This review is strictly for Cece because that is the only person that has touched my nails and will touch my nails. I decided to switch nail salons a few months ago as I was displeased that their quality went down. The first time I came here, Cece did my nails and I made sure to keep coming back to her. She is quick, efficient, and very detailed oriented. She also has done a great job in every design I've asked for so far. There was only one time I had an issue with my nails breaking but I believe I was definitely due for a new set. read more

I used to go to this salon in 2020-2021, and I always left satisfied. I came back to the neighborhood and decided to revisit. I love how my nails came out. read more

I've been to Sandy's three times. One time I had the owner Sandy do my French nails, she did them quick and perfect. Loved everything about it which is what made me go back and try to give them a third chance. But the other two times, the first being my first time there and the last was just last Friday. I got Amy. She is nice but she does not do a good job at all. I got my nails done last Friday not even a full week ago and they already need to be redone again. The work is sloppy, the polish was not down to the bottom of the nail and she doesn't take her time to do her work. She rushes everytime even if there is no one waiting for her. If everyone did nails like Sandy, they would've got 4 stars but because of this one worker, they won't unfortunately. read more

I had a fantastic experience here! The salon is incredibly clean, and the staff is so welcoming. They really took their time to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend for a relaxing and high-quality manicure! read more

When they are on they are on. Beautiful designs, they are rather timely. However there is a tinge of bias and dismissiveness. It's the frustration of it that will make you look for another nail tech. I have only had the owner do my nails she is good but not detailed oriented. When you point out and error or something to be fixed there is always an excuse or sometimes an attitude. The slight bias is she often will choose a person of non color to bump your appt then blame you. In addition will create an entire scene in front of shop. Never had this issue before. So not sure what it is. read more

Loved my nails and the service. Everyone was so nice, and friendly! Would def recommend 10/10

Absolutely love these girls!!! I have been going here what seems like forever now. I honestly am extremely picky with my nails, I personally usually always see Jenny, she absolutely kills it every time and she is always careful and precise. Sandy the owner is the best! My mom goes to her! Depending on the style/ design of nail that you are looking for is who u go to in my opinion! Sandy, Jenny, Elena and Cece are all great! I've been to all four of these ladies for acrylics and that's why I recommend them! After COVID they follow all the guidelines! I have posted some photos of my different nail looks I have gotten here at Sandy Nails to show you guys there amazing work! Highly Recommend! read more

Absolutely amazing experience with Sandy! My girlfriend does her nail every other week and after our first experience here I'll definitely recommend to all of my friends! My girlfriend is now a regular! read more

They took a lot of precautions when I came here for covid, and they came recommended by a friend but I find that every single time I came I ended up with nails I absolutely hated. Yet conveniently located, I went here a few times and every single time wasn't happy. My friend did recommend that she will only get designs by one specific person there, I just don't want to even go back again. read more

Everyone in this place are hard-workers. They're very clean and efficient. When i came in I was scared because I haven't gone to nail salon in about 5 months because some places don't do my nails well. BUT THIS! I will be recommending and coming back. HELEN IS AMAZING. She was so careful and made sure to check that the drill wasn't hurting me because i'm a very twitchy and easily hurt person. She made sure to pay attention to details and if she didn't like something she would start over. I loved seeing her work. What i asked for { 1st photo } What i got! { 2nd nd 3rd } read more

This review is LOOONGGGG OVERDUE! CECE IS MY EVERYTHING!!!! I was went with a friend to another place a block away but it was mortifying. Nonetheless, I stumbled across Sandy's Nails & we've never parted ways! Cece is everything a lady could want in a nail tech! It's been almost 3yrs & I refuse to let anyone else touch my nails. ANY DESIGN, Y'ALL HEAR ME....A N Y design Cece is going to crush it! Shaping DesignProfessionalism Cleanliness I swear Cece is my nail goddess! I that woman! And everyone I have referred to her leaves feeling the same way! The owner Sandy is amazing too! Always accommodates me & my random work schedule mixups. Sandy is sweet & really supportive of the girls! Makes it even easier to love this place!!! read more

Sns gel manicure not even one week old...Why charge so much if you are using fake product. I've use SNS before and this is the first time this has happened. I can only conclude that this is not original product. I do not have the time to go back and get a refund or get nails fix due to my busy schedule. This is just not fair... I wanted to warn others to beware!! I give one star to the Spanish lady that did my pedicure, she did a great job! However, I would not recommend this place base on the poor quality of my nails. Waste of money and time... read more

Sandy Nail and Spa - Sns gel manicure not even one week old... - Nail Technicians Near Me - Franklin Square, New York

