I am so sad I got this experience yesterday I love this spot but lately I just feel like I don't feel the need to come here anymore. I've been coming for yearsss one and off . 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 read more

Gel mani + gel pedi for $66. Somewhere in the last few years the "basic" mani/pedi has been reduced to just painting your nails, not here! Pedicure: hot stone, scrub and massage. Manicure: massage and lotion. No frills spot with kind staff, exactly what I'm looking for in a nail salon :) read more

I have always found them to be clean, professional and to do a great job! They also have very reasonable prices

I had to write a review after seeing Sunny for the first time today. What brought me to this nail salon was the great reviews about Sunny. I have to admit, it's a bit of a wait but well worth it. I will definitely be continuing to come here. Sunny was gentle and very detailed which I love. I'm happy I found this place. Thank you Sunny! read more

I'll never come back here. My natural nails were long and a rounded square shaped when I arrived to get them done. I asked to keep this shape and for my nails to only be slightly filed where needed. Instead, they were filed very short and extremely square. They weren't painted to the cuticle either so they looked sloppy and unfinished. I also got my eyebrows waxed, supposedly. There was such a little amount of wax used that I didn't feel any pain at all when the strips were pulled off my face. After the lady told me she was finished, she didn't clean off the excess wax (the little bit of wax that she used didn't come off at all) or use lotion anywhere on my face. As a matter of fact, she didn't even show me a mirror to check out my brows and walked out of the room almost immediately after she was "done." Once I got home and looked at my eyebrows closely in a mirror with better lighting, I realized that I just paid for a service I technically didn't receive. My eyebrows looked almost exactly the same as they had before I went to this salon. I was in somewhat of a hurry so I didn't realize just how disastrous everything was, on top of the lack of professionalism. The prices are pretty average/on the lower end but even with those prices, you don't get what you pay for. I do not recommend this place. read more

I had a male tech do my nails and a female tech for my pedicure. Amazing job and unbeatable prices, I'll be returning.

Thank you, Lisa for my pretty gel design! I walked by this place on my way home. No frills type of place, but I'm happy with my mani/pedi/back massage. read more

Don't underestimate this no frill nail salon. I found this place through Yelp and chose to get my nails done here in Greenpoint even though I live in Williamsburg because I liked how natural the tips looked in the review photos. I booked an appointment for next day easily over the phone. I got my nails done by Sunny and she was great! Very fast service and affordable. I did gel tips with a heart on each finger and it was $55. The only issue I had was she did rush at the end so some of the hearts are little off center because people kept walking in and calling in for appointments. They were super busy on the Saturday I was here so make sure to book a time because walk ins had to wait nearly an hour and I was surprised they actually did wait. Just goes to show that regulars are loyal to this nail salon. This was my first time here and I would definitely come back! read more

I came in here on a whim as my usual salon was booked for the evening. Yelp led me to this very humble establishment. I'm glad it did! For the record, you are certainly not paying for the decor, ambience or luxurious service. If you want a solid mani and pedi, without the fancy vibe, come here. My lady was extremely attentive, took her time and gave an excellent foot and hand massage. She didn't skimp on her service whatsoever which is why I left a hefty tip. A mani and pedi will only cost you $25 here which is half the price of what I would have paid elsewhere!! I'm taking off a star because during my service I did see a mouse scurry across the floor which made me feel uneasy. :/ otherwise, the ladies here are sweet and clearly do an awesome job, so I'm happy to come back! :) read more

I had been dying to get my nail art done by Sunny & booked my appointment for noon today. I was so happy I did when I saw the work of art she crafted with patience and dedication (Check out the pic of the Gel Nail Art on Gel Nails for only $40 - talk about a great bargain & a guarantee I will definitely come again!!). I've been coming here since they opened and I'm a fan of nail art. I've also been to a few nail places in Greenpoint who would not deliver this kind of precision and artistry for a client or for that matter for this affordable price! I can see why she has clients booking appointments on a weekly basis. I'm relieved they're not charging Manhattan prices and that this is a calm quiet place to relax and unwind. A massage to boot doesn't hurt either. I also couldn't help but notice that they also have a frame of potential nail art you could choose from but I'm happy to note that they also take ideas (I showed Sunny the pic from Instagram and unlike other places in this neighborhood she dove right in - check out the 110% she gave). I have to say I caught the twist on the french manicure on the nail art wall with light pink and red trim and I know what I'm doing next. By the way, you can't go wrong with their pedis, because they rub hot stones against your calves along with the water and its as though you just discovered a new level to the word 'relaxation'. Plus, who doesn't love that sea salt -I added a 10 minute massage once (can you blame me?) and it was worth it and still affordable -when you go here its all about the 'ME' time and forget everything else. read more

Every time time I come here I am amazed at the quality and how long the gel nails stay on - I have been to $70-$100 nail places in LA that break in 2 weeks and these still go strong after 3. I can't say enough good things about this place, truly a hidden treasure! read more

