First time getting a Russian manicure and I must say I'm in love. My nail tech Megan was so nice and took her time. It was worth every minute. I've been looking to give the acrylic a break and grow my natural nails and think I found just what I needed. Didi was there and she was nice to talk to as well. The space is nice and clean and I felt very welcome. Will definitely be back can't wait to see my nail progress on the next visit read more

I am so tired of establishments charging an arm and a leg for less than stellar service. The pretentious policy and shoddy work don't align with the cost. I booked a service in February. I was going back and forth about a design, in which the person working there was of no help including the Tech that was a "Pro". After some time, I decided to do a French with 2 small hearts on 2 nails. Apparently, that's considered "Complex nail art". The tech who had a mask and heavy accent told me the price in which I clearly didn't understand until I went to pay. YES, I was upset that my nails cost me $150 (no extension etc) when I went to check out! Despite me being surprised, I STILL TIPPED HER (something I regret had I known they would deny me service moving forward). What's more upsetting is that I had to CONTINUOUSLY CORRECT THE TECH (a "pro") while she was doing my nails. Why am I paying so much money and she can't make sure the white on my tips are actually covering the nails properly? Why did she leave actual gel on the sides of my cuticles? Lastly, why did I pay $150 and had BUBBLES IN MY NAIL BED? I showed the girl at the desk, and she HAPPILY TOOK MY MONEY DESPITE SEEING THE BUBBLES. Let me guess, that's all my fault too, right? You think they cared about the actual work done on my nails? HA! Yet, I'm supposed to happily fork over my money for mediocre work and accept it? You guys did me a favor by denying me service. Oh, it's very telling when your nail techs don't stay long in either of your locations! SMH! read more

Didi's Nails is the best! All of her nail techs are amazing and do great work! I go to her midtown location more often now, because she's so close to my job and the hours are convenient for me to go afterwork for my mani/pedi. In her Elmhurst location: Nataly is awesome!!! Her receptionist should be a bit more socialable, though. In her Midtown location: Hanna, Aigerim and Iroda are great!!! Her receptionist here are always friendly. read more

Amazing service from start to finish! The staff was incredibly courteous, professional, and attentive, making the entire experience pleasant and comfortable. Everyone was welcoming and truly went above and beyond to ensure great customer care. It's clear that they take pride in the quality of their service and in treating their clients with respect.

If I could do 2.5 stars, I'd give them that but I chose 3 for the benefit of the doubt. I made an appointment for an early afternoon Tuesday & the place (obviously) wasn't busy. It's on the 2nd floor but the entrance door on the street doesn't stand out enough. This was my first time trying out a Russian mani / pedi & which the pedi is waterless so I had high hopes in coming to this salon. I give my pedicure a 5 /5 because I'm still very satisfied with the results. The staff member tending to my feet didn't quite speak English well so another employee had to assist, but she was overall pleasant and paid attention to detail on my toes. I asked for a simple one-color white polish, which was executed perfectly. Cuticles & callous who? I love the seamless look to the polish plus my heels feel smoother than ever. I think I've changed my mind when it comes to those standard spa pedicures. Now for my manicure... I'm disappointed in the results. During the service, I appreciated the employee making sure I was content with the shape and color choice of polish. Otherwise everything else was terrible. I could already tell she was judgy from the very looks she gave me, even tho she was wearing a face mask. She nicked several of my cuticles which can be seen in the photos; no apology nor acknowledgement if I was okay. I should've stopped there but I had already paid a deposit & didn't wanna lose out on the experience. It seemed like she took her time but in reality she didn't do quite the job I was expecting. I've provided photos of my mani the next day & 1 week post services. The lighting adjusts the color of my polish but I was mainly focusing on my cuticles and the paint job that I was given. $80 Russian gel mani on natural nails + $90 Smart pedicure with gel + $15 tip each employee. Would I return to this salon? I'm leaning more towards no mostly because I didn't have such a great first impression here other than my pedicure. Would I try the services again? Absolutely but again I'd probably pass on being a returning customer here. read more

Got my first Russian mani and I loved it! Will definitely be coming back after my vacation

Best nail salon in NYC. Precise, clean, professional. My nails last forever. Pedicures are also excellent. They are all highly skilled !

