    Chipped nails same day
    Amanda R.

    I went here today because I needed a quick mani pedi and they are across the street from my chiropractors office. Well let me tell you. It was not quick. They took their time which in a way is a good thing but it just seemed slow overall. And my polish isn't great. The polish is over my cuticles on my toes & my fingers. The real shocker came when it came time to pay. $45 for a mani/pedi!!! Regular mani/pedi with no extras. There are many places on this island you can get a mani/pedi for $25. I lived in Manhattan for years & never paid $45 for a simple mani/pedi. If I am paying $45 for a mani pedi it better be worth it and mine chipped in the same day! Just feel ripped off. For what I paid it shouldn't chip same day.

    They don't know how to do a gel manicure or how to take it off. See pictures. Not to mention the massive cut. Decent pedicure and that's about it.

    Owned  and operated by the two best stylish technicians in Staten  Island opens a new chapter of Nail Story.

    This salon opened under a new management a month ago. There are not too many good places in this area and this place is a hidden gem. I had a color gel manicure with sparkling effect. Amy is a great technician who knows how to create new designs and the work is impeccable. My nails look just as shiny as the first day. Even though my nails grew out they still look great today after 14 days. The pedicure is just awesome. I tried two pedicurists and both were fantastic. The hot stone massage and the heel paraffin treatment is supreme. A true Five star nail salon! Must try out!

    This was my first visit. I had such a great experience. My nails came out perfectly. My pedicure was very pleasing, one of the best I've ever had. Perfect customer service! Certainly looking forward making this my regular nail salon.

    My nails were not covered with polish. I noticed it happening but she told me to "relax" and  insisted it would be. HORRIBLE JOB.

    Don't think I'll return because of their cut throat attitude toward the dollar bill. The customer does not come first at this place. The tools are cleaned in new & sealed autoclave bags as they should be. $10 for a polish change for your feet. However, they charge an extra $5 to cut your cuticles , if I'd know that I would have spent the $10 more to get a pedicure experience. I've never heard of a salon charging extra for that, it's ALWAYS included and I am Very disappointed, I expected more. They didn't even use the hot towel to wipe off the cuticle oil. So I paid $5 more for what? The girl who did my pedicure, (I'll leave her name out because I do not want to jeopardize her career. I will say she was Mexican and probably unlicensed.) She did not even cover my toenails completely with polish. I prefer a pedicure that hits all the edges of my nail. Especially if you're going to charge me "$5 more" to cut my cuticles, then tax for using a credit card, I expect more than an Ok job. Leaving 2 stars because their tools come from an auto clave bag, otherwise it would be 1 star.

    Staten Island has some of the worse service providers I have experienced in my life. With that said I thought I found a decent place here but today I prebooked a mani pedi with Patty. She was booked when I first called so I had to wait three hours and schedule a later appointment. After receiving the pedicure from Patty, the woman has the nerve to tell me that I would have to get my manicure from her instead of Patty. What was the point of me waiting several hours to secure an appointment with the nail tech I made the appointment for if I wanted you to do my nails with you? It's called greed they make more money off the pedicures so they want their best tech doing back to back pedicures. Well I won't be coming back and you've earned your 1 star review how did your greed work for you?? The best was when she had me sitting there waiting for her to do someone else's nails when I booked my appointment three hours in advance!!! It's not ok to waste people's time when they preschedule and then give them an attitude! Are you kidding me????

    Sloppy gel manicure.

    It was my first time coming to this nail salon after my co-worker recommended it to me. I had a gel manicure and regular pedicure done. The latter was nice but the gel manicure was sloppy. I had a hang nail before coming in and I still had it afterwards. Also, I left with gel nail polish on my cuticles. Overall, not very happy with my experience and, in my opinion, not worth $55.

    I come here with my mom all the time for pedicures and my nails. The women that work there are so sweet and nice and do a great job. They take their time and perfect my nails always. It is a little pricey but you get more compared to other places.

    I love this place! So far Ive only had the UV Gel done but Amy does a fantastic job on art designs! Twice I took photos of what I wanted & she nailed it both times! The keratin hand lotion is awesome too! Perfect for the dry/cold months.

