Great price for a regular manicure. I had to request a couple times for my manicurist to have a finer attention to detail but for the cost I still think it's worth it. I was able to get a walk in on a Sunday midday but your mileage may vary during busier times. read more

Lys Nail & Spa - Regular manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Walked in on a weekday morning so there was no wait, and was in and out in about a half hour. I've only gotten a few official manicures before so I have a small sample size, but this was the best one I've gotten! It's been about a week and a half and my nails are still looking great (no chipping or peeling at all). Just docking a star because the technician working on me nicked me while buffing my nail and I started to bleed, and also shaped my nails to different lengths so they're not even (longer pinky and index fingers, shorter middle and ring fingers). No biggie though since the differences in length will be less obvious as my nails grow out. read more

Came for a gel fill-in. She filed the absolute hell out of my natural nails after soaking off my previous gel- would not be surprised if they break very quickly. Also, never in my life have I heard of cat-eye costing an extra $50 and almond/stiletto/coffin nails costing an extra $5. $5 obviously isn't much, but the principle of the 3 most common nail shapes having an additional charge just irks me. I then considered chrome instead on my nails, which is an additional $40. The "affordable" aspect of this place is false and instead the priciness shows up in random things that have an additional charge. Also, they told me to reschedule my appointment for later, so I did, and then when it came close to closing time she was very obviously rushing through my nails and barely gave me any time to even choose my color. Wouldn't recommend this place. At least my nails turned out fine. read more

I've given this salon multiple chances, but each visit leaves me disappointed. Prices are frequently higher than what was quoted, with added charges that aren't clearly explained beforehand. I've also observed and experienced treatment that felt noticeably less respectful toward clients of color, which is unacceptable in any service business. Professionalism, transparency, and respect should be standard for every customer. There are too many great salons out there to tolerate this kind of experience. I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

awesome service. 10/10 recommend. Pedicure and massage were perfect. staff was very friendly

Amazing for kids, took their time, very nice :) we had a great time didnt feel rushed

Waited 20minutes despite having reservation made online day before so i ticked off 1 star. Another customer next to me was waiting for almost an hour for their appointment! During off times walk in's seem very doable. I got a design gel mani ($50) with cat eye design and Linda was so great at accommodating. The complimentary shoulder massage at the end also rejuvenated me so much. You can add 10 extra minutes of massage on the massage chair just for $15 dollars too. Overall had a good experience and it really relieved my tense body from traveling read more

I have tried this place so many times. They say they can do a nail design (when you ask upfront and show a picture) and then present you with a sticker when you're already in the chair...when i specifically asked upfront after 2.5 hours i told them remove it i have to go. Then they still tried to charge me for the design. They have no shame to talk about you right in front of your face in their language. Never going back to this place. read more

I came in for gel removal. The technician filed off the top layer but tried to rush my acetone soak. Instead of waiting the proper amount of time, she tried to go back in with the file to speed the process- where she was damaging my actual nails. I stopped her and politely said Im happy to be patient and let the nails soak until they come off more easily with less damage. She waited 2 minutes (I had my phone in my lap with the time) and we had the same problem. I really had to stress again that I didn't want to damage my nails and was happy to wait the proper amount of time for safe removal. Needless to say, she cared more about rushing the process than me leaving with healthy nails. Finally she got frustrated and another (more patient) tech- Ivy I believe- finished my service easily- but it was disappointing that I had to advocate for proper removal so much versus that being the standard. Needless to say I'll never return. read more

The only plus about this place is the affordable price point. But, as they say, you get what you pay for. Every time I have an appointment, its still a 20 to 30 minute wait. The quality of their pedicures is subpar and they regularly cut you during the process. If you can find somewhere else, would strongly suggest it. read more

Everytime I come here a nail breaks within 3 days. I've tried different technicians for some reason when I ask them not to file so much it's like they don't understand or just disregard. My nails are over filed and brittle thin even with a gel manicure and always end up breaking. Not to mention their methods for fixing a broken nail or somewhat questionable and not exactly aesthetic. read more

