Nail Salons 19 Reviews in Bronx, NY (Part 2)

Frederick diaz My sister in law just came back from there and she is PISSED. Apparently they dont do designs or ombre They gave her a basic blue color and even though its acrylic. Her nails came out lopsided and it is noticeable. She has decided to go to another place later today to get them redone. I dont know where that four-star rating is at but please people pick better.

Sumia Mow This is the type of shaping and work they do.

Maleni Kae Never coming back to this nail salon again. This place is overpriced for the work that I have gotten. My nails are chipping a week later. They are nice people but its not worth the money that they charge. This was the first time I was charged $5 to remove gel off of my toes in the regular pedicure. Overall I paid $90. I have had better quality work done for $75 or less.

Roz Santi It is 5 stars depending on who you go to! I’ve had bad experiences with my first pedicure and manicure but Andy was very helpful and assured I was satisfied when I left. Diane is great! You won’t catch me with anyone else but her and I am always satisfied with her because she is a perfectionist and takes her time with you. Thank you for your service. I was close to not coming back TWICE and if it weren’t for Andy and Diane

Malikah Mahone I’ve been here about three times and will continue going and requesting Kylie. She’s the best with nail designs and trendy artwork. They work pretty quickly and I haven’t had any complaints as of yet. Another bonuses at the retention is really good. I typically will have a set last for about a month.

Ursula Razo I’ve done my nails many times and since they post pictures with artists names on instagram I know who to go to….. they do not do this for pedicures so i’ve had two bad experiences. This is the second bad one. Todays nail guy was clearly new, he spoke no English, people kept coming to explain things to him, pedi took over an hour, all toes are different shapes, and the total cost for pedicure with extensions was $90.

Kyra Briggs I just got my nails done here. Steven did a poor job — advice to everyone DO NOT go to him. I asked for a dip powder with a simple design. It was a complete rip off and he could not even communicate with me to check in to see if I was liking my nails and as far as I’m concerned gave me a bit of an attitude. He was mostly on his phone watching a video the entire time. At the end of my service he didn’t even apply lotion to my hands. I usually tip but this was the absolute worst service ever so I walked out without tipping. People including myself need to stop pouring money into these Asian owned salons. They’re only about money and rushing to get to the next customer. Never coming back here again.

Nini Var First impression was kind of off putting. The man Stephen/Steven took off the hard gel I previously had and was extremely rough. But Stephanie did my set and was kind, gentle and helpful. I did a simple color so it wasn’t anything amazing. It could be a bit better but I needed my nails done ASAP. I would go back to see if I’d like to commit to this location. Overall, their service is quick and fairly priced compare to what I usually pay but the service will be trash. But I guess you get what you paid for

Lany It was my first time going over here , I did my nails with a man name Tim . He ate down I wish I would spoke up and asked for a lil more French . But overall I loved it . As of rn there two weeks grown out and the polish is still on and my nails haven’t chipped not even from the sides . ( I did hard gel) going again this week for a new set let’s see how he does

Káe Jae Hey there! If youre in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by Happy Nails and Spa. The nail tech Cindy is amazing - shes friendly, courteous, accommodating, knowledgeable, and bold. Check out more of Cindys awesome work on Instagram! @cindyinails_

Katherine Blumenberg They weren’t busy and allowed for walk-ins! It was my first time going, and Vincent was very efficient and talked just enough to be friendly. Loved watching him work! He did a great job with my fills.

Crystal Smith Lilly, who sits in the first booth upon entering, is EXCELLENT! My first-time at this establishment and they took me last minute in a pinch. Her work is very neat and swift. She looked at the photo I showed maybe twice briefly and was able to emulate on point. Their gel and powder color selection is vibrant and vast. Ill be back in 2 weeks for sure!

