    Globs of uneven sheer polish.
    Sue K.

    Update: I found a local place that was sooo appreciative for my business. They did an amazing job for half the price of Ruby's. Try a néw pl I've been coming here for over 3 years and other poor reviews are correct that there is zero loyalty or customer service for repeat customers. The prices have gone thru the roof and if you ask for any customization or a fix to something wrong, it's like your bothering them and it's your fault. This was my gel manicure after 3 coats of sheer that ruby herself globbed on with not a care that I wasn't happy. It speaks for itself. She said "if you want a more creamy color, next time choose a more creamy color". The place is spotless but the customer service is horrible - the words sorry or apology for inconvenience or we will make it right are not in Ruby's vocabulary. It's time to find a new place. Does this look like a $40 gel manicure? I'll come back if I can get some kind of acknowledgement of how bad t

    Manicure in OTHER salon.

    Their color gel pedicure is 69$. You can get one for 37$ on Francis Lewis. Prices are ridiculous. What's more ridiculous is that people pay them. I made an appointment for a color gel pedicure and the receptionist the didn't even know the price. She quoted me $49. When I walked in, I sat down, picked out a color took off my socks. I was ready to begin the pedicure when she told me to reconfirm with the nail tech. When I asked the nail tech how much it would be for color gel pedicure, she said 69 because it is an additional $30 on top of the regular pedicure price. I said never mind and told her I will not be doing the pedicure today and I began putting on my shoes. The receptionist then came and asked what the issue was. I told her that $69 is too much and she's acted surprised by my response. She then asked if I wanted to come back for UV gel fill in. I said not thank you. I then went to Francis Lewis and was able to get a UV gel fill-in with a design and a color gel pedicure for $102. Pedicure was 37 and UV gel fill in 50+15 for design.

    I would recommend!!! Staff is super nice and welcoming. Very helpful with requests. The salon was very clean and they clean their tools. The owners were very talkative. Also parking right out front!

    Polite. Efficient. Clean. Very professional! Ruby Everyday will be my go-to from now on. Probably the best nail salon I've come across in Whitestone. This place can get pretty busy so be sure to make an appointment!

    Summer nails... feels like fresh lemonade  Perfect place for nails in Whitestone

    I had a really cute manicure and pedicure, my only problem with the salons at the area is that because of the language not always you can have a nice talk with the technicians

    Always a wonderful experience here.. staff are attentive and the owners are lovely.. Spa pedis are a must here! Salon is clean and beautifully decorated. TIPS in CASH!! ^^

    Ruby Nails does an amazing manicure. The salon is very sanitary and efficient. It costs more than most salons in queens but I think it is worth the price.

    Love my nails!

    This is by far the best nail salon I've ever been to and best part is, it's a couple of blocks from my house! They have a wide selection of colors that you can choose from but I tend to lean towards french and nude colors. Sometimes when I get my nails done, theres a lady who gives out free shoulder massages for about 1 or 2 mins as a complementary service.. I've gotten gel many times and they always last me for more than 3 weeks. Carena is very detailed and precise when it comes to doing nails. She takes a bit longer than others but that's okay because I know it's going to last a long time. I work with my hands a lot so its amazing how it doesn't chip. Lynn does an amazing job too!

    Very pleased with our mani pedis. Kevin did my nails and he did an awesome job :) I bite my nails so they were a mess. He took his time cutting all the cuticles and making sure the polish went on smoothly. I love their interior and everything seems to be very clean. It is a bit pricey here ($27 for mani and pedi) but I think its worth it.

    Took this right after.

    This place is pretty pricey but, nail technician Summer made it worth it. She did such a great job with my acrylic gel tips and pedicure. I was very satisfied with my experience here although prices are steep for services. Idk if I would go back because of how expensive it is but, if I had the money... I'd go back $80 for my acrylic gel mani + 29 for pedi. If you wanna treat yourself, I'd recommend this place! My friend also enjoyed her services with Nancy. The techs all seem very meticulous with their work and the salon is very spa-like and high end. This place is very sanitary and has a nice relaxation feel to it the moment you walk in~

    $12 for a regular mani plus taking off an old gel manicure for another salon. The salon is very clean and relaxing. I was pleasantly surprised. it was my first time here and even though the girl was a little hard on my nails and didn't make them as square as I asked, I would come back here in the event that my usual nail salon is closed like it is now.

