    4 day old gel manicure, because that's what happens when you get gel polish all over the cuticles...the edges lift and peel right off.
    Anna S.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Nails by Ira !

    Ira did SUCH a beautiful job!! Everyone there was so warm from the moment i walked in. I was in a little bit of a rush and they accommodated me without sacrificing the quality of my nails. PLUS- Ira is the lovely Russian mom we all want and NEED! She was so sweet and caring. Thank you Ira and Salon Vollo! I'll definitely be back.

    Fenya did my nails!

    Lovely! Fenya is great, super personable and funny. Love my powder gel nails, i think she does a great job and will definitely be back!

    *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

    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

    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.

    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. The guys at the front desk also couldn't have been more welcoming and made me feel right at home as soon as I walked in. Definitely looking forward to driving back soon and spending a day here getting pampered.

    Love the color!

    Rafael did such a wonderful job. I was in town for an event and found this place online. I was nervous letting someone do my hair out of the blue but he did such a great job, I will be coming back! Thanks Rafael!

    Great gel manicure!
    Danielle F.

    I came for a gel mani last minute as Salon Vollo is near my office. I was taken in right away and Ira did a wonderful job. I will definitely be back!

    Went to Rafik, the Stylist for a haircut and he did a great job cutting it up, he did it to the way I wanted it to be in my vision and preference! Love it! So refreshing and stylish! He did everything from shampooing, conditioning, trimming in layers and blowing dry! Fabbbulous!! ‍ Thank you!

    Excellent nail and blow dry service. Convenient location and amazing staff.

    Excellent nail and blow dry service. Found it on google maps based on reviews, which are normally skeptical, but I was seen right away. Convenient location and amazing staff :-))

    Nails by Fenya. $25 for a shellac manicure. They use Essie products which are very high quality and Fenya is very good.

    I highly recommend Miss Bliss for superior quality and service!…read more I was in NY for work and desperately needed to get my nails done before a trade show. I found Miss Bliss on Yelp as a business open Sunday evening and walked in around 5 (they close at 7). All the seats were full and 2 girls already waiting, so they advised the wait would be an hour bc of this existing appointments. No problem for me since I thought this was still plenty of time to get in before closing. They were able to seat me around 5:45. I requested Gel-x (my first time but also my nails were pretty short and damaged from my picking off the last gel as it grew out). Jenny began meticulously working on cleaning my cuticles and sizing me up for the tips. I don't know what they look for, but she definitely worked through the different size options, and even re-applied one of the tips bc she noticed something was off. Honestly, I don't think I have have noticed but I do appreciate her attention to detail, she obviously cares about her craft. So 7 pm rolls around, the 3 other customers that were still there and had wrapped up their nail sessions. Julie, the other nail tech offers to finish up my polish design to let Jenny go home to her kids. I'm definitely feeling bad for keeping them past closing, and I am secretly hoping they rush through the polish so they can leave. NOPE! Julie takes her time on my design, and finishes up with a nice neck and hand massage, warm towel, and we all finally close up at 830. I am super grateful they continued to dedicate time to my service, while not sacrificing quality. Left a fat tip since I know Jenny and Julie will be splitting. Looking forward to coming back here on a future NY trip! Next time I will make an appointment though

    my rating is between 3.5 and 4…read more i called ahead to see if they had any availability, and since they had pretty good ratings on google and yelp, i decided to go for it. my nails were getting way too long anyways. it was a very typical nail salon, the exact kind you would imagine when you think of one. she didn't ask what length i wanted and just went straight for the cut. by the time it came to filing, my nails ended up super short, and i am definitely a longer nail kind of girl. i'm not sure if she simply forgot to ask, but i'd like to think she was looking out for me and knew my nails would chip if they were kept too long. i went for a regular gel manicure since i told myself my nails need a break after this. when she was done, she gave me a shoulder massage, but it was very brief (shorter than the typical massages you get at nail appointments) and only on one shoulder, which felt a little odd. upon leaving, i immediately noticed a flaw on my left thumb. there were visibly tiny bumps, and once i noticed them, they kept bothering me. my conclusion: always go to the nail salon you trust, and that is exactly what i should've done.