Sarahie Ocando Terrible service, rude workers. The main lady is nasty and knows Spanish beware! Expensive for the quality and atmosphere. Dirty place, outdated and poor work. I went in for powder deep gel for $55 not even in my spot in Manhattan charges this. They didn’t put the right color so added regular gel polish into to match my toes, look at this damn photo smh I have bubbles on my fingers!!!! Smh !!! Do not waste your money or time !

Nina Ythier Best nail salon in the bronx, Ive been a customer for years! Very clean, professional and polite. Lily does quality work, you never have to worry about your nail polish chipping or your nails breaking. Theyre very good at duplicating any nail design you show them and request. Happy nails also schedules appointments at your request.

Ana Mor First off I want to start by saying how excited I was to do my nails with Jenny I had booked a month ago. I arrived 30 minutes earlier. I showed her my inspiration nails picture(500 dollars) she requires a deposit of $50 so I decided that I wasn’t going to spend $500 dollars on my nails so I told her that I was willing to pay $250. So for $250 you get 4 rhinestone nails but not full , she left acrylic residue on my nails she was bothered that I had dry cuticles and she didn’t even bother to check if my nails were perfect because I have a hair in one of them. I do understand that you get what you pay for but I honestly was expecting a better service not this! even if it was simple she should have made sure that the nails were perfect and that I was satisfied but I wasn’t! I guess if you are a celebrity or somebody from the media you’re going to get pampered and an excellent service but since I’m a regular person she doesn’t care and I’m not a complicated person I’m always open to suggestions .. i’ll leave some pictures here...

Brunilda Vargas Jenny Spa has great customer service the lady that took care of me Aleja was sweet heart appart that she gave me a great massage and did a great job with my nails. I will be seen her in a few weeks for my filling. Im very happy with my first visit at Jennys..

F P So I only go here because of Peter ! He’s done my nails for years since before they moved there. He’s as close as you’re going to get, the price did get a lil hectic. Also just because Cardi B goes there doesn’t mean anything... it also has nothing to do with any of us the regulars public. She has the money and so she gets the proper treatment. Jenny is not friendly and she’s overpriced because now she’s thinks she’s big. Everyone is entitled to believe and act how they want, now it’s up to you to continue making her money. I personally never cared to get my nails done by her... Peter always got me. He’s entertaining, relatable and respectful. Most of all gets the job done! Those 3 stars are for him

Samantha Roe This place is the Best! My aunt has been coming here religiously for 10+years and I’ve been coming here for 5years and I already moved to Long Island and I still go here. They never disappoint every time I go. I highly recommend Lam she’s one of the best and I only go to her! This are just the 2 of the examples of her creations she recently just did with my nails.

Lucy Nunez Nancy is excellent! My nails always look beautiful and last a month without any chips or breaking of the nails! Best place in Morris Park hands down!

Samantha Crespo Quite small but they make up for it in skill. For the longest time, I have looked for a decent spot close to home that does ombŕe nail design and I am most thankful for the dedication time and effort these ladies put into my nails. I so love it and cant wait to do more ombŕe nail designs or other designs here too! So far so good! On one teeny tiny side note its all cash only for their services!

Sabrina Foglia From late June 2018: Photos speak for themselves. Gave up trying to tell her how to shape them. I wanted almond initially and when she couldn’t do that (she was filing on one side way more than the other And the point was all the way on the edge of the nail. Not centered what so ever.) i ended up just telling her to round it out and that was even messed up too. I had to go home and file it myself into something barely acceptable. I have provided the “before and after” photo after having to file myself. Never going again.

Kay Rosario Worst experience of my life, they don’t even deserve 1 star but I had to put it so I can be able to write this review. Really bad attitude. This was my “final product” and as ya can see is horrible!!! The shape is terrible, the nails are bulky, she didn’t even try to clean them up or make them look nice. On top of all that she got mad because I told her to stop I rather go somewhere else. They started laughing in my face and talking about the nails in their language while continuously laughing. Since Tiffany and Jennifer left this place isn’t worth coming to. You being in business 2 decades doesn’t guarantee a good service. Hire better employees and then you can brag.

