I got a regular polish manicure. They did warn me that my nails may break and urged me to get gel, so it was partially on me. Further, edges were not well smoothed, there were MANY air bubbles . In addition, the woman that did my nails looked at the lengths and decided it was "good enough" (there was QUITE a visible difference). After four days, I had one nail cracked in the pink part, and 4 more additional broken nails. Due to how much she shaved off + breakage, here is my nail length (1 inch of natural nail that took 2 months to grow gone). Will not come back, or cheat on my nails looked artist again :( read more

I called ahead to get my nails and toes done and waited after arriving, only for the nail technician to start removing and filing off my French tip before telling me she could not do my nails. This was extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. I spent my time waiting just to be turned away after the service had already started. If you were unable to provide the service, that should have been communicated before touching my nails. I will be reporting this experience to the board because customers deserve better communication, professionalism, and respect for their time. read more

Called made an appointment. They took me about 10 minutes after as they were busy. The salon has a restroom, a waxing room, pedicure chairs with massage features, about 8 nail stations and it's sanitary. The only salon who ice seen openly using an autoclave to disinfect their tools. Went in for a gel x set and eyebrow waxing and was out in about an hour. The tech who did my nails was really kind I wish I could recall her name, but she did a great job. Cindy waxed me and I was very happy with my brows. Parking is available at meters out front and around the block. Limited free residential parking and a pay to park lot just behind the business. read more

I thought this place was only ok but because the prices are cheaper than others in the area, I bumped it to 4 stars. I walked in around 3pm and got a gel manicure and a regular pedicure ($46). I was seen immediately and given a box of colors to choose from. One lady did my hands while another did my feet (wish I asked for their names!). They were fast and efficient. We didn't speak much to each other, which was totally fine! It took about an hour. I paid via credit card and left. This place is no frills, and their prices accordingly match it. Don't come here if you're looking for a super luxurious, personable, and relaxing experience, but if you just want your nails to look good and to be in and out, this is the place for you. read more

The staff is great owner is very unwelcoming and after coming here for 15 years I was treated so poorly today we're Victoria refused to service me any further and told me I wasn't welcome back all because my nail had bumps in the gel x process. This was due to the staff not allowing me to wash my hands after buffing my nails and filling. This is no way to be treated , very disappointed won't be coming back Do not wax here the owner double dips the sticks after it touched your skin . Very illegal I always see the owner and manager pouring acetone to the nail Polish which is actually very toxic. They do this so that your nail chips quickly and you return. The acetone acts as a paint thinner. Do your research guys read more

I got a gel manicure on 7/12 and this is what it looks like today, 7/14. I have been on a business trip so I've done no housework, barely been on my computer, etc. so I've arguably put less wear on them than usual. The manicure itself was very rushed and two cuticles were also completely bloodied on day one. On the other hand, I've had a couple good manicures here in the past too so moral of the story, the place is very hit or miss. If you do come here, my advice is to make note of a nail tech you like and only ask for that person and definitely make note of who you DON'T like and make sure you don't get that person. read more

A client of mine came in with Insta-gorgeous nails and I wanted a new set of Gel-X in the same style. She professionally and gently removed my acrylics (while I was getting my great gel pedi in the spa chair) and then she proceeded to create the most stunning Winter Wonderland look ever! Even though the salon was super busy, every single nail artist was patient and kind towards all their clients, whether they were walk-ins or long time repeat customers. Thank you ladies! read more

They do a great job with nails here. I've been coming here for the last 5 months or so, and i've been pleased every time--sometimes even shocked with how long the polish lasts on my nails. They do non-spa pedicures at these tables as well for a cheaper price and still the same quality. They put in a plastic covering for all pedicures, great for being sanitary! You can get a color change for $7, a manicure for $12, and a mani-pedi for $23. It's a steal in terms of getting your nails done for the quality they do. I use regular nail polish and it lasts usually about a full week without chipping at all (and I am very active). They use a gel top coat to finish it off without the UV radiation for drying it, which I think helps with not chipping. It is a pretty small nail salon, and not super clean given the building is older. They have 4 spa style seats and then 8-10ish tables for manicures. If you can go during the "working day" it is not busy, but after about 5pm or on the weekend it can be busy and there may be a 20 minute wait. I recommend calling and making an appointment ahead of time if you are going during busier hours. WAXING: They do have a room in the back for waxing. Very affordable pricing especially if you compare it to the specialized wax studios, it can be 50% less here, and they do a good job. Underarms are $10, and the tweeze anything left over. PARKING: There is metered parking out front and on the side street. There is also a public lot behind the salon that charges $1/hour. If you drive further down the side street there is free 2 hour parking by the apartments; however, read the signs because there is street sweeping somedays of the week. The employees are really sweet and if your meter is running out, they will go put money in for you! read more

Nails had dirt underneath them after they were finished, I told her and she cleaned them up, but overall this was one of the least thorough manicures I've ever had. She used silver nail polish instead of rhinestones even after I said I didn't mind that they wouldn't last long. It's just weird silver clusters on my nails now, not the look I was going for at all. I think they look sloppy and uneven. I really regret coming here today. 0 stars. I'm going home and getting the acetone out. read more

They are super efficient, but do amazing work too. Constantly checked in to see if I was satisfied/happy. I'm not really good at picking colors, so I just showed them an inspiration pic and they were able to nail it (pun intended :))! Furthermore, their prices were beyond reasonable.

