    Loved this place.Mrs. Joanna did my hair so amazing. She was also very gentle and kind with me. She was always asking if I'm uncomfortable or not. I was so cared for. Me encanto como hizo mi pelo la señora Joanna.

    I've gotten my hair done at highlights unisex nail & spa 3 times! I had jet black hair and now I have beautiful blonde/silver hair. I started with just brown hightlights all over my hair and then just continued to come to add more and more. My hair looks so healthy and beautiful! Thank you to the lovely Yoseline she did an amazing job and is very friendly I would recommend her to anyone

    I came all the way from Los Ángeles, CA to do my hair here in NY, I found this business on Yelp and was also recommended by a local girl to see Gertrudes to do my hair. She is so friendly and provided great service along with the rest of her team. She did exactly what I wanted and made my hair the perfect shade of blonde, i asked for the balayage and she got to work right away. They offered me coffee while waiting for color to develop, and all the staff made me feel very welcomed.. I will definitely come back back for a touch up with Gertrudes, she knows exactly what she's doing and left me feeling beautiful!! She even trimmed my hair just to even out the ends which made her work look amazing!! I give her and her team 5 stars

    After Gertrudis worked her magic!! I am so happy!!

    Wow, I finally found "the one"! You know the saying, finding a good hair salon in NYC is like finding the love of your life... yes, I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my prince charming, in this case I am talking about "Highlights Unisex" Hair salon. After experiencing with trendy Manhattan places (Spoke & Weal), (Fox & Jane), etc.. that just made my hair look horrible plus having to deal with the attitudes of the hairdressers that roll their eyes up for everything, I took my chances and I took a 100 minute subway ride from Midwood, BK to Corona, Queens. It was Super Easy to get there, the 7 train straight to 111th Street and then just a few steps to the salon. Gertrudis, the owner, welcomed me immediately, No Appointment Needed!!!! Also she had a super positive attitude with great ideas about how to fix my orange hair and transform it into a beautiful ash blonde highlights!!!! After 4 hours of Gertudis working her magic she achieved the most beautiful highlights I've ever had in NYC. I am so happy to the point that I decided to open an account here with Yelp and recommend her to everyone. Wow!! Yo finalmente encontre al Salon de Belleza que he estado buscando desde hace mucho tiempo. Encontrar un buen salon de belleza en Nueva York es como encontrar el amor de tu vida!!! En este caso me refiero a "Highlights Unisex" Hair salon. Despues de estar experimentando con salones elegantes y de moda en Manhattan como "Spoke & Weal", "Fox & Jane", etc.. que solo me hacian ver el cabello horrible mas aparte tener que aguantar las actitudes de las estilistas que solo hacen caras feas cuando pido algo, me atrevi en ir a Corona, Queens desde Midwood, Brooklyn que es donde vivo y despues de 100 minutos en los subways llegue facilmete en el tren 7 en la estacion 111 St. el salon esta solo a unos pasos de la estacion del tren. La patrona del salon la senora "Gertrudis" me recibio inmediatamente, sin necesitar cita y con una super positiva actitud con ideas de como arreglar mi cabello que quedo naranja despues de yo haber ido a uno de esos salones en Manhattan. Despues de 4 horas de que la senora Gertrudis trabajo muy duro y uso su magia con mi cabello, ella obtuvo las luces mas preciosas que he tenido en Nueva York. Estoy tan contenta que decidi en abrir una cuenta aqui en Yelp para recomendar a toda gente este salon de belleza y a la senora Gertrudis.

    Nice cut

    It's always hard to find a hair salon that knows how to cut my hair correctly but I think I found one. The salon is always pretty busy the last 2 xs I have visited. It's always very clean and everyone is super friendly. My hairdresser IRIS is very gentle at handling my hair and I have never felt rushed. She's a sweet older lady and cuts my hair wonderfully. I have been here 2xs already and I am very happy with the results. Maybe next time I'll try some highlights.

    Rare to find a Dominican salon that can do body and waves this way! Love!
    Lilibeth A.

    Absolutely sweet service from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, washed my hair and in the chairs within 7 min done by a total of no more than an hr . Totally appreciated her desire to socialize with me. Offered me wifi access! Hair looks fabulous and even gave me bobby pins to pin my hair up later. Will return!

