Queen A Nail Spa - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

If I could give my review LESS stars, I would rate this business a NEGATIVE 10 stars!! I made an appointment while walking by the business on a Sunday morning. I inquired what was a good time and asked if they had around 2 o'clock open for two people. The owner, Amanda, wrote down my appointment for two pedicures at 2pm! She also took down my name and phone number. My daughter and I arrived promptly at 2 pm and were told to pick out a polish and then waited to be seated. We sat at the designated spot and put our feet into cold water! Ugh!! OK - didn't complain about it as I know folks can't pay for constant hot water throughout the day. My daughter was attended to and the girl started on her pedicure at 2:10 pm. Not bad. I on the other hand waited, and Waited and WAITED some more. FINALLY, after 45 minutes I decided to leave! I told Amanda that I would NOT be retuning to her establishment (after visiting several times before). I also told Amanda that if she didn't have availability she shouldn't have booked my appointment!! There are MANY other nail establishments in the area. Why book me if you don't have anyone to do the service??!?! SO - IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME SITTING THERE SOAKING YOUR FEET IN COLD WATER - DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE OF BUSINESS, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO TREAT CUSTOMERS AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO NAILS!! read more

They don't know how to cut nails and make them straight so disappointed! I told the women multiple of Times and still didn't cut enough. read more

Queen A Nail Spa - $30 for this ? - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

Wonderful place. Heard of it from a friend. Came on yelp and looked them up and made an appointment. My nails looked gorgeous afterwards. Considering the shape they were in when I got there. They are a small shop, very busy and very friendly. They also give the best shoulder massage, better than my husband. So I'm going to definitely return for my two week appointment. read more

Omg I finally found my dream nail salon..... everyone in the salon was super sweet and patient.... The ladies spoke about this new gel Technic The outcome was that I left with princess hands read more

So far so good!! I came here because I live on the block and I left really happy. The color choice was vast and the salon was clean. I did have to wait about 40 minutes (quoted 30 minute wait) but I took how busy it was on a soggy Monday night to be a good sign. I received a powder gel mani for $40. I am happy! read more

I recently moved to this area and I was looking forward to having this place be my new nail salon. The place is cute, clean and well appointed so I thought it would be a winner. Not So. For $20 the pedicure was rushed and underwhelming. Place only had one other person when I arrived so it wasn't crowded. The process lasted all of 15 minutes and consisted of nail clipping, a 1 sec file on each toe followed by flicking of the hand for what I assume passes for cuticle cutting. A 2 minute scrub followed by attendant asking if I'd like to have a longer foot massage. I said no and so she smeared some lotion on my legs then got a hot towel and wiped it off. Toes were then polished and I was off to the nail dryer with attendant giving a 45 second trap tug which I suppose was their version of a massage. (Yes, I timed that as well). I understand they aren't professional Massage Therapist but I've been to may share of nail salons and this "massage" was an epic fail. I'm not sure why only one other reviewer and myself had this experience. Other reviews attest to having had a fabulous experience..I sorely wish I could have had that that as well! Perhaps they chose the upgraded service. The good news? I'm a short train ride from my old place on UES where for $17 and about 30 minutes (sometimes more) of nail pampering, I don't leave feeling like I lit $25.00 on fire and watched it burn. read more

Well the nails were really bad bumps and the shape is just not it ,lady gave so much attitude unhappy I need this fixed

I loved this place! I made an appointment to get an acrylic fill through yelp and they took me as soon as I got there. The woman ( I think it was Amanda) who did my nails was so nice, and paid so much attention to detail! She even helped me pick out a color. They are very clean in every step of the process. The place itself is very cozy and clean. They have good prices as well. I will definitely be coming back!! read more

The powder gel manicure is miraculous! It takes a long time to put on but it lasts forever! If you haven't tried it yet, it is an absolute must. Mine lasted for four weeks without a single imperfection. I only got them re-done because my nails had grown so much. Prices are a bit higher than other spots in the area but everyone is very professional and accommodating- definitely worth it! read more

