    Recently found this place earlier this year however I'm a new mom and barely have any time between work and my now one year old however my birthday is coming up so decided to try this place! After 2-3 days of calling with no answer I almost gave up however on my 3rd day I gave it one more chance and I was able to get a same day appointment right after work. I literally love my nails. The shop is small and very cute. Feels like a girls night. I walked in a few minutes before my appointment and I was able to get fight started. I was offered wine or beer and also pizza. I opted for just the wine which was a nice gesture. I'll try my best to keep coming back here.. also interested in getting a pedicure

    I went to The Nail Bar after a friend had recommended that I try them out. It was easy to find and there was parking available on the street. The only thing that didn't make me give them 5 stars was my 1 hour waiting time. My appointment was scheduled for 2:30 pm with Cariesha and I wasn't in her chair until 3:30ish. Once I finally got in her chair, she started doing someone's eyelashes. So while sitting there, I found myself getting agitated, until the owner, Janet (who is so friendly and inviting by the way) offered me a slice of pizza. At first I declined, but then after sitting and realizing lashes take time applying them, I took her up on her slice. After I finished my slice, I was offered a complimentary glass of wine. You had the option to choose from red or white. I couldn't complain too much about the wait if I'm eating pizza and sipping wine. The staff was extremely nice and sweet. The Nail Bar makes you feel like you're hanging with your girls. The conversation is hilarious between the nail techs and customers. It's a very inviting place. I even had a problem with my card and Cariesha allowed for me to come back with cash to pay the rest of my balance. I even offered her a collateral so she could trust that I'd be coming back, but she declined. This place is cool in my book, only thing is work on time. And make sure you check in on Yelp! It'll get you 10% off your transaction!

    stay away !! terrible work i wasted $80 plus whatever tip i gave the tech ! my sister got her nails done wednesday, she doesnt do anything and her nails already broke of!! the nail tech cut her cuticle several times. wasted my time and had to pay tolls from long island to the bronx ! THESE DAMN NAILS ONLY LASTED 4 days, 2 broke off. Funny the nail technician said it would last 2-3weeks, unbelievable. Funny how this business has not offered to even fix her nails or what not which were done 4 days ago ! As I have messaged them on Facebook

    I've seen this place and finally decided to go there. Had to call to make an appointment, which required them to take my credit card information and automatically charge $20 upfront but then it would go toward the final bill and this would also create a client profile. Ok. Once I arrived the vibe and the Marilyn Monroe decor was welcoming to this small environment. The bar itself is where the nails are done. Stephanie was nail technician. I was taken care of on time, she was frIendly and they have TV playing which was entertaining. I felt comfortable and went in for full set tips, sns powder and a sort of French manicure no gems or anything crazy. When done there was NO hand massage like most places provided. Got the receipt and there was a charge of $62.00 with the details of the service: full set, colored gel, fairy dUst( which actually looks and feelss like glitter). Which I paid in cash along with a tip. I was kind of annoyed that the receipt didn't show the original $20 that was already deducted from my credit card. When I inquired I was told that the total was actually $82.00. Moving forward, made an a future appointment which senDs are reminder a few days before, not knowinG that this messaging system doesn't communicate messages. I responded to cancel appointment. Nothing. Today I get a reminder again for my appointment I reply again to cancel appointment then I get a replay to call the business directly. So then I called and explained that I tried to cancel previously, unfortunately Stephanie just said "since it's a still same day cancellation your card will be charged $20." Well then this place will not have me as a customer again. I'm sure they are great but this experience left me with a negative impression. There are too many nail salons nearby that Do great worK without having to spend that much moneY.

    Janet and Careisha are absolutely amazing! The atmosphere that this nail bar provides is super friendly and professional. No matter if Careisha isn't here, I know I'm in good hands with Janet. And same with Janet. My nails always look like the bomb!!!! Lol! There perfect each and every time, from shape right down to the color! Mel is amazing!Not only on a professional level but personal as well. Every nail tech should take pride in their work and maintain a report with their clients.Mel is the prime example of what a nail tech should be!!! Pristine and polished, all the time!!

    I just realized after coming here so many times that I owe them such a great review. I love this nail salon. I believe anyone you get your nails done with is the best. In my eyes this nail salon does not have a good versus bad nail techs. They have always serviced me very well. I've always enjoyed the ambiance in this place. They have always blew me away with the nail designs. I enjoyed the company of all the women that work here they are nice and very open to trying anything new. I have always noticed how organized the nail salon is kept, their nail polishes, the bathroom, the chairs, and etc. Everything is always kept very clean and very well up kept. They have excellent customer service skills. I've always left in love with the new set of nails I've got done from anyone of them. I feel this is one of the best nail salons in the Bronx. They are worth wait all the time. I hope to always come here and my visits to be the same with them.

    10 minutes after full set , horrible work

    Just went there today for the first time. After all the reviews I expected to love it but after paying $70 for a acrylic full set that was lifting just 10 minutes after I left I was so disappointed. My nails were lifting, the polish wasn't applied right, dust particles were all inside the gel and I ended up with a bumpy top coat. I had the nail tech Danny buff the initial bumps off but when he re applied it the bumps reappeared Total disappointment and waste of time

    Cariesha did these. Fuego

    Does The Nail Bar send a reminder text for appointments?

    You can opt into that if you like, and the appointment system will send a text at the time you book to confirm and a day prior as a reminder.

    It's this a man friendly spot?!!