    How much is a gel manicure and a regular pedicure?

    A regular pedicure is now $29. It is a lot of money for just a regular Pedicure and the Spa Pedicure went up by a lot also in price.

    Reservation strongly recommended…read more Ive been here a few times and always my first choice when it comes to good quality great service. I have never made a reservation so Ive always had to wait. This previous time I came, I kept coming back in 1 hour intervals with no availability. I decided to wait the last time I came back and was able to get my nails done. My nails last and have not chipped yet. (It has been 2 weeks!) It's very relaxing and they have stands for your phone if you decide to watch a show. Their designs are great and they gave me exactly what I asked for. Although my sister's mermaid tail design looked nothing like a mermaid tail... I strongly recommend this place if you're looking for lasting nail with great design!

    Went here 2x in one week: first time for the manicure and second time for the repair…read more Will I go back? NO The picture of both hands is what we all ideally want but.... Quality of service 1/5 Some ladies translate amongst and for each other and that's okay but what is not okay for them to miscommunicate pricing to the costumer I asked the same question 3x to the person who spoke English: 1. Are those colors the same price? 2. No extra charge? 3. No more money? And the English speaking one said NO and another lady who does not speak English does my manicure and uses cat eye, which ends up being $25 extra at the end I ask them why because I clarified 3x and they gossip in Chinese not knowing I understand it that it was me not willing to pay it so they waived it forcibly and rolled their eyes at me and didn't talk to me. I still tipped 25% and leave $40 gel manicure $10 hard gel extra charge The lady that actually does your nails and not translating the first time? Friendly and that's 1 star The second one named Mia: pretend friendly BUT manipulative "There is morning wrong with our hard gel, your nail is just hard. You should have paid for the $90 UV gel instead of the $50 hard gel" and does NOT pay attention to detail NOR take feedback well Skill 2/5 You can tell they are trained in batches because they all utilize the same technique and it's only good if they are good and it's really bad if it's bad My First Lady: the 2 stars are for her My Second Lady: Paying attention to detail is SO not her skill NOR is taking feedback My Second Lady glued the end extension crooked and refused to take it out so just kept on filing until the nail was too short and not even with others. All other nails are concave. The extension is convex and titled out to an angle way too the left. The top coat from Second Lady: uneven with big dips and bumps and I will NOT wanna go back a 3x to let her fix it. With gel manicures, the top coat is everything and they ruined it I still tipped Second Lady 25% because if you speak up, they scream at you, give you attitude, and the door is locked unless they unlock it remotely Vibe 0/5 They are hot and cold re customer service wise and the second half of the store is under remodeling with some loud thumping. The first half can be more tidy albeit no remodeling. Back hand washing station is overcrowded. Walkway to the bathroom pass the hand washing station is dark Pricing 0/5 If I was paying for quality service and skill, this would have been slightly above average pricing in Flushing but because you get bad service and no attention to detail, it's a 0 Three days later after my first visit, 2 of my nails broke albeit I had hard gel. So the extra $10 for THEIR hard gel won't make a difference versus regular At first they said repair was free 2x but they were going to just paint of over the broken nails with no extension or filing meaning you were gonna have 4 long almond and 1 short square/jagged nail on each hand. And the nail tech proceeded to do that until I told her to please take the gel off my broken infield nail and put an extension on it so all nails are even length and shape and she said $10 for each, so the repair was $20 and not free. That's okay, but to think they really were gonna let you leave the studio like that SMH Also the supposed top coat they give you on all your nails after you repair 2-bumpy and uneven--huge dips and throws all the money you used previously on all other fingers out the window. Gel depends 90% on top coat This is above average pricing in flushing with really sh*tty service and below average skill. Check out Arete Beauty instead! Cheaper (cat eye is an extra $10 not $25) and better skill set and service but make an appointment