    By far one of the best nail salons I've been to. I'm a cosmetologist so I know about cleanliness precision and overall doing a good job. To start the salon is nice cozy and has enough chairs for a whole bunch of people. I started off by getting the manicure pedicure special which was pretty cheap, for the pedicure they use individually packaged sanitized utensils and I love that because I am a stickler for sanitation... even the foot file they used was individually wrapped which I loved. Then I felt like I had chosen the spa pedicure although it was only a regular... they loaded me with lotions, scrubs, hot stones and warm towels, even a hot oil treatment for my heels.. it was so great. Then for my nails , they used a hot lotion gloves which felt super amazing and that was followed by the hot towels as well overall it was a great experience and I recommend it to everyone on the island.

    This was the first manicure I had done at this salon! Thanks Amy!!
    Angela R.

    I really love this nail salon!! The employees are always very friendly, happy, and accommodating. The salon it self is always kept very clean. I get my gel manicures done by Amy, one of the owners. She always does an excellent job and the polish lasts for up to 3 weeks with no chips or lifting! I am always getting complimented on her work. Judy is my go-to pedicure tech (she gives an awesome back massage, too!), as my fiance loves Maria for his main/pedi. Def a must try salon if you live in the area.

    theres an obvious uneven application of the sns powder and gel.

It has been a few months, and I'm so happy to report this nail salon is still extremely clean, polite, affordable and talented. It's small, there's a separated room for waxing, three or four pedicure chairs, and four nail stations. They sanitizer all their tools in a special machine and are constantly washing tools after use and putting them in. This makes me love this salon even more, because one of my biggest worries with nail parlors are their sanitary conditions. There's three girls who work, they're all extremely sweet and the owners husband is occasionally there to do pedicures. Yes I am one of those women who is a little weirded out by a male giving me a pedicure, but he does an amazing job! I love how they do tips, they're not thick or chunky and I have always gotten compliments with the work they do on my nails. I've had a few people even believe these are my real nails. They're very real looking and thin, but remain strong and I can go more than two weeks without a fill in with no concern of tips falling off. Although everyone's nail chemistry is different, so I wouldn't recommend pushing the time limit on a fill in for everyone. They also offer a frequent costumer card, which is worth it so always get it signed when you get your mani pedis done! Love this place would definitely recommend.

    I went here today for the first time to get a pedicure and a set of acrylic nails…read more I got my pedicure first. I got the $50 spa pedicure, and while I enjoyed the experience I wouldn't get it again. I don't think there were enough "spa" treatments to justify the price. Plus, the 10 minute massage was only 5 minutes. Which wouldn't have mattered if I wasn't paying $50 for the pedicure. I'll be sticking to the normal pedicure from now on. Then I moved on to my nails. I got acrylic nails with gel polish, so I wouldn't have to wait for them to dry. I am obsessed with how they came out. He took his time with the shaping, and I didn't feel like he was rushing at any point. There were so many color options and I can't wait to go back and get a new design. Overall I loved how they did my nails, and will definitely be coming back, but probably not for a pedicure.

My service started with the nail tech removing gel off my nails and toes. I was given colors to choose from. I was pleased with the selection and it took me some time to figure out what colors to select. While in the pedicure chair, my nails sat in a bowl of acetone to remove excess. The massage chairs were lovely. The nail tech took his time painting my toes and they look very neat. I got gel so I did not need slippers, but it was advertised that slippers are an additional $2. My gel manicure came out alright. I maintain my nails every 2-3 weeks. However, the tech didn't use any tools to clean my cuticles, other than a cuticle pusher. There are some nails that could've used a bit of cuticle cleaning. My only concern is in regards to COVID-19 procedures. I didn't sanitize or wash my hands prior to touching the nail swatches. Also, there were not any separators between the pedicure chairs or between the customer and the nail tech. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but we're in a pandemic. All staff wore masks, some even doubled up. I was asked to wash my hands during my nail service. I also want to note that I was not engaged with as other customers were with their clients. It's all good though, sometimes self care can be quiet. For anyone in the area, I would recommend this nail salon. I stick to very basic nails but two women also in the salon got some beautiful designs. I suggest checking out their IG to see more of their work.

