came here without an appointment for a pedicure in the mid afternoon and was taken right away. The pedicurist, Leana, placed my feet on a dingy white towel. She said it was clean, and then she cut my toenails without first soaking my feet. She did massage my feet well though, and I felt so relaxed afterwards. Few workers wore name tags. The only person I saw wearing one was Lucy. All wore masks. They do disinfect nail tools. There are many visible autoclave sterilizing machines. There was one in use on the stand to the left of me. There are two televisions facing opposite of one another in the middle of the salon. Most salons that I go to don't have any. I watched News 12 as Leana did my pedicure. The salon's floor and chairs are relatively clean, considering the volume of customers that comes in. There were collectively nine customers getting manicures and pedicures today around 3:30 pm; and there were three more sitting down, waiting for somebody to take them to a chair. The nail dryer station is outdated. I have seen more modern ones than that. This salon is located in the same shopping center as Staples, UPS and King Kullen. So there is plenty of free parking. Joyce's Tips Nail & Spa is not the best salon that I have been to, but I go there once in a blue moon when I have a nail emergency. I live close by, and one of my toenails broke this morning. read more

*BEWARE*I just had the most mortifying experience I've ever had at at a service location! After 4 years of coming to this location and her East Islip location prior, plus NUMEROUS client recommendations; I will NEVER be back! Long story short- I'm in the wrong for not having an alternate form of payment other than Apple Pay, Venmo & credit card- but it wouldn't swipe, they don't take Apple Pay. I offered to leave her my NYS Drivers License & "unswippable" card explaining "I'll run to bank (where I can use Apple Pay for cash)". She wouldn't take it, began yelling "you can't leave" which I DO understand but I'm offering you my id & card! I had no other options so I said she could drive w me? She followed me to my car yelling and recording (so embarrassing) ‍then went to grab my ID from my hand, now you want it? Sad to say, I finally yelled back "Do NOT touch me and stop yelling!" Or something to that effect Needless to say, I came straight back and found the POLICE THERE! Luckily customers witnessed it all, the police were LOVELY-huge shout out to the 4th precinct... but holy embarrassing! Ps- I had a BASIC mani & pedi... nothing special. I guess customer loyalty isn't an actual thing anymore *disclaimer it is a Sunday & the owner wasn't here. I'd HOPE if she was it would have been different. Yet, I'll never ever come back! read more

I never have to wait when I go here which is a huge plus. It also has a very convenient location, right on the sunrise service road. They have a card that you can get signed and after 10 visits, you can turn it in for a free 10 minute massage, which is nice. It's big and clean. They don't use the bowl for you to soak your nails anymore during a manicure, so that is a little annoying because the oil and dust from the nail filing, just sits on your hands. read more

Clean, quiet, professional salon. Pedicure was exactly what I wanted. I cannot speak to polish, as I do not use it in finger- or toe-nails.

They did a decent job on the nails but BUTCHERED my cuticles, the pictures show the dried blood around each nail. The staff was rude and up charged me. for a barely decent looking design on my nails that looks more like a scissors then cute bows. about 5 different people worked on my hands that day and all demanded a tips for their not so great job.I got acrylic nails by them nails done on 12/17/2023. read more

There is a reason why this salon only gets two star rating. I will give them a negative star. If I could, I came in only because my nail salon was so busy and I didn't have an appointment this place is close to my house. The place was empty and the woman was rude , curt unaccommodating and all I asked for was a French pedicure. You would think there we10 people behind me waiting for service the way she worked so quickly through my pedicure. My two year old niece could've done a better job. Do not do not do not waste your money going to this horrible nail salon, there's a reason why it's empty read more

So this nail solon is conveniently located with ample parking. U very rarely have 2 wait. That's the good news. The bad news they are sloppy with my nails and rush through with an eye on the door 4 their next customer. Hustling is great as long as it doesn't affect the job they are working on, which it does. The prices are constantly changing 2. A fill-in that was 40 was 45 on my last visit. After u pay the person is standing on top of u with their hand out 4 a tip, counts it in front of u and makes a face. I tip 5$ which I think is fair. I said nothing about all this but ive given it a few whirls but won't be back. The manicure is sloppy and does not wear well. read more

My toes are drying as we speak; up to the minute review! I've been here for 1hr40mins, I had a reservation for a gel manicure and regular pedicure with callous removal. Im not sure this is your place if you need a quick lunch time pop-in, BUT that being said I did have an overall good experience throughout! The facility is fairly clean- I work for a hospital so my standards are borderline OCD. The pedicure and callous removal were good, but by the time I was done having my nails done my toe polish had done something weird; the polish sort of came up from the edges of my cuticle. They did fix them promptly, and the polish didn't do that again. Very happy with my gel manicure. Overall I would come back read more

