This is my favorite nail salon in the area. Everyone who works there is very nice and they always do a great job on my nails.

The best nail place in this town. I have been this salon for years. They do really good job for my nails. This shop very clean and comfortable, all girls are super sweet and friendly. I used to do SNS power and SPA pedicure, they have so many colors for SNS, and they also can make any design on the top which I shows the picture. I have good experience and feel relaxed every time I went there and will keep going there for my nails Also, highly recommend for this nail salon. read more

I've been coming here from 3 years now and I've always been welcomed and greeted with a smile by all. They are so friendly and try very hard to learn and do a great job. I speak Chinese so I can communicate and they are so hard working and great people to get to know. There are new and old girls that do the nails, so it's important to get a recommendation for one of the most skilled girls by calling early and making an appointment by name. I recommend their pedicure treatments or gel powder. Also pretty great massages. read more

If I could give more stars I would! I recently moved from Philadelphia where I loved my nail guy as I am very particular about my nails. I was worried I wouldn't find another tech I'd like. I tried several salons and was not pleased with how they did my nails. I decided to try Brilliant Nails as it is close to where I live and I am so glad I did. I will NEVER go anywhere else! They are AWESOME!! The salon is bright, clean, and organized. Summer did my nails and she is amazing!! She is friendly, professional and highly skilled!! I am very hard on my nails but these have lasted about 3 weeks before I needed a refill - I am so happy to have found this place - my nails have never looked better!! I highly recommend this place!!!! read more

BNS does excellent manicures and pedicures. I have gone to the same person for many years . At times I had others do my manicure and pedicure and the result is always beautiful. BNS also offers beautiful nail design options or special customer design requests. BNS has a large assortment of gel and powder gel colors. Finally, I find that BNS appointments are respected and generally on time. read more

My daughter and I have been going to Brilliant Nails for more than three years and trust me no one is more particular about her nails than my daughter! Linda and Tracy are wonderful manicurists and are patient and meticulous in their work.!The owner Andy is solicitous and patient with last minutes changes. The prices are in line with other local salons. read more

The store is clean and neat. The nail polishes shelf is clean and they also have personal tool storage in there. I got mani and pedi spa today. I recommend the pedi spa (milk and honey scrub - remove dead skin and 15 mins massage). Five stars! read more

Absolutely love how they did my nails! It was fast, a lot cheaper than other salons I've been to and I was happy with the way she did my design. Lots of options from regular manicure colors, gel colors, powder gel colors and even ideas for nail art! I'm definitely coming back for a touch up on my tips. read more

Helen is the friendliest salon owner I have ever met... she remembered me after just one time, and made sure I got the same great service. She is just so sweet. At this point, Helen, Lisa, and Linda all did my nails... all took their time (didn't rush the mani or pedi) and were so kind. Love them...I live in Manhattan and Brilliant Nails Spa has given me a excuse to visit my parents in Great Neck more often ;) read more

Only giving one star because I don't think they will allow me giving zero.. i was a loyal customer for a long time and then about a year ago one day I went in and for whatever reason they were in a rush so they had two girls do me one for my feet and other for my hands. I went in with enough to tip one girl and pay my tab. So I had to then split the tip I would have given one girl. The owner put my on blast and asked me to give more money! I told him I didn't have it and I didn't ask for two girls. this is your fault for making two people do me. After that I didn't go Back! This year I decided to give them another chance. Got my nails done gel powder and it lasted a week before they all cracked.. when I went today I asked why they didn't use the UV light on gel powder anymore. The owner couldn't understand me with what I was trying to ask. Got very annoyed, loud and short. I got up and walked out. dont spend your money here! read more

Went there on Tuesday for my first time, to get an SNS manicure. Everyone was friendly, but within a day three of my nails cracked. Went in today to try to get them fixed, but they only filed them put a protective powder over them and that was there fix. Don't recommend. read more

