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

Darklighter601 Im really happy I decided to go there. My first experience with their service was excellent. I appreciate that they didnt try to pressure me into buying extras I didnt need. The staff were helpful and attentive without being pushy. It made the whole experience much more pleasant. Ill definitely be returning for future service. Its refreshing to find a place that focuses on customer satisfaction. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Jessica Chamberlin Worst pedicure experience of my life. No music playing , space heaters everywhere, staff was not friendly. My feet were only in the water to rinse off, no soaking at all, the man was rough and rude, I was told I couldnt use the massage feature of the chair which is half the reason I even wanted a pedicure, I selected the deluxe pedicure which was $45. When I went to pay I was informed it was an additional $25 because I wanted a French Pedicure. $70 for the worst pedicure of my life. I left feeling more tense than I was when I walked in hoping to relax. Never again!

Jessica Hough I have been to this nail salon many times, and each time I go in, I know I’m going to get quality work done and that it will be exactly what I want. The staff are very kind and do great work. Definitely worth the try!

Free I came in from out of town and treated my daughter and I to a pedicure. The experience was lacking in a few areas. The water temp and the basic pedicure were fine. I had been ill and my feet weren’t in the best condition. When the young man scraped my feet there was a lot of skin and he and the lady doing my daughter’s feet actually enjoyed a laugh about it in their language which was very rude. They never offered to turn on the massage chairs we figured it out on our own. When I went to get a different polish color he lifted my arm rest knocking my keys on the floor and never picked them up or apologized. Then we went to the toenail drying station and he left me there and never came back to check on me. I got up to ask twice if I was done and could barely understand what he said. After 15 minutes I finally got up to pay and he never took the paper towels he used as to separators off my feet so I left that way. I still tipped $15 dollars to teach a lesson in professional behavior. The shop is nice but I thought the man doing my feet was rude

Courtney Rodak I’ve been coming here since 2022 somewhat regularly even tho the quality and cleanliness is subpar. They use all the same files and sanding bands on every client and don’t disinfect their metal tools in between customers at all. Though I still ignored this and continued to come because it was easier and faster than doing them myself like I normally would. They know me well there and know I always tip and tip very well, this time I didn’t have cash on me and wasn’t able to provide my regular generous tip and as I turned around to leave the man cashing me out says “you need to leave tip. You HAVE to leave tip for employee. You don’t come back if you don’t tip” I am extremely shocked and disappointed in the way I was treated as a regular customer. I will absolutely not be coming back, as half the time I don’t even leave with what I asked for in the first place. They’re always rude, seem irritated and unwilling to do even simple “designs” like a French tip. I don’t normally leave reviews especially of this nature, but to say I’m upset is an understatement.

Stacey Klimek Absolutely gorgeous work!!! She is the best nail tech in Rochester and thats no lie. We have been around hunting for someone who was talented. Today we hit the jackpot. I texted her this morning, she got back right away and we were there by noon. I highly recommend getting your nails done by Pooh. She is so warm and welcoming. We found our forever nail expert. Thank you Pooh ...again they are breathtaking ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dashina Wiggins She is an amazing talented nail tech who takes pride in what she does. She never disappoints.

Joya Melicia Very friendly & welcoming ❤️ does your nails however you like and takes time & care! Highly recommended!

Chelsea Wurstner First of all this place is absolutely beautiful inside. I needed a last minute fill since my usual place didn’t have openings. The lady who did my nails was so nice. I had high hopes. I simply wanted matte black nails with a couple spider webs for Halloween. OMG my nails look like terrible!! Chipped, the matte looks like crap, and it’s not even. Took 1.5 HOURS! My nails should be flawless smh. The girl who did the design(different girl) actually did really well but WOW. If they could match their skills with how that place looks it would be much better. 100% wouldn’t go back and it’s a shame because it’s so close to me.

Zaria Rice This was my 3rd time going here and I’m truly disappointed. My nails never make it to the full 2nd week without lifting and it’s a shame because I had high hopes. I guess I’ll just go back to my other nail salon that has good products and quality.

