The staff are rude and if you point out something you don't like about your nails and want them to fix them, they will get upset and give you an attitude. I have tried to give them many chances by going back over and over again and every time I go there I have a bad experience. I thought I was being paranoid thinking they are racist and they only treat white old people with respect but after reading other reviews I realized I was right. read more

It was my first time going to this place, andI could say I have not complaints, there we were very friendly and respectful. The best nails that i ve never had. read more

I didn't think these Yelp reviews were serious, but I stand corrected! This place is awful. I'll keep this short and simple. Her name is Fiona, one of the owners. On numerous occasions she was just as rude as these reviews implied. And yes, they'll talk about you in their language if they don't like one tiny thing about you, it's true. I even canceled my appointment over the phone because she yelled at me for not telling her my name right away and I just couldn't tolerate her attitude. The first few times I told myself to not take it personally, but it's clear she has a chip on her shoulder. read more

Cheap but get what you pay for. Rush job after making me wait both times I had appointment. soaked my nails for 50 minutes because my person was busy with other customer. White Castle-like nail service. Avoid read more

If there was an option for 0 stars that would be the rating I would provide for this establishment. I did powder gel and pedicure color change. They had "perfect match" powder gel and nail polish for my toes however after she finished the powder gel they were not the same color. They refused to find a solution to match my hands to my feet after spending 50 dollars. They do not care about their customer's satisfaction! They only care about getting their money. Once it's collected they could careless about you. Terrible customer service. read more

Im just going to start by saying I'm not one for making a bad review. But I feel like this needs to be said. Ive been coming to Oscars for years (5+) so has my mother and sister as well. At this nail salon they do get very busy around holiday time or even on weekends so if you want to get your nails done, definitely make an appointment ahead of time. I usually get a Gel Mani & Spa Pedi. Its the way I treat my self every pay check, hence I go every 2 weeks. Fiona & Laura are the owners of the salon, very very nice and accommodating. If you want to get acrylics done I would definitely ask for one of them to do it, my go to used to be Jason but he is no longer at this location. Every 2 weeks I come i usually have the same girl and shes amazing even with the massage she gives me with the spa pedicure, not too rough. This time however I got a completely new woman. Im going to start off by talking about my spa pedicure. I was sat down immediately and she rushed me to my seat, brought me all of the gel mani selections, which I wasn't comfortable with. When I go in I like to take my time, it is my time to unwind so that through me off a bit. She rolls up my leggings past my knees which I found completely odd )which Ive never had done to me before) my usual girl rolls them up to my knees. So she Continues to apply the wrap around my calves which was fine. We got to the point where she was about to apply the acetone to my nails so i could soak off my previous gel... so she goes for the nail file instead as if shes going to remove the gel polish immediately... so i ask " don't you have to soak them first" and she responds with " I'm just taking off the top layer" so my initial thought was " oh boy this is going to be fun". She then soaks my nails and goes on to massaging my legs, she didn't know what she was doing. She used way too much scrubs so at this point she was scratching my legs with the scrub and disclaimer... WAY TOO ROUGH! My seat was literally shaking back and fourth... So as she is about to remove the scrub... (here is the good part) SHE TAKES A SPONGE! Now the sponge was behind all their equipment next to the pedicure tools but in my head I thought maybe they changed the way they do these spa pedicures... but then i really started thinking about it and thought " what if they use this sponge for CLEANING THE TUB!?" Immediately turned off. So I didn't say anything I wanted to see how this would end... so on to the massage, she was even more rough and quick ( with this specific spa pedi you get a 10 min foot massage) i timed it, it was 5 minutes. Horrible. So we finish and she seats me next to Fiona, I let Fiona know I had to wrap one of my nails because the nail broke at work all the way to my cuticle so Fiona tells me my woman could do it ( Jesus help me) so I'm sitting there looking at this woman's technique... as she was wrapping my nail the silk & acrylic were so bumpy ( I was seconds away from telling her to forget it) again, I figured let me just wait this one out... she ends up smoothing out the crazy bump now leaving an indent in my nail so its not completely smooth ( can tell its a wrap as you can see in the pic attached)...So she's at this point removing my old gel, ( again very rough) and it almost felt as though she didn't know what she was doing... hence before she applied my gel polish, she ALMOST forgot the base coat, so i made a comment saying " don't you need a base coat?" And she told me no you don't need it then Fiona told her its gel, and my woman played it off as though she forgot.... ( I couldn't wait for this to be over) shes finishing up and again gives me another very rough massage, shaking my body in the process... Sucks because its the only nail place I go to know because they're clean & i know them on a name basis as they know me... I'm usually very lenient when it comes to who does my nails ( at least for gel & pedis) & I tip them very very well. Don't know what happened today, but this changed my view... I feel like every one that works there knew what was going on but didn't really care... i need to reconsider if there will be a next time, if so I need to ask for my usual girl since shes always there when I go. Just be weary of who you get, most girls are very nice but definitely ask around if you're from the Bayside, Whitestone area if you go to this salon and who to let do your nails. (Gel polish is Match #47) Hope this helps! read more

