I wanted to give Magic Nails a few tries before I reviewed them. There aren't many places in Bridgeport that have the level of cleanliness and aesthetic like the new location of Magic Nails. Every time I go, I feel relaxed. I also like that they have lots of nail techs so I've never had to wait -- there's always someone ready to your nails. All the nail techs I've had are thorough and take their time with their work. Overall, I'd recommend them. read more

This is a ghetto and unprofessional establishment with poor customer service and mediocre results. there is nothing "magical" about work done here. they hire anyone here because they are just collecting the money from people already used to poor service and basic nails. when you're accustomed to top notch service and come to this place where people don't ask you what shape you want and can barely file your nails evenly or match your colors and you use google translation for everything, it is a challenge. they have customers sitting in metal fold up chairs and the pedicure chair was broke and would only recline backwards forcing people with back issues to lay backwards for pedicures but charging them $60 for nails that chip the next day is a profit and scheme for them but sucks for the customers. dont do it. read more

The first time I went, I had a good experience. I went back and was seen promptly, which is great. I got a refill for with acrylic, sparkles, a replacement nail, and a cut down. That came up to $66, this makes very little sense because my original set was $50. The quality of what I recieved was not worth $66, in addition to that the website prices and the actual prices are highly inaccurate which is the reason I won't be going again. I don't like how the prices fluctuate based on how they feel. For example, my original set was acrylic. On the website it said 35+, on the board in the shop it says $40, Lee charged me $50. It was sheisty but I loved the set so I paid and gave a great tip. Today, I get subpar nails and pay $66. It's SO disappointing because I thought this place was IT. read more

My sis & me came to get pedicures.I didn't like the way the nail tech did my toes. She kept having to fix it & it wasn't fixed. Also, my gel polish came off quick.Usually I have a better experience been coming here for years. Definitely will not have that nail tech do my pedicure next time. Inside is nothing spectacular just a regular nail shop. They did move to this new location a little while ago (maybe a year or 2)so everything still looks new. read more

Every time I have been here, the staff has been friendly. The wait time is minimal and the jobs vary from tech to tech. I will get such a super job done by one tech, ask for her again, and the job this time is not as good. I guess it depends on each persons and what they are dealing with. It would be great if we could count on each job being done to perfection, but we are human beings, not machines! Most of the time , I walk out feeling fantastic with sparkling nails and toes!! Overall I am very happy with Magic Nails and would recommend them. read more

Majic nails is the worse nail shop in Bridgeport. They are very unprofessional if your not getting your feet or nail done they do not want to render any other service such as eyebrows. They have you sit for 45min just to tell you no one can do it. I just wanted to put this out there because they really dont care they act as if you come to beg when your spending your money. read more

I got a fill in at this overpriced nail shop where the wait is so long you could have gotten 2 full sets AND a pedicure for the time spent. After waiting I got a nice fill in which cost me $90 plus a $10 tip. Overpriced! Ok fine, I went on vacation 2 days later and one of my nails pops completely off. Fixed it on vacation ($40). Next day another nail pops off! Had to finish my vacation with a nail missing. Came back asked them to fix it since I was inconvenienced and not only did I have to wait for at least 9 ppl ahead of me for 1 nail fix, they wouldn't compensate me for it and wanted me to pay. When I asked for the manager who is right there and heard the whole discussion now tells me I'm being recorded as if having a conversation and asking to be compensated was a crime. Never will spend my money here again, overpriced and racist. Zero stars read more

Magic Nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

I will never go here again. I don't know if maybe the tech was new or didn't know what she was doing. I told them my nails were mine not acrylic and she kept questioning me. I don't know why my nails weren't even that long. I said but was dip powder and she was still confused. She kept trying to use the drill to get my nail polish off, my nails were so thin and burned from the gel process. I kept telling her it hurts but she said it was fine. There were lines from the UV burning into my nails after the drilling. Never going again! read more

Great quality of work. Bad customer service. The moment I'd walk in, I'd get weird looks from the staff

I stopped in without an appointment and they were able to take care of me without having to wait all that long. They had plenty of employees to take care of their customers. The place was really clean and nice. I enjoyed the experience and would recommend. The prices were very reasonable. read more

