Disappointed with My Experience I came in for a pedicure, but the service was not up to standard. The technician repeatedly nicked my skin and caused discomfort, even after I politely told her it was hurting me. the polish application on my toes was uneven and not what I expected for the price. I was hoping for a relaxing and quality experience, but I left feeling super disappointed and in pain. read more

Friendly staff, good prices, convenient location! Love the pedicures!!! The owner is so nice!! I always recommend.

If I could give something lower I would. Given this was the only nail salon opened on Monday the fourth. It was not my first choice However took my granddaughter for a mani and pedi and I just wanted a simple French. I ask for a little flower design for my granddaughter- well it was just a bunch of dots asked her to do it over. Then she pulled her cuticle a bit too hard. Her mani was also not all that Then comes my French pedi TOTAL DISASTER. as I was drying I go to leave only to find the white line just smeared down all on it's own on not one two but several She takes off fixes it. I go dry again. Not 20mins after I leave it happens again. NEVER AGAIN read more

Lucy did my nails and I had asked if she could do an ombré with sns powder and she did AMAZING! I LOVE the way they came out, they are so beautiful and Lucy and Jenny were so kind! I will definitely be coming back here to do my nails again!! I recommend 100 percent, Lucy is so talented and amazing read more

I made an appt to come in, when I got in there was no one available. But that's not even the worst part. I went in and there was 3 people waiting at the pedicure chairs. Even tho she said she'll take me first it doesn't matter. Maybe have people make appts and possibly not take walks in. I didn't even get to get them done read more

I've been to more nail salons than I can count and to be honest, I wasn't really expecting much when I walked into this place. A bit disappointed because the place across the street was fully booked, I came here out of desperation. I was just going to do a solid color because I didn't want to risk doing a design I didn't like... but a few minutes into filing and I decided to change my mind. After a couple of back and forth with the manager they said by design would cost an additional $10 -- and coming from most of the places I've been to -- that is a STEAL for reverse French. Melody took her time with my nails, inspecting each nail after applying polish and making sure that I was satisfied AND she only took about 40 mins. I've been to high end nail salons in NYC and for the same exact thing they charge double and take double the amount of time (granted they use a thinner Japanese gel, BUT STILL). I think I found my new favorite place. read more

I have been going to this salon since I was a teenager (even when the location was on the opposite side of the street), and while I also tested out dozens other neighborhood joints but I consistently return to Fancy Nails because I find the quality of their work the best. Lisa (the owner) is very hospitable, and strives to make a welcoming and wonderful experience for all the customers. She will be honest with everything from wait time to the state of your nails, and gives you options to consider but never up-sells you. Cindy and Melanie are my favorite for pedicures. Jenny is an artist for a manicure. I have played with everything from acrylics, silk extensions, gels, SNS (powder color) and compared to other salons, somehow they manage the least damage to my natural nails. Since I've been turned onto SNS here I haven't found any salons that do a better job. They last long and aren't thick - very natural. Consistency is most important to me, and if I have found in rare times if I felt that the service wasn't good, Lisa offers both a solution, as well as explanation perhaps why expectations weren't met. The only reason I don't give them 5 stars is because I find their regular nail polish selection a bit lacking and outdated (would love more variety and more new seasons of Essie & OPI to appear), and slowly the salon is showing wear, but it is still clean and spacious and I will continue to come here. read more

Customer Service here is horrible!!! Was already inclined to not go back here after my first experience here, but my second one guaranteed it. Besides the fact that it was the most awkward nail experience I've had due to the dead silence in the salon (no music, no small talk), the nail tech tried to use tools on my hand that had money laying on top of it, they tried to make more money off of me by insulting my eyebrows and telling me to let them do them. The SNS manicure I payed $35+tip for, which was supposed to last 2 weeks lasted 3 days. Nails started falling off doing normal things such as showering and getting dressed. When I went into the store for a refund, I spent a half hour on the phone with Lisa explaining the situation and having her yell that "they have to make rent" and refuse to give refunds. Her reasoning for my lousy manicure was "its our first time doing your nails so its not our fault that they fell off." read more

Carnation Nail Spa - My nails 5 days after getting a manicure that was supposed to last 2 weeks.They refused to give me a refund b/c "they have to make rent." - Nail Salons Near Me - Whitestone , New York

