I wish I had checked the reviews on Yelp before I came here for a mani/pedi. I walked in for a last-minute mani/pedi before going away this weekend. At first, the woman who helped me was very helpful and recommended that I go with a gel manicure because they lasted at least 2 weeks. She seemed genuine, so I agreed. I had originally picked a light pink color and she showed me a gel color that was supposed to be the same. It was not. It was completely clear, so after a coat of the clear one, I asked for a more pink one. She was clearly pissed when I asked for a different shade because her attitude completely changed. She gave me an eye roll, was immediately on her phone between coats, and hastily put one mediocre coat of the shade I wanted and said we were done. After my experience and looking at reviews, I wish I had just not gotten one and am just keeping my fingers crossed that the current ones last through the weekend. read more

Salon Vollo - Poor gel manicure - Hair Salons Near Me - New York, New York

Oh boy. Gel Manicure? 4 words: No. Stop. Run away. (Note: The high ratings/reviews are for the hair services provided - not for the broken down nail services being rendered.) I know its close and you like the price, but trust me its better to go somewhere else, even if it means going to CVS picking up some nail polish and doing it yourself. I had a Groupon, but all I needed was a fresh coat of gel polish - literally, and that was a cluster. See the photos. I knew I was in trouble when another woman walked in to have a gel manicure, seen the lady doing my nails, refused to let her do it and then left the salon! All facts. The manicurist told me and the employee that she (the would be patron) didn't like her. Sigh knew she was better off on her own. The owner and the manicurist was nice - the owner saw my nails and said they looked good...HOW? He was nice enough to tell me to come back free of charge if they chip. (This earned the salon an extra star.) Regardless, the paint job was a DISASTER by the end there was paint all over the tops of the finger nail polish, me and her gloves,looked kind of like a nail polish murder scene - which is exactly what it was. read more

A gel manicure that doesn't even last 4 days? Now that's a first for me..before you ask, nope I don't cook, handle heavy machinery or scrub toilets with bare hands. Like how bad can a 9-5 desk job clicking away on keyboard can be that my $50 mani-pedi will chip off within days? Luckily the regular pedicure is still intact but very disappointed to see the gel manicure come off in only 4 days. Oh why did I not read other reviews on their gel manicure before!? Seems like a norm at this place. read more

Update: I received the following message from the owner of Salon Vollo: "Hi Ana I'm truly sorry were disappointed with your gel manicure, but before putting such a negative review that harms our business you could have approach to manager to fix the matter, I'm willing to give you a free service or a full refund, for you to take off this review. Thank you" Sorry but I don't think you understand the purpose of reviews, which is for an individual to share their experience with a business. Whether sharing that experience helps or hurts your business is up to you and your staff. It is certainly not appropriate to chastise someone for leaving a bad review. I communicated very clearly with your staff while I was there and it was unsuccessful, so why would I ask to speak to the manager? A refund will not give me back the time I wasted getting a bad manicure, and it also won't give me back the time I have to spend soaking it off, and I DEFINITELY do not want another manicure. Speaking of this manicure, I have not had time to soak it off, and 4 days later it is peeling off from the nail beds, because that's what gel polish does when you get it all over the cuticles. read more

I walked past this place a million times because it is right around the corner from my job, but never went in. Then I saw a groupon so I decided to try it out. I initially had a gel manicure with Ira, who was nice and professional. So much so, I went back the next day to have her do my eyebrows. I went a 3rd time for another gel manicure, and this time it was Fenya who did it (see picture). She was so fast! But still meticulous as you can see. I would highly recommend them for manicures and eyebrow services. read more

Terrible, horrible service. I got my gel nail done. The workers were not welcoming, the manicure looks terrible, service sucks, and no one is caring or understanding. I could do better than this even if I were born yesterday. They asked me how it looked so I honestly replied that they kind of look messy but all I got was an "oh." At least please apologize or redo my nails. They do not higher professional manicurists. Please run away. Don't waste your time and don't get stressed up and mad while sitting there and watching her do pathetic work. How sad read more

*update* I rarely complain or write anything negative on yelp, but I'm so disappointed with my second visit back here. I wanted a light pink, they told me to go with one, and the color ended up looking clear. Okay, that might be out of their control, but other than that the manicure ended up looking a mess:( I asked for coffin, flat on top and got claws. Paint on my cuticles, inconsistent shape, and weird marks and bubbles. I noticed she wasn't keeping my nails under the light for the entire cycle, so I'm wondering if that was a part of it. On top of all this, my cuticles were barely touched. I don't want to bash this place, but I'm just disappointed of the service I paid good money for :( Walked in her for a gel mani on a whim on a Friday afternoon. They took me right away! Ira did a great job and was super sweet and asked my opinion throughout the process. The gel mani price makes it even more worth it! Will be back read more