Belizean Queen Tiffany and her sisters Jennifer, Angela is always on top/ on point with whatever designs you ask for.

Florence Anthony Have been going to ProMagni prior to the Pandemic & have no plans to leave. The place is beautiful & the technicians are excellent. I have had my nails done by Vanna & Bo. Bo is my guy! The designs he puts on my nails is beautiful. I wouldn’t trade him for the world, but if he’s not available give me Vanna. You get your money’s worth at ProMagni

Antoine Farrar I dont get a manicure often and when I went to this place they pressured me to get a gel manicure instead of a regular manicure. When I went back they took the gel nail polish off by sanding it off with the electric file. They kept filing and filing until my nail was paper thin. My nails have been breaking, chipping and painful ever since. I didnt know they were supposed to wrap them with acetone to get the gel off. I later found out that low level salons arent patient enough to wait for the gel to soak off so they file it off. I went back and brought this all to their attention. The man in front dismissed me by saying "your nails will grow back". SMH

Jadii I wish I could give this place zero stars. My appointment was scheduled for 9:45 AM because I prefer long nails; the owner told me to come at 9:00 am. I woke up exceptionally early to ensure I wouldn’t waste anyone’s time or money since I believe time management is crucial. I found it still closed when I arrived at the shop at 8:50 am. I waited patiently until 9:15, then texted the owner for an update. To my dismay, they dared to respond that they had forgotten about my appointment and suggested I come back. After all the effort I put into being on time, it was incredibly frustrating to feel dismissed. I had already endured the cold while waiting outside, and now I was expected to return for service from someone who does not value their customers or their time. I also preferred acrylic for my nails, but the shop only uses builder gel. I lost my business and will not recommend any of my friends to come here

Lily R.H I’ve been coming to this place for over a year and they have only messed up my nails 1 time by a lady who no longer works there! They’ve hand painted designs on my nails many times and do such a good job!! Ton is the best in there and they have all definitely improved in their skills. I’ve suggested to my sister to get her nails done there and now it’s the only place she goes to

Tyresha Manning The people here are SOOOOO amazing!!! Ive been coming to this salon for the last 3 years. Professional Respectful hard honest working people. Bish is a woman that KNOWS her craft! Do you HEAR ME! And if you want your feet done honey you better stop playing and see my girl Amy!!! These woman are Awsome! Dont get it twisted Ton dont cone to play either. My girl will slay them nails real nice too! I love these people go check them out tell them Ty sent you

Lynn Leite Min is my girl, she gets my nails right every time. Today I came in straight from work just hoping someone was available. Thankful she was just wrapping up another guest & took me. I was the last guest in the salon & this girl still took her time giving me a French set ❤️. Come see her !

Aurora_V it was my first going there. my sister recommended it. the wait wasn’t that long considering the fact that we walked in with no appointment but i will say that because there’s only 4 people (could be more but not sure) that work there you may have to wait a bit. i got an acrylic powder set and regular pedicure. overall i don’t have any major complaints about their service other than the fact that you have to pay an extra $10 for the nail shape. i wanted almond but i stuck with the square because i already took out my money. also they are cash only (according to my sister).

Milvis J. Urena Amazing! It was my first time. My wife booked an appointment and the rest is history. Great atmosphere, but most important, stellar work. I got a manicure for my rough hands and they came out brand new. I also got a pedicure while on a massaging chair and a foot massage. I thank the establishment for an amazing experience and Maria for executing it perfectly.