They are so nasty to their customers! I've never seen such horrible treatment in my life. Yelling at their customers to ask a question is nasty. No acknowledgment of receiving a tip either. I won't come back here again. read more

I am very happy with this place. I went here bc another salon I was suppose to try was booked and could not take me. So I decided to try this place and it was a hit!! I loved how they did my pedicure although I do wish it was a little longer but the price was right on target. My nails they did a fantastic job. They changed the shape and cut them down and they looked prefect. I think this will be my new salon home!! I can't remember who did my services but I will be back. They have a large color selection and their colors are beautiful. The salon is large and clean and I felt I could relax there while being pampered and enjoying some self care. Great place! read more

I can't even rate this place with a 1 star!! You make appointments and that does not matter they take you as you come. I guess because your time means absolutely NOTHING???? Several times I have made an appointment and I sit and wait at least 30-40 minutes? Unless I want to get one of there inexperienced nail people. Why did I make an appointment? I get a design and my granddaughter age 6 could have done a better job at $8.00 for two fingers! REALLY My time is important!!! I kill my self to get there on time why why why! They simply do not care at all. The owner Ricky walks around like he owns the town and does not apologize or even acknowledge the fact that you exist and he's the one who made my appointment. Listen your not the only nail salon in town which is why I'll NEVER go there again one must wonder why they already had to close 1 of there 3 salons. Well don't wonder! Don't listen to me and learn the hard way Just walk in and get a lousy job and pay top dollar. I have been going to this salon for many years since they opened. In the winter they cater to you in the summer every Tom, Dick and Harry go for their pedicure. Where are they in the winter? I go weekly for a mani and pedi but definitely NOT there any more!! Good riddance to a super poorly run business. I'll spend my $46.00 for a weekly mani/pedi elsewhere. Probably for a lot less $$ and get better service! PS I am not a needy person and this is my first review of any business but that's how much they pissed me off for the final time! read more

I love Joyce tips, I never make an appointment and just walk-in. I never have to wait long. I always leave happy no matter what service I get. I find the girls to be very nice and they all do a great job. I have tried other salons but always end up going back to Joyce tips. They have a HUGE selection of colors from regular polish to gel polish and gel powder. So much that sometimes I can't make up my mind which color I want. They cater to their customers as they have different nationalities working there. read more

This place is absolutely terrible. I waited an hour and a half with an appointment to sit down for my first service. Once I was done with my pedicure I was told to wait for an additional 20 mins for my next service that I already had an appointment for as well. Three other people who were only in for 5 mins got ahead of me. Pretty sure they're discriminating against me. Would not recommend this place and will never be coming back. read more

Awful service. Waited 35 mins a pedicure chair while others customers who just walked in were serviced. The lady got nail polish all over my toes and did not clean it up. The toe dryer was broken yet they still sat us there and pretended it worked... Not a good nail salon wouldn't recommend:( read more

we took our granddaughter for a mani pedi. All three of us got mani pedis. I was not happy with the service we received. I did not make an issue of it because I did not want to ruin a special time with our 9 year old Granddaughter. the pedicure part was rushed. I've never had a pedicure that hurt, there was no attention to detail. she rubbed my legs and feet for 20 mins and then rushed thru the manicure, not even a bowl of water to soften the cuticles. Did not use freshly sanitized implants, did not even clean under my nails. A rip off . . read more

If I reviewed Joyce's when I first started coming it would have been a given 5 stars but lately I haven't had the greatest experiences. They are sometimes very under staffed and you have to wait a very long time with or without an appointment. On days like this they also rush the manicure/pedicure. Other than this they are very good and I have been coming here for years. There is an overwhelming amount of gel colors and they have the entire Essie collection which is awesome. Prices are on the lower side I've seen for gel manicures and pedicures. 99% of the time I get my eyebrows done they come out great. Make sure you get the punch card, Every 10th time you get a free massage! read more

Terribly rude staff in charge. There are a few really nice qualified manicurists which is the only reason I still come. I am going to look for another salon read more

