Great service and great pricing!! They were so sweet, they even bought me a water bottle from the market next door because I was thirsty! Definitely making this my go to nail spot from now on. read more

Took a break from getting my nails done, but I'm back at full swing. Got engaged with nails done by this place and now testing out wedding nails before the big day! They are always high quality and last me 4-6 weeks. The staff are super sweet and I never have felt rushed. read more

I came in here with the longest nails I've ever had only to leave with extremely short, thick, bumpy, uneven nails. The person who cut my nails cut my middle finger on my right hand so short that when the woman who actually did my nails came over she asked if I wanted to even them all out, and I let her know that someone here cut them that way. I will say the woman who did my nails took her time which I appreciate, but I cannot believe how short my nails are now. The actual shape of my nails are extremely bulbous and thick at the base, bumpy, and round with a weird sharp point at the end. I asked for pointy almond. These nails are so unflattering they make my hands look short and stubby. I have been getting dip for 2 years now and have never been this disappointed before. This was my first time here and definitely will not be returning. read more

I've seen some older, negative reviews and if that's stopping you from trying this place, please ignore them! I've been living in Astoria for about a year and had been testing out lots of different nail salons before finally finding Silvia's. The other places were fine, but my gel manicure would chip after only one week (or less). I've been to Silvia's several times now, and each time I swear my gel manicure lasts about four weeks. The women who work there are hardworking, and put effort and care into what they're doing. Especially love that they don't skimp out on the pedicure massage. The salon is clean and comfortable. Highly recommend trying this place!! read more

My original nail lady cancelled and I had my daughter with me, so I found this place since it was close. They had an appointment ready for me, they were super nice and clean. Of course my daughter started crying and another lady jumped up to rock her stroller and was playing so nice with her, things like this really makes life easier. The massage was amazing! I had the worst shoulder pain and I think I'm cured lol. Definitely recommend! read more

Loved the service Silvia provided . She was clean , Prompt and my manicure is impressive she even suggested a different filling for my nails to keep them healthy, I will def be back for her services read more

Come to Silvias if you want a FAST mani pedi. I had an appointment at 4pm and was out in 45min. I got a regular pedicure ($20) and powder gel manicure ($40). My pedi was 10-15min, no one else was waiting and it just did not seem worth the price. Unfortunately I did not feel relaxed, I felt like I was getting rushed out the door. I believe Silvia was my nail tech. They get a star for cleanliness which is super important right now. Temp check. Appointments only. They get another star for the color selection. So many options to choose from! I just really wished she didn't rush me. I wanted to enjoy a relaxing afternoon but instead I was constantly moving my feet and hands since she was moving fast. She did cut me twice, and she was hard handed. I'll won't be going back unfortunately. read more

I started coming to Silvia's when I lived in Astoria last year. Because of the amazing quality, care, and level of service here, I make the trip every two weeks from Midtown Manhattan. Not only is Silvia and her team attentive and caring, but they really will take your requests and do the best job. I have come in here with broken nails and toenails and no matter what I walk out looking normal again (my nails are frail so they break easily). I always feel comfortable and like my hands and feet will be well taken care of. The prices are amazing and Silvia even offers a reward after ten visits (free manicure). You really can't beat this! I've gone to MANY nail salons and I know I can only trust Silvia and her team. Anyone who says otherwise was either having a bad day or is just plain hateful. Her regulars are loyal and she knows us all by name. Come in to Silvia's! You will NOT be disappointed! Some pics of my gel manicure and regular pedicure are included! read more

This is my local nail salon. I love the staff! I have never had a unpleasant experience with these ladies. They are professional and they are honest. Price is normal for the area. If they can squeeze you in, they will. Special thanks for treating my 3 year old niece like a princess. Julianna, loved her pink and purple nails! read more

Wow, second time here at Silvia's. Monica helped me this morning. Perfect pedicure with delightful foot and calves massage. This place is always so peaceful and relaxing. My nails are perfect and the color applied slowly with multiple coats. I am always happy coming here. read more