Tran was my nail technician for my first visit and she will continue to be my nail technician from now forward! Absolutely amazing job!!! I cannot say enough about how gentle she was with me as my nails are quite thin and sensitive. I appreciate her attention to detail, my sensitivity, and the gorgeous job she did with precision, length, just all of it... WOW!!!! Thank you so much for caring about what you do and the client in your chair, this means so much to me read more

I visit here today and I see a girl being attacked by the workers. Very scary . I could not believe it. And my service was not good because after the customer was gone the workers were chatting about it and could not focus on work. read more

This is my 4th time coming here since April 18 which was the first time I came. It is absolutely the last. I arrived and asked to have my nails soaked off today as well as adding acrylic to my natural nails, and the girl the receptionist asked to do them was talking a bunch of crap about how she didn't wanna do it in Spanish . The receptionist then told me that the girl doesn't like doing soak offs. I waited for another 20 minutes . She then asked a guy to do them he agreed asked me to wash my hands because I had lotion on and then after they were all speaking Spanish he then said he had an appointment at 2pm this was at 1:41 pm. Meanwhile he never had an appointment and just sat there on his phone .The service here is non existing the receptionist acts as if she's scared of the technicians. While the place maybe aesthetically pleasing the attitudes of the employees are far from that. I ended up getting a refill and not what I wanted. I arrived at 1:04 and left alittle after 5pm. If you want people disrespecting you and talking about you in Spanish this is the shop for you if not go elsewhere . read more

Tried this new place in my area and I was throughly disappointed. I came in for a gel pedicure only. The hostess at the door was nice and she got me accommodated really quickly. Tina was my tech, the order for the services was a little off. Scrub before cleaning my cuticles weird but ok. We get to the polish and the color is bubbling and not being spread evenly. I bring it to Tina's attention and she says she will file it down after the gel dries. Now I'm totally confused. Tina is now trying to file around the cuticle where the polish has bubbled and she's filing my skin. One of her co-workers come over and he says "Let her do her job" Really?!?! I end up taking off the polish and leaving. I don't care how new the place is, poor customer service is just that poor customer service. I will not visit this establishment again. Tina was nice but not a good pedicurist. P.S. the owner could care less and never offered a resolution to the problem. He just chatted with the workers in their native language. We are just $ in their eyes. Good thing I value myself and my money, I will find someplace else to go. read more

Completely unaccommodating. I went to get my nails done but had my baby in a car seat with me. I was denied service because they do not allow children in their salon. This was extremely disappointing and hurtful. I went down the street to Nancy nails where I was welcomed warmly and treated with great care and respect. The nice lady was even engaging and playing with my baby. completely different experience! I will never step foot in Magic Nails again nor would I ever recommend anyone to go there. read more

Magic Nails - Nails done by the best - Nail Salons Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Ive been going here for a few months now and didn't leave a review because I had mixed feelings. I've been to one other salon in Bridgeport and I didn't like the service at all. At this salon, Magic, the service is mixed and the work is OK. I've gotten the best nails by "Indiana" and toes by Simone. This review is only 3 stars because it is a hit or miss. read more

Great service, excellence staff and great work ! Took time to do my nails , was professional and kind.

I asked for hard UV gel because I wanted a layover on my natural Nails and a cutí al clean up. The clean up was regular nail prep. Tips were added and added on so crooked. The woman Niko kept complaining about how picky I was being when all I was asking was to fix the nail before the gel. She then said no she wasn't going to do gel instead acrylic while filing my mail so thin. My nails look like toe nails from how wide they are. She continued to tell me that my hands are so chubby that's why my nails don't look good. She's beyond unprofessional. I typically go to Judy and love her work. And Niko said I should have just waited for her. You go to these places to feel nice and enjoy your day off and instead you just waste your money. Not worth it. So thick and one isn't even glued to my mail there's a gap which not water can get trapped under read more

I decided to wait before making my review. At first I was hesitant to try them out but I'm glad I did. I never had much luck with nail salons and their quality of work. When you walk in you are greeted right away. The place is clean and decorated beautifully. They have about 20 nail techs. I've had experience with 4 different ones and I've walked out pleased everytime. I would definitely recommend read more

Loved it! I came in for a full set and a pedicure. It took about two hours to get everything done which was great timing. They paid attention to detail, and my hands and feet look beautiful. I can tell that this place does good business because by the time I left, it was full and there was a line waiting for people to get their nails done. I would highly recommend going. read more

