It has always been mid, but today they really screwed up my nails. 4 hours after getting my nails done I noticed the gel nail polish was peeling completely off my nail, in one piece - mind you I didn't do any crazy activity to justify the nail polish to come off. I had to go back same day to get it fixed and the nail tech was kind enough to redo 4 nails. It's been now 3 hours since my second visit today and I see the nail polish come off other nails. I'm very annoyed, and don't have the time to be going back and forth. From the pics you can see my nails look like s* and they are not 1 day old. read more

This is a very disappointing nail salon and a complete rip-off. I was charged $150 just for a manicure and pedicure, and that was before tip. The service was absolutely not worth that price. If you ask them for advice on what's better, they will always suggest the more expensive option, not because it's better for you, but because it's easier and more profitable for them. For example, regular nail polish on toes is often better than gel, but they push gel anyway simply because they don't want to deal with the hassle of drying time. They also act like they know how to do nail designs, especially sequins or detailed work -- but they don't. Don't be fooled. There may be only one girl in the entire salon who actually knows what she's doing. The rest clearly don't, yet they confidently charge extra for "designs" that you could honestly do yourself at home. On top of that, they constantly suggest services you don't need, just to add more charges. Everything feels like a setup to make you spend more. This was my second time going there, only because it's close to my house. I was disappointed the first time and thought maybe I just got the wrong girl. The second time, my disappointment went through the roof. I will not be going back, and I would strongly suggest others don't either. If you do go, know exactly what you want and don't fall into their trap of suggestions. read more

There pricing based on there job. Horrible done nails for way too much money I never gotten a filling where they just glue the lifting nail back on and one coat of powder on top and straight paint it. $65 dollars and the technique done was worth $20 dollars IF THAT. The shaping was terrible and I tried to tell the lady 3 times all my nails looked slanted as she was getting frustrated with me for telling her !!!! It's not my fault you can't file nails. and I asked for square and I'm not sure what shape it was either square or round in between my nails went from being in the long side to short of how many times she had to fix the shape. The nail polish itself came out too thick looks lumpy. Way overpriced for the job being done. Will never come here again! read more

My daughter and I walked in requesting gel manicures. We received exceptional service & high quality nail care. The attention to detail was amazing! Employees were especially welcoming & accommodating ! ! We will most certainly be returning! 100% high quality service! read more

I don't know what happened to this place but it went from being my go-to salon for 6+ years to now a place I avoid. I walked in last week mid-day to see if it had improved, and there were no customers being waited on. There were 4 or 5 employees gathered about the customer waiting area watching TikToks on their phones and I felt unwelcome. I asked for a regular manicure, the woman was rude and tried to insist that I get gel. She pointed at a chair and just said 'sit.' I walked towards the polish wall to choose a color and went with my gut, which told me to leave. I mumbled something about going to the bank and then I left. I won't be back. I should have known better than to try again since all 3 of my favorite manicurists no longer work there. I wish I knew where they have gone so I could follow them. read more

I have been coming here for two years and I think I'm finally done. This is my third time in a row getting gel where it chips (multiple nails) within 3 days of getting them done. Last time I went in I also asked how long it would be to get a pedicure and the woman just said "pick a color." I said well how long would it be? Again, "pick a color" I said I get that! But I'm asking you how long? And she said "you don't have to wait just get a color." .. so i got my color and she sat me in the pedicure chair for 15 minutes you could have just said it was a 15 minute wait! I think I'm finally over this place read more

This is the quietest place to get pampered. I love it, everyone is literally just concentrating on their clients. They are not talking loudly on their cell phones or with other workers. I think just found my new favorite place. It's a large space and it is very clean plus they have their air conditioner on. I just walked out of another place because they only keep their doors open and the place had a lot of annoying flies. I wanted nothing to do with that. Karma may be a little more expensive but it is so worth it. read more

Karma Nails & Spa - They have a great selection of nail polish but beware one brand cost $3 more. For a Mani pedi that will set u back an additional $6. - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

This one star rating is based off of three visits to Karma. The first visit was lackluster, but no major issues. The second visit was perturbing as I watched the nail technician's snot drip and run out of her nose like a faucet the whole time she did my nails. I decided to give this salon one last chance... mistake. The nail technician failed to start removing my gel polish in time... so... in a hurry... she filed the polish away. She filed my nail bed down so much that my nails started to break off the very next day. I will never go back to Karma again. Also, $70 for a gel manicure and regular pedicure is way too much for such unacceptable service. Please do better. read more

