Nothing but good experiences every time I come here for manicure and pedicure. Now with COVID-19 you need to call first to make an appointment, but I sometimes I call the same day and they always accommodate me . If I know is going to be a busy week, like Valentine's or Christmas , I call the day before. I been to other places and the gel manicure doesn't last more than one week and half. Since I come here my gel mani lasts like 3 weeks or more. I love pedicures, I need them ! I do a lot of exercises and my feet are always a mess. They nail technician knows so she tries really hard to give me the best pedicure she can. The place is clean, they amicable , big spaces, COVID-19 Protection, 6 feet apart and they always wearing mask and gloves. Near my workplace I always come here during the week after work, 3 ladies are always working non stop. Tuesday are closed. Recommended ! read more

Been coming here for 10 years. I've tried a bunch of places in Manhattan (near my home, various jobs) and I finally learned my lesson to just keep coming here. Last stop on the N/W. Love their acrylic (powder) and it lasts me 3 weeks at the absolute minimum, 4 weeks on average, and 5 if I'm careful; that makes it roughly $11/week. See pics for results. read more

This used to be my go to nail salon. Not anymore. I came here NYE and got gel manicure done which peeled off in less than a week. I came back to get the gel removed in order to get a regular manicure and it was disaster. The nail tech originally working on my nails filed down the gel and put the cotton with the acetone and wrapped them in foil to let them soak. Instead of coming back to work on my nails, she went to work on someone else and gave me an inexperienced nail tech who pretty much destroyed my natural nails. She started off by filing down my natural nails more to get the gel off instead of using the scraping tool to remove the excess. Then cut my cuticles dry and cut my skin. I asked her if she's supposed to have my hands soak in water and use the cuticle oil on my cuticles, she huffed and the original tech said yes, that's what she's supposed to do. So she puts the oil and starts cutting at my cuticles again. I paid her and gave her a tip and she started to paint my nails. It was lumpy, the polish wasn't staying on because my nails still had the gel on it. I asked her to remove it and told her that she didn't get all the gel off, so the original tech sent someone else to take over. This time the 3rd tech comes and starts filing at my nail bed again. So I told her to please stop filing my nails and to use the tool to scrape the remaining gel off and she just kept filing. At this point, I was annoyed, I was already there for an hour and managed to get a parking ticket. I looked at the first tech and told her I'm leaving and that she should have an experienced person do the work. I had a terrible experience with just a plain manicure. I'm pissed that they ruined my natural nails and I actually had to pay for their crappy work. Zero stars is more like it. Update: the same evening i decided to paint my nails at home. my nails were so weak from the abuse they all tore down to the nail bed had to use peroxide and bandaids for days to stop the bleeding. read more

Blooming Nail & Spa - the result of a terrible nail technician - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

It took half a dozen overpriced gel manis, a handful of short-lasting regular manicures, and a truly sloppy acrylic set to finally get me to stop going to every single salon between 30th ave and Broadway and finally take my poor hands to this spot up by 21st ave that all my coworkers recommend. I came here for the first time back in February for a fill in on aforementioned sloppy tips, and was seriously impressed with the amount of time and care that went into it. I'm pretty sure they gave this fill-in more attention and precision that the person at the salon who put the tips on initially. This alone was great. Went for another fill and was equally pleased. A month after removing my tips, I was ready to take another leap of faith and get a fresh set at Blooming and seriously, can't stress enough what a great job they did. The gentleman who applied my nails, I believe his name is John, really went the extra mile in shaping the tips, making sure they were even, and thinning them out to look natural. Stiletto shape costs extra, but at a grand total of $33, I think it's 200% worth it. I'm so happy to have a spot I can come to regularly - so far so good! read more

Blooming Nail & Spa - Acrylic set with Gel polish $48 - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

Clean, polite, staff & surroundings...variety of gel colors, very pleasant demeanor from all staff.