The manger( lee)or whatever his name is . He's rude . Sometimes you call for appointment and forget your techs name and he won't even get on the phone to help you . I literally called and the receptionist knows very little English.can't help with nothing . I asked for the manger to get on the phone to assist me and I can literally hear him in the background saying he can't help I'd have to come all the way there to see what tech it is I'm requesting. I told the non English speaking receptionist I don't live close this is why I'm calling to try and avoid coming all the way to the shop just to be told my tech is not in for the day . Which happens often. This manger literally told her he can't help. The receptionist literally is telling the manger I have a appointment and don't remember who my tech is . This wasn't even the case . Shall he just gotten on the phone to assist me with locating my tech , (his employee)this would have all been solved . I never heard of a customer asking for a manger and not being able to speak to one . Some Asian people are so rude but want all of our American dollars it's just sad. They also will never touch my feet again read more

Magic Nails - Infected cuticle - Nail Salons Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Terrible service, they need to hire staff that know what they're doing. My nails were damaged as a result of going to this salon. On top of that, it's very dirty!!! The nail tech and owner should be ashamed of themselves. After servicing me, she immediately took another client using the same tools on me without cleaning them! VERY DIRTY! 0 Stars. read more

Magic Nails - Damaged my nails. Do not get service from this salon. 0 stars!!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Everyone here is very kind. Good customer service !! My nails always come out great !

I posted a picture of my nails after about 3 weeks. Not bad. Of course I had to reapply a little nail polish Bc I couldn't find the time to go do my nails. But the place is not bad. Regular pedicure with design is like $ 16 which is less expensive than most places in Bridgeport and Stratford where I live. The male pedicurists are very good. I do my eyebrows. There too. One Chinese lady was very rough on my eyebrows. I don't know her name but I promise never have her touch me again. Word of advice, if possible avoid going there on Saturday, way too crowded. Go there weekdays, mornings preferably. read more

I absolutely loved my nails. The shape and density of my nail is exactly how I like it, medium coffin, not too thick. They accommodated me even though I came super late which was convenient for me. I'll definitely be a regular at this nail salon.....by the way, the name person who did my nails is Cindy read more

Magic Nails - Beautiful nails - Nail Salons Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

horrible service, if you close at 7pm you shouldn't be turning people away before that time. all you're doing is saying no to money and good paying customers. won't be coming at 10am because I have a job and your job was to be op until 7pm. thank you. read more

Believe it or not I've actually been coming to Magic Nails before I was able to get my nails done lol My mom was coming here for years before them moving locations... I personally have been going to Simone for my pedicures since my junior year in High School probably sophomore year. Im now 26 and will never change my loyalty towards her lol She is the best in my opinion! Simone NEVER disappoints! read more

they wouldn't let me get my eye brows done literally take minutes because my 6 year old was with me. they kicked us out, because kids are not allowed. read more

