Very unfortunate to give this place one star but after I received my mani and pedi here, I was VERY uncomfortable how they sanitize their tools. They just soak their tools in soap water. NOT only that I got an infection on my finger because their cuticle tool wasn't clean. Fair warning. read more

Absolute hidden gem in the neighborhood. I have passed by this place so many times but another salon was closer to my apartment. I decided to come check them out today and by far one of the best pedicures I have ever had. Pretty sure my go to salon is done from Covid so I'm very happy I found this place! read more

I never write reviews but this place was amazing everything was very clean and the job was done beautifully and fast everyone is really friendly and I will definitely be returning!! read more

Feeling nice and clean after my mani-pedi! Monday-Wednesday or Thursday is $17.99 for a plain mani-pedi. They use the warm liquid thing that turns into a lotion kind of, around your heel included with the pedicure which really softened my heels and moisturized them (much needed from all the dryness I've incurred from the beach and general summer flip-flopping). They also have massage chairs for the pedicures and use hot stones to massage your calves. Wide selection of colors although not many "wild" or "neon" ones. I went in without an appointment and didn't wait long but I consider myself lucky because Lee's is pretty small and very busy so going forward I will definitely be making appointments. Parking is street parking so whatever you can find which can be kind of annoying but it's right by the Q31 if you'd rather use public transportation. I've also gotten full set acrylics here, gel, and fill-ins and honestly they last more than anywhere else I've gotten them done. They also use sunscreen on your hands for gel which is SO important if you do it often. Full set I believe is $25 and fill-ins are around $12 but all the prices are posted and nothing is a hidden extra. I have also gotten matte and different designs here and they're good about listening and telling you what they can/can't do, offering suggestions, etc. in addition they have a loyalty program so after something like 10 manis you get a free one (not 100% sure this is how it works, I lost my card). They take cards here too! read more

Lee Bayside Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Bayside, New York

First time coming here and this will now be my new go-to nail salon. I had Fang do my mani and pedi and she was super patient with me when I took forever to pick a nail color. She was really sweet and did an amazing job. read more

I love Fang and Lee! They are very sweet, clean and always take me in. They all work very hard.

If I could put zero stars, I definitely would. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. I decided to get a pedicure, the owner had a girl do them, I told her I had a gel pedicure and it had to be removed so she started the process. While we were doing it, I notice that the gel from my toes were only half way off and I told the same girl that they were only half done, she tried again. After the second time of her doing it, it still wasn't off. Through the service, I noticed that she was rushing all the way. I started to get upset and mid-pedicure, I told the girl to stop. So we stopped. The owner, Lee came over to me and wanted to charge me for the full pedicure and gel removal. I told him I wasn't satisfied and was willing to pay for at least half of the work because I didn't feel right leaving without giving something. Then Lee decided to start getting rude and cursed at me because I was upset and didn't want to pay full price. So by this time, he offered to fix them and I agreed but then he cursed at me so I said no because he had another worker already on the phone with the police. Once the police came in, he started to switch the story up and had the worker that called the cops defending him, she also was arguing with me while the cops were already there. Unfortunately, I still had to pay full price for a service that was not finished because of the fact that I didn't want to get arrested over a pedicure. Lee was super disrespectful even in front of the police, laughing in my face after I paid. I feel that this type of customer service is unacceptable especially because I also work in services. If I had a person upset with the job that was done, I'd find a way to accommodate them just to make sure they are at least a little bit satisfied with the service. If you are going to have someone work for you, make sure they know what they're doing!!!! read more

Just tried Lee last night. He did my gel fill ins for $25 & did a fabulous job! Perfectly smooth, no rough edges. He was sweet, patient w/ my particularities. The place isn't glam but who cares? Def will be back! read more

The best!!! Lee and Sophia are so amazing. There have been occasions where Lee's salon was busy and I would leave to go to another nearby salon but the service never compares! Lee is the BEST. Do not make the mistake and go somewhere else, you'll regret it like I did..lol! It is always the little things that matter: the included hot stone massage, heal softener, courteous manners. That is what keeps me coming back to this place! Highly recommend. read more

I am an absolute manicure maniac. When I find a good place, I become obsessed. I moved about a year ago and driving to my old place in Long Island just became a hassle. I found this gem from a coworker and have already recommended it to so many people. One instance my nails chipped within 2 days and I went back and they fixed it for me, no questions asked. The girls are always very pleasant and Lee is great. The prices are great and they are very clean! read more

This is the fourth time I've been here to get my nails done and the first time I tried powder gel (I typically get a regular gel mani). I loved how efficient and peaceful my past experiences have been and thus was excited to get my prom nails done here since I was confident in their service. However, I'm really not sure what happened today! The lady I was given seemed to not know what she was doing at all. One of my nails had broken off so it needed an extension and when I asked for an almond shape she gave me a coffin and Lee had to come and fix it. She then didn't know how to turn on the file machine and he had to come again and tell her that it wasn't plugged in. Like...seriously? Then I was telling her the extension was crooked and hurt when pressed on but she just looked at me and nodded and then didn't do anything. What really really bugged me is that she made me bleed in TWO fingers! My ring finger was bleeding more than my pinky and she wiped the blood off with a dry tissue and then proceeded to dip it into the powder like no big deal!!! Soooo unsanitary. I was very very disappointed with my experience today and will definitely be going somewhere else. I would give it one star but this was the first super bad experience I've had out of all of mine but nonetheless I will not be coming back. read more

See all

Friendly environment Love how they use hot stone messages and heel liquid for pedicures.