Queen A Nail Spa - Powder gel manicure four weeks later, not one imperfection. - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

Ive come here several times hoping they would realize im a regular and possibly do a good job on my nails. I always leave unsatisfied. Whereas im leaving unsatisfied now. My nails are never shaped properly here when i ask for simple square shape, try to convince me to to other than what im asking for, nails look horrible. Especially my feet. They seem to attend to regulars where i was drying my toes and another customer they were aquainted with was also, her nails looked PERFECT. Mine looked nothing similar. I have been here more than 6 times. Its a big miss for me. They are very kind but I rather have done my nails myself. read more

Queen A is a new salon here in Astoria, not far from the 30th ave subway. I couldn't be happier with how my powder gel manicure come out! Amanda is the perfect combination of friendly and hysterical. She had me laughing and relaxed all at the same time. She did a fantastic job on my nails, I have not one complaint. I will definitely be back! read more

Queen A Nail Spa - Acrylic tips and regular color! love it! - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

Really solid little nail salon. I took a chance went in since they were close to my apartment and my regular nail tech is out of town. I had no appointment, but was seen right away. Shop has many options for manicures, I opted for the powder gel and the results were fantastic (she even took a photo after she was done-- my hands are in the Yelp pics with the name ring on the pointer finger lol). I'm definitely a happy customer! read more

A mani pedi for $30, right down the street from my place? Oh, I'm already a fan. Good selection of OPI colors, a quick massage that comes with service, and also, this is the first place in a long time where they check your nails while they're drying, add on some more polish and let you know how much more time you need. That's a level of attention I wasn't expecting! It's 4 days later, and the nails are still going strong, with only a minor scratch at the tips of my fingernails. This place and the good-nature's folks who run it make the experience easily worth the price. Only thing - if you don't make a reservation, be prepared to wait possibly 20-30 minutes. They stay busy! read more

I thought by pics that a gel manicure with powder would be nice. It was a total waste of money. If you like thick unnatural nails, have at it. My pedicure looks nice but is still never return. read more

Queen A Nail Spa - THICK - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

Really like this place, I have been a few times since it has opened, I love the loyalty program and everyone is friendly. I have been the last few times and Lin has done my nails, I really like her she takes her time and does a good job she always smiles when I come in. I would recommend this place, it's clean and bright read more

The service was great, no doubt. Everybody was really nice. I got a mani-pedi which was supposed to be $30 but apparently they charge $10 for a design...($5 feet, $5 hands). It's pricey for me but I don't really get mani-pedis so I wanted to pamper myself a bit. Anyway, they have many nail polish choices and there is practically no wait time. It's very clean too! And if you do plan on being a long-term customer ask for their loyalty program - after spending $200 over time, the give you a gift. read more

Very expensive. They charged me $71 for powder gel and glitter. No other design. Ober the phone Leo said $51, but when I went there they changed their mind and charged $61. I gave $10 tip. There is a sign on the station for 15%-20% for tips. read more

i originally came here because of how amazing some of these reviews and pictures are and i was not disappointed! my nail technician, summer, did an amazing job with my dip powder nails. she took the time to listen to what i wanted, as i had brought in a photo for reference but wanted to change a few things. leo also helped advise me on how to get the stones placed on my thumb. a set of dip powder nails with tips is $48 here, which is the average price for salons around the area. after stones, chrome, and nail stickers, it only ended up being $66 before tipping. what a steal! the only downside is i got a pretty bad cut on my cuticle from the drill, but that's something i can overlook. i will definitely be coming here for my dip powder from now on, despite the 20 minute walk from my house, with my new loyalty card. nine more visits to go! read more

Queen A Nail Spa - Love my dip powder nails!! - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

I really wanted to like this place and I gave it two tries. It is local to my apartment so it would have been convenient. Unfortunately, my gel manicure pealed off in less than a week on both occurrences. It was very disappointing as the staff is nice and the place is clean. I can't speak to other services at the salon, but I would not recommend gel. read more