So, I really don't know where to start. Disclaimer: I've been going here over a year because of the convenience. I waited until I got home to see if I cooled off a little, but this is truly ridiculous. I've been here a ton of times and have put up with the extremely long waits and attitudes and rushed service mainly because the one girl I faithfully went to for a while is a beast at shaping and I wanted to keep supporting her. Today I went in to soak my acrylics off and get a gel manicure....... I specified to the three*** people who asked me what I wanted, that I wanted to SOAK, because my set was only two sessions (about a month) old and still very well intact. ATTEMPTING TO CUT OFF A FULLY INTACT ACRYLIC SET IS BLASPHEMOUS, yet THE OWNER, insisted he could cut them off with ease (most probably to rush me out bc of how packed it was)..... let's shorten this story by saying this fool caused the baby gash you see in the first picture. Mind you, I've now been home for three hours. After me basically begging him to stop even after he saw blood, he sets my nails to soak AS PREVIOUSLY REQUESTED..... FOR AN HOUR! In between this time of me requesting a tech, the girl who initially promised to do my nails took two other chicks that she was cool with instead, because two other girls were waiting for the tech I usually go to. I get seen by some new girl, who's super apologetic, but still in a huff and rush because they close at 7:30, and I wasn't "done soaking" according to the owner and some other staff until 7. Sidebar: they set me to soak without buffing/ filing off the gel polish. I've gotten my nails done enough to know that the gel polish is an entirely separate layer that takes time to penetrate in addition to the acrylic, which is why MOST techs buff it first. SIDE side bar, while sitting with the new girl, one of the other techs (the one who mainly sticks to lashes and brows) advised her to pour the acetone my BLEEDING NAIL JUST SOAKED IN BACK INTO THE BOTTLE THEY USE...... yes, I know acetone is acidic and contains a ton of chemicals that may decompose germs but, nah... I wouldn't risk it. So I get 9 of my nails done, because as you see, the pinky was unrecoverable. Twenty five dollars is what ol girl tells me. So I turn around and show the manager, and this man tells me to come back when it heals/ grows back, and they'll repair it for free, but that he wasn't applying any discount or gratis. Like....... no regard for customer service. Meanwhile, a customer is cursing him out after he made a slick comment about her having to leave because they were closing. Meanwhile, she'd arrived before me, and I came straight from work at 5:15.............. at least have the decency to apologize, tell people to come back another day, etc. AND as you can see by the second picture, there are already air bubbles/ welts under my gel polish.... three hours later. It's June 30th; you know people are swarming in before the fourth AND because it's payday. To the latter point, getting my nails done is my one splurge every other pay period. To have wasted money on leaving worse than I came in is simply unforgivable. Don't waste your time ladies and gents. UPDATE! I went back requesting a refund after the gel polish on my left thumb completely lifted and peeled off in one sheet the morning after having them done. Refund was not in Lee's vocab, as expected, so he had me wait to have the four nails I had an issue with done over (i.e. Those with air bubbles underneath). Same girl assigned to do my nails over, but while waiting, my usual nail tech Alisha gave me the "girl run" look after I showed her what they looked like. THEIR OWN WORKER. The new girl continued to buff my middle finger after I told her I was in pain, insisting that there was still acrylic on them, AND BUFFS DOWN TO THE SKIN OF MY NAIL BED. Yet another bleeding finger, to which she replies "wow, you have really sensitive skin..." dude, you just buffed away my entire nail..... Man, I started looking around for licenses and all like that Mr. Krabs meme. About an hour later, and I was 2 seconds from calling the Better Business Bureau. ALL OF THE ONES SHE REDID LOOK LIKE BOO BOO BRUH! Air bubbles and chipping YET AGAIN. But it's the holiday weekend, and I had a long drive to NY to make. Just, no. I'll call Alisha to do at-home appointments if possible, but I won't step foot in that spot again! read more

I have been getting my nails done since I was 13 and let me tell you a place like this is hard to find. I have NEVER gotten my nails done so well. Each and every time I go I'm never disappointed. Kathy is my savior. I can show her any nails design shape or color and she replicates it perfectly. There might be a bit of a wait depending on when you go but any good salon that you go too is going to have some type of a wait, please be patient because I'm telling you it's worth every minute of your time and every penny that you spend. I don't understand all of those negative reviews from past years but I'm telling you as soon as I walked in here I could tell it's going to be my new go to nail salon. Everyone in here is so kind and sweet. You're in for a great conversation no matter who you sit with. It feels like you're walking in and getting to spend some time chit chatting with your family. They make you feel at home. They go above and beyond with their services let it be a full set a pedicure or even a regular manicure they get to work! All I can say is that I love love love this place and don't have ANY negative remarks towards it. Can't wait to come back they just earned themselves a regular. read more

This review is for my nail girl Alicia ! She's always doing an amazing job !!! Love it

This place is truly awful I went here because me friend had come back to Bridgeport and we decided to get her nails done we have never gotten our nails done in Bridgeport and just decided to go here due to the fact it wasn't a long drive. First of all there was a long wait and the place is very dirty I'd like to start there, I have had my acrylics on for about a year now and have had no issue with lifting. However for some reason ever single nail of mine has lifted due to the cheap acrylic they use. Also when I asked the lady to shorten my nails she made two stroke with the nail filer then stopped due to the amount of work that was needed to file them down, she also made my nails uneven so all my nails are different lengths finally my nails are way to thick and look really fake which isn't cute in my opinion . I HAVE BEEN TO SOME BAD NAILS SALONS BUT THIS ONE WAS BY FAR THE WORST. read more