HORRIBLE service from AMY! She did not know how to do the design I wanted and when I asked her to redo the horrible acrylic set she did which were crooked, all had different lengths, nail polish on my cuticle, she talked badly about me in front of my face because she thought I did not understand her. She treated me horribly after I confronted her, she YANKED my hand and continued to talk badly. The manger got involved and had to redo everything. NEVER go here and NEVER GO TO AMY! Amy doesn't know how to do simple french tips read more

First time here after a referral. So the staff has the worst manners, I came for a SNS manicure AND PEDICURE they didn't clean my cuticles, and didn't clean the access nail polish on my finger. I had to pick two colors before they actually had one that was enough to do my nails. When it came to my pedicure the lady damn near took my toes with the cuticles... Not going back read more

Been coming for 15 years + and never had issues . Sandy is always accommodating for her clients and her workers work very hard . Clean. If you want crazy designs I wouldn't suggest to try, but traditional and somewhat stylish they definitely nail it ! And the pedicure lasts like 1 mo not a problem and nails 3 weeks max so I'd recommend if you work and barely have time for nails .. these are definitely reliable and durable xoxo read more

Please make sure to bring your own nail supplies because they do not use an autoclave to disinfect the proper utensils which can cause infections/ fungus/ MRSA! read more

Decided to try this salon out because they had cheaper prices than the current place I go to (you get what you pay for) never will I return here, as I was getting my pedicure and looked at the case where the nail tech was taking her tools out of I felt sick to my stomach, the tools and case look dirty and I debated stopping her and leaving because I felt it was not hygienic. I sucked it up and gave them a chance, I did SNS powder gel, the design I wanted they did a great job with and I loved. However in less than 2 weeks the powder started chipping and breaking off, the nails did not last. The quality was not there and the cleanliness or lack there of really grossed me out. Although their prices were cheaper I would have to spend more money because they don't last at all and I had to get my nails fixed again before it was even 2 weeks. I will gladly pay a little more at my previous place because when they do my nails, they last about 5 weeks without chipping and much cleaner read more

All i have to say cheap prices and owner does good work and fast but not the workers an they all cut you with the drill an dont say theyre sorry. If you want to go to a place with no customer service, no friendly people no one talks to you or they look at you funny if you talk to them, everyone looks miserable an the vibe is negitive especially the owner this is the place for you! read more

I've always had a great experience at this nail salon. I stopped going for a few years bc I moved plus my job moved so it was hard to go and out my way. Never again. I never found a place as trendy as this one and I had to be back. Sandy is simply the best and so quick with it all. She's super talented! Steven is great with organizing and setting up the appointments. Never had a problem. So glad to be back! I've posted pictures of my nails that I've gotten down recently. They are awesome! read more

This nail salon has the sweetest and skilled staff. I got my nails done by Jenny. She did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB. I got acrylic tips with gel polish and designs with rhinestones and glitter. She shaped the nails so perfectly and sealed in the designs seamlessly. She let me take my time in choosing the colors and was very patient. There was no rushing. Afterwards she did my pedicure, also flawlessly. Everyone is super accommodating and sweet. I had even come a few minutes late to my appointment and Jenny was there waiting for me. It was nice to see that they actually honor appointments. I am so satisfied with my experience here and will be coming back often. read more