They electric buffered my nails to prep for gel the way they would acrylic. I did not realize the damage until after i got the paint removed. I will not be returning. read more

Huuuuge miss. Sad this place didn't work out. I got sns w tips and gel design. Paid over $100 for the gel to start chipping same night and it's not even a week in and i'm missing 2 nails. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back. read more

Had a regular mani and pedicure for 30 dollars. They were very professional and good at what they do. Will definitely come back

Great job! Always consistent. Love this place.. Astoria treasure. I always get gel short and my nails grow so long.. im so happy with my time here! Keep up the good work Queen A Nail! read more

Yesterday was my first time here, they are very very busy but saw me with in like 7 minutes. An acrylic set is 38 bucks, fair. At the end this simple set ended up costing me 63 bucks! I asked how in the world did the price jump so far, she said using gel polish brings the price to 58! That's 20 bucks just to use gel polish, I've never herd of that, most salons charge 5 or 10 bucks but 20, I was shocked. Then she said it went from 58 to 63 because of the "design" I got a simple gold nail sticker on my ring finger. They are very expensive but I must admit the man that did my nails does BEAUTIFUL AND PRESISE WORK, the only thing is they are so busy he didn't even put lotion on my hands and give me that little hand massage that most places do when your nails are done. I wanted to do a spa pedicure but my nails came out more then expected so I got a basic pedi. One young girl did the actual pedi, and one lady painted them. The paint job is very nice, as far as my pedi she really didn't scrub my feet well at all. The prices are really bad but they do great work, hence why the place was so busy. I will go back because I haven't found a good nail salon in Astoria (I'm new to the area). Next time I definitely won't be getting gel polish, I'll just go home and put my own gel top coat with my UV gel machine after read more

Queen A Nail Spa - Acrylic set starts at 38, this set ended up costing 63. beautiful work though. - Nail Salons Near Me - Astoria, New York

As I sit in this pedicure chair I'm reminded why I don't get mani/pedi in New York. The service is subpar and the woman doing my pedicure is rushing like it's busy. I don't think she wants to be at work today. She barely scrubbed my feet, barley filed my toes..I had to tell her to file my toes evenly. Not much detail was paid to giving me a thorough pedicure. After she painted my toes she didn't clean the nail polish from around my toes. I, again, had to tell her to clean up the polish. Save your money and decline the "deluxe pedicure". I didn't even get a chance to enjoy. Total waste of money! I chose this nail salon because the reviews seems decent and it's far from my apartment. My experience was less than memorable...definitely won't be back! read more

A little on the pricey side and they definitely sucker you into "choosing" what type of pedicure you want (they have a menu with four or five different scented options) those pedicures are $45. I really came because of the awesome reviews for powder nails, which is what I did. I loved the color I chose and they seem to be able to nail (no pun intended) the ombré look. So far my powder nails are going strong with not one chip or peel in sight. I will return, but hopefully can spend less. They do have a points rewards system where the more you spend, the more you earn and can redeem for some services. I will have to get some more info on that next time. read more

I love Amanda! She's excellent at what she does! She listened to how I like my nails done and delivered! Place is always clean, cozy, and relaxing when it's not busy. I do not like their pedicures as some of the technicians can be aggressive when removing gel polish which is concerning and they do not do a thorough buffing of the foot. Overall, they are friendly and have good customer service. read more

Finally a sanitary and beautiful nail salon on this side of Astoria. You get your own files and they use a plastic liner in the pedi chairs. I will definitely go back! Not open on time this morning so I had to go elsewhere. :( read more

This place is the worst nail salon I have been too and I'm a licensed esthetician, I was a first time client here an hour before they were closing and was getting a gel manicure and the manicurist made my nail bubble and got upset when I told her to fix it again cause she wanted to go home. They were all as a group talking about me and laughing and rolling their eyes in their Asian language which was so rude and made me come back the next day to fix this mess of a gel manicure. I do not recommend this place at all. Very unprofessional and not worth your money. read more