I hate leaving bad reviews when the people are nice, but at the end of the day I would never go to this salon again. They use a cheese grater on your feet, it's dangerous and illegal in many states. The place feels cheap and the price isn't and their poor beta fish is in vase and not looking good. read more

Not satisfied. Painful, horrible polish & shape.. I cannot explain the paint job done on my nails..yikes. Our nails looked better when we went in than when we came out. I don't even know what shape to consider my nails, they're all different.. and hers, bubbly?? Very upset. read more

You get what you pay for here. Good for a quick, cheap paint job. The good: great price, can't beat a $25 mani/pedi. The pedicure is good--massage, scrub, hot stone, the works. Very friendly staff. Use the plastic in the pedicure sink, which feels cleaner. The bad: not a great color selection. No frills. Struggled for ten minutes to get my shoes on with wet nails and no one came over the help. Nail color is bubbling a bit, meaning they dilute their nail colors. read more

Horrible nail service and unsanitary. BEWARE. I walk in to do my nails for SNS powder. My nail tech began to do my nails. I notice all the employees have gloves but not her. Her co worker notices my look and tells my nail tech in another language to go put on gloves. She does this with hesitation and washes her hands in the foot spa chair before applying gloves. ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DISGUSTING. Then, I asked for a lavender SNS color. The nail tech told me they didn't have any purples. I ended up choosing a creamy white color. The nail tech put literally only 2 coats where it was barely noticeable. I asked her if she can make it darker. She said ok. Then I see her reach for the final coat gel. I ask her again are we done? Is this the final color? She says yes and looks confused. I get the guy who works there to explain to the nail tech that the nail model looked darker and on my nails it looks like there's barely any nail polish/powder. He tells me the nail models look always darker. Already annoyed, I ended up saying ok and picking a white color because I am a person that doesn't really like to complain. He gets me a white powder. The nail tech begins to do my nails. This time she does it aggressively and cutting my skin. Doesn't even apologize. After she finishes applying nail color I see there's red marks on my nails. I tell her to wipe it off and she looks confused then tells me she doesn't see anything. Another employee comes over and tells her there are red marks and now she needs to apply a white based gel as a add on. Already frustrated I tell her I'm not paying for this. They tell me no worries you don't pay. The nail tech ends up doing this gel to a point my nails feel heavy and hurting from all the damage, removing, and addings. She ends up finishing the job sloppily. Polish all my fingers and uneven shaping. It looks like a child did it. read more

Woof. Still sitting here in the salon and can't wait for these claws to dry so I can gtfo. Experience was so bad I'm writing review rn! This place is def no frills like others have said, which doesn't bother me, but when the massage chair is broken I'm not down. It'd be one thing if it weren't functioning at all but it'd turn on intermittently, leaving one sharp spike in my back. There was no way of "flattening it out". The woman doing my nails cut me at least 2x. I know it happens but it was a result of her roughness and she totally didn't acknowledge that she even did it. I've never bled before during a manicure--way too rough. The cherry on top was the manicurist used a cuticle stick to sop up part of my cut, proceeded to clean it with water and then put it back in her kit. I wouldn't recommend this place at all. The only redeeming quality is that they have a pretty good color selection, but that's it. Came in hoping for a relaxing time and am not only leaving in a less chill state, I am also leaving wondering if I should go get tested immediately for some crazy disease after seeing the woman put that bloody stick back! read more

First time coming to this place & they did a great job! I have acrylic nails and there aren't a lot of places in New York that I have found that do acrylics & the ones who do usually aren't nearly as good as this place. They are super gentle when drilling and filing the nails & are also very precise. Extremely pleased with my experience read more

Terrible service. Overpriced gel pedicure. My service felt rushed and the girl had an attitude and barely understood what I was requesting. Most of their polish selection is stale. Waste of time and money! read more

Updating my review. My nails looked excellent day one and day two, but by day 3 they were already chipping. Today, one of my nails just came off. I always have acrylics, and I've never had this happen. Not to mention the fill here was $50. Total rip off. read more

Good and Quick service. My full set was great and the price was also great. I came twice and the way my nails come out never fails. Love it.

As far as how my nails look and the level of attention given to my hands, I would definitely give 4.5/5 stars. The prices make it affordable to go regularly, but the pain involved doesn't! She was pretty rough with my cuticles. I left with three cut fingers and some blood leaking from both thumbs. I didn't even think my hand cuticles were that bad and I'm pretty OCD about them. The fact that my cuticles and sides of my fingers were cut or bleeding in addition to my concern for hygiene here makes me reluctant to return. read more

This is a not a a fancy glamorous spa. Your coming here mainly to get your nails done. Tried so many in Greenpoint/Williamsburg. Paid $$$ and they would always break and chip. H & Q prices are half the price and last. Would recommend. Got the shape I wanted dead on! read more

