Love this place, but love my girl Umida more. She's the best if not one of the best nail techs there. I go here do my Russian manicures and hard gels. They do such a great job, my nails feel fresh and clean every time. I've been coming to this nail studio since 2023. Umida did my wedding nails. A week before my wedding at Dominican Republic and they were still stunning. read more

Convenient (subway is literally right outside), great customer service, super clean nail studio, expert technician! This place is top tier. From the online booking to the communication ahead of my appointment to the service itself. Got Gel-X medium-long length. Gulya handled the service with care and expertise. She paid super close attention - making sure the install was done right. And I love that she checked in with me at each step to make sure I was happy with the progress. I had been looking for a true nail salon (after having my nails damaged elsewhere). So glad I found Royal Beauty Studio. I'll definitely be back. #tellafriendtotellafriend read more

Since my last review, yulia is no longer there so I tried a new manicurist, Def, who is exceptional. He is a perfectionist and makes sure each nail is done well...period. My nails are perfect for a month and it is completely worth it. read more

Visit Midlton Nails Studio in Rego Park. While it might lack the rose-petal aesthetic ideal for Instagram, you are paying for a premium Russian manicure service. This salon has a pleasant appearance, but my experiences with their services have fallen short--8 times out of 10. Despite its upscale look, the nail services do not meet upscale standards. They over filed my nails, hurt me 3x did not apologize after I said Ouch that hurts! With over 20 years of experience in getting my nails done, it's clear that many technicians here emphasize a medical approach rather than showcasing a diverse range of advanced techniques. When comparing to other salons in Forest Hills, I found that many of the technicians here primarily focus on BASIC Russian nail techniques with dramatic artistic drawing styles, which severely limits the services available. I've also encountered issues with the quality of work, resulting in the owner having to address concerns with complimentary services. However, the way these issues were handled felt less than gracious. The owner will propose she did you a favor by providing a discount which is hilarious. I won't be returning to this salon. A trend in recent Yelp reviews corroborates my experience, as customers are beginning to rate their visits with one or two stars due to the perceived lack of value in nail services. It's basic level with showstopping cover-ups. It's unfortunate that the owner prevented me from keeping my appointment, seemingly upset over my disagreement with a comment made by the tech. This decision doesn't harm me; it only damages your business. I'm prepared to file a complaint regarding this matter. Now for some pettiness: let's not forget Ms. Owner when I called you to discuss ANOTHER ISSUE I experienced at the salon. You basically bribed me to not write a bad review while crying your eyes out and complaining about your staff. Complaining about your staff to a customer is UNPROFESSIONAL AND NOT UPSCALE service. It's worth considering that perhaps the issue lies with how you manage and who you hire. It's become clear why the experienced technicians from Midlton chose to leave your establishment. Actual professional techs are seeking to provide quality service that your salon fails to provide. Midlton is where I will continue to direct my business. Let me be clear, I tend to go to Royal Beauty as a SECOND option not as my first option. read more

I have gotten two russian gel manicures from Madina thus far and I have loved both experiences. My first experience was actually my first time ever getting a russian manicure. Madina took extra care to prep my nails perfectly, both the cuticle and the shape of my nails. There were so many color options to choose from, it was honestly overwhelming. Now the most important part, how long it lasted. I got my nails done on October 8th and eventually cut and filed my nails down myself on October 31st because of the length and because the tip of my right pointer and thumb finger started to lift. I finally got my nail redone on November 18 because of how much it outgrown and the other fingers started to lift at the tip as well. That's 6 weeks and the nail polish never one lifted from my cuticles, which usually happens when I get it done at a regular salon. For reference, my gel manicure usually lasts 3-4 weeks when done at a regular salon. With my 2nd visit, Madina carefully removed my existing gel polish without damaging my nail, which I feel like usually happens at a regular salon and why my nail ends up becoming so fragile. She prepped my cuticle and nail with as much attention to detail like my first visit and helped me choose out polishes to match an example I saw on TikTok. It's been about 2 weeks now, and my nails are still holding up well. While it may be on the pricer side in comparison to any random salon you can go to on Austin street, the service and quality makes it so worth it. I highly recommend this salon. They have other services like pedicures, massages, botox, etc. While I can't attest to those service, I can at least attest to the service and cleanliness of the salon, which is all A+ in my opinion read more