Jessica Bright I had a great experience here!! I believe Hana (apologies if I’m wrong!) did my nails this morning, she helped me get exactly what I wanted and gave me great recommendations! She also made sure I was satisfied with everything as she went. 10/10 they came out beautifully!! Also, it is a cash only place, they do have an ATM machine but I would make sure to bring cash prior to avoid the service charge! Awesome experience :)

shylisa cattling I went to antuans for a manicure. The customer service was great but the mail job was horrible. I paid $45 and had to come back because my right hand nails had begin to crack in two days. The redid my right hand but that lasted for three days and the left hand followed. Everything was good but the paint job. I will not recommend them for nail service.

AscendedbyD Awesome family owned business. They will get you right everytime, from your nails, lashes, eyebrows (even tinting), and pedicures, all around a great place.

Porchia L So I flew in town late and when I tell you Nancy got me in last minute and did the best birthday nails I could think of!… the work speaks for itself . Soo thankful

Susana Lopez I left not recognizing my pinky toe was not even painted and two days later my nail polish is already chipping off. And I got charged $65 for them to pretty much talk to everyone one else too much yapping. I will not recommend this shop to anyone else. They should open up a comedy shop since they joke so much.

Cherry Blossom Nia is a warm, kind, unique and caring soul. She is definitely the one you should choose for your aesthetic services. She is very attentive and knowledgeable to her craft, and especially caring to her clients needs. If you have questions, give her a call.

Kristin Forte Nia is my girl! She is absolutely amazing and so talented. Literally the best experience ever having my nails done! My A1 from now on! I get a ton of compliments on my nails and I will never go anywhere else.

Dr Rev Cynthia Cole Private, Professional, Classy, Uniquely Personable, Very Engaging . The owner is attentive to your comfort, assuring an individual experience. I was searching for and found this place to be exactly what I need. I highly recommend the services of this amazing young experienced African American entrepreneur. Her services are to male and female clients providing a great environment! I look forward to my next appointment.

Grace Cassady Nia is my new go-to girly for pedicures! She is passionate about making you feel comfortable and beautiful and she takes her time with you. She doesnt make you feel rushed when youre in for services. She is great at communicating and helps you make decisions with your nails if youre feeling a little indecisive (like me) ❤️ Nia made this an amazing experience for me, she made it feel like a reunion between two best friends (even though this was my first time seeing her). I couldnt recommend Nia enough!

kendra smallwood I love the nail tech Nia She always gets me together by providing me with the best service Highly recommended

Kindra McDaniels Maria is very rude and nasty. The nails fall off very fast. She trys to tell you what to get. She changes the price randomly. She doesn’t have a lot of customers. I do not recommend this shop. Peter does not do nails or pedicures he will mess you all the way up!!! She will even refuse to do a customer nails. Do not support her she doesn’t respect the community or the people in it.

Marcie Rawls Maria & Peter are very professional and detailed oriented. Service with successful results. Thank you, Marcie

Kana Babie Not good customer service didn’t do my feet because another customer ask for thier money back cuz she changed the price when she was almost done in I don’t even kno the person … all the person said to me was don’t let them trick u outta ur price honey in the lady start snapping “oh we not doin yo nail “ cuz u believe her like I had nothing to do with what u in that lady had goin on will not never support them df

r ø I Don’t know why people putting others down But —-THIS IS A VERY NICE PLACE TO COME FRIENDLY AND STRAIGHT TO WORK VERY COMFORTABLE CHAIRS FOR PEDIS PEOPLE ARE SO NASTY AND RUDE WHO COMMENT I LOVE THIS NAIL SHOP :)

Nisha Jenkins Shes did A good job.. We was in and out and she did a full set on me plus 2 paintings for my little girls. Ill be going back

Rachael Burroughs I have been with Tina for over 20 years. My primary service are acrylic nails but have had other services rendered . The thing that drew me to her, was her technique with nails. She never used the drill on your nail bed and is always flexible when life happens. In many establishments if you break a nail you are charged for repairs. Tina Maria does not charge for this service it is included as part of your service when again life happens. She has a positive atmosphere, clean facility, and is always on time and professional . Every time I go there I feel like one of the family. Tina and her staff treat each person/client with respect and care. If you are looking for a FABULOUS place to pamper yourself with a inviting atmosphere for any services, look no further Tina Maria’s is the place.

