I brought my family -- myself, my daughter, two granddaughters, and my husband -- to Time to Get Nails & Spa for manicures and pedicures. We spent a lot of money for what was supposed to be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. Instead, it was completely ruined when 4 different technicians actually demanded a tip before we even left. I found this behavior extremely rude, inappropriate, and insulting. I always tip generously in cash once everyone's service is done, but being hounded for money on the spot was unacceptable. When I spoke to the manager, I was told that "they work for tips," as if that somehow excuses such behavior. It doesn't. After spending hundreds of dollars, the last thing I expected was to be pressured and embarrassed in front of my family and other patrons. The lack of professionalism and respect was truly disappointing. I will not be returning, and I strongly urge management to train their staff on proper customer service and etiquette. read more

0 stars!!! Completely disrespected! I came in for my appointment with Karen. I showed her a picture of the nail color + design I wanted. I asked her if she was able to do the design and she said yes, no problem(with confidence). It came down to doing the design on the picture and it didn't match the photo. I politely asked if we could fix it and Karen became upset and annoyed. She attempted again and it looked worse. I was honest and told her it didn't match the photo. Karen's response: "I can't do it!!! I won't do it!" She became upset and annoyed at me. She didn't offer a solution or another design option she felt she could do on my nail. The rest of the appointment was completely rushed and felt awkward and uncomfortable she wouldn't talk to me or look at me. She didn't even finish my nail treatment and gave me to someone else to do my hand lotion/ massage and hot towel. The salon charged me $10 for a design I did NOT want. I went to leave a tip for Karen on her work station and let her know where I was leaving it and her response was "mhm" and wouldn't look at me. I was completely disrespected and had a TERRIBLE experience. I could have left her no tip and chose to do the right thing! I called the salon to speak with the owner. A man named Steve picked up the phone. He said he is the person you'd speak to for complaints. I told him my experience and how uncomfortable and disrespected I felt. I asked for him to void my credit card payment and he refused. His response was "Karen tries the best she can. If she can't do it she can't do it." I replied: "okay so if a client is disrespected and felt uncomfortable by a nail tech and didn't get what they asked for, they should pay for the service?". Steve was quiet. I told Steve I don't live in NY and don't plan to come back and would like my money back. He refused to give it to me. I don't even think Steve is the owner or manager. I do not recommend going to the salon. The owner isn't willing to do what's right or fair for the customers. read more

I had a Lavender pedicure and a gel Polish manicure. Both were fine, with a 10 minute leg massage and the option for a neck massage. The ladies were very efficient and do such good work. The services were a little pricey ($75), but overall, worth the visit. The place is a little worn and could use an update, but it was tidy and the workers wear masks and the soaking bowls have removable plastic liners and they use new emery boards and buff bars for each customer. read more

Me and my sister thoroughly enjoyed this recommended salon. Did not know what to expect... like how popular it is!! We booked spa pedicures for 2, we weren't sat next to each other which was a little disappointing to say the least and we did try not to talk over the woman seated between us!! But the polish (reg.) and spa pedicures were great! Would def go again when I visit either of my sisters... but would clarify chairs next to each other for sure. read more

Prices are good and the staff is very accommodating. 3 stars because the nail tech that did my pedicure was a little too vigorous when pushing back cuticles. I have some visible irritation and stinging now. Ouch! read more

I was nervous about going here for the first time but WIN did a great job. He did exactly what I wanted (these are my natural nails with SNS) and honestly I couldn't be happier. This is my new place moving forward read more

Obsessed with my nails !!!! I used Anna for my nails and she was amazing.. Amy did my pedicure and she was so sweet and patient with me (I'm a very picky customer lol) I LOVE my nails! The only thing I didn't like was when they pulled out the metro card to take off one of my nails.. that is the worst thing you could do at a nail salon but they made up for it by being so nice and by giving me exactly what I wanted! read more

I stumbled into this nail salon based on the reviews I read, I figured I will give it a shot, this was by far one of the best manicures I ever had. I always have a complaint, so let me give you the one complaint I had. There was a woman that cleaned my nails and she cut too deep, I told her one of my nails was irritated and it seems she told the owner to continue my nails, so I wanted to see what he could do. They also need more colors but they can easily fix that. The good part. The owner did an excellent job, I wish I got his name. It was my first time getting SNS and he slayed my nails. He explained the process, how to maintain them and remove them when the time came. He fixed every little thing I noticed on my nails, and didnt notice, he made sure to give me 5 star service and I was more pleased. I got a free back massage, hand massage and hand wax mask treatment that made my hands feel soft and amazing. This place is clean and I will definitely be returning. read more

This place takes advantage of children!!! This place is not honest and upfront. Girls are so excited to get their nails done for a special occasion and their parents end up angry and miserable about what should have been a fun and exciting experience! They are told one price then all of a sudden the price goes up $15! They do this wether their parents are there or not. DO NOT go to Time To Get Nail! When my child told me about this, they offered to take off the ombre and refund the money which is ridiculous! She said she couldn't understand what they were explaining. All she understood was that it was $90 not the quoted $75 (although the day before when I called for a price they said $55!) and then she was told she had to tip!!! Unbelievable! My child is not the only one this happened to either! I wish I had been warned ahead of time what shisters are running this place but all I can do is let others know with this review. read more

First time going here today. Got a great pedicure and SNS powder dip. Will definitely be back.