BEWARE!!!! Owner is RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL AND DEMANDING and found out today that the staff is following in his footsteps. I starting coming to this nail spa because it was recommended to me by a friend and it was close to my home. I think we all look for a pleasant nail salon that will be consistent with their application along with being nice and friendly since we are paying for our services and tip depending on how good and friendly they are. I wish i could give this spa a negative 1 since the only time I actually enjoyed my service was the first time with Linda the nail tech. I should of know better, but with my busy schedule, it was convenient and so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and continued going. The owner is EXTREMELY aggressive, rude and yells when talking to the customers, I have witnessed it too many times. TODAY.... was the topping on the cake..... I went there today for my 12:00 appointment, got there 10 minutes early to get a fill in and as soon as I walked in the energy was heavy and dull. I was approached by the owner who greeted me with a serious demeanor and not so friendly voice, he told me to sit started working on my nails and then passed my down to Summer the nail tech which I had an appointment with since Linda was not available, She seemed annoyed that I was asking questions about different options and gave me attitude, she proceeded to file my nails, when I noticed a nail was a bit crooked, I asked nicely, can you make sure to staighted this nail? and she rolled her eyes and muttered words to herself. I apologized don't know for what but I said , if you don't want to do my nails it's ok, she shoved my hands on the table got up and told me she didn't want to do my nails. I sat there in disbelief and looked at the owner and asked if someone else would finish my nails and he shook his head and said no, I got up and left. I will NEVER go back to this salon as they are clearly not practicing customer satisfaction... HORRIBLE experience.... read more

I love getting my nails done at Brilliant Nails Spa. Everyone that works in there does a great job. The place is clean, efficient and they have a big selection of colors. A few times I didn't wait long enough at the dryer and smudged my polish and they always let me come back in to fix it. They are flexible if you don't make an appointment. FYI They prefer cash so if you use a credit card as your preferred payment method, they will allow it over a certain amount. read more

Best nail salon in Great Neck!!! Been going here for years and there is no place I trust with may nails. All the girls are up to date with all the current trends in nail art. Follows all Covid rules, very clean and professional. read more

I am completely flabbergasted by what occurred today at this place. I have been a loyal customer and to the same technician for over 2 years , always on time for my appointments & always bring cash because they don't like people using credit cards. Today, I had to give a smaller tip because I did not have enough cash on me and when I went to make my next appt the owner told me I couldn't make it with the same girl I've been going to forever because I undertipped. He was extremely rude and disrespectful, talking to me like a child and in front of the whole salon. NEVER IN MY LIFE have I encountered this at any nail salon. I am extremely appalled. The only reason I gave 2 stars was because the girls there are very nice. Needless to say , I will be finding a new salon to go to. read more

Avoid They put a design on my nail that came off 3 times Refused to fix my nail. The manager (man) is a real ahole read more

Very rushed service. Rude customer service. Owner was yelling at random customers and the lady working on my nails was very unfriendly when i asked her a question. Rushed manicure experience. read more

If I could give a zero star I would. The owner Didn't tell me there is a minimum charge for credit card until after I finished my services. I only had credit card. He decided to charge me a service fee only after he saw I didn't have cash. And he was really rude to me. There are no signs anywhere about the minimum charge and he acted like I should know. He still charged me the service fee after I said don't charge it and I don't agree with it. They really are unbelievable and true scammers. There should be a sign about the minimum and they shouldn't be so rude. He went on a whole rant about how small businesses are dying- well your small business wouldn't die as fast if you were nice to your customers. The owner is REALLY RUDE. read more

I would never return. They are not properly sterilizing instruments between costumers. They are simply putting them into white boxes between costumers. read more

They did an amazing job especially Tina and summer. Love my nails and can't wait to keep going for my gel powder! It's pretty good for its price $50 ($35 just gel powder but $10 more for tips and $5 for marble) great job tho!!! read more

If you want to have your nails ruined go to this overprice rude nail salon. The guy that seems to be the owner is extremely pushy and impolite the moment you walk in he doesn't even say hi he just asks " what do you want " worst place to get a gel manicure they literally ruined all my nails. Stay away from this place read more

Rita did my SNS GEL FRENCH beautifully! Had no time for my pedicure but definitely will return!

I have been here 3 maybe 4 times.The staff is nice but its really hard to tell them what you really want. I feel that they never understand my requests. My experience there is not satisfying. I was told that acrylic is 25. I ended up paying 45. I even get charged 5 dollars extra just for filing my nails?? Really?? Once, the gel was peeling of my nails just after two days. I went back and they just polished it over where it was peeled!! They even charged me for a nail that was broken even though I did it there. I can't seem to find a good place to do my nails. read more

Don't go to any other nail place but Brilliant Nails! It's clean, spacious and the staff are super nice! Everyone is helpful and friendly - but Olivia is my favorite! They have a great promotion going on too! Get your nail done 10 times and you get either a free massage or free manicure! Love it and love it there. Highly recommend! read more

