    $40 Gel "manicure" after 3 days
    N. S.

    DON'T waste your money here. Uneven shapes, chipping after 3 days and 2 thin see-through coats when the staff doing it knew it should have at least been 3 with this color. When I got home I noticed just how transparent and bad my nails looked. $40 plus tip for lopsided round nail shape and chipped "gel manicure." Would've done a better job at my house myself.

    First visit. Decent gel manicure. $30. I tried this place because I thought my place in Scarsdale was far and pricey. But I found the prices weren't much different in Mount Vernon, however the service wasn't as good and I felt that it was a "quick in and out" with Nail City. The salon is updated. Current music (pop hip hop) gave a modern vibe). Clientele varied, women of all ages were there when I went on a Friday morning. The salon is similar to the salons in town (I was actually looking for something different). They make it known that a tip is expected. At least 10 signs are posted with tip ranges for the expected 15 or 20% tip.

    Have been getting my nails and pedicures done for years in every borough.... I am picky when it comes to cleanliness and class. Nail city has been the best nail Solon that I have ever come across! I drive all the way from queens to Mt Vernon to have the best people work in me to feel back to normalcy for over 10 years. Michelle and her crew are kind polite and efficient at what they do! Amazing Amazing Amazing! Would recommend anyone here!

    I've been getting my nails done for a little over a year (consistently - true nail connoisseurs know the struggles of consistency) And Im beyond satisfied. I'm comfortable, my nails gets endless compliments, and I actually have that type of sex and the city-regular salon type of situations that we only see in the movies. Amazing girls and amazing service, and they're always willing to accommodate. Still in love and going strong.

    The salon itself is lovely. I'd give that 5/5. Now the reason for my low rating is that I went to get my nails done on Thursday. I got a simple mani and fixed one one of my toe nails ( gel pedi from another location). The service was great. The one woman who took care of my hands was very attentive and took her time. The color I chose needed 3 coats to actually show up. That was weird. Anyways, it's now Saturday and my nails are chipped on both hands. I don't do any out of the normal activities. This is the first time I've ever experienced this with a manicure. In this case, I'm not sure what to blame. However, I do know a manicure should last more than 2 days. Completely dissatisfied at this point. I wanted this to be my go-to salon since it's walking distance from my mom. The search continues. I'll be back in another salon once the week starts. Btw, the gel pedi (one toe) turned out just fine. Just in case anyone was wondering.

    After 3 days since my visit, my nails have changed discolored to an awful green/brown color (they were originally grey). Also, three have chipped. 0 stars!

    Went to Nail City today and was treated very nicely by Cindy. Loved the manicure. My nails look great. Nice, clean and trimmed.

    I've been coming here for at least 7 years or more. I love this nail shop, because it is very clean and the ambiance is really nice. It is also very spacious and the workers are really friendly and courteous. Michelle (owner) does a great job with all manicure needs. Overall great place to come and get your nail needs. They will not let you leave until you are happy with your job.

I made an appointment for my mom and I for 4:45 pm. We got there 30 mins earlier because I called the reservation line letting them know I needed to take a prior set off, which they told me to come earlier. We arrived at 4:15 & i didn't start until around 5:20/30. The girl doing my nails had a slight attitude but she did express she wasn't able to take a break or have lunch, so I'm extremely understanding. Unfortunately, all those factors affected her work. Her removing my nails and completing my new set took over 3 hours. I've been doing my nails for over a decade and I've never been to a place that took that long, ever! The work was nice (which she had another person finish towards the end) but the time, constant complaining, and waiting just couldn't out weigh the over all. I also did a pedicure which was below sub par because it is a SINK. There are no jets, no bubbles and my feet were rinsed with a disposable cup. At that point I was annoyed and just wanted to leave. My toe nails were not cut evenly and that made the already stressful experience worse. I did gel polish, and it looks just horrible. Not to mention the price tag was not worth it. It's less than a month later, I have 1 broken nail and the rest are slowly detaching from the acrylic. I will not be back.

My nails are chipping after 3 days and i have Gel on. Secondly, i got over charged for my service. I've gone here before and never got charged as much as i did in this trip. My pedicure got cut short for one because the owner was rushing to get my lashes done. I asked for a hologram design and was just given a square of it that doesn't cover my full name, i asked for more and she added some glitter pieces that STILL did not cover my full nail. With the price i paid i expected a service that's way more respectable and at least expected a Good Job to be done but i was left disappointed. She lost a customer, that's all i have to say.
