Already pealing, was done 2 days ago

Went in for a mani/pedi felt rushed, job came out horrible. Don't know if the owner was away like the saying goes cats away nice will play and not do a good

This was the worst manicure I've ever gotten it was actually comical. If it wasn't the holidays, I probably would've put up a fight and not paid. I took off my own dip powder that was on my nails - this nail tech had me soaking my nails and gave me a paper towel to rub off the old color. She (didn't get her name - wish I did) ate a sandwich while I did so. She then clipped my nails, didn't file them, and started painting. There's paint all over the sides of nails and I need to go home and file them myself because of how sharp they are. Paid $30 for a gel manicure that took a total of 10 minutes. My 4 year old niece would've done a better job. I will NEVER return and you shouldn't either.

It too bad from afar

I came in as a walk-in a couple of days ago & asked for an acrylic fill. I did walk into this location with the understanding that they, for the most part, want/expect high turnover rates so they do not take a very long time to get the job done. However... my acrylic fill was done in less than 20 minutes. In fact, I watched the clock while avoiding watching this man (possibly John?) pass the drill bits over my nails at an alarming speed, and it was almost 15 minutes on the dot from the second I sat down to the second he put the top coat on. I have sensitive nails, which I mentioned to him, and I don't know if his way of helping was to not smooth the acrylic over or if this is just his way of doing nails. The drill bits ran over my skin which hurt really bad, and all the process after burned for a while. I wanted a light pink color and possibly design with a short square/squoval shape, and thin acrylic - and I really feel like that is not a crazy request based off the fact I've had this done a million times by other techs, even when it's my first time to them. But when he walked up to me as I looked at colors he seemed immediately in a rush and I chose this nude color in case there were mistakes made, and I'm glad I did. Sometimes you can just tell a place will rush the job so they can take the next person immediately. The next issue I had was his table was very dirty. I looked at other techs tables and they weren't nearly as dirty. So keep that in mind. Overall, I'm not overly happy with the work or the lack of care, but I do understand 100% now that this spot has technicians that will run through the process as fast as possible with little attention to detail to make room for more people. Good spot if you just want to get a basic set done and are pressed for time. If I come back I'll simply request someone else, or make an appointment and let them know what I'm looking to do in advance.

The nails I got done here

The workers were very nice and respectful depending on the nail tech you receive are the best nails you can get. My best set was the French almond with a pink bow on the ring finger it lasted a very long time and on the other sets they usually last four to five weeks. The last time I went I might've had trouble because the nail tech couldn't do the hibiscus on my ring finger right so I said I didn't like it and she got frustrated at me and took off the hibiscus then did the ring finger again. There could have been a better way to handle this because when she was taking off the polish you can sense the intensity in the room and aggression but in the end even though the nails didn't turn out exactly how they were supposed to they later lasted a long time. One of the other problems were that the square shape for the nails weren't as sharp as shown in the picture either.

This was when I first got them done on Tuesday.

I give them zero stars. If you want your nails done right do not visit this establishment. They do not treat ppl with priority they lack in their work ethics and you'll end up leaving with poor quality nails. Btw the star is so I can post this review. I do not recommend this establishment!

Nails for example of their shitty work

So much to say but lets start by saying they rush and do a shitty job than got the nerve to over charge and say its my. Fault why my nails look so bad no maam i have been a loyal customer for 10 yrs i said the reason why im mad is bc i watched 20 people walk in here and get sat with someone why cant anyone else do it she says they are here to make money not fix nails now your insulting me as if i wouldnt tip the person fixing my nails as well as i paid $77 for a fill and brows and three days later my nails look like im 3 weeks in i will gladly go someone where else now and have them fix my nails and im sure when i go somewhere else they will put me with any tech bc thats how a good business is ran i was embarrassed bc the owner made a whole show for the whole shop and gets loud this place has gotten so bad over the years

Sydney at top nail is the best showed her a picture of what I wanted and wala so so happy

Went to Sydney at top nail showed her a picture of what I wanted and wala couldnt of asked for a more perfect replica she is really talented

Even writing this review I'm not sure if I'll try this salon again or not. I cannot lie, I was 80% happy with the job done when I left the salon. It was a cute design that looked good but the more I started really looking I noticed the nails weren't filed even and sloppy around the edges. I'm new to the area so figured ok... it's bearable until I get more settled in but to have a nail chip like this 2 days later when I haven't done much of anything this weekend? The only reason I am still considering them Is I went to 2 other salons before this one & was turned away because I didn't have an appointment. This salon was willing to take me as a walk in on a Friday afternoon and got me in the chair fairly quickly.

