    GROSS Toe
    Esther K.

    Kind of saddens me to write this because the owner was really nice up until I sent her a DM and she left me on read. I went to the salon a week ago to get a mani pedi. Hands turned out great, feet not so much. The girl cut off too much skin and i ended up with a terrible toe infection, could barely walk (mind you I was in NY visiting for my sisters wedding), had to get antibiotics and miss work because of the horrendous pain. After she cut it I tried to keep my toe clean to prevent infection but it still got really bad (WARNING image attached). When I told one of the girls in person that one of the nail techs cut me she didn't say anything and just shrugged, then a few days later I DM'd the owner about my situation (attached image) and she left me on read. In the salon I saw that they had the machines to clean tools but when they started my pedicure she pulled out the cuticle cutter out of nowhere so who knows if it was actually sterilized. I would recommend this salon for a manicure but do it at your own risk.

    Older lady was huffing and puffing when I told her to fix her mistake with the chrome, and the work/end result is still shoddy. I tipped 20% and she couldn't even be bothered to put some cuticle oil after everything. I didn't expect her to rip off my acrylics and do everything all over again, but she didn't even want to repaint anything until I said "no" at the cracked chrome she insisted were fine and was gonna let me leave with. Even then, I'm pretty sure she rushed through the 'fix' because the nails are a mess. She kept telling me to not look at the nails before putting them in the machine; ma'am, that's not how you do customer service, especially when you've already shown me I cannot trust you to deliver results. Don't come to this place; picture says a thousand words, but let me just add that this is day 5...

    Broken nails within nine days with dip

    I got dip, and 3 nails broke within a week and two days of getting it done. They told me I can come back to get them fixed, and then I had to pay $15 for them to fix the nails that broke for no reason- they did refund the $15 after seeing my review. Very nice workers

    When your regular tech goes on maternity leave and you are worried about having struggle nails...that was so me, but not for long. It seems UV hard gel isn't done at many nail salons when I was doing my research. So I came to trusty old yelp and sent a message to the 1 spot that I saw in the city. Thank goodness yelp sends it to 3-4 other places or I wouldn't have found this gem. My question was answered right away and I was able to see the nail tech's work on instagram. I was satisfied and decided to make an appointment. Appointments are my jam too... I do not like to wait all day for one particualr tech. As I stated I found a gem. Nails we done just right and looked great. I'm a happy camper and just found my new nail spot!

    I had went to a nail place not far from this one and had the worst experience so I was kind of leery about goin to another new spot in the neighborhood but based on the reviews I thought I would give this a try. This place hits the mark. It doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let this Diamond in the rough fool you. The quality and customer service is on point. I called and was able to get in same day for a 'full set and gel pedicure.' Bing who did my pedicure was so meticulous and made sure everything was perfect. I'm rather particular and I was ecstatic with how even the coats were and the quality of product used. I asked for candy based on the great reviews she has and learned she was the owner. She sees everything! She's constantly making sure everyone is taken care of while she's doing a superb job. Never once did I feel I wasn't her top priority as she greeted customers and spoke to the other workers. I got the hombre set with a design I found in instagram which she was able to replicate. I was super impressed how she not only did the hombre by hand but customized the gel for my skin tone. I had shared my bad experience down the street and another customer overheard me and reassured me she was only in cuz her set grew out not for a break or bad quality. Once my nails were done I couldn't be happier they are gorgeous. This will definitely be my new place.

    great prices, can do any designs, super easy to schedule. same day appointments & consistently doing a great job

    This is the most recent job that was done on my nails. I love it!

    I love the work Michael and Cindy. I know them for over 15 years and they have always done a great job on my nails I am so happy to have them As my spa nails tech.

    Eyebrows

    BABY THESE PEOPLE DID ME SO WRONG . NEVER COME HERE FOR EYEBROWS . MAKE THOSE 5 EXTRA STEPS TO THE THREADING SALON . The lady messed me up so bad I told her I wasn't paying and she said "I know" and pulled out an eyebrow pencil to try to fill in my brow like are you dumb????? I always get threading and it's been a while so I thought I'd get waxed and get threading in 2 weeks but that was my mistake never again .

    Nail is slightly bleeding from the horribly executed nail removal

    Very horrible experience!! I been to this nail salon many times and have always enjoyed my experience However, today I went to go remove my acrylic nails with a top coat of gel and get a hard gel set. First time ever that my nails were removed in the way that they were. My nails were being forcibly taken off with a metro card and a cuticle tweezer. Every time i would try and pull away because it was hurting, Michael would form a tighter grip on my hand and continue to do it. I should've stopped him but by the time i was about to, I noticed that a layer of my nail was taken off and my nail was hurting and slightly bleeding. No apologizes from him either because of this. Instead, the other staff apologized which i appreciated. Completely unacceptable because he could've soaked them off or drilled them down first, I will never come back here again. They 100% lost a customer.