I don't normally post reviews but this experience was terrible. It was my first time coming to Oscar's for a gel manicure. I expected my gel manicure to last the 2 weeks, especially for the price I'm paying. Instead, my nails started to peel and chip after only 4 days. I am so disappointed that it didn't even last a week. Don't waste your money here. read more

This place is on a strip with 5 competing businesses, I have not visited the other locations but really enjoyed the service here. I got the powder for $30. My bff and I walked in without an appointment, we were serviced pretty quickly, 10 minute wait tops. I believe my tech was new because she didn't give my nails enough time to dry and when I walked out I noticed a lot of imperfections and came back. My bff's tech actually apologized profusely and fixed my nails immediately. Great customer service! They were super nice and friendly, on a first name basis with many of their clients. This is definitely my new go to spot. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. They are extremely overpriced and very rude. They talk bad about customers right in front of them (in their language). I went in for a full acrylic set and a polish change on my toes, because I didnt have time for a pedicure too. The girl was mad I didnt want a 50$ pedicure so told me its 10$ to take the original gel off my toes...for regular polish change she said $22.00 .. all said and done i got the gel polish change and she charged me $28.00 for a GEL POLISH CHANGE on toes... the girl was EXTREMELY RUDE and ignored me when I spoke to her. ***********WHEN YOU WALK IN SHE SITS ON THE RIGHT SIDE , SECOND TO LAST CHAIR.********Horrible for business. I also got an acrylic full set that she also did...which is listed on the price list for $40.00... but i chose Gel Polish..Gel Polish is usually always an addition but somehow she ended up charging me $62.00 for an ACRYLIC FULL SET with Gel POLISH. TOTAL PRICE FOR ACRYLIC FULL SET AND POLISH CHANGE ON TOES CAME OUT TO $90.00 plus tax and plus tip in which I tipped 20% regardless. SO I WALKED OUT SPENDING $112.00!!!!!!!!!! When she brought me my credit card slip to sign she was standing over me hovering watching me write the tip. I felt EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE AND ANXIOUS. When I get my nails done I want to relax and feel peaceful.... This women made me feel the opposite..... very uncomfortable and taken advantage of...I will NEVER return!!!!!!!!! read more

Rude! Irresponsible! Waited an hour and 40 minutes for a pedicure, when finally in the chair they took a customer who had just walk in. I have been going to them for a while because I like how Vicky does my pedicure and I make sure to always tip her very well, but after what they pulled on me today I will never be back here again. Very disappointed. Now off to find a nicer and more reliable nail place who understand loyalty. read more

I have been going here for a year and I'm always happy with my nails.The staff is nice and friendly and the place is clean and organized. Two times I cheat and I hade to go back here to fix it .Thank you Oscar nails & Spa . read more

There was a review on this site that was filtered so that nobody would easily see it. I had the same experience and so I am repeating it: I was a loyal customer at this nail salon. During my last visit I was unhappy with my service so I very politely made mention and opened discussion. The employee became irate, left me standing there, spoke to other workers in another language so that they then turned around and looked at me at once like I had three heads! The first employee would no longer talk with me although I approached her several times to resolve the conflict. Customers have a right to comment on the services that they are receiving, especially if it is being botched up. The response that I received was inappropriate to say the least. Also, the salon is not sanitary and the pedicure seats are broken. I will not be returning! read more