Would probably have given a 5-stars had I gotten Sunny as my technician since the beginning. I called in to make an appointment but didn't specifically requested for anyone since it's my first time and I wanted to see how they'd do things. I got in and was seated with a lady and as she started working, I already knew that she wouldn't be that great but she did say that she's only prepping my nails and Sunny will be coming to shape and paint them, which I was happy about. At this point she already scraps my cuticle in two different spots and it was hurting, as well as the side of my pointy finger too as I think she over-filed it. (You can see the cut in my photo) Turn out Sunny came and work on my nails for a bit and I could tell she knows what she's doing but unfortunately she has a lot of customers and couldn't do my nails for me (which I totally understand since I didn't requested for her during the appointment and seem like the other ladies are her regulars). With my high school level Chinese, I could tell she was explaining to the first lady what I told her I wanted. Just to be sure I showed her a reference photo on my phone of the shape that I want so there would be no more miscommunications. When she finished my left hand I looked at it and went like "Is this going to be the final shape?" like literally I was TOO SHOOK, confused, and kinda UPSET. All my nails we DIFFERENT SHAPES like just how??? Not matching the photo but to manage to get one more square, one pointy and one rounded. At this point I wasn't having it and I expressed my unsatisfactory with her shaping (and rough works that I did not mention to them). Sunny overheard us and asked if I can wait for her and she will take care of my nails, and I was super down for that option. I waited for a solid 30 minutes but it was so-so-soooo worth it. Sunny did an amazing job with the shape and painting. She is so clearly detail oriented since the first second she started working with my nails. She kept apologizing for the wait (which was not her fault) and also to my cuticle that she saw was bleeding :( She even fixed the bad work of the lady from my previous fill without me asking, which was amazing (the other lady did such a bad job which is why i had to come searching for a new nail spot). All in all, I actually WILL be coming back. Only for Sunny. Super happy with the final result, despite the pain that I can still feel as I type this review... read more

Because I am lazy person in a long term, committed relationship, I've reached the level of said relationship where I've begun to take it easy with the primping. And because of this, my toenails have suffered. I let my pedicures last way longer than intended because Greenpoint doesn't have a very good selection of no frills nail salons within a three block radius of my apartment (I told you I'm lazy). There's a sprinkling of day spas that make me feel weird when I go there, and a couple of sketchy looking nail salons where the chairs are crisp with the stench of asses that have sat before you. I was excited to see H & Q when it opened a few months ago. A new nail salon where everything is shiny and new! and it's right across the street from Peter Pan, so I can indulge myself in some donuts and then pamper my fat ass with a mani pedi! The prices are relatively decent for a no frills nail salon - $10 for a basic manicure; $20 for a pedicure seems like a steal, especially when my claw toes are involved. They have a good selection of colors and real brands, and the ladies who work there work quick and do a great job. One thing though, the weekends can get super busy and waiting can be a pain (duh). I've seen other nail salons offer early-in-the-week mani pedi specials; but as far as I know, H & Q doesn't do this but it'd be a good incentive to go during the week. read more

Sunny is the best! She's super sweet and takes her time. She did a set of acrylics on me and the shape and length were perfect! Went back today for a fill and had another great experience! read more

H & Q Nail Spa - Sunny killed it with the shape and length. Went back today (2 weeks later) for a fill and they're just as perfect. - Nail Salons Near Me - New York, New York

This is one of those instances where I have to wonder if my experience was a one-off and I just got really unlucky. Either way, what a disappointment. I went to H&Q because my neighborhood favorite, Freckle, was booked for the whole weekend. It looked like a no frills place, but the Yelp reviews were encouraging. I didn't expect anything fancy - all I wanted was a basic, painless gel manicure that lasts more than a week. Easy enough, right? The nail tech nicked my cuticles and kept jamming a stick deep under my fingernails. Ow. Whole new level of pain. It's OK if it happens once - we all make mistakes - but if it happens 5+ times, it's a red flag. Pro tip - if your customer repeatedly winces and attempts to yank her hand back, maybe reconsider your technique and/or apologize. I can deal with pain if the end result is beautiful and lasting. However, my gel manicure started chipping and lifting in less than 48 hours. This is a record for me - even my crappy at-home manicures last longer than that. Within 72 hours, it was almost completely peeled off, and took no effort to remove. At $35 plus tip, this is absolutely unacceptable. I am giving them two stars because the place was clean, and it would probably be decent for a regular manicure with a different tech. Maybe. Still, I will not be back, not even in a pinch. read more

Came here in a pinch. They did a decent job and was $25 for mani-pedi. They used hot stones in pedi and scrub in mani. I would come back.

I'd give zero stars if I could. Was getting a pedicure and the woman used a metal grater (which are illegal) on the side of my toe. She SHREDDED my skin and caused a deep cut on the side of my toe. She brushed off the fact that I was profusely bleeding all over and made no attempt at any real first aid. The owner did not offer me any compensation and made me pay full price for this nightmare ($54 gel pedicure before tip, which I did not). Injury photos are too gruesome to share but this is 12 hours later when I bled through a liquid band aid, regular band aid, medical tape, and sock. DO NOT GO THERE read more