Recommend!! This place was so nice and it had a cute show playing. (There was also such a cute kid, probably one of the workers kids but he was adorable.) The guy who did my nails was very nice and took me right away. I did have an apt, but usually nail places will take walk-ins so they don't leave, but I didn't have to wait. My nails we jacked up, but they looked very good after he fixed them. This was my first time here and I was impressed. I got a $65-$70 service, but he only charged me $55 for UV gel nails. read more

Haven't been here since before the pandemic but I really should go back! First off, hands down the cleanest salon I've been to. I get a nice warm feeling seeing that the tools and foot baths get cleaned between appointments. Mary gives one HELL of a foot massage and Wayne is extremely analytical of his work. I had powder gel manicures done by him and when I say it was PERFECT... I mean perfect. I'm OCD when it comes to symmetry and he really did an A+ job. The prices are fair for the service, but the service is fantastic and worthy of a great tip. They also offer a free 10 minute massage with mani/pedi, which they do when you sit down for your finger nails. I don't know the name of the man who does the massages, but he sure makes you feel like a whole new woman. It's hard to say no to another 10 minutes for $10. Brb gotta go make an appointment read more

I made an appointment via Yelp message and was so shocked how quickly I responded to. They got me in on a busy Sunday afternoon and I had sent the message Saturday evening. I received a complimentary neck massage while getting my manicure that was much needed. The prices were very reasonable for that area. The whole staff was super friendly, I was only in town for work or else this would be my nail spot going forward. read more

I was excited about this salon based on its reviews, and I wish I could concur with what many others believe is a great nail salon. The salon was very busy when I arrived on a Saturday morning. I chose a regular pedicure and an SNS dip powder manicure. My first major issue was cleanliness. While they do use the large plastic covers inside the pedicure tubs, they did not once clean the actual tubs in between pedicures. The use of the plastic cover does not negate the need to clean in between. I watched the workers place their tools into a small plastic sanitizing box at each station, but they did not close the boxes to sanitize them in between clients. They simply placed them on the top portion of the boxes, never closing them to allow the tools to become submerged at all in the solution. I actually stopped and asked for her to clean the cuticle cutter because I could visibly see someone else's cuticles still left on the tool. They used small, ripped washcloth rags as the towels for your feet/hands which I also questioned if they were cleaned because they were damp and cold, quite unlike the type of spa experience anyone wishes for. The pedicure came out decent, and the massage was strong and felt great. My dip manicure has been very disappointing. After just a couple days, three of my nails have broken and chipped in the corners, where it seems the dip powder was applied very thinly. This is quite the opposite from the experience I've had at other local places where the dip lasts me three weeks with zero issues! I will definitely not be going back, mainly because of the cleanliness factor but also because I could receive such a far superior experience at other local places. read more

Amazing service! The owners and employees really stand by the quality of their work, and it shows! Thank you very much. Love my nails. Definitely recommend to my friends. read more

I paid 55 dollars plus 20 dollar tip for slow service and now my nails have fungus growing on them because the nail wasn't adhered to the nail properly... very upset and disappointed and I would go to another one if you want gel/acrylic nails. read more

Just went there for first time tonight. I had Fanny and Amanda, they were great. I had gel nails done and waxed my eyebrows. Definitely try to call ahead, they get busy but try very hard to accommodate clients. Already made an appointment to go back! read more

Got a SNS manicure with a regular pedicure. Ana did my hands and Mary did my pedicure. Amazing on both ends! Very clean salon! A regular pedicure includes hot stone massage and wax on your heels. It was amazing! So happy I found this place. read more

I've been to my fair share of nail salons trying to find one that I really liked or trying to find a salon where I didn't have to make an appointment 2-3 weeks ahead of time!! I'm so glad I found this place that does the SNS nails! Anna did a great job and in a timely fashion, I was in and out within an hour and I could not love my nails more! They even give you a free massage while you get your nails done.. and thy guarantee there work for 2 weeks any problems you can go back and they'll fix it for you!! read more

It's a shame I really wanted to like this place, third time here and I decided to get a marble nail design as advertised on their selections. They charge $10 more for it, I did SNS and then they use polish for the marble. They struggled to do the design many times, from a distance I was fine with it because I was going to be late for work. Well I'm now really looking at them and they are no where near what marble should look like. I'm so annoyed because I paid a decent amount of money. Now I'm just going to take it off because I refuse to go back. If you can't do designs don't offer it!!!! read more

