Pedicure was not good, I left with rough skin on my heels and my cuticles barely cut. The pedicurist did NOT massage my calfs or feet, only the front of my legs (the shin) and it was horrible, mind you she applied no pressure at all, saying rubbed is too generous. LINDA the manicurist was very rude and condescending. I had asked her to cut my nails short and she replied with "Then you have no nail left" (please refer to photo my nails were VERY LONG when I came in) So she cut them a drop more very sarcastically, and I said no can you please cut them shorter, and she said "then you have no nail" , I had plenty of nail at this time. I said I like them short can you please do a little more......I can tell she was annoyed and said "Ok you want short no problem" and she ANGRILY and QUICKLY snipped my nails away.... She TOOK HER ANGER OUT and CLIPPED MY NAILS ridiculously short. Please see before and after photo. I then saw she began to file my nails square without asking, so I said politely can you make them more round. She says "Round you want round?" And she ANGRILY and QUICKLY again filed my nails so round they literally looked like cones..... this is when I knew she was a heartless stressed out individual. I was not going to tip but I did anyway and gave her $2 for doing my gel mani. She looked at me and said "Really?" And then started talking about me in Chinese and the whole place was laughing. When I went to pay the young guy at the counter seemed to be annoyed I gave her a $2 tip also and said nothing , he put his hand out waving for the money and when I gave him the $50, he shooed me away to leave the store. I will not be returning because the salon is full of very rude unprofessional individuals. Staten Island has a million nail salons so remember that next time you treat your customers this way. read more

Blooming Nails Spa - Before&after Linda(manicurist) ANGRILY &spitefully clipped all my nail away,after annoyed of my request to make my nails shorter - Nail Salons Near Me - Staten Island, New York

This place is nice. However, Linda is extremely rude and unprofessional. If you get your nails done at Blooming Nails, do yourself a favor and stay away from Linda. She completely ignores you if you ask her a question and makes it seem like you are a bother to her. She is not friendly at all, and she creates such a bad vibe and an uncomfortable experience. Blooming Nails is losing customers because of Linda's horrible attitude. Not satisfied. read more

I have to update my review. It hasn't even been a week and my gel manicure chipped like crazy. Three nails broke and seven chipped. I am so disappointed. I always use OPI gel and this never happens. I'm sad I cheated on my regular nail place. Never again. read more

Very good place. Quality manicure and pedicure. I love how when they do gel manicures they don't file down your nail and damage it. Got a pedicure by a very sweet woman named Nina (or Lina, don't really remember the name) and she was so thorough, used a scrub, massaged my legs and feet with oil, used hot stones, and put lotion on my feet. Also, their water has gorgeous rose petals in it AND THEY LINE THE TUBS FOR EVERY CLIENT SO ITS 110% CLEAN!! Pedicure was $25, slightly pricier than the norm but definitely worth it. Gel manicure was $25 and worth it as well. I will absolutely be returning here. read more

Decent. Used to be a lot better when they first opened. Pedicures are rushed now. I live close by and they are fairly clean (they use plastic in the pedicure sinks and disposable tools) but overall they are nothing great. I was getting acrylic here for awhile and they ruined my real nails by filing down so much and leaving red painful rings as well as nicking me with the drill. I just sat down for a regular manicure today and the girl took the drill out on me! I said no no - she said oh I wanted to clean your cuticles. With a drill!?! It just shows they want to do whatever is fast and don't care. read more

I agree with others that they are not professional...i was asked several times if I wanted a pedicure with my fill-in but I sing have time. I waited for over a half hour while they repeatedly took pedicure customers over to the manicure tables...even after 2 of the manicurists finished with their customers, they made themselves busy eating, cleaning, talking, etc. and never said a word to me. I don't mind waiting but it was done in a very disrespectful manner. I finally walked out. Also pretty expensive. read more