I've been wanting to get my nails done here for a while. I've spent a lot of time admiring their Instagram but felt a little intimidated, like maybe this place is too fancy for me. I've had enough cheap manicures to know, you get what you pay for - often going for something quick and cheap and instantly regretting it. Last week I took the plunge and I am really happy I did. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly. I felt at ease there and the salon itself is clean and cool (this old lady needs a strong AC). My tech (Vika) was very sweet. She apologized for not speaking much English but that was fine by me! Booking with her was 20% off since she was new at the time. I was a little worried she might be inexperienced but that was not the case at all. Her skills are top notch. She paid good attention to detail. I didn't go crazy with any nail art, kept it simple (mostly because I am broke) but she made my nails look amazing. It was definitely worth dishing out a little more than I normally do. (This is not a knock at this place and their prices - it is very likely I am out of touch with how much an average manicure should be these days). I attempted to take a few pictures of my nails but I am far from a photographer. So pics don't really do the job justice. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to going there again. read more

First time getting a Russian Manicure and after reading the reviews for Royal Beauty Studio, I figured I'd try them out first. Walked in and was greeted by the receptionist who offered a variety of drinks including wine & champagne Anna was very sweet and explained the process to me as she did my manicure. I was nervous there would be some pain, but there wasn't any at all. Maybe a slight discomfort 1 or 2 times. My nails look sleek and the cuticles are clean. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely go back! read more

I have been here a few times and you can't go wrong with getting a mani from any of the talented ladies here but Shakhlo is THE best. She is a true artist - my mani is so clean and did not hurt at all. I showed her a picture and she did exactly that! I also feel that their price for a russian mani with nail art was very fair. read more

I was a loyal customer here for my lashes here as I felt they did a nice job. However, after getting suddenly sick & needing to reschedule my appointment, they were not at all accommodating & charged me a $50 cancellation fee. I explained how I suddenly got ill & would love to reschedule & pay my full fee so I don't spread my illness, & they asked for me to come in anyway or else I'll be charged. No willingness to accommodate whatsoever. As a company who boasts itself as a "spa," they definitely do not prioritize the wellness of their customers, nor do they care about the hygiene of their place insisting a sick customer show up. Never experienced such unprofessionalism & will not be returning. read more

Hard Gel Manicure w/design with Top nail tech Seva I absolutely love this salon. From decor to the atmosphere this place feels like luxury. The quality of work they put into your nails is top tier. This is the only place I go to for my russian manicures and smart pedis. The owner Diora is the sweetest most understandable person you'll meet. Her clients, their opinions, and concerns are very important to her. I would recommend this salon to everyone if I could. They also do tons of other service like lashes, lip fillers, laser, you name it! It's a one stop shop ladies. read more

Went here for gel manicure and "smart" pedicure which cost 220 total (this included gel extension to fix 2 nails but did not include tip). The actual experience itself was lovely but I think overpriced for what you get. The salon is clean, cute, techs are friendly, and you're offered a beverage. Unless you feel that you absolutely need a "smart" pedicure then I'd skip. The real cincher though --and I'm no expert-- is that the hard gel base/polish used on my toes caused my nails to crack even though I was assured it could be used for both fingernails and toenails. Given this and the price point, I won't be returning. read more

First time getting a Russian manicure. Anna was amazing. My nails have never looked so good. The salon is clean and well managed. I won't be going anywhere but here from now on. read more

Anna is absolutely amazing! She's hilarious and kind-hearted! Her work was done super quickly and effectively. Can't get enough of her!

Came in for a birthday nail appointment and saw Anna, one of their top techs. She was informative and gave great tips on nail care, which I appreciated. However, the process was painful--she pulled off cuticles aggressively causing bleeding and soreness for days. Now, just 2.5 weeks later, the gel has already lifted on two fingers. Disappointed, especially given the salon's strong reputation. read more

I can't say nice enough things about this salon. The owner is 100% committed to ensuring the satisfaction of all clients. That's a character not everybody has, and it's appreciated. Nastya, Madi, Anna, and Malika are excellent. I'm waiting for my nail pic to get posted to share. If you haven't already given this place a try, you should. It's worth the hype. read more