$13 for mani-pedi? I'm so there. Even though there were some bubbles on my nails =/ It's okay though. I got so many compliments on my nails, from my boss, some random girl, and friends. I also get distracted easily while typing... read more

I've been coming to Oscar Nails for almost 8 years! I am always happy with my nails. They see me at my appointment time or try to accommodate when I forget to make one. They have a great selection of color gels and powder dip. They are friendly and it's clean! I won't go anywhere else. read more

I've always liked Oscar's since they've opened although I don't always go to them to avoid the wait and then I regret it immediately after. Other places on that exact block are all either too expensive, leave my nails with nail polish on my fingers/cuticles or just overall aren't courteous. As it says in other reviews, the mani/pedi is only $13 or $20 together with a spa pedicure, which is just an added bonus, adding an exfoliant and a little more massaging to your pedicure. Always a friendly staff, and I've found your best bet against a wait is to call up and make an appointment, they always honor it and it's just a quick phone call! :) read more

I have been a loyal customer for years. They recently remodeled and the new pedi chairs are quite luxurious. They even have usb ports for charging your phone while you get a back massage and pedicure. Laura, Fiona, Sophia, and all the staff are kind, skilled, and hardworking. I am guaranteed compliments on my nails every time. And, if I chip or break one, they are so generous about fixing it up between appointments. read more

Only place I go to get my nails done! The girls are very sweet and nice, and the prices are super affordable. There's street metered parking and residential parking around the area. If you come during the weekdays around 6/7PM, be prepared for a wait since it is a busy time. read more

Was referred to this place by a friend of mine who has been going here for at least ten years. She typically gets acrylic gel nails, and as per usual they were gorgeous! I went with a mani-pedi from Sophie and I loved it so much. She was amazing and I'm obsessed. I will be back! read more

Oscar Nails is my favorite nail salon! I have been going here for years and hope they never close cause I can't imagine going anywhere else! I get my nails done here and my eyebrows waxed here. My manicures and pedicures always last me at least a week and a half and I don't do gel, always regular. I love the huge color selection they always have available as well. I also love that whenever you make an appointment, that time is respected. I've never waited more then 5-10 mins passed my appointment time. Also, there are plenty of times I didn't have an appointment and I was still taken. Oscars is a great neighborhood nail salon with quality people working for them! read more

Rude, obnoxious, staff! There are quite a few salons on this block which you'd be better off going to. The only reason I ended up here was because Bling was closed and Johnny's was packed. Never again. Update: To make matters worse, my gel manicure chipped the very next day! Oscar Nails is the absolute worst. read more

I have been coming here for four years. I love this place. I drive from 20 minutes away because they have the best prices and the best quality. You can get a pedicure for $12. I love the owner and I go to Lisa. But, all the women there know how to make your nails gorgeous. I highly recommend that you choose this nail salon. I am so happy I found them. All my friends from my gym go here. We are very pleased. Excellent customer service. Always a positive attitude. Very clean space and tools. read more

Way too conveniently located for a quick mani/pedi before hitting the road back to Boston on my trips home from NY! I love this place. Consistently really good service, and a great mani/pedi job! I'm a total snob when it comes to getting a great manicure, and I always come here in the midst of the 6-10 other manicure places in the one block radius! Currently $13 for mani/pedi, $20 for a spa pedicure (with free manicure)! I told them that they really need to open up in Boston, they'd make a killing up here! read more

They have a good range of colors and decent prices (which have recently gone up so that isn't as much of a pro anymore). My impression from the last few times I've tried this place is that unless you are a long time regular they don't pay attention to detail. I asked for my cuticles to be cut and I felt that the nail tech was only going through the motions of it. Somehow felt like I left with them looking messier than I went in. They get a lot of business so I felt rushed in and out. Besides that they do a decent job of painting your nails but at this price range I can find someone who can leave me with a product I am actually happy with. read more