I got a gel manicure and pedicure but as soon as I left and got in my car, one of my nails was chipped. When I got home I saw that more of my nails were getting chipped.

Sadly, today was the last day I will be coming. The cuticles on my left, middle finger were cut carelessly and some of the polish was not properly removed.

The first very nice woman clearly had zero clue how to do dip glitter (which I explained at the front exactly what I was wanting to do, which I have done here before). Cut to two hours later this woman (not her fault, she didn't have the right experience and also couldn't understand what I was saying) had taken a very, very long time to do a semi-simple job. The lovely man who took over for her and completely erased everything she did for two hours was their normal efficiency. But because they didn't have the time, the job is completely botched. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful he did it, but I also did not want to be sitting there for 3.5 hours for something that would have taken the second man 1 hour to do. It's been 3 hours and my nails are peeling. If you can't do something, then don't say you'll do it. Worse yet, if someone spends two hours literally ruining a customers nails - the next person who does it better have the time to fix it correctly, and you should be mindful to make sure it's done correctly. Or say come back some other time? I'm not sure. But what I'm sure of is today was a complete waste of my day, time, probably theirs as well, and I paid full price and got a very poor result. Been coming here for years and not sure I will come back. I adore the guy who jumped and fervently "fixed" a very poor job... but he also very clearly didn't finish it well. And I wasn't happy about sitting through watching the botched job either, so it was never a favor For reference - the mint is what I left with today after 3.5 hours, which is now peeling. And not sparkling. And not properly sealed because the second time around was insanely rushed. The pink/blue/purple was the same glitter in March. Took one of their artists 1 hour at most, stayed for weeks, and wasn't $90. Inconsistent.

Patrick and the entire team are incredibly welcoming, professional, and truly make you feel like part of the family. Patrick always takes his time to make sure my nails look perfect, and the quality of work is outstanding. The salon is clean, relaxing, and the staff are always happy and friendly, which makes every visit such a pleasant experience. It's rare to find a nail salon that maintains such high standards year after year. If you're looking for a reliable nail salon with skilled technicians, great customer service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Serenity Nail Lounge. After 6+ years of coming here, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my nails!

To be clear, the male nail tech Patrick was sexually harassing my friend while working on her…read morenails. He was so distracted by asking her how old she was, where she lived, if she had a boyfriend, that she was so pretty, that they should go out sometime, that he liked the way she smelled, that she was so soft, etc that he clipped her skin and over filed onto her skin multiple times and wouldn't let go of her hand. She kept looking at me but was too scared to say anything in the moment. I noticed he would lean in closer to her occasionally, but I didn't realize that that was when he was saying these really inappropriate things to her. I wish I knew so I could have gotten her out of there sooner. Notice how Patrick never denied harassing my friend in his super professional response. On top of everything, the set she got was ugly and poor quality, just like mine (see pics). Ladies, be so careful around that nail tech. He is not one of the girls. It's even more alarming that he's the owner. I can only imagine how he conducts himself with his all female staff in the off hours. Edit: Patrick, please don't lie about this. I was there.

I came in today 1.5 hour earlier than my appointment. Angie greeted me as always, so friendly while navigating a busy room. Professional and efficient. She checked to see if the ladies could take me early and they could. Next I HAVE to give Lisa her flowers. So I have been coming here for YEARS and though I am not picky about who does the pedicure service, I want someone that hears me and is gentle. I have ankle and some joint issues and in the past (not necessarily here), I have had people move my feet and ankles in position that are painful because they feel more comfortable if my feet are in a certain position. Then when I have to move it to be comfortable they get upset with me. What I love about Lisa is she is gentle. If I am uncomfortable she tries her best to work with the fact my foot might be tilted a bit and makes it work. She is detailed and listens to the shape and requests I might have. She is so sweet and I love having her do my nails. I know I dont talk much when I am there but I REALLY appreciate the women who do my nails and the care they take.

