    I absolutely adore this nail salon! Stephanie, the owner, is an absolute sweetheart; she goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and 100% satisfied with the nails. She offers many many services and her prices are extremely fair. Her attention to detail and skill is honestly astonishing. I've gone to her twice so far and I've left extremely happy both times. I've gotten gel builder on my natural nails both times and the first time lasted me the whole month! The nail salon is located on the second floor of a hair salon so it may be difficult to find for first timers! The decor and overall setting of the salon is super cute and inviting.

    Where do I even start? Steph does an outstanding job at her craft. There are many times where I'll come in with an idea, and leave with something completely different just because this chick always makes suggestions or tweaks to what I originally want. This is not a bad idea just because her ideas are EVEN BETTER than my original ones. (I mean see the pictures for yourselves!) Parking spaces are hard to find in flushing, but you can always commute by transit considering that there are so many buses and it's conveniently located two blocks away from the 7 train. Don't expect this to be your average nail salon, because it's a much more intimate setting. Not a cramped space, but rather a cozy aesthetic feel with flowers along the walls, and her mother's succulents decorating the shelves! Because steph takes her time with her clients and is also a full time student, the "downside" is that it's run by appointment only- so feel free to dm her on insta @stephthenailtech! Pricing is for sure reasonable- you get a bang for your buck because she focuses on QUALITY. She is so gentle with your nails, unlike my other unpleasant salon visits with cutting too deep in to the cuticle and making me bleed :( Excited to come back again! See you soon Stephanie

    Chipped mani after a week
    Stephy L.

    I wanted to get a mani and pedi done before a trip. And I came upon this because of the lavishing reviews. The service was great but the experience was subpar. First of all, I was short sighted by the cost of the entire thing. Apparently there was a $13-$15 extra for Stephanie's special nail polish?? That was added without my knowledge and when I asked about it the guy told me it was tax?? Also my mani and pedi chipped after one week. After paying $80 with tip for the whole thing.

    Could not have asked for a better experience. Sarah worked on my dip powder extensions and they came out wonderfully. The ambiance is also what made this a five star experience. It just felt like a group of friends coming together even though this was my first time meeting Steph and Sarah. I was confused at first since they share the space with Messlook salon (they're upstairs), but a quick call was all that was needed. I definitely recommend both Sarah and Steph, they do an amazing job on your nails and at making you feel comfortable.

    Steph is SO friendly and a literal perfectionist aka exactly what you want your nail artist to be! She will tend to whatever your request is and do it amazingly. I was very pleased that she didn't damage my cuticles (I really hate when nail techs push my cuticles too hard since I don't like them cut). She's also very sanitary, you'll see how she sanitizes and uses new items.

    Ouuu! Where do I begin! Steph has been doing my nails for a little over a year and she has not failed me once!! other nails salons would rush, leave streaks, in a day or two my gel manicure would chip or they would make me bleed from my cuticles, no cool at all. Since Steph has been doing my nails they have grown tremendously and healthy that I have referred her to many of my close friends. She will not let you down. BOOK HER NOW!

    I love this nail salon & Steph, who runs it - such a boss. Crazy that she's still in school. She's super sweet, talented and meticulous; really takes her time with her work. It's worth it because my nails turn out beyond perfect every time. She def has an artistic eye so I trust her to take charge with designs and they come out better than I could have imagined. The salon is clean and she makes sure that clients wash their hands, which I greatly appreciate. Her prices are very reasonable, as she uses high quality products and does an impeccable job. Can't say enough good things about her, but make sure you make an appointment because she can get quite busy.

    steph is literally the kindest and sweetest soul ever! her service is amazing and she delivers so much patience and time for her clients. unlike other nail salons, she takes her time to hear your needs and is super accommodating to how you'd like to style your nails. she offers a variety of design options and can deliver the same art work as what you show her from pinterest! pretty amazing. my expectations were met. the salon was super clean and she disinfects and sanitize after each client. super friendly!! will be coming back again

    I went in today and told Sarah I wanted something "anti Valentine's Day" and let her free style on my nails. (Where are the bitter singles at) Let me tell you, was NOT disappointed. They came out so cute! She took me so far out of my comfort zone and I couldn't be more inn love with them. Sarah is a perfectionist and it shows! I will definitely be back!!