    SO UNPROFESSIONAL! SO RUDE! VERY STEREOTYPICAL BUSINESS! MADE A 28 Y/O PREGNANT WOMAN CRY!…read more I went in with a picture of what I wanted she said she would try her best I stated I wanted the design in silver she asked like the video I said yes ( in said IG video the tech is using chrome powder). unfortunately on this day before Easter they were in a rush, to start off with she placed my feet in steaming hot water! Fast forward cutting and prepping I asked her to file my nails evenly she begins to cut down all my nails and file sideways so now a few of my toe nails are slanted.. Fast forward again to the design I asked for flames she gave me what looked like grass blades I was hesitant but she said it's the best she could do! So reluctantly I said ok, she proceeds to do all the nails BLACK! I asked if she was going I add the powder she said oh you want silver 15$ extra I said " just to rub powder on my toes?" I would like for you to re-do the design then, because I don't wanna pay extra for something I'm going to pay to change again. She said she can't! I said so I'm not paying for the design. The whole team got up and proceeded to speak in there language and assure me I had to pay because she did her job. I said I'll pay a regular manicure but I'm not paying design and chrome powder she can remove it if she would like. Two ladies proceed to tell me to calm down ( as I'm crying might I add) because now everyone is yelling and no one is understanding what I'm asking. Pregnancy hormones through the roof and she proceeds to shave the design off. In which I asked so how much? She said 62$ I said absolutely not, we go back & forth and be points at a price list, normally I'm verbally told the price because the price list never matches what I'm told. So I explain that's not always accurate she then raises her voice to speak her language to then have someone come over to me and tap my shoulder and told me AGAIN to calm down, as I cannot I'm already crying trying to explain myself AND IM PREGNANT!!!! So the other associate begins to yell & I just shut down too many people talking to me at once, after she's done shaving both my big toes and reapplying clear polish. She goes we are done, clearing up my face I step out for air and to grab my cash because now I don't want to pay card just in case they try to adjust the price as they have done before ! I come back from my car which was in the lot parked infront of the Papa John's the gate was closed. I came back Sunday 4/20/25 and they were closed so I came BACK 4/21/25 so I may apologize to the lady for my hormones and walking out as well as pay for her services and tip. Everyone AGAIN proceeds from the moment I walk through to speak their language and explain the story I waited and asked if I could speak to the lady they was talking about to apologize and pay..... The only MALE manager asks me what happens sat. I begin to explain when he cuts me off before I could finish my FIRST sentence to say; well you don't like design you no pay so go somewhere else we will not service you! I try to explain I DONT WANT ANOTHER SERVICE I WANT TO PAY AND APOLOGIZE TO THE LADY. HE BEINGS TO CUT ME OFF AGAIN STAND UP TO SHOO ME AWAY AND GOES " MAYBE YOU GO SOMEWHERE ELSE"! so again I state I only want to pay he yelled NO, and pointed at the door. I felt humiliated in front of everyone inside and out side of the nail salon!!! Had the customers looking at me like I did something wrong!!!!!! If I could do NO STAR I WOULD! Below I've attached pictures of the work she did and what I asked her for!

    After having such a great experience with Jenni, decided to book an appointment with her again. I…read morebooked a full set and pedicure on the phone, they set me for 10:00 am on a Monday, which is the time they open. Her work was satisfying (but not as detailed as she was for my last manicure). The nail shape and feel was what I wanted and came out similarly to how she did it last time. I loved with how it came out in the video - before the gel polish. The color is asked for is a little off. Came out more pink than the nude I wanted. The pedicure color is different, and is the actual color that I wanted. You can tell the color is different. 4 stars for this instead of 5, would still come back but hopefully the color I pick next time is more accurate.

First I booked the appointment online and when I…read morewalked in I told them I was there for my appointment for a full leg and bikini and they ask Face? No full leg and bikini. OK Get in the room and the tech does my bikini first, then says OK. I said, I am also here for a full leg. So she proceeds to do the legs. I felt that the she didn't leave the wax on long enough and there were times I felt like my skin was being scrapped with the stick as the wax was dried on it. I get home and wait for the redness to go away and then I saw that a whole line up my thigh was NOT done...from knee to hip. The next day (today) I see that there are more lines/patches that still have hair, so now I need to Nair what was missed. The whole purpose of getting waxed was so I didn't have to worry about my legs for my cruise this week. They may be excellent with nails, I will give them a shot at my pedicure tomorrow, but they need to improve their waxing skills before I go back for that service. ADDITIONAL REVIEW: I was contacted by the salon after posting the original review and they did the right thing! They offered to redo my waxing as the original technician was on a trial basis, she was not hired. They also gave me a discount on my pedi, which came out awesome. I will definitely go back for both services! Thanks Ladies
