My second time here and so far so good. Kayla, and I hope this is her name has done a wonderful job. She's so nice and talented. I said do whatever and she has done a great job
I've been coming to Lacquer room for a while. I really appreciate the art and care that the artists put into my nails. I went to another salon when Lacquer was booked and the salon ruined my nails but the ladies at Lacquer room told me how to treat my nails properly after the damage. I'm happy to see my nails healing and looking healthy again. Can't wait to get some art done when I come back for my next set.
Happy first timer! I mistakenly went a day before my confirmed appointment and was bummed because there was no way i was going to make it. I called later in the day and the staff was very nice and really tried to work something out for me! Not only did they get to squeeze me in i also got BOMB NAILS which is what i envisioned and wanted. Usually last minute accommodations are for something simple but they definitely delivered for me! Ms Claritza (funkynailpolish) was a gem thank you for everything will be back!
Awesome establishment! I typically do my nails every 2-3 weeks, which consist of a gel mani and regular pedicure. My regular spot was booked solid and I really wanted my nails done. My regular place uses a website for appointment booking called -'Vagaro". I began searching around on the site for an available nail spot and voila! the 'Lacquer Room' appeared. I checked out their social media and instantly booked. Not only did they have availability but they had convenient hours for people who don't work your typical 9-5 hours. I booked an appointment for Friday evening and arrived on-time. Lacquer Room is located in the heart of the south Bronx. The area appears to be changing immensely and the Lacquer Room with its beautiful, modern decor, fits right in place. Keep in mind, there is street (metered) parking only. Upon arriving, I was greeted kindly by a young lady at the first station, who I think is the owner. I believe the business is minority owned (so happy to support!). I had booked with Kerry however, she was a little behind so I went with another tech who was new and unfortunately, I forget her name. Upon walking in, you'll see the modern decor of the space. Its small but not tiny with exposed brick walls, and touches of white and clear furniture. Towards the back of the salon, there are shelves of polish. Lacquer Room has a great assortment of polishes including: OPI, Essie, and Color Club. This probably the first place I've been to outside of Manhattan that had such a large collection of Essie. There was also a vast collection of gel polishes. The pedicure was basic and relaxing. I choose a simple polish, no designs. For my hands, I requested a french design and to my surprise, I was offered different shades of base coat and white polish. I don't think I've ever been given that much attention on this design before, but I liked it! Shows how much they care about your satisfaction. My nails looked absolutely beautiful upon completion. I was really satisfied however the polish chipped in one corner within a day. I was not bothered but then they began to chip even more as time went on. To be fair, I do not think this was the salon's doing for 2 reasons - firstly, my nails were square shaped which increases the risk of them being caught onto something further lifting the polish. Secondly, I had been cleaning (without gloves) and washing my hands more often than usual in the days following this service, I think this caused the gel to breakdown faster. I have no doubt that the owner would've fixed the issue had I gone back to complain. The service was amazing. Everyone was kind, attentive, and courteous. I was advised of any changes to my service, I was asked what my desires were, and even informed about add'l charges (e.g., designs, taxes, etc.). The nail techs also seem to be very well-versed at their craft. The designs are immaculate and intricately beautiful. Overall, I will be returning and providing a follow-up review. I would also recommend to others, it's definitely a hidden gem in the area.
I really wanted to like this place and make it my routine and that is why I tried it twice. I had Tena as a nail tech. Her attitude towards her work comes off as she hates what she does. The first time we met,, as I am telling her what I would like,, she wouldn't even acknowledge what I would ask for and proceed to huff and puff.. I got a full set of acrylic nails twice ( first set lasted a week and a half and the design came off the second day). The second set (nude color) this is the 3rd day from getting them done. I've attached pictures of the work. Really disappointed. Not a great job and the nail tech has attitude problems. Their IG page shows great designs and amazing work but I did not have that experience personally!
Horrible horrible and did I say horrible . Did them for my bday and these were beyond ugly .
