    This was the sns nails they did it chipped and lifted the next day!

    The staff here are very rude and unfriendly. I feel extremely unwelcome as soon as I walk in and the whole time I'm there. They act like customers are an inconvenience. Did they forget that without us they wouldn't be in business! I used to go to the one on Riverdale Avenue which is the same business. There are a couple of nicer staff at that location but overall they're rude. One day I walked in and took a friend there they attended to her and completely ignored me and when I asked what's was going on they spoke to me like crap. They're always speaking to each other in their language which there's nothing wrong with but a tad rude when you're in front of customers as most don't know what they're saying and it makes you feel uncomfortable. One customer even said I know you're talking about me. Not to mention they use unsterilized equipment. It's supposed to be sanitized between clients. They also dip the nail in the dip powder container which means they dip everyone's nails in the same container instead of putting it on a separate container. Overall they are unfriendly, rude and unsanitary and with everything going on with COVID etc they should be happy they have customers at all. I've spent a lot of money there but they won't be getting money from me anymore! Don't go there! This was the sns nails they did it chipped and lifted the next day! I went back and Jayden offers me a gel manicure in exchange which is $35. The SNS manicure was $45 plus tax. So I say what about the other $10 and he says I can give you a pedicure. Remember he says "I'll give it to you" I even had a witness. Then at the end he tries to charge me $22 for the pedicure! I was disgusted! He said clearly, "I'll include the pedicure as an exchange. I mean what was gonna happen with the $10 they owed me! They're the ones that did the shitty job. Never again are we going back to that salon. They make sick! Not to mention as soon as I walked in one of the staff started laughing and talking about me and looking at me! Their attitude is disgusting I won't waste my hard-earned money there ever again!

    Sadly, I came here with an open Mind to find my new "go to" nail place. Unfortunately I was terribly disappointed! My gel manicure & pedicure lasted only 3 days! This has never happened to me. Pedicures usually last so long. And Gel manicures are always great Except this place. They did a poor job! Do NOT spend your money here it seems they water down their products. The staff is not friendly . I had a young male who was very brief with his words. I thought maybe there was a language barrier but he actually spoke good English. This place has a sister nail spot on 235th and Johnson in riverdale . They are probably worse with customer service. I honestly will never be back to this place. So here I begin my search again for my "go to" nail salons.

    First day you can see the bubble and how If could lift !

    If I could give it half or 0 I would. My nail broke clean off after 2 days and it was hard gel which never is supposed to happen. With hard gel you are only supposed to have a fill in and no redo for a year. I had pictures of the day of because looking at my nail I had a feeling this could happen. The nail was not prepped correctly And the owner came in to "help". Really what they did was rush the process to get me out fast and take my money. I wish I had a picture of how they were placing the hard gel . Do not waste your hard earned money here , they don't care about quality they just make it look decent to then have it break off so they can charge you more. Ridiculous! I am sick of money hungry nail salons like this . They should have their license taken away as well for being so Careless and unsanitary!

    I've been searching for a nail salon that does quality work in my area for a while and every single place I've been to either had horrible service or my nails would look horrible immediately even with powder dip or gel manicures. That is until I found nails on Riverdale. I went I'm yesterday and got an SNS ombre manicure by Summer. She was very kind, took her time and even redid a couple nails because she didn't like how it came out. I love how my nails came out. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because it did take a long time, but I honestly prefer that than someone rush through and not do a good job. This will now be my go to nail salon for the foreseeable future. I will update my review with how long my manicure lasts. I'm guessing it will be about 3 weeks because the girl getting her nails done next to me had said it was 3 weeks for her and her nails still looked in tack.

    Gel manicure

    It was a very clean place. Average gel manicure job. They didn't have samples of the colors like most places have to see the color, not just in the bottle, but painted on a nail. I picked a color and it was nothing like what I thought it would be so I had to switch colors which I'm not too upset about but disappointed. It was really nothing special. Nice staff. Got a massage which was so good. Might try again to give it a second shot.