One star because there is not a zero star option. Worst gel manicure in New York City. Run away please. The manicurist cut my finger and it was bleeding non stop and no apology at all. To top it all the owner had the guts to ask for a 20% tip. No clue how this business is sustaining with such horrible services. Not coming ever. Never. Nah. Nada. Nope. read more

The lady was nice but there were so many flaws. She didn't file my nails all straight & carelessly finished my nail work. It was my first time getting gel. The paint job was horrible & I tipped well because I felt I was being talked about in their language. I wish I had a refund because this is ugly. It is barely a nail salon - it's a hair salon. I kept telling her to pain it more or fix it - carelessly she did. She was super rough on my cuticles which now I have a scab...and it was such a effortless job. Hire better nail techs. This is a hair salon who put two tables in the back for nails. I wish to have a refund or something because this is super upse read more

I had a terrible experience here. They have horrible customer service. I walk in after a stressful day at work and I'm met with rude employees. The woman who did my nails (short blonde hair) walked away while I was mid sentence asking her for details regarding their service. I was met with derision by multiple staff members and even told to rush my decision in selecting a nail color because "they have too many other clients". Mind you, I even came a few mins early to an appointment that I set a week in advance! And at the time I arrived there was not a single customer in the entire salon. When I sat down to get my nails down, the lady who performed the service, did not ask me how my day was, what my name is or any other pleasantries. Rather she kept mentioning how "short my nails are", speaking in Russian to her colleagues and chatting on the phone with her son. When I come to get my nails done, I expect a relaxing experience. I don't expect to be treated as less than human, especially not when I ask clarifying questions about the services provided or rushed through the appointment because they want to service as many individuals as possible. Nail salons are a dime a dozen in NYC. I would highly recommend you go to any other spot other than this one! I chose this location because of all the positive reviews and I was utterly shocked by how the experience turned out. The only reason I stayed for the appointment is because I had a living social deal for this place. I will not suggest this to anyone. read more

Worst and most painful manicure I have ever gotten. Wish I read the reviews specific to the gel manis prior to going in. The lady literally filed my nails completely jagged and the polish is so thin you can see my nails under neath which is crazy considering it is gel polish. My nails are destroyed and in pain DO NOT GO HERE. The lady was also rude and kept trying to wax my body. Like you already ruined my nails now you want to take down my eyebrows too! Pass. read more

Found Salon Vollo on a day trip from Montauk and had my gel manicure done with Dolores which couldn't have been more thorough and attentive.

I came here for a hair cut, a manicure and brows threading. I can't remember the name of the gal who cut my hair but she was quick and did a great job. Fenya was my nail tech. They use Essie nail products for both regular and shellac manicures. I got shellac for only $25 and my manicure stayed perfect for 3 weeks! Fenya does a really great job, I've been in twice now so I highly recommend coming to see her. She also does a killer job at threading eye brows. It was my first time having my brows threaded and was a bit nervous but they turned out great. I'll be back! read more

Really unhappy with the service and outcome. I got a gel manicure here less than two weeks ago. Before appointment: I scheduled one far in advance so I could make my work schedule. They were about 10-15 mins late to start it. During appointment: She was very rough on my nail beds. My nail beds were literally burning from the heat that was generated from the nail file rubbing against my nails so quickly and roughly (I had previous gel nails to be removed). Needless to say, less than a week of the manicure, two of my nails have chipped significantly and 4 nails are not fully polished. 1 nail wasn't even fully polished! She was in a hurry to get me out the door so one of my nails isn't even completely painted. There is only one nail technician here according to the receptionist when I called 5 days after my initial appt to have them fix it. Since there's only one, it's rather hard for me to get a time slot for them to fix my nails. They're not open on weekends, which makes it even more difficult unless I get out of work. I really don't recommend this place for a manicure. I would have preferred to do it myself at home. read more

Purchased a Groupon for a gel manicure. Was my first experience at the Salon. The staff was nice. Why I'm giving 1 star is because I was not informed that I would pay extra for a gel soak off or for a nail design (that was only for two nails) prior to these services. In addition, a gel manicure should last for two weeks +, I've had mine for five days and it's starting to chip. The polish itself was not applied well and is starting to lift off the nail itself. I am very disappointed with the services provided and the outcome. read more