I've been coming to this place that's in my neighbor hood almost every two weeks since Jan. 2019 for the gel manicure. The atmosphere is always nice and friendly and the staff is very accommodating. Once day over the summer I came in for a gel manicure and a storm came through with down pours and I didn't have an umbrella. They were kind enough to give me one they had in the back. I kindly returned it on a sunny day. Also no that you get points for every dollar spent they can be used towards any service. Tip in cash only. Thanks ladies. I get so many compliments on my nails read more

Every time I go there I get some lousy excuse as to why I have to wait. They just opened and 1 person was in for a pedicure. It's as if the staff doesn't want to work there and I get a look of "what are you doing here bothering me?" I required a soak off of a powder dip and I just read another comment not to get powder done there. So another time I'm leaving without service. Don't go there. read more

Honestly I can't say enough good things about this nail salon I just love it . Every nail tech is polite and does a great job. I moved out of the neighborhood but still find myself returning and when I have gone elsewhere I always regret it. The space is simple but so clean. They will accommodate you if your nails chipped etc and will not charge you for a touch up. The quality and care is so worth it. read more

They are super nice here but are very overpriced and don't do a great job. I just spent $70 ( plus an additional tip ) to get hard gel nails done. After 5 days one of my nails had a pretty bad chip and the other nails were starting to peel. I needed my nails to last 2 weeks because I was going out of town and figured a gel with acrylic powder would last at least that long. Nope! I had to go in and get it fixed. I only fixed the one nail that looked the worst and figured the other nails might be able to hold up another 6 or 7 days. Not only did they charge me an additional $10 to fix the nail that chipped after 5 days, more nails chipped the following day. Almost $100 later and I have to leave town with chipped nails. Will not be going back. read more

I wish I can give this place less than one star. I came to get a full set and a pedicure on Thursday morning on July 13th, 2017. When I arrived the staff greeted me and I waited less than 10 minutes to be helped. Everything went fine during my manicure. The lady took her time and asked me if I was happy with the way thumbnails looked. An hour later when it was was time for my pedicure that place started to get busy quickly. She rushed my pedicure. I was extremely upset in the way she did my feet. I hoped for the best. During the weekend I felt pain in my toes and tingling sensation. On Sunday July 16th I noticed my big toe on the right side was red and swollen and so was my other toe on the left. Yesterday Monday July 17th I couldn't walk. I realized I had a severe infection in both toes. I'm angry and lost for words. This is disgusting and ridiculous. 15 years of getting pedicures I've never experienced an infection. I will definitely never come here again! read more

Love this place they are so quick and skilled here. They removed my tips powder set for free as the last place I went to did such a poor job on them. As well as that my pedicure and new powder tips set my total came to only $65 before tip. Really happy with the service here. read more

Karma Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

I'm not sure why the reviews are so bad. I walked into Karma Nails & Spa on Sunday afternoon with no appointment and got a gel manicure and pedicure. It was one of the best I've ever gotten! Both technicians took their time and made sure I was comfortable and happy with their work. I opted for the Green Tea Spa pedicure, which was a bit pricey but overall worth it! I had an ingrown toenail that was coming back and my technician removed it carefully & efficiently. No pain & very clean! They were both also very polite and kind. It ended up being $35 for gel mani + $25 for pedi + $20 upcharge for the green tea spa pedi upgrade. Overall I'm very pleased! read more

Treat your customers with kindness! I came in for a fill in for tips and I got just ripped off. They don't use anything but powder and they say they charge 10$ extra for cuticles. HOW can you live with yourself?! What business is this? I came here a few times but this is my last one. Every time I came it was horrible. Don't waste your money! read more

Hands down one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. I was in the neighborhood and came here for the first time yesterday for a gel manicure. -Space is open and clean -Staff is friendly and attentive -Maya was my manicurist she was very careful, made my nails look really clean and fresh and paid a lot of attention to detail & made me feel pampered. She also have me a quick shoulder massage which felt amazing after a long work day. I wish I lived closer to this place it would def be my go to nail salon. read more

Karma Nails & Spa - Gel manicure by Maya. Simple, clean & fresh summer nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