Melissa Dorreman I am a client of Shelby! She is awesome with my nails, very friendly! I love coming here. Reasonably priced!

Kenneth Lee Kaye The people that are here are consummate professionals. I have had the pleasure of knowing and enjoying the company of Kristen for a number of years. Not going to say how many years because she wouldnt like that. If youre looking for a place where you can get the best service with a smile, and friendly conversation then you really should check out Tina Marie Salon and Boutique.

Wildatheart Kristin has been cutting my hair for a lifetime. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Ive never had a bad experience or cut ever. Very professional, customer-oriented establishment.

Sheila S Kaye Nail client of Tina, Owner she is excellent. I have followed her for passed twenty years. I have tried other salons but Tinas work and service is far superior and she cares about her clients.

Latoya Stewart-Fox Maria is the best! There is not enough words to describe my experience with her services. Since my first visit, I have seen so much progress in the looks of my feet. I have thus far recommended 4 persons to her and I will continue doing that. She is exceptional! Maria i appreciate you so very much!

Alena Blasio Maria is an incredible nail technician, with a heart of gold! I brought both of my teenage daughters for manicures and pedicures and the space and services were amazing. She also taught my daughters tricks to care for their nails between pedicures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a nicer spot with reasonable prices and excellent quality. Loved it here!!!

Victoria Martins Maria is amazing. Shes kind and has a beautiful location. I went in for a pedicure and it was a great experience. I recommend her to anyone who needs a pedicure thats more than just a soak and some polish.

D R wow, tremendous service, we are pastors and I was looking for a place where my wife could get her nails and feet done, and I found Maria online and I could see good comments and I was encouraged to call and make an appointment since it was my wifes birthday. I can say that the treatment and the work was excellent, we give it a 10. Thank you Maria, continue doing a good job and above all she continues to be humble. God bless you.

Burcak Ustanıl Tosun A must go and try ! No doubt she is the best of town! She is very friendly and helpful.She is expert at her job! Her salon is the most clean salon I have ever see. I got waxing, manicure and pedicure services from her and I really satisfied! Thank you so much Maria!

Alyssa Andrews I am so happy with my Christmas nails done by the amazing Amy! She captured exactly what I was going for when I showed her my inspo pic. She pays extreme attention to detail and always does a wonderful job on my nails. I hope she never leaves Art Nails!

Laine Luckenbach Went a couple of years ago for a gel fill and within days my nails were breaking. Thought it was a fluke. Went Wednesday for a gel pedicure and the next day one of my toe’s polish completely came off. I went back and they fixed it and said it shouldn’t have happened. Even showed me the box saying lasts 21 days. Today I glance down and another toe’s polish is completely gone. We are on our way back home to RI. I didn’t have time to have it fixed. Sucks when you spend your money and don’t even get a week out of it. I’ve never ever had this happen at my place in RI. Won’t be going back here. Let me know if anyone has a place they recommend in the same area. We have family there and visit periodically.

Mildred Williams My technician would not listen to me. The communication was terrible. It seemed like the communication is better with white customers. My technician did a terrible job with polishing my left hand.

Lynn Amy We went the Art nails because it was a Saturday and the decision to get a mani/pedi was spontaneous, so we needed a place that took walk-ins. They were very rough on my 13 yr old daughters feet, as well as on mine (literally pressing nail up center of my foot, repeatedly), the water was cold, the tools (like the nail file) were clearly used and not the type that can be sterilized, and my cuticles were cut way back. I was bleeding when I left and currently (2 days later), I have two fingers that are tender, red, and slightly swollen around the edge of nail bed (i.e. the cuticle area). I will not be returning and was really disappointed that it was recommended to me. Oh, and the very first day, the polish completely peeled off of two of my daughters toe nails (meanwhile, I tried to remove my nail polish and it wont budge).

Amanda D The owner was welcoming when I came in right away . He made my experience comfortable and relaxing . He massaged my legs and feet and took his time and it felt like heaven . While getting my nails done he was having conversation with me also. And he even massaged my hands after I got a full set . This made my whole month and I appreciate his time and how well he did on my feet and nails . I will be coming here when I have the time and go to him if he is not busy . Thank you angel nails !