    An amazing experience, every time. I usually come here once every couple of months to get a hair-cut and a blowout, and I always leave very satisfied. I've gotten everything done here, you name it. The ladies are so pleasant, and they work with all types of hair. They also provide a variety of services; haircuts, blowouts, specialty hairstyles, braids, manicures, pedicures, etc. the establishment gives off spa vibes for super reasonable prices. Today, I got a wash, cut, and dry for $30. I'm leaving very happy, once again, with my experience. The best feature of Highlights Salon is their customer service. Although the salon is large, they make you feel at home by providing things like coffee and initiating friendly conversation. It's no wonder why they have so many loyal customers.

    Ana was my hair stylist and she seriously did such an amazing job I am shocked! She lifted the red out of my hair & gave me ash blonde highlights, without damaging my hair at all. She will be my forever go to stylist from now on. Love her!

    This was my first visit and it won't be my last. After reading the yelp reviews, I had to check this place out myself. I had Iris and she's my new favorite person. Super attentive to what I wanted and she took care of my hair, which is a beast to handle. My color came out amazing and I will be coming back!!!

    They just recently changed their location, but only a block away from where they original where located, but all the same ladies are here!! Including the owner Jertrudis which is AMAZING! Even the Nail ladies are here located in the back. This is my To-Go place! The prices are great! And whatever you want they make it happen! So come and spend your day and get beautified here!! Frown your, waxing! To your nails & toes Ect.. To coloring! Highlights, cuts & styling! You won't regret it!

    I love this place. The owner and workers are amazing. They are very professional. I will only get my highlights done here. They did my hair and sister's hair for her sweet sixteen. We were very satisfied. Me encanta este lugar. Son muy profesionales. Nos hicieron para la fiesta de mi hermana. Nos quedamos muy satisfechas.

    Iris did a wonderful job!
    Mrs. O.

    Went here today for a wash, cut and blow dry. Iris cut my hair and what I loved the most was that she wasn't "scissor happy"!! She styled my hair nicely and I left very happy. All that for $35 (plus tip, of course)! I will definitely be returning!

    Simple up-do Gertrudis did on me. I got my highlights touched up that day as well.

    I can't stop looking at my nails!…read more I've never done my nails outside before, so I was excited when my friend suggested doing our nails here. The spa is located on the second floor. Make sure to call to secure a spot, as they can easily get booked! The place is cash only, with tax if you Venmo/Zelle. The place was very chill, with the nail techs chatting with each other throughout my experience while they casually work their magic. I got the Gel Manicure ($40). They started off asking me to pick a color from a selection of books. Then the nail tech asked what shape I wanted, and began filing, shaping, and trimming my cuticles. Note to self and other nail newbies that nails need to grow out super long if you want square gel nails, to prevent the gel from touching your skin. The process was overall very relaxing, and fascinating for me to see the amount of care the lady puts into perfecting my nails. The process took around 1 hour 30 minutes, and even with my first time nails, the lady was chill and accommodated with patience, tips, and skill in making the gel manicure work on my short nails. Both my friend and I were very satisfied. My friend had the Regular Manicure ($15) and she noted how they added a finishing nail enamel spray, which other places don't do. Consider Arete for your next girls self care day!

    Extremely Disappointed After 2+ Years of Loyalty -- Very Money-Hungry Business That Doesn't Value…read moreCustomers My sister and I have been loyal, consistent clients at this salon for over two years. Sadly, our recent experience has shown that they care more about money than treating their customers with basic respect and professionalism. I sent a deposit to secure an appointment, clearly expecting it to go toward the booking. At no point did I say it was a tip. The owner had previously canceled on me last minute, and I was understanding. Instead of asking for a refund, I chose to reschedule. When rescheduling, I was told a time with no clarification of AM or PM. Since I asked for the earliest slot, I assumed AM. I traveled from Brooklyn to Queens early in the morning and waited 45 minutes without a single response to my texts or calls. Hours later, I was finally told to come back. Frustrated but still loyal, I canceled other plans and returned--only to be offered a free manicure to make up for the mix-up. That day, my Uber costs alone were over $100--more than the cost of the service. Given all the inconvenience, I chose not to leave a tip, which is well within my rights as tipping is optional. I usually always tip, but not after that experience. Later, I was refused service completely--because I wanted to apply the deposit I had already sent toward a new appointment rather than let them keep it as a tip. Denying a loyal customer over something so small and unjustified is beyond unprofessional. This business lost two long-time clients over a situation that could've been resolved with basic communication and decency. If you value your time, money, and being treated with respect--go elsewhere And I'm happy you responded the way you did because you only proved my point more of how viewed your customers as optional and I wasn't valued as a customer after 2 years of loyalty and consistent tipping !

