I am 48 years old and I have never treated like Ruby Nail Salon owner Ruby treaded me. She called me liar Day before Easter I went there with my 10 years old and I paid $130 for Kids mani-pedi ($45) and $80 for UV gel manicure (it's not a regular gel manicure, it's more expensive then regular gel and will last at least 4 weeks they told me) I was walk-in no reservation. Two days later on Monday one of my nail was broken I went there, her husband Peter was there they repaired my nail and I left. 3 days later on Thursday an other nail was broken, again Peter was there they fixed. And 12 days later on April 28 my two other nails were broken and I called, spoke to Peter he made reservation for next day to fixed. On Friday April 29, only Ruby was there, I was planing to tell her that I did my nail here on day before Easter and this is the 4th nail is broken not even 2 weeks and I couldn't even use my manicure couple of days straight. I couldn't even speak to her. Her face suddenly change when she hear my nail is broken she said how she will know that I made my nails over there. Maybe I went to different store and going there to fixed. I was shocked. I said Ruby I have my bank app shows that I was here and paid $130 to Ruby nail on 16th. She said to me I don't care about your phone what is it says I will check here my reservation book. I said I was walk in with my daughter. She looked at my nails and said to me these nails so thin. We don't make thin nails, we do thick nails. It's not from here. I said I don't t want anything from you or your store you are not a good business person and I left. I don't know if anybody had same experience with her. First of all she is overpriced. What is $45 for kids mani-pedi? Also they charge for my nails $80 it didn't even last 3 days straight and in 12 days 4 nails were broken. read more

Update: I found a local place that was sooo appreciative for my business. They did an amazing job for half the price of Ruby's. Try a néw pl I've been coming here for over 3 years and other poor reviews are correct that there is zero loyalty or customer service for repeat customers. The prices have gone thru the roof and if you ask for any customization or a fix to something wrong, it's like your bothering them and it's your fault. This was my gel manicure after 3 coats of sheer that ruby herself globbed on with not a care that I wasn't happy. It speaks for itself. She said "if you want a more creamy color, next time choose a more creamy color". The place is spotless but the customer service is horrible - the words sorry or apology for inconvenience or we will make it right are not in Ruby's vocabulary. It's time to find a new place. Does this look like a $40 gel manicure? I'll come back if I can get some kind of acknowledgement of how bad t read more

Their color gel pedicure is 69$. You can get one for 37$ on Francis Lewis. Prices are ridiculous. What's more ridiculous is that people pay them. I made an appointment for a color gel pedicure and the receptionist the didn't even know the price. She quoted me $49. When I walked in, I sat down, picked out a color took off my socks. I was ready to begin the pedicure when she told me to reconfirm with the nail tech. When I asked the nail tech how much it would be for color gel pedicure, she said 69 because it is an additional $30 on top of the regular pedicure price. I said never mind and told her I will not be doing the pedicure today and I began putting on my shoes. The receptionist then came and asked what the issue was. I told her that $69 is too much and she's acted surprised by my response. She then asked if I wanted to come back for UV gel fill in. I said not thank you. I then went to Francis Lewis and was able to get a UV gel fill-in with a design and a color gel pedicure for $102. Pedicure was 37 and UV gel fill in 50+15 for design. read more

Ruby Nails salon - Manicure in OTHER salon. - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

I came here on 5/17/2021 and I will never come back again the nail tech Jenny was so rude yelling at me for not tipping her. Well if you do a rush job and not cut my all my cuticles and leave some hanging behind you are not getting a tip. There is no sign that says must tip nail tech. If i am paying $16 for a manicure and your rushing through it and not cutting all my cuticles I am not going to tip you. I did half the job for you by taking the time to take my old nail polish off for you which I do as a nice gesture.Also it is just unsanitary when the nail tech uses the same tools to cut her nails/file her nails and cut her cuticles with the same tools she just used on you for your manicure. read more

Ruby and peter are very unprofessional ruby is rude and doesn't care for what her customers needs are. They are money hungry. I was Steady customer for over three years I loved my nail technician Sara. I understand that Sarah moves on to bigger and better things. The way the owners handled informing me was unprofessional. Ruby could not guarantee her new nail technician was as qualified as Sara. If you're looking for an amazing new place try twinkle nails on Francis Lewis Boulevard. Better prices and amazing staff. read more

