    Nail Art
    Jaslin S.

    My go to spot! Love the service and how my nails always stay on point. Make an appointment in advance. Some of the nail esthetician have been able to do nail art as well. They do a very clean job and there is a 7 day warranty Incase anything chips off.

    Every time I get a dip manicure here it cracks within 1 week, but didn't complain. This time my thumbs are completely discolored/yellow within 4 days. Can't go here anymore.

    Fresh nails !!

    I've been going to them for a few months and never had a bad nail job. Their prices are also great.

    I appreciate the effort that went into my nails but my right hand a day after feels like it went to war. 4 out of the 5 nails have cuts under the cuticles from filing too hard. I also asked for almond shape but sadly, none of my nails have the same shape and the top clear coat is very lumpy.

    The lumps and finish is so ugly and isn't done correctly at all (pictures actually make them look better than they are)

    My pedicure was so fast I feel like I blinked and she was done. Then I asked for dip on my nails. The lady that is suppose to great people when they come in removed the dip from my nails. She was extremely rough and rude. Between her rolling her eyes and snatching my hand around I really wanted to walk out! The dip on my nails is so lumpy and uneven I can't wait to get back to my regular nail salon. My total was $116 and I gave them $120. The same lady that greets people is the one that took my payment. Once she realized I wasn't giving more than $120 she stated "you know this isn't 15%" meanwhile my nails don't even look worth $116. This place looks nice but the service is garbage. It was two gentlemen that came in why I was there and requested a 45 min $60 dollar pedicure. They left upset because the pedicures they received were no longer that 25 minutes.

    2 months after I got my gel removal, and my nails are still recovering.

    This place is really a hit or miss when it comes to how well your manicure/pedicure go. I've had two experiences coming here - the first one was fine, but after my second time I'm probably not coming back. They removed my gel polish so roughly that my nails are still recovering two months later. Also for those always wondering if their nail technicians are talking about them in a foreign language - These technicians will do that. I was excited to see a new nail place pop up within walking distance of where I live. FiDi can be kind of a bust when it comes to finding good places for anything. A majority of the nail technicians here are Chinese, and they'll talk in mandarin to each other. Usually it's mundane things like they're tired, or they have a busy week. Once in a while, they'll talk shit about customers. They always assume you can't understand. I can understand. The first time I came during a weeknight to get a last minute gel manicure for a friend's wedding. The wait was really long but I thought the manicure ended up good. Lighting in the place is awful, so be prepared to choose one color and leave the place realizing it looks really different in natural sunlight. The second time I came here was a complete disaster. After having a fine experience with my gel manicure I thought I'd give this place a second go. I asked for a mani pedi, but no gel to give my nails a rest. While I was choosing a nail color, the nail technician doing my nails told me to go to the "second chair" when I was done for my pedicure. I went to the second chair from the back. When the nail technician comes up to me, she looks upset and irritated, but doesn't say anything. I look over to the second chair from the front and realize that was the one she wanted me to go to and already had it set up. I quickly apologize and ask her if she wants me to switch - She says no, but then mutters in Chinese "I'm already setting this new chair up so what's the point?" She does my pedi and seems to be seething the whole time. I shrug it off, people have bad days and I get that. When we're getting to gel removal, she used a metal cuticle pusher to scrape the gel off after soaking it. I read online afterwards that you should never do that, otherwise you'll risk damaging the nail. Post gel removal, my nail technician starts to paint with the color I chose but does the streakiest, most transparent job ever. At this point she's started speaking to her friend next to her and questioning whether I'll tip well. She's still in a foul mood and I just want to leave at this point, bad manicure and all. I ended up tipping 20% (which I thought was reasonable, but definitely not worth what she did) and then leaving with the paint still not fully dried. They ended up getting messed up earlier anyways when the fan the technician put me under wasn't on and I had to turn it on myself. I didn't want to ask her for another coat because I didn't really want to deal with her anymore. Two months later all I have left from this is messed up nails and a bad taste in my mouth from my experience there. See attached pictures for my damaged nails. It took me two months to post a review - mostly because I'm not a fan of getting mad at a business (especially for the actions of one person) but after talking with others who get gel all the time, they've never seen damage like this and I thought it'd be important to warn others.

