As far as nail salons go, this one is on the higher priced end. I've come here a few times to get my nails done over the past couple of years. When it comes to acrylics, they do a decent to unsatisfactory job depending on who you get. Hence the reason why when I have acrylics, I do not come here. They will be uneven and/or lift after a few days. Now when I want a UV gel manicure on my own natural nails, this is the only place I'll come to. May does a fantasic job on that and they last 10+ days easily. Lastly, this is the ONLY place I will come for pedicures. Lucy has been doing my feet for over a year and she never disappoints. I always feel like she gives me new feet and her massage skills makes it worth the $55 for the spa pedicure! So overall, I took a star off for the high prices and another off for the lack of skill on the acrylic side of things. But to be fair, May and Lucy deserve 5 stars for their skills. read more

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

Do not go to this location! They are so unorganized it's pathetic. When you walk in the don't tell you how long the wait is and when you ask they always say 10min. I went in for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. After 10 min I was put in the chair to soak off the gel. Well then I sat there for 30min soaking! I said something twice and they said a few more minutes. Finally after 45 minutes someone came to do my manicure. Because I had to wait so long I wasn't able to get my pedicure. So many people were walking out because they were being sat in a pedicure chair for 20min without anyone coming over to them. Horrible customer service. read more

This is a terrible nail salon. I will not go back and I would not recommend this place to anyone. They nickle and dime you and trick you. I got a pedicure and this girl who I could hardly understand was offering me things with no mention of price. I tried to ask to understand more about it and just ended up being up charged $20. There are MUCH better places to go that offer MUCH better services and provide good customer interaction. Even if you have an issue, there's no one to talk to and they do not offer you anything to make you feel better about your experience. Will NOT be going back. read more

Every time I've come here i always have the worst experience. First off, the people are rude and don't seem like they care about their costumers. My finger nails are always bleeding and get burned when i get gel manicures. I told the lady i didnt like the way my nails were turning out, she said it was fine. After I complained and some random guy that works there yelled at me abs started giving me an attitude about it. I will never come back ever again. I wish i could give them 0 stars. read more

I used to there every time I got an acrylic fill in. They are absolutely terrible. Please don't go. They're rude, do a terrible job. They cut my fingers so many times while doing my nails there's no reason to be so rough with the drills like are you stupid??? These are my damn fingers stop drilling the skin off of them!!! While doing my nails, the nail technician would get up and start doing someone else's nails for about 15 minutes, or just get up and go in the back and do whatever. At my job I was told to always finish what you started before helping another customers, which I think is pretty fair. So frustrating having to be there longer than I need to just because the technician feels the need to disappear for 15 minutes about 4 times while doing my nails. So rude and unprofessional I will never step one foot in there again. read more

Had a terrible experience . My lady Lucy was extremely rude. She rushed through my pedicure and then demanded more tip from me . Safe to say I will not be coming back here .. read more

This review has no malice. I am not a picky nail person at all. Basically if you don't spill the bottle on me, I don't complain. With that being said, they have lost a client today. There are a million salons. I asked for a gel manicure and pedicure. I don't pay attention and hover when they are painting, but he was half done and he hadnt done the gel. Of course they could've re-done it, but who has time for that? Next , gel manicure French. Took forever, line isn't straight and I have white polish on my skin. Overall it's a language barrier. I said gel pedicure several times and I voiced my unhappiness. The owner and her husband weren't there just now, just the rude manager who reminded me that he forgot to add an extra 5 on for French! Really , it wasn't even well done. If this was the first time being super unhappy i would probably return but other than the decor I'm not really too impressed with the rest. Again, my money will be spent elsewhere. read more

What is the point of making an appointment if they can't honor the appointment. Been waiting for 45 minutes for a pedi. They said 10 minutes. Noone has even come over to me. This place sux. I won't come here again. read more