Allison Rodriguez My first time at Nail Factory and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The space is beautiful and the staff is amazing. I’ve been coming to Stephanie for years prior and she’s such a great artist and add here. Plus the location is perfect and close to home. I was not excited to call to make an appointment but that touch was honestly so worth it, I got to speak with the owner and she was absolutely the sweetest. You know she cares a lot about her business. You will not be disappointed coming here! I will be back every 3 weeks!

gabby forte discusting. catorlina gave me the worst attitude. too much to say on a review but i’ve been a client about 4 times and never had this problem. told her what i wanted, did the complete opposite, and the manager later told me they couldn’t do medium length in sns, when that should’ve been told to be beforehand because i would’ve never had this problem, they still charged me for “‘active nails” when these are clearly short. nail tech was eating food, on the phone, and even put her hand to my face to wait 2 times. i told her specifically what i wanted in the beginning and like i said, it couldn’t be done and that should’ve been told to me in the beginning. didn’t even ask if the length was okay or what i wanted, just did what she wanted. also spoke bad about me in spanish thinking i wouldn’t understand but i clearly did. overpriced and not worth it!

Yaya T It took me a while to find a great quality nail salon with APPOINTMENT service only which is fantastic for me!! The services that Carolina provided (gel manicure and acrylic nails) and Maria (gel pedicure) exceeded my expectations. Not only did they work with passion and attention to details, they made sure that i was comfortable and listened to my needs. This is a quality nail salon - not a “nail salon sweat shop” like many of the nail salons that i have encountered in the Bronx. Ladies, make sure to visit Nail Factory Express. Excellent quality nail experts that care and to me, that means a whole lot!

Edith WIlliams This place is amazing. Very clean and professional staff. Kat has skills like no other gives you great suggestions on your nails and advice on how to maintain them. This shop isn’t like other shops that rush and are money hungry. Keep up the good work Kat many blessings.

Christina Halikias I had an amazing experience at Pinetree nails! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure I felt comfortable the entire time. The salon is clean and beautifully maintained, and they take hygiene very seriously. My nail technician Linda was very skilled and paid attention to every detail. She took her time to make sure my nails were perfect, and the end result was stunning! The polish selection is fantastic, and they offer a variety of designs and treatments. I am absolutely in love with my nails.I will definitely be back!

Santiago Christina “Tina” Just an update that this is my new place and Ive been going for the last 4 months and they dont disappoint. This was my first time going here a friend recommended this place to me and I am so glad I went. My nails were in bad shape. Linda & Maria ( I believe) was amazing. Maria cut, filed and put my nails to soak with care. Linda took care of my real nails then added the tips with the UV gel. She took her time and gave me exactly what I wanted. I wanted simple because it was a new place but definitely will be going here from now on. Next time I am 100% getting one of these amazing designs. From my understanding you bring in a picture and she does the exact design. Definitley excited about that.

NuNu7 Pinetree nails is the best…… great prices, excellent work, clean environment and the ladies are amazing!!!! Thanks Linda!!!

AM Loved my experience with nail tech Linda. She always does such a beautiful job with UV gel. Her talent for nail art is impressive and she wows me every time! Im never disappointed. I regularly get great pedicures there from other technicians. All staff are courteous, pleasant and personable. Having a place like this so close to home is such a treat. I highly recommend Pinetree Nail Salon.

Melody Was recommended by a friend to come here and try their wax service. I enjoy getting my arms waxed, it doesn’t hurt at all and it’s painless. However, I got a Brazilian wax the first time and although I was awkward the staff was friendly. It didn’t feel rushed which I genuinely appreciated. The second time was surprising because although I did choose a different staff member, I didn’t expect the wax to be applied kinda hot. Im sad to say but there was wax residue on my poor labia. I would probably stick to waxing my arms but I appreciate the friendly service and hospitality!

