Nail salon 21 Reviews in Brooklyn, NY

Lauren Rich Don’t come here! Door doesn’t work so it was freezing (beyond cold) inside, but worst of all she butchered my toes. If you are a nail professional how do you not know how to cut nails? She even said “too short”, like thank you, you can see my skin and the cut is all angled. Truly terrible, would NOT come back

Tam B They saved my week. I went and got a mani at my usual place and was unhappy with the color. On my way home from a fresh mani I stopped off at Refresh Nail N Spa and explained I hate my nail color if they can do something for me. Lisa was my manicurist and she hooked me up with a color I love ❤️. The staff is very sweet and pleasent and the place os very clean. I booked my next appointment with them. The place is convenient right here in Downtown Brooklyn. Why not do you shopping and get your mani and pedi?

Sandy Luisa’s attention to detail is unmatched, she did an amazing job. My first time here will definitely be back. Have also done my eyebrows twice here, also very good! Again, LOVE Luisa’s work. Got dip this time and she did an AMAZING job so they look super natural. Can’t recommend enough

Khadijah Gibson This was my first time getting a powder manicure and I absolutely loved it! Linda did an amazing job and informed me about the benefits of powder relative to gel. I definitely recommend this nail salon which also offers many other services. I usually come for my eyebrows, but I decided to try the nail services and I will be back!

Samantha McCloud Came here for an acrylic fill they were really nice. The woman who did my nails was really fast and efficient I showed her what I wanted and she did it exactly.

Camille Cox I have been going to Z&Y for a while, and I never had a problem until recently when I went in to get a manicure, the owner was rushing me to sit with someone that I don’t usually get my nails done with. I told here I was waiting on someone else. She then said “you have to soak off the gel.” This I know, but she then goes to say, “what’s wrong with you?”, in a rude tone. I asked her if she is talking to me she said “you can leave now, leave now,” fanning me off. I was attempting to talk to her saying “you should not talk to your customers like that and that I have been coming here for a while” but she dismissed me by walking away. Never again, will they receive my money.

annie thermidor I was weary of going here due to the poor reviews but this place answered the call when I needed my nails done last minute. I walked in during the late afternoon and was instantly seated in a chair. The place was spacious and clean. The technician I had, Suki, was very efficient and precise. She did my gel manicure in under 10mn. They had a good choice of colors. The pedicure was well executed but they were not aggressive with the calluses unless you were willing to pay more. Overall, I was very pleased with my session and would return.

Nayiba Vlogz Rush and do what they wanna do as far as making you feel like what you wanted they dont care to make the effort to create your vision. They Use regular soup to scrub and I would love if I brought my own stone scrub for my feet cause these Locals feet have all kinds of things and get the same stone used on there food God knows how they clean it to reuse.

Clara Lopez On Saturday January 14 I stopped by bc I just needed a simple mani/pedi. My pedicure was great but my dip powder manicure was horrible. I just wanted them to be filed a bit in a squared style but that did not happen. On top of that the following day the top coat started Peeling.. I honestly cant live with my nails like this..

Jamila Rashida There were only 2 staff member and only 1of them knew how to do the finger nail tips with gel nail polish. The problem is they were so unprofessional that neither one of them knew how to do any designs.... Not even for the toes... Everything that I asked for the "nail tech" stated that she only knows how to do french design with the polish. I was so disappointed and unsatisfied they had the nerve to over charge me for what I could have done better myself at home. They also spoke too much gossip! They need training and to focus more on their job and less talk please!! Will NEVER recommend!!

Mo I always get gel acrylic sets , gel fillins , and pedicures here. Good price and my nails always turn out so beautiful!!!

Erika Worst nail salon in NYC! I wanted a simple gold gel polish with one designed toe with French gold tip. She couldn’t even freestyle some damn lines to go with the sticker flower. She had to do it over at least 10 times. I should’ve stuck with my guts. I’ve been living over here for years and finally decided to try them but now I see why I didn’t in the first place smh they need their license taken away fr

Jaye X The ratings for this place are all completely true. Aside from the reality that its extremely dirty and gross, I walked in with a powder set, and the girl started to remove it as though it were acrylic. They dont even know the difference between one form of nail to another. Additionally, I made the terrible mistake of getting a Brazilian wax at this place. Not only did the lady not know what a Brazilian wax was, whatever they used on my body caused extreme, irritation, and a reaction that Ive never received in the more than 15 years Ive been getting Brazilian waxes. I will literally never go to this place again.