I have given this nail salon so many chances....so many...and why? Because a couple of the girls actually do a decent job with French gel manicure but overall they are RUDE and do not appreciate their customers! They speak harshly about you in their language if you ask or object to anything, which isn't professional or fair. I work with my hands and it's important that my nails not break secondary to over filing, so when I ask not to file my nail bed with the electric machine (that destroys the nail) they get mad! Truth is, that's unnecessary...gel polish comes off after a few minutes of soaking but they just want you in and out. The wait is horrendous with or without an appointment and the service needs significant improvement! They lost me as a customer!!! read more

I have been going here for a while only when I can't get an appointment on time with my preferred nail girl because she's always booked and busy. I went today for a powder manicure and I will not come here anymore, was extremely unhappy. The sign in their salon says $40 for a powder manicure. I wish I saw that sign before I paid. He was almost done and asked me to pay now and said it's $45 and i said ok and I paid. Then a few minutes after I paid as I am looking around the salon for the prices because it felt odd to me why there charged me $45 for a regular powder manicure that normally costs $40, I found the sign as my nails were drying and the sign said $40 for powder manicure!!!!! I was fuming as soon as I saw that! I asked the guy that did my nails, how much is a powder manicure? He said yes I know it's $40 but $5 extra because you changed the shape of your nails. Are you kidding me?!! I said $5 extra to change the shape?! I've never heard of that?! He said it's been a while and I'm like there is no sign that says that, then I said ok looks like this is my last time I'm coming here and will not come here again. Changing the shape extra charge?! Are you kidding me?! They are filing, cutting, and shaping anyway that's why it's called a freaking manicure! There shouldn't be extra charge for going from square to oval! Will never go to this place ever again, they are such a rip off and will do anything to milk $$$. Do not go here! read more

Very clean salon and staff is very friendly BUT they ALWAYS make you wait (with or without appointment). They'll seat you so it seems like you'll be taken care of soon when you can be sitting there for a half hour. It's truly a hit or miss. Only had one bad experience while going there after a few years. I had taken my tips off and wanted a gel manicure but "Joyce" gave me no say and put a new set of tips on because my nails weren't "ready"(reminder: the acrylic full set is what ruined my nails). They have a huge variety of gel colors which is a plus and seems to bring customers in. Highly recommended for gel manicures (at the right time of day). read more

Joyce Tips Nail & Spa - Gel French manicure $30 - Nail Salons Near Me - Patchogue, New York

Came to this salon because i live pretty close..i waited for 10 mins and was told to pick a color..i did what i was told someone came after me and got in a chair before me..i wasnt ok with that but i let it pass..finally i get into a pedicure chair and get a RUSHED pedicure..She didnt even file my nails straight. Very disappointed!! My toe nails are uneven i had to come home and fix everything. Ridiculous wait time and service! read more

I used to come here regularly and they did a great job. SLOW, but still good. I don't come as often as I used to but im disappointed every single time. My gel polish flakes off within days! It's not cheap either. I'm currently on day 5 of a gel manicure and four of my nails have totally flaked off. Also my toes never seem to dry from here. They smudge hours and hours after getting a pedi. I'm going to assume that's from their polish being old. I won't be back. They get two stars only because they are very clean & give back massages while your waiting for nails to dry. read more

Waited 1/2 hour just to sit in pedicure chair another 20 minutes while other people who came after me went ahead of me because there was one person doing gel pedicures. Then it was going to take another hour to get my gel manicure done so I chose just to do a French manicure and that was going to take 25 MINUTES!!!!! First impressions are everything!!! read more

I needed a local nail salon on New Year's Day since my regular place was closed and my nail broke. I am a firm believer in reviews and the reviews for Joyce Tips were pretty negative. I decided to give them a try anyway and I'm glad I did. I get SNS powder dip and am very particular about my nails being perfect. They did a great job and my nails came out fabulous. They were friendly and the price was average. I will definitely go back. Don't let the negative reviews sway you, give them a try and I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

