The worst manicure I have ever had in my life.Terrible customer service and the place was dirty. Took him hours to do this terrible job.

I like their service and quality and also price!! Do not miss the sale! Its 50% off from original price for eyelash extensions!!!!!

I did a walk in on Friday after work to get my nails done for my birthday. Worst decision I could have made in my life. Cost me $80 and me with my dumb ass gave tip which was included in the above. I kid you not, my nails were falling off starting on Tuesday. Today is Friday and I only have 1 nail on one hand n three on the other hand. I got gel acrylic tips. This place is ridiculous and the owner did my nails. I don't know why I didn't take it as a sign why the shop was so empty. Take my advice and avoid this place at all cost. #UtterGarbage!!!

I tried Siwoo twice and I won't go back. The first time I got a powder gel manicure ($30). I was pleased with how it came out, but after a few days I noticed all of my nails were cracking and after about a week, the entire manicure was coming off in pieces. Extremely disappointing as a powder gel should last for at least 2 weeks. The second time I got a regular gel manicure ($25). The manicure wasn't done well. When finished, there were weird bumps and grooves in the polish, the woman didn't cover the entire nail with polish and after THREE days, I had a chip.

First time customer. Decided to get a shellac manicure as a walk in and it was the worst manicure I've ever received in my life. She was rough filing my nails down and cutting my cuticles. That should have been a sign. The shellac was so uneven and not smooth at all. But I think I was so much in shock at how bad the result was I couldn't find my voice to say something before leaving. However, after repeatedly looking at my nails and feeling embarrassed at people even looking at it I decided to call the two phone numbers in their website. Neither worked. I emailed them requesting if a refund was possible while saying the women can keep her tip. I got a text instead saying to come back in 1 week to get it fixed. I didn't even reply because why would you even suggest me coming back if the outcome was terrible in the first place? Plus making an unsatisfied customer wait 1 week is not acceptable. I went to another nail salon further down to get it fixed. I learned my lesson. Always read reviews and do your research first! At least i only lost $25 and not more.

This place is clean, has friendly staff. The nail tech who did my nails' name is Danielle. Very kind and sweet and was very open to what I wanted to have done. I personally think she did a great job. I gave it 4 stars because I have 3 skin nicks from when she was cleaning up the cuticles, but other than that, I'm very happy with the look, size and consistency with my nails.

i would give this place just one star if it were possible, i wasted so much time here. the guy that did my nails was terrible and i question if he's ever done anyone's nails before. he didn't let the base coat or regular two coats dry. i went for a pale nude shade and so i expected three event coats, instead i got a sloppy mess. and wen he was filing my nails he nicked my finger tip (see photo attached). then wen he applied the top coat after not letting the polish dry, the polish started moving with the top coat. i had to explain to him that the color was uneven due to the fact that he was literally rushing through it and giving it 5 secs to dry! he was ridiculous. he removed some polish and did the same thing again. not letting the coats dry in between at the end i just asked him to take all the polish off and i paid him 10$. he wasted my time.

Meenu does an amazing job with Laser hair removal. The process was painless just a little burning feeling sometimes but anyone can handle it. The whole experience was so comfortable, private, and she is so sweet and nice. If you are looking to get Laser hair removal definitely come check her out. Her phone number is (917) 774-5717 she does text. She is located at the bottom floor in the back room all the way in the back. read more

Filthy Place and Fake service. This pandemic should teach us how to be aware of cleanliness but this place when I came in , the hair brushes were dirty, the salon equipment was dusty and and soiled. The service they gave me did not reach my expectations as I paid good amount including tip to the guy named Siwoo. His hair cut was bad and the treatment that promises shiny hair didn't meet the expectation. He uses cheap hair products. read more

Great men's haircuts! When you think of a salon, you might think of mostly/only women's haircuts. Let me tell you that siwoo gives amazing men's haircuts. He is a magician with the scissors and clippers. The post cut shampoo with a scalp massage is the cherry on top that we all deserve after a long day of work. read more