Yudermy Blanco Good afternoon everyone, Here is my honest review. I came across the place after many searches with trying to find a places that was in the Bronx Area, and specialized in Russian Manicures. I was excitedly surprised that they also provided a speciality in Eyebrows .. so I gave it a shot. I came this morning for a 9.30am appointment and had scheduled myself for a Nail Extension Gel builder, An intensive Pedicure and an Eyebrow Consultation. I must say Jossey the technician was through, delicate, and patient with my confusion, my nervousness about the neglect caused to my feet and though there were a cut or two .. it was not her fault , it was due to my abrasive skin… she took care of my skin effortlessly, and with caution so it wouldn’t burn or be irritated. When it came to nails there was some confusion due to what I actually was looking for and the owner Ms. Ely who introduced herself when I first came in , sat with me for clarification of what I was envisioning and we worked together to make it happen. I appreciated her presence and participation in my process and especially her expertise. The nail industry has its own language! ;) and I am not the professional! They offered me a Mimosa and though I don’t drink. They also offered water, tea, coffee and a sweet several times. It felt oddly nice to be thought of. :) I then went to meet with Ms. Ely for a consultation in regards to my eyebrows and was instantly in love with the simulation. She provided me a step by step process and called me beautiful. I will be returning in 3 wks for a follow up of my nails and feet and definitely will be scheduling my eyebrows session. I truly hope I found an establishment that I can build a relationship with. Thank you so much for your service. I truly recommend this place. Your work was thoughtful. Person -Centered and above all .. you were present with your client. Kindly and Respectfully, Yudermy Blanco

adriana cordero Best service ever—detailed and luxurious! I loved coming to Elys for my lip tinting and facials. She is the best, always attentive and sweet. Le Chalan truly feels like home. You won’t regret your decision! Can’t wait to do microblading!

Melissa Rodriguez Where do I start…. My first service with Ely at le chalán was in 2012 and listen can’t NOBODY do my eyebrows the way she does. The time and dedication that she takes on your brows makes it a masterpiece her hands are God’s gift to us, her formation and mapping to fit your face is what makes me fall in love with her work and keeps me coming back!! I truly don’t care how much I have to pay just to have her work on my brows, now ladies you know our brows make our face! Not just brows, throughout the years I’ve also gotten facials. I used to have bad acne but not anymore my skin has cleared and my blemishes are gone. She has also serviced me with lip blushing. Yes lip blushing, I was super nervous but Ely made me feel so comfortable and also relaxed, her confidence, knowledge and experience of what she was doing made me feel relax. It was a smooth service minor discomfort and in 4 weeks I was back for my touch up. At LeChalan I also get my individual lashes done by Taylor who is also experienced and slays my wispy set EVERYTIME!!!! I love getting pampered here!! Lady’s trust me when I say you won’t regret coming here!!

ricci mercedes i have been coming here for about 8 years. prior to that my mom has been with Ely since i was a teenager. Ely, CEO , is absolutely amazing at what she does. it’s an art for her she absolutely enjoys what she does. primarily it’s always prioritizing the clients and ensuring an exceptional experience catering to our needs and paying special attention to detail. they take their time and always welcoming and warm. Surkary is amazing, she’s new it’s my first time with her but she is warm, gentle, welcoming, fun and a perfectionist , paying special attention to all details. she prioritizes perfection and definitely enjoys her craft!

Ti Smith This doesn’t look like I just got a manicure. He didn’t do my cuticles well and I looked down and realized the man had a fungus on half of his fingers.

Cinthia Rose Please for the sake of your own hygiene and sanity, do nottt go here. The polishing came out good, but at what cost. I came in with a previous set on, wanting a removal. An older woman working the pedicure station took out a metro card to rip my nails off. If I wanted that service, I couldve done it myself at home. Tools were not sanitized or cleaned. Taken right out of a plastic box under the pedicure chair. When done she dumped them in my feet water. In the videos you can see how flimsy my nails are now from being ripped off.

Ruth Geronimo Pretty good place to get your nails done, but $45. Today, I think I was overpriced for a fill-in and color tips. Thank you, Ana

Angela Cotto Got my nails done told them they need to be thick cause I work with my hands. Totally ignored me did what they wanted. A few hours later 9 go to grab the door handle to my bldg a d a nail popped and broke right off. Going back to make them fix and it better be for free. I didnt pay $60 for my nails to break so easily. Dont even get me started on the polish work. Ive paid $60 b4 for my nails in other places and nvr had a terrible experience like this.

