I love this place so much!!! My friend introduced me and I've been coming back ever since. They're truly amazing; great service, really clean, very relaxing. You'll never come here and leave unhappy. I get manicure and pedicure all the time and the messages are also definitely worth the $10!! Go for it, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy! read more

So I'm sitting here getting a pedi as I type. The woman next to me hasn't shut up since I sat down. Just as an aside, why do women chat so much to their pedicurists? They (the pedicurists) don't give a shit about what Muffy wore to Blaine's party. The only thing these chatterboxes do is disturb everyone around them! STFU! This one got all excited when she found out her pedicurist is Korean and started raving about the delicious Korean food served at Erawan on Bell Blvd. Except Erawan is a THAI restaurant. We don't all looksame, you dumb bitch. Anyway, I adore Ruby Everyday Nail Salon. They're always so pleasant and really try to be accommodating without being sickeningly sycophantic. Their polish selection may seem a bit limited if you're into lots of different colors. I'm pretty conservative with my color choices so the relative lack of options doesn't bother me. Their basic pedicure is thorough and even includes a quick hot stone massage. My favorite place to get a little bit of pampering! Now if only the Chatty Pattys would stfu! 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

Can I say... the Danny Meyers of nail salons? A long overdue review. I appreciate the little details that owners of any establishment put into their place and take pride in it. I love the salon decor, it is very organized, clean and like reviewers mentioned zen like. From the homemade scrubs, to the heated stones that the workers use to massage you, the baskets that are used to hold your purse to the little voltives at the drying station to hold the drying polish. Overheard a conversation with another customer and Ruby herself, she said her workers say she's tough. Although she may be, the workers all seem very happy to work there and I believe this does maintain a certain standard that is nothing less than a perfect experience for customers. Although this place a little bit more pricy than other salons. I think its worth it, for all the extra attention and care given to their customers. The worst is walking into a nail salon where the workers are eating food...... read more

Nice and clean with spa like feel to the salon. Got a pedicure for $18 which included exfoliation, a short stone massage and paraffin for the heels. The owners are Chinese/Korean, but most of the nail techs are non-Asian. Not as experienced and fast as the Korean manicurists in the neighborhood. ***So I added another star to the salon because I have decided that this will be my go to salon. It's less than 5 blocks from my house and I found a nail tech that I really like. Honestly there is no other salon as nice and relaxing as Ruby's in the Bayside/Whitestone area. I have gotten different spa pedicures and all are heavenly. Got a gel manicure today and she even apply sunscreen to your hands to protect from UV light. You never feel like they are rushing through even when the place is busy. This place is worth the extra $! read more

First time at this salon made an appt the day before and was sitted right away on time and i must say i was pleased and loved it! Came all the way from jersey and i have nothing bad to say. Sara who did my gel fill was amazingg she listened to my needs and picked out my color and design and did not disappoint. Will def. be coming back! Also a plus you can order coffee from next door while getting your nails done they will take your order and bring it to you!! $55 for a fill and extra $20 for designs! read more

Ruby Nails salon - Another amazing gel manicure by lisa - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

Had gotten a gel mani by Nancy. One of the sweetest nail techs I've ever been to. She actually showed me the colors on her own nails before choosing a color because I was deciding between 3 colors! Thoroughly enjoy the fact that they use new emery boards and tools from a sealed package. Ambience is very nice as well, has a classy feel to it. But more importantly, she spent a good amount of time prepping my nails before the gel mani. $25 for gel mani (incl. taking off previous gel) Some places charge additional $5-$7! Only set back is that the gel wasn't applied where my cuticle starts...about 1 mm...attention to detail is key... read more

Nails done by Annie....very satisfied! clean nice atmosphere! Love my pedi and eyebrows as well! read more

Ruby Nails salon - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

They raised their prices. I don't know if it's because of the pandemic or because they bought the store next door in February and turned it into a coffee shop that they now have to cover the cost for.. probably a combination of both. I just paid $42 for a regular pedicure. Nothing special... no "spa pedicure"... nothing extra... just a pedicure. Seriously? There's a million nail salons in Whitestone that are just as clean. Save your money and go somewhere else read more

