Kiki's Nails - Color 112 on my nails . Organ red on my toes - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

My go-to nail salon wasn't open when I needed a pedicure on a Sunday, so I walked over to Kiki's hoping they could squeeze me in. The place was busy but not packed, and I was able to get in for a spa pedicure. I choose one that included callous removal which I desperately needed, plus a leg mask and 15 minute massage. My nail tech understood the assignment and went to town on my feet, removing all the rough parts. She gave me an excellent massage, and left my feet and legs feeling like they were brand new. They had a decent selection of colors here as well. After I dried for a while she also wrapped my feet up so that the polish wouldn't get ruined on my walk home. My only complaint is that the space was in need of a cleaning in some areas, but they were also pretty busy so it may just have been that in the rush they weren't able to clean up all the way. read more

I went to this place yesterday and I asked for regular pedicure and I got the worse pedicure ever. The cuticle was not cut properly, my toenail was cut uneven and the painting was just mediocre. I do my pedicure at home sometimes and I do it much better than coming here and spending $26 plus tips. read more

Kikis has good prices, but its a gamble how your nails will turn out. Jenny always does a great job, but everyone else is mediocre. One time I went a girl cut my toe when she was cleaning my cuticles, and another time I asked them to match my polish on my toes, which they did not succeed in. They painted my toenails navy and i picked out the matching gel color, but it ended up purple. I also tried powder gel, and not even a day after the manicure one of my nails looks cracked (see photo). On the plus side, whoever is not busy usually walks around and gives massages while you get your manicure. Staff is friendly, and is conveniently located in Astoria by the NW, but unless Jenny does your nails, who knows how they will turn out. Update: 10 days after my manicure with powder gel and I have chips and cracks in several nails. I've never had gel polish ever chip on me before, what a waste of $45. read more

I found Kiki's by accident. As I drove down 30th Ave, frantically looking for a nail salon, I would have never imagined finding this gem!! After recently moving to NYC, I had gone to my fair share of nightmarish salons in search for my go-to-place and let's just say, I'm so happy with my discovery. The salon is always clean and sparkly. The nail techs are professional, kind, and crafted. They don't oversell or push you to get unnecessary services. However, they guide you toward the best options for nail and skin health. The pedicures are like HEAVEN. If you have time, try the Shea Butter pedicure -- you'll thank me later. I go to Kiki for my nails and she's so sweet. She fast and efficient without feeling rushed. I'm very happy with this salon and plan on being a lifetime client! read more

Usually I go to Kiki for mani and pedi but, depending on who is getting them done will look better or not. Some girls are better than others. Last time I didn't like much. She didn't do a good job. Now I know who I won't let touching my nails again next time I decide to go there read more

I've always walked by, this place is much better than I thought! Ignore the $$$ price symbol, it's equally priced to other salons in the area. I found it very clean, with accommodating staff, and I love the layout of the pedicure area-- curtains between each seat give such a nice level of privacy and relaxation. Really strong machine chairs too at the pedicure station. Carmen did an amazing job cleaning my cuticles and was meticulous. Thank you Carmen. $35 color gel $24 basic pedicure $38 green tea spa pedicure, came with so many minutes of massage time and hot stone. I love that. They also have a huge selection of special spa pedicures which I liked. Nice range of pricing. I got lucky and walked in on a Thursday midday no problem, but would suggest calling to make an appointment as they seem to get busy. read more

Whenever I'm back in town and need to get my nails done, Kiki's is usually the first place that comes to mind. I stopped by one day right when they opened and was seated right away. They do get busy so I suggest coming early or calling in advance before heading over. They have tons of manicures and pedicures to choose from. I went with the Regular Manicure ($12) and Regular Pedicure ($20). It's really hit or miss in terms of how quick they work but it's usually a solid job. Even with a regular manicure, my nails last a good week or two before I remove the polish; and the regular pedicure lasts even longer. They are reasonably priced but there are plenty of other spots in the area that are cheaper. I like the color selection they have here. They also recently revamped their spa chairs, so it's a lot more comfortable now! I wish they had a stamp card for loyal customers as an incentive to come back. But all in all, Kiki's does the job for me! read more

Kiki's Nails - Menu Prices (as of December 2019). - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I have been going to Kiki's nail salon for over five years and have had my nails done by Kiki herself several times. She always does a wonderful job, which was why I was not only shocked by the experience today, but mortified at how she handled it. I patiently waited for a gel manicure for about 10-15 minutes, which was not an issue at all. She then asked me to sit and began doing my nails. I was done with the entire gel manicure in no more than TEN minutes. She had cut and "filed" my nails in 30 seconds. She painted them in 5 minutes and I was done. The gel was thick and had gathered at the tip of my nails, giving them a duck bill appearance. I was shocked because I know how diligent she usually is. If she was rushing because she had other customers, that's unacceptable. Tell me to come back when you have more time. I am paying $30 for the service and expect it to be done right. What made the experience even worse, when I asked her to fix it she replied "I don't think there's anything wrong." I said ok but it's too thick for my taste it looks like I have duck bill fingers. She replied "I've been doing nails for 16 years I don't do sloppy work!" Well Kiki, there's apparently a first for everything, because that manicure was UNACCEPTABLE. I asked her to take it off and do a regular manicure, to which her reply was "I am not giving you your money back because I did my job." Quite frankly, I don't care about the money I just want the manicure done right from the start. And how do you do that? By taking longer than 10 minutes to do a gel manicure. Needless to say, after 5+ years of loyalty, Kiki's nail salon will never see me, my sister, my mother, my grandmother, or any of my friends ever again. As the owner she should take more PRIDE in her work, so she could be an EXAMPLE to her workers....instead of ARGUING with customers. Kiki needs to learn how to be a PROFESSIONAL and how to treat customers with RESPECT. I am extremely disappointed. read more