This place is hit or miss. I've been here over a dozen of times and left extremely happy but there's also been times that have gotten me frustrated. One thing that's always consistent when I go, customer service is always great. Everyone who works there is always smiling and laughing. I'm always greeted with hellos and how are you. Definitely no problems there. Clean salon, great choice of colors, just sucky acrylic materials. Multiple times I've gone there and less then a week later 1 or 2 nails pop off. I thought it was me but upon trying other salons and my nails stay perfect for 2 weeks plus.. I knew they had to be the problem at blooming. Although, it is a convenient location and happy smiles is what brings me back. I got a fill in last week and they are still great a week later. Praying that they stay this way.. I paid a total of $51 not including tip. ($18 pedicure + $18 fill in with $10 gel polish + $5 design). I love that they are open to being creative with design even when they don't advertise. I think it's one of the owners that usually does my nails and she's great with listening to my crazy ideas with my nails. Anyway, nails this time are great, they just need to be more consistent. I will probably go back again if these nails pass the 2 week test! Oh and yeah, sadly no shoulder rubs :( read more

Blooming Nail & Spa - Acrylic fill in, gel polish and design - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

I used to love getting pedicures here and getting my nails done when I used to do acrylic ,but the last two times I've been here they rushed even though they weren't busy. It was a terrible experience, no attention to detail even though I asked prior to painting if she could do the design. It's disappointing to spend $120 for nails and toes and you hate them. read more

Let's start from the fact that no one in this place speaks at least 50% english. I came in for manicure and pedicure. I asked if they have gel nail polish without a UV lamp. They said yes. So I picked the color and also agreed for spa pedicure. Sitting and relaxing on the massage chair... Next thing I know my hand is in the UV lamp. I desided- it's ok at least it will stay for 2 weeks. My spa pedicure included 5 min of extremely painful massage even after I told them that it's painful. As a result I'm limping now and can't fully step on my foot. For this unpleasant experience I be been charged $60. In the end they hurried me to the dryer for my feet. Although I had enough time to sit a little longer and fully dry my toes, the lady who did my pedicure approached me and started wrapping my feet into a plastic, putting my socks on and rushing me out. I asked her if she thinks it's dry and she said "Yes!" So I left. I went to pick up my laundry. As I was folding it I noticed that one of my nails is already chipped. I went back. They fixed it for me by putting 3 more coats of nail polish on top and drying it in the lamp. So I left again. As soon as I came home a significant part of nail polish on that finger (the one had 6 coats of polish) came off. And 3 toes are destroyed by that plastic that they wrapped on my feet. Disaster! TOTAL WAIST of $60! Worst experience I've ever had Look at the pictures attached! This is the quality of mani/pedi you can get in this salon. read more

Ive been coming here for the past year every 2-3 weeks and can say I've never been disappointed. After going to place around the Ditmars area this place is a little bit higher but worth it. I've never felt judged and have only had to wait for 30 minutes ONCE. I've recently started getting UV Sculpting gel with a gel nail polish on top and will never look back again! I am so tough in my nails and now they literally NEVER chip and last so long! Adding another picture six months later with my latest set. I love them!!! Also the lady who does eyebrow waxing is on point!!! read more

My sister needed to get her nails done last minute. Taking a chance for it already being last minute, we went to Blooming Nail & Spa, and we were greeted by Linda and Emma. The salon was very clean and sanitary unlike some of the salons we were in and out of right away that day. The work stations were clean. Linda and Emma provided some photos and pictures of some designs that they had done for their clients and some designs that even the clients brought in and they did for the client. It was A class service all the way from being greeted when we walked in and their recommendation for nail care and skin care for my sister when we were done. read more

I've been coming here religiously for 5-6 years every two to three weeks. And the last two times I've come 1 hour before closing and they refused service, because it is too late. Don't put your hours until 8 if your last time is 7. There are too many nail salons on Ditmars for them to think that they are that important. The service is okay, nothing is waste postage to tell someone about. read more

Despite the average reviews, I have had nothing but good experiences at this nail salon since moving to ditmars last year. Regular manicure, gel manicure, powder, pedicures - all have been good. So much better than other salons in Astoria and Manhattan that come out terrible. read more

