Been to this place twice and each time I've had to come back almost immediately to fix it. On the upside - they're very open to fixing things, probably because they have to do it so often. I came on a Monday to get an ANC removal and a fresh application on my own nails. After 30 mins of waiting and almost 2 hours of application and I still had to come back on Wednesday for them to fix it. (she had topped off my ANC with a DN gel top coat and it started peeling immediately) Pictures attached are what an hour and 40 minutes of "fixing" get you Save your time and money and go literally anywhere else. read more

This is my new go to place. The service is fast. They remove ANC and put on new polish in under an hour, pretty close to 30 mins. Everyone is friendly. They have a fantastic selection of colors too. Highly recommended! read more

I'm here every 2 weeks for a new set of ANC. I only let Mendy do my nails and for the most part it seems like everyone else only allows Mendy bc she is ALWAYS booked. She's very social and funny with no language barrier between us it's a nice time to chit chat and get my nails nicely done. She listens to what you want. I'm very picky about the shape of my nails I explained it once and she's never asked me again and she always gets it right. If you want to get in and out avoid Saturday's and Friday nights it's crazy in there. Calling ahead even 15 mins before you arrive is a good option. The overall place is clean. They are the only place I've ever been too that lines the pedicure tub with plastic for hygiene reasons it's a really nice touch. The only thing is the lack of space. It can be tight in there sometimes with the lack of waiting area space. Other than that you really can't go wrong. read more

Nailed it! :) One of the best pedicures I've ever had, no lie! I will be back next time I'm in the neighbor. Thank you!! read more

I got ANC done on a whim because I couldn't make it to my regular place and I wasn't impressed at all. I could tell the manicurist was rushing when she was doing it, plus my nails are all different shapes. The other thing I wasn't happy about was what they charged me, they charged me $35 for ANC, I didn't say anything because it did say "$30+" on the board but I didn't get any designs or tips. They must have charged me for removal, which is ridiculous. The going rate in this area for ANC is $30. read more

I wasn't expecting much. When you go to a nail place in a mall, I think it's safer to have no real expectations than to be looking for something high quality. I was very pleasantly surprised. The place is tiny and cramped. OMG, so very very cramped. You walk in and you're in the middle of everything going on, which is a little off-putting, but once you sit down, it all becomes a wonderful experience. It was one of the best pedicures I've had, but I think part of that is because I had been getting sub-par pedis at my regular place (but since I didn't know what I was missing, I wasn't bothered by it). The girls are all friendly and listen to what the customers want. The clientele are all quiet, but friendly, and there is a relaxing vibe to the place, overall. They have a television on the wall, as so many places do, but they keep the volume low enough to not be obnoxious, but they put on the closed captioning, so if you want to watch, you can read what's going on, but if you want to ignore it, the volume is low enough to make that happen. I completely felt pampered as did everyone else in the salon. It was a really excellent experience and I will definitely go back to see if they're consistently good or if I just lucked out. But, hey, for $35, I got well more than I paid for. read more

Worst customer service ever! Less than 24 hours after getting mani and pedi the polish was chipped on every nail. When I returned to complain and ask that it be done over, the woman was rude and gave me a hard time. She told me next time I should get the more expensive gel service if I want my polish to last. I'm extremely unhappy! read more

Lee Nails - Sucky mani! - Nail Salons Near Me - Albany, New York

I just got a manicure on Sunday and it's Thursday and already coming off. My whole index finger has chipped off and so has several other fingers. Mind you, this was at least 3 coats and a clear polish on top. I haven't done any extraneous exercise this week with my hands so my nails shouldn't be chipping this early in the week. However the price is good and they are fast. read more

Very fast service, great quality nails and they last forever. I have had my set on a month and even though I need a fill, they have not pulled up, and the polish is still in good shape. They use OPI nail polish which I love and is the only polish I use. I get my nails very short and they listened to my request and didn't try to make me go longer, which I've had many places try to do to me. Do yourself and favor and make an appointment and go here read more

Great place to go. Always take thier time the ANC doesnt break or lift. Give great pedicures and take appointments

This nail salon is very fast to produce such wonderful nails. They are located in the mall which is a good way to drum up continuous business. By always having a client they can practice their art a lot more frequently. I recommend having an appointment to limit any wait time. However, they are better staffed than other salons. I enjoy a french gel manicure and have short nails. The lady worked with them and made them look gorgeous. I couldn't be more pleased. read more