This is for the nails only-- not hair or other services they offer. I've broken down my review to both the customer service and the nails themselves. They both deserve a 1. On the customer service: Here goes-- I mistakenly bought a lifebooker loot in June because I needed a gel manicure for my friend's bachelorette. I downloaded it and called to make an appointment only to find out their nail salon lady only comes in certain days. This should've raised a red flag that this isn't a true nail salon; it's a hair salon with a nail lady in the back. Well that was fair and my fault so I just made an appointment for when my friend was getting married. Fast forward to the appointment-- I booked a pedicure and a gel manicure for 8/20. I waited 30 minutes to be seen while my friend waited 45 minutes (she actually booked her appointment earlier than mine but was seen after me for some reason). Mid-pedicure, I'm talking about my gel manicure and the lady said I wasn't on the books and she has to leave so she doesn't have time to do my manicure. I didn't want to make a fuss so I rescheduled to 9/5 (today) for my gel manicure in time for my fiance's cousin's wedding & vacation. So I left with just my toes done but as one of the bridesmaids in my friend's wedding, I had to get my nails that night though so I scrambled to find a place that would take me at 830PM. I found one near me and it's the best nail place EVER-- Idea Nails on 62nd-- look it up. That night ended up great because of Idea Nails. Fast forward to 9/5-- I get a call at 3:15 saying that the nail lady leaves at 4:45 on Fridays and asking if I can come in earlier. I can't because I'm at work and I feel like they're on the verge of canceling so I argue with them telling that last time they didn't honor my appointment and that they're the ones who scheduled me for 5:15 so they should honor their appointment. They decided to let me come in at 5:15 (wow thank you, you're so kind to keep an appointment for your customer). Then I called Lifebooker to try to get a refund for my loot knowing that I'd be rushed and get horrible service but the salon refused a refund. Then they call an hour later to confirm I'm still coming in-- a sign that the nail lady is ready to leave but just has to stay because that's her job to keep appointments? Yes, I think so. On the nails: 1st visit on the toes-- She did not cover the nails with enough nail polish. After two coats, you could still see through some spots. I bought the same Essie nail polish color ($8.50 a bottle) and repainted my toes. She also does not know how to use a cuticle cutter. There was a ton of skin cut off shown by how frazzled my toes looked a couple hours later. 2nd visit with the gel manicure-- It looks like a teenager painted my nails (can't say a child cause it's not as bad as that). I paint my own nails better than this. I've posted photos so you can see. Again, she's very aggressive with the cuticle cutters; more skin than cuticle. I was wondering if there's a nail school you can attend to learn nail techniques or how people learn because she needs to brush up her skills. I've never had a gel manicure where they've soaked my nails prior to it. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to. If you have short nails or bite your nails, then forget about coming here. A good nail lady should be able to handle short or long nails but maybe because my nails are short, she had trouble staying in the lines. When she put on the clear nail polish (base and top coat of gel manicure), she did not care if it went onto my skin or cuticles probably because it's clear but I've had other nail technicians take great care in this. Worst part is I told her I wasn't happy with how the nail polish was spilling over my nails and that I was worried because I can't just use nail polish remover to fix it since it's gel so her solution was after my nails were done baking in the UV light, she took a cuticle cutter to fix her mistakes after she already took off a lot of skin. Oh yah, and the UV light they have burns- don't stick your hand in all the way because you'll get burned. Back to customer service: Both times, she's mentioned how she has to go or has things to do. She likes to point out if you bite your nails, etc. (overhearing from my friend who was there too) or if anything is wrong with your nails. Personally, if I'm paying someone to do my nails, I'd like for them to look better, not to be nagged at throughout. I still tipped 20% because she's a nail lady after all, but I was in and out in 20 minutes (including time to pick my color and tip). Gel manicures usually take 40 minutes. I'm never going back for nails and would love it if you saved your money to go elsewhere. Don't buy a lifebooker loot for this place. Spend $10-20 more and get a real manicure/pedicure elsewhere because you'll have to do it yourself or fix it yourself anyway read more

Do NOT go here to get your nails done. They have 2 chairs in the back of the salon that are less than sanitary. They used old files on both my friend and me (since we were traveling we didn't have our own with us and they don't have new ones to buy). Gross! There was really no massage to speak of on either the pedicure or manicure (maybe a half-hearted attempt, but really...). I was not confident at all in the woman's capabilities to do a quality and considerate job, so it was anything but relaxing. The end result? Nails I wasn't thrilled with and a stressed/grossed out feeling. Within one week the poorly applied gel started to come off and it wasn't applied far enough down so it looked like it had been on for two weeks instead of one. I couldn't wait to get it off! Oh, and the cost...$50+ for a regular pedicure and a gel manicure. read more