Aurora Jean Alexander I was here for the second time now for a pedicure and will definitely come back! Angel Nails is warm and welcoming and friendly, and they know what they are doing! They took care of my slightly ingrown toenails, and I barely felt any pain. Also, they take their time for each customer, so I had time to lean back, relax, and just enjoy. It was not just a rush-rush-thing to get me out of the chair to free it for the next customer like at other places. A big shoutout for Angel Nails. I look forward to my next appointment!

Jessica Brown While my nails turned out great, the time leading up to the appointment and the experience was not great. I called a week prior to this past Sunday to make an appt for my mother , my daughter, and I to get mani/pedi. I spoke with a lady who said 11am should work. When we get there at 1055am, I tell the owner ( who is doing a manicure ) that we have appointments and he says it will be 10-15 minutes. Well 40 minutes goes by and we still havent been taken back yet. Mind you, my daugher is 3.5 and keeping her occupied is hard for that long. So we plan to leave by 1145 am if we arent called back yet. Then we get called back and my mother in law tells the owner that we waited a long time and had appointments, whats their process and the owner tells my mother in law that they dont take appointments on Sundays ....like WHAT! That makes no sense since the lady I spoke with on the phone clearly made me one. They never apologized for the inconvenience and honeslty I felt brushed off and disregarded for the mistake they made. So because of this nonchalant behavior and disregard I wouldnt go back. Other than that, our nails turned out good.

Eve Wisniewski Went on Saturday had a great experience. Not even a week later nails are chipping and it’s gel. I’ve had gel last me two months without flaking. It hasn’t even been a full week! Very disappointed and bummed. Also noticed my toe nails weren’t fully covered in nail polish right after I left.

katmel8r So this is what they were suppose to look like and that’s what they ended up looking like!! I’m giving it a 3 because the place was low key, quiet, cute, relaxing and had really good prices. One the other hand the lady did not copy the picture and after only a couple days the nails started falling off. Personally i won’t go back there or take my daughters there because quality is important!

Maria Jose Sturtevant This place was recommended by my coworker after me going to an “expensive salon” and got my nails destroyed. I saw Vi and she did a wonderful job. Very friendly and knew what she was doing. Also Tran does a great job. The place is clean and has great prices. 100% recommend! I didn’t take a picture right away but this is how they look after two weeks and the designs are nice!

Noelis Ruiz Cordova MTV Nail Salon is the best in Rochester! Ninja has been my amazing nail tech for almost two years. I am so happy to have found him. I wont go to anyone else. His work is always very detailed, carefully done, and always comes out spectacular! He always gives me exactly what I ask for. Ninja not only provides amazing service and skilled designs, but provides a safe environment for creativity and communication. I also find that MTV Nails offers great prices for those on a budget. I typically always get a gel-x fill and a gel pedicure and only spend $100 and it lasts me about 4-5 weeks. Highly recommend MTV Nails, specifically Ninja!

April Guilford Ive been doing my own dip and gel nails for about 10 years but like to get them done at the salon for special occasions. With a vacation coming up, I decided to visit MTV Nail and Spa for both my nails and toes. Typically, Im quite picky and not always 100% satisfied with salon results. Today, I had a set of hybrid gel nails done by Ninja, who did an excellent job with great attention to detail. Su did a fantastic French polish pedicure. I left completely satisfied and will definitely be back!

Brigit Norway I have been going to MTV for 9 months now. They do amazing work and all the staff is so kind. All of the nail artists are so talented. I get my nails done by Ninja, who pays attention to the little details and always exceeds my expectations. When I do get a pedicure, Sue does an outstanding job! Prices are reasonable. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to get their nails done.

Justine M I’m from out of town and stopped here for a manicure. They were not opened at 1245p even though the sign stated open until 3pm. Waste of time

Clementina Gratacós Absolutely love this location,very clean with the best customer service and my nails look amazing,I would definitely recommend this place to everyone,..

Darlena Lopez I am going to say that by looking at ur work Im interested in getting my nails done.