My experience with this nail salon has been a whirlwind. I live 3 houses away and it is super convenient. I WISH this place was better but after my most recent visit I will not come back again. This used to be the Ritz which has now moved to Steinway... after they changed name and management it was good. Attentive staff, better prices and service. That was just a brief moment in time. Now, sadly, it is even worse than the original. I came here on a weeknight at 8:38pm and asked for a regular mani/pedi... the manager told me "we close at 9"... okay fair enough. The business always used to close at 10pm on weeknights which is another reason I kept going... as I am about to leave 2 more ladies walk in and ask for a mani/pedi... the manager says we close at 9... then one of the women says well can I just get a pedi? the manager agreed they had time to just do pedis - so we all get pedi's... this said manager who was clearly in a rush to get out of there did mine. She used cold water in the foot tub, did not fill it up all the way and did a half a$$ job. As I am getting this awful pedi... another woman comes in! asking for a mani/pedi. So you have 4 women who want a service and turn them away because you would have been open 20 extra minutes? this doesn't seem like a smart business move to me. Everyone there was under the impression the place closed at 10pm. At least put a sign on the door. So back to the pedi... finally she brings me to the drying station, no massage. Then she tells me $18!!! I couldn't believe it. So I come back later in the week to get the mani I never got... same bad service, no neck rub... NEVER AGAIN... word of advice to the business owner... find a better manager. Word of advice to customers - DON'T DO IT. Go to Blossom up the block, cheaper and waaaay better service. read more

I've been going there for several months for regular gel manicures and I have become a very loyal fan. The technicians are skilled and nice and also very patient (even when you're being picky about the color or design.) My nails are very healthy despite the stress of constant gel manicures and the manicures last several weeks often growing out before the start to chip or peal. Occasionally I manage to chip a nail right after getting the manicure and they always find a way to give it a quick fix and never charge me for it. Of course the place is very clean and sanitary. They also have a nice deal on a gel mani and regular pedi ($40) which is what used to draw me in on occasion. But I really enjoyed the gel manis I decided to do them regularly ($25 + extra depending on special designs). I had to write a review because I just was in there and made them go back and forth on the colors and restart my design twice to get it how I had it in my head. And they still managed to remain cheerful even as I was the last customer and they were closing up. read more

Be weary. If you don't have an appointment they won't necessarily take you on "a first come basis". I was here and waited 20 minutes for a manicure. They took someone who walked in after me. When I brought it to their attention they made pretend not to understand English. Don't waste your time. Much better places in Astoria. read more

This yelper Sherry C is a joke! she was rude and disturbed my service. she has no clue how difficult it is to run a shop, its much easier to hide behind a screen and to yelp nothing but negative things (all her reviews are negative-great way to support local buisnesses)...this spot does get busy but it because they are doing something right! very clean and as far as her ignorant comment about "pretending" to not speak english, wow!!! i was right there and they were professional enough to just hear her bs rant and not talk back...not me...Sherry get a new hobby! seriously read more

I have been going to this nail salon for over 3 years. I am so glad they opened up when the state said they could. They are wearing masks and gloves and distancing everyone plus they have plexi - glass between us and them. They do fabulous work. Great massages too. read more

I came and asked if I could get my nails done and they told me to come in 30 mins and so I did. When I came back they said they were closed and to come back tomorrow (yeah, sure). Kudos, are you aware of the fact that you are not the only one player out there and there are other 10 nail salons in the same street and you don't provide anything more than them either in term of price and service and you actually lost a new client? Great strategy. read more

I will never come here again. Horrible pedicure they take a whole 20 mins. Barley do anything to your feet. I was done with my pedicure and they just had me sitting there. Did not let me know who was going to do my manicure. Just horrible customer service. read more

This place doesn't even deserve the one star. Horrible and rude management... Horrible service... (I had to ask her to remove the nail polish from my skin and to file my nails straight because they were crooked). They scam you and give you services that you never asked for and make you pay. Save your money and go somewhere else! I finally got my fiancé to agree to a mani/pedi, so we decided to try this place out. We asked for the advertised $19.99 mani/pedi and the girls understood. When we sat down, they asked us which scent we wanted and pointed at the wall... It said $35 dollars but since the girls understood that we wanted the $19.99 deal, I thought it was part advertised deal. Once we were about to get the mani, the woman asked us to pay and said it will be $80. I said, "no, the mani/pedis are $19.99." She proceeded to tell us that we asked for the extra spa treatment. I never asked for an extra spa treatment. All we wanted was a quick mani/pedi. The woman kept disagreeing and arguing and didn't want to make a scene so I decided to call to speak to the manager.. The number went straight to the voicemail... So, we went back in. When I was calmly speaking to the manager, she and all the workers were laughing! HORRIBLE customer service... She said, you need to read the signs. I told her, "you specifically heard me say I wanted the $19.99 deal." She said, "that's not my problem!" I could not believe what I was hearing! (And the store number is her cell number and her phone was dead...) I don't know what kind of business she runs but it is the worst experience I have had when getting my nails done! read more