This nail salon is cute with industrial features like gorgeous brick walls; the decoration and set up is nice. Plush chairs with bowls for pedicure station. The shop's ambience is chill and family like. Also the place is clean, which is a necessity of a nail salon but is not always present. My service: I went in for a fill-in on my stiletto shaped nails and to fix a pinky nail that I broke. The female who did my nails never introduced herself to me nor said much to me even though the other techs were nice and chatty. At the end I had to ask her name: Tina. The entire time doing my nails, was watching some movie or video on her phone. As a result, she buffed my nail too close to cuticle and caused 2 nics. The nail repair that was done, part of the old acrylic was left. She got off enough to apply the tip and then buffed and added acrylic to blend the two. Never had that done before but as long as it works. Then I was told they do regular polish with a gel top coat instead of gel polish. Again I've never had that done before but if they find it works, I'm wit it. Then I wanted a matte finish. She did a regular gel top coat then did the matter top coat. And her UV gel machine apparently wasn't working well as it took many attempts and multiple hand insertion/removals to get the light to activate. Problems: I paid $50 for the service ($25 fill in, $5 nail fix, $10 gel top coat, $10 matte top coat) and tipped. More than in my area and was surprised i was being charged for two top coats. But I pay for quality. However as I mentioned I was cut by the buffer and this morning (not even 24 hrs) I already noticed my polish coming off at the tips with my pointer right hand being the worse...like a chip. Not sure if this was caused by the uv light failure or the polish but I'm not pleased.
I honestly don't know where to begin when it comes to this place. I got there around 2:30 and I wasn't officially seen until close to 5pm. The one lady had me soaking off my SNS nails for an hour. Which I thought was a bit excessive. Usually when I go to a nail salon when I walk in, I'm greeted and asked to chose a color or am shown a portfolio of nail colors/styles. Not here. I just sat in a chair with some warm acetic acid soaking off my nails. After AN HOUR of waiting, The main nail tech poured a glass of moscato and apologized "for the wait" for a few of us which I turned down because moscato is not my thing . The place is also very unhygienic, the main nail tech painted a customers toenails then afterwards proceeded to do another customers nails without washing her hands in between customers!!! Their time management also sucks! The staff were taking lunch breaks without saying anything to the customers, I came to the salon before many customers but they got seen before me and left before me because I felt like it was personal. They don't communicate well with the guests nor do they have proper customer service skills. By the time it was seen, The girl who goes by the name of "T" was extremely rude! like her customer service level is a negative zero they need extra training on inter and intrapersonal skills because they are seriously lacking I just don't know how this business will continue to thrive when they lack time management, people skills and professionalism. But then again maybe it's the area...south Bronx. My nails were....mediocre at best I will NEVER recommend this place to anyone
I was asked to come in a hour early than my appointment for 4:30 p.m. but was seen around 30 minutes after arrival. The design i asked for was executed and done with professionalism. I would recommend them.
I came here MULTIPLE times trying to like this spot because it's Dominican owned and I'm Dominican but for what? No idea. They use cheap quality nail polishes and their gel is only a "gel top coat" on top of regular polish - like wtf? Who does that? That's being super cheap especially when you're charging clients $70+ and have the prices NOWHERE POSTED IN THE NAIL SALON!!!! So it's just deceiving and they're making up their prices as they go (that's how I feel / what happened to me the last time I came here) I came here to do a daisy flower design for the summer. My nail tech couldn't do it because she was afraid to mess up, so she got the owner, Klaritza, to do it. the flower came out great - but I waited over an hour for her to do the design because she had a client (unacceptable, if the nail tech couldn't do it she should've told me beforehand) Klaritza's client was a friend of hers. She was doing an ombré nail design with very long tips. At the end of the service, she charged her $35 because "oh she waited a really long time so charge her this" is what she told my nail tech to charge her client. When I asked for my bill I was told I owed $75. I paid $75 for a refill, yellow nails and 2 flower designs on the nails - oh and let's not forget that my nails had a hair of the nail polish brush on the nail and I couldn't get it fixed because I live far and they were closing when I was there. The service and management is just ridiculous here. Why are you charging so much when you're in the Bronx? The place is cute but it could be better. The nail techs are way too chatty and It seems like they don't pay attention when they're doing nails. I've been cut before and bled. And my nails Chipped a day after. I stopped going here after the 4th time. I wouldn't recommend this Place to anyone. For the price of $70+ I rather get my nails done at an upscale place in the city.
Didn't get what I asked for, the nail tech (Kerry) was on the phone (bluetooth) almost the entire time. It's been 1.5 weeks and my Acrylic nails have turned yellow and black on the edges. When I saw how pink the color she chose was, I passed on the marble pattern for fear of her getting that wrong too. Just subpar service for $80+ gratuity. Maybe another nail tech would do a better job, but this one was just careless.

