Had nails (gel) done 3 weeks ago and was amazed at how nice my nails looked after. I havent touched them and theyre still intact (just nails are growing longer) Will definintely use them from now on!! read more

A neighborhood gem for sure - on most visits, it's fully booked out! Krystal, the owner, is fantastical! She is detail oriented and patient. Very much appreciate that she doesn't upsell and recommends services only based on your needs. I inquired about UV Gels ($65 on natural nails). Shen then said, if soft gel has been okay - don't need to get it! Linn, my nail technician today, went the extra mile! I mentioned soft gels tend to peel/break very quickly for me due to my brittle nails, she suggested for Power Gel ($38) instead. She added extra powder layers at the front hoping it'll last longer and be stronger. Not to mention the space is well maintained and huge! Definitely will be getting my nail glam ups here! read more

One of the worst experiences of my life. I've been getting my nails done for 15+ years and I've never had this kind of terrible service before. I asked them to give me a lter if UV gel to protect my already peeling nails under the color gel and the 'technician' told me they don't do that. WHAT? Don't come here unless you want your nails to look like garbage. read more

Extremely poor customer service. Especially Crystal that injured my fingers while doing my nails. She was aggressive and inpatient. When I complained to her and the owner several times they responded nastily. read more

My sister took me to this place for pre birthday treat and I was pretty hyped to get meni and pedi. We were welcomed and they started with us right away. I'm a ticklish person and when this lady who was massaging my feet with lotion I pulled my feet away and they were taking in their language which bothered me. Both manicure and pedicure were very quick and without massage. I've been went to different places where they take time with you and massage your hands and feet. Overall not bad, good place to do your nails very quick but if you want to get massages during mani-pedi go somewhere else. read more

I have been going here for many years to get my nails done and overall I am very happy with Parsons. I mostly get a gel manicure, or sometimes an SNS manicure, and 99% of the time I am very happy with the product. There is a male owner who can sometimes be a bit offputting (and definitely don't let him do your manicure) but I find that the rest of the staff are generally friendly and do good work. The thing I like most about Parsons is the speediness. Sometimes you do have to wait even if you make an appointment (though I feel like they've gotten better with that,) but once you get started, you get out of there very quickly which is most important to me because I hate spending hours in the nail salon. read more

So I had a nail emergency on a Wednesday night so I found this place through Yelp. I walked in and Kai took me right in. I decided to get a manicure and pedicure as well (originally it was just to fix a natural nail) I loved that they had great nail polish brands like OPI and Essie. She cut my nails to my liking and shaped them nicely. The pedicure was great as well. Idk if it's for the holidays but I got cute little toe-less Christmas socks so my pedicure wouldn't get ruined and body oil as well as gifts. I appreciate the gesture and the quick service I got here. Kai was very professional, quick and efficient. Overall the establishment is very nice, clean and big. Looks like I've found my new nail place in my new neighborhood! read more

So, I went to Parsons Best Nail & Spa because of a rave review and referral. I was really excited, because I've seen her nails before and always complimented them. Sigh. For our very first visit, I brought my mother with me so she could get a nice mani/pedi with me, and we arrived about 5-10 minutes late, because we couldn't find parking (tip: there is one entire street on the side of this salon that you can NOT park on, and apartments around the area, so be sure you come way early if you are driving there). We rushed into the salon and told them that we were sorry for being late, but we had an appointment. I expected to see - at the most - someone who had just started because the techs thought we were no-shows. We didn't see that at all. In fact, everyone seemed to have been at least halfway through their manis or pedis, so it was clear that regardless of our appointment, we would have had to wait. My mom and I picked out our colors and they sat me down first at a chair for my pedi. About half an hour later, they finally sat my mom down. I was mad, but stayed calm because I knew my girlfriend would still be back and I didn't want to cause trouble. My pedicure was nothing extraordinary - just your usual, plain jane pedicure. Well, except for the fact that on my right big toe, the polish was applied unevenly and created a little bit of a puddle on the side. Instead of just removing the polish, she just applied some more to the thinner parts and shrugged it off. It was a light pink/nude color, so I didn't make a big deal of it. We both went in for gel manicures, and I had certain designs in mind. After showing my tech the design that I wanted, her facial expression and the uncertainty in her "umm.. okay....." made me quickly go through other designs and pick a simple design with crystals. Bad move. She couldn't figure out how to do the design, although it was a very simple trident design, then kept stressing how each crystal was 2/$1 or $1 each and such. I got so frustrated after about half an hour of struggling to get the design correctly that I ultimately just left without getting what I wanted. *** IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO GRIND YOUR NAILS DOWN: don't let them touch your hands until they REALLY get it! I HATE when nail techs grind down my nails to make the gel stick for longer. I literally tell them "I don't care if the manicure comes apart tomorrow - DON'T file the tops of my nails PLEASE." Here, she said okay and then proceeded to take the electric sander and sand down the tops of my nails. I pulled my hand back and asked what she's doing and she said she was going to clean my cuticles that way. I was doubtful but let it go, and she proceeded to lightly sand my nails down, even after I specifically asked her not to. The worst part, to me, was the fact that it was obvious that time was passing and it was getting closer to closing time, and she started to really rush through things. Not only did she not put a hot towel on my hands, there was no lotion, no hand massage, and I felt the pressure of all the employees getting annoyed about the late session. I made the appointment far in advance, they knew what I was going to do and what time I was coming in - if it wasn't enough time, they should have just said so and asked for me to come in another time, instead of sacrificing my experience and their service. The one star is for the fact that the gel manicure itself without the crystals wasn't that bad. If you want a mani/pedi worth paying for, go elsewhere. read more