Went into this nail salon yesterday. Being new to the area I figured I would try a few nail salons before finding "the one" and this happened to be the first salon I tried and I will not be going back. I wish I had read some of the other Yelp reviewers wrote before I stopped in because they were spot on and I had a similar experience as some others have had. I walked in at about 2:15 and asked for a gel manicure and a regular pedicure. The women (who was doing someone's nails said "ok pick a out color" I picked my color, which took me about two minutes and sat down and waited, and waited, and waited. (Btw, they all looked like they were with a customer and I was the only one waiting) I looked at my phone and realized it was now 2:45! When I got up and asked how long it would be and even asked if I should come back she said (abruptly) "no go sit in back for pedicure" although I said to myself I should probably leave, I really didn't want to go to another salon and I really needed a manicure! The women who did my pedicure was nice enough and did an average job. Then they sat me down at a manicure table and once again I waited....finally a different women then the one who did my pedicure came over and started with that electric file and I told her no so she got up and just left my table.....then another women came over and started to file my nails (did the other lady not know how to use a nail file?) anyway, she filed my nails and left to go start a manicure at the next table! The fourth women came over a few minutes after that and kept apologizing as she finished doing my gel manicure while also doing another women's gel manicure!! I never saw anything like that!! Of course she was rushing back and fourth while trying to do two gels at the same time Four women, 1 gel mani and regular pedi and walking out at 4:55 (I kid you not, from walking in at 2:15) I would have to say I'll be looking to try another nail salon next time. read more

The only nail salon I will go to! Always clean and beautiful, staff is so nice and accommodating, and my nails always look beautiful!

The place totally grossed me out. I was in shortly after they opened. I was definitely the manicurist's first customer of the day, yet when she pulled out her equipment, everything was already opened. She'd even saved the sterile wrapper which was all crumpled up next to the equipment. Then I noticed her nails. She had a green fungal nail bed infection on one entire hand. I didn't let her cut my nails or my cuticles. After all of that, they charged $10 for just a regular manicure. Won't be going back there again. read more

The only nail salon i will go to! absolutely the best. Joyce and her staff are so friendly and they always do an amazing job. i go here once a month for a gel manicure and pedicure. My gel manicures last so much longer getting them done here than at any other salon. the salon is always immaculate, they have soooo many high quality polishes to choose from and the staff truly cares about their customers. you will not be disappointed! read more

This place is awful I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone ..and the owner is rude an argumentative . The nail technician that did my nails filed them too narrow on one hand and when I asked that it be fixed the owner came by to fix them and berated me so badly I had to ask her politely to please be quite and fix my nails so I could leave ...needless to say I had to Goto another salon to have them fixed...horrible experience read more

Very disappointed with the service I received at Joyce tip. I had no appointment but was told they could fit me. I sat 10 mins waiting for Anna. She was not friendy at all! She rushed my service and hurt me. Deff will not go back read more

This place was good in the past but has gone downhill. Big time. I won't be returning. Rushed, sloppy and not a good experience. Maybe it was the girl I got, Lucy. She was horrible. Either way I won't try again. read more

I went to get my eyebrows waxed before school started up a few months ago and the lady burned me. I figured it was just the lady as I've been before and that was the first time I was ever burned. Went again yesterday, this time to get my upper lip waxed as I have to go out on a date TONIGHT and the lady who waxed me burned me again. I look like I have ringworm around my mouth. I don't know if it was just my shitty luck, but I do know that I won't be returning. read more

Usually do a decent job. Wait for powder gel is outrageous. If I want a powder gel manicure and pedicure I am there for 2 hours. Not enough girls do the powder and makes the wait time longer. Too busy now. read more

For the past few years, I thought Joyce Nails were the best around however ... that's no longer the case. More and more I would end up disappointed and worst of all, with a chipped gel manicure. You get a gel manicure in hopes to avoid the common chipped nail look. The fact that they would NEVER last, chip within days, look grown out so quickly (cause they don't get close enough to the cuticle) is just a waste of time and money. They don't spend time really making sure the gel is done right yet you still manage to be there for over an hour. There are just SO many better places in the area, don't waste your time going here! read more