Love this nail salon! I drive from bayside! My nails look amazing! First waterless pedicure!

I've been coming here for 2 years and it's been the best manicure I have ever gotten! Haven't been anywhere else since I discovered Russian manicure.! And probably won't ever look back :)! read more

First time getting a Russian (waterless) pedicure and I really liked the outcome. Nataly took care of me, and was patient and made sure the polish did not come out streaky. I asked for a regular polish, since I'm not quite ready to commit to the upkeep that comes with gel. Pricing as of June 2025: pedicure is $70, and a polish (gel or regular) is an additional $10. Sales tax is not included so just be mindful of that when paying. The studio is well lit and clean. Hope to be back again as a treat to myself! read more

I almost don't want to share her because she's sooo good ... My nail tech is Alena at the Elmhurst location and when I say she's patient, talented and attentive I mean it and it shows when she does my nails. She's the best!!! read more

Earlier this year I came in as a model for the new nail tech, so I paid low amount and the tech gains her experience. I received Maria and although there was a language barrier, the lady at the front was super helpful and translated. I love my nails and I feel like the work was so detailed and careful, which for me is amazing , as I am a very detailed person and if I notice one streak or something I am not happy. Clean place & pretty decor! Plenty of street parking! I've been back many times for my nails but last night I got a pedi for the first time and it was so nice! Owner is a great listener to clients and always helping out her staff ! read more

DidiNailsNY - My nails were so weak and short, they were amazingly patient ! - Nail Technicians Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I've been meaning to get a Russian mani for a while now but recently got the opportunity to do so... and it's honestly such a game changer! I have no cuticles guys and it feels and looks great ! I feel like anytime I've gotten a regular gel manicure I've never been satisfied with the way it looked until now. I got a Russian Gel Manicure w/ Rubber Base and an IBX Treatment (I'm a thin nail girly and i was told ibx would be good to strengthen them). The space was beautiful and blue in theme. The environment was very clean and friendly and thank you to the receptionist you were lovely and very helpful. I did have a beginner tech and there was a bit of a language barrier but otherwise she did a pretty phenomenal job ! (Don't mind the scuffs as i got them at work) These are the hands of a real person so hopefully they help you check this place out! read more

Didi has great quality and attention to detail. comfortable ambiance and clean. They helped my nails grow and have clean non toxic gels

Loved it ! Definitely recommend this place ! My nails never looked better. It's worth the money !

My sister told me about Russian manicures so I researched a salon to go and try. Russian manicures are very different than regular manicures. I watched some videos on Tik Tok and read reviews on Didi Nails. Everyone raved about this salon so I made my appointment. The salon is on the second floor and really cute inside. All the staff are so attentive. As soon as you walk in, they greet you with a smile and take your jacket to hang up. All the nail techs are amazing. Depending on the nail techs skill level is how much you will pay. I pay $80 for my pedicure and $90 for my manicure. It's totally worth every penny. My nails last long and are so healthy. How it works is you get a manicure and pedicure at the same time. My appointment takes like 2 1/2 hours. My nails always look phenomenal and so clean. After my first appointment, I was sold. I've never gone anywhere else. I highly recommend this salon. You won't regret it! read more

This place is a SCAM. Not actual Russian manicures and request money upfront just to cancel and not refund your money. They have a location in Manhattan as well. They don't know how to do business. read more

Unfortunately, will not be going back. Less than 2 weeks in and my gel nails have severe lifting. I had to cut my nail to prevent more lifting but then the other side of the nail started lifting already. It's a little frustrating to pay for a more pricey manicure to have a nail set that was supposed to last at least 3-4 weeks. They mentioned that the nail shape of squoval is prone to lifting when I reached out to them a few days ago. This was not made known to me at the time of the procedure... Also, I have done my nails my self with the same shapes of nails and haven't had the gel lift so fast... Sorely disappointed. read more

