We were given a choice of polishes. Some came with an additional charge. We went for the one that dried within 5 minutes for an additional $10 each. My daughter and I sat side by side and had our manis. From start to finish the pedicures took about 30 mins. While my technician was applying polish, I noticed it was unevenly coated on 2 of my nails. It was supposed to dry in 5 mins and after 7 mins I touched the uneven coat and it smudged. I asked the technician to fix it and she did. We waited about 10 mins for the polish to dry, my daughter waited longer since her pedi was short. When we got home her polish is completely smudged. Overall I enjoyed the experience but dont think this is for me. Even looking closely at our toe nails long after they dried, there are spots of missing polish on my feet and smudges on my daughters decal.

When I approached, I was asked about my dialysis, and she stated she was unable to serve me due to my disability. I asked if there was any way to schedule help, but she looked at me and said, "No, there is no one here to help you." I scanned the room and saw multiple nail techs sitting and waiting. When I asked to speak to a manager--as she had been on her phone during our entire conversation--she laughed and stated, "I am the owner." I have never been more disrespected. Refusing service based on race and disability is illegal and completely unacceptable. Avoid this business.

When googling around I saw they had this service listed on their website. I just recently moved to a building two blocks over so I stopped by to make an appointment to have them removed. Everything after that was chaos. They had no idea what I was asking for and treated me like I was doing something shady or weird, when it's a listed service on their website with a price and everything. Halfway through the service, they asked if I also wanted a manicure. I repeated what I told the woman at the front desk: my nails beneath the extensions are too weak and damaged from all the fill ins so I want to let them grow out a bit, but I wanted to have them filed / trimmed / shaped etc once the extensions were off so the would at least look clean. They told me this would cost extra. I gave them some side eye because that should be part of the price but told them that was fine. At the end of the service, the woman told me I was done and could go. I was shocked. My nails were a mess. Not trimmed, not neat, with edges literally cracking and hanging off. They didn't charge me for the clean up service, but I couldn't believe they were going to send me on my way with nails looking how they did, super damaged and ugly. I went home to finish the job myself. Additionally, they treated every other customer who came in way different. Other girls were offered little stools to put their bags on while mine was put on the floor right next to old nail clippings etc. Even if it wasn't for the terrible service, I wouldnt go back for the poor treatment alone. I was treated so strangely for asking for a service that they say, per their website, they offer. Luckily, primp and polish is only a few blocks away. I've been going there ever since. The space is clean and bright, the staff are friendly, and the prices are comparable. I will never return to nail of the day.

It just been many misses the past months. I got this time a gel acrylic tip. I asked for short almond with a yellow French tip design. Everything was just so rushed and unorganized. They had so many people come in and they want to attend all but it's only three females working and all shuffling around each other. Literally all three woman did different things to partake in doing my nails and still they came out so bad. I'm not one to complain because I just feel so uncomfortable having to do so but even if I did I couldn't because they had already started working on 5 other people they said yes to while only being 3 workers working ! So I would've needed to wait even longer to get them fixed. My thumbs were two different shapes. And my nails just looked so bad they shaped them in like 4 minutes all my 10 fingers which I feel takes time but they didn't bc they all rushing and just taking on more than they can so my nails were all just not shaped or buffed out and smoothed out at all. Making the shape look so bad from the sides as you can see. And then the paint job was awful! It was so bulky and looking like waves on my nails which you can see in the pictures and especially on the sides how bad it all looks. I left so sad and defeated because I paid $60 for this job and left a tip to make it $70! Just to come home and remove it all. Then the past months I get a gel manicure on my nails very simple manicure of just gel and they start chipping within 5 days never did it use to do that but three times I've gone and that's what I ended up with so it's time for me to just not come here anymore they gone so downhill

Honestly I don't have a go-to manicurist because, in my opinion, the ladies who have served me (usually) did an excellent job- minus some accidental hiccups. Overall, the employees are professional, can read the room, and do a nice job. The price is reasonable for the location (especially) with the weekday specials. The music is excellent as they play a playlist of lofi hits. Most of the clients also keep to themselves whenever I visit so the ambience is peaceful, especially for those who need a rest from NYC's busy life. The color variety and quality brands they curate are excellent too so there will be a color you can find even if the one that you initially wanted is discounted (I'm looking at you silver!!!). Pros: Service is professional and on time Variety of quality colors and brands Appointments made through website, app, phone or in person Walk ins available but not recommended at peak time Clean bathroom Coat check Clean space Peaceful ambience Front desk service Free drinks (wine, tea, water, hot chocolate) Accepts cash and card/contactless Accepts cash or venmo payment for tips Price reasonable with specials from Mon-Thurs Conveniently located near the B62/B32 and G train Cons: Gets very busy, especially for walk ins Definitely a nice nail shop locally made in Greenpoint