Seriously? Seriously. Too bad yelp doesn't give half stars, because this dump really deserves 1.5 stars. I'm feeling generous so I'll just round up. This is your typical Vietnamese-run joint, and I've seen my fair share in SF and LA. The catch is, the service is rude as all get out -- and by that I mean I'm preeeetty sure these ladies were talking mad trash about me when I complained about having to wait when i ALREADY scheduled an appointment (I mean, I'm allowed to complain right? I know most salons can't take you right away but let a girl grumble geesh!) So there i am, already feeling kind of scandalized by these squawking women who are clearly talking about me in their language, all the while switching back to sweet talk in English when they're addressing me directly. At this point I'm already feeling intimidated, and then they land me with some older lady who acts like she's never held a bottle of nail polish in her life. It was one of those deals where I was just WILLING that she was just making mistakes she would clean up later...which of course didn't happen. I had to ask to get her to get the smudges off from around my cuticles. I mean, I know it's not the fanciest of salons but I expect to at least get a paint job coloring IN the lines when i go to a professional place for a manicure. By the end of it, I just wanted to scram on home and repaint my nails MYSELF. Seriously not worth it, and the most UNCOMFORTABLE experience. Ever. Do yourself a favor and skip out on Queen Nails, because you ain't gonna be treated like a queen, that's for darn sure. read more

No. Just no. Don't even bother. The WORST service. Walking in here felt like walking back into my old high school -- the women were catty, and I don't even know why. It's not like they have the cheapest prices around (ahem, shops down yonder were hawking mani-pedis for $15-17!), and it's not like they're a luxurious place or anything. I mean come ON, your store name is in bright red Arial typeface font surrounded by lightbulbs. This is not New York City's elite nail studio, so stop treating me so badly! I was a walk-in without an appointment so they kind of tossed me aside and made me wait, and the lady who did my nails barely spoke a word to me except to ask what shape I wanted my nails to be. The paint job started chipping the next day so I had to go to a different salon to get them redone a few days later. Waste of money -_- read more

This place should be called QUEEN OF NAIL FUNGUS!!! My mom and I got nail fungus infection from here. Such a pity. Now we have to be on oral meds for a while and it's been a problem because the type of fungus that's from this salon is RESISTANT to a lot of Medications. Doctor said he has had other patients who also went here and for same strain any he is reporting them to health department. So nasty!! And another thing is Victoria is so cheap she puts paint thinner in her nail polishes to make them last longer as opposed to buying more ! As a result they chip and peel 2 days after you get your nails done. And she make you wait forever and they are super rude !! Honestly why would anyone go here ? read more

Been going here for the passed 5 years, so I think it's about time I give it a review. I really enjoy getting my nails done by the lovely ladies at Queen Nails. They are super quick, even as a walk in customer, I usually don't have to wait for more then 5 mins. Besides being fast, they are also very good. I mean it's not like a $80 experience at a Spa, but for $20 (hands and toes), it's as good as it gets. I would go during weekdays in the am right when they open around 10:30. There are usually just a few customers so I can also get a foot massage. They do get really busy during the weekends, especially during summer months. read more

Always fast and friendly. When busy you might have to wait a few but they move pretty quickly and multi-task so they get to you faster than most shops. They do a good quality job all with a smile and even converse with you. Not the whole time you are covering your ears cause they are yelling to each other in a different language. They make sure to greet you as soon as you arrive and see what you need. I been to shops they just look at you and ask you again in a few mins. Overall very happy and they do a great job read more

Clearly these people understand what it takes to keep a nail salon up and running, espcially when the block is flooded with them...Customer Service! Most nail places you come in, sit down, and they rush through their service leaving you with an "ok" manicure and pedicure. But with a recession going on and tons of competition, this place takes the time to serivce you how YOU want it. Affordable, and good location. read more

It's a pretty no-frills place (except for the big screen plasma TV hanging on the wall) but that's no problem for me because you can't beat a $7 manicure. Well, I got what I paid for when Brenda annihilated my ring finger cuticle. It wasn't just a slip in the cuticle trimming - there is a pretty substantial canyon in my cuticle now from the cut. She was using cuticle clippers that were soaking in alcohol (not the blue anti-fungal/anti-bacterial/anti-viral that is typically used to clean instruments) so I was pretty scared that I might get an infection. The cut was bleednig pretty badly and she put some stuff on it to "stop the bleeding" but all I really wanted was some alcohol to make sure I didn't get MRSA or something crazy like that. Brenda resisted and insisted that the other liquid she put on my cuticle contained "medicine." Who knows? Finally after pushing I got some alcohol on the cut. Did Brenda apologize for the cut? No. Was I given a discount for her error? No (granted I know, the price is already very low). Here I am two days later and luckily there is no sign of infection, although the area is still pretty tender. As far as the rest of the experience, the polish job was OK. But please think twice before getting a manicure here.
