Great place to get your nails done if you need a last minute appointment! I've gone here twice and have been pretty satisfied with my nails, but there was definitely room for improvement. Nail techs move quickly, which I personally appreciate. I also think their pricing is reasonable. Warning: parking here is a STRUGGLE. Luckily, I've been able to get a spot but the parking lot fits less than 12 cars lol. You might want to get here early just in case.

Jolie is fabulous! Been seeing her monthly for about 18 months. Super creative always bringing my design ideas to life! Takes her time and my service is top notch everytime!

First time customer. Came in for a pedicure before a trip to Miami. Needed to make sure my feet were looking nice! Pricing and service was great. Made a quick appointment real easy and I saw they took walk ins. Scrub and massage got me feeling great.

skin burned and peeled off from hot wax during pedi

They burnt off my toe skin and were heavy handed. When I asked them to stop touching the burnt part of my foot, they proceeded to try to pluck off the skin using the nippers they used on my nails. I will not be returning and I advise against it.

Found on yelp based on location of where I was staying for the weekend. I was able to schedule an appointment and seen immediately upon my (slightly late) arrival. I really like my dip manicure and the fact they were able to capture the nail design I requested! Parking is slim, unless the lot behind the strip mall is available. Bring cash for a 10% discount!

The nails I wanted and asked if Sam could do...

First photo shows what I wanted and asked Sam if he could do, the next 2 photos show what I got! Super impressed and was in awe. I only get acrylics and out of all the salons I've been to (check out my reviews of other nail salons) Sam was the best. This was the best almond shape I've had. He was so friendly and always double checked to make sure I was okay with what he was doing to the nails. They are very busy so I recommend calling to make an appointment at least 2 days before.

Incredibly disappointed with my experience. I've been coming here over the years as I grew up in the area, and the quality has really regressed. I went in for a basic pedicure and it was sloppy and rushed, there were bubbles in a few nails, polish over my cuticles and unevenly shaped nails. I asked to have the nails filed more evenly and nail polish cleaned up and they pedi still looked ROUGH. I pointed to where nails were filed unevenly and still needed cleaning up, but it was not getting resolved. I eventually gave up explaining and went to checkout. I told them I was extremely disappointed with my experience and they asked what they could do and that they'd have someone fix it, to which I responded "you already had someone try to fix it" and they said they could repaint my nails, which wasn't even the whole of the issue. Just a frustrating overall experience.

Ladies and gentlemen, look no further for your regular nail salon. This place is a one stop shop for it all! Everyone here is polite and friendly and fast,they literally treat you like family. I recommend Sam or Ken for nails but everyone from Sam to Tracy does an incredible job! You will not be disappointed!! Also Henry.. Your pedicures are simply amazing

Best to set appointment. Great job on my no chip pedicure and transforming my miserable 3 week old full set Lol. Not as relaxing because it seems to be packed and busy from the moment they open, which triggered my anxiety. But their busyness definitely speaks positively on the quality of the business! Will come back!

I came in with a design in mind and showed the man the pictur. He proceeded to wave it away then grab the wrong color and make them the wrong shape. I had to correct the shape 90 times before he actually got it right all because he didn't look at the picture. I wanted a light pink nude insted i got bright orange. Would not recommend at all.

No chip

No chip manicure . I went on a Wednesday a few days before my baby shower expecting bare minimum exceptional service instead I received this puffy overly polished no chip and very uneven nails. A previous customer left out complaining about the same guy stating he didn't shape her nails even & everyone looked at her like she was crazy... she wasn't. I expected less polish on my cuticles. I'm disappointed this was $40. I'm curious why? The tech didn't even have the decency to finish rubbing in the lotion he left on my arm but gave a full massage to the woman before me. I will never be back that's for sure.

Korin K.

I have been searching for years for a clean and consistent nail salon & tech. I can finally say, I am a loyal customer to Q Nail & Ammy. Everyone is very welcoming and up on the current nail trends. All customers were offered refreshments and snacks. This establishment is a smaller but clean and new nail salon. I can't wait to come back next month and have Ammy work her magic on another cool set.

Life isn't perfect but your nails can be. Need I say anymore?…read more It's located off 1st Avenue, on a main thoroughfare, in a strip mall with Dunkin Donuts. There's ample parking and staff to handle busy days without the classic sit at a station only to wait antics that happen at our nail establishments on occasion. I typically schedule an appointment, but I've noticed there are a number of walk ins too. In the last year, I moved to biobuilder and changed salons largely for this reason. The shape, level of care and relaxing environment are the cherries on top. Service is consistent and I'm always pleased with the end result and color options.

I came in today for what was supposed to be my regularly scheduled three-week nail appointment, and…read moreunfortunately, this will be my last visit. Last week, I received an appointment reminder for the wrong week. I called the salon and specifically explained that my appointment was supposed to be the following week. When I arrived today, there was no appointment scheduled for me. I calmly tried to understand what happened so that the scheduling issue wouldn't happen again, but instead of having a simple conversation about it, I was met with defensiveness and eventually had the nail technician raise his voice at me. I have been a good customer. I make my appointments, I call rather than simply not showing up, I pay for my services, I tip, and I communicate respectfully. I should be able to ask a question about my appointment or the price of my service without being treated as though I am causing a problem. There was also confusion regarding my price. I was initially quoted $70. I asked for a breakdown because based on the prices I had previously paid and the additional services explained to me, I calculated $65. After asking for clarification, the final amount was in fact $65, which I paid. What was most disappointing was the overall change in treatment. My hands were handled much more aggressively than usual, communication was dismissive, and after all of that, I left with gel that is visibly lumpy and uneven on my nails. I don't expect perfection from any business. Mistakes happen. What I do expect is professionalism, respectful communication, accountability when something goes wrong, and quality work for the service I'm paying for. Unfortunately, that was not my experience today. I paid for my service, said thank you, and left. I won't be returning.

I usually get stuck with this 1 guy that seems like he may still be learning the ins & outs, which is fine. However, I expect a certain quality of service & he isnt able to provide that. The last time that i went i did ask for another tech. Their work was better on my hands but she never offers or asks me what kind of pedicure i want ahe always just does a regular pedi, when i want something else. I never mention it b/c at that point i just feel like 1 its poor customer service & 2 you're missing out on $. I have noticed that there are only 2 male techs that know how to giev the shape that i am looking for and they usually have to come & fix the work of the others. I get dip powder on my natural nails w/ coffin shape and have been doing so for 5 yrs now. So being told that its not possible to give me this is incorrect, its more so the skill of the tech. My last set was from Valentines day and today 3/6 they still look really good. I don't have straight nail shots but did capture them in some selfies which is what i wanted to show. They are not all fresh seta but are 1-2 weeks old. The work i do requires me to use my hands & wash them frequently so this gives a pretty good idea of how well they hold up. While my set prior to this resulted in my top layer peeling within days for the most part ive had an okay experience. I am giving them 1 last try before i move on to a different spot.

While I was there, Henry began yelling at another nail tech loudly (in a non-English language) in front of customers, including myself. It was very unprofessional and made the environment extremely uncomfortable. Henry has also been aggressive while doing my nails in the past, causing me pain, which is why I now choose not to go with him and prefer to see any other tech instead. After this last encounter, I will not be returning to this salon. I would not recommend this place, and I'll be taking my business to another salon moving forward.