This nail salon is one of the best nail salons I have been to (and trust, I've been to many). I am the pickiest person ever and I'm always looking for perfection. Granted there is no such thing but this place is damn near to it ( on nails atleast) hahah. The customer service is exceptional, Everytime I have the slightest comment with pricing or any confusion about appointments/lateness Diora makes sure to accommodate me. I've done my nails with Madi, Malika, Seva, and Shakhlo. They are all super sweet and great at what they do. Let's not forget to mention everytime I take my daughter they give her a gift Your kindness and hard work ethic doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you for making my nail experience pleasant. #wortthecoins #worththehype read more

My nails look so beautiful. I had Svitlana as my mail tech and she did and amazing job. I like that she actually listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. My natural nails break easily so I get an extension but because of work I can't have them too long. Svitlana is the first nail tech to understand that and make it as short as I want them without telling me they'll look bad with the almond shape. I'm honestly so happy I have found this place and will continue to come back. read more

I have started coming here a few months ago and waited to give a review after coming a few times to makes sure it was really real. This is the best place I have ever been to and it is the only place I go to now. No one else does my nails, not even if they're fully booked and I have to wait. I will always wait to come back. My nails have never looked so strong and healthy, in my life. I can thank Medina for this, she truly goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy every time I come here. You have a customer for life from me ! read more

Gel manicure done by Anastasia. It was a very pleasant experience at this absolutely gorgeous salon. Everyone was very friendly and professional. It was a 2 hour process which was very meticulous. Totally worth it! Nails are supposed to last 4-5 weeks. I'm considering extensions on my next visit. Try this salon out, you will not regret it. I am so glad I found this place! read more

Very discriminating against people of color. They don't know what they are doing in this place at all. I wouldn't even recommend any of my friends to come here. I'm a male person who wanted to get a mani and pedi but I get the look of why is someone like me that is of color here in this establishment. Never again will I come here. The building is nice but don't mean the people are nice as well. Boycott this place. read more

This was a terrible experience. They didn't communicate with me at all about an issue with my pedicure, just took a picture of my feet and walked away for 10 minutes. Then the appointment was changed to a manicure, at my request. They didn't let me look at the colors, just asked what color I wanted, and since I was having a bad experience, I just said pink. The color is fine, just a basic pink, but it was done very carelessly you can see my nail underneath where the color didn't go fully on the nail. With 4 of my nails, they cut my skin, and I was bleeding, and now my fingers are still very sensitive and red all around. Then I asked for a design on two fingers, for 2 flowers, and it was the messiest, design I've ever seen. I asked for it to be taken off and the entire time she huffed and puffed and you could tell she didn't care. I've had many Russian manicures, and they've always been very precise, and this was the opposite of it. I would not recommend this salon. read more

Honestly I wish I had an amazing experience but sadly I didn't yes, the place looks really pretty and luxury and aesthetic but the service wasn't great for example when I book my appointment, I booked for a regular pedicure thinking I'm gonna get a nice pedicure, but I didn't plus I had keep asking the lady who charged to translate for me because the lady who did my pedicure didn't speak the language and couldn't understand me . in all honesty, they didn't know what the hell they were talking about and they wanted me to pay $70 for this but I didn't pay the $70. I only paid 55 but still It was a waste of money and plus they painted my toes if someone was in the second grade Really bad service please don't waste your money here. I will never come back to this place again and spend that much money for bad service Plus, they're not sanitary. They wipe my feet with paper... and honestly I didn't tip I'm not gonna tip someone for bad service!! They even cut the bottom my feet even blood came out !!! read more

My first issue is that when the day of my appointment had arrived they called an hour prior to my appointment and had to reschedule for a week later after booking two weeks in advanced. Then as I show up for my appointment thinking I will be receiving hard gel and once my appointment was over 30 minutes later, I then realized I received a basic gel manicure and in the end wanted to charge me for a hard gel manicure. Now only was I bleeding the whole time and in discomfort dealing with an attitude by Shakhlo. Who also pretending to not know English the whole time but understood and spoke in English. When it was time to pay we asked for someone who can help us because I didn't receive a hard gel manicure. Shakhlo then called what I believed to be the owner who was also very nasty and unprofessional screaming through the phone and when we were willing to pay anything to leave the owner kept screaming over the phone and wanted to be put on speaker to yell. Very unprofessional and disrespectful and kicked us out. read more
