    $40 Gel "manicure" after 3 days
    N. S.

    DON'T waste your money here. Uneven shapes, chipping after 3 days and 2 thin see-through coats when the staff doing it knew it should have at least been 3 with this color. When I got home I noticed just how transparent and bad my nails looked. $40 plus tip for lopsided round nail shape and chipped "gel manicure." Would've done a better job at my house myself.

    First visit. Decent gel manicure. $30. I tried this place because I thought my place in Scarsdale was far and pricey. But I found the prices weren't much different in Mount Vernon, however the service wasn't as good and I felt that it was a "quick in and out" with Nail City. The salon is updated. Current music (pop hip hop) gave a modern vibe). Clientele varied, women of all ages were there when I went on a Friday morning. The salon is similar to the salons in town (I was actually looking for something different). They make it known that a tip is expected. At least 10 signs are posted with tip ranges for the expected 15 or 20% tip.

    Have been getting my nails and pedicures done for years in every borough.... I am picky when it comes to cleanliness and class. Nail city has been the best nail Solon that I have ever come across! I drive all the way from queens to Mt Vernon to have the best people work in me to feel back to normalcy for over 10 years. Michelle and her crew are kind polite and efficient at what they do! Amazing Amazing Amazing! Would recommend anyone here!

    I've been getting my nails done for a little over a year (consistently - true nail connoisseurs know the struggles of consistency) And Im beyond satisfied. I'm comfortable, my nails gets endless compliments, and I actually have that type of sex and the city-regular salon type of situations that we only see in the movies. Amazing girls and amazing service, and they're always willing to accommodate. Still in love and going strong.

    The salon itself is lovely. I'd give that 5/5. Now the reason for my low rating is that I went to get my nails done on Thursday. I got a simple mani and fixed one one of my toe nails ( gel pedi from another location). The service was great. The one woman who took care of my hands was very attentive and took her time. The color I chose needed 3 coats to actually show up. That was weird. Anyways, it's now Saturday and my nails are chipped on both hands. I don't do any out of the normal activities. This is the first time I've ever experienced this with a manicure. In this case, I'm not sure what to blame. However, I do know a manicure should last more than 2 days. Completely dissatisfied at this point. I wanted this to be my go-to salon since it's walking distance from my mom. The search continues. I'll be back in another salon once the week starts. Btw, the gel pedi (one toe) turned out just fine. Just in case anyone was wondering.

    After 3 days since my visit, my nails have changed discolored to an awful green/brown color (they were originally grey). Also, three have chipped. 0 stars!

    Went to Nail City today and was treated very nicely by Cindy. Loved the manicure. My nails look great. Nice, clean and trimmed.

    I've been coming here for at least 7 years or more. I love this nail shop, because it is very clean and the ambiance is really nice. It is also very spacious and the workers are really friendly and courteous. Michelle (owner) does a great job with all manicure needs. Overall great place to come and get your nail needs. They will not let you leave until you are happy with your job.

    My usual nail spot was booked solid and I wanted to pamper myself for my birthday so, I headed to…read moreInstagram and voila! The Nail Bar sparked my interest. I called the store and easily made an appointment. Please keep in mind, you must leave a $20 deposit to confirm your appointment, the deposit will be applied toward your service. I made an appointment for 5pm and arrived around 4:40pm. Parking is a little hard, the street signs were confusing but nonetheless once found, you can easily pay meters via an app. The store has no awning or storefront so I passed by it twice, they should really work on that. Visibility (aside from social media) is very important I would think for any business. Upon walking into the nail salon, I was surprised that it was really a nail bar! lol seriously, there was a bar where customers sit on one side and the technicians are on the other side doing their nails. There are also alcohol props around like tequila bottles and martini glasses filled with nail tools. Customers are pampered and primped all while sipping on wine out of clean, pristine stemless wine glasses - oh we fancy! The decor is cute but not very beautiful. It was somewhat dimly lit and the walls and furniture were all in dark colors, I would expect something a little more bright to liven up the room since it is a nail salon - but then again, are any bars bright and sparkly... not really lol, so the Nail Bar holds true to its name. For my service I had a gel manicure with design and a regular pedicure. The highlights: Pros: - Great selection of 'Kiara Sky' brand gel colors. I wish they had more OPI but the offerings were good. - Highly sanitary including disposable liners for pedicure tubs. - Once you make an appointment, they will send out reminders as well as any updates/changes via texts. - Niki Acosta did both of my services. She was truly amazing! Not only was she kind, personable, she did a wonderful job. The pedicure was done to perfection from the cutting, filing, and even foot massage. I felt great afterwards. But the magic was really in my gel manicure. I had wanted to do a pink/neutral color with caviar nail design on 2 fingers. The salon was out of the caviar beads and Niki suggested I do a "treasure nail" which includes rhinestones. I'm VERY much a plain Jane. Niki suggested I do a full nail but I was hesitant. I told her it was my birthday and I want something sparkly but simple. She gave me a pep talk about celebrating yourself, especially on your birthday. It sounds weird but it was really sweet and thoughtful. It didn't seem like she was in it for the money, but more so to ensure I had a good experience and design. I decided to go along with her suggestion. I'm so glad I did because it came out beautifully! 2 weeks later and i'm still getting compliments. The rhinestones have fallen off little by little which is expected but the manicure itself still looks great. As the night went on, I learned about Niki's talent and aspirations as a nail tech, she's very dedicated to her craft and it shows in her work. Cons: - I had an appointment for 5pm but was not seen until about 5:45pm. I'm grateful that the Niki apologized but that is just too long of a wait. As I waited to be served, no one offered me a swatch to look at the polish colors or even a magazine. I wasn't even offered a drink until I sat in the pedicure seat. I think when you have this type of business, it's not only about the service, the customer is also looking for a good and unique experience. I did not receive that initially. - The nail polish colors are behind the "bar". I typically come to a nail salon about 15 minutes in advance to pick my color. That way I'm not wasting the technician's time being indecisive and trying out a bunch of colors. To my dismay, the polish is behind the bar. The swatch of sample colors only provided a small portion of their vast collection on the wall. As a result, I sat in the pedicure chair trying to figure out which color I wanted. The same thing happened at the bar; its time consuming especially when you're the last customer for the night. Overall, I'm pleased. In total, I paid about $70 for all the noted services. I will definitely return and recommend to others.

    Horrible. I don't know how they're still in business. I much have gotten a trainee. A 1 hour…read moreservice too 3. And all pealed off the next day.

My nails are chipping after 3 days and i have Gel on. Secondly, i got over charged for my service. I've gone here before and never got charged as much as i did in this trip. My pedicure got cut short for one because the owner was rushing to get my lashes done. I asked for a hologram design and was just given a square of it that doesn't cover my full name, i asked for more and she added some glitter pieces that STILL did not cover my full nail. With the price i paid i expected a service that's way more respectable and at least expected a Good Job to be done but i was left disappointed. She lost a customer, that's all i have to say.