ive been going there every two weeks for the past years and would have to agree with Laura C. they are the best. They are a little bit more expensive then most nails spots but at least you know they are giving you good service. The most Ive ever had to wait was 20 min and thats because I went on a saturday which is there busiest day. Everything they use for your pedicure is new and they have taken care or my acrylic nails better than other places ive gone. I would definitely recommend to all my friends. read more

Deserves less than one star! Very rude! And they charge $5 to take off nail polish. Last I checked, that was part of getting a manicure. She did a half ass pedicure for $18. Never going back! read more

The place is very clean and sanitary, but that's the only consistently positive thing about this place. I live in the neighborhood and have been here several times, but the quality of service has been so hit or miss lately that I will not be returning after my last, nightmarish visit. They are always so busy and while I don't mind waiting a while for my turn, I definitely do mind sloppy service meant to get me out the door as quickly as possible. In my last visit I wanted my gel manicure removed and a new regular manicure. My manicurist left the acetone wraps on my nails while helping other customers until over 20 minutes had passed and my fingers started burning. She removed my polish with a file so roughly that she actually cut my finger and broke skin. She had similar roughness with pushing back my cuticles. I kept flinching and she kept apologizing for hurting me but continued to be rough with my hands for the entirety of my visit. After all was said and done, my manicure looked very disappointing. Please see attached pictures of the bubbles on each nail, a small hair, cuts on my fingertip, and scratched up skin. I didn't even want to ask them to correct this bad manicure-- I just wanted to get out of there! It's also worth noting that the girl sitting next to me got a powder manicure that left all of her fingertips stained hot pink!! While I have had good experiences here once or twice in the past (hence 2 stars instead of 1), the risk of having another experience like my last one is enough to keep me from ever coming back. Astoria has a lot of other nail salons to choose from. read more

I go see Emma every 5 weeks or so for a Pink and White Perma-Gel fill - the best manicure I've ever gotten! The entire staff is friendly and attentive. It's true, sometimes it's super busy and walk-ins have to wait a bit but that's because it's a great salon! They accept appointments so calling ahead of time might be worth it. The prices are great and they're open late. So happy I found this gem :) read more

$50.00 for absolutely nothing. i am extremely angry with what i got today. I asked the lady "Can you do this? If not, I will get a regular color" she told me she could and that it wouldn't be a problem. I would've been happy with a regular color. These are the pictures of what i asked for vs what I received. read more

Was the go to nail salon for years but after the way I was treated today I will never go back. Had a manicure yesterday but polish on one finger chipped off. Went today to see if they could repair but couldn't remember the name of the color I used. One girl tried to help me find the color but then passed me off to another girl. This second girl showed me a color and when I said that wasn't it she actually threw the bottle down and walked away. I walked out but went back to complain to the manager. I explained I was nothing but nice and was apologizing for not remembering the color but her employee was beyond rude to me. Manager actually was defending her employee's behavior. I told them if you consider me too much of a pain in the ass I won't come back. The girl did not spend more than three minutes with me before she threw that bottle down. If they think that is appropriate behavior in any situation they have absolutely no business sense. read more

I used to go to this place when it was under the old owners and was always happy. Now that they've changed management, the service is really bad. I went in for a mani-pedi. The pedi was ok, but I had gel on my nails which had to be removed before getting a regular mani. The technicians don't know what they are doing. One of them tried sanding the gel off my nails as I sat in the pedicure chair, with a nail file. It hurt like hell so I made her stop. Then, the girl that did my pedi took me to her station and used the electric sander which was fine, but she was supposed to sand just a little bit off then soak my nails in acetone. She sanded MY NATURAL NAIL all the way down! No soaking at all. I looked at my nails when she was done and my instinct was to tell her not to paint my nails and thank god i did because I was suddenly in a lot of pain. I had intense nerve pain for 2 days and its been about a week now and all of my nails are paper thin and extremely sensitive. I'll never go back there. read more