The moment I stepped foot into lee bayside nails, I was greeted with such great staff. Lee, the owner, makes you feel like family and makes the experience of getting your nails done so amazing. Coco and Tracy, have hands that are heavenly, making you pedicure experience magical. You must must must come to this location! read more

Lee Bayside Nail & Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Bayside, New York

I've been coming here for years. Prices are great and service is always amazing. I moved out of Bayside but come back for my nails.

Lee has been my go-to man for my nails for 8 years! Him and Tracy are the best in Bayside!

Last week was my final time patronizing this salon; I was treated very poorly, being yelled at by a very dishonest owner.... Lee is very dishonest, discourteous, and not a good business man! When I first went to this nail salon, it was not through a recommendation, so I didn't know which girl would do a good job. I told Lee (the owner) that I want a regular manicure but since my cuticles grow a lot, I need someone who can do a very thorough job with the cuticles. He assigned me to a woman named Coco who did a phenomenal job, as he said she would! When I called to make an appt with Coco the following week, he told me that she no longer worked there, so he suggested Sophia, who also did a great job the first two times I went to her. However, I guess she became complacent and slacked off the next few times, and always seemed tired and lacking enthusiasm, and my mani & pedis were affected by her lack of enthusiasm, so I tried a couple of other women in the salon. Tracy, who is Lee's wife, does a good job, but I could never recommend anyone else in the salon besides Tracy or Lee as far doing a good job. Usually, when I request Lee, he tells me he's busy at whatever time I request. But last week, since Tracy was off, Lee agreed to do my mani/pedi because I told him I didn't want anyone else. I had my manicure first, and just as he was getting the pedi sink ready for me, he filled it up with water, and a regular customer walked in and requested him to fix one nail (I guess it was gel or something like that), so Lee asked if he can do fix her nail before my pedicure so I asked him how long it would take and he told me "five minutes", so I said sure, go ahead and fix her nail first, and I purposely took note of the time on the wall clock. Well, after 20 minutes, I said to him, "You told me it was going to take 5 minutes, and it's 20 minutes already!". He denied that it was 20 minutes but he told me he will be done in a minute. After a total of 25 minutes, he still argued with me that it was not 25 minutes, and he claimed it was 10 minutes! Believe me, it was 25 minutes! As the woman whose nail he fixed was leaving, she thanked me for letting him take care of her first...and she said that was very nice of me, and told me to enjoy my pedicure, and her parting words to me as she walked out the door, while Lee was sitting at the pedicure chair proceeding with my pedicure, "Your pedicure is on me!". I didn't think it was necessary but it was a very nice gesture on her part. So, I said to Lee, "That's very nice of her to pay for my pedicure", and he said to me, "Yeah, she's very nice!". As it turned out, when Sophia rung the woman up, and took her cash, the woman had left a $50 bill and did not ask for change. So, Sophia had some exchange with Lee about it, and Lee asked Sophia if she didn't ask for change? Sophia shook her head and said "no!" After my pedicure, I dried for about 5 minutes, and I was getting ready to pay, so I said to Lee, "So I just owe $8 for my manicure because the woman paid for my pedicure?". So, he told me, "You had a manicure and pedicure, so you pay $20!!" So, I reminded him that the woman paid for my pedicure already, and asked him why he's making me pay if she already paid? He was arguing and screaming at me that the woman did not say it to HIM, she only said it to ME!!! We went back and forth arguing the point! And then another girl that works in the salon said to ME, "It's only $15, not a big deal"...and she proceeded to tell me that the woman comes in every week and he has to give her change from her $50, and if she tells HIM to take out for my pedicure, he will refund my money! That is pure BS!!!! He heard her, and Sophia heard her also...She said it as plain as day, and when I asked Sophia if she heard the woman tell me that my pedicure was on her, she just looked at me with a blank expression, and would not say a word! Lee was sitting right at the pedicure chair with me when the woman said it, and if I heard the woman say it, he HAD to have heard her as well. And Sophia also reacted with a facial expression when the woman said it. Lee just wanted to double dip and get paid for my pedicure twice! He's full of BS and not an honest business person. I handed him a $20 bill for the mani/pedi, without a tip! I will never know the outcome of his conversation with the woman when she goes back to the salon, because I have no intention of returning to patronize this salon ever again! I went to two much nicer salons over the past few months, and they are both much nicer salons than Lee's Bayside Nails. I'd rather pay two or three dollars more for a mani/pedi and be respected and treated like a valued customer. From the other reviews on here, I see I am not the only one who has had a bad experience with him being dishonest and/or yelling at customers! I guess that's just his M-O. read more
