I've been going to Queen A for about two years now and they consistently provide great service for both hands and feet! The attention to detail and precision is always great. I love all of the staff and everyone is super friendly. You definitely need to make an appointment if you're going during peak hours after the work day or on the weekend. read more

Do yourself a favor and just avoid this place. There's no integrity of appointments. I've been here three times now expecting a different result, shame on me right? The owners consistently overbook. I've been sitting here for an hour now, while other customers are getting their nails done. If there is an issue with time management do yourself and your customers a favor and minimize the advanced bookings to create a better customer experience. Three different employees approached me with the same questions while I wait, "you have gel", "choose your color", then the last one proceeds to hand me a nails to choose, yep you guessed it, a color. All of this in an effort to buy time for an appointment they had no business accepting giving the volume. Let's talk about the work they do, it's basic at best. The manicurist are slow, frequently cutting you with the nail file, and blantantly ignoring your request to skip cutting of the cuticles. I'm not returning and I would encourage others to choose a different establishment for your nails needs, this is not the one. read more

Queen A Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

This place is a no frills but gets the job done right every time type of place. Also, iykyk - a lot of nail salons are really bad at doing pedicures because they just don't care to do a good job on it but this place does the best pedicures in Astoria for sure! read more

I have debated if I would leave this review and I have already communicated all of this to the owners and they simply treated me like they did not care. I understand in the great scheme of things one customer not ever coming back does not mean anything to them which is why I want others to know about the way I was treated. 1. Tina was awful to me. I had to tell her over and over how short I wanted my nails. It was not until I was in frustrated and in tears that was she willing to listen to me. I was made to feel as if my opinion about my own nails did not matter. I should not be so frustrated over my nail length that I am in tears. 2. I very specifically asked to be scheduled with the person who did the nails in the picture that they posted on their IG. When I messaged them, I was advised that that is who my appointment would be with, it was only after she was almost done with my nails as she was doing my design that another nail tech said it was Leo who did those nails in the picture and not Tina. If Leo had not passed me off to begin with I would not have been treated so poorly. This nail set was specific for my Dad's funeral so the colors meant something special and Tina even questioned me over my choice of the red shade I chose and tried multiple times to get me to choose a different red that she said was "prettier" I spent over 2 hours and $97 to leave knowing a nail salon made me cry and not listen to what I wanted on my hands. This was not the first time I have felt as if they were treating me poorly but it will be the last. I have been coming to Queen A for about 2 years. It is the only nail salon I have been to since moving to Astoria. I sadly now feel the need to go elsewhere. read more

Terrible place. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! If a nail tech can not shape your nails, which is the basic for a nail tech then they can't do nails. If I could give no stars I would. I work nearby so I thought I give it a try. I asked for a short almond shape nails and they butchered my nails. After I told her that this isn't what I asked for, she then went on saying I can put tips. No thank you, I wanted my natural nails to be short with almond shape, but instead it's all different shapes and size. Also they definitely don't know how to do SNS nails at all. This place is trash. Never again, if you can't do basics then you shouldn't have a shop. read more

Queen A Nail Spa - Asked for short almond shape...idk what this is, all different shapes - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

The service at queen a nail spa was great, however most of my nails chipped within 1 week. I was upgraded to a fancy pedicure but the actual pedicure did not even last 1 week. I will unfortunately not be going back anytime soon. read more

As soon as I walked in they seemed like they were mad I was there. I got my nails done on Monday and less than 24 hours later two of my nails were chipped. I went back in on Wednesday and told them what happened and they fixed it for free but did not seem happy. Oddly enough there was also another woman there that was getting her nails fixed because they chipped two days after getting them done. Now on Saturday two more of my nails are chipped (one being the one they just fixed on Wednesday) and many other nails are already lifting. Keep in mind I work in an office environment so I don't do any heavy lifting, only type on a computer all day. I like to give salons the benefit of the doubt but I won't be going back here. The woman doing my nails did one at a time, meaning she painted one nail and told me to put my hand in the UV light and she kept going back and forth one by one. I've never seen this technique so I tried to be nice about it but obviously it doesn't work. They do offer a stamp card so you can eventually get free services after spending so much money, but I will not be going back. read more

I made a last minute appt for 3:30 today for my birthday nails and pedicure after a friend showed me her beautiful nails.

I usually have a better service but I went two days ago,with appointment, and they reacted like they didn't want to take the appointment. A lady called Cici started doing my nails and it was clear that she was bored. I told her "not to shorten my nails length" she said "yes yes" and did It anyway. I did gel manicure. They made me move my seat and made me stay in a position which it was really uncomfortable. Doing your nails means you gather the money to have a small luxury for you, you want to enjoy your time , I don't mean to treat me like princess but with some respect. I wouldn't post a review but two days after, my nails chip ... so I just lost 33 dollars. read more

My friend and I tried this place for the first time and we LOVED it, make sure you make an appointment before you go, and get your nails done by Mariana! Who was so gentle and kind. The French set was a lil pricey ($63) but overall worth it for the effort and attention to detail. The green nails were gel powder and ($43) ps: complementary back massage while your nails dry (: read more