I'm so happy that I found this place! This nail salon is hidden In Sunnyside queens and not so far from where I live. I've been looking all over queens for a very good nail salons for months now and I can't believe this great salon exists in queens! My nail tech lady is Jenny and she was amazing! She took her time on me and made sure my nails looks flawless. After getting my nails done she gave me a quick shoulder massage. Loved it ! Their prices are great and reasonable. You bet I'll be back every two weeks! read more

Karma Nails & Spa - Gel Color in cashmere wrap - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

As a long time client of this place, I can tell you the past 2 times my experience was horrible. They have completely new staff after the Covid closure. Very unprofessional and sloppy. I had appointment and still had to wait 45 minutes (if I had not been a long time client, I would have walked out after the first 10 min). The quality of the service was very poor, and the price was 15% increased from a month ago. Bottom line: poor service, unqualified personal and higher than usual prices. They just lost another client. read more

Karma is probably one of the best nail salons that I have ever visited. My friend and I were still exploring Sunnyside and decided to treat ourselves to a mani/pedi. As I've stated in previous reviews, I'm not a fan of pedis but I decided why not and got one, anyway. We were taken pretty quickly and sat to get our tootsies taken care of. While the girls who do your nails don't chat much, they're total sweethearts and take good care of you. Hot stones are complimentary, which was nice. They did a great job on my feet! Afterward, we moved to get our hands taken care of. Again, they took excellent care and my manicurist had STRONG hands. She gave me a hand/forearm massage and I was in absolute heaven. She was smaller than me but her grip was that of a man's! After our nails were completely done, we sat at the drying station. Very relaxing atmosphere from start to finish. These girls know what they're doing. They also offer gel manis, for those of you that tend to go that route. And you get a nice little shoulder rub while your nails are drying. read more

They take their time, detailed and thorough. I love this place for the most relaxing time !!

1/5 so bad i'd give it a 0 i asked for gel nails and got acrylics then they made me pay $75 only for it to break in 2 days?!? the lady scammed me she gave me acryilc and priced it for gel thats so unfair i knew something was sketch when she asked if it was my first time like what and they dont even look good?!? 0/5 i better come back and get them re done for free!!!! read more

Karma Nails & Spa - THIS IS BROKEN AND BAD AND NOT EVEN GEL - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

I had my first gel manicure the Subday before Thanksgiving. I was very happy with the experience: good communication, friendly staff, clean facility, no cuts, beautiful job, and soft music. But, my gel manicure did not age well. One pinkie nail was majorly chipped by Thursday (3 days later), and by Sunday (a week later) the edges were wearing down. I may try them again because I'm not sure if it's because I chose a glittery polish which may have been clumpier. read more

You can truly relax here when you are getting your mani-pedi. This is not one of those chop shop spa places they careless about how their customers feel but do business first. This is on my top goto list in LIC and Sunnyside. Yes I actually go there from LIC for the great service. The staff here are very nice, detail oriented, attentive, and they aren't in a rush to be done with you so they can take the next customer. A lot of other places I've tried aren't as clean and sanitized as this one. Hot stone massage for a regular pedi. They also let you soak in the warm water for a while before they start to work on you. You will like your experience there. I also tried their chair massage. Oh yeah they do a great job too. I suffer from neck, shoulder, and back pain from working long hours in the office. From time to time I also get a chair massage from here. One cons: it's on the expensive end of the spectrum for a location in Queens but you get what you pay for. read more

I love this place. The ladies are super nice here and it's super quite. All of them know what they are doing and really want the best for all their clients. They are very thorough and listen to all your requests. The place is super clean and well maintained. Also, their manis are only $10! They also have a membership card so the more you come the more rewards you get! They give a nice back massage if you get a mani while your nails are drying which is a plus~ Be sure to tip them well! They do an amazing job! Make an appointment because they get super busy. read more

