I've been coming here for a few years now and I've always left happy and satisfied with my nails. I don't really do my nails often and I usually opt for something simple and they really do a great job of helping me choose colors and shapes and overall just helping me figure out what nails would be best on me. Be sure to call ahead for a reservation if you don't want to be waiting long. They are also very affordable for what I think is great quality! read more

I stopped by around 5pm and Stars Nail Shop. It was really nice that they can squeeze me in for a mani and pedi. I came in and it didn't look super clean but the lady was nice and attentive. I told her that I called ahead of time for a mani and pedi and she quickly set up the foot soak for me. They used a disposable bag to keep clean which I liked. The water was hot and the jets were perfect. The chair provided massage controller so that was great. I actually changed my mind with regular nail polish and chose to go with gel so my mani and pedi can last longer. The pedicure was good and quick. I saw her take out a tray of tools in the sanitizing box. She scrubbed my feet with a pumice rock and I hope it was brand new but I didn't see. The best part was the foot and leg massage. I would go back for pedicure. For my manicure, I told the lady that my nails were on the thinner side and she said she can add a layer of foundation to help strengthen my nails. I agreed to do it but she never mention how much it cost. She put 2 layers of the gel foundation and then filed it down. She was very rough when it came to cutting my cuticles and the skin around my fingers. My right hand pointer finger was red and i felt a little bit of pain but it was bearable. I chose this chocolate brown color and there's a tiny bit of dust or something on 2 of my nails but it's okay, it's not too noticeable. My bill came out to be a total of $85. I would only come back for a pedicure if I really needed a place to go to. Not sure about the cuticle cutting because it was really fast and rough. I feel that the place can be a little more clean and updated. Prices should be more clear if they're adding different services and products on. Overall, it's a 2.5- 3 star establishment to me. read more

L & Y Nails - Badly cut cuticle - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was excited to do my nails as I was refer here by my friend. Helen did my nails. I wants a nude almond shape acrylic nails and she did an okay job. Base on the review I had high hopes for my nails but I think she was having a bad day or something. She didn't push my cuticle. She just file my cuticles and nails. when she was filing my nail it accidentally filed my skin... it causes my skin to bleed. She didn't filled the edge closely with acrylic but she was nice and tried her best. Due to covid I'm letting some of the things slide but this shouldn't happen. I don't do my nails often .... She didn't even give my hands a massage. She was kinda rushing my nails but there was no customer. I liked my nails but my cuticle hurts ... you can tell on the pictures. My overall nails looks good but if you look at it closely there are definitely stops she missed and can do better. read more

Today was first time visiting Stars Nail Shop and I decided to go big or go home. I took a big leap of faith here by requesting a full UV gel set with a French ombré look from someone who had never worked on my nails before. Gutsy move by me, but it definitely was worth it! I made a same-day appointment with Winnie, as recommended in many of the reviews on here. When I showed up a half hour early, she graciously took me before my appointment time. She looked at one "inspiration" photo of what I was looking for and began working on my nails immediately. She gave me the exact shape, length, and design that I was looking for which pleasantly surprised me. I really am so impressed with how these turned out. In total, it took about 90 minutes which isn't bad for a brand new set. The salon itself is a no-frills, mom and pop type of place but don't underestimate their work. The staff also wear masks, and there are plastic drapes placed at the mani stations between the customer and nail tech. The cherry on top was the price. I paid $60 for nails that other salons would easily charge $85+ for. I can't wait to come back for my next appointment and see what Winnie can create for me. read more

L & Y Nails - Full Set of UV Gel Nails - Pink French Ombré - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Excellent customer service and positive attitudes, especially if you like to chat in Cantonese/Taishanese. Large, clean nail salon with 2-3 trained professionals offering manicures, pedicures, facials, and waxing. Come around 3pm on a weekday if you don't want to wait, otherwise it gets a bit busy. Good prices too. $20 for a pedicure in a comfortable massage chair (includes the washing, cleaning, massaging briefly, and painting the toes). It got busy pretty fast, expect to wait as needed. Be sure to tip generously. Overall, very nice experience. read more

They are open and running. You have to wear your mask. The staff wears masks and they also work behind plastic. They make sure everything is sanitary and precautions are taken. I personally love getting my nails done by the owner. She does them beautifully! I also have gotten my eyebrows waxed. Perfectly done and I barely get red when they are finished. The prices are reasonable. I suggest giving them a try if you in need or a service. read more

Came here for a regular pedi and gel mani because my nails needed work! For $40 together, you can't beat the price! The woman doing my nails was really nice and I think she did a great job. I opted for something very simple so I can't comment on other things but I left as a happy customer! read more