I barely ever leave reviews but I had to. This salon has such great and lovely designs and nail art in its Yelp photo section and it's why I chose them over anyone else in queens. Scheduling was easy and they were able to take me early. They were very kind and helpful. But at the appointment: - the nude ombré I asked for was way too pink and white. I mentioned this and the lady got frustrated with me. - the man kindly helped and finished it. - I wanted a design and I showed a photo FROM THEIR OWN YELP PAGE. The same woman who did the design in the photo- was doing the design on my nails. It looks so bad and sloppy. And when I asked to fix it she said "No". That's all. I spent $80 on this and they're bumpy and uneven. I'm really sorry to leave such a bad review because they seem like a great salon, but my experience sucked. Attached: 2 photos I referenced FROM their Yelp page vs. my design..... read more

I went in there wanting acrylic but they said that would take too long and didn't have time to do it so they convinced me to do dip powder, which I don't like in the first place. I showed them a picture of what I wanted which was a different shade of blue with some design which they said they were able to do. As they were doing the design it felt like they learning how to do it for the first time. I asked for a coffin shape but she kept making the tips very wide and I kept trying to guide her to shave down the sides but they were just so wide at the ends. I ended up telling them to just get rid of the design cause it was so bad and do a solid color. They also didn't not shave down the dip enough so they're very thick and chunky. Very upset with how my nails came out I paid $53 to get nothing that I asked for. read more

Been coming to this nail spa ever since I moved to NYC thanks to friends' suggestion. Place is clean and staff are very nice. They have a wide choices of nail services and nail colors, both powder and UV gel. They have spa pedicures that are relaxing and worth the buck. Leo is very accommodating with appointments and will straight up tell you if they can't take you if the salon is too busy. read more

I LOVED my experience here. I just moved to the neighborhood and I'm used to $50-60 for designed gel manicures. Queen A was priced super reasonably where for $68 I got a gel manicure WITH DESIGN and a regular pedicure. I worked with Suki and she was so kind! I highly recommend you get your nails done here. Btw they only take appointments by calling! read more

I should have learned my lesson and not come back here ever again. I wanted some simple nail art, I showed them the photo before we started and they said they could do it. The time comes to do the art and the woman doing my nails couldn't figure it out, she calls over another woman and still they could get it. Eventually the owner comes over and he can't do it either. I just said ok fine just do the French tips, she couldn't even do that right. My nails were horrible, they left polish and glue on my skin and under my nails. The French tips were horrendous. They post some decent nail art on IG but it all must be done by one person, definitely not the woman who did my nails. That same night I removed the polish over the dip powder and redid it with gel polish, waste of money. Check out the inspo pic I showed them and what I walked out of there with... you've been warned. read more

Really disappointed that this is the only salon in the area. I've had issues several times now where I have an appointment where I wait 20-40 minutes to be seated. The one time I waited 40 minutes after my appointment time and they told me it would be another 10-15 minutes so I walked out. There's clearly no point in making an appointment as they don't honor them. I've also seen this happen many times to others. I'm also annoyed as I got a gel manicure one week ago and it chipped. I've never had a gel chip before. Not to mention there's significant growth between the nail bed and the gel already as my cuticles weren't pushed back so it looks like it's a two+ week of gel manicure now. Going to start looking elsewhere read more

Queen A Nail Spa - Soft gel - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

Summary: My friend and I visited on Saturday at 1:00 pm. We made an appointment for dip powder and it was a wonderful experience! Although the place was extremely busy, they immediately accepted us and started on our nails. As long as you make an appointment, the wait will not be a problem. They did not rush, and took their time on each individual nail. The prices are very fair, and the staff were extremely friendly. They had so many color options as well, and were patient with me as I spent time choosing the right shade. I would absolutely come back if I am in the area again! Prices: Not including service tips and tax - I paid $43 for dip powder and my friend paid $53 for dip powder with glued tips. Extra: They also offer additional services complementary, including hand massage, warm hand towels, and a quick shoulder massage. Gloria did my nails (the dark green)! My friend didn't get a chance to get the name of her technician, but she loved her as well. Loyalty: They offer a loyalty program, where you get 1 point for every dollar spent. I didn't get a chance to look at the full menu clearly, but I noticed you can get a full dip powder set once you have about 250 or so points - a really good deal! read more

Visiting from Florida, hospitality is okay but everything was horribly done from my toes to my nails. I asked for a tip on just my two big toes, a man put acrylic and super thick that it hurts when I wear sneakers. Spanish lady that did my nails cut me and she don't know how to do French, no definition lines not straight and you can see me previous lifting through the new nails, just UGLY! And than charged me $65 for JUST A FILL and $45 FOR JUST A POLISH CHANGE ON MY TOES. And had to nerve to tell me a needed to leave a tip. $120+ on ugly ass toes and nails. Y'all need to be out of business seriously. I'd never recommmend. If I could I'd leave a -5 star read more