Norma Ivette Torres Olivieri I love this nail salon they do nails great. 2 months and no lifting.

tharun rajendran Im giving it a five-star rating because, after seeing the video on YouTube, I cant stop laughing at how funny and real the owner is. Shes a lot of fun to be around, and the entire place has a vibe.

Cassy Jay This used to be the place to be for Nails and feet. Cindy and Amy arent there and its been 3 months. The new people cant do nails to me. I went 2 weeks ago and a week later one nail broke, this week another. And they have the nerve to charge the same as Cindy. That has NEVER happened when Cindy did my nails. If her or Amy dont come back, neither am I.

Clevester Haynesworth Nails were too thick, and the edges were very sharp. They lied and said they have the color i want, but after they finished putting acrylic on, then they informed me they didnt have the color. I spent all that money and wasnt satisfied. I have to go to another sLpn to pay more money to get what i wanted. I will never go there again.

Ashley Thompson They do nails quite excellently you just got to be specific in what you want done and the prices are pretty fair overall good salon

LIMITLESS RESILIENCE Dissatisfied customer! This is not my usual nail salon, but it was closed Thanksgiving day so I attended this nail salon instead & I never will again. When I first walked in the lady was fast talking, I requested what I wanted and asked for the price & she said she would tell me at the end (like it was a secret) & that’s how they overcharge you. She charged me $135 for Mani with acrylic for natural nail growth & pedi chrome gel polish that didn’t even last for more than 4 days.. I received service on November 28th & took these videos December 2nd. I faithfully get my nails done, so myself and any woman that get her nails done too knows how ridiculous that sounds.. during a recession you pay $135 for nails & feet that doesn’t even last for more than 4 days? Yeah, you would be upset too and cannot receive a refund, but wanted to offer to fix both of my nails as if that was the only thing that needed fixing. (The shaping only looks decent because I filed my nails myself once I got home)

Liz If I could rate zero stars I would. Do not spend your money here. Every positive review here fails to mention that you will spend 5+ hours waiting for service and you will be treated like a peasant. They are rude and constantly gossiping about each other and customers. Majority of the employees are always drinking alcohol while working. This is an establishment full of women who are not certified in anything they are doing and do not care about the work they are doing. I went in for a simple color change on my toes. The very rude woman decided to cut my skin off and now I have an INFECTION!!!!! When I asked her why she cleaned my toe nails when all I wanted was a color change, she put her hands in my face and got defensive. The audacity lol, a professional with class would have apologized. On a separate occasion, I went in to get my hair done. They single handedly damaged all of my curls. They burned my hair and ruined it. They were all rushing to finish so that they could join the drinking and smoking festivities that were occurring in front of the business. Very ghetto. Never again.

K R I like the quality of the service here but it was pricy. I did mid length gel full set with different color polishes and they charged me $65, and $40 for plain gel pedicure. Also had to pay a service charge of $8 on top of the $105 I paid for my nails plus tip the ladies. Edit- downgraded from 3 stars to 1 star. Went in to get some wefts sewed in and the lady absolutely destroyed my hair with excessive heat and aggressive blow drying. The end product was a frizzy flat mess. They dont know what they are doing. I had to even adjust the temp of the dryer myself because it was SO HOT, literally burning my scalp. When the lady saw I adjusted it she came over to me and had an attitude, basically chastising me. I would NEVER support this business again. My hair has broken off in a way it never has before. The employees show no concern for their clients, just loud and unprofessional. They drink and gossip all day. The music is extremely loud and jarring. The experience is always horrible.

Astrid Hernandez My girl Maggie is the best! She does every design I want exactly like it! I love her!!! If you need someone who good, doesn’t rush and is sweet please go see her! She is worth it all!

