Top Best 10 Nail Salons in Staten Island, Richmond (part 3)

Marla Zabala Shout out to Brandon! Amazing work! I think I found my new permanent nail salon! It was seamless, they were able to sit me down as soon as I got to the salon (I made an appointment over the phone) and showed my Nail tech the nail design I wanted and he absolutely delivered! Thank you!

christina griffo I’ve given Get Nailed multiple chances for years but unfortunately, my recent experiences have been disappointing. During a visit a few weeks ago despite having an appointment, I waited 40 minutes before being seen, with no effort made to acknowledge or improve the delay. Additionally, when I wanted to tip my nail tech $10 using my gift card, the owners wife pressured me to tip more, expressing frustration that I didn’t use the full balance of my card—despite only receiving a regular acrylic manicure. When I returned for another visit, the owners wife was noticeably hostile toward me because of the previous gift card situation. When I asked her to repeat the price at checkout because I hadn’t heard her, she shoved the receipt in my face and said, “$35.” Then, when I handed her the payment, she snatched the money out of my hand. On top of the poor customer service, my most recent visit left me disappointed with the quality of my nails. I asked for a combination of Bubble Bath and Funny Bunny, but my nails came out noticeably streaky. For a salon that charges premium prices, I expected better attention to detail. These experiences made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Respect and professionalism go a long way in any business, and unfortunately, I did not receive that here.

Dan Lin Loved my visit to Getnailed ! The staff was super welcoming, and the atmosphere was so relaxing. My gel nails turned out perfect. I’m really impressed with the quality and will definitely be back!

Anira Diaz Absolutely love the way Emily did my Puerto Rican inspired nails! They were exactly what I wanted for my vacation to Puerto Rico! I got so many compliments on my nails! Emily you are the best! I am a regular customer and definitely recommend this place. I always leave happy!

Fengping You Amazing experience at this nail salon. The workers are all extremely friendly and their attention to detail is great. 3 weeks in, my nails still look flawless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for high quality and affordable nails!

Sarah Sebastiano if i could give no stars i would. i’ve been coming to blooming nails for quite a while now. I came in and got a spa pedicure (which felt very rushed and not relaxing at all) as well as a fill in on my acrylics. it has only been a week and 5 nails have already popped off and 2 of them damaged my natural nails ripping part of my natural nail off. The gel polish was also completely chipped on my toes. My thumb has absolutely no polish on it what so ever, the gel completely peeled off. The lady who did my nails completely rushed the whole process and did not allow my nails to dry long enough. it was a very poor job. I called and explained the situation to let them know that because of your worker my natural nail is now very much damaged and in pain because again i’m missing part of my natural nail. I asked for a refund or even a store credit they wouldn’t even give me that. So i spent over $100 just for my nails to come off within a week, have my natural nails damaged? no. They most definitely do not stand behind their work. Don’t even waste your time coming here.

Mel B Loved Annie . She was so good to recommend the nails that would best work for me and look cute , she is very knowledgeable about what is best for real nail underneath fake nails. I truly appreciate her help :)

Eli & Kerissa Tabona The best!! Leah is my gal, I wont let anyone else touch my nails. Always perfectly shaped and she cam do ANY and every design I find off pinterest !!! Really gives you the VIRAL nail look!!! Worth every single cent !

Julie L Came in for the first time for a gel pedicure on Friday. Besides the fact that nail tech was rough, my gel pedicure was OFF on most of my toe nails by Tuesday of next week. Paid $68 for not even a week of gel pedicure which usually lasts me 3 + weeks. Do not recommend this place.

Inga Had a great visit today and super happy with my nails. Everyone was very polite today. I guess they must have read those recent one star reviews and turned things around.

Jacklyn Peczek Gel started peeling after 1 week, this shouldn’t happen. They never applied a bottom coat, barely let it dry and didn’t allow me to wash my hands before painting. This now caused fungus to grow under the acrylic power. Very annoying and won’t be wasting my money and time here again. Now I have to pay someone to fix my nails, ridiculous. (Picture is 2.5 weeks after service, these usually last me 3 weeks tops and still look perfect) Go to Hugenot nails instead!!!!

