I never felt like they were damaging my nails. I just got a French pedicure and all of a sudden I looked down, and it was smudged!!!

I think this spot is definitely worth it. You can't tip on your card so they give you numbers to zelle for a tip. I prefer to use zelle its actually really nice. This place is so good to me its worth the 30 minutes travel time from my home. The prices are very reasonable and I haven't had a bad experience yet. I personally get an acrylic fill with gel color. Then the matching gel color on my toes. I spent only 112 today which can be a lot for some, but I go monthly due to slow nail growth. I appreciate that they have an Instagram page so I can sort of get an idea of what I want before I come. They are fairly easy to get to by the N train. I find myself taking the R train in because its a nice little walk. I'd recommend the mango pedicure if you have extra cash. They have tons of gel colors here, there's something for everyone. I've yet to break a nail since I've been coming here for a straight 8 months. Carmen and Flor have done my nails the passed couple of times. They both went easy with me knowing I have issues with my wrists. There's no chemical order in this location and its cool inside with their huge AC. If you see a mistake was made on your nails just speak up and they are happy to help. Highly recommend this place. I never feel rushed, I'm a walk in all the time. But they do have appointments if you'd like to make one.

Absolutely furious. Have been here before for brow and upper lip threading with no issues. One of…read morethe employees insisted that she do both threading and waxing. After the service, I noticed that there were huge chunks of skin ripped out below my eyebrow and at my upper lip. She told me it was normal for waxing and blamed it on my pimple? I've never had this happen before. I also noticed they double dip for the wax. I received no apologies, absolutely nothing. Never coming here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. ** Update: Went back and the manager, Ava, came in to apologize and offered a full refund. I appreciate her sincerity and she took full accountability for her employee's actions. The woman who did my service apologized but continued to make excuses as to why it happened and blamed it on the weather (?). She obviously didn't take accountability, but I didn't want to waste anymore time arguing with her. **

NEVER GOING BACK / DO NOT RECOMMEND…read more I got a pedicure (booked through ClassPass). Pedicure itself was fine but when it came to tipping at the end, I wanted to tip through card / Apple Pay. However they insisted on cash or Venmo. I don't carry cash and my phone was dead (so no access to Venmo). HOWEVER they forced me to charge my phone with the salon charger so they can receive tip through Venmo. This was humiliating and not to mention entitled of the salon to assume that they earned a tip. They acted this way even though there were other customers in the salon watching all of this happen. After charging my phone for a min, they admitted that they can accept tip through card. The pedicure itself was fine but I am never going back here for the horrible customer service. Up until this point, the service was great and I was planning on making Kawaii Salon my main spot for manis and pedis. Ended up tipping $10 on $60 pedi.

I have never given this low of a review but I can't believe how bad of a service I received today…read more First off two things that stuck out: no lotion and no kneck massage while drying which I've had hundreds of manicures and that's protocol, especially if you tip while like I did. The lady who did my nails was straight up RUDE. she didn't ask my preference for anything and went way too deep with the cubicles. She got up at least twice mid manicure to do other things and one of the other ladies came over and started whispering while staring at my nails. I didn't even get a good manicure after going through all of that. The end product is streaky and I could have done a better job myself. Half of my nail looks like it has a second coat and he other half looks like it doesn't. Not to mention it's chipping already, less than 4 hours later. Extremely disappointing. As I read in other reviews, they don't walk you to the dryer or instruct you how to use it they just stop with the top coat and point. I ended up messing up one of my nails trying to figure out how the dryer worked. I listened to the lady giving a pedicure and she seemed to have a relationship with her client, so maybe she does a good job but the lady I had was enough to make me stay away for good. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME HERE... unless you want to leave feeling blown off and angry.

This is actually the worst nail salon I've ever been to ... I scheduled a 5 o'clock appt for a…read moresimple gel pedicure & canceled my clients from 5-6 thinking that was enough time. The appt was confirmed on their end & I was so excited. I showed up at 5:03 PM rushing so I wasn't "late". The lady welcomed me, knew about the appt and told me to take a seat and wait a few minutes .... She was working on someone else and I was okay with waiting a couple minutes ... 15 minutes later, she asked me to soak my feet in water and was nowhere near done with the other customer .. I was like mhm ok ... after 25 minutes, I couldn't do it anymore. I started to take my feet out of the water and told her I couldn't wait any longer and that I understand things happen but to not take reservations then ... instead of apologizing, she goes "things happen, people take longer, that's how it goes".... I don't think businesses that last run in an unorganized manner ... if you're in the area - beware! Use another nail salon in Astoria! Unless you don't mind aimlessly waiting ..

I had a regular polish manicure here over a month ago, and my nails are still visibly damaged…read more The technician over-buffed my natural nails, which caused: * Permanent-looking dents and uneven texture * Staining exactly where the polish was applied * Overall thinning and weakness of my nails This should never happen with a regular manicure. Proper technique does not require aggressive buffing, and the damage is clearly due to poor prep, not my nail health. I've had regular manicures for years and never experienced this kind of damage. My nails are now taking months to grow out and recover. I would not recommend this place, especially if you care about the long-term health of your natural nails.

Came here for a regular mani/pedi. The place is laid back and clean. However, I think some of…read moretheir practices are not very hygienic. The tools for cleaning nails were already out in a bin, instead of being opened in front of me in a plastic covering. Then when cleaning under the nail, a wooden stick (for nails) was used, but she just pulled it out of the drawer, used it, wiped it and then put it back in the drawer. There are a few other things but all in all the pedicure and manicure came out nice. No shoulder massage after the service, which is normal practice in other salons. The pedicure here is expensive here though. It cost 22 dollars. I raised the issue with the manager but she said the whole area was priced this way, so I asked some neighboring salons; they charge 15-17 for their pedicures. Mera's Tip: get a manicure