Today was my first visit to Silvia's and I was not disappointed. I had 3 chipped nails so they gave me extensions on those 3 (in this photo, the thumb is an extension). I had a great experience. It was fast, easy, and to the point. This is a great place to visit if you are looking for a cheap and simple nail experience. My total was $40 for gel polish, which included the 3 extensions! read more

Silvias Nails & Spa - Gel polish on my natural nails. I love! - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I've been searching for a nail salon in Astoria since I moved here in July. I was super excited to try Silivias after reading through all of the positive reviews here on Yelp. Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience as everyone else. I came in for just a dip powder (no pedicure) and it took an hour and forty minutes. Remind you - there was nobody else there, I was not waiting to be helped - the actual service took an hour and forty minutes! Since I was already late to work, I had to leave the salon with one unfinished nail. The nail technician kept touching my one nail to see if it was "dry" and continuously kept smudging it. Unfortunately, I could not wait any longer for them to fix this nail so I had to leave. I was still charged $50 for the service. I did return later at night for them to fix the nail at no cost, but I still would not come back. It was clear that whoever was doing my nails had no clue what they were doing. I also think it's crazy that they still charged me $50 despite the fact that I left with an unfished nail. read more

I've lived in Astoria for 5 years and never knew this place existed. Although a big pricey, it's worth it. I have the mini spa pedicure and had some serious side calluses that needed to be filed away. Maria took care of me - although she didn't speak much, she did a good job. I felt a little rushed when it came to the massage because someone walked in and wanted a mani and she had to take that person. The mini spa pedi was $30 and took 30 mins. I think I'll come back for a mani next. This place is in the back of a salon - with only two stations. Read about back massage at the end and was excited to receive, but no one gave me one. Maybe next time! read more

Loved her! She took care of my Ingrown toe nails like no other! Going back soon! She is located in a hair salon BTW. read more

I had the most horrible experience today she spent so long trying to shape the nail and it kept getting worse, the nails were crooked and lumpy. The pic is after she tried to fix the crooked lines. The other hand is completely different as well. Never again. read more

I got a gel manicure and a mini spa pedicure done over the weekend. Rosa was so fast and efficient, had me out within an hour! Loved the way they shaped my nails, and the price is really good too. I definitely recommend this place. It's clean, calm, and everyone is friendly. read more

I've been coming here for about a year to get powder gel manicures. Silvia's does the best manicure in Astoria and it lasts so long - about a month. I've been to other salons and their powder manicures last less than 2 weeks. All of the technicians are great and very friendly. read more

I wanted to give this place a higher review, but my nails tell the truth. 2.5/3 is the highest I will go. The problem is that the ladies rush too much and the quality is lacking. A typical powder dip would usually last me 2 weeks, but their dip lasted me 3 days before cracking, 5 days before peeling off my nails and 7 days before most of them were off. What a waste of money. My nails should've been worked on more so the dip would've stayed on longer. But no, 3 days later and the cracking started and the peeling started right after that. Their regular pedicure was decent, but I had to go back the next day because I needed another coat on each nail. They were nice about that but should've checked and asked if I wanted an extra coat. My toes were spotty and the extra coat was much needed. I don't think I would return because of the rushed job and low quality. You can see the progression of my nails as they fell off. read more

UPDATE: 2 hours after leaving I took a shower and the clear nail polish has COMPLETELY PEELED OFF!! I WISH I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE ZERO STARS!!! Dingy, disgusting, just the worst!! I WAS FOOLED BY THEIR 5 STARS --DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE. I will attach pictures to prove my point. I walked in wanting a gel manicure and a regular pedicure, however the nail tech did such a bad job that I left with a subpar pedicure (which she did in 8 min) and a clear manicure. I could not stand to see what mess she would make out of colored polish, so I gave up and settled for clear. They added a silk wrap on my broken toe nail, which I DID NOT ASK FOR! The girl with the 'Evelyn' bird tattoo on her forearm gave me such an awful manicure; my nails are completely uneven and she made me bleed. The other nail tech, with the glasses, was very sweet and tried to help me, but it's not enough to save this s***hole. This is what I get for cheating on my usual nail technician ... I would rather have ugly undone nails than ever give my money to this pathetic establishment again! read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. The first time I went they were amazing. Good quality and service. But it all went downhill from there. The second time a went the nail tech did a horrible job on my nails. They all peeled and broke the next day (this was my real nail by the way). I recently went hoping that the last experience was just a one time thing and it'll be better. I was wrong. My pedicure was absolutely disgusting; different layers of nail polish could be seen and the nail was cut too short. My manicure was even worse. The nail tech cut my cuticles to the point where there was blood on multiple fingers and it got to the point where THREE separate ladies were doing my manicure. It was overpriced and I do not recommend. read more