I came in for a pedi and gel mani. The pedi was okay, I've had better. I was more focused on getting my gel mani because I was going on vacation and wanted my nails to look great. Instead i winded up getting the SNS & love love love it! The man (wish I knew his name) did my SNS mani and did such a great job i was staring at my nails the rest of the day. He even shaped them into the coffin style which I love because my nails were long enough. I normally pay for tips to get my nails done the way he did them. So happy I came here through recommendation and I'm all the way out in Astoria! read more

I went on a thursday to get a manicure and pedicure. It wasn't too busy. The nail polish selection is very limited. One women even left the salon to go buy her own nail polish. I was greeted by a friendly asian lady with really long hair. She starts off doing my pedicure then she tells me that she was going to have someone else do my nails. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN! From there everything went down hill. The lady that took over was HORRIBLE!!!!! She couldn't even file my nails properly! She was rough and rushing! I told her that she was filing them uneven and she tells me maybe its from where I'm sitting...uhhh no!!! I tell her to fix it and she just stares at the nail. I took the nail file and filed MY OWN NAILS. I told her I don't have time for this!!! When she painted the nail she left the edges unpainted! I don't understand how they hired her! WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. read more

MY GO TO NAIL SALON!! I've been coming here for years and can't see myself going anywhere else. The staff is really friendly and my nails always end up looking really nice! My go to for nails are either Alan or Lisa. Alan is the only male one working there but I feel like he does the best job. He is very meticulous and never leaves me dissatisfied! Each manicure or pedicure comes with a massage. Lisa is the best with eyebrows. Ever since i've started going to her for my eyebrows, I can't go to anyone else. I have very short eyebrows but over the years, Lisa has been able to wax my eyebrows a certain way and leaves enough at the ends that my eyebrows have been becoming longer. She even fills them in for me at the end of each session!! The salon is pretty and clean. There are a lot of other salons on the same street as Fancy Nails but in my opinion, it looks the best and you leave with the best nails! The wait can be long some days but that just means it is a very popular place and in the end, it's worth it! read more

I had an amazing experience at thus nail salon ! The owner Lucy is so kind and really helps address your needs. The other staff members are friendly and do amazing work. Kathy did very good work. I'm so happy I found a great nail salon in my neighborhood!!! read more

I can not believe how disgustingly nasty the owner or manager Xiao was when I called. just SCREAMING without letting me speak. it sounded like she thought I was not calling for information on an appointment. but WOW. I have neverrrrr heard any rude disgusting random screaming from a "professional business" ... would NEVER recommend simply for the random anger. plenty of complaints already. gross. read more

Love this place. I followed Lucy to her new location from Manhattan. It's a beautiful salon and they do an amazing job. The price is also very reasonable. read more

I've been coming here for years and it's true Lisa, the owner , is probably the only person that will bother asking you for your name. The place appears clean. There are times where there is no wait, like now, and other days you may wait an hour. I think it's like any other nail salon. The staff works on you with minimize communication with you. There are some that do a great job and others who have room to improve. I've had gel manicures that last 2 weeks and other times it chipped off the next day. However, I can always go back and get it fixed. I've also have, on numerous occassions, hit my nail getting in the car before it's dried and they are always very nice to fix it. I keep coming back here because I usually the work is good and the Polish lasts. Just left and the person who did my nails was very meticulous. Great job read more

I've been coming here for years to get a mani/pedi for $20. They're always fantastic - no wait (and I go on Sundays!), good selection of colors, and great people. Always polite, very skilled. read more

Carnation Nail Spa - they did a great job with my stubby nails! - Nail Salons Near Me - Whitestone , New York

Lisa does the best eyebrows. I went other places for threading and wax. But lisa has the better technique. My threading girl sold her shop so i went back to lisa. I instantly saw a huge difference. Lisa is professional and gentle. Always was and will be. Ill be staying with her definitely. Stacey read more

Best nail place I have ever been to. Always leave satisfied. Just got my eyebrows done here for the first time and I am soooo pleased. Only problem I experienced is the fact that they harass you for a tip. read more

