Reservation strongly recommended…read more Ive been here a few times and always my first choice when it comes to good quality great service. I have never made a reservation so Ive always had to wait. This previous time I came, I kept coming back in 1 hour intervals with no availability. I decided to wait the last time I came back and was able to get my nails done. My nails last and have not chipped yet. (It has been 2 weeks!) It's very relaxing and they have stands for your phone if you decide to watch a show. Their designs are great and they gave me exactly what I asked for. Although my sister's mermaid tail design looked nothing like a mermaid tail... I strongly recommend this place if you're looking for lasting nail with great design!

First off, the salon is down a flight of broken concrete steps that are a tripping hazard and it is drafty and cold inside with no nice touches. I added on a service of callus removal - $15, not cheap. It was subpar, I've never seen a rasp used in any of the dozen salons I've used over the years, and the actual removal was not good. Maybe 50% of the callus was removed. Most salons have nail drying oil and saran wrap at the pedicure drying station for customers to use. This one did not. When I asked for saran, the nail tech wrapped it so haphazardly (like she had never done it before), that I ended up with marks from the saran all over my nails. Do NOT recommend.

My nails were extremely brittle and weak. She turned my little nubs into beautiful french tips.

It was $86 without tip for the acrylic french tip extensions! I'd highly recommend and I'd come back again.

I…read morereally liked how I pre paid for the services when booking the appointment so that when my nails were done I can just quickly head out. I already had builder gel on my natural nails so that they could start growing out but they started lifting (these were done at a different salon). My appointment was with Liam and he prepped my nails really well after removing the old gel and did a fill in for me. I also showed an inspo pic of a design I liked and they were transparent with letting me know that I didn't select the correct service option since the inspo I had needed a more complex design. So I went ahead and chose to do a single color cat eye and I love it (: I would definitely recommend going here!

They use liners in the pedicure tubs, have a huge selection of colors and the whole salon feels very professional and well cared for. They also take pride in properly sanitizing their tools and keeping everything extremely clean, which is very important to me! It's a family owned business which I love supporting. Patty is my favorite. She's incredibly sweet, detail oriented and always does such a wonderful job.

I was on time and was actually surprised there was a customer as well as two ladies because I was early and punctual. I did call to make an appointment day before. I like the ambiance. A big bright window that lets in all this beautiful natural light and it's on a residential block so quiet for the most part except the ups, usps and neighbors parking their cars. Price was reasonable considering I went definitely for gel pedicure and they suggested same for manicure since I mentioned my nails have been breaking easily lately so the powder gel will strengthen and it did! I am very happy with service. I had Sarah. The owner, Linda, was helpful and nice as well.

I always get Tier 3 or special nail art done and I spend around $130-$150 on my sets. It's quality and I don't mind paying for what I get. I've had almost every nail tech in the salon. But my main girl is Amaya (who is now only at the HON studio). She always takes extra care and time on my nails to ensure everything is properly placed and is built to last. She has never done me wrong!!!! When I get my pedicures at the Rego Park location, my regular polish pedicures are done so well that they will last months... my gel pedicures last for a long time too. Overall, all the nail techs know what they're doing and they do it really well. Everyone is always so kind here and the vibes are always fun. If you go in the morning, it's more calm. For mamas like me, you're going to want that extra calm atmosphere in the morning so make sure you schedule your appointments then. But if you're also like me and you end up scheduling a night time appointment, that can be peaceful too. :)