They'll tell you the wait is 15 minutes when it's over 45 minutes and they are NOT apologetic. Very rude. There are plenty of other nail salons where they the respect their customers. read more

My sister and I scheduled an appointment for gel manicure and pedicure. They sat us in chair after waiting a few minutes and then left us there for a half hour. After asking how much longer it will be we were attended to. I found the staff to be crude. I was not happy with my nails because they look streaky. Two staff members said it was from oil and manager said well that just the brand and it will go away in a few hours. She did not offer any discount just that I could "trust her that it will go away". This was my first and last experience at Joyce Nails. Do yourself a favor read the reviews before you go!! Go somewhere else! read more

I've given this place so many chances. There is no where else that seems as clean so I kept coming back but I'm done. Not only does every manicure come out completely bubbled over but they have made me bleed on two separate occasions! First was my cuticle on my fingernail and then another time my big toe - two different manicurists too!! On top of hacking me up, the pushing of their "spa" pedicure is annoying as hell. I kept asking for a just pedicure and callus remover and was continually pushed into a $45 spa pedicure!! They are overpriced too. $18 for a basic pedicure and $7 for callus remover? ehhh no thanks I'm done. read more

We had an appointment for two gel manicures and two pedicures. As usual when we arrived they acted as though they did not know we had an appointment which is not the first time. The pedicure was done in less then 10 minutes they didn't scrub or even rub the feet during the pedicure. The gel manicure was okay, the actual manicure came out okay but the entire experience was very stressful. Everything was so rushed and not relaxing at all. During the final stages of the manicure they surrounded us and told us we didn't tip last time for our pedicure and said we need to tip this time. We did not get a pedicure the previous time and explained as much to them. We have never not tipped in our life. As we were the only people on the place at this time, we felt as though they were trying to intimidate us. The woman giving the gel manicure was okay, other than that, we have had a terrible experience every time we have went. This was the last straw. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Zero. . stay away went recently and now for the first time in my life have toe nail fungus...btw over 40 ...save urself don't go and tell all read more

I used to love Joyce nails. The awesome music and ambiance and every technician was skilled. But now, this place gets worse every time and I'll never go back. Last time I was there, a very inexperienced girl was doing my nails and when I requested that she clean under my nails of the dark polish she just took off, I had to do it myself because she seemed to be giving her first ever manicure and she didn't ask for assistance. I also asked for her to paint one nail sparkly and when she didn't understand she just kept saying "sorry" ...so today I went again as a last attempt. First of all, the girl who did my pedicure had horrific breath that I could smell from my seat but whatever. next, she kept coughing on my feet, like spit-flying coughing... after she let my feet sit in cold water, she attacked my cuticles in a pretty painful way with the clippers and ended up doing a complete chop job. She ALSO knocked into my nails as she was painting them, and didn't really correct the issue. She was really distracted by the other workers they kept talking and didn't seem to be giving their work the attention it needs. My last complaint is the amount of polish they use. It's as if they are supposed to leave as little as possible. My nails are completely streaky and you can basically aww through them. The only reason this place gets 1 star is because it's clean which I can definitely find elsewhere. Sorry Joyce, with all the competition I won't be back!! read more

Terrible experience today . My sister-in-law is getting married this week so the bridesmaids and I made first time appointments at Joyce nails . They seemed angry when we walked in and it clearly affected our service. I got a spa pedicure that was $35 and it was awful . The rest of the bridesmaids pedicures we're all smudged and the designs looked as if a five-year-old did them. Then it was time for my fill-in and the owner was now doing my nails. she was not nice at all and was actually acting aggressive toward me.she kept pulling my hands and telling me not to touch the table , or my hair .and the UV gel light was not working because of the way my hands were .she kept rolling her eyes at the other workers and they would speak their language while laughing. My group of girls that I was with are very nice and easy-going so for this to happen to us was very shocking and upsetting. The day was supposed to be special for the bride and it ended up being a not so nice day. I will never return to Joyce nails again. not to mention the quality of work is very poor. read more