Parsons Best Nail & Spa - I love it 3 - Nail Salons Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

My boyfriends mom has been coming here for years and stands by them so I thought I'd give it a shot. I had a tip set appointment at 7pm with Summer. I only got seated at 7:30 which was a little frustrating since they close at 8. None of the staff really spoke to their customers while doing their nails like some other salons have, they just spoke amongst themselves which made it seem as if they were talking about me and other customers. When summer started to file my nails she filed them way to short on the top with the filling machine used for tips and it began to become painful. When she applied the first player for the gel tips and I placed it under the UV light it burned so bad I was about to tell her to forget my manicure. After the second coat the pain faded away and I was beginning to enjoy the manicure. It was a very time consuming process but I did not feel rushed nor did she rush the manicure. The time I left it was 8:30... 30 minutes after closing but they were all very nice about it. After I left there was still another customer drying their nails. I do admit it was pricy. I got a gel manicure with the coffin shape which is an extra $5 charge so I ended up paying $62 without tip (I gave cash tip). Parking is an extreme headache and the salon has an awkward layout however I do plan on going for my refill and would recommend read more

I have been wanting to try out this place for a while. It looked so homey and cozy from the outside and naturally I believed that is how it would be in the inside. The decor is extremely poor. Looks like they picked up a couple of artwork from the dollar store and carelessly hung it up. Floors, chairs, and stations were completely outdated. The nail polish selection was limited. But seriously, the most important part is the service and the results. My pedicure could not have lasted more than FIVE minutes!!! What kind of pedicure is that??? No foot massage, no exfoliation, no filing. I feel like I should not have to ask for that. It should be a given in any respectable nail salon. I would never go back and I recommend you not to waste your money here! read more

By far the worst place I've been to. I got a dip powder manicure and six of them were already cracked on the third day!!! I came back and the owner said it was MY fault. He asked one of the workers to fix it up. They shaved off a few layers and applied a new top coat. That just made my whole manicure crack to the point where it started to fall off. Very disappointed read more

I usually do my nail the day before some special occasions at this place. On Tuesday afternoon, I walked in around 6. Linda was the one took care of me. She seems professional，but the work she did was horrible. read more

TERRIBLEEEEEEE. I have tried numerous times to give this place a chance but they just cannot seem to get it right. I have gone to different people to see if maybe it was just the nail tech who sucked. But nope. They all do. I have broken nails within DAYSSS of getting a fill. I'm over it. Never again read more

Ask for Crystal. She is the best. I would only have her do my nails. She is very professional and friendly. She does my nails exactly the way I wanted to. I had to take one star off because I made my appointment with front desk at 1pm and Crystal wasn't ready for me until 1:30. They need to schedule better and not say yes to everyone... But other than that everyone was friendly and professional. read more