They only have any stars bc they were polite. There were only 2 nail technicians there today and they both tried to be polite. However, none of them know what they are doing. I wanted a regular pedicure and manicure. The woman did not know how to put the plastic liner on the tub and spent 10 minutes fussing and the plastic kept popping off. Then they never put the drain stopper in properly and so the tub kept emptying with my feet in it and they kept trying to refill it. They didn't have clean looking nice towels to prop your feet or wrists up with. Also my typical salon puts lotion on my feet and quickly massages them. There are no extra touches added here. By the time it was time for my manicure I didn't have enough time left... I opted to leave bc when the man went to file my nails he filed it into a tiny looking claw. I took the file and attempted to fix it myself. Way too disorganized ... read more

I don't recommend to go to this place, at least for the hair cut. It was a very bad experience for my first visit to this place because the guy was very rude. The guy asked me "How much do you want to cut?" I answered just trim a little bit. He raised his voice and repeated the question again "How much do you want to cut?". I said just trim it a little bit to make the hair thinner. He raised his voice in a even higher pitch "How-Much-Do-You-Want-to-Cut!". I was a little bit annoyed and asked him "What do you mean by that". Now he just started to shout at me "HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO CUT!!!". Maybe I was giving some vague instruction at the beginning (even though other barbers I have visited were having no difficultness to understand same instructions), the guy could have just given some explanations instead of shouting to me with the same questions again and again. read more

No just NO. She hardly did my nails and didn't want to do my cuticles. I could have done them myself if that was the case. My friend told me not to go I should have listened. Just because you smile and try to make small talk doesn't mean you're doing a great job. Waste of time and money. read more

Out of all the salons I've been to, this one is the BEST! I went in for a perm and cut and was absolutely blown away with the how it turned out. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional and the salon looked nice with a good vibe. From now on, this is definitely my go-to salon! read more

ZERO STARS - Please Consider this Review when choosing your nail salon - let's insist the business owners attempt to communicate with the customers in good faith and be able to speak some English in order to get the job done. Terrible customer service. No one could speak English and owner lied to me: Three weeks ago I went for a gel manicure with silk wraps and pedicure. I spent over $120. Three weeks later I tried to make an appointment with the same nail technician and when I called the girl could not help me identify who worked on my nails. She said just come in and we scheduled an appointment for Saturday at 11 am. I couldn't continue the conversation on the phone because the girl couldn't speak english and the converation was very awkward and not productive. When I arrived on time, two women behind the counter and a man (who may be the manager or owner) still could not recall who did my nails. Very strange and odd. Then the one girl said Sorry only 1 person here and she just started doing someone else's nail. This is not acceptable. I explained I had an appointment and walked here in the freezing cold to be on time. so rude, unprofessional and couldn't care at all!!!!!We couldn't communicate because all 3 of them, could not speak English and it was frustrating to discuss since I couldn't understand her and she couldn't understand me! Then the owner/manager guy says to be - women had emergency and could not be here. I replied by telling him not to lie to me because it was already established that no one knew who I was talking about. More Cons - the store was cold. There is not cover on front door which makes the salon freezing cold. Appears they give a majority of the business to the Asian workers and the one Russian women (who has been there forever and is the only one who speaks English) had to ask the owner several times to take on a pedicure since he was giving business to the other women. read more
i've been here once for a simple haircut and it was fine. prompt and no flairs but listened to only cut a few inches off. i came again to get gel done so they had to remove the current gel on my nails. the nail tech was busy so they said i should just wait and soak my nails and i should be seen soon. so im sitting there with the acetone on my nails for over 10 mins and they start to really HURT. so i take the wraps off and start scraping it by myself and they still have paid 0 attention to me since sitting down. so i just tell them im leaving and i left. never coming back. my thumb nail in particular hurt for a few days randomly afterwards as well. read more

LOVE it here. Wow. Great clean space with very nice, well mannered, professional staff and owner. I Thoroughly enjoyed my experience there and I am a very picky kind of person. Sunny did my nails and was amazing in her technique, personal manner, and treatment, also great leg massages. Thank you for all of it. The reclining chair for my hair and the massage Monica gave me while washing my hair was incredible. Felt so relaxed. And the finishing cherry on top of the cake was the silky smooth finish the hair stylist (and owner) did for my hair as he blew it out and flipped it and added volume to it so beautifully and professionally. Thank you everyone for such a wonderful and truly relaxing experience. My new go to place. read more