Honestly the absolute worst nail experience I've ever had. I will never be going back or recommending anyone here. I called earlier in the day to ask for pricing and told the woman on the phone that I wanted to get dip powder with a French tip, but that I would need to get actual tips since my nails were super short right now. She said no problem dip is 35 an extra 5 for French and an additional 5 for the tips. I said sure no problem 45 for all that is a pretty good price. Later, I get there and show my manicurist what I want. It's a picture of an almond shaped French tip (I'll add it). She says ok and tries to talk me into doing some thing called "pink powder" since SNS is bad for your nails and has to be soaked off every time. I said no I want dip powder. She shows me a gel and I say again no thanks I want the powder. Finally she applies the powder with a brush and I got confused since I know I said I wanted dip. I ask her and she says no this isn't SNS it's "pink powder" no idea what that means. I say no j want regular SNS she says it's bad and I say it's fine it's what I like. Suddenly she gets upset (she really only did one nail and it wasn't even fully done yet). She starts getting rough with my hands and fingers and continues on with SNS (btw she grabbed the SAME container of powder). She spends the rest of the time being super aggressive with all the materials she's using. I ask her if we can cut the tips a little shorter but she barely cuts much off and then continues to act like I'm inconveniencing her. She continues on, paints on the french, puts my hands in the UV lamp and then oils my cuticles and sends me on my way. I end up paying $50. Still not sure where that extra 5 came from but ok. I get in my car already upset because they were pretty ugly. I show my friend and she literally gasps and says they're hideous. She wasn't wrong. A bunch of parts were missing paint. The lines were bad. They were lumpy. I call and tell them I'm coming back later and ask if they can fix them since I couldn't stay cause I had work and I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. She says sure come back later. I come back and she's giving me straight attitude. I ask her to cut them down just a little and she takes the file drill and files them down like that. Now they're obviously coffin shaped. She shows me and asks me if they're good now. I say are you going to file the sides round now to make them almond ? And she goes 'that's what I'm asking you' I said well yeah I want them almond and she says 'they don't look good almond this length' which btw could've been avoided if she didn't put up an attitude and drill them down. I say it's fine please make them almond. Ultimately I end up telling her to not even make them French tips anymore just leave them bare and let me go. She paints a light pink color on them and sends me on my way. A $5 refund for not having French tip anymore would've been appreciated or an apology or at the very least a lack of attitude for the immense inconvenience and terrible job she did. I will now be going on vacation with nails I did not want that I actually shouldn't be paying more than $35 for. Do yourself a favor and pay a little extra money at much better and nicer place. So here's what I asked for, what I got, and what I ended up with. read more

Sandy and her staff are wonderful. I drive 45 minutes to go to this salon. They are all fantastic I highly recommend this salon

Terrible customer service lied and said that she closes at 6:30 and it clearly says 7:30 on google. I'm literally standing in the doorway and one of the girls literally tried to shoo me away. They're disgusting incredibly disgusting and I'm going to write a review every and anywhere so that I can let people know that they are Terrible! Absolutely amazing how they locked the door to tell me that they're closed when they're clearly open. It's amazes me how racist people are. I bet she didn't know that I would be the type to write a review about them! Do not go here they are TERRIBLE! read more

Awful experience. Showed a picture of what I wanted and got nothing close to what I showed her. The nail tech cut a chunk of my skin off, you can see the streaks of paint on my nails. I asked for my money back after and the owner said no. I will not be returning here. Atrocious work and not for nothing they were not socially distanced. read more

I just got the worst fill in of my life. All my nails are a different shape, lumpy, uneven and there is gel nail polish on my skin I cannot get off. Such a waste of money only one girl can do nails there but she is always busy. This place is filthy and you always have to wait forever even with an appointment. No parking as well, and it's really hot and gross in there. I will never come back read more

This is one of the best salons I have ever been in. A big plus+ because it is 11 minute drive. Sandy is the owner, she makes sure all her customers are happy ! read more

I used to go there, then I stopped because of the attitudes the girls had that worked there. I had to ask for cream for my hands during a manicure and she sighed. The people at the time that worked there were messy and acted like they were doing you a favor. A few years later I went back and I made an appointment. As I was waiting and 20 min went by someone walked in and said "manicure" they said sure pick color. I just left. I made an appointment and they took someone ahead of me. They have big attitudes there. I can understand you get busy and that is why I made an appointment. To take someone ahead of me, well i just walked out and went to Donna nails east on Hemp Tpke. Was welcomed and they did a much better job. So go to Donna's nails. read more

While I have made the mistake of visiting this salon many times. I will never visit again. The workers (for the most part) are very nice, but something always goes wrong. I have made appointments and still found myself waiting for an hour. The salon is completely unsanitary. I never once recall them using any sanitized tools. The buffers look like they are from the 80's. The gels do not last more than a week. I decided to try the SNS which is supposed to last 2-3 weeks. One day after I got it, it chipped. Now not even 5 days later it is already lifting. Save your money and go somewhere else. This place is not sanitary and not worth your time or money! TRUST ME! read more

N: "Came for a pedicure and the woman cut my entire toe nail off after SPECIFICALLY telling her I wanted square shaped. I've been growing out my toenails for months and I was so excited to go in and have them shaped and all those months of growth for nothing. She didn't even cut them in a square shape, my 2nd toe is literally the shape of a triangle. She was at one point RIPPING my toe nail off with the nail clipper. She was cutting it so short the skin around the nail was raw almost bleeding. Was so put off I couldn't even do the spa treatment/ callous remover as planned. She knew she was completely in the wrong bc she kept looking at them and apologizing. Then she had the audacity to come up to me while i was drying them TWICE to ask when I was paying. To top it off the card reader wasn't working and I had to sit at the register with the owner for almost 10 mins while she ignored me to talk to other customers and to do another persons nails (after already being annoyed with the service I received.) It's 2022 there's no reason you don't have a reliable way for customers to pay using card. Completely horrible experience from start to finish. Was a loyal customer coming in for gel pedis since last summer but will absolutely never return. I'd rather do my own nails and save myself the frustration time and money." read more