Finding the right nail artist in New York has been a hassle for me. Every time I find one, it is impossible to grab an appointment. They are always booked so far in advance. So, on Saturday I decided to check out the lacquer room to see what their appointments looked like. Low and behold, there was one opening and I booked immediately. Mariel did my full set and I am so excited. Everyone keeps asking me where I went and I am happy to send them their way, even though I have not been able to find an appointment for a fill. LOL The shop is so cute inside and the vibe is amazing. Everyone is super friendly and the music is great. The rapport that all of the nail artists have with each other is outstanding. This is super important for me when I frequent a business. If everyone there likes each other then I most likely will like them too. Also, everyone is invested in providing quality work. If you are looking for a new nail shop, I suggest that you try them out. read more

The Lacquer room is a great place for chic and unique nail designs. I had been looking for a clean nail salon in the Bronx that knew how to shape a nice stiletto/almond nail and I found just that here. They are on the pricey side however you will not be disappointed with the results. They have a large selection of brand name polishes as well as nail arts (gems, flowers, etc). Having an appointment is a must unless you want to wait a long time. Second photo is of my second return visit! Mari made me a unicorn! I love love love this place. read more

****I gave this salon 5 stars but Yelp is showing 4 :-/**** I was a bit frustrated when I arrived because I gave my cab driver the wrong address and wore the wrong shoes for the walk I had to do to get there. The business opened a bit later than I thought So I was forced to reschedule. I waited a bit and the owner opened up shop and was THE sweetest thing! She completely understood and even offered me a seat and an outlet for my dead phone so I could catch a Lyft. When I was able to come back for my new appointment, I was not disappointed. They take their time with you. They talk to and with you like they've known you for years, and are very careful with your hands. It's a little on the pricier side but well worth it because my nails have received so many compliments and they are shining through the hard work I put them through. If I could give one criticism, it's that prices aren't really posted anywhere. While I did not assume I was getting ripped-off, I do want to make sure I have enough to cover all costs and during my first visit I had JUST enough! They are very transparent with the services you receive verbally, however. I love that it's a small business that produces really good work in the Bronx. As a new resident of the BX who goes to Manhattan for everything, my nails are now one less thing I'll be traveling for. read more

This nail salon is super unprofessional. I had an appointment for 2:00pm and even arrived earlier, yet I did not sit down to officially do my nails until 4:30pm. My nail tech that I had the appointment with was backed up, yet I was not notified. For a business that makes it known on their website not to be late they have no problem seeing their clients late. I had to go through 3 separate nail techs just to get mine done. Not to mention they were on their phone a lot or distracted. A business is supposed to value their customers, whether they are new or familiar faces. I was in the nail salon at 1:50 and did not leave until 5:30. They did not charge me for the gel on my nails, however the customer service was horrible. No one should have to wait 4 hours to do their nails. Please do not come here if you are thinking about it!! read more

Ridiculously expensive, $85. They don't post the prices for services anywhere. Staff were very friendly, clean and courteous. They offered a glass of wine and patron. Yoo-hoo!!!. But the one detail about the price really bothered me. I forgot to ask if they add the gratuity to the bill. I'm pretty sure it was added it already, but no sure. The service was done to my wife not me. Just in case. read more