I've been going to Kikis for a few years and generally all the ladies there do an amazing job, but I've also gotten 2 of the worst manicures ever there too. It really depends on who's doing your nails that day. If I were you I would steer clear of Obi, she's very nice but both times I had her she thinned out my nails like crazy, used the machine instead if soaking off my gel, and even used the machine on my cuticles (see picture for the damage done). The manicure itself was pretty bad too, and she left my nails splotchy with an uneven top coat (see pic). I thought it was a one time thing, but this is what happened both times with her. It's going to take weeks for my nails to recover. This is why I'm giving Kiki's a 3. It shouldn't be a gamble getting a quality manicure for $35. read more

Had to write up this review, as I was very impressed! Since moving to the 30th ave area, I tried out quite a few places, (Nailberry, Athena's, Queen A Nail, Silvias Nails). I got a pedicure ($20) and gel manicure ($30), which are a couple dollars more than what you may pay for in other places in Astoria, and actually cheaper than some of the places I mentioned above. Let's face it, ladies, 30th Ave is going up like the rent prices. But! this is a clean establishment with lots of colors to choose from, and I like how they organized the gel colors so they don't seem overwhelming to you when picking a color out! Jenny in the glasses knows her craft, and I was not pressured to get another service like massage or whatever. I am happy with my rose gold, perfectly square-shaped nails (3 days no sign of chipping) and will be coming back! So happy to finally have a go-to nail salon. Kiki's is worth it, hands down :) read more

Kiki's Nails - gel mani $30 A31 color - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

The owner Kiki DESTROYED my nails! I came in for acrylic extensions and showed her a photo of exactly what I wanted. What she gave me were HORRIBLE short pointy nails that looked like baby vampire teeth. When I told her that wasn't what I wanted nor did it resemble the photo I showed her, she got very upset and told me she'd take off the acrylic nails so I can see someone else. At this point, Kiki got very aggressive, rushed through getting the acrylic tips off my nails, burned my pinky nail with the filing machine, and filed my nails down so thin that I now cannot even use nail polish. Everything hurts my paper-thin nails now. I regret ever stepping foot into that nail salon. Such AWFUL service from the OWNER herself. She even left acrylic all over my nails. The photos attached are of the final result. read more

Great pedicures, always happy with the service provided. Thanks Kiki's! I'll always keep coming back because of the quality given!

I came in and asked how long is the wait for a pedicure and the lady tells me "just 5 minutes" and I end up waiting 30 minutes without anyone checking on me only to be told that i need to wait for few more minutes when I approached the lady again. You should just be honest upfront and say there is a long wait if i come without an appointment. I just wasted my time waiting for nothing. read more

The tech destroyed my nails. I came in for a French ombré gel had gel on my nails to remove it the tech used the machine... I had no idea how much harm this can do to my nails. Took me almost 2 months to recover them back to normal. They became uneven and very thin kept breaking it just didn't feel healthy. I liked the color a lot and it lasted for 3 weeks but next time I'll ask not to use the machine on me although they should know better... read more

A little disappointed. The lady was very friendly but I didn't like the way she cut my cuticles. They were peeling after I left and looked awful. I was going to look past that but then my gel manicure chipped after 6 days. I usually have a great experience so this was one off. The service can be inconsistent. It depends on who you get. read more

Monika shaped my nails and another lady painted them. The shape and color were very nice. But an acrylic fill is 40$ and the gel color was 25$. I thought that was excessive, everywhere I've gone the gel color was always included in the fill but what ever. They were nice, periodic back massages during the session, that was a plus. read more

Just had my nails done. No wait... No hassle... No attitude... I guess I am not at Athena's Nails........... I just had a very nice experience at Kiki Nail's. Owner greeted me at the door with a smile. I asked her how long the wait. She said no wait. Service tech came over right away and got to work. It was an efficient manicure. The tech did clip the edge of my cuticle. No big deal. She apologized and fixed the problem. I got 3 neck massages. Yes three. Not one or two, but three. It was heaven. They were only 60 seconds long, but it hit the spot. I have had better manicures, but the overall experience makes up for it. I will be going back in a couple of weeks. I was very happy with service that I paid in cash. I never do. I wanted to save the owner the 2 or 3% CC usage charge. I am sure that during busy times it might be crazy. I never go during these times so it was very refreshing having a nice experience during slow periods. BYE BYE ATHENA.....THANK YOU KIKI............. read more

I had the pleasure of having my nails done by the owner of Kiki's nails, Kiki herself.