Lisa is really good at eyebrows it's true, but every time i've gotten waxed she is on the phone the entire time! How do you talk in your customers ear having an entire conversation in a different language? I find it odd how she isn't on the phone before you walk into her room , then once you lay down she's on the phone talking your ear off. Very unprofessional, it's been like this for years now. Yes, she does great waxing but it is the most annoying 5 minutes of your life. read more

Been coming here forever and they always do a great job. Lisa, who does the majority of waxing there does an incredible job and does the best Eyebrow waxing. Honestly, the accuracy and speed is really impressive and I leave feeling like a brand new person (improved) each time. You don't get a lot of communications with most of the staff like any other salon I've been to, but everyone is very nice and there's never been an issue with communicating what I want done. All in all, highly recommended! read more

Awful!!20$ bucks for nothing. She scrubbed my heels for literally 10 seconds maybe. Never told me her name. Didn't even polish nice the tip is supposed to colored as well but I have a clear/ white strip I'm used to much better pedicures. This was rushed. They were not busy very disappointed I will continue to drive out of my neighborhood for a better mani pedi the drive is worth it it's like five minutes. 18$ everyday ! And much better care. I tried but highly dissapointed:( Learned my lesson! read more

I love this place! They are very clean and do great manicures and pedicure although I mostly go here to get my eyebrows done by Lisa and she does a great job. Would NEVER go any place else. It's a little more expensive than other places, but it's definitely worth the money. I would definitely recommend this place over any other nail salon in Queens! read more

I've been coming to this location for about two years now. The price is very fair for this neighborhood for the quality of service you will be getting. My girls at this place are Lisa and Sandy. I had my eyebrows threaded for about seven years when I started frequenting this place, and Lisa often asked to "fix" them. I never realized how damaged my eyebrows really were since I was always so loyal to my threading lady. Lisa TRANSFORMED my eyebrows and now I refuse to let anyone but her touch them. Everybody always compliments them and are shocked when I tell them they are NOT threaded as they appear to be! Sandy is the best manicurist in the place. Always quick, polite, precise, and never hurts you. Highly recommend her! read more

I go here to get my nails done (UV Gel manicure and pedicure). The lady that does my nails is very nice. Her name is Sendy. She is very meticulous and not lazy at all. She carefully paints my nails and always makes sure they are even. At times, I have seen her re-do certain nails (French) to make them match and I value that...because she does it all within a reasonable amount of time. She even told me that if I chip my nails within 4 days, I'm always welcome to return and she'll fix it for me. I always give her a generous tip for her service because she deserves it! read more

My go to salon. Been going here for almost 9 years, got tips, silk wrap to even mani and pedi and I've NEVER left disappointed. Everyone knows what they're doing and if you're not satisfied just let the owner Lisa know and she will address the issue. Lisa is extremely knowledgable btw. And definitely get your eyebrows done here. No one does them here except Lisa (the owner) because She's that good! read more

I have been going to Fancy Nails since it was across the street from the Post Office in the Whitestone Village. This has been my nail spot for nearly a decade.....and I go every single week. The prices are fair, and the skill of Lisa and Alan (her husband) is without comparison. Sherry is great for pedicures, too. I agree with the other reviewer insofar as this is NOT the place if you want airbrush or any nail design.....not even a squiggle. But if you want swift, well done manicures, permanent french that is spectacular, eyebrows that are just so at Queens prices, this is the place to go. Try to go on off days (not Friday and Saturday)...you can walk right in and be taken care of. And do bring quarters for parking...the meter maids there are some of the most overzealous beings I have ever seen. read more

This salon is the only place I ever go to get my brows done. I go to school in Pennsylvania but I always travel all the way back when I have the chance, because they are the best at it. Lisa is amazing & she always makes sure waxing is a comfortable experience! I get my mani pedi here too, and it always comes out great & lasts a super long time. read more