    I can't stop looking at my nails!…read more I've never done my nails outside before, so I was excited when my friend suggested doing our nails here. The spa is located on the second floor. Make sure to call to secure a spot, as they can easily get booked! The place is cash only, with tax if you Venmo/Zelle. The place was very chill, with the nail techs chatting with each other throughout my experience while they casually work their magic. I got the Gel Manicure ($40). They started off asking me to pick a color from a selection of books. Then the nail tech asked what shape I wanted, and began filing, shaping, and trimming my cuticles. Note to self and other nail newbies that nails need to grow out super long if you want square gel nails, to prevent the gel from touching your skin. The process was overall very relaxing, and fascinating for me to see the amount of care the lady puts into perfecting my nails. The process took around 1 hour 30 minutes, and even with my first time nails, the lady was chill and accommodated with patience, tips, and skill in making the gel manicure work on my short nails. Both my friend and I were very satisfied. My friend had the Regular Manicure ($15) and she noted how they added a finishing nail enamel spray, which other places don't do. Consider Arete for your next girls self care day!

    Extremely Disappointed After 2+ Years of Loyalty -- Very Money-Hungry Business That Doesn't Value…read moreCustomers My sister and I have been loyal, consistent clients at this salon for over two years. Sadly, our recent experience has shown that they care more about money than treating their customers with basic respect and professionalism. I sent a deposit to secure an appointment, clearly expecting it to go toward the booking. At no point did I say it was a tip. The owner had previously canceled on me last minute, and I was understanding. Instead of asking for a refund, I chose to reschedule. When rescheduling, I was told a time with no clarification of AM or PM. Since I asked for the earliest slot, I assumed AM. I traveled from Brooklyn to Queens early in the morning and waited 45 minutes without a single response to my texts or calls. Hours later, I was finally told to come back. Frustrated but still loyal, I canceled other plans and returned--only to be offered a free manicure to make up for the mix-up. That day, my Uber costs alone were over $100--more than the cost of the service. Given all the inconvenience, I chose not to leave a tip, which is well within my rights as tipping is optional. I usually always tip, but not after that experience. Later, I was refused service completely--because I wanted to apply the deposit I had already sent toward a new appointment rather than let them keep it as a tip. Denying a loyal customer over something so small and unjustified is beyond unprofessional. This business lost two long-time clients over a situation that could've been resolved with basic communication and decency. If you value your time, money, and being treated with respect--go elsewhere And I'm happy you responded the way you did because you only proved my point more of how viewed your customers as optional and I wasn't valued as a customer after 2 years of loyalty and consistent tipping !

    I usually don't leave negative reviews because I understand everyone is just doing their job, but…read moreI'm genuinely disappointed and frustrated with the service I received here. This place left me with serious buyer's remorse--I regretted my decision to come here and even more so after paying so much. During my pedicure, the nail tech scrubbed my foot so aggressively with the exfoliating tool that she cut the underside of my toe. She seemed to realize it too, because she noticeably used less pressure on the other foot. I didn't notice the cut right away, but felt a sting afterward and saw the injury. When I pointed it out, she apologized--but said nothing in the moment and had me put my foot back into the water, which is a major hygiene concern and increases the risk of infection. I asked when I arrived if they accepted cards and was told yes, but the additional card fee wasn't mentioned until checkout. That kind of information should be disclosed upfront--especially given that their prices are already on the higher end. I also got acrylic extensions, which were really mediocre. The length was inconsistent (as shown in my pictures), the application was thick, and the finished result looked like I already had them on for a week--she didn't apply the product close to the cuticle line, which left an obvious gap. The total came out to about $180 for a gel pedicure and acrylic manicure, and unfortunately, the quality just didn't match the price. They're charging premium rates for subpar work. (Keep in mind I wouldn't mind the price if it actually looked good and they did not give me a cut on my foot) Definitely won't be returning, and I WOULD NOT recommend this place to others.

They have a ton of stones, pearls and the like that you can have added to your nail design. They are also good with shaping nails and drawing French lines as well. The interior is simply, but beautifully decorated. It is also very clean. Because they do a lot of nail design work, I would not think that it is possible to just walk in; make sure to make an appointment! They will try to accommodate you as best as they can. I also very much appreciate that they don't overbook clients and make people wait despite having an appointment. We are all busy living our lives, so I am happy and grateful that Lashlab makes it a priority to keep to their clients' appointment times.
