    Stop by for a walk-in gel manicure with french tips. Grace was my tech and she was very meticulous which made my nails turn out so beautiful. Simple and classy for functionality and it came out to $65 ($80 with tip). It's located in a small plaza downstairs but it's the first store you see. Slow day for a Friday but the girls are ready to take care of you.

    Definitely not worth the $160 and here's exactly why. I'm very disappointed how the first experience I had here. Starting with setting up with my appointment through a phone call, I called them to confirm that I would like an appointment at 12PM. They said there were available and as the day comes, I went in the shop at 12:03. They told me to sit and I waited for over 40 minutes until they finally get to do my nails. I complained about the lack of organization of scheduling the appointment time as I did mention to them I waited for over 40 minutes. (AND on top of that, I had another appointment at 3PM on the same day after this, so yes, they made me late for my 3PM appointment so I have every reason to be very upset.) I saw them discussing and going over the pricing saying that the original price was $180 and gave me a discount of $148 without the tax. I find it very suspicious as another customer her nails were only $150. They were basically ripping me off, but I was too nice and so done with the poor service and accommodation to the delay of the appointment. (I also did not have time to set up another nail appointment in the future before my trip to japan so I went with it anyway.) It just shows that they could care less about their customers which clearly shows their lack of understanding and professionalism. Moving forward, the place was not great due to the infestation of flies and bugs flying around and crawling on the ground. They left a fly swatter on one of the guests couches so it was very unsanitary. (Again, clearly shows they could care less about their customers. And yes, it had bug guts on it...) As they finally brought me in to do my nails, the woman who was designing my nails could've done a better job. Even I had to assist her on the placements of the flower petals I wanted. (Like why am I assisting her on the placements of the flowers, it was like I was worker there and she didn't do much about designing my nails. All I was doing is moving the flower petals to make it more neat but decided not to do much as I will show you a picture of the flowers she did.) It was not honestly that hard to move a flower petals to make a flower but unfortunately, it just came to be crooked. Not only that but she got rid of the sparkling pink nails I originally wanted. Of course in the end, I absolutely did not give them a tip as they do not deserve it if they continue to be unprofessional. And I could care less about them giving me a free ring and most of the rings didn't look so appealing. If anything they could've given me five free rings to accommodate for their lack of organization. Highly recommend NOT to go to the nail salon if you don't want to be late.

    I've never written a poor review ever but felt it was warranted after this visit. Essentially, this place is overpriced for the quality of service that was provided. This was my first experience at MG and I'm sorry to say it was a poor experience as I had high hopes based on the various good reviews in comparison to many other salons around the area. I chose this salon as they had a late closing time at 8:30pm which fitted our needs. I called in at around 6pm hoping to get a pedicure appointment for my friend and I, and was grateful to be told that they were able to accommodate us for 6:30p. My friend also wanted to get her current gel nails removed and do gel x extensions with some simple designs if time would allow, which was expressed over the phone. Once we got there at around 6:40p, we were let in and asked if we were the 6:30 appt. All the staff were occupied and we were told to sit. I asked to sit where with no reply given, so we just sat ourselves by the front area with stools. The staff weren't welcoming but could be understood since they were all busy. Two other customers were already getting pedicures at the moment with two others getting their nails done as well. Eventually one of the customers finished, and my friend was seated to remove her gel nails which began at around 7pm. At around 7:30p, one of the staff approached me and asked if I wanted to do a regular or gel pedicure and told me regular is $30 and gel is $60 in Chinese. I translated that to my friend as she doesn't speak Chinese and proceeded to tell the staff I wanted to do regular. I was then seated by this staff member after one of the two pedicure customers left. Perhaps I wasn't clear or she misunderstood, but I ultimately ended up with a gel set. She gave me an array of colors to choose from and I told her I wanted a milky white/light pink. She gave me a disclaimer that some of the colors are gonna be too light so I avoided choosing those numbers. I ended up picking a milky white color that wasn't the numbers she mentioned, and she began painting them. After picking my color she began to apply the base coat and I trusted she knew what she was doing as she worked quickly but diligently to prep my nails, so I began to scroll on my phone and was distracted. A little after 8pm, I noticed she was curing my nails, which confused me as I thought I had chosen a reg pedi but I figured maybe that was just part of the process as I hadn't gotten my nails done in over 3 years but never had a problem in previous salons I've been to. At the same time my friend was seated next to me, and we were literally having a conversation as I was expressing to her why I didn't like gel for my toes in English. I picked up a phone call a little after and by the time I had hung up the staff had finished by 8:15pm and cleaned/packed up everything. A different staff walked over saw my pedicure and made a disapproving face- to which the staff responded "I already let her know that the color might not show up very well on the toes, I even added in another color to fill it in". At the time I vaguely noticed that my right foot was more even while my left foot polish was more opaque, but I thought maybe it was the lighting/angle (the left foot polish is definitely lighter/spotty than the right foot) At checkout, I was charged 60 + tax and told that it was gel. At that point I figured there was no point in making it awkward and complaining as it was close to closing time and I was waiting for my friend to finish, which likely was gonna put them past closing. My total after tip for the single color gel pedicure was $75. I felt like the staff should've told me what she added (I have no clue) or could've offered if I wanted another coat (as I've picked a similar color at another salon before and was offered) before finishing and packing up while I was on the phone. Upon closer inspection, although I got a fresh pedicure, aside from the difference in color, it looks as if the job on my left foot was rushed. It's uneven and it's like my nail is already grown out on the left foot as the polish wasn't painted as close to the cuticle as it should be. Eventually my friend who got gel x extensions with simple designs along with a gel pedi finished at around 9pm. I've attached the pic of her nails with the design she asked for. The design on her left hand middle finger did not match her right hand middle finger and is the only outlying design in her whole hand. Her total was ~$215 + tax ($150 nails+$60 pedi) and with tip $240. I'm not sure if the staff were rushing due to the time crunch, but if the time was the problem, they should've declined certain services instead of slacking on quality. Hopefully these will at least last a few weeks for us both, in which I'll update in my review. Overall it's disappointing because it felt like we overpaid as we've both gotten way more complex designs in the past with better service, quality and pricing.