    Everyone here is so kind! I was a bit unhappy with my nail…read moredesign and went back few days after to get it fixed and they were very nice about it! I found my go to place!!

    Went here 2x in one week: first time for the manicure and second time for the repair…read more Will I go back? NO The picture of both hands is what we all ideally want but.... Quality of service 1/5 Some ladies translate amongst and for each other and that's okay but what is not okay for them to miscommunicate pricing to the costumer I asked the same question 3x to the person who spoke English: 1. Are those colors the same price? 2. No extra charge? 3. No more money? And the English speaking one said NO and another lady who does not speak English does my manicure and uses cat eye, which ends up being $25 extra at the end I ask them why because I clarified 3x and they gossip in Chinese not knowing I understand it that it was me not willing to pay it so they waived it forcibly and rolled their eyes at me and didn't talk to me. I still tipped 25% and leave $40 gel manicure $10 hard gel extra charge The lady that actually does your nails and not translating the first time? Friendly and that's 1 star The second one named Mia: pretend friendly BUT manipulative "There is morning wrong with our hard gel, your nail is just hard. You should have paid for the $90 UV gel instead of the $50 hard gel" and does NOT pay attention to detail NOR take feedback well Skill 2/5 You can tell they are trained in batches because they all utilize the same technique and it's only good if they are good and it's really bad if it's bad My First Lady: the 2 stars are for her My Second Lady: Paying attention to detail is SO not her skill NOR is taking feedback My Second Lady glued the end extension crooked and refused to take it out so just kept on filing until the nail was too short and not even with others. All other nails are concave. The extension is convex and titled out to an angle way too the left. The top coat from Second Lady: uneven with big dips and bumps and I will NOT wanna go back a 3x to let her fix it. With gel manicures, the top coat is everything and they ruined it I still tipped Second Lady 25% because if you speak up, they scream at you, give you attitude, and the door is locked unless they unlock it remotely Vibe 0/5 They are hot and cold re customer service wise and the second half of the store is under remodeling with some loud thumping. The first half can be more tidy albeit no remodeling. Back hand washing station is overcrowded. Walkway to the bathroom pass the hand washing station is dark Pricing 0/5 If I was paying for quality service and skill, this would have been slightly above average pricing in Flushing but because you get bad service and no attention to detail, it's a 0 Three days later after my first visit, 2 of my nails broke albeit I had hard gel. So the extra $10 for THEIR hard gel won't make a difference versus regular At first they said repair was free 2x but they were going to just paint of over the broken nails with no extension or filing meaning you were gonna have 4 long almond and 1 short square/jagged nail on each hand. And the nail tech proceeded to do that until I told her to please take the gel off my broken infield nail and put an extension on it so all nails are even length and shape and she said $10 for each, so the repair was $20 and not free. That's okay, but to think they really were gonna let you leave the studio like that SMH Also the supposed top coat they give you on all your nails after you repair 2-bumpy and uneven--huge dips and throws all the money you used previously on all other fingers out the window. Gel depends 90% on top coat This is above average pricing in flushing with really sh*tty service and below average skill. Check out Arete Beauty instead! Cheaper (cat eye is an extra $10 not $25) and better skill set and service but make an appointment

    Came here for the first time and had such a great experience from getting a regular manicure…read more However, I wanted to wait until my second experience before writing a true experience. Regular manicures are only $10 but pedicures are double at $20. I believe gel manicures are $25 but I don't usually get them as they tend to dry out my nails unless it's a special occasion. On both occasions, I had a different technician working on my nails but they were both lovely and did a wonderful job on my nails. They took their time to file, buff, cut, paint, dry, and spray the enamel sprays on my nails. My nails lasted a good month or so so I'm very happy with the lasting power as well!

We came in on a monday afternoon, and they accepted walkins, at the time, as they were not many customers present. Although my manicure did take quite a while at about 2.5-3hrs, my nail tech did a very good job. Spent my time watching "Immortal Samsara." It was my first time getting acrylic nail extensions, so I did not know what to expect in the process. He reccomended this color for the cat eye polish, and I think it was a cute color! Service was nice, I guess the only thing I have to complain about was the smell inside, I believe it was from the acrylic power solution (the monomer solution). The entire process was $85 without tip, a bit pricey in my opinion ‍. May come back here for the location convinience with my friends again.