I wanted to give 5 stars for the technicians who are super sweet (and the place is clean) but when you spend $60 on a gel mani and regular pedi and your color chips the next day- that's not 5 star worthy. I gave this place a try 3 times thinking the next would be better and twice they chipped the next day. The 3rd time I came back, I was on a work call and the owner came up to me and asked me to hang up the phone in exactly those words. There were other conversations going on amongst the customers and staff. Not quite sure why my call bothered her but instead of saying so when I apologized she blamed it on the other customers and said they complained. The woman next to me shrug her shoulders and said "it wasn't bothering her and that I was talking pretty low". The owner gave me major attitude, didn't say thank you or anything when I paid. There was no confrontation what so ever. When she approached me, I quickly ended the call. Not very nice to treat customers this way. I don't care as much about this as I do about my nails chipping the next day. So for that reason alone, I won't be giving a thought about trying this place again. NOT SORRY! read more

This is the ONLY nail salon will go to. They keep it very clean, follow Covid safety protocols. Their work last longer compared to other nail salons I have been to. I HIGHLY recommend them read more

Clean, clean, clean! Spa like experience compared to neighborhood shops. Love the quiet and the calming background no vocal music but what is better than that is the fact that the technicians cannot speak to one another. I do not want to listen to people yacking while they are working on me. Thats rude! The higher price is well worth it for the experience. read more

Came here with a bunch of girlfriends for our mani and pedi a week ago. Had an appointment booked and all but once we entered they told us we had to wait. because they over booked themselves. And when it was our turned we didn't even get to do it at the same time.. it was more like when ever there is an open seat they directed one of us to go. When I finally got someone to do my pedi she did everything so fast .. All of the girls got a heel treatment and hot stone, and the lady I had totally skipped all those. When she brought me over to the mani side of the store. I see people getting there hands massage and everything she didn't do any of that .. not to mentioned she even over cut my cuticles where it started bleeding! Somehow one of my nail polish smudged and I asked for a retouch. So the boss asked another employee to help. Instead of being nice about it.. The guy named summer totally made a huge sigh with a gesture as if he was annoyed having to help retouch someone's nail. My cuticle still hurt from being over cut since yesterday. Doubt I would ever want to go back to this place. read more

After a very, VERY bad first experience with UV gel nails (at a different nail salon), I finally decided to give it another go and chose this place. I am so glad that I did. Lily did an amazing job, really listened to what I wanted done, and she was much faster than the lady at the other salon.I am absolutely loving my nails and I will be happy to be going back again. read more

Ruby Nails salon - Gel nails - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

My manicurist today was Annie. She is gentle and quick, and nails look good for now, I'll check again too see if there's any streaking or chipping. Overall, the salon does a good job getting guests get their nails done with as little wait as possible- unless you want a specific manicurist. The environment is calm and friendly, the decor is classic and they keep the salon clean. Second time here and liking it again! My friend must've likes this place too 'cause she suggested we come back here . read more

Excellent service and extremely sanitized. I highly recommend this salon! The owners are professional and friendly. The technicians are all meticulous. Salon is well maintained so definitely make an appointment! read more

Pedicure chipped the very same day, barely any scrubbing with the pedicure. The gel mani so far is ok. Like very other salon they have their presences on their regular costumers. Maybe if they were nicer to their new costumers they would come back. read more

HORRIBLE!!! I went in to just get tips and a pedi. When I went to pay, the lady charged me over $110 for basic pink tips. When I asked her why it was so expensive, they're gel tips and they just ASSUMED "I would want the best". They were very rude and talked as if they had done me a favor when no one ever asked me if I would like gel tips. There was no apology or sincerity given! PLEASR AVOID!! read more

Went for under arm wax only. It was good and only $10. Will try their mani and pedi next time. read more

Ruby Nails salon - Price list - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

SUPER clean. The staff clearly puts in a lot of effort into maintaining their salon which speaks volumes to their commitment to service. They pay attention to small offerings such as a nice scrub instead of regular hand soap prior to manicure or a mini hot stone massage while receiving a pedicure. While great service, cleanliness, and great decor/ambiance are important- I had to knock a star off for getting a knick while having my cuticles cut and I will admit that I have had better polishes. I am unsure whether it is the manicurist or the actual polish to blame but my manicure was a bit streaky. I generally get gel-manicures but opted for a regular mani/pedi to try this salon out. I will have to report back post gel-mani. Perhaps I'll have better luck with a gel-manicure. :) read more

I'm a local and I have a few friends who have told me about the salon. I decided to give them a try and I'm very glad that I did. Judy did an excellent job very thorough very kind and the staff was very welcoming and lovely. Will be going back definitely worth the money and reasonably priced read more

Ruby Nails salon - First time going there I'm very satisfied very lovely staff the workout was very thorough and very kind worth the money and worth the time. - Day Spas Near Me - New York, New York