I came to get my nails done today. I came in with long almond shaped nails. I asked her to cut up just a tiny bit keep them almond shape because I want them to remain long, instead she cut them in a square shape super short and then try to fix the situation by filing it down into an almond shape which she couldn't get because it was already too short so I now have short round shaped nails. I had to then give her direction to fix four of my nails because they were lopsided. All the while still afraid that she was just going to Shorten them even further. I know it's my fault because I should've asked if she could do them from the beginning I just assumed that they were all able to do it especially when I said what I wanted when I walked in. I've done my nails here before and they have botched it up once before. Other than that I've done it here pretty often and gotten what I wanted. The woman that did my nails the time before this with the long almond shape nails, did a great job. Unfortunately for me she wasn't there today. What I hate the most is that then She rushes me to review my nails when I know that they are not even and I am just trying to get comfortable for a service I am paying for and needed to at least be adequate. I paid for the service she gave me a manicure. Not the best job, but I still left her a tip because I understand we are under a Covid environment. But not happy with the result. read more

After trying multiple nail salons around Woodside and Sunnyside, I have had the best gel manicure here- my technician Sabrina was incredibly attentive to detail and gentle, qualities that I have found difficult to find in other salons in the area. The price is slightly higher than other area salons, but I find that the quality of the work definitely makes it worth it. The interior is sparse in decor but very clean, great if you want a relaxing, quiet experience. I highly recommend this salon! read more

I was around the area and decided to get my nails done. This place looked really clean and the workers were nice. However, I'm not too pleased with my manicure. My nails were cut too short and Not evenly cut. Secondly, after my nails were done, I noticed that the nail polish was pretty shitty quality. They didn't even apply it nicely ! I love the Essie brand and always use it, however the store must've added alcohol into the nail polish to make it last longer. Really disappointed. read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT get powder done here. They did a good job with the shaping, but aside from this they messed up the powder completely. I spent over 2 hours at the salon because they applied it wrong and then just continued to apply coats without care about my nail health. Then once I wanted to remove it it took me over two hours of soaking in acetone and I finally had to go to a nail place with the electronic tool to get it buffed and removed properly. This was a waste of money and time, and a bad decision for my nails. read more

I have gone to Karma a few times, first for a pedicure and it was ok, nothing great, but ok. The staff seemed friendly and nice. Then I did a gel manicure for the holidays in December and it lasted about one week, before the nails just fell off. I decided to do powder the next time, and it took forever, I probably spend 3 hrs in the salon and it felt like the girl didnt know exactly what to do. It was my first time doing a powder manicure, so I didnt know the process either and just practiced patience. The nails looked ok and lasted about 10 days before breaking off. The removal of the powder was done horribly, instead of soaking my nails in acetone first, the girl used the electronic grinder and torally ruined my nails by grinding too much. All my nails started to break and after 2 weeks of the removal, hurt every day and are super sensitive to touch. I would not recommend this salon and will never go back there! read more

Karma Nails & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Sunnyside, New York

I started coming to Karma since they opened. They were always overpriced and it seems everyone in there acts as if they don't speak english. In their defense, they probably don't but there are a few girls that are the senior workers that DEFINITELY understand and pretend not to. I have spent well over ten thousand here in the last 5 years mostly holding onto what was in the beginning and what became after. And before I explain the problems, rest assured I am a generous generous tipper. And 30 or 40 dollar tips were usual-I worked off tips in my earlier years. The problem now in the last year Two years that I have noticed is huge. The uv gel pedicures and manicures do not last. The place is an oven: they must make enough between overbooking and overcharging people. They cut my sisters big tor wide open where she was infected and had to get meds (thank god she works at a pharmacy). The spa pedicures, which I usually get, are 65-70 and the massage that is included is a joke. The water is never warm enough. This winter was brutal. As hot as they keep it in the summer, its a winter igloo in here during the winter season. I have smooth feet that are often complimented and once in a while i will pay a baffling ten extra for a callus remover--only for nothing to be done. Various girla just stare off into space, even after I ask them oh ao gently to hold the pumis a certain way. I finally chose to write this review and this will probably be the last time i come here. I made an appt an hour and a half ago and they told me to come in at 5:15 and I am still waiting. The chair they put me in is broken and does not mechanically lean back. They have put so much cheap tape on the remotes on the massage machine, one must struggle to turn on the remote and you can't view the functions. Compared to the other nail salons in the neighborhood alone, this is terrible. No one has their massage chair on. Nobody at all. It seems this was the plan all along. Final notes: there are so many new and just as fancy places in sunnyside and over a few blocks in woodside that have people willing to listen, turn on the heat and AC when necessary; a nail salon that will take care of its long time clients with more personal treatment and also treat new clients with more than a nod. Massage chairs you can see and use! An AC in these longer than normal summer temperatures. Maybe shut off the commercial radio and play some calming spa /nail salon music? For their prices these are bar minimals we can ask for. There was a time I worshipped this place. I guess after some years, they feel they are doing well enough to forget the welcoming manner they exerted when they first opened. Because I can't possibly expect they are still getting the kind of 40 percent gratuities I was giving them. read more