Kings Daughter Great nail salon. Candy is the best of all. Ive been going there for the past 2 years and always have the same satisfaction. The wait can be long sometimes so it is best to get there early in the morning or late in the evening. I

Nola James Great mani pedi! Regular polish for both is $32, plus tip. Very happy, will be back.

donna cyrus Ive been going there for 8 years. Always comfortable and professional. I get a spa pedicure then a 20 minute chair massage while my toes dry. They are very accommodating and I appreciate their availability and consistency.

Jamie Byrne I’ve been here three times and have been pleased every time with my mani pedi. The women are great and put care into your nails. They also give you a back rub while your nails are drying which is great. Today I got a manicure and a 10 minute chair massage for under $20 and they did a great job. I will definitely keep coming!

Vale Amazing services. Truly caring and very sweet ladies. Their included brief massages are so thoughtful and enjoyable !! i always end up asking for extra time. it’s worth it ! I’m moving out of the neighborhood and i know i will totally feel like commuting only to get my nails done at this very special salon.

C. Ross This is my favorite nail salon in Bushwick for several reasons. This location was previously run by a Korean family, the current owners took over in about 2014 and implemented immediate changes which dramatically improved service. If Im honest, they could stand to do a little work on the interior of the place. The paint is old and the massage chairs are run down and barely functional but what keeps me coming back is the service. Im a simple girl so I usually get a regular manicure and pedicure-no gel, stiletto or coffin shaped acrylic sets,etc. I appreciate that they look you in the eye and greet you with a smile. All of the technicians that Ive had pay exceptional attention to detail when cleaning the nail and caring for the skin. They also offer really awesome service massages at the end of your treatment for free. They are AMAZING masseuses! I recommend this place for a local no frills experience.

Lara Pham Not sure about all these bad reviews but I’ve been coming here for 3 years and my gels always look amazing and they last up to 3 weeks! I’ve recommended this place to so many people. Everyone is nice and respectful. Even though they don’t do designs I sometimes ask if they can and they always try to accommodate. I have been going to Tina and she’s great!! For those reviewers who say that these technicians are rude, do you speak to them with respect? I’ve seen and heard some rude people in here, please remember they are human too and deserve to be spoken to with respect.

Emily I hate to rate poorly but I just got the most mediocre walk in pedicure of my life here. Bare minimum, low effort pedicure. Had to ask to scrub my feet more and harder. My feet were still wet when she tried to slip my sandals on to start painting, had to ask for a towel to dry my feet. The included shoulder massage at the end of the service should just not be offered due to how no effort was put in. Glad it lasted all of 15 seconds lol. I could have done a way better job at home, so I am extremely disappointed that I paid for this service. I hope my polish lasts a week for an event. They offer a 10% discount if you pay in cash. I will not be returning.

Mary Case My go to place. They’re good about honoring reservations when I remember to make one. Always walk out happy.

Adama I had my nails done here. Gel mani and pedi. They did a fantastic job Yoyo was so nice and took a great deal of care while doing my nails. 5 stars and I will be coming here again. They really go above and beyond with their customer service! Be sure to bring cash for the tip.

Katelyn Meyer Very nice service. They do a great job on nails and have a rewards program. Can get busy best to make an appt.

Cinelli I had a fantastic experience at Honey Nails Salon! It was my first time visiting, and I will definitely be back. My cousin recommended the salon to me, and Im glad that I decided to try it out. It was clean and comfortable, and the staff was accommodating. I got a gel mani and pedi, and my technician, Joy, was incredibly professional and helpful. Her work is very neat and she made sure that I was comfortable and satisfied with the results. I really appreciated that she gave me a little dish to place my rings when she applied lotion to my hands. I was grateful for the attention to detail and making sure that i had the best experience possible.

Heather Beware they no longer use dust collectors/fans when doing manicures, which is so bad for everyones health. To Honey Nails, please start using these again for a better customer experience and for health purposes, or at least give your customers masks too. Ive come here for 4+ months and at the start of my experience they were using them, but not for the past 2~ months. Will not be returning unfortunately.

Alysha Jones I got a mani/pedi here and the same night my nail polish started chipping. I wasn’t able to get them fixed for a few days, and during that time a few of them broke. They did fix it for free, but I spent 4 1/2 hours total there between the first and second visit. It was very expensive to have it mess up so quickly. I will not be returning.