    I was recommended to go to Steph from one of my friends and Im so glad I did. Steph really pays attention to detail and is super artistic and it reflects in her work. Shes the sweetest ever and I love all the work she does. I love getting my nails done from her, she kills it everytime.

    Really good service! Stephanie is attentive to details and gives you what you ask. Also she is very nice and sociable. My nails came out great Highly recommend!

    I've been going to Steph to get my nails done for a couple of months and my nails always last for 2-3 weeks. She always helps me figure out what I should do for my nails (she's extremely creative.) She's also super sweet!!! I love talking to her while she's doing my nails. The prices are reasonable and setting up appointments are simple. I have recommended people to her and they all love her too. Definitely set up an appointment with her.

    Stephanie is amazing!! This is my first time trying nail designs other than a basic manicure and Stephanie exceeded all expectations. She was patient in explaining each step of the way and gave her suggestions for what would look best with my nail length (decided not to go for extensions). I never felt pressured to get a certain design or color. Not only was she so helpful in helping me decide on a color and design, she also was incredibly patient and dedicated to make sure each and every nail was perfectly painted. Before she began, she used one nail as a test to see if I would like it before committing. I have never had a manicure like this before and I'm so impressed and delighted with the service and result. Thank you so much Stephanie!! I'll definitely be back to try something new. :)

    Extremely Disappointed After 2+ Years of Loyalty -- Very Money-Hungry Business That Doesn't Value…read moreCustomers My sister and I have been loyal, consistent clients at this salon for over two years. Sadly, our recent experience has shown that they care more about money than treating their customers with basic respect and professionalism. I sent a deposit to secure an appointment, clearly expecting it to go toward the booking. At no point did I say it was a tip. The owner had previously canceled on me last minute, and I was understanding. Instead of asking for a refund, I chose to reschedule. When rescheduling, I was told a time with no clarification of AM or PM. Since I asked for the earliest slot, I assumed AM. I traveled from Brooklyn to Queens early in the morning and waited 45 minutes without a single response to my texts or calls. Hours later, I was finally told to come back. Frustrated but still loyal, I canceled other plans and returned--only to be offered a free manicure to make up for the mix-up. That day, my Uber costs alone were over $100--more than the cost of the service. Given all the inconvenience, I chose not to leave a tip, which is well within my rights as tipping is optional. I usually always tip, but not after that experience. Later, I was refused service completely--because I wanted to apply the deposit I had already sent toward a new appointment rather than let them keep it as a tip. Denying a loyal customer over something so small and unjustified is beyond unprofessional. This business lost two long-time clients over a situation that could've been resolved with basic communication and decency. If you value your time, money, and being treated with respect--go elsewhere And I'm happy you responded the way you did because you only proved my point more of how viewed your customers as optional and I wasn't valued as a customer after 2 years of loyalty and consistent tipping !

    I can't stop looking at my nails!…read more I've never done my nails outside before, so I was excited when my friend suggested doing our nails here. The spa is located on the second floor. Make sure to call to secure a spot, as they can easily get booked! The place is cash only, with tax if you Venmo/Zelle. The place was very chill, with the nail techs chatting with each other throughout my experience while they casually work their magic. I got the Gel Manicure ($40). They started off asking me to pick a color from a selection of books. Then the nail tech asked what shape I wanted, and began filing, shaping, and trimming my cuticles. Note to self and other nail newbies that nails need to grow out super long if you want square gel nails, to prevent the gel from touching your skin. The process was overall very relaxing, and fascinating for me to see the amount of care the lady puts into perfecting my nails. The process took around 1 hour 30 minutes, and even with my first time nails, the lady was chill and accommodated with patience, tips, and skill in making the gel manicure work on my short nails. Both my friend and I were very satisfied. My friend had the Regular Manicure ($15) and she noted how they added a finishing nail enamel spray, which other places don't do. Consider Arete for your next girls self care day!

    Everyone here is so kind! I was a bit unhappy with my nail…read moredesign and went back few days after to get it fixed and they were very nice about it! I found my go to place!!