Cheryl Traylor I had chipped my color on the thumb of recently done nail manicure and needed a quick repair. I walked into the shop at 9:45 am and after only a 15 minute wait, I was taken care of by Margaret P. My only critique is that her work station could have been cleaner and wiped down,but the shop space is beautifully designed and decorated,and Margaret was so pleasant and her work well done!

Jenilee Tuitt The nail techs seem to be talented when it comes to acrylic nails and gel manicures. I got a powder gel manicure, but the nail tech didnt seem to have much experience with this technique. In my understanding powder gel doesnt require uv light, but she used the light to dry my nails after using a normal gel topcoat. Also the powder gels were stored together in a plastic bag and it was clear that one of them had opened or spilled as all of the jars were coated in powder. The space is extremely tight and crowded to the point where it can be very uncomfortable if you dont do well in a setting like that. The nail on my index finger chipped less than 24 hours after my manicure...

K R I dont like going here because they take alot of shortcuts and the work is shoddy. Almost everytime I get my nails done here, they break within 2 days of doing them. Mind you, Im not even doing anything strenuous. This doesnt happen with my regular tech. They cant do the trendy nail detailing that alot of other salons do because they dont have the accessories/knowledge. The shop is run down as well I went in for a pedicure and inquired about the cost of waxing upper lip and eyebrows... the lady I asked called another woman and both were looking me up and down speaking in chinese. Just because of my attire and my engagement ring, they told me $35. I could get my entire face threaded for that by someone who does a much better job and has a more aesthetically pleasing location. Then when I said no, they tried haggling the price down...No thanks! Edit: extremely unsanitary and lacks accountability. They never sterilize their tools and this has now caused me an unsightly infection. I was convinced into getting acrylic on my toes despite not needing it. I came back over 4 times requesting them to be removed and being told no. Finally pushed for them to remove it yesterday and I had full blown fungal and green nail infections. Would never recommend.

Trae Alécia Looooong standing relationship with this establishment. Way back, when they were "Looking Good Nails." Nothing super fancy. They do great work though, and theyve been consistent for me through the years.

Luna Burgos I do agree they are very attentive of the clients that come in this was my first time. I hate the manicure job the lady gave me. My nail polish has bubbles all over it and looks messy. (Pictures don’t do justice) she kept asking me about doing gel manicure after I told her no 4 times. I tried this place because my actual lady at a different location was booked. But honestly I do not like the job they do. I think their speciality is acrylic and gel. But if you’re trying to keep it all natural they just rush you

Anonymous 6/9/18 It was my first time here. Hannah did my nails. Although there was a good amount of people there, I was immediately addressed by a man when I walked in and had no wait to get my nails done. The other reviews are correct. They are very fast and I love it! My boyfriend could not believe when I called him that I was done in less than an hour. I got a fill in and Hannah was patient with me choosing my colors and going back and forth. The diamond job could’ve been done better but the nails look nice and their prices are really reasonable and on point. I felt comfortable there and there was no drama nor did I feel like I was being constantly gossiped about in another language like SOME places! There were many nail techs there and a sectioned off area for eye brows and upper lip waxing that I will probably try next time I am there as well as a pedicure. I will definitely return. :)

BARB C Ive been coming here since I was a teen (mostly for eyebrows) and now I go in for acrylics. I like to keep it simple: no gel and regular shape. Perhaps the simplicity is what works? You pay $25 (plus tip), and quite frankly in other places you will easily pay more than $50 for a similar job. In my experience, the younger staff usually take their time, which I prefer. Yes, this place can use new decorations and more cleanliness, and hopefully in years to come they consider this. I will continue to support this local business.

Barbee Nicole This place is extremely friendly and reasonable priced. I was able to get a gel manicure done during my work lunch hour, and STILL had time to grab a quick bite! Keep in mind that they accept cash only. They have a ton of nail polish colors available; sparkles, mood changing, everything! I am very pleased and will be going back for my next manicure.