Always a great experience! Silvia is so nice and does a great job! This will always be my spot in Astoria ! read more

Silvias Nails & Spa - Gel powder French - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I've been seeing Silvia since 2015, with a brief break in 2019 when we relocated to another neighborhood. I have since returned to Silvia after many attempts to find another nail salon of equal quality and service. Precovid, Silvia would give you the best massage of your life while waiting for your nails to dry. Currently, Silvia observes safety precautions diligently (ex: temp checks, tracking sheet, and PPE) which makes me feel very safe. Her prices are remarkably reasonable despite its astoria's location and the quality of her work impeccable. Highly recommend! read more

I went yesterday around 6:30pm for a powder gel manicure and a regular pedicure. I had hard gel on my nails and gel on my toes and I made sure I said that over the phone. First off, I was charged for removing the hard gel on my nails, which most salons don't do if you aren't doing a regular manicure. I feel like my powder gel is too bulky and uneven, the woman doing my nails didn't use the efile, but she just used a regular nail file to rush so that she can get me out of there by 8. Because she was using a regular file, she really bruised up my skin around my cuticles. The shape of my nails is also really weird, they're all different shapes. I absolutely hate my nails and will not be returning to this salon. read more

I've been a long time client with Silvia for years now. But yesterday.... I walked into her new place, so beautiful, so clean and serene! I got my usual gel manicure and pedicure, received a wonderful complimentary massage by Penny. What a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Silvias Nails & Spa to everyone!!! read more

Was here for a manicure and pedicure, and was completely impressed by the professionalism and customer service. The team are made up of a fantastic group of women who really know their craft! This is my favorite nail salon in all of NYC! P.S. the facility is very clean, the instruments are regularly sanitized, and the decor is beautiful! read more

I really hesitated to write this review because I have had so many positive experiences at this business but my experience yesterday was one of the worst I have ever had. I have gone here for almost two years to get my eyebrows waxed and they have always done a great job and been super professional. However, yesterday when I went in the stylist who served me was talking on her cell phone and ended up waxing off a large chunk of my eyebrow. In an effort to correct her mistake, she trimmed the rest of the brow hair way down so the edges are much shorter and more blunt. I am someone who has thick and wispy eyebrows and have maintained them like that for years so to see them like this has been pretty jarring to myself and other people who know me. I like to think this was just a one time mistake since they have done great work for me in the past. However given the unprofessionalism of a stylist being on their phone and how poor this result is, I am truly unsure if I will ever be going back. They always do a great job on manicures and pedicures though, so please don't let this review dissuade you from those services. But I would definitely be cautious when it comes to the waxing. read more

My nails look great and have lasted a long time already. Highly recommend! Very reasonably priced and I was quickly in and out. I also felt very safe in terms of the pandemic. read more

I recently moved to Astoria from the UWS. I went to Silvia for the first time, on a random Thursday afternoon because the top rated place in the area was a disappointment(acrylic peeled within 5 days; uneven lengths). Silvia is so sweet and extraordinarily attentive. She made it clear that if I had any issues, she would be happy for me to come back and have it fixed. She was very patient when I added more requests to my session. I really admire her work ethic (she is a great business woman!) I will return to her again soon, and highly recommend her to anyone on the market for their new go-to lady! read more

I have gone to a couple different nail salons in Astoria over the past 2 years and stumbled into this one about 2 months ago because of the convenience - it's about 2 blocks from my apartment. I started getting regular manicures and pedicures and was pretty impressed. The pedicure was great, wasn't rushed, they do a great job with the polish. Seems like something I shouldn't have to point out, but I've definitely had some hack job paint jobs at other salons. The pedicures last well over 3-4 weeks without chipping. The regular manicures last the usual week or so. I started getting gel manicures the last 2 times and couldn't be happier. Gorgeous colors, great polish job, and lasts awhile. Pricing is great! $25 for a regular mani/pedi and $40 for a gel mani/regular pedi. Really can't beat those prices! read more