    The girls here are always so sweet. Been coming for a year now. I've mostly gotten my nails done by Nancy and Grace, they are the sweetest and fun to talk to. I get simple/no design a lot of the times on my natural nails but I keep coming back bc their work is so clean.

    Ive been coming here since August of 2022 and this has become the only place where I'll get my nails done. Momo is my go to person and she puts so much care into making sure my nails are even and shaped the way I want. My nails rarely break and they always do their best to get the color I want by using a few colors and letting me choose which one I want. Overall, would recommend this place for anyone looking for a reliable nail service!!!

    I am obsessed with their Gel X extension sets. Mia is my go to nail tech. She is very meticulous and she takes her time doing my nails. I never feel rushed or unheard. She takes all my questions seriously and tries her best to work with my difficult requests. (Granted I speak Chinese... if you can't speak Chinese. It might be a bit more challenging.) There's a good mix of Chinese and non-Chinese customers every time I am here. They are almost always busy and rarely take walk-ins, so make sure you make an appointment ahead of time. Personally I feel that their prices are a bit on the pricey side. But the quality of their products and service somewhat makes up for it??? I only splurge on nails every other month. I paid $215 for the witch bitch killer claws. I did this back in October for Halloween obviously. It took 3 hours to complete. They charge $85 for the new set and $130 for the design. Charms are usually $5-$10 each depending on the size; Hand drawn designs are $2-$8 per details depending on how complicated it is. I also asked them to paint the bottom of my claws blood red, so it cost an extra $30. This is literally the most expensive set of nails I've ever done. I got the a gel pedicure and the white Gel X extensions tips today. They charged $50 for the pedicure and $85 for the manicure. So it didn't break my wallet too much. I usually tip between 20-23%.

    This is not ombre.

    I find the place dishonest after my second time coming here. I got a gel mani, regular pedi, gel removal. My total was 123 before tip. For my mani, I asked for a natural pink to white-ish ombre and was charged extra for it (75). Absolutely no one that I showed these nails to thinks this is ombré. I insisted at multiple stages nicely that this doesn't look ombré and that it doesn't look pink. She insisted it did (yes, my nail beds not the actual ombré itself) and was pushy for me to say yes and not correct her mistake. Her attempt was asking if I wanted the ends more white which was exactly what I said I didn't want so she resumed doing what she was doing. It looks like a regular one color and they are not what I asked for. For my pedi, I used the same color as my first visit, but it came out so much thinner the second time around and the paint job was horrible. I don't want to make any accusations, but it feels off here with the thinning... I also did not see my nail tech use a bottom coat so I will be removing the nail job. I did not say anything about this while it was happening because I didn't think much of it in the moment, but after this collective experience, there's no way I would've missed that. It was a lazy pedi. I would try the other places in the area instead and read through the other non-5 star reviews to get a better perspective on some common issues. This one has more photos and reviews than the other neighboring businesses, but most photos were uploaded by the business. I like to support asian owned businesses and have had family experienced in this work, but I don't appreciate the dishonesty and the work I received overall from this second visit. I will not be supporting them moving forward.

    The women who did my nails was absolutely AMAZING! She went slow and took her time and kept redoing the designs until she got them absolutely perfect! Highly recommend and I will definitely bring coming back in the future!

    My girl was a sweetheart! She was SO DETAILED WITH EVERYTHING. She was so attentive. I'm taking my friend tomorrow for her to get her nails and I'm gonna get my eyelashes done too! ALSO BRING CASH

    I've gotten my nails done in a lot of flushing nail salons and this one is my favorite. I'm definitely coming back whenever I'm in town and need my nails done. I called to ask if they had a wait time since I didn't make an appointment. There was no wait and I was taken care of right away. I forgot to ask for the nail techs name but she did great on my nails. We didn't talk much but she was a great tech nonetheless. I showed her an example of what I would like and she suggested her ideas to me as well. The reviews are true, the techs are super meticulous with designs and they do take their time.

