    My valentines/birthday nails!

    Love this nail salon! I honestly can't say enough good things about this place! It's by far the best in the area. Every time I go, no matter who does my nails, I always leave super happy with how they turn out. The team is so friendly, and they really take their time to make sure everything looks perfect. Whether I'm just getting a basic mani or something more intricate, they always nail it! If you're looking for a great place to get your nails done, this is it!

    The best place at forest hills. Very beautiful place and very clean. I'm so happy with my nails

    Great nail salon!!! They are clean, I'm a very picky person specially with my nails. Highly recommend it.

    So happy I stumbled upon this lovely salon! I only trust them with my nails! The staff here are always so helpful and patient with choosing a color. My manis always last and constant compliments on how great my nails look- nice little boost to get me through the day, I'll take it :p Rupa always does a great job threading in the back. What a talented sweetheart she is! All in all, the ladies (and gents) are so personable and keep me coming back. So glad to have you in the neighborhood [sorry about my pic quality, I need to remember to take pix when I get em done!]

    Finally a reliable salon in Forest Hills! Super happy with my nails, every single time. The powder gel lasts weeks, without chipping or lifting. Best gel powder place in all of Queens! They are always busy so make an appointment or be prepared to wait, even a long time.

    Three and a half....because they don't give you the requisite 30 second back rub at the nail drying station. And there's not enough attention paid to removing callouses from heels. Otherwise no complaints. Nice polish job (French as always). Friendly. Clean. New. Will come back and will recommend.

    Thank you, Tina!

    Thank you, Tina! I love them. Professional service, patient and exactly what I asked for.

    White with chrome on accent nail. $5 extra for two nails. Not bad at all!

    Did powder manicure twice here in my first two experiences at this salon which is only a few mins away from me and I just found them on Yelp. The pricing is great, $35, just wish they had more rare color options! Soak off is free too which is a plus. I got converted to powder by them because my nails kept getting weaker from regular gel and powder is healthier and last longer. So far liking it although the process takes longer. Only one star off because sometimes the table and tools can appear unhygienic and messy. And the wait while you soak is really long. But I've only been here while they're busy. I speak Mandarin with the technicians and they're really friendly! My regular spot now.

    Gel polish in four days

    I showed up on a Friday night and got a regular gel polish. It was a great experience and I was fully satisfied. I thought I found a new nail salon! By Tuesday night, four days later, the gel started to chip from the edges so I took pictures and called the salon. I spoke with Tina first thing Wed morning and she asked when I could come - I told her Sunday and she said OK ! (I work and I can't make it there on a weekday). I offered to send her pics so she doesn't think I'm crazy and she said to send them to her which I did. She said okay ! I then texted her on Sat to ask if I could come on Sat instead. She said yes. I show up and I said I was the girl who texted her. She said oh it's you ! I sit down and the lady who did my nails last week comes to remove my gel and I also tell her how my polish chipped by Tues. I proceed to get an entire speech about how it's better to get powder gel because no one gets regular gel anymore and how it's better the more you do regular gel because apparently my nail bed was too clean ?!?! So I get convinced and thought ok I'll just pay the difference. NOPE. I go to pay and remind Tina that I'm the one with the issues and she acts confused and then finally oh okay then you just pay $30 instead of $35. So I get a $5 discount because my gel last week was terrible and I had to re-do it again ?! She then tries $28 the price of the gel polish she wants me to pay - and finally she's like $25- just pay that. I'm not haggling ! I told her that when she ask me when I could come back I assumed she would cover me. She replies that she would if I came back earlier (when I told you specifically I would come Sunday and you said OK ?) because she could have fixed it ? Does the attached pictures look fixable ? The thumb one chipped halfway a day later ! And she also then said that she didn't know it was me when she had my polish removed - meanwhile I texted you in the same thread ! It isn't MY job to keep track of your text messages. Beyond annoyed right now. In the past week and a day I have spent over $100 at this salon - I spent $30 today and $34 last week on my hands.... $64 on nails because they cannot get it right. Had she told me straight that she would charge me I would not have came back and spent additional money doing my nails. This is NOT how you run a business and not how you keep customers. I am not planning to return. It's unfortunate. The ladies at the salon are good but this entire experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Not cool at all.

    The worst salon I've ever been to in terms of service (or lack thereof) and my nail polish chipped on the same day. Never coming back here.

    The manager of this location should not be in a customer-facing management role. Throughout the…read moreyears I've been coming here, I have consistently found her to be rude, dismissive, condescending, and unprofessional. The reason I continued coming back was because my waxer Dolly, was wonderful. She was always kind, skilled, and made every appointment a great experience. Unfortunately, every interaction I had with the manager was the complete opposite. I didn't interact with her often, but each experience was worse than the last. What is most disappointing is that this is not an isolated issue. There are multiple reviews from other customers describing similar experiences with her. During one of our interactions, she told me she had been the manager for four years, and despite the ongoing complaints reflected in those reviews, the level of customer service I experienced never improved. For a business that relies so heavily on customer relationships, the way customers are treated at the front desk is just as important as the quality of the services being provided. It's unfortunate that such a positive experience with the estheticians is overshadowed by poor management. The final straw came when my services were canceled because of a private conversation I had with a former employee. That conversation was never made public, yet it was shared with management and used as the basis for ending my services. I found it deeply unprofessional to act on secondhand information from a private conversation rather than address any concerns with me directly. Rather than reaching out to discuss my concerns or taking any accountability for my repeated negative experiences, I simply received a message informing me that my private conversation had been shared and that I was no longer welcome at that location. There was no phone call, no conversation, and no effort to understand or address the issues I had experienced. If you're considering this location, I encourage you to read the reviews for yourself. My experience was consistent with many of the concerns other customers have shared. A generic, automated response to negative reviews indicating "you're looking into it" does not resolve the underlying issues or improve the customer experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dolly and the estheticians who provide excellent service, but my repeated experiences with management have left me unable to recommend this location.

    I wish I can give negative reviews. Extremely disappointing experience at this location, especially…read morethe manager Talesha. After 5 years as a customer, this is how it ended. I had a confirmed reservation under a 24-hour window, received a text at 1:35pm the day before stating my appointment was confirmed (no reply requested), then a separate store-sent text at 5:10pm asking for a YES/NO reply within a few hours. I missed that second text and my appointment was cancelled the next morning with a 50% cancellation fee charged -- despite already having a confirmed reservation. When I went in to discuss this with the manager, Talesha, her explanation was that the first text is an automated corporate message and the second is a separate store confirmation, and that since I've received these texts for years and it's all logged in their system, missing one was my fault. But by her own policy, this second confirmation request came less than 24 hours before my appointment -- so was I supposed to sit by my phone waiting to reply the moment it came in, knowing I'd already be inside the no-cancellation window regardless? That's not a reasonable expectation, and it doesn't match what actually happened on 2/27, when I only received the automated message with no store confirmation text at all, and wasn't charged. She also told me that even if I opt out of texts, they would force me back into opt-in so they could enforce this policy on me. I have texted STOP in the past and it confirmed I was opted out -- so either that was false, or they're overriding customers' opt-out status without telling them. Either way, that's a serious problem. When I asked for this to be looked into and showed her the message timeline on my phone, she called me rude and tried to end the conversation. Meanwhile, two staff members and herself at the front desk were loudly talking and laughing while I was trying to receive my service. Completely unprofessional. I've seen some bad reviews here, not sure why she's still there when so many customers experience her bad services and attitude.