Chrissy Wanted to love this place more but the best part as the neck rub, my nails are meh. I was a walk in, Theresa started my nailed and stopped 3 times to make phone calls. Didnt even say anything she just got up the first time outside the other 2 times at the counter. There were more times after she stopped but I can understand when phones ringing or ppl need to pay. Not even done shaping my nails I get what seems like a new person swaps. Which she buffed and polished my nails, wanted a design on my ring finger she did ok. She was a bit rougher on the nails, but everyones starts somewhere. Than paying, I didnt have cash I went to tip on card. I was gonna give the massager 10 and her 5. I usually tip 5 for nails and Im told paying I have to switch that. I said whatever give them both 10. Massager did a for my neck, but I know I wont be coming back. Place is out of date, sitting there looking at a burnt on the bottom tv, the atmosphere is very uncomfortable. A lot of stuffs broken around the shop. Not once did anyone try to make a conversation or any type of friendliness here. So between my streaky nails, ambiance, over all experience Id say pass on this place.

Nawal Elsibay Ive been getting pedicures at Coco nails for over a year now, and I enjoy my experience here everytime. The women are all so accommodating and make sure youre taken care of. My favorite is Veronica. She is very good at what she does and is very professional. She also does excellent leg and feet massages during the pedicure and makes sure your experience at the salon is a good one. Thank you Veronica! ❤️

Nicold Delorenzo I went in for a regular manicure which was listed for $15. They charged me for taking off gel which was another $10. This was not listed or told to me until I was already paying. I waited for 40 minutes and there was only 4 other customers. The manicure was rushed and sloppy. Paint all over the side of my nails. The lady who did my nails then demanded a tip as my nails were drying. In total I was charged $30 for a horrible manicure. Horrible experience!

Danielle Geandomenico I stopped going here years ago due to bad experiences. Have not missed the place at all. Theyre more expensive for exact same services than most other nail salons- however I went back just to see Blanca for a pedicure because she gives the best leg and foot massage Ive ever had with a pedicure- no one compares. I had my pedicure with her and the massage amazing- the other workers there who do nails only- horrible. Rude as can be. While I waited for someone to finish who could do my nails another employee who could have greeted me or done my nails was doing her nails- for over an hour. Playing with the polishes. Multiple employees were sleeping with their heads down at their work stations the entire time I was there to get my nails done. There was a massage guy who didnt move from his seat the entire time or look up from his phone. Other workers who sat at their desk and stared at phone entire time. It was uncomfortable- as other reviewers have mentioned... this is not the way to operate a business. People could have been working- stocking- cleaning- asking clients if theyd like a water or a massage etc- anything. I was ignored. Multiple times. When I finally got a person who could do my nails she was rude. Anything I asked she was angry and rude. I asked her to help me find a dip color like Funny Bunny and showed her a picture of the color on nails- she was nasty and threw the colors at me and kept repeating these are the only colors we have... my thought here was you are the professional who does dip color day in and day out- so show me what you know is a soft white color- she didnt want to help she wanted me to pick a color even though I couldnt find a soft white at all or a white in general. I was frustrated. I looked at the employee sitting next to her and showed her the picture and said do you know of a soft white? She totally blew me off and nodded her head as if to tell me dont talk to me! She said No! You ask her she will help you those are the colors! Incredibly rude. And my thought was yes Id love for her to help me- but she doesnt want to. After we picked a color she was throwing my hands around and yanking them as Ive noticed the ones with attitude do- which honestly makes me so angry. Im paying you. Im paying you for a service. Not to take out your frustrations on me and be nasty. Im literally paying 50.00 (overpaying by 10.00 bc Coco nails over charges for everything compared to other salons) for you to do a simple dip and youre being short and nasty and rude. Anything I asked like can they be a little shorter was met with excuses and basically being told no. Its insane and such a terrible experience- one of many reasons I stopped going years ago and found other places. Mind you- I was only back because I just had a baby and really was craving an amazing pedicure massage from Blanca. So long story now- I will never ever go back for nails. I will see Blanca only for massage. I wanted to make sure hopefully the owner Theresa sees this and changes how she is managing this location and her staff- bc at this rate- wow. She wasnt there and was at a second location. Your employees are sitting around with their heads down, scrolling their phones, sleeping at their station, ignoring customers and on top of it all being down right rude. There is nothing about that experience that would make a person want to return for a service. Terrible. The place I go regularly now is Holly Nail by Veterans and wow they are so friendly and nice and sweet and less money.