Toni Super disappointing experience. It always looked so nice from the outside but that was not my experience. The receptionist was pleasant but my nail tech was rude. From looking irritated because I wouldn’t go with her recommendation and jerking my fingers around to her hitting my skin multiple times with the tools, causing my fingers to be in pain that I have never experienced before due to my skin being nicked so many times. My nails look pretty from the outside but there was excess glue that I asked for her to clean up … she went through it but it was still there. I had to clean it myself and I left with extra polish around my nails. It looks nice inside, but if you go you better pray you get a nail tech who is not trying to rush you out (although they were not busy and I went 3 hours before closing) and who will be gentle with your nail and not just say “oh it’s your skin, sorry” every time they nick you. I recommend not coming here and trying a place that will take their time - especially when you are paying $88 for a basic dip powder set with tips and no design … it was not worth it and I will not be back. I hope the store will take this review and make adjustments needed for their future customers. P.S- this happened to me and my sister. We remained pleasant but knew that would be out first and last time.

DiDi Ward I go here to get my eyebrows, pedicure and full set. The first couple of times it was fine. They do good nails. But they love to overcharge and change prices. I usually ask for straight nails instead of the curve. It’s normally free. This time however I was told it would be $5 extra. Certain technicians are rough. I left with both a cut on my finger and my toe. When I asked CoCo for a nude base on my pedicure I was told I could only have nude if I get gel. That’s weird. I usually get nude in regular polish. She put this horrible pink on my toes and when I didn’t like it. She rolled her eyes like 10 times directly in my face and charged me for a color change. The attitude was not warranted and extremely disgusting. I almost walked out. If I didn’t have graduation in a couple days I would’ve. I then decided to do white. Mind you she didn’t take the pink off just put white on top. (Was that really a color change?) The time before this the lady doing my eyebrows sneezed/coughed on me. I should’ve stopped going at this point. I spent $113 including the tip I told myself I should not have left. They do good nails but have obnoxious technicians.

Jade G do not come here. i came to get my feet done and the polish literally started chipping the next day. granted i did get regular polish because its winter time but still my feet shouldn’t be looking like i got them done 3 weeks ago when in all seriousness it hasn’t been a week yet and 4 of my toes are chipped. on top of that i got charged $30 for regular polish.. and the tech was originally trying to charge me $40.

MakeupPurgatory DO NOT COME HERE! I came in yesterday to simply get a small layer of acrylic soaked off, the price on the sign says $7 for a soak off/one nail fix. I told the nail tech that I just wanted a soak off, nothing else. She then pulls out a metro card and starts trying to take them off with the card?? It was visibly hurting me and I could see a layer of my nail being peeled off. I told her to stop and she kept trying to use the card! When I finally pulled my hand away and said they needed to be soaked off she brought me to the back. The back area was filthy, the walls and bowls looked like they hadn’t been cleaned it quite a while. She brings back the bowl with hot water and acetone(the acetone was in a metal bowl) and the water was so hot I could barely keep my fingers in the bowl. It was like she had just taken it off from the kettle and poured it in right away. About 10-15 mins later she comes over to file some of the acrylic off and had me soak them for a little longer. When that was done I went back to her station and she further filed them with an e-file. She somehow managed to both over file my nails and under file them, still leaving acrylic left on them which I unfortunately didn’t notice till I got home. She then asks me what color I wanted, to which I reminder her I was only coming in for a soak off. And now the price magically jumps to $10. I told her the sign says $7, and her and her colleague tell me that’s only if you’re getting a new set. Which I stated both when I walked in and when I sat down I was just getting a soak off. If they were planning on soaking off my nails so poorly and then putting a new set on top there’s no way they would have lasted. Now my nails are sensitive and damaged. I should have just gone to my usual spot Darling nails, they’re about 10 mins away from Grace and have a much cleaner environment and are much more professional. Don’t come here unless you want to be overcharged and left with damaged nails. I’ve included some pics that hopefully show how poorly they were done .

shatora Stockdale Ive been coming here for years ! I love the service , maggie does a good job on my nails , grace does a good job with brows and lashes and jason does a good job with pedicures!! 10/10

Amanda Li Design I dont know why they didnt ask me to pay first. My nails were not dry enough and at least 3 of them were ruined. Also the technician was not very careful she missed so much. I might be one of the last customers but they should be so sloppy. I dont have a lot of options in this neighborhood but I will try to avoid coming back

Camille Allums Stopped in with my sisters to get our nails done with no appointments. Not only did they get us in quickly, but they have done an amazing job cultivating a relaxing and restful environment to really treat and spoil you. While my fingernails were drying, they not only did the hand and arm massage, but they massaged my shoulders and took about 3 weeks of stress out. It was so good, that while I was waiting for a chair to open up for my pedicure, I got a ten minute chair massage. I almost fell asleep. I get frequent massages, and I normally wouldnt expect a chair massage to be so amazing, but it was exceptional. I felt like a warmed ball of wax in their hands. The Milk and Honey pedicure was so relaxing and felt amazing on my skin. This is now gonna be a mandatory stop whenever I come to Brooklyn to visit my family. *As a side note, I really liked how they set timers for all the massage parts of the experience. Most places dont do that and therefore the massage times can vary dramatically from client to client and stylist to stylist, but this was a nice way to show consistency to the customer so you knew you were being treated equitably.