I've been on a hunt for a good nail in Astoria for three years, I get a gel mani and pedi twice a month, and honestly I've tried everywhere I truly enjoyed my services today and found my new go to nail salon. I liked the clean atmosphere, didn't feel rushed or felt as if the nail polish was washed down by nail polish remover which I feel any other nail salon does. $30 for a gel manicure which is average I usually spent $25 in shitty nail salons (only would go because it's literally downstairs from my house) So for the extra $5 it's defiantly worth it. Lucy did a great job! read more

Very very disappointed in this place! I just moved to Astoria and I was really hoping that this will be my salon go to, but unfortunately that's not the case. Went there two weeks ago and got a powder gel for 40$, with til 45$. First of all very pricey, but I didn't mind hoping that they will stay good 3-4 weeks as lady said. Lady that did my nails, not mentioning her name, was not friendly and didn't care to do good job. I was not really happy how my nails looked but still tried to mot be really picky. What really made me upset is that my nails broke completely after just 5 days!! And let me mention that usually regular manicure stays longer than a week on my nails! I'm also showing u photos, don't forget, powder gel after only 5 days. Two stars only because of clean and nice salon. read more

I was a loyal customer of Kiki's Nails for seven months until the owner ruined it for me. While most technicians are talented and kind, they are often forced to rush the manicures and pedicures, especially during busy hours. I've witnessed the owner telling them to hurry up on several occasions and found this quite rude and insulting. The last time I went to Kiki I booked powder and pedicure services. When the pedicure color the technician selected clashed with my powder color (I asked for it to match as close as possible), I kindly asked if I could do a quick toe polish change before I paid and left. She changed the color to a more matching polish; it took all of two minutes. When I went to pay, the owner charged me for powder nails, a pedicure AND a toe polish change (an extra $8). I could accept this if I came back the next day, but to charge for a polish change the same day I am already paying for services is quite ridiculous, especially for a consistent every 2-3 week customer. While $8 is not a lot of money, I want to go to a place that appreciates my loyalty and business. There are too many nail salons in Astoria to justify this treatment. I will never return. read more

This is a good looking spot to get your nails done if you are in the neighborhood, the staff is friendly and they have average prices, I had a french mani for $25 including the tip, but I was very satisfied with the results. Ask for Lucy to get a great service if you go! ;) read more

I've been here multiple times for gel manicures which always came out well... I recently switched to tips with the snyergy gel and I'm so glad I did. It is a bit pricey but really lasts long.

Always a great job never a disappointment I've been coming here for 16 years always a success

I don't get my nails done often but after getting an acrylics set before Christmas I decided to try to keep up with it. I am VERY specific about my acrylics, I get the coffin shape which I've found is one of the more difficult shapes to get right, I also despise when the acrylic is too thick or when nails curve more to one side than the other. After reading some reviews and looking at pictures I decided on Kiki's to get my fill, let me also mention that my old acrylics were in nasty shape at this point. I walked in at 12 on a Wednesday with no appointment and was taken care of right away, even though you are technically supposed to make an appointment here for any fake nail maintenance. I had Rosa and she was absolutely amazing. She had fantastic attention to detail and nailed the exact shape I wanted in no time. I'm not kidding my nails are so perfectly shaped and thinned that they look like I grew them myself. Moving on to the polish job, I picked a very sheer color that could have very easily gone streaky and Rosa applied it like a pro and even did a second coat without me asking AND asked if I wanted a third. Salons leaving patchy and streaky polish jobs drives me insane so I was so pleased with this. I also have very long nails so there was a lot of room for error there. They take cards here but only accept cash tips so be aware of that. I didn't know this and Kiki (the owner) who was also very attentive, was happy to let me run to the ATM next door. On top of all of this awesome stuff I was also massaged not once but three times during the hour I was there. Kiki's is by far the best nail salon I've been to in Astoria and I will certainly be a regular customer from now on. Recommend Kiki's to EVERYONE! read more

I've been going to Kiki's since they opened so this review was a long time coming. I've taken my mom, other members of my family, and friends here. Although I do feel that it has become slightly overrated due to the influx of hipsters in Astoria (along with everything else in Astoria), it is still my go to nail salon. Kiki's is a place that is to the point. They are friendly to be professional, but not overly friendly. The girls working are generally quiet and serious. I wonder if they are asked to strictly keep it professional. They don't ask questions and harass you, or speak in Korean like they do in most places. Most of the girls are Hispanic so that might also be why? Can I also add that they give little massages in between manis and pedis? My parents like a block away so I make sure I stop by for a mani/pedi when I'm in there area. Which is usually every weekend. A mani/pedi goes for $24 which is a bit pricey if you ask me, but you're paying for cleanliness and service. I can pay $16 for a mani/pedi at a salon in my neighborhood in Fresh Meadows but it just isn't the same. If you are looking for a reliable nail salon, I would go to Kiki's. I got my wedding nails done here, regular mani/pedis and gel manis. It's well worth it! read more