I have to say; I'm not a person to take time to write reviews negative or positve. This one deserves the time. I frequent this salon as do 5 of my family members. While I have never been overly impressed I was also never displeased like today. I wemt in for a pedicure and waited over an hour for service without apology. Ok, so I read amd looked at my phone like a gentleman. When it was time to pay one of the workers wanted me to pay $6 extra because she claims to have not charged me properly the last time I was there (2 months ago). I am sure I paid properly and said so while standing there shocked and embarassed in front of the other customers. I could go on and on about how angry I am but I won't because I'm not angry. Instead I am insulted and though they had no proof and I am 100% sure I paid properly 2 months ago...I still tipped today and gave them the $6...with one condition....that I won't return for service here anymore. I immediately called the family members who come here and asked them not to patronize this place ever again. To the Owner...you know better than this. Shame on you...you dont balance your checkbook on the backs of unsuspecting customers. It's classless and not a recommended American business practice. I hope you can make that $6 you got from me today last because it cost you 6 customers in total. You don't belong in our community anymore either; this neighborhood is for decent people not thiefs. read more

Loves my beautiful nude gel manicure with acrilic tips! So natural looking and so classy. Thank you Laura for taking me so last minute and making time to perfect this for me ! I love it! As for the salon, I always have a great experience when I come here. I always have to bring my 6 month old with me to get my nails as done because I don't have help at home but the ladies here are always so sweet and mother friendly they take my son for me while I get what I need done and entertain him! Even when he might cry, they'll tell me to relax and they will calm him down. Will always continue to come here! read more

I just left Oscar's nails. Laura did a fill-in, gel polish & design. My nails look gorgeous. She was sweet and did just what I wanted. Don't believe phony reviews. Place is clean and nice. Go there!!!! read more

If It wasn't because I have to give a star to write a review, then I wouldn't have given them not even a single star. I would rate this place zero stars if could for real. This place is extremely unhygienic and that they reuse every single tool they have in the store for different customers without even disinfecting the tools in between usage. Are they trying to spread COVID to people? I got no idea but what I do know is that this place is the worst of the worst nail spa I've ever visited in my life and that's without exaggeration. I would not recommend this place at all since it is 1. Extremely unhygienic and 2. They have terrible service and as well as terrible treatment for nails. Don't recommend this place to ANYONE who is trying to get their nails done and I will DEFINITLY never come to this place ever again to do my nails. read more

Not sure if everyone is terrible at the place but this was my first time here and the lady that did my manicure and pedicure was terrible. I'm pregnant and asked her not to use acetone. She did it anyway. Then went on to telling me how my nail polish sucked. Well.. it's water based and made for pregnant women. At least for Mother's Day she should have had a better attitude. Will never be back. read more

MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A RESERVATION!!!!!!!! Came in around 10:15AM on a Wednesday and I didn't think an appointment would be necessary so I ended up waiting for an hour or more... Was super upset because I asked them many times when it was going to be me, they said soon... And soon became an hour wait. They said they take appointments first. I came in earlier than 4-5 appointment people and they ALL WENT BEFORE ME. Overall, the people are nice here and they get your mani and petis done quickly. read more

Most of the time I really enjoy this salon. I've been coming here for years but there are some things you will have to deal with when you come here. First, sometimes the gel polish is NOT up to par. I often have to come back the next day to have some or all of my nails repaired. They do not charge for repair, as long as it's next day, which is great. Also, when you make an appointment it RARELY means anything as they will see walk-ins before you. I have waited up to 45 minutes with an appointment. So if you have the time, go for it and expect a wait. Your best bet is to come early during the day on weekdays. Also they tend to have you sit with more than one nail tech. The girl who does my pedicure rarely does my manicure. So all in all my experience has been really great and really crappy. On the hunt for a nail salon that values customer time and follows a schedule! read more

I'm always nervous about trying out new nail spot. I like the place that I've been going to for years. It's closed on Sundays and it's a drive from home.

My nails always come out nice, they last & they will fix any imperfections that occur days after mani/pedi for free. I'm always seen promptly even when they're busy. I've got tips, gel, SNS and many pedicures here and I love them every time. My favorite nail techs are Brenda and Fiona. read more

I go for Acrylics and gel manicures with Jason and it last almost three weeks. I always get compliments on my nails. I use to go to one of the other salons on the block where it was crowded and loud, and the owner was always yelling at someone. Now I come to Oscar's for a relaxing mani /pedi.

The only reason they are getting a 2 star review is because they are very sanitary all items are new and sanitized before use other than that the pedi was less than to be desired. read more