Akins Ridge HOA First time here via recommendation. They’ve got a customer for life. Great atmosphere, no smelling of chemicals. Alex was my nail stylist , she was great and gave a great complimentary massage.

Tokyo Flo Love this place!!! The staff is kind and the service is almost always immediate. I enjoy getting my nails done and really the overall environment. They have a lot of options in terms of colors, not big on designs though.

Can Dan I’ve been frequenting this establishment for several months. The staff is friendly, space is clean, and the environment is relaxing and welcoming. I usually get a gel manicure with a regular manicure. What I initially thought was a once in a while mishap, has become the normal experience. While my pedicures are lasting the acceptable timeframe, I’ve noticed my gel manicures are barely making it to a week. I visited on NYE and within a few days, one nail’s polish began to lift and peel. Now it’s 6days later, and 3 nails have peeled, with a few others that have nail polish lifting as well. For the price, this should not be happening. This is what I would expect for a regular manicure. I must note I use gloves to wash dishes (even used gloves to wash my child’s hair over the weekend). However, the polish still isn’t lasting. I really do love this place, but I cannot justify wasting money :(

G I had a great experience getting a freestyle Russian manicure with Mimi!! She is so sweet and took her time with my nails. Will be back for more lovely designs :)

Laura Zapata Such a gem nail spot! Bella did such a great job on my nails. She is so kind and so professional and I’ll definitely be back!

손혜정 I just loved the result!!✨✨✨ Mimi was so sweet and nice. Sometimes it’s so hard to ask for the test, but she was showing me some options and got exactly what I need! Also love the shop. Very clean & neat. Best nail shop around here✨❤️

Jade Benson Jasmine did an exceptional job on my gel mani/pedi!!! Her customer service and conversation was so therapeutic and fun at the same time. The facility itself is beautiful. The inspirational quotes, pops of color in the decor, and lively music was just what I needed to start my day. Will be back over and over!

Nabilya F I’m beyond disappointed with my experience here. Going to the nail salon is supposed to be a relaxing, enjoyable experience—not stressful and frustrating. When I arrived, there wasn’t even a proper place to sit, which already set a bad tone. I booked a Russian manicure online but wasn’t familiar with what that entailed. I showed a picture of what I wanted, but the nail tech didn’t deliver, and the owner wasn’t helpful either. Instead of explaining things beforehand or offering guidance, the owner just said, “Well, that’s what it says online—structured.” How am I supposed to know what “structured” means if I’ve never had it done before? Other salons usually let me know if what I want will work for my nails, and I don’t mind paying extra for the look I want. But here, there was zero communication, and the nail tech didn’t warn me it wouldn’t work until after she started. To make matters worse, I waited 20 minutes past my appointment time (3:30) for Cheyenne to start, and when she did, she kept answering her phone, which slowed things down even more. For $100, I expected much better service—a hand massage, at the very least. Instead, I was told to rub in my own lotion and to pay at the door when she was done. The owner showed no empathy or willingness to fix the situation, and the whole experience was incredibly disappointing. I really wanted to like this place, but the lack of professionalism and care has completely turned me off. I’ve never felt this bad leaving a nail salon before, and I won’t be coming back. Look at the pictures below of what I got verses what I wanted which is the Frenchie set

Faye Ahmad I finally discovered a fantastic nail shop! Billie and Queenie are amazing when it comes to manicures. Its tough to find a salon that truly takes their time and cares about their craft, but Billie and Queenie exceed all expectations. If youre looking for great service at an affordable price, this is the spot for you!.

Tee Brooks I had Gel polish removed on my feet-$3.00 gel mani with design was $36, and regular mani is $20. I had the blonde short bob woman who sits by the pedicure station. Pressured to get gel on feet but was polite and left a little polish on my fingertips. She didn’t drill my nails for too long but she gave me extremely small slippers for my pedicure. However, the gel is peeling after only two days.

Courtney James I have finally found my home! Billy & Queenie are so patient with me and I always leave feeling refreshed. There is also no overly intense acetone scent upon entering. The decor is a welcome in itself. Plus the staff can do so many different nail designs! Instagram worthy at that! 5 Stars!