I'm very picky when choosing a salon. Just recently I was traveling back to Brooklyn to see my nail…read moretech but the commute was a lot so I figured I'd try a place nearby. Initially, I wasn't going to give this place a chance due to the not so great reviews but figured I'd try them out. The first nail tech I had was Hao, but when he was unavailable he recommended I check out Sam. They're both good. Sam is ALWAYS up for a challenge & keeps me happy when I want my crazy designs. My husband also likes for her to do his gel manicures. The spa pedicures could def be longer, & at times I feel like the regular pedicures are rushed but overall it's a fun experience getting serviced here. You just have to choose your tech carefully, everyone's work is different. I haven't had any real complaints until this week. I called the store to ask their closing time & was told 8pm. On several occasions while there late, customers walk in & are still able to get a quick service done which is why I walked in. Two things that rubbed me the wrong way about this experience.. 1) The woman who answered the phone picked up & said "hello.. so I asked "is this Oc Nail? She replied yes. You should never, ever answer a business phone line this way; it's very unprofessional. 2) Upon arriving at the store a little after 7:30pm after a 30 min drive I encountered the woman who answered the phone & explained that I need a fill-in or one nail repaired. I was told they're closed, they took the last person @ 7:30pm. I asked if my nail could be repaired, again was told there's no one to repair it. I stressed my concerns to her about how she answered the phone & knowing what to say & what not to say because you don't know if you're speaking to an existing customer, a new customer or possibly someone looking to walk in for a quick service.. people are human, things often come up @ the last min, you have to expect any & all circumstances. I spoke to the owner & she also agreed with the lady so according to them I was in the wrong one & should never feel like that as a customer. My frustration stems from the lack of communication. Normally, another girl answers the phone. She always respectful, knows what to say & ask when customers call...her customer service is top notch. At any establishment, an owner is set to a high standard while ensuring their customers are satisfied. I'm usually satisfied with the service but wasn't satisfied with the way things were handled. Overall the business has a lot of potential, the owner's attention to detail is on point & they're work is good.. they just have to do better with communication.

My teen went in for what should have been a straightforward gel manicure with tips, and…read moreunfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing. Her nails were filed down far too much on the sides, the shaping was uneven, and her cuticles were left irritated and damaged. What concerned us most was the pricing. When she went to pay, she was initially told the total was $150. Then when questioned the m price suddenly changed to $80. We will not be returning. I strongly recommend confirming all prices in advance and getting a clear breakdown before any services are performed. Buyer beware.

Crystal nail and spa - Linda did an excellent job. It's a shame that poor quality nail polish ruined her beautiful work and made me lose my money.

I've been on the hunt for my go-to place in Middletown to get a pedicure and unfortunately this…read morewasn't it. It's not terrible but not great. The man who did my pedicure was thorough and would've been great if he didn't cut me on one of my toes. The nail polish also seemed old and goopy which affected its application and made it look a little goopy. The plus side is the place is nice and large and there was no wait time when I arrived. Will I be back? Probably not. The search continues!

The Good and the Bad. On Friday, December 19, 2025, I went in around noon and requested a regular…read morepedicure and manicure. The good: I didn't have to wait long. Linda, the manicurist who attended to me, went out of her way to do a good job, gently cleaning my cuticles, applying the polish with impeccable technique, and working carefully. I fell asleep while she massaged my feet and hands. Everything seemed perfect; I left a good tip and left happy. But it was only 24 hours before the bad stuff appeared and ruined my experience. Linda's excellent work was completely ruined by the low-quality polish they offer there. That evening, while traveling to Albany for dinner with my husband, I noticed one of my nails was getting damaged, but I didn't pay much attention to it. The next day, we attended a breakfast hosted by my husband's company, which was attended by his bosses, colleagues, and their spouses. During breakfast, I noticed that the polish on all my nails was starting to chip. I had to hide my fingers while I ate to hide my embarrassment. My recommendation: the business should invest in better quality nail polish. I, for one, would return just for Linda's excellent service, but I would bring my own polish.
