over charged I called on the phone asking how much a service would be, and I was quoted a price. When I came in they did the service, and then charged 50% more than white they quoted me. If they knew they were charging me more, I wish they said it BEFORE doing the service so I could have decided. Had they made me aware of the massive price increase, I would have gone somewhere else. read more

Very Racist and unsupportive of any black person. Do not go here!! Not worth the time. They only cater to Jews. The quality of service is very bad. Will report them to the department of health. read more

Racist! How anyone black can support this place is beyond me! The surprise $12 charge to remove my nail polish was a shock! Receiving that charge at the register without informing me beforehand was a low blow. I was also quoted a lower nail service price over the phone when I made the appointment but that price also changed to $5 more at the register. And asking that I tip 20% on top of that was outrageous. I spent so much $$$ on this PLAIN/NO DESIGN/ NO FRILLS manicure. I could have paid the same price for a mani + pedi! As far the racism, I noticed that this facility goes out of their way to cater to Jewish Hassidic women and are offered luxury treatments for free that I wasn't. They are treated like royalty even when they are rude and mean AF to the nail techs. One Hasidic woman was yelling at the owner, Sylvia. Sylvia accommodated her EVERY wish. Meanwhile I'm sitting there being rushed through my service. The Hasidic women came in with their strollers, very active and crying children and it was akin to getting nails done at a synagogue daycare, not relaxing at all! I felt out of place and annoyed as hell. This salon lost me as a customer permanently. The place I usually go to a few blocks away is black owned and operated and they treat everyone with kindness and respect. I'll stick with them from now on. read more

Since my last visit to just get a pedicure; I decided to put fillings on my own nails to preserve them and to look more professional. I was sent to a young girl in the corner next to the nail drying section; she did a horrific job on my nails. I had to ask her to please stop and call her supervisor. The acrylic was so thick, extra wide and layered high that the manager at the door had to fix it. She used the machine to grind it down so the dust was extra thick around my hands. I had to ask for a mask due to the clean-up required to get my nails to normal. There were almost 3 layers are thick acrylic on each nail. My hands were sore when she was done filing and fixing them. That was my last visit and I do not plan on returning. I will stick with Green world around the corner (next to T-Mobile). Wendy knows what she's doing and will not charge you for things that look like crap. Thanks but I have taken my business elsewhere. I wish I had a picture to show you, but my hands hurt so badly I couldn't take one. read more

This is the worst manicure I've ever gotten. The woman that did my nails did not know what SNS was and had no idea what she was doing. She also glued on the tips incorrectly with them facing up rather than gluing against the nail. My nails are all different sizes and lengths and I was not pleased with the outcome. MAYBE this place is good for pedis or a regular mani, I doubt it. I also wouldn't come here if you're in a rush. I was here for 2+ hours even when it was empty. Update : I got my nails fixed somewhere. They were done correctly this time. (Second attached photo) read more

See all

I have been a client at Sylvia's nails for many many months. Every time I go, I am very satisfied. I get dipping powder on my fingers and I often get a pedicure, too. SometimesI get my eyebrows done as well because they're quick and better than I am. I love their new herbal type of pedicures that match how you're feeling and what you need. Also, they have every color imaginable so whatever I'm thinking I can definitely get. Everyone is incredibly friendly and wished me hello and goodbye when I visit. Honestly, getting my nails done at Sylvia's is what I look forward to every two or three weeks! Highlight of my week read more

Beware. They have amateurs that are probably not licensed doing your nails. They cut my toe badly and then Sylvia the owner acted like it was no big deal. Also, they said they needed to use the machine to file my nails to be clean though I have thin nails. They said then I have to pay for a manicure on top of the powder gel. Umm what??? The nail being clean amd buffed should be part of paying to get powder gel. I walked out. UNPROFESSIONAL AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. They would get ZERO stars. Never again. Thats what happens when you try to support a Brown owned business. read more

Thanks to my friend I have found the holy grail!!!! I have been going to the uber fancy nail places that charge damn near $100 for basic service. Why? Because I was mainly concerned about hygiene and sanitary settings when it comes to nail salons. Sylvia's nails is a great place to get your nails done for GREAT prices!!! They take their time to make sure your nails are done damn near PERFECT! When I got the powder gel (which lasts 3 weeks) and a pedicure and got my bill and it was UNDER $60 I almost did a cartwheel right there by the register!!! You can't beat it!!!! I get constant compliments daily!!!! The only thing I miss w/ my Uber fancy nail salons is that they use brand new nail tools on their customers. Each time you see them opening up a new package of tools. Here they soak it in that blue liquid which I always was a bit skeptical about whether that was an effective disinfectant?!?! Either way this place is AMAZING! Call for your appointment ASAP!!!!! read more