Rosalina Ball I cannot say enough good things about this nail salon! From the moment I walked in, I feel so welcomed and comfortable. Billy’s attention to detail is unmatched — he listens to exactly what I want and always exceeds all my expectations. Whether it’s a classic look or something more creative, he nails it (pun intended!). Their technique is flawless, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his craft. Plus, he makes the whole experience so enjoyable with his kind and friendly personality. If you’re looking for someone who is both talented and a joy to be around, Billy is your guy. Highly, highly recommend!

Wioletta Wojciechowska Red nails is the design I asked for Blue nails is what I got… The design is nothing like the picture. This is not ok… no artistic skill at all. Very disappointed in design and the pedicure is not done well either, I have left over polish on my toes and cut unevenly. Low effort overall. The salon is nice but the pictures speak for themselves. Would not recommend if you’re looking for anything with designs

Katherine Cuellar I always love coming here! They are always so kind and patient! I can show them a picture off of the internet and they do their best to recreate it! Cindy is great at designs and making your nails look absolutely beautiful! I am so happy with my current nails that were done today just in time for the holidays and graduation! :) Highly recommend that everyone comes and gives it a try!! :)

Mish M Nail polish never dried fully, even after sitting under the dryer for 40+ minutes. Not even a couple hours later the polish started chipping and peeling.

Annie Corenthal This is my favorite nail salon in the neighborhood. They are always so friendly and accommodating. They have a great selection of colors (in regular polish, gel, and sns) and do tips and powders perfectly. Here are my ghost nails for Halloween, an excellent reproduction from a photo I showed them. Also here are my funky chrome nails, my happy nails, and my flower power nails. Their sns always lasts for weeks without chips or separating.

Julia I’ve been going to this salon for the last 4 years (since it opened) and couldn’t be more happier! All girls are professionals and do an amazing job! On top of great service, they also serve me coffee and little treats! My nails have never looked so good as they do now. ❤️ here’s one of my many manicure at Be Happy Nails!

Julie Pinchev Best hardware manicure in Brooklyn, all the girls are very professional and nice. My nails always look amazing because of them. ❤️

Katarzyna Gawel Marina is very professional and listening to the client needs. She is also very friendly so you honestly feel like you are visiting your friend and the 2 hours just past very fast . But what is the most important for me she is putting attention to keep everything very very clean . So do not hesitate and book your next appointment with her. She is truly amazing!

Milana Feldman I just want to share how amazing this place is. Besides the fact that I love how they work, team is extremely nice, polite and caring. I always look forward to my morning coffee that is offered as soon I come and proffecionals beautiful manicure and pedicure that lasts for a very long time. Especially thankful for Marina! Highly recommend ❤️

gerri Love coming here for Russian pedicures. They do great work for a reasonable price and the technicians are super friendly. Good vibes here, would definitely recommend

E Benjamin Amazing, extremely clean neighborhood spot for your mani-pedi and more. Usually get the scub pedicure and regular mani. Always a good visit. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure you feel pampered from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is soothing, with soft music playing in the background and the scent of refreshing oils filling the air. They offer a variety of services, from classic manicures to luxurious spa treatments, ensuring theres something for everyone. Plus, their attention to hygiene is top-notch, with all tools sterilized and surfaces regularly cleaned. Whether youre getting ready for a special occasion or just indulging in some self-care, this place never disappoints.

Jessica Lawinski I’ve been coming to this location for almost 3 years and I cannot recommend it enough. The salon itself is always spotless. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Everyone is kind and welcoming. I’ve had manicures, pedicures, and chair massages and all of the services have been outstanding. I go in every 3 weeks and have never had a bad experience.

Paula V This place is absolutely AMAZING! My girl Sonia is the nicest, most professional technician I’ve ever met. She was so attentive to details and so thorough but at the same time super efficient. I definitely found my favorite spot and I recommend it 1000%. Everyone there is very kind and friendly and you don’t feel rushed at all! They clearly care about their customers! Ladies check them out, they’re fantastic!

Dildora Sotimova two stars because yes i have had a worser experience on 86th at a diff nail salon. I added what i wanted as the last picture, because i had to go somewhere else to fix them.. this was the most ridiculous experience ive ever had for a 120$ nail set…service is not reliable here. You either get a goodnail tech or a horrible one who lies and says this is good. Minka, if this is good idk what to say to you… this was last tear but im stil furious about the ignorance and the level of unprofessionalism. If you charge 100+ for nails, the make your service match.

Ragimova Kamila “Melany” So i got gel extensions that were originally 130$ but I also asked for some stats, which was 30$ extra... But the experience was overall great. My nail tech Malissa was super good at what she was doing. She was very professional and sweet. If I will come back Ill request her as my nail tech again. Just her service and talking to her made me loosen up and she made me feel comfortable.