My friend and I had made 2 appointments at 5pm for a powder gel manicure. She's been a regular here so I decided to go with her rather than my usual place by work. We arrived early and waited, which was fine, we knew it would be busy for Halloween. One tech was available just after 5pm so I offered the spot to my friend and said I'd wait, assuming it would be shortly after her. 5 minutes turn into 10, and eventually one of the other techs suggests to her tech that she soaks my nails while I wait. Great idea, the other tech swings by and lets me know he'll be there in 5, then 3 min. I wait and wait, and then turn around and see all the techs have new customers. What? How'd they get in when I'd been waiting? I continued to wait. Well, now it's almost 6pm, my friend is almost done her manicure, and my nails are still soaking. Realizing that much exposure to acetone is probably no good, I take off the foil to entirely clean nails -- a bit alarming. Finally, ONE hour later someone comes to do my nails. My friend's manicure was done within 5 min of me starting mine. This is not what '2x 5pm appts should look like. No apology from anyone regarding the extreme delay. All in all, I spent 2 hours for a 1 hour job that wasn't even very clean. When I noticed one imperfection she said 'no it's too late now, nothing to do" in an agitated tone. I had to spend another 15 min at home trying to clean the edges. I was also told a matte coat would be $1 extra, not $7. If I knew it were regular gel, I would've just had a gel manicure to begin with and not powder gel. I told each of the 3 techs that I wanted matte and someone could've warned me about that first. Not impressed for this price point. read more

Friday night I was frustrated because i had gone to three salons and they were all booked. At this time it was 6 pm and i walked in so tired and almost giving up but i needed my nails done for the next day. I was greeteasked what i needed so i asked for a simple manicure and they took me in right away. I got the whole deal removal of cuticles massage hot towel for 10 dollars. Not only that my manicure is great three days later. No chipping. So i will be going back and hopefully getting sns . Thank you guys so much! :) April 28 Got powder gel done by leo.... Amazing thank you! read more

Great place to come for a quick manicure. Prices are reasonable and the space is very clean. They do a good job and get you in and out in a timely manner. read more

I've been here a few times but definitely won't be coming back. I made an appointment with Sarah specifically and she wasn't ready for me when I arrived (even though it's stated on Google that no walk ins are available due to COVID and you must make an appointment). After waiting for her for 30 minutes, another technician proceeded to do my nails (without even asking) and unfortunately did a terrible job. She didn't even apply the clear top coat evenly and my nails were left looking discolored, streaky and bubbled. Very disappointed especially because a gel manicure here costs $33 and I always tip generously despite being told to do so via the posted signage on each station. read more

I got a powder gel her recently and it was absolutely horrible. The male technician had no idea what he was doing. 1) He uses the electric File before even starting (no!!! This is terrible and ruins the nail!!! You should just buff) 2) my nails were so thick and oddly shaped and he failed to fix it with a file 3) after he applied the top coat there were bubbles and it was so thick it made my nail shape look even worse and 4) he finished the powder color and told me I was done. No cuticle cutting, no massage, no lotion, no nothing. Are you kidding me??! Seriously the absolute worse job ever I will give this place one more try with a technician named in the good reviews. read more

I really wanted to like Queen A. Leo and Amanda do impeccable work which is why this review isn't 1 star. This was my first time going. Firstly, the woman I started with cut my tips off but cut them so short where there was no room for my natural nails to even be there where I had to get tips again. She also did my pedicure. Leo's work is precise, I got french with different colors. Came out great, i loved it! I went home and went to open the refrigerator and my tip broke. Called and they said come back and we'll fix it, great. I went back the next day and Amanda fixed my broken nail identically to how Leo did my nails. I realized that another nail was chipped. Amanda fixed it and then did two extra coats of gel on top. I left and I was happy even with having to go back because I thought they'd last. A week later, half my gel manicure and pedicure chipped. It makes me sad because I wanted to come back. Unfortunately I will not because they were expensive and I expect them to last. read more