Went there on a Friday morning and had to wait 20min. Their phone wasn't working so I was a walk-in. I did a regular pedi (brought my own nail polish) and a UV builder gel mani with gel color (on the natural nail, no nail tips). Total was 68$ and gave $25 in total for tips because I loved their service and work. They are not like the other nail polish places that are unwelcoming. A little smile and cheer goes a long way and they gave me more than that. I'm not sure who did my nails but I'm guessing she was the lady in charge. No complaints on how my nails turned out. And will definitely come back for a full. read more

I'm always up to trying new places that have these crazy nail designs that are trending, so this place seemed to have hundreds to choose from! My interested was peaked, so I walked in and decided to try it and tack on a pedicure too just to clean them up. The overall feel of the place is your average nail salon vibe- nothing to truly separate it from the rest; nothing memorable really stood out. The TV's were off and all I heard was the traffic outsideThe only thing that did stick out, was how COLD air was!! I understand I walked in as soon as it opened, but put on a space heater at least! As I sat in the pedicure chair with my down coat on, I wasn't even sure if my girl put soap in the water- it looked clear to me. She scrubbed the bottom of my feet with something that looked like SoftSoap that you'd use for your hands. Needless to say, the pedicure was underwhelming. Don't be fooled by the nail designs they've posted!!! I showed the girl an exact picture she posted months ago, and it came out nowhere close to what I asked. $70 in the hole, and not even 48 hours later, my two thumb nails cracked!! What a waste of time and money!!! RUN!!! read more

L & Y Nails - Day 2 and my nail is cracked!!! Garbage job! - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

While the women working here are very nice, the cleanliness and skills are questionable. This is concerning especially with COVID going on. My nails were done over a wet towel that had been clearly used several times due to the stains and discoloration. Worst part was that she had my hands touching it. It was used to wipe the work station also. I got a powder gel manicure. Usually they last 2-3 weeks for me but they chipped at 5 days. The job itself was not done very well. You can clearly see lint in my nails. I'm also used to doing 3 coats but the only do 2. The color did not come out as expected because of less coats. I also had to dry them? Again, never experienced this with other salons I go to. Came here as my usual nail place was booked and needed something quickly. Probably would not be coming back here again. read more

I got a gel manicure here for $20 (circa 11/2019). I thought the price was very reasonable, compared to other nail salons around Brooklyn/Manhattan. The lady who did my nails was efficient.I went on a Monday afternoon. I took one star off because some of their tools didn't seem the cleanest, or didn't look clean. Also usually after soaking, filing, and cutting cuticles they will wipe your hands down with a warm towel. But she told we to walk over to the sink to wash my hands. I thought that was strange and I would prefer if I didn't have to move around (I'm not a diva, please believe me). I did a glitter nail on my ring fingers. She did two coats of the glitter polish then one top coat. I can still feel the grit from the glitter polish. Wished she could've done one more coat so the nail is smooth. read more

This place is my go-to nail salon. I usually get a gel manicure. Pre-Covid price was $20, I went today and it was $25 -- which is still an absolute bargain for the service, especially nowadays. The service is very consistent, I'm always confident that I'm going to leave with a fresh set that'll last at least 3 weeks. Love love love this place & definitely recommend. read more

L & Y Nails - Beautiful green gel manicure. - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I tried this because it was fairly new to the neighborhood . Place is bright and clean and they have a nice selection of colors . Mani pedi went well until she slightly cut my toe on pedicure. I overlooked that and gave them another try a few weeks later . Got cut again during pedicure . Shame because it's a nice place but can't go back . Once was bad but twice cut is not forgivable . read more

Fast but efficient service. I got a beautiful and thorough pedi. The you g lady was very gentle. My pink gel with tips and stones is gorgeous! My first visit here but I see myself becoming a regular. I added a photo, but its just lovelier in person. They're very clean and natural looking. read more

L & Y Nails - My nail broke within one week! - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is my second visit to this shop and will be my last. The first time I left happier, although the gel did not last the expected 2 weeks. Both times I paid for 3 manicures and pedicures. This time I got acrylic with gel. The nail polish was done in a rush and not all over my nail. I pointed it out to the tech, who started arguing with me that it's my skin. It was not my skin. I believe she thought I wasn't going to tip her , which is why her demeanor changed once I paid and she started painting. I usually tip at least $15 when I get my own nails done, let alone when I'm treating family members. She did a horrible job with the polish. I didn't even let the nails dry, they look horrible and she shorted herself her tip due to her nasty attitude. They also do NOT wash the tubs out between pedicures. Highly unsanitary and gross! read more