Sara Kadosh I have been going to Lorena for 3 years now. She has learned my nails and knows exactly how to give me a gel manicure that lasts a month! No cracking or chipping, the only reason I cant go longer is because of nail growth otherwise the manicure stays intact. I usually get a regular pedi at the same time and it lasts just as long. Love all the ladies, friendly, warm and accommodating atmosphere.

Steffryz Love love! First time here and Loretta took her time with my nails. She paid very close attention to detail and gave me EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED. From the shape of the nail. To the color i described. And only for $35.. my new nail spot

Aurora Parkinson GREAT prices and atmosphere, got mood color change gel polish with golden specks for $28 and they really do give full treatement. The decor is also really nice and feels upscale without the upscale prices. Definitely sticking with it as my new place

Mobasera Chowdhury Thorough and takes their time with pedicures and nails. Massage chair is always a plus in a nail salon.

Lisa I finally found a great spot in the area:) I had Heather do my pedicure and manicure. She did a fill in for my gel and gave me a great callous removal. I will be coming back for sure.

Jennie L I’ve been going to Marigold for the past six months, and I can say Im always satisfied with their service. I get the Russian manicure every time, and my nails always turn out fresh, clean and beautifully cute, and my nails last 4+ weeks. They truly do amazing work, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch nail care!

Andreea Vlad Absolutely love this nail place! Marita, the owner, is a total boss and runs everything like a pro. Nadia is my go-to for nails, and she’s hands down the best—so precise, fast, and always makes sure my nails look perfect every time. Excellent service and consistently great results. If you want your nails done right, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Nicole C. Marita and her team at Marigold are truly exceptional! This is the place for a Russian manicure Marita is so skilled and gentle, and every design and color recommendation are always spot on - my nails have never looked better! Marita cares deeply about her work and her clients and it shows I highly recommend making an appointment!

Brooke Bifulco My nails lasted for so long. I have gone three or four weeks with with no chips or peeling. This place works miracles on nails. I always had weak and brittle nails. Marita and her team are incredible. I will never get my nails done anywhere else. I trust them for everything. I highly reccomend. This photo is from 4 weeks after my manicure. They are still perfect

Jada Lanae I’ve been going here for the past year and the service is always amazing! The owner Marita did my French manicure and I am in love with my nails! She is extremely detailed oriented and really cares about your vision and preferences. I have found my forever nail salon! Thank you Marita !!

Miasia Simone My tech is TEA does not disappoint, see photos below! Been coming here for years The owner is super sweet and accountable. Shell fix the nail and guide the nail tech on the proper execution of the clients request. (The girls love accountability) There are a few GREAT nail techs and lots of trainees. Pro tip- Make sure you pay attention Pro tip-Show pictures of exactly what you want Do this and you will have a great experience. Be patient and polite and you will receive the same in return. I do wish they were a bit more clean with the eyebrow waxing.

Moiya L The service use to be so good, I don’t know what happened. Did a regular gel manicure and my nails started chipping off within less than a week. Disappointed, will be going back to Amaryllis House of Beauty

jameson oyer Listen, you get what you pay for and I shouldve known better. They dont clean their tools properly or take care of cuticles right. I got a really bad infection, hurts like crazy. Its called paronychia. Middle finger is so swollen and red. Even though its cheap its not worth the pain Im feeling right now.

Anaya Ford Everyone here had such great energy! Positive vibes & good service. They were able to accommodate me ASAP upon walk in! Paid around $60 for short acrylic french tip which is unbeatable! Everyone should go here

Cynthia McBride I asked the nail tech to use clean tools and he still used a drill bit that had someone else’s skin on it. They don’t sanitize their commonly used tools. He did not massage my foot for 10 min and Im paying $75 for the full service. My nail also chipped the very next morning because the acrylic was thin and poorly applied. Not only that but they let anyone into the shop. A homeless man was able to enter the shop, come all the way to the back where I was getting a pedicure, grab my shoe and smell it and everyone laughed. The nail tech kept saying are you sure you don’t know him? It was very insulting and unprofessional. Can’t wait to find a better shop in my neighborhood.