    AMAZING salon. been going for 7 months and i've never been disappointed. Michael did a wonderful job on my nails! I've been getting my nails done for 10 years and I just got my favorite set ever. Great color selection and friendly staff. Been recommending my friends

    Done by Candy
    Shirley T.

    I started coming to the salon during the pandemic when my other salon was closed down. They were one of the few salons in the area that was open so I can see why a lot of people gave them a chance. I started going to Candy, because based on the reviews she was the best technician. And while she definitely does a beautiful and clean nail shape, she lacks in the design aspect and is a little rough when doing your nails. Whenever I would give her a simple enough design it would turn out nothing at all like the photo, and she wouldn't even care if you told her they did not look the same. She would brush me off and tell me to dry my nails. It was extremely frustrating every time. Because I'm extremely picky and she does do a nice nail shape, I decided to compromise and do solid colors with her only. Although in the end, I ended up switching salons because she's very rough when she files/buffs your nails. To the point that she would cut my cuticles every single time and if I flinched or told her it hurts, she would completely disregard it. I've noticed that to be a pattern in the reviews and other people that I know came to the salon. This is not something I could tolerate biweekly, added to the fact that she was not good at doing nail designs. The appointment system was also nonexistent. Despite making set appointments with Candy, I never started on time. I would see them write down the appointments into a notepad but never actually check the notepad when people arrived. If you're here for a quick manicure or pedicure, go for it but as a recurring salon it's really a risk.

    Taken just three hours after service.

    I hate that I have to write this review. I was really looking forward to making this my go-to nail shop. I came across this nail salon last month on a whim. One day I decided to walk around Williamsburg until I could find a decent nail shop that would allow last-minute walk ins for a pedicure. I found here and they took me! I was pleased with my pedi. I also saw that Candy did decent nail designs, so I cancelled my appointment with a nail shop in the city, and decided to try her. At the time, it ended up being more convenient for my upcoming schedule, so it worked out perfectly. My set turned out great. Candy did a good job. So I knew I'd be coming back. I made an appointment to come in for a fill and a pedi. The pedi - WORST SERVICE EVER. First, I asked the technician not to cut too much off my toenails. Not only did she cut it down to my skin, she cut it into an OBVIOUS downward slope. I had to ask Candy to fix it. She agreed she saw the issue but made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. She just replied, "don't worry, it'll grow back." I'm sorry, that doesn't work for me. I would've expected her to offer to put an extension on it so it could look halfway decent. But no. I let it be. Then came to my fill. The color I chose kept bubbling. Candy kept filing it down and fixing and I asked if I should choose another color b/c this one wasn't cooperating and kept saying that there was no issue with the color. Mind you, she was getting just as frustrated with the color as I was. This kept me at the nail salon wayyyy longer than I should've been there. Once I got home, I noticed that half the gel on my toes came off, and my nails..color was bubbling AGAIN! On top of everything, I noticed that my big toe was burning way too much for comfort, AND the bottom of my right foot had been scraped too deep with the callus remover. It's beyond painful. The pain really started hitting me the next day. I called the next day once they opened and explained everything. They told me to come back in to fix it. Fast-forward today, (as I sit in the pedi chair to type this)...With my nails, I told Candy I'd rather just change the color. It's obvious this one is faulty. She insisted on there being no problem with the color and if I wanted to change it, I had to pay $20. Honestly, I was so fed up, I probably would've paid HAD I NOT OVERHEARD THEM CHARGE SOMEONE ELSE $15 for her gel polish change!!!! When I mentioned it to Candy, she said "No. It's $20." Very dumbfounded. With my toe, they fixed the two toes that were messed up. I showed her the toe that was nicked and bleeding, and the bottom of my right foot where it was cut deep. No remorse. Not even an apology. Candy just looked at it and so "Oh, ok you just wanted to let us know? She will fix your toe for you." And walked off. I am now on my way to Urgent Care to have it treated so it doesn't become infected. I'm also in a wedding this weekend, and I can't walk in heels b/c of the pain. I've never had such a horrible experience at a nail salon. And all of this really sucks b/c after living in NYC for almost six years, I finally find a nail salon I thought was worth making my go-to (decent price, decent nails, close to home) but after this, I can't imagine myself going back.