If I could give more stars I would. Went here because another nail salon did a horrible job on my nails and heard from a friend that this was a good place and "good" is not enough to describe this place. I had Jenny do my nails and she made sure every detail was absolutely perfect and kept asking me if I liked the nails every step and they came out perfect. Even though this place is far from me, it's worth it and this is now gonna be my go to nail place. read more

I love Sandy nails as they do the best job (in my opinion) on acrylic tips. I went here recently and got acrylic tips set which was great. However, this review is specifically for my pedicure. I got the callus remover, and when the technician was using it on my heel she scraped off a substantial amount of skin. at first I couldn't tell how bad it was because the cut was raw and she did do a good job of cleaning it. When I got home my foot was sore and I can understand that and it wasn't that bad. However, now, three days later the wound is red and it looks like she took off more skin thank I thought. While she did apologize, it wasn't really rectified in any way and I'm left with a wound on my right heel. I probably wouldn't come back here for a pedicure. My only suggestion is to be careful and ask that they take their time when working with some of the most sensitive skin on your body. read more

Sandy Nail and Spa - Acrylic tips ...pedicures...not so much - Nail Technicians Near Me - Franklin Square, New York

I started coming here after a coworker recommended it. Honestly, this is the best location on Long Island for gel manicures. My nails always last at least 3 weeks and I can get them as plain or as decorative as I want. Sandy has her own IG page (sandylipsingsu) of her creations; though if you want Sandy you need an appointment. I live in Suffolk County so I'll only make my appointments for after work but it is 100% worth it. read more

I've been coming here on and off for years....I am never disappointed!!! The prices are reasonable and I never wait long bc I always make an appointmen( they follow timing ) Jenny is the besssssttttt my nails always come out amazing read more

I go here often and it depends on what your looking for if you want to go here: Pros: Amazing nails Up on all the latest trends They can replicate any design that you want 90% of the time you will leave satisfied Not too pricey They're pleasant Cons: Can be extremely busy (they do take appointments) Only Sandy (the owner) talks to her clients. Everyone else is quiet. They're pleasant but you can feel awkward at moments Steve has a potty mouth so if you easily offended don't go there Normally spend $60 for a fill and nails with design Like any other Asian salon they're over all professional, get the job done, and do really nice nails. read more

SO TERRIBLE! I came here for a regular gel manicure and they are literally $25 which is more than tips at the place. The lady finished in 10 minutes and was rushing everything. THE NAILS ARE MESSY, NOT EVEN PROPERLY COATED, AND SHE ALMOST MADE ME BLEED WHEN SHE CUT MY NAIL! 100% do not recommend. read more

Decided to try them out since my place wasn't really taking great Covid precaution. AMAZING! As soon as you walk in they tell you to stand in front of the machine and take your temperature, then sign in. Then when you sit again they ask you to sanitize. They have a glass shield placed which I loved. Jenny did my pedicure and SNS powder set. Amazing! She did a great job, she's not really a talker but she does smile once in a while and asks if you are satisfied with her work/color. 10/10 rating. read more

This place is horrible. I used to go to sandy just for my nails but one day she was full and it was my bday weekend and since she was full I had to go to the heavy set fat big Asian guy the weird hair to do my nails. I always get tips and even sandy knew that. And she placed me with this guy knowing I get tips and this guy does not know how to do them but I gave him the benefit of the doubt so I let him do my nails and two days after I got a horrible infection in my nails to were puss was coming out from under my nail bed !!!!!! Mind you never in my life has that happened so beware they just use dirty rool read more

I am very particular with my nails. I've been to most of the nail salons in the area and they all suck or are way overpriced . Though Sandy nails may not meet ALL of my expectations, they are by far the BEST I have tried. I refuse to pay twice as much money somewhere else for something I'm gonna have to change every two weeks anyway. I've been coming here for years and I've never had an acrylic nail pop off, which is something that my friends always have a problem with, wherever they go to have their nails done. My nails very rarely break too. I think the main issue here is that the skill level of the staff is not consistent. Sandy, Jenny, and Steven always do an excellent job with acrylics, but the rest of the staff is really just good for manicures/pedicures . I am not really bothered by the fact that some days I have to wait. For me it's worth it. I always call and make an appointment. Some days they get backed up. It's to be expected in the service industry. read more