Do not visit this salon. Long wait time rude behavior and no organization. Not to mention that there work on Nails is very sloppy read more

absolutely NEVER again! These people did so wrong by me and do not stand behind their policy of product. I paid $82 for my nails and in less than a week one nail chipped! I paid for the gel acrylic set which PREVENTS chipping and last longer, but that was certainly not the case! I went in to get ONE nail fixed and a lady tried to charge me $10 for it! All nail salons that I've been to fixes chipped nails for FREE. Absolute money hungry and inconsiderate people working here. I am so disappointed and unsatisfied with their services. And as mentioned earlier NEVER AGAIN. read more

OMG. YELLING ACROSS THE SALON. Unorganized. Never even soaked my feet for a pedicure. Attitudes from hell. I may find someplace else next time!! The best person here was the guy with glasses. Nobody knew what the hell was going on. read more

Disclaimer- I work in a service based industry and typically only leave reviews if they are positive... My first time here, I had only a pedicure, which was a lovely experience and lasted about 3 weeks. Today I went back in for a pedi and dip powder manicure... I again had a great pedicure (other than the broken massage chair) THEN had the nastiest woman give me the CHUNKIEST powder manicure ever. She took tools out of her drawer that were not wrapped or sterile. Did not even shape my nails at all before dipping them. Didn't even push back a cuticle. She asked what shape I wanted after the fact and barely shaped them.... then layered the powder on.... When I asked if she could make them thinner, she refused. My nails are currently varied lengths and thicknesses of polish...I've had plenty of powder manis... never going back. read more

Joyce Tips Nail & Spa - Thanks Steve - Nail Salons Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Used to be a good salon. Gott a rose spa pedicure week ago, ($45, they tried to charge $55 when paying ...also, it does not include callous removal, that's $8 extra) it's already chipped- but worse- now have Paronychia (cuticle infection) on 2 toes. Do yourself a favor -find another salon. read more

This place they call a nail salon should be ashamed of themselves...the so called nail tech was burping in my face as she game a manicure if that's what you want to call it...she pull on my cuticles that I thought I would bleed !!!I'm in the beauty business and never in my life have I seen such poor business...never do I complain this time I did they told me to come back in and they won't take care of me they gave me a attitude nobody wanted to take care of me so I walked out ..If you want a good mani pedi THIS IS NOT THE PLACE!!!! read more

I went in for a manicure and eyebrow waxing the young lady at the reception desk seated me quickly , but that was it not even acknowledging me that I have been sitting @ the manicure station for over 15 minutes ! Finely said to the young who finally acknowledged me have a nice day and thanks for keeping me waiting. Vey rude women she didn't care if she lost a great new customer. I would definitely not recommend Joyce Tips unless your into being kept waiting and being ignore by a rude woman . read more

I am writing this review on my wife's behalf. Today they cut her nail and burnt her chin. She is a gluten for punishment because I have heard her complaining for over a year about this place. Stay away ! The staff and owner are basically in it for the money and I get that but customer service and satisfaction come first . I own a small business and my clients satisfaction are first and foremost! Stay Away from this establishment. read more

5 stars for this place! Always busy (which is a good thing) but usually can get you in as a walk in! Have personally referred several people here and they love it as well! Thanks for consistently providing great service! read more

Not please with what I got out of my nails. My lady looked at me and took advantage that I was younger. She didn't do my cuticles and rushed through my gel manicure. I had gel polish on my skin. Not worth my $30. read more

Joyce and Ricky are absolute miracle workers!! Joyce has been doing my nails for over 5 years now, and i will not let anyone other than the two of them touch my fingers!! I hate to say it, but I've been known to be super picky, and a bit of a nail snob, and when i found them i fell in love! The amount of time, effort and perfection they put into their craft is incredible! I also have a couple crooked fingers, that they manage to shape the nails to so you cant notice at all! they truly are not only great at what they do, but are also wonderful people. The pedicures there are also amazing as well! whether i am in a rush, and get a basic pedi, or a fabulous spa pedicure, you never feel rushed and are always pampered. In the Patchogue salon (as they also have one in Islip Terrace, and i go to both and as i said i can be super picky), Jenny is amazing !!! Yes sometimes you may have to wait, but all good things in life are worth the wait! Make sure you check them out, you wont be disappointed! read more

I have had good experiences here but not in a very long time. The girl who did my nails left me bleeding, in pain and covered in green powder from my manicure. I had to go back inside to get my fingers cleaned up because it was such a mess. Will not be coming back. Waste of $40. read more

Unsanitary! I used to come here a lot when it first opened and they used to do a good job. And their prices aren't terrible, pretty standard. But I will NEVER go back here again. I just got my nails done and they don't clean any of their tools!!! The guy who did my nails legit opened a dirty drawer with a bunch of tools just thrown in and started picking at my cuticles. No sanitation wrapper or anything. and then when he was done he just threw the tools back in where they were. I'm honestly freaked out, like who knows who's fingers he was picking at before mine. Never ever going back. read more