    I used to come here often when I was in high school, and Angela and/ or Joe would do an amazing job. However, I had no time to wait and went to a random nail tech who did the absolute opposite of what I asked. I wanted square shape but some came out crooked and some came out coffin shaped. I gave her the benefit of the doubt to fix it with the file after she finished with the actual acrylic work but continued to disappoint me. The step before washing my hands then painting she cut me three times and it stung so bad I literally started crying lol. I was so unhappy and the other nail technicians saw the situation and offered for me to go to Angela who had just finished with another client. I would have had her fix the job if I wasn't on a time limit (she was busy when I first walked in which is why I didn't go to her in the first place). Any-who, the pictures speak for themselves

    Nails on Riverdale has been my go-to nail salon for months and I usually go about every 3 weeks. I am almost always extremely happy with the quality of the manicure I get (there was one time where the shape of my nails came out pretty bad, but I let it slide, I don't expect any place to be absolutely perfect all of the time). Today the nail tech completely ruined my nails. Not the polish, not the shape, ALL OF MY ACTUAL NAILS. I came in with gel polish that I asked to have removed and that I would do regular polish today. I was told it would cost $6 just for the gel polish removal. Totally fine. Throughout the filing process of this manicure (to remove the gel and to shape the nails) the nail tech was very rough with my nails and I saw pretty immediately that she had broken one significantly. She proceeds to glue it. I then noticed another nail looked chipped or broken. She agrees that it is broken and points to another that has been broken. There is no point in me leaving with multiple broken nails only held together by glue, so at this point I tell her I no longer want the nail polish, don't want her to do any additional filing or shaping, nor anything else to my nails. No sorry, no nothing, she rings me up at the register and tells me the "manicure" costs $10 (so, $6 to remove the gel polish and $4 to BREAK MY NAILS). I will never go back.

    RENAMED TO NAILS & BUBBLES!! I am a regular here. I come roughly once a month because the powder…read moregel nail polish lasts a full month on my nails without cracking or breaking at all! It's amazing how long lasting it is. The service is excellent, and the quality of the way they do my nails is so high that I get TONS of compliments regularly on the shape of my nails and the way they look. Similarly, the vibe inside is so peaceful and relaxing, and I just feel calm and never bored while they are doing my nails. This place makes me so happy! I HIGHLY recommend.

I've tried a few nail…read moresalons in the Riverdale area, and unfortunately the experience is consistently disappointing. I usually drive to the Heights for services because I know I'll receive quality care there, but this weekend I decided to stay local -- and I regret it. The reviews mentioned Peter, but my experience with him was far from positive. While doing my pedicure, he called over coworkers and made comments in their language. One of them even looked down at my feet and laughed along with the others. It was very clear they were making fun of me, which left me feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. No customer should ever feel mocked during a service. On top of that, the pedicure itself felt rushed and careless. I did my nails Friday by Saturday they were already chipped. He barely scrubbed my feet, and I had to ask him to address my cuticles properly. For a service I was paying for, the effort and professionalism just weren't there. Overall, the experience was unprofessional, rude, and disappointing. I would not recommend this salon.

Paid $55.00 deposit on 80 dollar fill in which left with 27 to pay. Was told I owe 70.00 dollars due to nail cut down, gel color and another 10 on acrylic color. I have never had to pay for gel color, that's usually included in fill in. I left and called the owner and told her about the 20 dollar charge on gel. She told me she has always charged for gel color. And she also informed me that I should have asked??? I have never had to pay separate for gel color. And since I had asked to cut my nails that's what the tech did. But I'm always asked HOW SHORT!! She asked me to send pics of the nails but at this point she's making sure I'm at fault so why should I send pics. But I will send the pics to her and post here. She also informed me that if she loses me as a customer it won't hurt her business. After a heated back and forth she did hang up on me.

    I'm not going to lie ....probably the worst nail service I have ever recieved. Nails turned out…read morecrooked and they charged me $65 for plain, nude colored nails. It was a fill in. The lady started on me and then when her friend came in, she told me to wait on the side for a few minutes. I wanted to slap her but just held my tongue. On top of that, they don't sterilize any of the equipment and rush while doing your nails They have turned me off from going to Washington heights and getting my nails done altogether Hell no. Would never return
