Dip peeling!!!!!

I'm not sure how this place has four stars. I am new to this part of Staten Island and went here based on the reviews, and I will never come back. For one, the woman who did my nails cut me four times. The woman who did my mom's nails cut her three times. Once is an accident, seven times in one trip is a PROBLEM. After cutting me, she continued to be rough. In addition, the woman who did my nails messed up the last step of the dip and had to redo it. She again didn't wait long enough for them to dry and I ended up with bumps and dull spots. Four days later, the top layer of the dip is peeling off and looks ridiculous. I cannot understand how they are rated so highly. The place also does not feel as clean as I would like a nail salon to be. Save yourself a trip and go elsewhere!

Love this salon! The owners, Chris and James, are super nice and inviting. There have been a couple of times I called to make an appointment last minute but they were always able to squeeze me in. Definitely recommend!

Place has changed drastically here over the past year. Under new management. Pedicures are amazing and usually take 45 mins. My gel manicures always come out great even with a nice shoulder massage. Kris the owner is the most nicest lady in the nail business. Always remembers my name and is always happy.

I've been going to Chris since early 2011 and I'm so happy her husband James and she opened up their own place!

Since I was 18 years old. My whole family comes here. Today my Father had a 1:00 PM appointment and was sitting there until 1:20 PM. No one addressed him to tell him that they were running behind and he had to pick my mother up from work at a specific time so he left and called the salon to tell them that he left and that he wasn't happy. When he called, a customer answered the phone. He didn't know it was a customer so he told them that he had a 1 o'clock appointment. He was sitting there for 20 minutes and no one said anything to him so he left and the customer responded with well. I had a 12 o'clock appointment and began rudely arguing with him. My father said that his family has been coming there for years and she said well then tell your family don't come here anymore. Completely unprofessional to have a customer answer the phone and talk to another customer however they want. I called the salon to ask for an explanation as to why they allowed a customer to answer their phone and treat my father that way, and the woman on the phone, Anna, responded because the customer wanted to. I then asked them if they let customers do whatever they want and she said it was because the owner did not speak English. I told him they could've had any worker that does speak English translate, ann not had a customer rudely answer the phone and argue with my father, and she responded that she could not control what the customer said. I told her that she could absolutely control who answers the phone and asked her if she thought it was professional to run a business that way, and she asked me what I wanted her to do about it very rudely. She then told me Jennifer would call me back and hung up on me. The lady on the phone was totally rude, kept trying to justify the actions of the owner and the customer, and did not apologize once. With Jennifer, there or not, someone could have still called my father or us and apologized for that act of unprofessionalism today and for allowing him to be attacked by another customer right in front of them due to their unprofessionalism and having a customer answer the phone. They just justified it by saying that they could not control what a customer said. I have been recommending this nail salon to everyone for years and unfortunately, I will never step foot in here again because of the amount of unprofessionalism that was displayed today. I am BEYOND shocked. This woman was giving me attitude on the phone as if she was the victim. The woman who spoke to my father, that way should've been kicked out of the salon immediately, and my father should have gotten an apology and not justification.

Went there for a waxing and was totally unhappy. First I booked the appointment online and when I…read morewalked in I told them I was there for my appointment for a full leg and bikini and they ask Face? No full leg and bikini. OK Get in the room and the tech does my bikini first, then says OK. I said, I am also here for a full leg. So she proceeds to do the legs. I felt that the she didn't leave the wax on long enough and there were times I felt like my skin was being scrapped with the stick as the wax was dried on it. I get home and wait for the redness to go away and then I saw that a whole line up my thigh was NOT done...from knee to hip. The next day (today) I see that there are more lines/patches that still have hair, so now I need to Nair what was missed. The whole purpose of getting waxed was so I didn't have to worry about my legs for my cruise this week. They may be excellent with nails, I will give them a shot at my pedicure tomorrow, but they need to improve their waxing skills before I go back for that service. ADDITIONAL REVIEW: I was contacted by the salon after posting the original review and they did the right thing! They offered to redo my waxing as the original technician was on a trial basis, she was not hired. They also gave me a discount on my pedi, which came out awesome. I will definitely go back for both services! Thanks Ladies