I could have sworn I left a review already but I guess I've given this place 5 stars so many times…read morefor the last 5 years. Note that everyone leaves 5 stars for this place and its for a reason!! I have only gotten waxed by one person in my life- the goddess herself Irina. Irina is gentle, an angel, talented, profesional and the conversation you have with her is so genuine and makes the process so not terrifying. She's the Russian mommy I always wanted. She calls me a "baby" just because I always get scared before my wax and we laugh through the entire time. Lets be real- brazilian waxing is the scariest most terrifying thing a woman does (besides childbirth lmao) but if you have any reservations or are nervous, she will walk you through the process. Brazilians are done in less than 10 minutes, seriously. She plucks any other leftover hairs (never more than 1 or 2) and I also rarely get ingrowns. Never burns or rashes and I have very sensitive skin. It's always an immaculate job. I have lived all over NYC and Long Island and no matter where I am, I will always go back to Irina and Serenity. At this point, she is family. A million stars! I will recommend to ANYONE. Advice: Bring cash, and don't be late for your appointment. Use Tend Skin a day after wax and you can purchase it there. Brazilians are $50.

My pedicure tech, massaged my legs and feet so well. I had a deep foot spa treatment and I was so relaxed and in love with how well they treated us. They cut my nails evenly and put in so much work to remove callus as well. They don't do acrylic here which makes the smell inside so relaxing. They use aromatherapy and even have the cutest doggy pet in their shop. He's so quiet and friendly. The owner, I believe, was just so nice. She even massaged my shoulders and neck free of charge. She was so positive and in great spirits. My feet were baby smooth, I've not had a pedicure done so well like this in forever. I chose chrome gel polish which is $10 more but she waived that fee since I didn't see it on any sign. Come here, you won't regret it. They do prefer cash tips btw.

I couldn't be more pleased with my standard pedicure and impeccable cat's eye manicure by Cindy, the manager. I also appreciated the drying fans for toes installed at the manicure stations, which sped up the drying process and allowed me to leave without smudging any toes. I highly recommend this salon.

The salon's owner greeted me and helped me pick out a good pinky nude for my mani and set me up in a spa chair. A nail tech named Kim did my pedi and Jay did my mani. They were both so sweet and kind, on top of making my nails look extraordinary. They both shaped my nails after I had foolishly clipped them super short a few days ago, and Jay really took her time to save my cuticles and layer my gel color so it would look great. I had such a great time chatting with them both, and they told me that clients have been respectful regarding the salon's COVID policies--which is great to hear. I will definitely be back for my next gel mani and pedi. Thank you Kim and Jay for working your magic on my nails! I couldn't stop looking at them all day. Perfect mani and pedi.

She didn't talk too much, but she really takes pride in her work. I didn't make it easy for her, especially since we had to remove the remaining SNS, but she didn't hurt me or cut my cuticles until I bled. Great success! If you're expecting to be pampered and fawned over, this isn't your place. If you're having a nails emergency and need a doctor, Freckle to the rescue!

There are no fancy tricked out pedi chairs but I still felt comfortable and pampered. I went in after seeing all the great reviews since I was in the area and the receptionist told me it would be a 1/2 hour wait for a mani pedi. No problem. Because it's small and they seem to have a loyal customer following I had no problem waiting a bit instead of trying a few of the nearby places. I loved the huge variety of colors and brands, and especially that they carry Zoya polishes which are some of my favorites (they tend to apply very well and last), but you don't see them in salons very often. I got a really thorough but efficient basic mani-pedi. I was amazed at how quickly she worked and both my fingers and toes looked gorgeous after. Especially since my fingers had a pastel pistachio color that can sometimes apply streakily in the wrong hands. But nope, I got a flawless application. I stayed a bit longer to do an extra drying cycle because I didn't want to mess up the beautiful work I just had done. I'm giving it 3 stars because after only two days both the polish on my fingers and toes started chipping within 2 days. For fingers it's not that unexpected, even though I wasn't very active during that time. I was really surprised the toenail polish began chipping, since I've had good pedis that last 10-14 days unblemished and even longer and I thought the one I got at Freckle would be in the longer-lasting category. If I'm in the neighborhood I might try Freckle again because I walked out feeling great and my nails did look incredible from the start. It was just really disappointing that it lasted barely 48 hours.
