    gel
    Sarah S.

    always a good job. very precise, lots of options, only appointment based unless it is empty, able to do lots of different designs. My go to is Oscar, but the other staff seem to do great jobs as well. i have done all manicures- regular, gel, & powder. all last a good amount of time. only 4 stars because i am not sure of the other services.

    I got a gel manicure. It cost around $43 because I Paid with credit card and they charge an extra transaction fee for using the credit card. The salon changed locations to 33-16 Broadway. I haven't been to the original location but this new one looks really clean organized and modern. My nail technician, Xiao, did a really good job. She was very thorough on cleaning up my cuticle area and took her time. She painted really well and barely had any flooding on my cuticles and outside of my nail bed. I am definitely going back and hopefully I'll be able to get her as my technician again.

    Oscar is wonderful! A bit pricey but worth it for the job he does. They have really cute manicure tables where you can dry your feet while getting your hands done.

    Walked home limping after going to the Steinway location. :( I went in for a pedicure and I had an obvious cut on my toe. They applied callus treatment to the cut part of toe and it had me choking back tears. Once I went to put my shoes on, I noticed a huge boil that had formed on the toe that they put the treatment on. The other lady who did my finger nails didn't start for a while because she was catching up with co-workers which didn't bother me initially but when she did start doing my nails, she rushed so intensely and was really impatient when motioning me to alternate hands/felt like she was jerking my hands around harshly. She rushed me so intensely that I didn't get to actually look at my nails until they were done and they turned out pretty sloppy (crooked nails, bubbles, cuticles looked untouched). I'm really sad because I don't spend money on my nails often and I could have definitely gone somewhere else to be treated more nicely and gotten nicer results :( felt like they were just trying to get me out the door.

    A bit disappointed. I requested for boba art on my ring finger and it did seem sloppy. Gel nails with 3 gel-x extension and regular pedi amounted to 150 dollars

    Love the vibes, decor is amazing in this place. Most importantly after 4 visits I found my nail spot. Workers handle nails with carr, they are fast but do an amazing job. My nails never chip or break. They make sure you are comfortable and happy while getting the service. Workers are focused on your nails. So many different colors to choose from. Love this place.

    Came back for my wedding set and Polly gave me a beautiful French gel x. Exact shape and shades that I wanted, she literally duplicated my reference photo and my nails looked perfect on my wedding day!

    Came across this place on Yelp and was thinking just give it a try. The staff are so friendly and the environment is clean. My pedi was messed up, they offer to fix it for free. I was very happy with the service. They have a vast variation of color to choose from and they will accommodate your need. I showed them a picture and they did it to almost identical. Work was done by XIAO. The best thing was the store was not over crowded!

    This is a review for their new Broadway location in Astoria* This new spot on Broadway has a super cool aesthetic and I'm leaving this review because my nail tech Xiao did a really amazing job on my gel manicure. I am so picky with shaping, cuticle removal, and polish -- Xiao managed to do all three literally perfectly! Thank you! This is by far the cleanest nail salon you will find in Astoria. They have proper sinks outside of the bathrooms so you can wash your hands before starting your nail session. Everyone is wearing a mask. I walked in and they were able to take me 20 minutes later, I just grabbed bubble tea next door and did a little shopping in the area. $42 for a gel manicure -- a super appropriate price for a high quality service at a nice salon.

    I've been coming here for about 3 months now and I never leave disappointed. The first time I came I had a apres gel x set and needed it fixed. They recommended I come back in another week and when I did I got a whole new set and fell in love with the nail tech. Now my natural nails have grown out and I get hard gel. Thank you for being so consistent with your service

    How I wanted my nails to look like
    Mafe A.

    I am a loyal customer of the Broadway location, and wanted to get my nails done there yesterday, but they weren't answering the phone, so my solution was to go to the Steinway location for the first time. I arrived and while I was waiting to be called to go get my pedicure, I was choosing the colors I wanted for my nails. It was a very difficult task because the nail polish wall was very disorganized. It was not organized by the different colors and tones like they do in the Broadway location, which makes it easy to choose and makes the salon look better. I was called to the pedi chair and the girl who was going to attend me was Xiao. She was very fast with her service, too fast for my liking. I knew I was paying for a regular pedicure, not a spa one, but she did all the cleaning, scrubbing, exfoliation, and massage in less than 10 minutes! She was very rough and quick that I was scared when she was cutting my cuticles because I thought she might cut me. She didn't speak to me, didn't ask if the water was at a good temperature (I had to tell her it was too hot), she didn't offer me the callus remover, nothing! At the Broadway location, even when I pay for the regular pedicure, they take their time, thoroughly rub and massage, pay attention to detail... I do feel like I'm being taken care of over there. We moved on to the manicure and it was the same! She was too rough and fast that I was scared again that she might cut me. This time I did have to tell her to slow down and be careful. I even had to fix myself the shape of one nail that she filed because it was not proportional to the others. I know they rotate the girls between the two locations. I saw familiar faces from the Broadway location. I recognized Lily, she attended my boyfriend and was very attentive and detailed with him as she had done before. The girl who helped me had never attended me before and I did not like her work. I'm posting pictures of how I wanted my nails to be and how they turned out. I paid for everything, all the extras for the french tips and different colors, but with how the service was and how my nails turned out, I'm disappointed.

    My first wax experience here was not good. The technician was not at all empathetic to the pain I…read morewas experiencing and she basically rushed through my first ever Brazilian wax. I returned two days later to wax my legs and get a clean up of the hair left by the first tech. I was fortunate to get Daeja who was thorough, and she touched each area as soon as it was waxed, which helped to soothe the immediate pain. I quickly changed my next appointment from the first tech to Daeja. If you don't like walking barefoot on sketchy floors, I suggest bringing a pair of slippers when getting a leg wax. Also, I bought several of the recommended products and broke out so severely, I had to see a doctor who prescribed anti inflammatory meds. Check the ingredients before buying the products or do a patch test to ensure it agrees with your skin type. I look forward to my next wax with Daeja because I know she will be thorough and she is customer-friendly. I'm rating my second experience in this survey, not my first visit. If I rated my first visit with the other tech, I would have to rate it one star.

I've tried other wax places outside of EWC and prefer EWC. The quality and consistency is the best. Let me know if you'd like a referral! :o)

(LOOL i removed the background so i do not expose my messy kitchen). i am certain the technician is skilled and amazing at her job, so it could just be how my nails are -- or there could be a bunch of other reasons why this happened. my lesson of the day is to always trust the reviews on yelp!