Kennex Tang Salon under new management. Price is reasonable and service is excellent. I had a relaxing time while I was doing pedi and mani. The place is clean and welcoming. I had the gel polish and it looks so good. The staff took the time and effort to make sure my nails came out great. Really appreciate!

Susan Vuono Love this place!!! I get my pedicures and powder manicure done all the time.

MELISSA RIVERA Great pedicure. Friendly staff. Dana was sweet. Even gave me some half socks for my feet. I will go back

danielle wright i’ve been going there forever and never had a problem they have new people there and i was going to walk out and the one lady was harping on me to stay sit down and to relax and that they all knew what they were doing. I spent a total of 2 hours there and my nails came out horrible. I asked them to fix it and “they did” meanwhile they are thick uneven and have dents in them. i got powder dip i am very unhappy with this and will not be going back. The lady also cut 2 of my fingers with the drill and did not seem to care that i was bleeding

s baftjari Expensive but price doesnt match service. I got a gel manicure which got destroyed in less than a week.

Christina Cullen I’ve been going to Miya Nail Spa for almost three years now, and I’ve never been disappointed! I always get UV gel manicures, and my nails are stronger than ever. The Milk and Honey Pedicure is amazing—it includes a honey scrub, clay therapy, callus remover, and a super relaxing 10-minute massage. My feet always feel so smooth and refreshed afterward! The technicians are fantastic and really take their time to make sure everything is perfect. I always leave happy. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Helene Turk Ive been going here for powders and pedicures and they always do such a great job. Ladies are nice, the place is clean and sanitary, my nails look great and hold up well, and theres a small parking lot in the back. Not much else I can ask for.

keisha willis Love this place have been coming here since they opened . Karen is my go to person but sometimes life is hectic and I can’t get her or Wait for her but They all good .

Celina 好的 THE GOOD: reward system, walk-ins, convenient area and parking… 坏的 THE BAD: Careless, Lack of education, inappropriate use of E-File: I post pictures of ring of fires (lines on my natural nail bed) after coming multiple times to get a fill in. I have come to learn that this is inappropriate way of using the electric files (E-files). The lines on my natural nails is an example of lack of natural nail care and lack of education.(我天然指甲上的线条是缺乏天然指甲护理和缺乏教育的一个例子) I also noticed they do not care for lifts on acrylic enhancements. They will apply new product on top of lifts which is a health concern as bacteria can breed in the lifts. I post this to spread knowledge so that we can speak up and hopefully improve the quality of care of our nails. Continue education is necessary. I post pictures of educational videos(请观看教育视频). I see them practicing on themselves on their free time, however there’s more effective ways to improve the quality of care of the clients nails. Unfortunately when a business is driven by money caring for the client is not priority and it becomes evident over time. Unless things change, I’m taking a break from this place as my nails take time to heal. (我正在从这个地方休息一下)

Stephanie E I just moved to SI so I was looking for a regular nail spot. After seeing all the reviews, I came in and was overall, not disappointed. So theres that. Pros: clean, nice atmosphere, great massage chairs, parking in back, great gel color selection, overall good work with uv gel set and gel manicure. Ask for Suki for your pedicure! Cons: Ive booked appointments for 12:30pm and 3:00pm on two Saturdays and come early or on time and still had to wait about 20 minutes after arriving to even be seated at a station. The last time two different people did my hands alone. I shouldve remembered the girl that did my nails the first time cause she was amazing. A spot on my thumb was not polished but its not the end of the world. My nails arent filed to my liking (square) but, now I know who not to ask for. This is my second visit, and I do not plan on staying here for Services. I noticed other customers were offered a discount card for $5 off at the fifth visit. I waited to see if I would be offered one but nope, I had to ask after paying. Its not even the $5 its the thought of customer service/engagement.

Eyewear Addict They did a cute holiday design for me. Shop always looks pretty clean too. Would go back again.

Kree Terrible and rushed work. Extremely overpriced. Different prices everytime you go. Do not go there and waste your time.