Johanna Trivino I was really looking forward to getting my nails done at Ruchki da Nozhki Nail Lounge based on the reviews and pictures. However, after my experience, it’s unlikely that I will return. I came in for a Russian gel manicure and asked for a lavender/pink chrome. I confirmed multiple times with the front desk that they could do this color, and they assured me they could. Once the nail tech began, I requested to have my nails cut shorter. She cut my thumbs much shorter than the other fingers, creating a visible discrepancy. I asked her to match the lengths, which she did. Later, I noticed that there was still blue polish from my previous manicure left on my nails. I pointed this out, and she said she would fix it but never fully removed it. As she was about to apply the chrome, she asked another tech for help, which surprised me given the salons reputation for quality designs. She seemed flustered and confused, and when she applied the chrome, it was clear instead of the lavender/pink I requested. I let her know, and she consulted another tech, who mentioned they didn’t have the color I wanted, only green. Without informing me, they proceeded to apply the green chrome, but I immediately stopped them. They then offered me a few other options, but none were what I originally wanted. During this time, my original tech began attending to a new client without any regard for me. Another tech took over but then handed me back to my original tech, who was busy with her new client. A third tech was eventually called to finish my nails. Throughout this process, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issues, and the flip-flopping of techs was frustrating. When I went to pay, I explained to the manager that I didn’t want to pay for the chrome given the experience and the lack of the color I wanted. Instead of taking responsibility, she questioned why I didn’t refuse the chrome earlier. I explained that if I had known from the start that they didn’t have the color, I would have chosen a different solid color instead of the cloudy white base. Reluctantly, she agreed not to charge me for the chrome. This salon, where the manicure costs $137 (without tip), lacks consideration and accountability. The audacity to ask for a tip after such an experience is appalling. Tips should reflect good service, which I did not receive. The salon needs to be mindful of their clients and the experiences they provide, acknowledging when they fall short and offering appropriate compensation. Entitlement will only push away future clients.

Barbara Ibarra Beautiful nail salon and experienced nail artists. I had some issues with a chrome chipping over the holidays and wasn’t able to make it in to fix them and they fixed them free of charge and were super kind and apologetic. It’s super clean and they take their time. I was here for almost two hours while my artist worked diligently on my cuticles and nail shaping. I know it sounds like a long time but she was just working to be so precise. I’ll be coming back again and again.

Lilian Takahashi I’ve been coming here for a few years but usually just for pedicures. I got a building gel refill today and it was great. Asya was attention and really understood what I wanted in my nail design. I showed her a picture and she was able to adjust colors the design based on our conversation. She did a great job with my cuticles and nail shape.

Heresia Hayes This establishment is beautiful and very clean. The nail technicians are kind. However, they are not excellent at their job and are very expensive in my opinion. I got my nails done, a regular mani-pedi, nothing fancy at all. It cost me $37 and that’s with the 20% off. My paint started chipping a few hours later. I came back the next day and the lady was very upset and insinuated that I did not let my nails dry long enough. The lady actually checked my nails before I left. She rubbed my nails and no paint came off. I also sat and dried my nails for 15 mins. Here I am again and she did my nails over again. I sat and dried my nails for 30 mins. I also believe they over charged me because the other women were only charged $32. I definitely want to file a complaint about this business. I am not happy and I also think I was cheated out of my money. I am really trying to find a great nail salon in Brooklyn. But so far I have been very disappointed. Pictures are of my nails from a few hours later and also of my nails the second time around. Paint still chipping away. Update: June 11, 2019 more paint is chipping away.

H. Kaity (MissKaity) Very nice place. Looks like it is under new management compared to when i read the old reviews on Yelp and Google. Everyone was very solicitous and courteous. I had a Groupon deal and didnt get treated differently like what other reviews stated.

Anthony Parris The place looks very nice. Everything looks very clean. I had a really good tech who took her time and gave me great service. My partner is tech watch the experience and ask for money while he was still in the chair after his pedicure. She didnt even let him dry his nails under the dryer before asking for payment. I thought that was pretty rude and I feel like a two-star rating is just because of her. I wont be returning.

Aleah N. Ranjitsingh Went in today for a regular mani/pedi. Called this morning and made an appointment for 12. Great customer service from the moment I walked in. The woman who did my pedicure and manicure was great. She helped me choose a nail polish color. There isnt a great variety but even with that, I had a hard time choosing. The predicure was well done and j enjoyed the foot massage and leg massage. She also did a great job on my manicure. I enjoyed the massage. I will go back again!

jennifer uva Surprised by all the bad yell reviews and feel the Google reviews are more on track. Went here in memorial day and the place was empty. Was quickly seated and handed a cup of green tea. Service was friendly and quality was good. Had a decent selection of colors for regular and gel polish. Would go back again.

Yin Smart I have visited this place twice. I always have to wait 10-15 minutes for attention which normally will discourage me from going anywhere (I mean, that’s why I set up an appointment in the first place) but since they always good job and I’m always happy with the final result I can tolerate it. The service both times has been good, the staff is very professional and patience with me (Sometimes I can be indecisive with the colors). Would I recommend this place? Well, I walk 1.2 miles just to go to this place instead of going to a different nail salon closer to me (And GOD know there are a lot of them), so yes, I do.