    I have been coming to QQ nails for my toes. Girls trust me when I say they do a good job they do…read more It's very relaxing they have massage chairs that you can enjoy while getting your pedicure done. They also do a great job at massage and scrubbing. My toes feel so fresh and rosey after it. The prices are so affordable like 40-50$ depending on the pedicure type. Love this place

    I came in for my appointment 15 mins early and sat down right away which I thought was a good sign…read more I ended up there for two hours and walked away with ugly nails and $140 less. I showed the lady at the front the nails I was looking for, a classic French and extension. My natural nails were grown out pretty long already and previous I was told I couldn't do a French unless they were. I sat down with her and she started to take off the previous gel - I had this from another QQ location. She then cut off all the growth from my natural nails. I stopped her and said no I want French and almond shape. She said she had to cut the nails. I've never had a nail tech cut off natural nails that were not damaged before. She then got up and told me that another woman was coming after she ate her lunch for 5 mins. The other nail tech came and looked confused nearly the whole time. First she obviously didn't know what I wanted to do with my nails - the previous woman came up and told her something. Then I showed her a picture. She started putting the gel x on and I thought ok it'll be fine. But once we were at applying the French tip she made it so thin I had to keep telling her to make it bigger and where the line should go. Almost like she never did this before. I gave up and I was already so late to leave to pick up my son from daycare I paid and ran out the door. I looked at my nails closer and realized even the sizing of the gel x was not right. My nails looked like fake doll nails. They were bumpy too. I had to get in to a nail place close to home to have them fix it which of course the only way was to change the color entirely and try to shape them as best as they can without damaging my nails. Don't go here. I been to other locations and they are not much better but definitely don't go here. In general what you see on social media from QQ is only a couple of good nail techs work. I have been to 3 locations now and all were not very clean, rushed and frantic service, and now just a horrible nail job. I also want my $120 back you can keep the tip.

    I visited this place twice. The first time, I received a gel X extension. However, when I returned…read moreto have it removed, the technician didn't know how to properly take it off. As a result, my nail was damaged during the process. It's crucial to remove gel X correctly to prevent damage, and I don't understand how they can offer this service without knowing how to remove it properly. They also didn't even try to provide a discount due to the damage, which reflects awful customer service

    I had a very disappointing experience at this salon…read more When I called to book an appointment, I clearly explained that I already had hard gel on my nails and asked how much it would cost to remove it and get a new gel manicure. They told me $70.20, and no one mentioned that the price could be higher. During the appointment, it became clear that they didn't know how to remove my previous gel properly. It wasn't a "different type of gel" -- they just didn't know how to do it correctly. Instead of properly filing it off with the machine, they only removed the color layer. Then they wrapped my nails in foil and left me sitting there while the nail technician did a full pedicure for another client, without saying a word to me. I was just waiting the entire time. When she finally came back, she seemed surprised that the gel was still there -- and only then started removing it with the machine. She never explained anything to me, and I felt very uncomfortable because they were clearly experimenting on my nails. In any professional salon, hard gel is removed completely with a machine -- not like this. At the end, they told me the total was $164. I was shocked. They said it was because of a "different gel" and a "different service," which wasn't true -- I had told them in advance that it was hard gel. If they had informed me that the price would be higher, I would have decided whether to continue or not. When I calmly explained that no one mentioned this, they refused to listen. Then, when I asked to speak with the employer (the boss/owner) who wasn't there at the time, she got on the phone and spoke very rudely, claiming the nail master had told me about the higher cost -- which was a complete lie. The worst part is that they both started threatening to call the cops, even though I was polite and honest the entire time. I ended up paying with my foreign card, using my last money, but the way they treated me was absolutely unacceptable. While I was talking to the employer, the nail master stood there chewing gum and didn't even look at me. It was clear they were covering for each other. She never told me about any extra charge. I left the salon very upset and disappointed. I believe honesty, professionalism, and communication are the most important parts of good service -- unfortunately, I didn't experience any of that here. How can professional staff, instead of listening or offering any solution, threaten me by saying, "We will call the cops! We will call the cops!!!"? I've been doing my nails regularly for five years, and I've never had such awful quality and service. They didn't know how to remove the gel properly and then put all their mistakes, my waiting time, and the extra costs on me and my pocket. To make things worse, the final work was low quality -- on my pinky finger, they added Gel-X and didn't even file or shorten it. It's longer than my other nails and hurts