Came here because I live in the area and was tired of the usual salon I go to. First off, they have way more color choice for the SNS than the salon I usually go to (super plus). Second, their atmosphere is just different (in a good way). Although small inside, It's quiet and relaxing. I only give 4 stars because when soaking off the SNS from a previous manicure, they use burning hot water to help the acetone soak it off. I could barely let my fingers soak for more than 5 seconds read more

First I was skeptical because reviews aren't always the best to follow. As soon as I walked in for my first nail session I was greeted and with attentive professionalism. Which as some of us know it hard to come by these day. Especially depending on the zip code. My wait time was a bit long but no longer than a usual for walk-ins. As for my nail technician, she was delightful and I was very happy with the service and talent. I may come off demanding at times but there was no need to direct her at any point because she had did well. Great,great, great service worth your money. read more

Sylvia is amazing, attentive and careful as ever. This is her brand new shop, it is spotless, with great polish selection and they take appointments. They give excellent and very thorough pedicures for when your feet are looking less than lovely. Sylvia is by far the best manicurist I have ever met and I will follow her wherever she goes. read more

I wanted to try a new nail salon because quite frankly I got tired of the old environment of mines. I walked over here because I live in the neighborhood and they were closed. I'm supper disappointed because my Queen day is tomorrow and i just wanted a new atmosphere read more

What a wonderful little hole in the wall spot that offers superb work. My sister and I found this place last minute in search of mani-pedis before our vacation to Panama. The workers here take their time and make sure to attend to every little detail, even the details you don't notice! What I loved most of all is how friendly and polite the employees were. They were very respectful and accommodating, making this is a wonderful and calm atmosphere. I'll be back Sylvia's Nails! read more

I have been a client of Sylvia's for awhile and was so happy to hear she was opening her own shop! Her and her staffs attention to detail is impeccable. They put a fresh liner in pedicure basin for every client too so you know you aren't dipping your toes in someone else's funk! read more

I'm searching for a new nail salon in Brooklyn & I thought I found the one. The women there are extremely professional, however, the wait is ridiculous. I must've spent a total of 4-5 hours in the nail salon. I went about 6 months ago, maybe it's different now. But I won't be waiting another 5 hours to find out. The girl I had was patient and respectful. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. My gel began to peel about a week in, not good enough for the prices in my opinion. Try her out, you'll be happy with the results. Hopefully, you won't have as long a wait as I did. read more

I watch everything they did and they was very clean. They went to a separate sink to wash the tools before giving me my pedicure. They also took their time and made sure it was done well... I had a ingrown, the person tried to take it out but I'm not sure she took it all out but overall it fell like a real nails on that aims to make you feel relax read more

Wonderful! They are so attentive to detail. I was in there for a while but they really do focus on everything. I got an acrylic set and a pedicure. All of which took a lot of time because they take time to do it right & they don't rush. I appreciated that. It's also very clean in there and cozy. This is definitely my new place. They are very kind & informative. read more

From the first time I went to Sylvia, she treated me like a customer she had for years. She and her staff treats everyone with respect and their work is amazing! I love going there. read more

I have been a frequent customer for the last year or so I love this place their detail in the polishing of my nails to the scrub of my feet during my bi weekly pedicure service I would definitely recommend this establishment FYI please make an appointment for service walk-in are not recommended only if you don't mind waiting read more

Sylvia really knows customer service. She's attentive, takes her time and cares for her customers. She was working at another nail salon when I first met her, when she left so did I. It's so hard finding this level of customer service in NY because of the fast paced lifestyle here. People don't understand that when she says it will be an hour it is because she doesn't rush her customers, she takes all the time needed to give precision and care to her customers. She's got me for life. read more

Best pedicure I've ever received. They are so very thorough. Cut, filed, scrubbed and then some. Very nice ladies.

I never post reviews but that's how great this place was. I have been looking for a place that treats their customers kindly and with respect and pays close attention to detail and I have found it. Sylvia takes her time, the environment is calm and relaxing, it is amazing! Just make an appt first! read more

I went here for the first time to get my fill in for my tips and the way Sylvia cut my skin with the machine is ridiculous. Never again

This review is for the experience and job upon leaving the salon only. Unfortunately, I have had enough experience with writing great reviews for the service at establishments only to be disappointed in longevity or quality of product. That being said, I was very pleased with my experience at Sylvia's. I could tell from my pedicure that my tech, Carmen was into the care of my nails and feet and not just interested in cutting corners for a superficially pretty pedicure. I'm particular because I work hard for my money and I've been through cosmetology school. I observed that ALL of Carmen's practices were 100% sanitary. I did not have to question that aspect but whatever concerns I did have with regards to the mani/ pedi, she was willing to address without a problem. Nails and toes came out beautiful and she remedies some issues that I was having with unevenness and broken nails. Very pleased and looking forward to my next visit in 3 wks instead of 2, since I switched from acrylic to sns gel color. Heads up, make an appt if you need acrylic (it's a requirement there) I'm glad I didn't know that or I probably would have just gotten a fill in but the sns is much better for your nails and last longer. read more