I don't know what's going on with some of these other reviews... I would suggest ignoring them and giving it a try for yourself. I had a great experience getting a gel manicure here ($32). They check your temperature at the door, spray a disinfectant on the soles of your footwear, ensure clients use their provided hand sanitizer, and have you write down your contact information in case of any news of exposure to COVID-19. Lys Nail Spa is an affordable, local nail salon in Williamsburg. They have a wide range of nail polish shades and they get the job done. My nail stylist, CiCi, was polite and friendly. They also have a punch card you can get signed during each visit. After 10 visits, you can get 1 free manicure, eye brow appointment, or a 10 minute massage. Not a bad deal. read more

Lys Nail & Spa - Gel Manicure - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is my go-to nail salon in Williamsburg and they specialize in dip/powder manicures (the only kind of manicure that lasts several weeks on my nails). I've probably had 8 different people do my nails here and have never been disappointed. They also do great pedicures and amazing massages. Additionally, their color selection is unbeatable - they probably have over 200 options for dip/powder alone and I constantly see them adding new ones. My only knock on this place is that they often run late with appointments because they are so busy. I usually avoid this by going around lunch time during the week (they have free reliable Wi-Fi). read more

DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT COME HERE !!! Unless you want to get scammed and have your nails ruin in 10 days!!! My friend and I went to Lys nails to get our nails and toes done and they had a deal for like 58$ for both. We wanted gel which was a 15$ up charge which was fine no big deal buttttttt they took 2 hours on my nails alone..... My nails are short and I didn't get any fancy design I got a basic soft chrome look and my friend who got a design with extra stuff was out of the chair before me which made us late for our appointment. When we went to pay they charged us 100$ each and when we ask why the whole total should be 75$ they said "oh that's not including taxes" "we have extra taxes here" there was no sign nor did anyone explain that to us before we sat down. Also my gel came off after 10 days !!! They should have lasted a minimum of 2 weeks! DO NOT COME HERE ! Wish I could give them negative stars! read more

Lys Nail & Spa - One whole gel nail came off after putting my hair behind my ear ( I have short curly thin hair) - Nail Salons Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They've done it again! Last time I got a full set of nails (which have lasted me over 2.5 weeks and a beach vacation). This time I saw Selina for a pedicure and it was amazing. I highly recommend doing the package that is the $65 pedicure that comes with a foot massage AND a 10 minute shoulder massage on their massage chairs... 10/10 experience read more

Always a long wait and my nails (even gel) never last more than a week without chipping. Expensive and not worth it!

I have been coming to this nail salon for over 5 years and they never disappoint. They take their time and make sure you are walking out looking and feeling good! The atmosphere is very relaxed, but try to come early because the mid day rush is crazy lol. Ask for LINDAAA I love her! read more

Received an infection in my big toe after getting a pedicure here. The technician was really hard on my cuticles and cut me and I believe that's how the infection occurred. I went back to the salon showed them my doctor's message saying I had an infection was was prescribed antibiotics. The person working argued with me but finally gave me my money back. read more

They told me they could do the nail art I requested, charged me an additional $20 to do it and weren't capable. Do not lie to your clients. read more

This place has classic racist energy and the people who work here don't even hide it or care. This was my second time here, and even the smallest missteps will ensure I don't return back. I came in and someone (her name may have been Ivy, I think she was one of the managers) greeted me and said nothing else. She was wrapping up a few things so I waited for her to finish and bring her attention to me. I continued to stand at the front with no further acknowledgment, but a woman of the palm-colored variety came in and stood next to me, was greeted immediately and asked about the service she wanted. I then said, once those two were finished, that I had been standing here so was she (Ivy) going to ask me what I wanted so I could get serviced. Ivy laughed it off, and I let her know that I came in a bit over a week ago and needed two toes fixed from my previous visit. I was prepared to pay for the fix, even though it was initially their fault but I had waited to go back since their salon wasn't in my home neighborhood. Ivy had assumed I probably wanted a free fix and asked if I could show my bank statement detailing when I came to them. Because I planned to pay, I didn't find providing that extra stuff to be necessary and I reiterated that. I didn't really like the tone of the conversation but I sat and waited to get serviced. Ivy had me wait about 20 mins and eventually said she would do the fix. No problem. When I was ready to leave and pay, there was another palm-colored woman paying ahead of me, and she was met with Ivy's warmth and kindness. When I came up, Ivy curtly said "5 dollars". I pay my $5 and she doesn't say thank you or anything. I was so uncomfortable and told her that I've seen the way she's treated other people who don't look like me and the she has interacted with me made me feel uncomfortable and that I found her behavior to be inappropriate and unacceptable. She just said "ok" and walked away. Super unfortunate and unnecessarily uncomfortable experience for me, and we know how these places operate so I guess it's on to the next. read more