Disappointed, when I come up to visit family, I get my nails done. Have been here before and really liked it. This time not so much. The prices were higher and the service not worth it. The specialty pedicure prices were way overpriced, starting at $55. A gel polish manicure was $30. So it would've been $100 out he door with tip. Nope...I'm glad I didn't spend the money and got the regular pedicure, the lady could care less about what she was doing, not personable, and cold. I felt ignored during the service. Got a chair massage and the lady was nice, so that was worth it. If they are going to charge what a spa charges for a specialty pedicure the service needs to be upgraded. I don't mind spending money on something if it's worth the price. read more

Went here the other day with my daughter for her first manicure & pedicure. Everyone we worked with was incredibly kind and considerate and made her first experience wonderful read more

So upset! It is now 8:30a, the day of my vaca and I'm at the airport waiting on a security line when I look down and gasp! My right thumb is chipped! If I had gotten a regular manicure days ago, I wouldn't be as upset but considering that I got a gel manicure at 730p last night, I cannot believe the luck. Ivy flew through my pedi (I was done in less than 15 mins) and I had to correct her quite a few times when she was sloppy with the gel mani (ie nail edges missed). It wasn't my first choice to go to Ruby's but I had received a gift card and used it purposedly for my vaca. Also before I presented the gift card, I was told the treatment cost $52. The quality I received was def not worth city prices and maybe cheap products were used because I do not understand how a gel mani can chip 13 hours later -_- read more

I've been going to Sara for my nails the last 3yrs and only her would recommend her to anyone! Cici is amazing with my pedicure!! Ruby is so nice and welcoming! read more

This is an amazing and peaceful place :) I go to get my nails done and massages on my days off. I live in Brooklyn and have gone to many expensive nail salons in Williamsburg and the city and my nails never look as good or stay beautiful as long as when I go to Ruby. The technicians are extremely detailed and make sure u leave happy ! I love getting massages from Gloria! She is amazing and all of the stress of the week melts away ! I love going to this little gem of an oasis and highly recommend ! read more

After moving to the area recently, I figured I would try a new nail place instead of having to drive to my old one. I made the appointment for 10am on a Saturday morning by calling the day before with ease. The morning of my appointment I had difficulty getting there on time so called and asked if it was okay that I come at 11 and they said it wasn't a problem. Unfortunately even after moving my appointment I was still running late and 5 minutes after 11 they actually called me to make sure I was coming, which I found to be kind of interesting. Walking in they greeted me and told me to pick my color and the chair was waiting for me. I didn't get a chance to look at the prices before sitting but figured they would be standard and in keeping with the area. I never usually pay more than $25 for manicure, pedicure and eye brows. Once they started my pedicure I got the feeling it would be more. She used hot stones on me, a leg scrub and a heel softener. It was a very in depth and lengthy pedicure but I did enjoy it. The chair was a great massage chair as well. My manicure was similar and took just as much time. Overall, the place is very clean (everything gets wrapped in plastic before use, even the sinks!). The service was very in depth but took a very long time. I was there for almost 2 hours. My manicure instantly had air bubbles in it and began chipping just a couple days later. Although I did enjoy all the extras, I think I will stick with my other go-to nail places which are half the price, half the time and with the polish lasting twice as long. read more

Beautiful decor and friendly owners. Staff does not seem as friendly or as happy. I'm not too crazy about the staff not washing their hands after doing SOMEONE ELSE'S pedicure and then servicing me. And the young male who serviced me was so rough on my feet, he pumiced so hard that I was left with an open wound that later scabbed up. read more

Just went there this past weekend after I received a flyer in the mail. I must admit that I had some misgivings, esp after the prior review, and I am a freak for sanitary practices (I am a physician, usually bring my own instruments, and I don't understand how nail/waxing places are not held to higher standards by the NYC dept of health, especially given possibility of contact with body fluids that can and does happen). The salon decor was very nice, clean, zen-like, on par with some of the mid-upper level boutique-like places that I've been in Manhattan and Park Slope/Brooklyn Heights which I usually/preferably go to. I know, new places tend to look cleaner, but this one didn't have all of the crap/clutter that's a dust/dirt magnet. I was most pleased by the hygienic practices I observed in the salon, not only for the mani/pedi, but for my waxing as well. [In my opinion, a place that advertises instrument sanitation and shows off their sterilizer unit, but has no problem re-using their orange sticks (fungus!) or wax applicators (did you just use that on someone's pubes/Brazilian before you did my lip wax?) has bad sanitary practices and can't be that clean, no matter what they claim]. This is the first place that I can say impressed me in the local area, and I've tried about 12. The only reason I'm rating them a 4 is that the pedicurist scraped more of my right foot's normal skin than my callus (ouch!) and some of my nails are already chipped/peeling. I spoke with the pedicure guy about that, and the latter problem can be solved with a better base/top coat combo. I used to go to an all-you can eat sushi place when I was a college student. I've outgrown that. I'd also rather pay a couple of extra bucks for a mani/pedi and not get another fungus infection (thank you, not-so-clean places in Whitestone Village!). You decide what it's worth to you. Just make sure you don't overcrowd it, so I can walk in without an appointment because I plan on becoming a regular! read more