Great salon. I came here after the recent flood. After 11 hours of dreaming the water out of our basement I was left with some powdery substance on my feet and the rainwater had made my skin very itchy so I decided to go to the nail salon and just let them fix all the problems I was having. They did a great job a pedicure with a long lasting nail polish came out to $41 after tip. I recently just moved to the area and I have decided that this is going to be the new nail salon that I go to. The inside is beautiful I love the ambience and I really appreciated the fact that I can sit in the pedicure chair close my eyes and take a little nap and wake up feeling refreshed to a great pedicure. I had a great experience here if you're looking for a nail salon in the area this is definitely one that I would recommend read more

I come here every month so I feel like I know this place pretty well. The prices have gone up since the pandemic but I remember the services being on the pricey side even before the price jump. The good thing is that they have always been consistent. Always clean and proper, they don't cut any corners. The paint job is pretty good too. The only thing I will say is that they don't put any effort in the massage, like they might as well not even do it. read more

This is by far the best nail salon I've ever been to and best part is, it's a couple of blocks from my house! They have a wide selection of colors that you can choose from but I tend to lean towards french and nude colors. Sometimes when I get my nails done, theres a lady who gives out free shoulder massages for about 1 or 2 mins as a complementary service.. I've gotten gel many times and they always last me for more than 3 weeks. Carena is very detailed and precise when it comes to doing nails. She takes a bit longer than others but that's okay because I know it's going to last a long time. I work with my hands a lot so its amazing how it doesn't chip. Lynn does an amazing job too! read more

Ruby Nails salon - Love my nails! - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

This place is pretty pricey but, nail technician Summer made it worth it. She did such a great job with my acrylic gel tips and pedicure. I was very satisfied with my experience here although prices are steep for services. Idk if I would go back because of how expensive it is but, if I had the money... I'd go back $80 for my acrylic gel mani + 29 for pedi. If you wanna treat yourself, I'd recommend this place! My friend also enjoyed her services with Nancy. The techs all seem very meticulous with their work and the salon is very spa-like and high end. This place is very sanitary and has a nice relaxation feel to it the moment you walk in~ read more

Very pleased with our mani pedis. Kevin did my nails and he did an awesome job :) I bite my nails so they were a mess. He took his time cutting all the cuticles and making sure the polish went on smoothly. I love their interior and everything seems to be very clean. It is a bit pricey here ($27 for mani and pedi) but I think its worth it. read more

This is my go to nail salon. I starting coming here as I got an infection at my last salon and wanted a place that I was sure was clean. They serialize all their instruments and even put lining in the pedicure tub. I tend to just walk in and not make appointments because I don't have a preference in nail technicians. They have all done a great job. It's a little on the expensive side compared to other salons in the neighborhood but I think it's worth is for the cleanliness and service. My gel nails can last for 3-4 weeks. read more

If you're looking for good service then look no further! This place is ALL ABOUT EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE!!! My boyfriend ended up introducing me to this place after I complained that the salon's in my area weren't good. I was so surprised that he stumbled upon this little hidden gem! The owners (I assume both husband and wife) are so lovely and accommodating always very courteous and the employees are just a pleasant very professional and friendly. I noticed that the wife is always one step ahead making sure that all the nail technicians have all the supplies they need once they start working on a client (towels in place, hot stones ready at the side etc.) Also not to mention the technicians were very receptive to what I wanted, they are all very understanding and most importantly they are never pushy about services which I love, most places try to push you into getting a an extra message or to do a full spa pedicure but at Ruby's they are all very respectful of what the guest wants. read more

Ruby Nails salon - French Tips done by Mindy. - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

My girlfriend's and I were all due for a pedicure. We decided to come to rubys and they were very accommodating. They took all four of us at once. Great. I usually do my own manis as I'm quite the nail buff, but decided to do it here since I was doing a pedicure anyways. However, 4 days later and my nails are chipped. The Good: very clean, nice decor, plenty of workers, and decent color choices. The Bad: a bit pricy, $28 for mani/pedi. Came to $42 because I did French and added the callous remover. The girl who did my nails was very sweet and even complimented me on my nail art which I did myself. But, I had to remind her about the paraffin wax during my pedi and had to ask her to redo my French which was streaky and not even and missing in some spots. I'm sure she saw this and just decided not to say anything until I complained. The Ugly: Got nails done Sunday and today they are chipped. Overall, I would come back for a pedicure but will stick to doing my own nails which last two weeks without chipping. read more

Ruby Nails salon - Chipped :( - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

This place is extremely expensive, they are def very clean and have a spa vibe but the powder manicure didn't even last a week and was 49$!!! It started to crack and chip so I went back to fix it 5 days later and they buffed it and re dipped it. That lasted an extra 3 days and now it's all chipped. They are very expensive and the quality of the products don't seem to last at all. Spent 95$ for powder manicure, pedicure and 10 min massage and it didn't even last a week! read more