Drew Ralph My tips came out great today as for my pedi not so much. Do t get your feet done ! I was told my feet were the cause when I asked for partial payment because the woman cut my toe. Don’t blame the customer for your mistake... and then get mad because a client asked for a refund. Luckily I even paid at all because I’m at home and still bleeding over an hour later.

Mecca Rose This nail salon is pretty great if you’re rushing. But me personally if I have time I’m going to Brooklyn. They do have some nail technicians that are very great at what they do. Sometimes they’re too crowded and can’t take you so you have to go early.I definitely did enjoy this pedicure it cost five dollars extra I really don’t feel like it made my feet softer so I wouldn’t get it again.

Yaris Baez If youre going for a manicure or pedicure. This is not the place. Save your time and money. Also some people there are extremely rude. I see many people going for the same lady but she only does nails.

Sasha Natori I enjoyed getting my nails done by Chena. She takes her time, makes you feel comfortable & makes sure you’re okay with the shape/length and design. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Gabriella Wilkens I’ve been visiting Chena’s private salon for a little over a year now and haven’t gone back to a regular salon since! Chena’s attention to detail and desire to provide an amazing experience with the best Russian Manicure and Russian Pedicures is unmatched! I always leave with exactly what I’ve requested, or better. Chena does an amazing job of helping you grow strong and long nails. My structure gel never cracks and always lasts 4-5 weeks. My nails were previously chipping and flaking in layers, but with education and suggestions they’ve never looked better! I’m happy to use my hard earned money to pay for services for such an amazing nail expert who takes pride in their work and continuous education to be the best around.

Amanda Marquez Nails Finessed By Chena is definitely the place to go for a Russian pedi, mani and/or Apres Gel X… I’ve been a loyal customer since I’ve started with Chena, and I can not be any more happier to be one of her clients. She’s never missed a beat and I’ve had multiple different services done! Her creativity and her focus on detail is unmatched, from something simple, downto her finessed nail art! She’s really the Goat ! And it’s always a vibe ! Book now !

Alejandra Alvarez I absolutely loved getting my nails done by Chena! She is so gentle and takes her time. You can tell she has a passion for what she does! Quality over quantity. Definitely will be returning!

Gerdi Polanco Ive been coming to Chena for a year now coming from a what she call chop shop. My nails have improved since the first visit. Her work is exceptional. She takes her time and I love the atmosphere and her studio.

Jazmine Miller I love this place! The customer service is always top tier! This was the first time I went and they offered my wine and tea, I opted for tea. I’m natural with type 4 A&B hair (see 3rd pic), and I usually do my own hair but I come here for trims and all the things I can’t do myself especially when I need a good silk press. Some of them are great with my hair and others are learning. I gave 5 stars because they listen and use or products OR teach you why a product may not get you the results you are looking for and they’ll recommend you a different product. They also do everything thing here. Nails, eyebrows, body contouring, etc. Last time I went, most of the staff spoke Spanish except for one but it’s nothing Google Translate or Apple Translate can’t fix. They were patient with me and my translation apps.

Kim S. Nicolasina is the best, most professional, courteous, and caring salon owner that I have ever met. She implores her staff to use quality products. The salon is very comfortable and modern and it’s definitely one of a kind in this area. Our hair always looks fabulous after seeing Marissa. This place has the perfect name, Gems; it is truly a gem in the 10459 zip code.

Neici I had a great experience at Gem!! The salon owner is always friendly and she will answer questions if you have any skincare or hair questions. The beautician did an amazing job with my wash, set, and cut omg I had people asking if I had a perm!! I am completely natural. I was nervous about getting my hair but she said it was time for a cut and I loved the outcome including my partner!! I highly recommend!!

Arelys Ortiz Great services!! Very knowledgeable and caring. Nicole is hardworking and compassionate worker. She really cares about your needs and wants.