This nail salon is right down the block from my house so I thought I would give it a try. I walked in with my boyfriend and they offered us the couples room. It was really nice two chairs in a small room very relaxing. Kevin did my mani pedi and did a fabulous job. He took his time and made sure everything was perfect. The salon itself is relaxing quiet and very very clean. The prices are a little bit more expensive compared to the millions of nail salons on Francis Lewis blvd. but it is worth the few extra dollars. I will definitely be returning. read more

Okay. So let me start off by saying this USE to be my favorite place. They are capable of good work, don't get me wrong.. however the experience i had yesterday was really bad. I got a spa pedi and gel mani. It all started okay, i asked the lady if she could cut the edges of my nails because I'm prone to ingrown toe nails. She cut so deep she made a huge chunk of my nail pop off. I screamed because she scared and hurt me. Im afraid now that I'm going to get an infection.. i let her proceed and she gave me an amateur pedicure. Next was my nails. Horrible. She cut my cuticles, made me bleed on not 1 but 3 fingers.. i was visibly upset no one did anything to fix what was happening. The owner just walked back and forth ignoring me. I then went up to the owner and told her that this was unacceptable and she told me " oh yea, next time ask for someone else"... why is that the solution?! You should be making sure you hire better and more qualified employees. I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on.. This owner needs a reality check. She's rude, has a horrible attitude and is obviously money hungry. Everything is an extra charge.. which I'm willing to pay for good service.. which i did not receive. Bye Ruby nails. read more

I was looking for a nail salon for nail extensions and I was very impressed! This was a great choice by far, and I will definitely go back. It was worth the 20 minutes drive into Whitestone (coming from Briarwood) and the nail art and styles definitely precedes them. I got the traditional French manicure Builder gel extensions and I love them read more

I've been here a few times now and I REALLY like this place. They super clean and that's important to me. The pedicure sink is wrapped in a new plastic cover before each sit down. The wax container is always clean and clear read more

Absolutely loved this place. Everyone is professional and the staff is extremely nice. The salon is clean and beautiful, plenty of colors to choose from and plenty of chairs. They took their time on my gel manicure and did a great job, the hot stone massage was an added bonus! Definitely will be returning! read more

After today I don't think I'll be going back. I've been here at least 8-10 times and today I just felt rushed. My nails came out so sloppy and uneven that I had to file them myself to get the shape I wanted (I wanted it round) when I got home. The person who cut my toe nails cut too short that when they were filing it, it hurt. I really wanted to like this place cause I liked their spa pedicures but not sure if I want to go back now. read more

I have tried to love other nail salons as much (because they're mildly cheaper) but they can't compare. Very relaxing atmosphere, VERY sweet and attentive staff. I'm surprised to see any bad reviews - I have never made an appointment and I've never had to wait but this is probably because I go on weekdays in the early afternoon. All the ladies do a great job- don't remember their names but I've never left this salon feeling like my nails weren't perfect. I recently got a powder gel mani and regular pedi with Nicole and she was so detail oriented, I was impressed. My go- to nail salon! read more

I have been coming here for a few years now. A gift certificate is my families go to present for me on all occasions (as Ruby is more expensive than other local salons). I had so many gift cards and never checked the dates, I just take one and go. They would not accept my gift card because it expired. I explaind that I have so many and didn't check but still no. I am sorry to say my family and friends will not be back to this establishment. The gift card was for a gel mani/pedi. That is a lot of $ in Ruby's pocket for nothing!!! read more

I got a gel mani and regular pedi today. Wendy attended to all my needs and helped me pick great colors. She was nice enough to suggest pretty colors and she's very quick and thorough. I've been to many salons before and this is probably the cleanest and well decorated place I've ever been to. I think all the manicurists are highly skilled and even if I didn't have Wendy I think I would have been super satisfied anyways. Everyone is super accommodating and the atmosphere is very calming. Definitely one of the best place in queens! read more