What's the point of making appts when I have to wait 40+mins.. this place is the cheapest/most affordable nail salon in Williamsburg ($42 for mani/pedi), but there is no point making appts since they will just take ppl as they walk in. Sophie never writes names for appts, so you know she doesnt take appt seriously. They need to hire more staff if they care about customers' time. read more

My go-to nail salon. Great prices with a punch card and holiday vouchers. I try to call ahead to make sure they're not too busy. Appointments are loosely held so I often don't make them. They're quick and always do a good job. Gel manicures last 2 weeks and my nails have been in better shape since going here regularly. read more

I've been getting my nails done at various places for about 17 years. I can honestly say that Lys Nail and Spa in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is the best nail salon I've ever been in in my entire life. I'm obsessed. I'm literally worried about them getting too popular and changing. The staff at Lys Nail Salon are talented, patient, expedient without being sloppy, and they are knowledgeable about nail care. They give free quick massages while your nails are drying, and are easy to communicate with. The space is clean and bright and I've never waited for more than 20 minutes. My nails come out looking lovely every single time. My worst experience was still an 8 out of 10 and I believe that young lady was new, so I forgive her 100%. I'm not going to say anymore. I literally fear them growing in popularity and changing the way the salon is run. I love them and I refuse to go anywhere else. read more

Came in for a mani/pedi (with a French mani) and received incredible service. CiCi was a lovely mail tech and the entire staff is super welcoming and clearly loves their customers. Prices are excellent for the quality of service you receive. There was a small wait even though I called ahead but it was worth it. They have a punch card discount program that is pretty good! Every other woman in the salon getting their nails done had the most gorgeous gel manis that I'll have to come back and get that done one day. read more

Literally my go to spot for nails. I moved from Brooklyn and still go back to do my nails here! Love this place

My review is for my experience with massages, only. I have been to this nail salon more times than my check-ins show, and I leave pleased every time. I am the type of person not to make appointments. I just roll up to places and hope that they're no lines and usually there's not. Works everywhere I go. I have never waited longer than 5-7mins at Lys Nail & Spa. The ladies always greet me when I walk thru the door; they are super friendly. The place is clean and quiet. There is always a few women getting their manicure and pedicures done. Everyone looks pleased and calm. No ratchetness or loud chatter in here. Massages are on a chair since they are 20mins long. Can't say that I am knocked out during my massages. I enjoy my massages awake. Nothing feels more wasted than falling asleep for an entire massage. That is the equal of a night of drinking without feeling any buzz. Like what's even the point?! I am up and aware and always more than willing to show Anna where she should massage next. Shirley is good at massages too; I have tried her twice. The MVP goes to Anna, though! Anna is spectacular. It's been a long time since I've had someone as good as her. I praise those hands. I will be happy to spend money; she is worth every dime. They accept cash and credit cards. Points card that they store in a notebook for you. (I have lost three) Mani & Pedi for $28 (Not sure if it's an everyday deal) Massages are 10min for $10, 20min for $21, 30mins for $30 and so on. read more

Cathy is absolutely phenomenal, everyone else is ok. Reasonable prices & very friendly! Don't come here if you're on any timeline- they will book your appointment at 5:30 & won't start until 6:30 earliest. read more

I keep giving this salon more chances and each time they disappoint me. The young women are often rude (with the exception of the older women who do their jobs perfectly). During my last visit, the nail tech rushed through my gel manicure and was very rough. I had to ask her to slow down and loosen the tight grip she had on my fingers. It's supposed to be a relaxing experience right? I'll be visiting the new salon that just opened up from now on, they're much nicer. No more chances for these ladies. read more