Worst service I've ever received in a nail salon. First off I get my nails done every week. Just moved to Astoria and was looking for a new salon and based on reviews and the fact it's so close to my house, I decided to come here. Came in for a mani pedi. My pedi was fine and I decided to get dip after a brief conversation with one of the women there who's name I don't know. Martha was very nice and started doing my dip. After the first dip I was already not liking it and the other woman who u had spoke to earlier said it would be fine after being completed. Side note I'm the type of person who shows all of my emotions on my face so I know they both knew I wasn't happy. As she was finishing up, the other woman made a comment in Spanish to Martha to see if I was liking my nails and they giggled and Martha told her she would ask me once she finished. I understand and speak Spanish.... When she asked me if I liked it I told her no and I was really sorry but I wasn't happy. She asked if I wanted her to remove them and I told her yes and that I understood she took a lot of time but I truly didn't like how they came out. The other lady in Spanish told her that she would have to charge me an additional $10 to remove them. I quickly responded and said that it would be cheaper for me to keep them. Anyways I decided to remove them and get just a plain color. Ended up being the worst and most expensive mani I've ever received. I would have tipped Martha regardless and she would have been taken care of. What really upset me was the fact that they spoke Spanish about me as I was sitting there and wanted to charge me MORE for something I was very unhappy with. That's not customer service. Also, the salon looks very different than in the pictures. Don't go here. read more

I moved to Astoria recently and needed a nail spot. I happened to stumble upon this place on yelp and saw that it was very easy to make appointments on their website. The first time I went I just needed a pedicure, I like to get regular mani/pedis a lot over the summer but other than that I don't get them aside from my birthday, Christmas, or a big occasion. I decided to try out their color gel before going on vacation upstate this summer and after that I was hooked. I've been here 5 times now. The OPI color gel will last me up to 3 weeks (the other one they have will last a full 2). I'm pretty tough on my hands, I cook and wash dishes at home a lot and I work in healthcare so I'm constantly washing my hands. I was so impressed by how long the color gel lasts and looks that I now am getting color gel regularly without any special occasion or reason. Another plus is that I feel safe going here with the COVID precautions they are taking. The only down side to this salon is that I wish they had more OPI gel colors to choose from. read more

I am VERY picky with my nails and I'm rarely happy when I try a new nail salon. I recently moved to Astoria and luckily found this amazing place where I will be a routine customer. Both times I got my nails done (once with Silvia and once yesterday with another technician) I loved the way they turned out. My first powder manicure actually lasted me a month looking great without chipping or lifting. Gel powder manicures are expensive, but the results from this nail salon make it worth it. read more

I've lived in astoria for 14 years. This was the best manicure I've had. To start, I called late and asked if they would take me for a gel manicure and pedicure a 1/2 hour before they closed. They said yes. The work was somehow done incredibly quickly with the precision as if they'd spent 2 hours doing it. While getting my gel manicure by the owner, I was given the best massage by Fanny I've ever had. And I go regularly. If only they did full body there it would be amazing.Also they do a big discount for getting gel manicure & pedicure. Separately it would have been $50, which is still good. Together it was only $40. You cannot beat this cozy place. Just an FYI she rents the space in the back of Mint salon. read more

I don't want to give this 5 stars because I don't want it to get too busy, but credit is due where earned. I don't get my nails done often, but decided I wanted a pedicure and within walking distance. The pricing is so reasonable at Silvia's, so I decided to give them a try knowing i wouldn't be upset if it wasn't great. Well, i absolutely was not disappointed and have gone back again since my first visit. Because of the great service and pricing, I may start being a girl that gets her nails done regularly. Silvia's is no-frills, but is so cozy and relaxing, I couldn't ask for more. So you don't get lost finding it, she rents space in Mint Salon on Newtown. read more