After a long search I think I found a great nail salon in the south bx. No more traveling to Manhattan. I had an appointment at 3pm. I arrived a little early and was seen on time. The decor is chic and comfortable. They practice cleanliness and my technician was very informative about nails and nail care , I forgot her name :( will update once I know. Will definitely recommend and return read more

I decided to try this place out after seeing some Instagram influencers get there bomb nails done here. One, the lady I had did not even prep my cuticles for the acrylics like AT ALL. Second, a couple hours after I got my GEL nails done I go home and the color somehow chipped off so I dm their Instagram and tell them what happened in which the owner kindly apologized and allowed me to come in the next day to get it fixed. I was annoyed since I don't live near so getting there and back added to cost of my nails. And then TWO days after getting the full set one nail came off and on the third day the nail on my index finger was lifting. I really wanted to like this place since they do some cute nail designs as seen on ig but there's no point if it barely last a week. I might as well have done press ons myself. read more

Definitely a nice little hidden gem in the neighborhood. I've lived here for 10 years and have been looking for a dope nail spot, only to stumble upon this place. I called to make an appointment, showed up and was started right away, which was amazing because most places you have to wait, even with an appointment. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. A little bit on the pricey side but you are paying for quality work. Kerry hooked me up and I was definitely satisfied, I will be back! read more

Last Saturday was the second time I have been to this salon. Just like most of the reviews, I wanted to support a black owned local business. The first time I went was December 2018. The customer service was terrible. I booked with the owner, Claritza. When I walked in no one greeted me until finally someone asked who I was there for and I said Claritza. She was finishing up on a client while starting someone, that I could tell from their conversation, she was fitting in. I was confused because she didn't acknowledge me after I said it was her I was waiting for and confused that she was starting someone when I had an appointment. After she started her other client and left to get food. She came back and did my nails and she was pleasant. She did mention I could book with other people which I took as she didn't know me so she didn't know why I went to her. After she painted my nails I had to sit under a nail dryer for 45 minutes while she finished the client she was fitting in. The service came out to $75 and the nails did come out good but because the polish isn't gel (even if the top coat is cheap gel) the color chipped so fast. I left with a bad taste in my mouth and said I wouldn't go back because customer service means a lot to me. I don't mind spending the money if the quality is there and I feel valued as a customer. So almost a year later I decide to return. I follow the salon and some of the girls on Instagram and I thought I would give them another chance. I could only book with Tena and didn't remember seeing her work so I was skeptical. The day before my appointment, I checked the reviews to see if anyone mentioned her and the day before someone left a bad review about her. I contemplated canceling the appointment but needed my nails done and couldn't find another place. Big mistake. When I walked in I was actually greeted and given some wine which was new to me. Tena was finishing up a client which is fine because I know things happen. She doesn't come off as friendly at all. I told her what I wanted and she just said okay and began to work. I could tell she was annoyed I wanted shorter acrylics but I work in an office and need to type. When she cut my nails she did not check each nail against each other to check that the length was the same. That's a red flag for me because obviously she doesn't pay attention to detail or she just doesn't care about doing my nails. She did mention she had been working all day and didn't have time to eat. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt since it was only the beginning. The end result was nothinggggg I would imagine this "high end" nail salon would let walk out of their salon. If I feel like I have to tell you to fix something that obviously doesn't look good (like the nails being extremely thick or the nails turned up like they are about to take flight off my nail beds) then you don't have the talent or you don't care enough to do them correctly. Also, I had to wait yet again to dry my nails while she finished the client that she was doing before me. And then I could get my top coat. I honestly think she rushed me just to finish her client that she was doing designs on. The service came out to $50 + tax and then I tipped her $8 which I didn't think she deserved and she didn't even say thank you. It was comical at that point. I was so embarrassed to show my nails and my coworker saw them and said they were "terrible". I agree! Now that was enough for me not to return but what made me want to write a review was the fact that yesterday (day 6 with my nails) FOUR of them fell off. (Again, I work an office job.) I have attached pictures of the nails from day one and yesterday. It's safe to say I will not be returning. I know Claritza does a great job but all of the nail techs should be somewhat on the same level so that the all the "product" leaving the salon is CONSISTENT! read more