Came here when they were closing once and they still did my nails. I didn't feel rushed at all even dried them entirely. Service was excellent. I do my eyebrows here and they always do a good detailed job. The prices are really good and the place itself is clean, definitely coming back. read more

Terrible! The girl ripped off my cuticle with the cuticle cutter and blood was all over my nail. She said she would clean it and sanitize it. She just kept painting my nails and getting blood in the nail color she used on me. She painted around the blood and never cleaned by nail. I left with a bloody nail! It was disgusting and unsanitary. I will NEVER go there again. It's disgraceful. read more

NO RESPECT FOR A CUSTOMERS TIME!!! I blame myself. I should have know better, and won't make the mistake again. I came into the salon for a gel fill and spa pedicure today just like the last time I was here about 4 months ago. And just like the last two times I came to this salon, I waited to be seen, which is okay. Then after waiting 15 minutes by the window, the owner moved me to a nail station where I sat. Another customer who came in after me, who was in for polish change was taken ahead of me, which is reasonable as I'm there for a fill. I sit for 20 more minutes at the nail station and then realize the tech helping that customer is the person I usually use so I should have been taken first. Then while I sit getting aggravated, they take 2 ladies, who were together back for pedicures while I waited for service. At this point I said something to the owner who says 'I'm almost done, I'll do your nails'.... He proceeds to finish the client he's with, and while I'm still sitting here, he proceeds to sit at another station and starts to prep another client. This is the third person taken by a nail tech, who came in after me, and taken before me. I blew up- at which point I was moved to a pedicure station 45 minutes after I arrived. I did not get my nails done here as I won't give them any more money. read more

My tech pretended not to understand what I was saying during my fill-in and "forgot" to put a top coat on my nails.Since having my nails filled, I had three break. My pedicure was below average, but I'm giving two stars because the foot was the only heavenly part. I will not return to this salon. read more

Went to new Port Jefferson location to get my eyebrows waxed. The tech did a good job on the left eyebrow however on the right she literately took of half of the eyebrow. When I complained she said it was because my eyebrows "are to light". Will not be going back for another wax here ever. I just hope the eyebrow grows back before my sons baptism next month. Extremely disappointing and upsetting. read more

I just left from there and it took 2 1/2 hours for mani pedi.. Three people doing my nails and couldn't have one consistent person. The guy did the worst job in the world that it looks like a 5 year old kid did it. I will neverr come back here again read more

I will never go back to this place. I have been there a few times and the service was... Ok. Today when I went in , there was one person ahead of me and three people who came in after me. Everyone who came in after me was seated first. Eventually I was sat in a pedicure chair for some reason to have to wait for a half an hour with not one person even looking my way. It was not very busy and half of the staff was standing around talking. Each time I asked how much longer I was told "2 minutes". After 40 minutes of watching the staff stand around the front talking I got up and said I was leaving and couldn't wait any longer. Of course, THEN someone magically became available and was trying to get me to stay. I'm sorry but this place is completely unprofessional with no structure or customer service. The manicures never last more than a day anyway. I will definitely be finding someplace new. read more

My experience here was horrible. I got there and was asked what I want and was not assisted for 25 minuets after I got there. People who walked in were seen before me and did not mention having made an appointment. The women who did my nails was not friendly at all and did not bother asking my opinion on anything she did. She cut my acrylic nail so short to the point where it was barely longer then my actual nail. When I told the women she was cutting them too short she ignored me I repeated myself multiple times and she continues to cut my nails short. When she finished cutting them I told her they were too short and I would like them longer. She disagreed with me and told me they would grow longer but at that point I would need a fill in. She refused to make them longer until my friend told her we would not pay unless she made them longer like I asked. The owner walked over and told me next time I had to tell her I wanted them longer and I told her I did but she did not listen then the owner just walked away. The women then continued to do my nails and make them longer like I wanted but as she did she slammed equipment down and constantly rolled her eyes and was rough with the rest of the manicure. I will not be returning to this nail salon ever again. They did not care that I wasn't pleased with my manicure and did not want to change anything about it. read more