Don't come here unless you have no other options. It's mediocre and definitely not worth the hassle. I stopped by for a gel manicure and left underwhelmed and felt like I wasted my time and money. The lady kept trying to insist certain colors and a glitter coat even though I had already politely refused twice. The job itself was below average has she painted right up to my cuticle and therefore the job is bound to not last with any growth. Not to mention the shaping of my nails were uneven. The place is close and pretty well lit. It was also pretty empty so no wait. It didn't give me the clean and sanitary feeling as things were all open and nothing was wiped down before or after my job. Honestly I think their advertised pictures were probably from the internet as I can't see how someone who doesn't have a basic gel manicure skill down can produce anything better. Disgruntled and debating if I want to take the gel off or find another place to remove it. read more

$20 for a regular mani-pedi. You won't be able to find a cheaper place in Brooklyn. However you do get what you paid for because my nails came out just alright. The polish wasn't evenly put on in some places (she missed some of the edges) and they don't really go above and beyond in making sure you have a great relaxing experience. Still, for $20, what more can you expect? Try to call ahead if you can because they don't always have enough workers and you may have to wait a while. read more

Been here twice and I fall in love with it. I found the design I wanted from internet for both times and Winnie was able to make the art work very close to the way I wanted. I like how she doesn't make the color gel thick layers but still get the job done nicely. P.S color gel mani (with design) & regular pedi are only $40!!! read more

I always go there for the convenience thinking that all nail salons are almost the same. Until I shopped at a nearby local nail salon a few blocks away, then I realized the difference that the staff here really cared about the customers and always perform a good job. Highly recommended read more

The nail job isn't the worse, but it's not the best either. I showed her the picture I wanted and I would say it's decently close. It's just the gem was not centered and some ribbon was a bit short. I'm not sure who did my nails, but it felt rushed. She also wasn't really paying attention, when she was cutting my cuticle she was being very fast and kind of aggressive. As a result my index finger was cut as you can see in the picture. When she was filing my nail at the end, she kind of "sliced" my pinky with the file. The total came out to be $40 (it was gel polish). I guess you get what you paid for, this is place mediocre. Could be a good option if you just want a regular manicure cheap and fast. I don't think I will be going back though. read more

Winnie has been doing my nails for over a year now (I go every 3 weeks) and never disappoints. From gel manicures to uv gel nails to dip powder, I've done it all. The place is always clean and never smells of acrylic odor as many nail salons do. For those who are skeptical of the pictures, I can tell you that at least 5 of those pictures are of my own hands. Therefore, they're not "stolen" from the internet. I can pretty much show Winnie any design I want and it'll be done. I will not let anyone else touch my nails except this place. Lastly, this place is priced VERY reasonably. read more

Look for Winnie or Helen, you won't be disappointed. (But their work is not perfect, there is always room for improvement) Have been doing my nails with them for the past two years, now a lot of my friends and coworkers are also looking for them to do their nails too. (Better make appt with them or else you might need to wait a little) Environment is okay, it is very nice and neat. The price is reasonable, just show Winnie the pic, she will do the magic for you. (sometime she might not has all the accessories, but she always tries her best to get it, so in the future we can use it on the nail) you might think I said too many nice things about them, but I really see how much hard work Winnie has put into her nail salon. She really deserve some good comments read more

I used to have a good mood and then I couldn't make a nail. Then I didn't know how to shape my skin. I said that I didn't have skin and cut my pain. Then I said so many skins and no skin. I used to make nails. She gave me a sentence. Then, if you do your own bad attitude, you don't want to go to such a garbage store anymore. read more

Really mediocre nail salon. Not very clean...but passable I suppose. Came here on a recommendation by a friend since it's closer to my house than my regular place. $18 for a regular mani-pedi is okay i guess. They close at 8:30 and I got there at 7:30 to an empty salon on a Wednesday night. Service is polite and just okay. I chose a wine red and the girl really should've painted 3 coats of the color but only did 2 so it's a bit streaky. Not cool. The place was also freezing and I was in a hurry so I didn't say anything. Will not return. I'd rather go all the way to Bay Ridge for Latoue. read more

Came to the area to meet with family and decided to get a gel mani, the lady was super professional and kind even when another customer was rude to her.

Been coming here for a couple of years now. Even though it is a 15 min drive, I wouldn't go to any other salon. The place is clean, the tools are clean. I love the great selection of colors. Mainly I go there for regular pedicure and gel manicure and eyebrow waxing. I don't have a particular lady because most of them do a decent job but if you're looking on doing something more complex, I suggest asking for Winnie. They do charge extra for designs such as gems, nail stickers, and nail stamps. It is a first come first serve basis so ofcourse there is a wait time, especially on weekends and the days before a holiday. read more