I have always gotten my nails done at Bella on Richmond Rd. and while I loved the work they did, it wasn't conveniently located for me anymore. I have been looking for a new nail spot on the South Shore for a while and I have to say - I am really happy with the work at Blooming. The atmosphere is really nice, they do fantastic pedicures, and I love the way they do my nails. Definitely found my new spot. read more

So when my daughter Brittany Gonzalo and My sons gf Maree Natasha went for a manicure/pedicure at Blooming Nails on Page Ave, Staten island, the woman CoCo who was giving Britt a spa pedicure (with a lit candle on the pedicure station) poured out acetone by the flame setting her hands on fire & setting my daughters shoe on fire!!! Omg how dangerous & stupid!!! How poorly trained could they be?? Are they really licensed?? They don't even speak English, and that's another major problem. You can't communicate with them!! The owners seeing her burnt hands, my daughter said red, swollen, blistered, even made her continue to do the pedicure after she was burned!!! Britt said the poor woman could barely move her hands, let alone give a pedicure!!!And.....Blooming Nails never even apologized to my daughter and actually made her pay for her manicure and pedicure!!! They wouldn't even honor her BD coupon!!!!WTF is wrong with this business!! TG Britt didn't get hurt, just very shaken up!!! read more

I went here yesterday to remove acrylic and get a gel manicure. Tina did my nails and it was a HORRIBLE experience. Not only did she try to fill in my acrylic 3x after I said to remove them, she nicked my cuticles, cut my nails down to the nail bed after we had decided on length, and she gave me a lumpy, uneven gel. Even before I sat down, I had requested the color I want (that she also did not get) and she gave me an attitude as if I had interrupted her break. Very rude and unprofessional. I will be sticking with Viva. read more

Blooming Nails Spa - horrible gel manicure done by Tina - Nail Salons Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I got a pedicure and they didn't even cover all my toenails and it started to peel off the next day. I won't be going back.

I broke my nails after a week and I went back and they fixed it for free. I was going in expecting to pay maybe $5 a nail but they did not charge me. I love this place and I am glad that I found out about them on Instagram. My nails have lasted longer than any other place that I have gone to in a long time. Can't wait to get my nails done again. read more

I'm usually very picky with nails especially gels cause I like them to look natural as opposed to thick and fake. Will & Nika do amazing nails, he's also quick so your not sitting there for hours on end. I've had pedicures here too and they're fairly good, if you communicate effectively and say exactly what you want you will get a great result. Staff are always friendly, the place is clean and sterile, there's attention to detail & they're reasonably priced. read more

I will probably never go here again. I needed gel polish removed and a quick manicure.. I didn't care about how my nails looked for the manicure but removing the gel was an absolute horror. The girl had no idea how to take it off and literally ripped my nail beds off.. my nails were so strong and long and are now small week nubs. $13 for a torture manicure... never again. read more

Love this place. Won't say my girl's name because I want to keep her for myself! Never have to wait (I call about an hour before), they do an amazing job. Super clean, never smells bad like other nail salons, ladies are all nice. I drive in from new jersey just to come here, that's how great they are. read more

I came to Blooming Nails after my past three gel manicures from Viva turned brown within a week of getting them. Yuki did my nails. She was very pleasant and thorough. Another lady showed me the polishes while Yuki was working on me. Two things I didn't like about my experience - she filed my old gel manicure off instead of soaking my nails. Second the man at the front had me sign up for a VIP club that you earn points for every service you get done. I signed up and asked if I get the points today and he told me no because I had allready paid. I'm going to see how long this gel manicure lasts. If I can get three weeks from it like I did at Viva ( without my nails turning) I'll be back at Blooming. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I really tried to give this place a chance by coming in 3-5 times before posting this. But the only girl that was nice to me was Mia who did my pedicure. I had a fill in once that was over in 30 minutes. Never in my life have I been finished so quickly. Next visit I was rushed out because Linda had a regular who was coming in after me. None of my nails were the same length or width. She told me it was my nail bed. I tried again with a different person and my appointment was put in for a different day than I requested. They offered for me to go to someone else but I was over giving my money away. Won't go back. read more