I went in last week for a simple gel removal/then regular manicure. I believe the nail techs name was Lucy and I cannot stress enough that NO ONE should go here. First, the nail tech doesn't wash her hands... I had to tell her I wanted to wash my hands half way through the manicure because I was grossed out.. then she barely files my nails, I had two broken nails she didn't see or fix. She got nail polish all over my fingers so I went home with smudges all over my hands. I paid $27 for I'm not even sure what. I usually go to a different nail salon in Ronkonkoma but wanted to go closer to home and we'll, that will never happen again. I hope this helps someone else make the decision to NOT waste their time or money here. read more

Tons of colors to choose from! But that's it - always wait when you make an appointment. Had a 5:15 appointment, and was taken a half hour late. Sometimes it's even longer. It's very frustrating! It's not fair to keep guests waiting when they have made an appointment ahead of time. Don't take appointments If you can't keep them. read more

I have been going there on and off for two years . Recently, I have gone back ( about 6-7 months ago ). Joyce does my nails, she is amazing . They have the newest gel colors both traditional and powder. I know they can get busy but if you make an appointment here is no problem. read more

I'm so disappointed. I have been coming here for years! The owner does a great fill in. His wife, well she needs to learn some manners and how to talk to people. I had to go to a different girl because "Joyce's" husband wasn't there. This girl insisted on using that drill to file down my nails (I get acrylic fill-ins). I asked her (as I always do) to NOT use the drill. My nails are so thin and weak that they actually burn from the drill. She seemed to be annoyed and then starting talking to "Joyce" in their native tongue (insert occasional giggles here). So "Joyce" then proceeds to tell me that I have to have drill- I have no choice. With that, I told her I do have a choice...and I picked up my bag and motioned to leave. Add some more native language exchanges and low and behold! What appears before my eyes? An Emory board! A nail file. Like in the good old days. Not a tool that cuts the production time in half but leaves my nails burning and aching. So, I let her do my French fill-in (she did a nice job), but all the while kept snickering and snearing with "Joyce", along with some other worker who stood over me like a guard. When she proceeded to motion me for my pedicure (I had come in for a fill in and a pedi - I had even picked color), I told them that not only was I not getting a pedi, but that I wouldn't be back ever again (not nasty, not emotional- just factual), and they stood there giggling. Simply bizarre. I'm sad to say that I will never go back there. There are some awesome techs that work there, but for the fact that I was treated like an idiot (I'm sure my review doesn't sound anywhere near to what actually transpired, but trust me- she was snarky and nasty to the point that the only other customer that was there turned around in her seat and mouthed "OMG" to me for how they chose to talk to me). Toodles Joyce nails- you're not what you used to be and I certainly don't need to pay you so that you can treat me like crap. read more

I have come here several times over the past year as a walk-in. I was very pleased because they took me right away. I was very pleased because they had two TVs that you can view one from the pedicure room and one from the manicure room. The last two times I went I started to become disillusioned with the place. It's very clean very well staffed the last two times I got Lucy and was in the process of trying to grow my nails which are usually very chipped and peeling and calloused cuticles. First thing she said asked was cut? I said no no just file I'm trying to grow them. She shook her head yes that she understood what I was saying and then proceeded to cut all 10 nails. I tried to stopped after the first five (she cut them so quickly I didn't even realize what she had done), so I said don't cut my right hand I'm trying to grow them out. Again she shook her head yes and again she proceeded to cut. Anyway she gave me a good manicure I chalked it up to a language problem and promised myself to be more cautious when I come back and hopefully not get Lucy because I don't think she understands English. Cut to last week. I went for a pedicure again I said a very simple pedicure just cut the toenails this timeBecause they need it in a regular pedicure. She prepared the bath, everything was fine and when she was done with the shaping of my nails held up my foot and indicated with a guest urge towards my foot calluses, if it was ok to exfoliate the foot? I said yes since I thought that was part of the $22 pedicure which is normal in just about every salon I've ever been to. As she started to use the file on my foot she said eight dollar. I said OK because my foot needed to be filed. And will probably not go back there again, every time I have a procedure they want to upgrade whatever asked for. There's a man that walks back-and-forth through the place, I am assuming he's the owner and I'm not sure how much pressure he puts on his workers to constantly upsell, but I don't want to have to be on my toes so much when I'm trying to just get some simple service. read more