I stopped in here as an afterthought picking up an outfit for a job interview. My nails were gross, chipped polish and I needed something nice. Manicure was quick and she shaped my nails into a square perfectly. I had a gel french manicure with opi bubble bath and the nails dried immediately. $30, out the door and gorgeous! Took one star off, only because my previous polish was a dark purple and there were still little bits of it on the sides of my nails. Not very noticeable, but not perfect. Still, very happy and definitely will stop again if I'm ever in need of a mani while in Colonie Center. read more

Lee Nails - Gel French Manicure with OPI Bubble Bath (one week later) - Nail Salons Near Me - Albany, New York

2 Weeks and half my toe nails are bare. I was visiting and needed a pedicure. The women working here did not interact with the clients and spoke to each other only in their native language. :It was not a happy refreshing experience. I would not go back. read more

First of all my friend and I were barely noticed when we walked in and when we finally were the girl acted as if it was a problem that BOTH of us wanted a mani-pedi. Second, I hadn't even put my feet in the water before she started working away (I like to soak my feet for a little while at least), talking and laughing with the girl next to her. She never said a word to me while she was working. Anyway, my pedi was average nothing special. She continued to ignore me during the mani and didn't even bother to ask about what I wanted to do with my nails as far as cutting/filling, round/square etc. I ended up with this weird egg shaped thumb nail until I asked her to fix it. The rest of the experience was average. By the next day, 6 nails had chipped polish likely due to the old yucky polish she had to adds paint thinner to...I will not be back! read more

I hate giving bad reviews but this has to be done. I came here with my mom for a manicure pedicure date. I understand that at times there can be an influx of customers, but the managing staff should have let them know that there would be a wait time. My manicure was rushed, my pedicure was rushed and honestly it just wasn't worth the money. read more

Terrible service, did a terrible job on my nails. Gel paint chipped a nail later and then they made me wait a half hour o get it fixed. Would never go there again read more

AWFUL!!! Never had any problems here until last night when my daughter went in with a girlfriend by themselves. They were OBVIOUSLY taken advantage of because they are young!!! OVER CHARGED & AWFUL job! Charged her and extra $10 to cut down her nails!! I am in the wrong business!! I will never go back!! read more

Stopped in with my sister for a quick pedicure during a girls weekend. Went in with low expectations considering it's a mall nail place. We were pleasantly surprised. Both employees were friendly & attentive. We all interacted together. Nail color was perfectly applied & lasted four weeks...well beyond my expectations. I'd go here again if I was ever at Colonie Mall read more

I get so many compliments on my nails, the shape and look is always perfect. I have been a long time customer and have always been super happy with my nail and their pedicures are to die for. Lee and the rest of the staff are awsome on any of the type of nails you want, no matter what you prefer ANC, French etc. Best nails in the Capitol District read more

This is the second time I've been there. There prices are cheap enough, so I decided to give them a second chance. Both times were horrible. I had shellac/gel nails done and a wax. It is very cramped. It is not clean. All the employees are talking non-stop to each other. None of them barely lifted there eyes up when I came in. No pleases, no thank yous. The girl that did my nails both times, never smiled or spoke to me, other than asking me what color I wanted. She was very rough, pulling and pushing my hands. It the most unfriendly un "Spalike" salon I have ever been to. Though my nails were done adequately, it doesn't make up for the horrible customer service. read more

There's no point in letting someone make an appointment; I arrived 10 mins early and ended up waiting literally an hour before someone finally started working on me. Had me soaking in the tub for 30mins before even knowing who was going to do my nails (feet got all pruned and everything). I Had to switch to just a polish change instead of a full pedicure because I didn't have time to wait. It was done fine but everything else about this experience sucked read more

Big waste of time & money. I was desperate at 7:30pm and should've just waited. The manure was actually painful, never softened the cuticle and picked at them dry, felt horrible. And now, the next morning, 2 nails are already chipped. The whole impression I got was they just didn't care. read more

Went in was told 20 min wait. Saw one person get helped first. Then after waiting 25 min was told it would be an additional 10 min

Awful.... Unsanitary conditions. Nail implements were not sterilized. The staff was rude. Never again!

I get my nails done by Tina every two weeks and they are always done professionally and the way I like them. I am not really a fan of other workers there. Pretty cold and very selective to the people they make eye contact with and service, which isn't cool. Everyone's money is green!! read more

I enjoy coming here to get my nails done. the place I used to go to in Latham farms, the men were very rough on my hands and nails. The men here are very gentle and i never leave with cuts on my fingers. They try to have conversations with you the best they can, it's difficult to hear them sometimes because of the masks but they try which is very well appreciated. All the ladies that work there are always nice and always welcome you in there with a smile no matter what they're doing. They are also very clean aswell. The pedicure station is always clean and they change the bags for each customer. Very good, very nice. overall nice place! read more