Trin Jam Sandys Nail & Spa is truly a spa day experience. I walked in for a gel manicure & spa pedicure. Her salon was clean, organized & inviting. Everyone was professional. The experience was top notch as always. Best 4 hours of decompression ever. The owner asked me what I wanted & I said something bright & fun. What Sandy does is creative so I trust her creativity. We discussed the colors & design & she went to town, first we did my manicure. Then it was time for my spa pedicure, I chose the detox spa treatment. The spa pedicure with the hot stones & the massage chair just melted the stress away. My legs felt amazing & looked relaxed too. I would highly recommend the spa pedicure it costs more than a regular pedicure, but you get what you pay for. i would say to the people who want it but want to haggle on the price.....Sandys Nail & Spa is not for you.

Melissa Seales I visited 3-4 years ago. There used to be an upstairs set up. But now the shop is located downstairs. I’m telling the receptionist, that it looks so different, and she’s telling me that it’s always like this. I’m explaining to her that I’m not new here, I just haven’t been here in a while, and she’s basically stating that my thoughts are invalid, and wrong. I received an attitude, and just walked out… this wasn’t the same Sandy 3-4 years ago. The prices have increased as well.

Angie De Leon I had a very disappointing experience with Sandy at [Salon Name]. I reached out to her to book a specific time for my appointment, which she confirmed. I ran a few minutes late and messaged her ahead of time to let her know. However, when I arrived, she had already started working on another client. Her response was, ‘What was I supposed to do, wait for you?’ which I found rude and unprofessional. Furthermore, there was another staff member available who could have assisted me, but Sandy denied that option. I felt disrespected and unappreciated as a customer, and I won’t be returning.

Anupam Chopra This was my first pedicure, ever. I went for the deluxe which comes with massage and other extras. Melina took amazing care of me, she was gentle, skilled, welcoming, and friendly with her tools and touch. Although a bit ticklish during the massage, she made sure to be wary and minimize that. Hours later, my feet are so smooth and I am super relaxed.

Galina Magidova Got gel manicure there 2 days ago, it cracked on the first day and started chipping on the second day.

Sara Kolodziejski I had an 11:30 appointment for a gel manicure. When I arrived I was of the only People in there but they started to get busy. Whoever was taking the gel off my nails began rushing because they were “getting backed up.” I picked a color that apparently was a black with a shimmer on top of it. It was supposed to be gunmetal grey. But the swatch didn’t have a number so apparently she guessed. I said something about the color being wrong and she ran for a different shimmer. Long story short I left with a totally different color than I asked for, was talked to like an idiot when I pointed out what I got vs what I wanted. She was putting on so many layers that I assumed it would eventually be correct. It wasn’t and I paid $40 for a manicure that was entirely not the color I wanted. Which I’m now stuck with for two weeks unless I want to pay again. I came here hoping to finally find a good place in the area and was sadly mistaken.

angela berger After over 15 years of going to this nail salon, I have to change from 5 stars to 2. There has been a decline in service. For the price charged for services, the service received should be worth the price. Peeling or shattered polish. But thats not all. Owner can get nasty and disrespect when asked to fix color, or anything while sitting in shop. Needless to say I was mortified when I was last there as owner was actually mean to me. That was the last time I was there.

Angela Stompanato This is literally the only place I have ever gotten my nails done. They do a fantastic job each and every time. Very clean, and they don’t rush when doing your nails. The owner Song and her staff are so lovely. They are accommodating and treat you like family here. As long I live in Brooklyn it is the only place I will go to for my nails.

1220Shakes I have been having my nails done here for more than 10 years. What flips me out is when I am somewhere else and people compliment me on my nails, I always tell them to go to Grace Nails and ask for Song. She draws the design on my nails each time I visit, freehand. Works of art.

Paige Rotondo Lilly is an absolute wizard with nails. She can literally do anything under the sun. She is also so kind and patient (for those who need guidance on what they want). Stop everything and go visit her!

India Korey Lilly is the best!! I am so impressed by my first two manicures with her. Definitely recommend for gelx. Shes my go to now!

Georgina Greenleaf Always a great experience getting my nails done with Lilly! Quality experience and attention, and exquisite nail art. Highly recommend for all nail needs, plain gel to one-of-a-kind designs!

Chelsie Sunde such a great location + studio + very easy next day appointment booking when I had a nail break! lilly is so friendly and does a great job. pricing is very clear and easy to understand too. definitely returning!!