Rose Of Sharon Judy and "Ewa"?? Sorry, idk how to write the second persons name But, they were very nice and welcoming. I had the organic lemon spa pedicure, which came with a 10-minute massage , my legs and feet were nice and soft after that. My manicure came out nice, and so did my brows. We chatted the whole time I was there, and they were very helpful in helping me choose colors . I had no issues and enjoyed the service provided.

Lin Lin Very poor job when it comes to SNS. Won’t last a full week. Not only that but they don’t really clean your nails (they just file it very thin) and your nails comes out super thick. Very poor job never again!

Felicita Romero Eva is quick and talented. The staff is super sweet and kind. Prices are reasonable

A R I was recommended to go to Hana nails by a good friend of mine who regularly goes to joy. Upon my arrival to the salon I was seated 20 mins after my appointment time with a different woman who wasnt joy, They didn’t ask me or tell me if this was ok, they just sat me down with her and I’m thinking that this is Joy. I don’t know the woman’s name who did my nails but all I know is I will never return it was the worst gel manicure I’ve ever gotten in my life and I’ve been doing my nails for about eight years. Not only was she rude she kept answering her phone every five minutes she filed down my nails so much that my cuticles were raw, and what normally takes me two hours took 1. I left that Salon with crooked nails. It was so bad to the point where I did an about face when I left & asked them to redo these because I couldn’t leave the salon with the way my nails looked, They sent me back with the same girl who messed up my nails and she made them even more crooked than the first time. They charged me $85 and all they could tell me was they were sorry, they even called my cellphone to apologize again. But they still kept my money!! Now a week later my nail broke if I’m paying $85 for my nails they should last more than a week. I will never return to this establishment and I will never recommend this place to anybody, everybody should avoid this place by all means.

Aneta Bernard They did not even touch my cuticles. I had to do them at home myself. The layer of a nail polish was so thick it chipped off 2 days after the service. Today, 2 days before Christmas instead of cooking and packing presents I have to redo my nails.

Seclusive Corn I’ve been going to Hannah Nails for about 6 months and have nothing but good things to say about them. Lucy does an amazing pedicure and Ci-Ci is amazing as well!!

zihao lin I take my girlfriend here for a manicure, the owner is very nice and the staff are excellent

Kathy Badillo New Owner Michelle! I came back after 15 years, very spa like feel. Everything is new. Lynn and Cici, do great nails! Judy too!

Haydee Correa I used to go here for bikini waxes. One day I noticed a couple of the Asian men who work there standing inside the store. They disappeared after I asked for a wax. As I was looking up at the false ceiling, waiting to get my wax done, I saw one of the ceiling tiles diagonally across from where I was lying down being removed and one of the men I had previously seen outside of the store poked his head through the ceiling in an attempt to catch a glance of my lady parts! DISGUSTING! When I noticed him, I quickly got up and told the woman who was supposed to do my wax. She didnt understand or acted like she didnt. When the man saw I had noticed him, he quickly stuck his head back up into the ceiling and replaced the tile. Luckily, the lady had not started yet. I told her what I had observed. She acted like she didnt understand English. I left. I shouldve called the police. God knows how many times that peeping Tom has done that to unsuspecting female customers! DO NOT GO THERE FOR WAXES!!!

Christina Korfanta This has to be the worst nail salon Ive ever had the misfortune to encounter.... its filthy. None of the sterilizers are on. They keep their obviously unsterile tools in a dirty plasticplastic basket ..... get.worse..... they dont know what they are doing ... its like a fungus one stoo shop..... never go here!have no idto do pedicures.... no massage... shitty paint job. U

Jamie Lopez Ask for Anne! Shes the best! She is always on point! And they go the extra mile on the pedi even on the regular pedis on the extra $10.00 pedi OMGosh your feet look brand new, and they have massage chairs. You go anywhere else they dont massage your feet/legs just slap in some lotions on your feet and thats it. At AAA nails they go the extra mile on pedi, and your nails!

Sarah Perez 50 dollars for a gel manicure/pedicure and they literally spend no time doing anything. When it comes to scrubbing your foot they use hand soap and tell you if you want more to pay another 25 for a spa pedicure or 5 for callus remover even if you dont have calluses and just wanted a decent scrub. Hands down worst salon Ive ever been to.