I fell in love with my nails and the experience after my first time. I love their professionalism when it comes to booking an appointment. Also they start on time which is very important to me. If i make a 3pm appointment i expect to be in the chair by 3pm. They do that! They're very meticulous when it comes to your nails. Please be patient. You will be satisfied! I will be a returning customer!! My only complaint is their pedicure chair is not comfortable. I would prefer the standard pedicure chair at regular nail salons. read more

Yes!!!! 1st time there was last Thursday the 13th. It was a great experience. I love the waterless pedicure I had Guzal who was super sweet, professional and very detailed. I was so impressed I asked to book the manicure too! They were very gracious and allowed me to add a manicure. It's very professional and the noise level is low. You can really relax while being service. Great location in queens you have the M train, Q58, Q60, Q53 and Q59 all right there. I saw someone mention rules, yes they have rules, but nothing that I consider unreasonable. They are professionals booked and busy! They do respect our time and we should respect their. I recommend to everyone give them a try and make your own decision. As for me it's my new spot and I will be going back. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE ! This is the first time Ive had a Russian pedicure. 10/10 recommend will never go back to any other type of pedicure. I have been searching for a good nail tech to do exactly what I request for many years. I have finally come across Anel, who was an absolute angel, super gentle and extremely detailed with her work she did exactly what I asked for and provided incredible service. This place is about a 45 minute drive for me, but I will definitely be visiting every single time I need a pedicure. The vibe here is peaceful and quiet. The service is 10/10 totally recommend!! GOD BLESS ! read more

Wonderful experience! I had my appointment with Aiya, and she was gentle, professional and did a wonderful job. Ive been to various salons, and what I appreciate most about Didi's is that ALL of the equipment has been steralized prior to touchimg your skin amd nails, which amost guarantees you will not be aquiring nastyness from someone else. I had a Russian manacure with a pro, and didnt spend hours at the chair (efficiency and perfection!). I will definitely be returning. read more

I absolutely love this place - Tonya does an amazing job with my manicure and Gulya makes my feet feel like never before. I feel so blessed to have found this amazing nail salon.

I found DidiNailsNY on Reddit when I was searching for a highly rated salon who does Russian manicures. I had never tried them before but I've heard amazing things! On the Reddit thread for Astoria, I saw several people recommend DidiNailsNY. While this business is located in Forest Hills, the buzz made it seem worth the drive. I made an appointment on their website with the nail tech Tonya. When I arrived, I was greeted right away and brought to my chair. Tonya did an amazing job on nail prep- literally spent an hour cleaning my cuticles and nail beds! Before she started adding color, I decided I wanted to add some flowers to two of my nails. She had me show her a photo and was to happy to do it. In total, the service took two hours and cost $90 ($80 for the manicure and +$5 per nail design). I am thrilled with how they came out and I can't wait to return for future services- this place is worth the travel! Also- they had an INSANE selection of nail colors. I'm someone who got my nails done bi weekly for YEARS and I've never gotten a better nail service with so many options to choose from. Check them out! Lastly, at the end of my service I was handed a sealed bag containing all of the files and cuticle tools used during my service. So cleanly! read more

I started going to DidiNails nearly a year ago and my nails haven't been in a healthier state until consistent manicures with her team. Diliara is the owner of the nail salon and she is VERY meticulous about safety and sanitation protocols (unlike many other salons). The rest of her staff abides by her standards as well. It is clear that it is extremely important to her and her staff, considering the nature of a Russian manicure. I've recommended and will continue to recommend DidiNails for a safe and healthy Russian manicure. I used to be a nail biter but now, my nails grow so long and fast, I have to have them cut a lot due to the amount of growth after 4 weeks (other gel manicures, I have to return after 2 weeks and oftentimes, my nails and cuticles are gross after a few days). Thank you, Didi, Rushana, Liz, and Tetiana! Continue doing a great job at what you do :) read more