I like this location a lot, it is easily accessible on queens blvd. plenty of metered parking across the street under the 7 train line. Karma is a very clean, well lit place. The massage chairs are pretty cool if you figure out how some who what feels good for you and how to work the kinda beat up remote. My wife and I have been coming here for awhile and I am always pleased. Nyama is the woman that I always request, she takes her time doing my pedicure and give me a very good Hot stone massage and shoulder massage. It's really worth every dollar. I always tip well, at least 6 to 8 dollars and that's assured to always get me top service here. she always remembers my name. I would recommend this place to anyone. Treat yourselves my friends!! read more

I used to come here simply because it's convenient however the last two times I was here they over charged my credit card. After the first time I figured it was a mistake, but after two times I started to think it was on purpose. When I called they refused to fix it over the phone, I had to come there to have the difference refunded back. Aside from this problem there is only like one person that has done my nails I have ever been satisfied with. They get busy and they rush everything. My gel manicure would start to lift around the edges within 4-5 days. I started going to Grace Nails and they are so much better!! read more

I've always seen this place on the boulevard and thought, why not give them a try especially with all these great reviews. Originally when I got my nails done there I was going to post a picture with my great review, as the two people who did my nails were nice, fast and from the naked eye they looked great. I am on day 5 now of a nail infection. As someone who not only worked at a nail salon but frequently visits them, I have never, ever gotten a nail infection. The extreme pain that I have felt the past 5 days I would not wish on anyone. So, they may be nice, sure the nails look great, but know that you may be walking in with the intent to get gel nails and walk out with an infection. read more

I came here for a gel manicure. I was surprised to find the price $35 rather than the normal $20-$25 in the neighborhood, but I decided to give it a try. I am rating this place a 1 star because they did a terrible job shaping my nails, the gel polish was applied un-even so that I could see the brush lines and in the end the polish began chipping two days after my manicure. I would not go here again. read more

This place is expensive: it was $65ish dollars for a regular pedicure and gel manicure. Their regular pedicure isn't totally basic, they did a few extra things like callous removal. The woman took her time too, it was probably about an hour in total just for the pedicure. The manicure was similarly slow, although I thought the polish was applied a little sloppy. My nails also broke and chipped super quickly, within a day or two. For gel? No. read more

Hands down the best Nail Salon in Sunnyside, although it's a bit on the pricey side, it's definitely worth it. I troop it from the Bronx to get my nails done so you know that's saying something about this place. The place is so cleanand the staff is super friendly. It's always a relaxing visit when I'm here. Yesterday (8/14/14) I got a gel manicure and got a pedicure done all for $60.00 (+$10 tip) They did a great job with everything, plus they give you a mini massage while your nails dry. read more

Really great service! Clean efficient, quick, kind service...my main reason for giving this 3 and not a full 5 is the pricing. I am not a frugal/ cheap person however 35$ for a gel manicure in Sunnyside!? Outrageous. I have been residing in Astoria for 3 years and never have paid that much for a gel mani. EVER. Astoria prices cheaper than Sunny side!? Unheard of but made possible with this place. Of course I expect to be overcharged yes in Manhattan...but Queens, Sunnyside of all places? Not cool :/ Next time I will try Lotus around the corner, maybe they are more in tune with their location as well as realistic ! :) read more

I love Karma without reservation - let me count the ways: 1. The atmosphere is flawless: the salon is clean, relaxing, and though it can get busy on the weekends, I've never had more than a 10 minute wait for a walk-in visit. Also, they use completely sealed sets of tools for every customer - phew! 2. The staff are skilled and truly wonderful - one helped me pick out a nail color and agreed that it didn't suit me after a single coat, and we chose another one together! She was amazing. 3. The price is totally affordable, especially relative to Manhattan salon prices. For the quality of the service here, it's worth paying $2 or $3 more than other Queens nail salons. 4. They give you a short but great back massage after they lead you to the drying station. It's a much appreciated perk of going to Karma! read more