Kaylin Cust I’m here today and I have been refused service by the owner or whoever he was because I just LOOKED at the shape of my nails, he told me I’m a “problem” because I wanted him to do my nails properly. I will never come here again and I recommend anyone to spend your money elsewhere. Very rude and I am appalled.

Deena A I’m sorry but the workers here genuinely hate their lives. They missed the cuticles completely and they gave us a rainbow of layers with the colors. The nail polish seemed old and they also filed the nails even shorter than they were. I had damaged nails which is why they are so short but she filed them to the nubs. The colors were streaking and dragging yet they continued to layer them on. I will genuinely never go back. The lady that did the white coat especially hated her life because she didn’t even bother filing the nails in the pedicure. She genuinely touched the toe, looked at it, and moved on. I would recommend going somewhere else if you are not doing gel because they obviously don’t care about the regular polish.

layla gallardo I went to remove some tips and get a regular manicure. I was so mad when the nail tech pulled out a METRO CARD to remove the tips !!! SO GHETTO ! i could have done that at home. But never going back after this experience, it literally blew my mind.

kayla They always give the best acrylic sets love all of them!

Kristina Weiss Do NOT go here! Today was an absolutely horrible experience. When I was getting my gel manicure, the corner of my nails were filed so sharp that it could cut someone, which she did. Then, the base coat was put on so sloppily that it was sticking to the skin on my finger underneath most of my nails. I asked her if she could remove it, but she said that it will wash off in the sink and left globs of base coat under my nails. Then, as I was getting my color, she took off the polish multiple times because she kept messing up. Since she kept redoing them, I ended up being there almost 2 hours. She put 3 layers of base coat on them which I thought was really strange, but I just wanted to get home to my family who’s in from out of town for my shower. I quickly paid and went out to my car. Once I looked at my nails in the parking lot, I was absolutely shocked that this woman would let me walk out of the salon with these nails, knowing it is my bridal shower tomorrow. I went back inside and showed them my nails and immediately 3 technicians started to get very defensive and tell me that if I want a refund, I need to sit another 20 minutes to take off the polish, which I had no time to do. One technician started to get loud with me about how they should be paid for their time, which I agree 100%, which is why I wasn’t asking for my tip back. I ended up with a botched manicure and a free manicure for the future, which I absolutely never intend to use. Now I have to go get my nails done again tomorrow somewhere else.

Irene Perdikologos The prices were reasonable, but the tools were extremely dirty. I gave them a second chance, returning to ask the staff to clean their tools. However, the man I spoke to just laughed and continued without addressing the issue. When I pointed out that all the tools were filthy, he simply ignored me. Definitely not a place I’d recommend or ever go back.

Nicole Link Pedicure was great. The place is very clean However, I got UV gel fill ins yesterday and she Didn’t go to the cuticle so my nails already look grown out I’ll be lucky if I even get two weeks out of this. Which is very disappointing for $60 just for my fingernails

Sunnie Hn Went to this Salon for a Brazilian wax, which includes all genital area! (mentioned on google too), picture attached. I also request for half upper legs...as mentioned on their website, pics attached, I should have been charged $90.00. However, once I went to pay. I was told that the butt area was not included in the Brazilian wax and my hair was too much (loudly infront of all other clients; which it wasnt) so they charged me more! Making my total $150.00 plus tip. I tried to reason with them but the lady incharge wasnt bothered when i asked her what in paying another $60.00 for? Do not recommend at all...

Mona Awad I finally gave in to the nail craze after a 15 year ( at the very least) hiatus. This salon is a 3 minute walk from home so I said hey, Why not? Well. I went on a Sunday an hour before closing after debating it for hours. I dealt with Lily, but I was greeted warmly by all. Lily was quick, precise, and attentive to my requests. I showed her a picture and she gave me exactly that. I did a classic coffin nail set and I’m OBSESSED! One day later I broke a nail (not what you’re thinking- it was admittedly my fault completely) I walked right over for the repair. She noticed a few self inflicted blemishes (cutting salad and accidentally cutting the corners of my nails with the knife) and filed them down and repainted them. When it came time to pay she laughed at me and said no charge. But if you break one more we charge next time lol. It’s the little things, ya know? I was super Pleased with the service and warmth. 10 out of 10. Worth every penny