I get acrylic & gel. I'm really rough with my hands & I'm a hairdresser so my hands are constantly in water. It lasts me 3 weeks and it stays perfect !! Yuki is the best, highly recommend. read more

I went to this place when they first opened up and it was my favorite place until they stop doing the Nice stuff- like offer you a bottle of water or make the presentation of your pedicure nice. I went there last week to get a manicure and the next day my finger was BLOWN UP. I couldn't move my finger. I went to the doctors and they said I got this serious inflection from the nail salon because they use dirty tools. I will never go back! When I called them, the girl was so nasty on the phone with me and was like not my place- were clean. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Very disappointed with what went on here today. Got tips put on and aside from receiving cuts all over my hands, I had to return later because they were causing physical pain. They were removed but I was told I wouldn't be refunded and if I wanted them done again I'd have to pay again. I was then compared to a person who eats half of their meal at a restaurant and then expects a refund because they're unhappy. I don't understand how you could disrespect someone who came to you for a service and asked you to fix it because it wasn't done correctly. And then to be rude and insulting? Very surprised. I'm usually very happy leaving this place. Thanks for showing your true colors. Never again. read more

This place is great. Walked in without an appointment for a full set of tips and only waited 10 minutes on a busy Sunday afternoon. Will did my nails carefully and beautifully. Salon is super clean and pretty. They offer free drinks and have a VIP card which gives you discounts etc. and pulls up all of your info when you scan it when you arrive. First time customers get 20% off and they gave me a $10 and $5 coupon to use on future visits. I will definitely be back. read more

By far one of the best pedicures I've had recently. Be mindful though to bring cash. I didn't give it 5 stars because the woman at the register wanted to charge me 8 dollars more to use a debit card - and there were no signs posted about this. I ended up having cash on me, however she did not point out that their ATM machine only charged a 1 dollar fee until after I said I have the cash. She would have let me pay an extra 8 dollars... not the best customer service in my opinion and kind of seems like a scam. I understand that the company they use charges them more than normal to take card payments, but this should definitely be posted and she could have mentioned the ATM fee was significantly less sooner rather than later. Aside from that, very clean place and they do a good job. read more

got a quick gel manicure, which lasted pretty good. the place seems clean.

I just started going to this salon a few months ago. I've been getting the gel manicure which I just love. My only issue is I have to go every 2 weeks because the polish tends to chip and lift at the bottom of the nails. I'm not sure if that's because I wash my hands a lot or if it could be because of the quality of the polish. They give great pedicures, go for the spa pedicure, it's worth it. They are also very clean! read more

I came to this place when they first opened and had no one there. I really liked the owner she was very pleasant. I got a gel manicure and it was good. I then went to get tips put on and the only person there that does a good job is the guy by the TV. Everyone else is sloppy. I had nails from one girl that were to thick another one did a French that was so sloppy I was embarrassed. The pedicure that I received was ok nothing amazing though. I gave this place multiple tries but in the end there are only two ppl there that are worth it and they are always busy. read more

Usually go here all the time. Today I went at 6 when they closed at 7:30. I asked if they had time for a gel manicure (which only takes about 25 minutes and three workers were not doing anything) and they replied "you should've came sooner" with a complete attitude. Don't go, rude and unprofessional. read more