$20 + tip for a basic mani pedi is alluring, but they did a really shitty job. I went yesterday and Nichol took me. She kept jumping away or pausing to answer calls and do the books. She rushed through everything and didn't properly clean my cuticles. She even hit my painted nail with the book and I had to point it out! She said sorry and just painted over the scrape.... she didn't care about quality of work. My mom got a somewhat better experience with another manicurist, but I was surprised to see that she started filing and cutting my mom's nails on little table for cups on the pedicure chair!! They were waiting to get the same nail polish that was being used on me to do her feet so they kept her in the chair but that's just unsanitary!! There were nail filing and clipped nails on the chair!!! Overall, the entire mani pedi took less than an hour... I didn't expect a lot for the price, but I do expect them to have sanitary practices even if they're cheap. I'll be finding a new location to get my nails done. read more

Parsons Best Nail & Spa - I got these done last evening and they spent no time on my cuticles. - Nail Salons Near Me - Fresh Meadows, New York

I gave this place a second chance even after a horrible service I got the first time. Why? That's just how I am and more often than not, they never redeem themselves. What a disappointment. I got a pedicure both times and both took no longer than 10 minutes! My nails chipped in a few days, when usually it lasts for 2 weeks.Their service is a joke. I would never come back here again no matter how close it is to my place. read more

I'm a dude and I had a callous on the bottom of my foot from some shoes I bought. I came here for a pedicure with callous removal. Damnnnnnn now I know why girls love the nail salon. My nail salon lady worked my callous like it owed her money and got it out! I recommend this place for pedicures. read more

The prices are excellent! I just moved here from TX and pay 3 times what it costs here to have same thing done with have the service level.

I went without an appointment but they were able to get me one person just for manicure, 7$ a manicure it's a gift in queens, the manicure was great!! The inly thing that i don't like it's they are always in a rush and that make me feel uncomfortable, the girl that made my manicure was always on the phone...I'll try to go next time on a week day just to aavoid the rush hour... read more

One of the worst experiences ever. As soon as I walked in they just seemed like they didn't even want to be bothered. I asked for a fill-in and was automatically told I need to take my nails off and put a new set on (Nope, not happening today)! I politely declined and was seated at Linn's station. Linn then began telling me I need a new set of nails and it would cost $50. Again I told her "no" and she automatically got an attitude. AS she's filing my nails she making sure to point out where my nails are lifting and that she can't guarantee that the nails will last longer than a couple of days (there is absolutely nothing wrong with my nails. I saw right through their attempt to up-sell). Linn then begins filing my nails hard and one actually popped off. She then had the nerve to tell me I had to pay for it to get replaced and that if I did the whole set like she told me then that wouldn't have happened. We immediately began to argue (I'm not paying for something you broke on purpose in an attempt to prove your point). Once she saw I wasn't backing down she dropped the issue and began talking to her co-workers in a different language. Needless to say she did a HORRIBLE JOB! SHE USED GLUE AND DIPPED MY FINGERS IN THE POWDER!!! My nails where gritty and looked like I had sand under my nail polish! I had to reminder her that I needed to wash my hands. She didn't even want to put the lotion on my hands afterwards!!!! She piled a bunch of polish on my nails and then told me to go dry. She patted my shoulders (while the lady next to me got a full shoulder rub from her nail tech) then walked away. I looked at my nails and they had rippled because of the excessive amount of polish she put on them (I've never seen that happen before)! Barry, I'm assuming he's the owner, had to come and re-polish all of my nails because my nail tech was no where to be found! Overall: NEVER AGAIN!!!!! EVEN IF THEY WERE THE LAST SALON ON EARTH I'D RATHER BITE OFF ALL OF MY NAILS UNTIL I HAVE NUBS!! read more

I'm assuming they're under new management? I got a gel manicure and already after a week they started to crack, peel and turn yellow. Also, the pedicure was not that great either. I've payed less at another place before and got better service. I will not be returning to this location. read more

i gave this place one more chance and it was as horrible as the first time. my tech, linda, sped thru cuticle care/cutting and made me bleed twice. the treatment they use to stop the bleeding was disgusting because she applied the applicator tip DIRECTLY ONTO MY WOUND. thats fucking disgusting bro and i better not get some disease. if you're gonna cut this shitty, at least don't leave hangnails or loose skin. but of course there were tons of skin and cuticles left over from this botched job. massage chair was all sorts of messed up. lots of features didn't work rendering it pretty useless. will never, ever go back. i didn't even bother waiting for my nails to dry bc i wanted to get out and remove the already bubbling polish at home (extremely sloppy work). all in all incompetent. read more