I came here for a powder manicure and pedicure, which took 2 hours. None the less, the powder cracked on multiple nails within a week. Not satisfied. read more

I have been here 3 or 4 times now, and I have been happy with the results every time. The gentleman in the front is friendly and helpful both on the phone and in person. The place is immaculate and I love the decor/ambience. I have gotten a different nail tech each time, and I feel that they have all done a good job. As many others mentioned, this place is very pricey. I can't afford to come on a regular basis but I come when I want to treat myself. read more

*IT'S POINTLESS TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT* It's 2:30 as I sit in the salon and write this review.... as I'm still waiting for my 1:45 pedicure appointment. This is the third and final time this will happen as this is the last time I come back to this salon because of this reason. The first time this happened, I made the first appt of the day as I wanted to get it out of the way. 10am appt. for a mani and pedi. Got there at 10:00 and their chairs were all full. I was told all the clients were part of a wedding party and got there early... I ended up waiting 20 minutes. Second time it happened I waiting 30 minutes and was told that people walked in and "had" to be taken before me. I was apprehensive to one back again today but my mom doesn't like the other area salon so here we are again and here I wait again. As far as service, I have to say it's one of the cleanest salons I've ever been to and the men and women who work there do a great job. The manager just needs to manage they schedule better. If I make an appointment for a specific time, I don't expect to wait for an additional 15-45 minutes PAST that time. read more

This is my second time coming here and I thought I had finally found my nail spot but I was wrong. The guy I had, Alan, was some what rude to me. He clipped my cuticles pretty hard and I didn't say anything at first but when he clipped my thumb, I flinched and he had the nerve to say "what?" To me. Not politely ask "what happened" but "what" with attitude. I don't appreciate that. You hurt me and then you have the nerve to give me attitude about it? Then when I left, I noticed bubbles in 4 of my nails, 1 weird looking mark under the polish, and it looks like something got caught under the polish or something and he just left it. I'm not happy with this experience. The only thing I appreciated was that he helped me put my sandals back on. I highly doubt I'll ever come back. read more

First time here. The staff is amazing. I went in with my friend and we were able to get the private room for our pedi. Loving this place. Very clean. read more

I got told by Ruby that my tip wasn't enough ($6 for mani and pedi- no design) and that the girls work hard etc.. For starters I would've given more if she didn't just tell me they preferred cash. (10% charge to you for card use.) 2)I don't appreciate being told what I'm "supposed" to be tipping. What also threw me off is that I consider myself a consistent common customer there and normally tip more if I have the cash or just put it all on card. 3) BE AWARE: I usually get the permanent gel tips. $70 but told "includes" the gel color. My friend that's also a usual customer here, decided to get the same. She didn't find a color in gel she liked so she chose to use regular color. When she asked Ruby is the cost of the gel polish now comes off the price, Ruby told her- No. ?! I usually justify paying as much for the good job done and take into consideration the gel color price buttt so there's no price adjustment even if you don't get it ? I enjoy coming here for the quality of their nail services and clean atmosphere but hiccups like these definitely keep me from coming back as often. Tina and Sara are my favs. read more

Prices and services are disproportionate! More expensive than any nail salon in the surrounding area, the service is poor!

I've been a loyal customer for many years now. At first it started out great and and was exceptionally clean and always provided a nice relaxing atmosphere. Now the prices keep going up consistently and the service has declined. The owner is a big fan of wite out and likes to keep changing the prices on her menu. I recently got a gel manicure and it chipped after ONE day. 2 days later, a nail just popped right off!! This is ridiculous. I will not be returning here. read more

How dare you have the nerve to charge $20 more for a spa pedicure that was $50 before the pandemic. The price is now $75!! How dare you!! Just because you rent the store next door doesn't mean your customers should pay for 2 rents. That's criminal. And greedy. read more

The 2 stars are for cleanliness. I've been coming here for years and have been fairly happy with their services;however, the last few times have been horrible. The owners are downright rude to their customers. Also, they charge a "fee" to use a credit card which I'm pretty sure is illegal in NY. The last time I went I noticed this "fee" when signing my receipt. When I questioned it the owner became defensive and told me that he's allowed to. Apparently he charges his customers whatever the CC company charges him. I've been paying with a CC here for years and not once did they mention it! I always assumed I was paying tax! Steer clear of this place. Plenty of other clean nail places in the area, cheaper too! read more