I tried this place based off of yelp reviews, their Instagram page and a friend recommendation. I regret having come here at all. Linda did my gel manicure and almost immediately became short with me as I couldn't find a color I liked. Instead of helping me, she just tried pushing any color on me. My sister's wedding is tomorrow and I needed something to compliment both my bridesmaid dress as well as my dress for the reception. After finally finding one, she began to fix one nail and trimming the others. This nail spa's idea of a 'trim' is absurd. I came in with long healthy nails and left with stubs. To make matters worse one hand has longer nails than the other. As she was filing my nails so roughly, I asked her to be gentle and she had a problem which grew when I complained they were crooked. I'm not talking a tad; it was highly noticeable. After which, she all but globbed the gel on that it took forever to dry. I have never had a gel manicure finished in under 30 minutes but there you have it. There was no care or thought at all and the experience was so bad it's unforgettable. I wish I could say the pedicure was better but that was lackluster to the max and rushed as well. It's unbelievable that there is seemingly no nail place on the island who cares about customer satisfaction or providing a great experience. I might as well just do my nails myself -- my manicure lasts longer and my nails aren't crooked. read more

got a very bad infection from doing the spa pedicure. I've been going to this place for a while now and NEVER had an issue, until a week ago. I had a very small cut on the top of my big toe, I asked the woman to just be careful. she went on to do the spa treatment, and whatever kind of chemicals they soak those white little paper towel looking like things, that they wrap around the bottom of your foot, before they saran wrap it, ate away the top layer of my skin where I had my cut, and started eating the flesh as well. I told the woman that my big toe felt like it was burning, on fire like, and asked her to please take everything off, and when she did I had a hole on the top of my foot. . she told me, "don't worry, it will heal" stupid me didn't think anything of it, just to go home and put some antibacterial cream and a band aid to cover it up with. well a week later, the hole got deeper, and redness started to develop around the open sore. I went to the doctor and found out that it was infected and now I'm on antibiotics to treat it. If the antibiotics don't work within 3-5 days, I have to go see a podiatrist. Never in my life have I experienced something like this. They should have never even touched my foot if I had a scratch on it, and should have told me to wait until my scratch healed. but the woman continued with the pedicure. . who knew that would happen. . needless to say, I won't be coming back here, and for that matter, I won't be going to any other place to get my toes done, I'd rather just do them myself because you never know what can happen at these places. read more

Came here a few weeks ago to get a gel manicure and my nails chipped three days later. Came back to redo my nails and explained to the owner/manager (young guy) that gel should last at least two weeks (I am a stay at home mom and don't have time to do my nails every week. This is why I pay 30$ for gel!). Anyway, I got no apology just an annoyed look on his face. I proceeded to get my nails done. Once I was finished I asked the manager to put the tip on my credit card. At first, he said no and charged me just for the services I had done (plus tax). Out of nowhere he changes his mind and decides to put my tip on my credit card and charges me TAX AGAIN! I told him "you can't charge tax on a tip." In a nasty tone he proceeded to say "this is how we do!" and walked away. So, I ended up paying over 60$ for a gel manicure within a week and was charged tax on a tip! Ladies, save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Well, today was not as good as my first experience. I work late and always appreciate a nail salon that is open until 7:30 as they are. I called at 5:45 to confirm this bc I will NEVER be that customer that keeps the employees till last minute. So I arrived at 6:00 and there was no wait for a gel mani and pedi. I sat down for the pedi and was asked if I want spa pedi. I said no it's kind of late for that. She insisted it wasn't, so I said ok. Well at about 6:30, another employee (Yuki) came over and started yelling at her for doing a spa pedi at this time. I said no problem I'll come back for my mani another day. She then came back over to the pedi chair and started doing a gel mani right there with the uv light on an extension cord. The next half hour was so stressful. I can't even believe I could call getting a mani pedi stressful, but it was just a rush to get the job done even after I clearly stated I'd come back. It was very uncomfortable. Everyone had coats on ready to go. At that point, I actually felt trapped. I let them finish, paid ($70), and was basically thrown out with wet toes. I'm sitting in my car as I write this having just watched them pull down the gates and go. Really unprofessional. With dozens of nail salons in the area, there's no chance I'll go back. If they couldn't provide the service, they should have turned me away. I feel very ripped off. It's a shame because Ruby is a great pedicurist, but I won't be back. read more