    Honestly not bad , went in at like 5pm so it wasn't busy . I did a classic mani pedi , the girl was nice . She didn't speak much . The price $39something , plus tip . The nail polish was opi, so far so good . I even sat on the dryer for like 20-30 mins because I want this to last . The place was clean , and she opened up the nail cutter package thingy which is good and wore gloves so that's a plus . she also did a light foot massage which I always appreciate ( you probably have to pay more for a real foot massage) I'm giving 4 stars to see if the nail polish can hold for a few days , if it does I'll go can change it lol ! ( this pic is day two , I have a litttttle chip on my thumb , but it's fine nothing really bad )

    Look at my cuticles they didn't even try after cutting me

    Very rushed service, nicked my cuticle and didn't take care of the rest. The nail polish application was shit too. I still tipped for effort and service.

    Had a great first experience at only nails only to have a horrible second experience. They charge you $5 for powder removal even when they did the last set - ridiculous. Taking my business back to Affina, the best nail salon in the area. Horrible job, see photos.

    Cut cuticles
    Krizia C.

    There must be a curse on this street because both nail places literally a couple of feet from one another are terrible!!! I love around the corner and ventured off my usual Affinity nails on Fulton to try this spot since it recently opened. What a mistake!!! Don't let the cute decor fool you. The work here, at least with my manicurist was probably the worst work I've ever received on a gel manicure and pedicure. I get a mani pedi every two weeks and must have had thousands done and this one ranks as the worst work of them all! I was paired with Tina who butchered my nails. Filed them down to no return. Cut my cuticles till the bled. Left chunks of nail polish instead of a smooth look. Didn't even cover the entire nail with paint. Ugh so so disappointed. The pedicure was terrible. No massage, cold water even when I asked to warm it and just had bad bad. I can't even express how bad it was. Just look at the photos to judge for yourself! If you're in this neighborhood go to Affiniy! They have a wait because they are truly the best!

    Then trying to bribe people. Don't fall for this!

    I keep returning back here because the quality of their regular manicure polish is so good but the quality of work and cleanliness is so poor that I am never coming back again. 1. I'm sure most of their reviews here are "paid for in kind". Proof in picture of signs everywhere in the salon asking for yelp reviews. New clients beware. 2. You know those hot towels they use to wrap and wipe your hands and feet? I saw a lady bring up a handful of towels from the basement, dumped them into the basin if the pedicure station, ran the hose/bum-gun on them to get it wet, and distributed them to other ladies to put into the hot towel warmer. I should've walked out then and there but I was dumb. 3. My polish was applied so unevenly and carelessly even after I tipped 25%. So so so disappointing. I'm sure this place will stay around for a while because it is one of the nicer ones in the neighborhood - isn't that sad? I'm also pretty sure they are own by the same people that owns affinia (same ikea decor aesthetic, same uniforms, cross-over workers, same signs informing customers of types of nail shape and get 5% off if you pay cash). Next time I won't let the laziness get the better of me and I'll just schlep to better salons in other neighborhoods.

    Very sweet ladies and quick wonderful service. Selina really took her time with my nails. A little pricey for a Queens gal but definitely worth it! Officially my new go-to spot by my job.

    The French nail polish shipped after few hours.

Since I've stumbled upon this spot, I've never looked back. It's easy to make an appointment here: I recommend making it through Yelp, so they can set you up with someone who specializes in the service you're looking for. Appointments can be made a week in advance, and there's always availabilities. If you're more spontaneous though, they can almost always accommodate walk ins too! Miki is my girl. I always get gel nails and love a good nail art moment, and Miki can always pull off any design I bring to the table. She's freehanded all sorts of crazy designs for me, and I get compliments from people all the time about them. I don't know what they put in these gel nails either, but they last super well. All my sets have lasted long enough for my nails to grow out, get cut, and then some. I'm a nurse, so I wash my hands all the time, but these nails not only stay on, but stay uncracked! I've had nails from here that lasted 2-3 months easily. Also, if you're into cat eye polish, this place has a lot of color options! They also do a lot of unique cat eye patterns, and they do the cat eye heart design super well. Anyway, give this place a shot! You can't go wrong with them!