This place exceeded my expectations by far! I got a gel manicure by Steven. It was $25 which is pretty average for gel manicures in the area, but this gel manicure included a free 15 minute massage (in addition to the usual massage you get while your nails are drying) and a paraffin wax dip for your hands! Steven was really careful to make sure everything came out perfect and my nails look better than they have in a very very long time! Steven also told me if anything happens to my nails within two weeks I can go back and they will fix it! Amazing!! Everything was very clean and sanitary. They also gave me a card for a free manicure after 10 and a sheet with coupons for free manicures (with pedicure) and money off. Please give this place a chance, we need to get them busy so they around for a while! I moved to Oakdale over a year ago and I have not found nail salon I was pleased with until now. While I was sitting there a woman came in for a pedicure and was disappointed that they did not have weekday specials (which I can totally understand). However, if the pedicure is anywhere near as great as the gel manicure it is worth the extra $5. Also, if you do it, you can get the coupons so the next few times you go, it will be as if they do have a special. Seriously, give this place a chance, I promise you won't regret it. read more

Please read the review fully to understand why it is 2 stars. When I went in there, looking for a set of acrylics to be done, they said they didn't do acrylics, they did gel nails. Okay. No problem. I let Anna start applying the gel nails and they literally all stood up off my nail beds at about a 30 degree angle. There was NO way I was leaving with my nails doing that. I asked her to please remove all the nails, which she did immediately. However, in doing so, she also cut my natural nails off with them, leaving them extremely short. My pinky nails were practically gone. I told her just do a manicure on what you left me with and let me get out of here. Now, she was very apologetic, very sweet, very nice and very accommodating. She did a nice manicure of whatever nails I was left with. Paraffin hand treatment. The lotion and hot towel with hot stone massage (all that nonsense) and a back massage while you are getting all of that handled. She polished my nails a very nice nude color and I left. The next day, I got a full set of acrylics elsewhere. Now, if you LIKE the way gel nails sit on your hands? That's great! This is probably the salon for you. For me? I didn't care for it as my nails looked like they were about to fly off my fingertips at the angle they were. But I will say that Anna was a very lovely lady and she was very sweet. However she is the ONLY reason this review is not one star. read more

$55 without tip for a fill in?! I've never paid anywhere near that much anywhere else. It was simply an acrylic gel fill in. I've never paid more than $40 for the same thing anywhere else on the island. Had no idea it would be so much, did a good job but still $55 plus tip is A LOT for that! read more

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD. Worst nail experience I've ever had . So overpriced and didn't give me what I wanted. I wanted them Long he said "No, Long break" ?? I said these are too short and he didn't respond. Spent 3 hours in this place just for a manicure and pedicure that turned out horrible. He couldn't do the design I wanted and cut them way too short after i said multiple times I didn't want them short. Then as I'm paying he tells me I need to get more money for the ATM for a tip? Are you serious? After HORRIBLE service he tells me I need more than a $3 tip, he is lucky I was even going to tip at all. The fact he couldn't do what I wanted, took way too long, and had the audacity to tell me I needed to get more money for a tip!!!! This place is 0/10 DO NOT GO HERE read more

Everyone was super nice and I love the paraffin on my feet and hands. The woman that did my mani/pedi took her time and was very nice. Also enjoyed a free 5 min back massage while getting my nails done! Very Pleased and will be back ! Thank you read more

I loved there service my acrylics were cute and perfect loved them i payed $90 so they are pricy the reason im rating 2 stars is because of how they like to rip you off for tips. I went with my sister and we got pedi done too. They kept changing people and i ended up being serviced with 4 diff people when i leave after i had already left a 20 tip 10 for my girl and 10 for the guy helping my sister they insisted i has to pay tip for the 4 other people they were standing at the door like if we were stealing after i payed 200 for both nails and 10 tip so we gave them a 20 tip and then after we realized the scam asked for it back. read more

Always a pleasure to go to this salon. They fit me in- even if they are busy the wait is never more than 10 mins.

This is one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. Everyone is super nice and personable. They really make sure you are getting what you want and take their time to do it. I highly recommend this salon to everyone. They are a little pricier than other places but you are most definitely getting your moneys worth. Steven did my full acrylic set and they came out amazing!

I got powder dip nails by Amanda and I have to say that my nails never looked so damn good!! I've been on a hunt for a new nail salon so I tried this place out for the first time. I wanted to book another appointment but they do no to acrylics which I wanted to go back to. They do offer UV gel I believe is what it's called, they said $60 for full set and $40 fills which is more than I'm used to paying for acrylics which is the only reason I haven't been back. I HIGHLY recommend this place though read more

Love this place, not sure why it took me so long to go here. Julie did an amazing job. She took her time and I loved it!

Enjoyed a relaxing pedi with my auntie today. They did a lovely job. I enjoyed the parafin & hot stones included in the lavender pedicure. My aunt and I had an appt and when we arrived there weren't enough people to start us at the same time which was a little annoying. But aside from that we had a great time. I'm sure we'll be back! read more

I have never experienced such a awful nail salon experience in my entire life. I walked in and I asked for help finding a rose gold color and they completely dismissed me and worked on a different customer. My nail tech then asked me what color I wanted I told her I wanted rose gold and she just handed me the colors without helping me. They moved me 3 times. I felt like i wasn't a valued customer. They wouldn't assist me or cared that I wasn't being helped. Worst customer service i have ever seen. I handed the nail tech 5 dollars and walked out completely appalled on how i was treated. read more