After trying every salon in Great Neck, I was hesitant to try another place. I have resorted to paying midtown prices to get what I want but still left feeling there must be something in the neighborhood I'm missing. I found Christine and the reviews are correct, she is an excellent waxer. She makes you feel comfortable and tells you when to pull your skin tight before she removes the strip. She is very thorough, fast, clean and sanitary. The wax she uses is superior to the pot of wax I own and have my name on at a fancy wax spa in Manhattan. Really. Jason, the only man who works there, performed the most through pedicure and manicure. He then gave me a 30 minute massage that was very soothing to me. The Package 2 for $45 includes mani, pedi and 30 minute massage foot or back. The chairs all work, the place is no frills and very clean. The bathroom is a bathroom only not a storage place. You feel comfortable there. A regular mani pedi is $22 with paraffin, no extra charge. This is really unheard of. They take their time and are super efficient and apply a base coat two coats of polish and a top coat. There is no hidden charges or surprises. They like if you pay in cash but debit and credit cards are accepted with a charge of $20 and up. You can get a points card too for every turn you take there you receive one point for each dollar you spend. When you have $300 points you get a free pedi. This will add up fast if you wax and get a package a few times a month! I will be back and I am probably one of the most picky persons in the area. read more

Me and my wife always going to this shop for pedicure and back massage during we visit our parents. They all do the good job, we both enjoy and happy. I like the girl who did my massage, very strong and comfort. My wife also love her nails done, with different designs. read more

Hands down, my favorite nail salon in Great Neck. I have been a regular customer at G&J for two years now, and I always go to see Connie. She is the practical (won't force any particular service on you for no apparent reason), meticulous (takes her time in shaping your nails and applying polish), and talented (gives the best back and foot massages). Since G&J is often quite busy, I always make sure to call ahead and make an appointment to see Connie (and then I never feel rushed). They also have a points program - each dollar equals one point - which over time, you can use to pay for a future service. I also find G&J's prices to be very reasonable. I generally get either the $65 package (regular mani & pedi with 30 minutes back massage, 30 minutes foot massage), or one of the $45 spa pedicure treatments (they all include the callous removal and 20 minute foot massage) with a regular mani. I have also made separate appointments during the week for a 1-hour massage with Connie ($50/hour). All in all, I highly recommend G&J and don't forget to ask for Connie! read more

Such a nice place, the artists are very responsible, I'll come back next time when I'm in New York. Love it!!!!!! read more

Got a gel pedicure done here for the first time and it was amazing! The place is inviting and clean; the owner and the staff are very friendly; the service is outstanding.

I found this salon to be extremely racist.. I made appointment 2 weeks prior and arrived early... yet when I wasn't even complete with my installation I was rushed up and told that there was no glue to finish my design.... I will never go again....BLACK LIVES MATTER read more

I wish I could give this place more stars! Brilliant Nails does an amazing job with my gel manicure every time!

I had a good relaxing experience here, now brilliant is my as going nail place I got a pedicure and sns with Katie on last week. She did great job on my nails. All finger are very even and nice shape. They also have many colors for SNS power, next time I would like to try their SPA pedicure if I have more time. It's also very clean inside. read more

I've been going to this salon forever... they are excellent and I can't imagine going anywhere else. The service is excellent and the people that work there are especially kind and always do an amazing job, especially Tina! read more

This is the absolute best nail salon I have ever been to! All the girls here are great and the owner Andy is so nice! My nails look amazing every time I leave and I've never been disappointed Jenny and Tracy are my go-tos. And I love they have the Dazzle Dry system-one of only places on Long Island!! read more

Came in for a pedicure about an hour before they closed on a Saturday night. I was seated right away. They have a good selection of nail polish and friendly service. It's been a week and my $16 pedi is still holding up nicely (not that I wouldn't expect it to). The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the leg massage that is included with your pedi (not the extra that you buy) is usually a little longer at other places. But really, I just needed my feet to look nice in sandals and that got done read more

Caution: review in progress I had to switch places because I moved and so this place is across the street. The prices are a bit more than others, but I really felt the $5 difference on my color gel was worth it because not only did I get the hand massage, but also the back/neck massage. They have good deals and my nail lady did a really nice job, considering all of my nails had broken during the move. They also have a huge selection of colors. I'm going to try them again for color gel, along with the other services they offer. read more