I work in the area and have gone to every nail salon within walking distance of 71 & continental. Every salon has done a crappy job on my nails- pedicure and gel manicure. Then I decided to come to Siwoo and try them. Finally! They're extremely nice and customer service is top notch. Amazing pedicures and manicures and decent pricing. Look no further if you're in the area. read more

So I went to get a quick pedicure before meeting a friend . I went in and they sat me quick because the place was completely dead . I sat down and asked for white . I had white originally on my toes but one of the toes was messy so I wanted it redone and I need a actual pedicure since it's been a week and wearing sandals was making them rough . Long story short the lady who did my nails was just horrible. Super aggressive, kept pushing my feet and legs like I was some idiot . Did not scrape my heels or ask if I wanted a callus remover . Was so unhappy. But what was worse is she did a horrendous job on the polish . The white is soo unbelievably messy and looks like a child did it! She asked me I liked it , I said no but I had to run so I just wanted to leave she gave me some crappy paper flops and made me walk down stairs to a dryer which ended me in ruining the job she horribly had done. She attempted to fix it but made it even worse . She also added some clear pink polish and now there's a pink hue . I'll never ever be going back again worse place ever!!! Now I need to get them redone again. Worse salon I've ever been and barely clean I'll never go back read more

I came in after work and Sarah and Siwoo took their time to make sure I looked my best. It was well past closing time and they still accommodated me. I have curly hispanic hair and they were able to style my hair with ease. I am definitely returning and would highly recommend this place to my fellow Latinas!!! They treated me with kindness and explained good hair tips for everyday use. read more

Weakest blow dry I have ever had. My hair is very fine, shoulder length and wavy/frizzy-not hard to blow dry by any means. I walked in about 10am (the storefront says they open at 9:30) I stood there about 5 mins before anyone acknowledged me. I needed a blow dry before having a passport photo taken. A woman walks into the store and says hello, how can I help you? I said I need a blow dry, she directed me to the upper level. The man shows me to the wash station, I mention I washed my hair this morning, but it has dried already. He brings me to the chair and wets my hair with a spray bottle, which is fine with me, should be easier to blow dry when the hair is not completely wet. He takes large sections of hair and does 2-3 passes with the blow drier and that is it. My hair is still not even completely dry. I mention it and he is gone, already at the cash register waiting for me to come pay. He runs my card for $30 with no option to write in the tip on the receipt so he needs to run my card again to leave a tip. I step outside and my hair is frizzing within 10 minutes. Incompetent and oblivious? Won't come back, which sucks because I live so close and need my hair blow dried at least once per week, twice per week in the summer. Oh well, should have maybe said "hi" or "do you like your hair?" I may have given them another chance if there was any of that, I swear I'm not difficult to please haha just want my hair blow dried. Fail. read more

I have been going to this salon since YEARS before it changed owners and change the name to SIWOO.. first of all the colors and furniture in this place make no sense it is a very ugly place.. but beside that the nails..... I can't even explain to you how horrible my nails came out when I asked for an ombré design since there was pictures on the window showing they do designs I thought I would give it a try.... she kept putting powder on my nail and re dipping it in another color of powder 40 times so u can imagine how thick and lopsided my nails was and it was a straight line I wish I took a picture to show u how ugly it was.. it was absolutely a nightmare I had to walk out before she was almost done from how ugly and bad of a job it was.. she had the nerve to argue with me and scream at me because I didn't like her work?? That's why I walked out and will never return.. sera's salon was much better with nice people and a way prettier atmosphere.. ever since Sasha left this place is just horrible read more

Even i recommend few friends to go to salon. They are so codial and friendly. its best beauty salon i go to because they have all beauty services!!!!! Sincerely, read more

I've been a long time client of Meenu's and she is by far the best when it comes to facial and body hair removal. She has waxed and threaded my eyebrows and upper lip as well as full body waxed and I love the results every time. She has a new laser hair removal service and I am currently on my second session of full body laser hair removal and I already have seen amazing results. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for affordable quality hair removal services. She is super sweet and treats her clients like family. read more