Sidene F. Very nice place. Clean, private, professional and whatever the customer wants she does and male sure you like/love it. Definitely going back.

Astha Mantri I’ve had the worst experience with them. The person who was doing my manicure was very rude. She was making faces all throughout and was not doing the nails properly. I wanted chrome but there was no shine. They took 68 dollars from me for the worst nails ever. They cut my own nails like anything. They couldn’t understand English. I will never come to this salon ever. They cut my natural nails also so badly without any shape. I strongly recommend to not go here because they were very unprofessional and it was actually the worst experience ever. I went with the motive of getting gel polish and they did dip on and then charged me double. It’s better to go somewhere and pay more than to get it done here because these people were just not professional and good. I am just scared now how this will affect my natural nails.

Kaitlyn Sevilla I came here a couple weeks ago for dip polish removal as I didn’t want to ruin my nails by doing it at home. (The initial dip polish was NOT done by this salon.) I left absolutely appalled with the state of my nails, she had drilled down not just not only the polish but the top layers of my nail… they were so thin, I came home and had to cut off the ends to prevent them from breaking. Throughout the next week they continued to chip and break despite putting on keratin nail polish. I’m so disappointed and wish I just did the removal myself. I will NOT be back.

Alexis Hernandez I love it here! My last two appointments they’ve been able to get me in same day. Salon is clean, service is professional and relaxing!

Danielle Arieno Destroyed my natural nails. I decided to try this place because my usual place was too far from me. I had an appointment at 10am, my nails were not started until 10:30. FOUR different people did my nails. Not only were they late to start my nails, but they were not prepared for my appointment apparently because I was pushed around to four different people. I was going to let this go because my nails looked nice. I left there around 11:30 and by 3pm my nails were breaking. 3 of my natural nails just cracked like they never have before. I went back they put another layer of dip on so those 3 nails are extremely thick and look terrible. I was told I was too rough on my nails... I have been getting my nails done for 7+ years I know how to handle them. A few days later the rest of the nails were cracking. Today my nail completely ripped off. I will never be back here. They ruined my nails. I paid way more money than I usually do at my old place and the quality was SO MUCH WORSE.

Marc Newman One of the Shortest and worse pedicure I have ever had. It was nice that it only took 15 minutes, and I was also informed that if I wanted any calluses removed, that would be an extra $10 charge. I’ve had pedicures in many different cities and they are always relaxing and enjoyable. The use of a disposable pumice Piece of paper didn’t seem to do much for removing rough spots. I would certainly never use this salon again.

Lexi Forte I’ve been going to Amber for almost a year, I have never left her chair with a manicure I didn’t love and she is one of my favorite people to talk to (lovely bonus to beautiful manicures). My nails are so strong and this is an appointment I always look forward to. Bella is also so kind, they are both dedicated to providing high quality services. The Nail Room Roc will always have my business!!!

Katie Sammann Amber is the best! Ive had nothing but flawless manis and pedis from her every single time. I appreciate her focus on nail health and how she educates her clients about it. Shes also just a great person to chat with and makes you feel comfortable and valued. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Meghan Phinney Amber is the BEST in Rochester! When I moved back from Charlotte, NC to the area, I was so worried I wouldnt find someone who did quality manicures. A friend referred me to Amber and I couldnt be happier so far. I ended up getting structured gel for the first time and love it. Her work is unmatched, and she is also a blast to hang with. Highly recommend!!!!

Emily Astuto The Nail Room is a beautiful, clean, and comfortable space to relax while receiving extraordinary services! I got a russian manicure by Bella and couldn’t be more happy! She was very attentive to detail and sweet to talk to. Amber and Bella both create a welcoming environment. I would highly recommend The Nail Room to anyone looking for a luxury nail experience.

Claire Martin-Mann Ryan is not only a fabulous nail tech, she’s also a talented artist and always made my appointments so fun.

Mae Copeland Not only is Ryan sweet, cool, and a great person to spend an hour with, she’s also talented, her workspace is clean, and she always has the best ideas for my nails. Couldn’t recommend Heaven Sent Nails enough! So excited for her to have her own space.

