    Absolutely terrible job. Theyre were bald spot on my nails and even with SNS dip, my nails started chipping within 2 days. The woman who did my nails was really unsanitary and kept sticking her fingers in her ears. Really gross. This photo is from 4 days after getting them done. I have never had a worse experience.

    Look how bad they are.

    DO NOT GO HERE My daughter went here to get nails done while we were here and I don't even know where to begin. She asked for a French tip, showed pictures and even talked to the ladies about them in Spanish. Let me just tell you, they are absolutely terrible. Uneven, not on good, didn't file them down, squared off, too thick and if you had more time I'd keep going. I then called this morning to talk to a manager and the lady on the phone refused to give me her name. She said she took pictures and has proof they were good. I gave her my number and email to send to me and she never did. She argued with me for 15 minutes over the phone telling me I was wrong and she did good and refused to give me a refund. She said " no one works for free". I told her she should be ashamed of herself and should lose her license. I also called back to talk to Sophia and let me tell you, she was no better. It's so sad this is what the world is coming down to. This business should be shut down for fraud!! I also added a picture of what she asked for for reference and they said " we could do that".

    My gel manicure was less than mediocre. It looks like my left hand painted on my nails. There are parts of my nail that weren't covered by nail polish. She barely touched my cuticles, and didn't even soak my hands before attempting to cut the cuticles. I asked her to follow the nail shape I previously had (almond) and she just rounded out all my nails. For $45 I will not be coming back.

    What I actually got

    I think if you're looking for a basic mani and pedi then this would be an okay choice however if you're looking for nail art, then avoid The ladies were very nice and the prices were okay The reason for my low review is because I specifically asked for nail art and showed them a reference picture. I prefaced it with "you can leave out the minute details like the fish and the flower, I just want the general vibe and the colors for lunar new year. If you can't do it, no worries I'll just get a solid color" They told me they could do it and I was really unhappy with the end result. It looks nothing like the reference photo. I told them mid way that I didn't really like it but they kept going. For 65 dollars + tip, it's not really worth it. In addition, the overall job was just kind of sloppy. They cured the nail to my flesh and the the color isn't even or opaque. Overall really disappointed esp for something like a holiday Edit: dropping to one star, I originally gave it two because the regular pedicure come out ok but after one night three of my nails no longer has polish and it's not like I've been out here playing soccer

    i spent $55 and then tipped 20% on top of that for a mani pedi. i had the girl doing my nails clean up around the edges multiple times. the nail polish is messy, clunky, uneven and thick. I've never had someone shape my nails so bizarrely!! I understand I was one of the last clients of the day but if your staff is too tired to do the work - schedule me for a different day!! I do feel bad for the girl working on me she seemed exhausted. not a good experience at all and I really wanted to like it because I'm staying so close

    Great nail salon! The technicians are attentive and the salon is very clean. They did a beautiful job on my nails.

    I hate leaving negative reviews, but if this helps anyone please read on! This place was terrible. This was the most expensive nail service I've ever got and it was so incredibly disappointing. I got nail extensions with SNS powder and a gel pedicure. $200 with a tip! Absolutely insane price and the quality was horrendous. The nail tech had to pull 3 of my extensions off and re-do them because she cut them too short. The nails cracked a few days later. Different sizes and shapes. Really poor quality work! If I didn't live so far away, I would have come back the next day to request a refund. I can't say it was just my nail tech either, because my sister had her nails done too and absolutely hated them! Just not a good quality nail salon, which is not expected for the price point. Including photos of their loyalty card in case they try and claim I never visited this salon. I did and I NEVER will again. I really regret not reading all the negative reviews before I visited. Reading the reviews now, experiences were pretty similar. Don't waste your hard earned money at this business. They don't care enough to even address the negative reviews and try and improve their customer service.

    What it's supposed to be.

    I was not going to write a review and I don't usually write a review unless it is truly necessary, which in this case it in. Last Monday march 14 I came with a friend to get our nails done, I attached a picture of the nail design I asked for, the nails I got were barely the same, but I am not one to complain and I was happy with the nails. What I wasn't happy about was the service. I have never been to a place where it takes 3 full hours (5-8 pm) to get my nails done for such a simple design. Not only that we both each must've had 4 different nail workers do our nails, also what they didn't know was that my friend is Mexican and the entire time they were complaining about us in Spanish. What kind of business allows this? I came to ask for powdered tips, they were 95$ which is already a lot but OK, due to they lack of the ability to speak the English language I couldn't quite understand what was going on but she said it would be 25$ extra she then said "125$ OK?" I said OK, mostly because she was already doing my nails and I did not want to be rude. By the time I paid for the bill 3 hours later it ended up being 169$! How does something go from 95$ to 169$? But OK, I didn't complain I happily paid assuming my nails would last at least 2-3 weeks. Every time I have gotten my nails done this was the normal especially for GEL nails. Anyways, the following day I realized my nails were very long and I couldn't do anything with them so I went back to trim them. I've done this before at other places it usually takes 10-15 min, there I was again for an hour.. I'm not sure what training these technicians took but clearly something is going wrong. They didn't just trim my nail. They redid almost all of them. When the main lady came back and still saw me sitting there I think she was also surprised to still see me there. Anyways; that same evening I got home and my entire nail color chipped off. I went back, this time the main woman re-did my nail. That same evening my second nail chipped, I said fine let me do it myself and so I did. The day after my third mail chipped. Why am I upset? I'm not upset that my mail chipped I am upset that I paid 169$ for nails that chipped within 3 days. I am upset that they lied about the price and that on top of it being so expensive the quality does not even match up. The nail design didn't match up, the amount of time and service didn't match up, nothing matched up. Surprisingly the mail I did myself with 2$ essence nail polish that is 5 years old has lasted me longer than their UV nail polish and that for 169$?! While they were talking *** about me and my friend? This isn't ok. I don't recommend going here or being reeled into their money stealing scheme. Go to glitz nails in the east village. They're much much cheaper and better and quicker.

    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've been coming to Nams for over 7 years, and I've always loved the vibe here... from the zen…read moreBuddhist music, food and drink offerings, massage chairs, and friendly service, to the clean air and the fact that the owners are always present. It truly creates a relaxing atmosphere. However, I've noticed that the quality of the mani & pedi has declined over the years, which has made me hesitant to return, even though it's in the most convenient location for me. These days when I returned, it's just for last minute color change to avoid more damage. I referred a friend to join me for a mani/pedi once, and she also mentioned that while the ambiance is great, but the owners should get their own mani & pedi done by their technicians, which I completely agree with. While I usually don't like getting my cuticles pushed or cut, I really appreciate that they respected that preference. However, when it comes to removing polish, it's done very recklessly with a lack of attention to detail. On several occasions, they've scraped the skin around the nails--sometimes cutting it to the point where it bled and required a bandage. When I mentioned this to the hostess after she asked for feedback, she dismissed it by saying I have sensitive skin. Since when is it normal for skin to be scraped during a mani/pedi? Additionally, I've had gel mani here twice in a row, and the technician over-shaved to the point where my nails ended up paper-thin that I have to ask the technician to apply extra coats to make up for it. One time, the technician even touched my skin with the machine that is used to shave the gel polish off. I've also had my skin scraped during pedicures, which is concerning. Every time I get a gel mani, within two weeks, the polish would start to lift on the cuticle side, which shows a lack of precision during the application. My friend got a regular mani & pedi here, and one of her nails chipped within a day. While I still love the atmosphere and the owners, the decline in the quality of the services, especially regarding polish removal, nail care, and attention to detail, has made me hesitant on coming back.

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