    I came here yesterday afternoon out of desperation as I couldn't go to my normal place in Queens. I…read morehad a two week old builder gel set with almond shaped tips that needed refreshing, with three nails needing repair on my right hand. Positives: I was immediately assigned to a manicurist despite the crowded waiting area. He worked pretty quickly and I was finished in under an hour. Ultimately, my nails were acceptable. The shape was close to what I wanted but not exactly. The color compliments my skin tone, and my nails feel sturdy. Concerns: The filing and buffing of the nail was a bit too rough for me. It was so rough that he ended up chipping and cracking the builder gel base of 3 other nails, as well as damaging the existing tips. This all resulted in me needing a new set essentially. Somehow after all of that filing I still saw remnants of my red gel polish from my last set on the edges of the nails. I knew I had a little dry skin around my nails having returned from a vacation. But he was a bit aggressive with the cuticle trim. My hands were a bit sore immediately following the manicure and I was afraid for possible infection. But thankfully 12 hours later they've returned to normal. The builder gel application was too thick. So much so that when I put my hand under the light to cure it was burning more than normal. I had to frequently pause to give my fingers some relief. It also left me nervous about how the ultimate nail shape would be. Because he was so fast he wouldn't let me even look at colors to choose from, but rather pointed to a mannequin hand and said pick a design. I ended up with a neutral base and ombré holographic chrome on the tips. Lastly two customers were serviced next to me during my visit. I think the speed is a nice but it doesn't seem like much sanitation is happening in between customers. I didn't see the station being wiped down or tools cleaned. I'm used to seeing bottles of seabreeze or other antiseptic products at the station and none were in sight.

    Ugh this place is so amazing! I've been here on separate occasions. I'm not a regular customer but…read moreevery time I came to get my nails done, I was never disappointed. FYI - I always came during slow hours because I have more flexibility with my school schedule. Sylvia worked on my nails today and I was so impressed with my nail/hand transformation that I had to leave a review (my nails really were that bad. I'm currently in grad school and I have anxiety and a really bad nail biting habit). I'm a simple girly - I asked for a green chrome inspiration from a Pinterest photo and she showed me the options they had that best resembled the photos. I was offered a pedicure and a massage while sitting in my chair, and even if I declined, Sylvia gave me a short back and hand massage as my gel nails were finishing up. I think I would like to come back for a massage for sure, though. I truly recommend this place in the Bronx! For the service and quality, I'll give them all my money if it means being taken care of like this!

    Up until today, I've always had good experiences at this salon. I've been here several times,…read morethough I hadn't visited in a few months. Unfortunately, my usual technician (Andy) no longer works there, so I went with whoever was available. The gentleman who did my gel pedicure was fine overall, although he did insist on a color different from what I requested. The pedicure itself came out okay, so I didn't push the issue. I was then told to wait for someone to be available for my nail set, but the wait was very long, especially considering I had made an appointment. When the nail technician started, she asked if I had a design in mind. I showed her a photo, which she took a picture of, but the final result looked nothing like the reference. My nails were extremely thick and wide. When I politely asked if they could be made thinner, she became visibly annoyed and even laughed, saying no. I asked again for them to be narrower and for the corners to be rounded, and the response was the same--frustration and irritation just for asking. After that, there was also confusion and disagreement over the color, and at that point I realized I wasn't really being heard, so I stopped trying to speak up. When I went to pay, the owner asked how everything was. I explained that I wasn't satisfied, and he immediately sat me down and genuinely tried to fix the situation, which I truly appreciated. Unfortunately, the issues couldn't really be corrected without removing everything and starting over, which wasn't going to happen. In the end, I paid $151.68 for nails I truly dislike. I understand that nail services are expensive, but when there are so many salons to choose from, I'd rather spend my money somewhere I feel listened to and leave feeling confident and happy with the service. This experience was really disappointing, especially because I've had good visits here in the past.

Not only did Chase execute what I showed him to a tee, he also did so in record time since he works with BIAB It's now been 25 days and I have never had a full set last this long without damaging or breaking a whole nail since I am not very gentle with my hands. I was there at noon and the ambience was chill, and not very busy which I enjoyed a lot. *The only reason I'm giving four instead of five stars is because although I was on time for my 12pm sharp slot, he hadn't begun working until almost 1230 so even though be worked very fast, I ended up running behind on time for the day.

They're obviously trying to push people to getting the SNS powder nails which I used to love but stopped getting. I made a few appointments for UV gel manicures and didn't have any complaints for my first visit. The second, however, my nails began chilling within two days which is ridiculous. I was unable to get them fixed which ended up with much of the gel coming off and taking some of my nail layers with it. I returned on Wednesday (3/22) and asked for them to remove the gel and I decided to get a regular manicure to give my nails a break. The first red flag (aside from their UV gel chipping a day after getting it applied...) was that the tech didn't soak off my UV gel. All the other items I've gone to get a soak off and redo my gel manicure, they first filled a bit of the gel off to make it easier to soak off, put acetone-soaked cotton on each of my nails and cover them with foil, and then after some time, they'll remove the rest. This time, the tech legit, tried to file of all of the gel with the electric file. She went over my own nail multiple times and I had to tell her to be careful not to file my nail. The cotton and acetone was left on my nails for literal minutes. Not at all long enough to soak off properly. She put on the nail polish and you could tell that my nail surface was uneven (still is). I just took off the polish today (3/25) to redo it because it looked so shoddy and you can clearly see that there is still base coat gel left on my nails. My actual nail layers were filed unevenly and my cuticles look shite. Hopefully I can look back at this review to remember that some businesses are just not worth a second chance. Never again.