Mary Sarkis What an amazing experience. The space is so unique, welcoming and warm. Ryan is a perfectionist and extremely talented. She has a gentle touch and my hands felt amazing. I am so happy with my manicure. I will recommend her to everyone!

Elizabeth Roth I can’t say enough positive things about Ryan! Time spend with her is exactly the peace I need while treating myself to time out and a manicure! Lucky Rochester … You’re missed in Atlanta!

Rachel Fleissig Throughout college phynix did my pedicures, manicures & waxed my eyebrows. Shes so talented, a great person, and has a great sense of humor. 10/10 recommend her she’s amazing!

Laura Discavage Phynix is my first ever nail tech and she is the best! She makes the experience easy and my nails always turn out so beautiful. Our chats are so fun and she is very down-to-earth. I mostly get simple designs but I know if I wanted more complex nail art she’d crush it! Phynix is a great option if you are looking for gorgeous nails and a fun chat to make the hour go by fast!

Carl Finnemore Got my nails cleaned up for a work event , very clean and friendly very good job just what I asked for thank you! Reasonably priced manicure ended with a great hand massage

Brenna pollock I love Phynix she’s absolutely amazing at what she does. Very honest and kind. The talent is outstanding with her you won’t be disappointed

KeyAndra Adams I have been getting my nails done by Shorty for 8+ years & I love her like family . She’s such a sweetheart & has a heart of gold ! She’s the only person I let do my nails . She pays close attention to detail, is very creative & takes her time to make sure your nails are exactly how you want them. Shorty & Jojo at S&J Nails are professional, clean & friendly . They make sure you leave their shop with no complaints ! 10/10 - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them !

Ivelisse Huertas Jojo always makes my day when she does my nails. Talented and makes you feel welcomed.

Your Favorite Month This set has been on for 3 weeks and as you can see it doesn’t even look like i need a fill just yet . The quality is GREAT!!!!

vonie greenaway I love the creativity of the ladies and they make you feel at home while here. I highly recommend them. The ladies are extremely knowledgeable and professional; you will not be disappointed.

A Rivera I love S and J nails. Jojo and Shorty are amazing. #1 in the Roc for quality, cleanliness and making you Hands and feet look the best

Linsay Zorrilla So nice, professional, and fast!!! And whoever did my baby’s nails was so sweet!

Chaundria D. Brown They do good work at Michael Nails but the price list does not accurately reflect your true cost. For instance a pedicure is listed as 30 dollars. It is not mentioned however that a polish is not included, which it should be. Especially since you are told to pick a polish before being serviced, and since all polishes are gel and add 10 dollars to your price it might be worth mentioning up front.

destiny padillka My experience here was very horrible, first my nails were very Crooked, bulky and one side wasn’t the same as the other side. Some nails looked to be very small and big.The lady left streaks of acrylic in the nail, and the nails popped off quickly. Honestly if you even get your nails done from here I recommend going to the owner Micheal.

Montano Miledy (Sara) Ive been going to Michaels for over 10+ years. I LOVE his professionalism and consistency, thats what keeps me going back year after year. He is always polite & friendly and just an awesome person. I LOVE him and all the amazing people that work with him they all do great job.

Dianna DePriest Tiffany is the Best, warm,easy going,I love the way she does my nails, she takes her time and is truly a joy to have as a nail tech.

brittany scroger Tiffany is fantastic, she is such an easy person to get along with and has become the only person I trust to do my nails. Besides being a great nail tech she is a great person with a wonderful personality, I feel like I can have a nail appointment and a therapy appointment at the same time and leave feeling my best! I definitely would recommend her to anyone that is looking to get their nails done!

Ether Shakur Tiffany is amazing. Shes sweet fun and professional. Shes real and thoughtful. She makes you comfortable and pretty affordable as well Shes the ish and I will be taking a class from her very soon

Holly Hill So glad I found my new nail girl. Tiffany did an amazing job on my nails. I checked out her photos and was in love with the variety. I don’t think there’s anything she can’t do. Such a huge step up from where I been going. She posted a new product and knew I had to have it. It’s 1,000 times prettier than the sample photo I seen. I can’t stop looking at my nails! ❤️