I've been coming here for a few years, I got a last min appointment (maybe 3 hours before) for a soak off and pedi. Got there on time but no one actually started working on me till about 540. If you have an appointment just be prepared to wait. I wish I took pics of my nails & pedi because they're just so great here once they do start the mani pedi. Also, very affordable compared to any other place in Williamsburg. 3 stars for the appointment and long wait. I would've gave 5 based on the job they did but it was simple. read more

I've been to high end and low end nail spots and this is my favorite place in the neighborhood for sure. It's clean, they always have plenty of employees on hand so there's never much of a wait, they have great prices, and their manis and pedis last forever. I also love getting a quick chair massage as almost everyone I've had is also a super talented/strong masseuse! In fact, if you get a mani pedi combo you get a free 10 minute massage. And they also have a frequent buyer card which, when filled up, gives you a free regular mani or a free 10 minute massage as well. I love that they offer to keep your card there so you don't have to worry about remembering to bring it every time. My one complaint is that their gel polish color selection is a bit limited. But my sadness about limited gel colors is well eclipsed by the little bowls of candy they have for you to enjoy while your nails are drying... no better way to end a pampering session than some mini Swedish fish! read more

I sent my girlfriend to get her nails done and they put a guy to do her nails which is no bother but if the guy dont know how to do his job then why when IM PAYING GOOD MONEY just so you guys could take advantage of the customer?! I payed this guy 85$ for his continuous fuck up she had to consistently change what i wanted because dude didnt know how to do anything. i suggest you ladys go on instagram and find a real dedicated nail tech rather than these thieves thats so money hungry rather than treating a client well read more

Before I go on vacation, I have to wrap up a bunch of honeydoo tasks. One of them is my mani-pedi nail appointment on Saturday. My wife met me in Brooklyn, we had dinner and next door is Lys Nails. I peek inside, its not too slammed so I decide to sit in a massage chair and get my mani-pedi done Friday nite. If there is one thing I hate is chatter while I'm relaxing. The rapid fire conversation between the ladies talking to each other in a different language pissed me off. Do your job, STFU and concentrate on me. Plenty of time to talk in your own language when you close. Its a Spa? Not a card game, that knocked off a star for me. The price for a mens Mani-Pedi wasn't too expensive. The process was quick for the pedi. Throw some more cream on my leg and give me a spa treatment! Again, its a spa. I didn't feel that pampered. Sad face :/ Any spa should love to give a guy mani-pedi. No polish, no wrapping, massage my feets and make us happy. I'm not from the area, I'll never return. read more

Like some of the other Yelpers, I also don't know why the rating is so low. Best price/quality gel manicure and pedicure I've found and my nails basically eat gel or something because they usually chip or peel within 2 weeks. Definitely my go-to spot. I'm big on customer service and I've never had any trouble with rudeness. Give this place a chance! read more

Really great at doing nails but they have no respect for your time. They should either stop taking appointments because they don't even honor them or switch to an appointment only system. read more

Went in for a pedicure and dip manicure and was out in one hour. I had JJ and I will be going back to him. He did a great job plus he massages me well. The price is a little more than what I pay in my neighborhood but this is Williamsburg, and they have me extra treats like, they gave me a lotion as a gift for the holidays, out some hot wax on my ankles as my toes were drying and with the timing it's actually worth it. I am happy a found a spot in Williamsburg that I will be going back to. read more

Since moving to Williamsburg a few months ago, I have been to Lys Nail & Spa a bunch of times. Not only do they offer extremely reasonable prices on all of their services, but they are also precise and perfectionists when it comes to nails. Also, when I want an extra treat, I get the quick ten minute massage. For 10 bucks you can't beat it! Since it's a neighborhood staple with exceptionally low prices I recommend managing expectations before coming in. If you're in a rush/impatient or if you're looking for a quiet, spa-like environment this is not the place for you. With that said I hold this place as such a gem for the neighborhood, and highly recommend. Williamsburg is such a trendy area, so to find a place that provides such deals is amazing read more