Wow! Thinking that every nail salon is the same and they are all good is wrong! My friend and I went to go get our hair done while my other friend got her nails done across the street to save time. We took an hour for our hair and went across the street to see if she was done, thinking that an hour was more than enough time to get JUST her toes done. When we entered this nail salon, she was STILL cutting the nails and didn't even start the nail polish. So, we waited patiently until she was done. Now we realize after the lady is done painting her nails that she forgot to put my friends flip flops on. She tries to slide them in but is not able to without ruining her nails. So the lady says it's ok and tries to pick up my friend which was not going to happen. So, my friend had to walk BAREFOOT to the dryers to dry her toenails and even put her feet on their dirty machines because the lady forgot to put her flip flops on. Now it's going to take forever to dry because she made the nail polish so thick. So I guess we learned a lesson, never to come here and do not go with a new girl who had no absolute idea what she is doing. So I guess we are going to be late to our party, well that's great! read more

The polish selection is limited. Apparently they charge an additional $1 for a REGULAR OPI manicure. When asking the owner, she was unapologetic and told me to read the sign as if I am illiterate. Very rude. With so many competing salons, I'd never come here again. read more

I have had the worst experiences with pedicures this summer. I finally had an amazing pedicure! Sophia was awesome. She was so meticulous when she was painting my nails which was very much appreciated and her massage was very relaxing! I will definitely be coming back here. read more

Best eyebrow place in queens, Lisa does only the best. Very clean and very nice environment. Eyebrow Waxing always have amazing shape and amazing results read more

I love getting my nails done here. Mary is great, she knows exactly how I like my nails done and does them perfect every time. I have also had my nails done by mai who is also fantastic.. read more

I come here to do my eyebrows and my nails. I don't go anywhere else for my eyebrows because Lisa is the best; she is fast, painless, and she does the best job. I have friends that come here once a week from an hour away just to have their eyebrows done by this perfectionist! The staff are also very friendly and make you feel comfortable. My nails always look beautiful when leaving here and the nail polish never chips away, I'm actually serious. My nails never chip when I do them here, meanwhile at other salons, they start chipping a day or two after! They are a tad bit more expensive than other places, but you get what you pay for here. read more

In this economy you would think that customers would be treated as a priority! But no! At fancy nails it's all about what's convenient for them...appointments or not you must wait. Rip your close on the chair no apology, give in the cards with 10 signatures to get free mani they tell you on card at a time, pay extra for gel mani 2 days later peels off they tell you we have a new one let's try it on one nail free of charge! Anyways after going to a place for 10 years you would think they would take care of their loyal customers! But as I said early this is a place where you feel they are doing you a favor! Now I know why so Many people have stopped going! read more

I came to this salon because an old friend recommended it. I am so happy tried them out! There are plenty of nail salons near my house, but Fancy Nails is worth the little drive. The interior is beautiful, and the chairs are very comfortable. I am always greeted when I come in, and I am never made to feel awkward. Recently, I was getting a mani pedi, and I saw an endless line of patrons coming in just to have their eyebrows done. I am very protective of my eyebrows, and haven't had them waxed in years. Lisa is an eyebrow goddess! My eyebrows look amazing, and I will never go anywhere else. It was so quick too. She knew exactly what to do. They were totally even, and there was no plucking and fixing after she waxed - she does it right the first time. read more

This is the worst nail salon i've ever been to in my 18 years of life. I got gel powder there. As soon as i left the nail salon, my nails smudged. I went back on & they fixed it. The next day, one of my nails came off. I had to glue it back on. Three days later, another nail came off & I had to glue that one back on. It's been a week since I got my nails done & in total 3 nails have come off. I've had to glue them back on multiple times. The salon took 2 hours for me to just get a gel powder manicure and it was a shit job. I recommend never going there. Its dirty, slow, & she ended up charging me $53 where in every nail salon it's $30-$35. The lady also talked shit about my nails to me & to her friend next to her. There is no respect and they try to trick you. DO NOT GO HERE. I am saving you time & money. I also got my eyebrows done here a while ago. Lisa burped in my face as she was waxing my eyebrows. She had a whole meal before she sat down with me. And she burped in my face. I've been scarred. I never went back there again. read more

Fancy Nails is a no frills neighborhood nail salon in Whitestone. Cindy is my go to gal for manicures and pedicures. She is extremely meticulous, especially when it comes to grooming the nails and always does a great job! Lisa is the owner and is very experienced with waxing. They take appointments which is necessary (if you don't want to wait) during peak times and are always on time. They also sanitize tubs and tools in between clients, which is important to me. read more