    Went here 2x in one week: first time for the manicure and second time for the repair…read more Will I go back? NO The picture of both hands is what we all ideally want but.... Quality of service 1/5 Some ladies translate amongst and for each other and that's okay but what is not okay for them to miscommunicate pricing to the costumer I asked the same question 3x to the person who spoke English: 1. Are those colors the same price? 2. No extra charge? 3. No more money? And the English speaking one said NO and another lady who does not speak English does my manicure and uses cat eye, which ends up being $25 extra at the end I ask them why because I clarified 3x and they gossip in Chinese not knowing I understand it that it was me not willing to pay it so they waived it forcibly and rolled their eyes at me and didn't talk to me. I still tipped 25% and leave $40 gel manicure $10 hard gel extra charge The lady that actually does your nails and not translating the first time? Friendly and that's 1 star The second one named Mia: pretend friendly BUT manipulative "There is morning wrong with our hard gel, your nail is just hard. You should have paid for the $90 UV gel instead of the $50 hard gel" and does NOT pay attention to detail NOR take feedback well Skill 2/5 You can tell they are trained in batches because they all utilize the same technique and it's only good if they are good and it's really bad if it's bad My First Lady: the 2 stars are for her My Second Lady: Paying attention to detail is SO not her skill NOR is taking feedback My Second Lady glued the end extension crooked and refused to take it out so just kept on filing until the nail was too short and not even with others. All other nails are concave. The extension is convex and titled out to an angle way too the left. The top coat from Second Lady: uneven with big dips and bumps and I will NOT wanna go back a 3x to let her fix it. With gel manicures, the top coat is everything and they ruined it I still tipped Second Lady 25% because if you speak up, they scream at you, give you attitude, and the door is locked unless they unlock it remotely Vibe 0/5 They are hot and cold re customer service wise and the second half of the store is under remodeling with some loud thumping. The first half can be more tidy albeit no remodeling. Back hand washing station is overcrowded. Walkway to the bathroom pass the hand washing station is dark Pricing 0/5 If I was paying for quality service and skill, this would have been slightly above average pricing in Flushing but because you get bad service and no attention to detail, it's a 0 Three days later after my first visit, 2 of my nails broke albeit I had hard gel. So the extra $10 for THEIR hard gel won't make a difference versus regular At first they said repair was free 2x but they were going to just paint of over the broken nails with no extension or filing meaning you were gonna have 4 long almond and 1 short square/jagged nail on each hand. And the nail tech proceeded to do that until I told her to please take the gel off my broken infield nail and put an extension on it so all nails are even length and shape and she said $10 for each, so the repair was $20 and not free. That's okay, but to think they really were gonna let you leave the studio like that SMH Also the supposed top coat they give you on all your nails after you repair 2-bumpy and uneven--huge dips and throws all the money you used previously on all other fingers out the window. Gel depends 90% on top coat This is above average pricing in flushing with really sh*tty service and below average skill. Check out Arete Beauty instead! Cheaper (cat eye is an extra $10 not $25) and better skill set and service but make an appointment

    Came here for the first time and had such a great experience from getting a regular manicure…read more However, I wanted to wait until my second experience before writing a true experience. Regular manicures are only $10 but pedicures are double at $20. I believe gel manicures are $25 but I don't usually get them as they tend to dry out my nails unless it's a special occasion. On both occasions, I had a different technician working on my nails but they were both lovely and did a wonderful job on my nails. They took their time to file, buff, cut, paint, dry, and spray the enamel sprays on my nails. My nails lasted a good month or so so I'm very happy with the lasting power as well!

We came in on a monday afternoon, and they accepted walkins, at the time, as they were not many customers present. Although my manicure did take quite a while at about 2.5-3hrs, my nail tech did a very good job. Spent my time watching "Immortal Samsara." It was my first time getting acrylic nail extensions, so I did not know what to expect in the process. He reccomended this color for the cat eye polish, and I think it was a cute color! Service was nice, I guess the only thing I have to complain about was the smell inside, I believe it was from the acrylic power solution (the monomer solution). The entire process was $85 without tip, a bit pricey in my opinion ‍. May come back here for the location convinience with my friends again.