    It's my # 1 go to place for nail art. It was $180 for my mani pedi with nail art with a honey and milk spa add on without taxes or tip. They always have the cleanest lines and the attention to detail. I've been to several places where I was either turned down because they don't do nail art or places that just don't compare. They will mix colors here if they don't have the color that matches the ones in the pictures you show them. They execute as good if not better than the original images I show them. I can't speak highly enough of any place. Also they always honor the $5 off nail art.

    I can't stop looking at my nails!…read more I've never done my nails outside before, so I was excited when my friend suggested doing our nails here. The spa is located on the second floor. Make sure to call to secure a spot, as they can easily get booked! The place is cash only, with tax if you Venmo/Zelle. The place was very chill, with the nail techs chatting with each other throughout my experience while they casually work their magic. I got the Gel Manicure ($40). They started off asking me to pick a color from a selection of books. Then the nail tech asked what shape I wanted, and began filing, shaping, and trimming my cuticles. Note to self and other nail newbies that nails need to grow out super long if you want square gel nails, to prevent the gel from touching your skin. The process was overall very relaxing, and fascinating for me to see the amount of care the lady puts into perfecting my nails. The process took around 1 hour 30 minutes, and even with my first time nails, the lady was chill and accommodated with patience, tips, and skill in making the gel manicure work on my short nails. Both my friend and I were very satisfied. My friend had the Regular Manicure ($15) and she noted how they added a finishing nail enamel spray, which other places don't do. Consider Arete for your next girls self care day!

    Extremely Disappointed After 2+ Years of Loyalty -- Very Money-Hungry Business That Doesn't Value…read moreCustomers My sister and I have been loyal, consistent clients at this salon for over two years. Sadly, our recent experience has shown that they care more about money than treating their customers with basic respect and professionalism. I sent a deposit to secure an appointment, clearly expecting it to go toward the booking. At no point did I say it was a tip. The owner had previously canceled on me last minute, and I was understanding. Instead of asking for a refund, I chose to reschedule. When rescheduling, I was told a time with no clarification of AM or PM. Since I asked for the earliest slot, I assumed AM. I traveled from Brooklyn to Queens early in the morning and waited 45 minutes without a single response to my texts or calls. Hours later, I was finally told to come back. Frustrated but still loyal, I canceled other plans and returned--only to be offered a free manicure to make up for the mix-up. That day, my Uber costs alone were over $100--more than the cost of the service. Given all the inconvenience, I chose not to leave a tip, which is well within my rights as tipping is optional. I usually always tip, but not after that experience. Later, I was refused service completely--because I wanted to apply the deposit I had already sent toward a new appointment rather than let them keep it as a tip. Denying a loyal customer over something so small and unjustified is beyond unprofessional. This business lost two long-time clients over a situation that could've been resolved with basic communication and decency. If you value your time, money, and being treated with respect--go elsewhere And I'm happy you responded the way you did because you only proved my point more of how viewed your customers as optional and I wasn't valued as a customer after 2 years of loyalty and consistent tipping !

    I've been trying different facial places for awhile and I finally found one that I love! This…read morebeauty spa is located on Union Street on the second floor of one of the buildings so it might be a bit difficult to find the first time going there. I like that the doors are locked and you must be buzzed in to enter. You can either ring the doorbell or knock the door. There is a sofa waiting area in case all the rooms are occupied and a restroom with a bunch of general beauty supplies. There are 4 rooms, 2 larger rooms with 2 beds each and 2 smaller rooms with 1 bed each. The place offers a wide variety of services from facial, to massage, to microblading. Even for facials, there are so many different packages! I like the various machines they have to suit your needs. I have tried micro dermabrasion, oyxgenation, an infrared light machine, and a depuffing cold machine. I also like the icy refreshing mask they put at the end for about 20 minutes along with a heated shoulder/neck pad which allows me to relax and take a nap. Most of all, I like how the staff truly wants to help you look your best and not just sell you their products and packages. The first time I was helped by Amy who was very friendly and I felt was not pushy at all. As a result, I purchased one of their packages which includes 10 facials and continued to return. Since then, I've been serviced by Linda who is also amazing! At the end of the facial, they usually pour you a cup of water to keep you hydrated! And they have a little snack bar in case you're hungry as well as mints. Very cute and safe environment! Highly recommend!

    Very thorough, clean, and professional…read more I appreciate all the time and attention they put into my facial especially when it was cutting it close to closing time. Tops some of the other spas I've been too. They didn't try to push any packages or services on me. They didn't even bother about covering tax costs for the Groupon I redeemed on my visit. I'm definitely coming back. Very relaxing.