This has been my go to spot for powder gel manicures! They have a huge selection of colors to choose from for powder and regular gel colors. Amanda & Leo are the best technicians. I usually get a marble design on one nail & comes to show that not all technicians can do this design. My powder gel manicure usually lasts for 3-4 weeks long without any chipping or nail breaking. They are very accommodating with knowing what to do when your nail breaks/chips. They are familiar with nail shape terminology & know how to shape them well! Time frame for manicures are around 45-60 minutes depending on who does your nails and if you get any design. If i do get a pedicure & manicure, the time frame is close to two hours (paid parking purposes). It's more convenient to book an appointment in advance. Same day bookings are usually available. Walk-ins are usually around a 15-20min wait. read more

I went to this nail salon and showed them a picture of the nails i liked, which was already done at this nail salon. I made the appointment over the phone and asked for leo, he estimated it to be around 50 or 60 if i added a design. when i got there leo said i would be taken care of by another person, which was fine. I showed her my reference and told her i didnt want them too long or pointed. Due to the language barrier and repeating myself a couple times, i let her do her thing. Im not going to lie, they turned out very nice and appreciate how dedicated she was. However, i was not happy with the length or shape. After i received the total i was a bit upset, as i had already spoke to someone over the phone and roughly estimated it to be around 70 or 80. I was charged 98!! obviously without tip. But i know this was not worth that much and friends who constantly do crazy nail art agreed. read more

This is an absolute pleasure to give Queen A five stars!!!!! I have been a life-long mail biter and decided to dedicate some time and money to nail care this year. I go every three or so weeks and have had acrylics, powder gel (with and without tips), gel art, and any combo of those things done with absolutely perfect results every time. Extremely clean, always professional, any beautiful nail art you want done or a regular color perfect every time. I've gone to many places in this area of queens and this is the best place no matter which technician you see -- though they accept walk-ins, make an appointment to be seen on time because they are busy (for good reason). I cant wait to keep going back, thank you Queen A Nail! read more

Quality has gone way down. I have been coming to Queen A for 5 years, but there are new workers at the salon in 2023. Sonia did such a poor rush job, there is still gel polish on my skin! No cleanup, and did not listen at all when I was expressing my thoughts about the shaping not being straight. Her application was way off, after two coats the color was still very sheer, for the 3rd coat she put a whole glob of gel without cleaning up the nail. Very poor experience this last visit and I will not be going back. read more

I've come here a handful of times by now, I was never too pleased or too upset with the service I got. I really tried to like this place because my friend is a fan but all I've gotten were gel manicure and pedicures that never lasted it's money worth. I've gotten cheaper manicures that lasted me wayyyyy longer than these guys. But this last time I went...it permanently horrified me and they successfully lost me as a customer. I was getting SNS and the lady (I don't know if she was new or what) but she made me nails look so fat because she didn't shape it after putting on the powder. Before she put on the powder, when she was filing my nail, she filed A DAM DENT into my finger!!!!!! LIKE WTF!!!! You can see in the picture I attached. The picture doesn't even truly capture the dent. But anyway, it freaking hurt and she kept doing it to my other fingers. Thankfully it was not as bad as this one. But now I have a dent in my finger, thanks to Queen A Nail. Love it! read more

I've been coming here for couple months and Amanda did an incredible job. When I called for an appointment, they told me that she doesn't work there any longer, so I made and appointment with Lio instead. When I arrived, he told me that he doesn't have me in the book and if I was ok with someone else doing it. I said yes, since I didn't have time to wait for more then an hour. After 2 hours of seating there my nails were done. I didn't pay too much attention since I was in a rush, I have payed $135 and left. As soon as I left I realized that I had dots on my nails, so I went back. Lio refused to give me the refund(I didn't even ask for the full amount) and he said how they don't give cash refunds. I was expecting at least a gift certificate for my next visit or at least "I'm sorry" .I don't ever post negative reviews but his attitude just left me speechless and I won't be going back ever again. read more

I must start by saying that I understand that businesses have incur new expenses since Covid for sanitizing and keeping the businesses safe. My experience was not a good one for the following reasons. I asked to see if they had time for a simple Mani and Pedí. The gentleman at the entrance hesitated and said Mani only. Which I was fine with me, even though I asked for 2 services. I did bring my own polish and quick dry. There was nothing fancy about the Mani. It was done in minimal time. I was expecting to pay $11 or $12 for the Mani because of Covid, but it was actually $13 which I thought it was a little steep but what could I do at that point. But what I found distasteful that they actually made cards on each station stating pretty much that they expected a 15% to 20% tip. I don't believe it was necessary. People tip can they think the job is worth. Myself being in the service industry, I understand that tipping is a big part of my income. But I would not put a sign telling customers what they are expected to tip. I did tip her 20% that is with or without a sign. read more

Leo was available when I called the same day. I came in to remove my powder gel and get a manicure. I spent about an hour at the salon which was a bit longer than expected, but it didn't bother me much. The lady who took my powder gel off did a nice, clean job, sorry I don't know her name. Leo did an amazing job with the manicure. My nails were already shaped, so Leo just did a clean up, but his skills at painting the nails were remarkable. Since it's Halloween week, I chose OPI 'Lincoln Park after Dark', and I could not be any happier with this $10 manicure by Leo. Thank you! read more