We showed up at the wrong location and they waited for us to essentially start 15 minutes later. I appreciated that. The Williamsburg location was more spacious and seemed newer. The Greenpoint location seemed cozy. My technician was Elena and she was really sweet. The tools seemed to be thoroughly sanitized and the filer seemed to be brand new, which I appreciated. I think the price is around $60 plus an extra $5 on each nail that has a design. Total was probably around $70 not including tip. I tipped Elena $20 because she was so sweet, she was amazing. I wanted something classy but glitzy and chose a pinkish color and a shiny glittery one. At the last minute after the gel mani was almost done, I asked for some designs. I think they didn't have the type of crystals and add ons that I really liked but opted to do two nails with designs anyway. I chose a dry flower design and three crystals. The technician was very patient but I don't think they had the proper tools to pick up the crystals. The tweezers weren't pointy enough to apply the crystals so it took some maneuvering but it finally made it on. It seems like the 3D designs aren't commonly done here. The final result I am decently happy with. We also got a quick hand massage and 5 minute back massage so that was a nice add on. My short stubby nails seemed to be elongated with the way my nails are shaped. I absolutely loved the glittery polish, I should have done all my fingers with this instead of the pink color. The 3D designs are okay, not the best and the flower fell off after 3 days, so I wouldn't recommend doing 3D designs here. My friend had a complaint about the nails and we were able to work with the owner to get her nails redone, so the service is quite good. If you have any issues, I recommend contacting them immediately to see if they can do something for you.

That is a huge plus for me. They made sure you were comfortable. What I loved about this place was they have a Cafe inside. Who doesn't want to sip a chai or cocktail while getting a pedicure? Lol. Their cafe prices were very reasonable. As far as the service, my technician was extremely nice however the service wasn't worth the money at all. I regret getting my nails done because that is something I don't play with. I regret not going to my usual nail salon that is pretty much perfect. I just felt like taking a drive and trying a new spot. I won't return. My nails were mediocre and there was dried gel polish on my skin that I removed in the car. In my opinion, a technician sees your hands and they have a light so to be honest I shouldnt have to correct much,but that's my opinion. My toenails were okay as well. I've had much neater and precise paint jobs on both my gel mani and regular pedicure. It has been four days and I definitely have a some chip polish on my fingernails. Cute decor. Cute area. Parking wasn't bad either. Salon clean and you can choose to have your services done in their garden area or inside. Update: nails didn't even last a week. Was chipped and peeling.

It just been many misses the past months. I got this time a gel acrylic tip. I asked for short almond with a yellow French tip design. Everything was just so rushed and unorganized. They had so many people come in and they want to attend all but it's only three females working and all shuffling around each other. Literally all three woman did different things to partake in doing my nails and still they came out so bad. I'm not one to complain because I just feel so uncomfortable having to do so but even if I did I couldn't because they had already started working on 5 other people they said yes to while only being 3 workers working ! So I would've needed to wait even longer to get them fixed. My thumbs were two different shapes. And my nails just looked so bad they shaped them in like 4 minutes all my 10 fingers which I feel takes time but they didn't bc they all rushing and just taking on more than they can so my nails were all just not shaped or buffed out and smoothed out at all. Making the shape look so bad from the sides as you can see. And then the paint job was awful! It was so bulky and looking like waves on my nails which you can see in the pictures and especially on the sides how bad it all looks. I left so sad and defeated because I paid $60 for this job and left a tip to make it $70! Just to come home and remove it all. Then the past months I get a gel manicure on my nails very simple manicure of just gel and they start chipping within 5 days never did it use to do that but three times I've gone and that's what I ended up with so it's time for me to just not come here anymore they gone so downhill

    As of December 2024:…read more I've been a client of theirs for almost 2 years now and adore their weekday deals and services! Honestly I don't have a go-to manicurist because, in my opinion, the ladies who have served me (usually) did an excellent job- minus some accidental hiccups. Overall, the employees are professional, can read the room, and do a nice job. The price is reasonable for the location (especially) with the weekday specials. The music is excellent as they play a playlist of lofi hits. Most of the clients also keep to themselves whenever I visit so the ambience is peaceful, especially for those who need a rest from NYC's busy life. The color variety and quality brands they curate are excellent too so there will be a color you can find even if the one that you initially wanted is discounted (I'm looking at you silver!!!). Pros: Service is professional and on time Variety of quality colors and brands Appointments made through website, app, phone or in person Walk ins available but not recommended at peak time Clean bathroom Coat check Clean space Peaceful ambience Front desk service Free drinks (wine, tea, water, hot chocolate) Accepts cash and card/contactless Accepts cash or venmo payment for tips Price reasonable with specials from Mon-Thurs Conveniently located near the B62/B32 and G train Cons: Gets very busy, especially for walk ins Definitely a nice nail shop locally made in Greenpoint

Her talent is unmatched--she's detailed, creative, and always gets the design just right. Whether you have a full idea or just a concept, she brings it to life with care and precision. I'm including photos her designs because they're too good not to share. I also want to give love to Rachu, who gave me an amazing pedicure. She was so thoughtful and professional, and the massage chairs were everything. The pedicure space is incredibly relaxing and super clean--such a great setup. We were greeted with warm hospitality and offered wine, tea, coffee, or water as soon as we arrived, which added to the relaxing vibe. Primp and Polish is the full package--beautiful space, top-tier talent, and service that makes you feel truly cared for. Can't wait to come back!
