    Great job. Nails look perfect. Very friendly staff. Clean new pedicure chairs. Bright atmosphere. Right next to subway.

    I Showed him a design and he did an amazing job!! Took care of my nails too! Pedicure and manicure took 2 hours

    The coating started to fade within a week and look at the nail shape doesn't look professional enough tho.

    Such a bad experience at this nail salon. I got Gel-X, and the coating started to fade in less than a week. Plus, the nail shape wasn't great and I paid $60 for this. I went back today to get them removed, but they only had to take off three nails since I'd already removed the rest myself. At first, they quoted me $3 for the removal, but then they charged me $5, claiming it was because they had to remove the other nails but it was for a tiny bit of gel line, not the whole Gel-X. That doesn't make any sense. Definitely won't be going back.

    2 days after getting my gel nails done they started cracking

    I was so excited to try out this new place since it had recently opened. I went and had a great experience with the lady who did my toes :) it wasn't until they switched me over to a different lady for my nails, that's when everything went south. The lady seemed really distracted and was not really paying attention to my nails. She put THREE coats of gel on it which was fine at first bc she said it was see through. Two days later I noticed my nails had cracked/started to chip. So I called and told them what happened and the young girl on the phone was super sweet and told me to come in. When I came in I met the young girl and she took a look at my nails and said they would fix it. The manager came to the front and harshly grabbed my hands and started telling me it was my fault for them chipping. I told her that I always get gel and that this was the first time this had happened to me. She proceeded to ignore me and told me to sit. As she started taking off the polish off my thumb, I noticed she was ignoring the other two nails that were chipped on the same hand. I kindly let her know about those and she responded "I will cover with nail polish" and I asked her if she could just re-do them since my nails already had three coats of polish, one more coat would not have fixed it. She then grabbed my hand harshly and started removing the polish off of that hand, in which she nicked my finger with her machine. She didn't say sorry or anything but she started slamming everything as if she was upset. Throughout this whole process I was super uncomfortable, I was the only person in the salon and didn't understand why she was in such a rush to get me out of there. After she finished re-doing the 3 nails I kindly got up and left. I didn't want to leave a bad review but after a week of having these nails most of them are cracked / chipped and it just made me realize that I will not be coming back. It sucks because the lady who did my toes was great, but the way her manager handled the issue about the chipped polish was not. I paid $90 for gel manicure and pedicure and somehow it didn't last me a week.

    I went to the salon because I had a thick acrylic set of nails with some 3-D designs on them and needed a soak and file to remove them. I knew doing it at home I would damage my nail bed by doing it the old fashion way ( metro card and pop them them off lol ) so I decided to go into Umi to get it done professionally. I didn't catch the girls name, but she agreed to remove my nail set which was great. She started by clipping off my acrylic and making sure not to cut off my natural nail that was growing underneath. And then she decided to take a nail clipper and another acrylic nail and pop off my nails instead of soaking and filing. At first I let her do her thing because maybe this was another method that worked better, but I noticed that there was pain and my nail bed started peeling. I asked her to please stop and soak and file instead because I was afraid of damage to my nails since she was just popping them off ( which I can do at home ). She told me that that would take too long in my nails are too thick and this was better. I politely disagreed with her saying how she's accidentally clipping off my natural nail and splitting my nail bed by doing that. By the end, I was bleeding my nails were in pain and she completely ruined my nail bed. She blamed my nails for being too thin but if we were to soak and file, this would not have happened. My first finger still has nail polish on it, and the rest are currently all split and broken. For the next week I have been in pain at work and been cleaning them to make sure I do not get an infection. We spoke politely and cordially about what had happened and I was fortunate enough where they did not charge me, but I will not be going back to this nail salon.

    I can only give three stars for this place because of the it's customer service and time…read moremanagement. I book an appointment but still had to wait for 20-25 mins after my appointment time. I asked the lady ( should be the store manager ) how long do I have to wait and it's been a while after my scheduled time, she replied " everyone here made an appointment " That being said ", I understand the summer is a prime time to get your nails done but the response from the manager could be better. Customers respects the stores and made an appointment, maybe the store should respect the customer's time as well. By the way - the A/C was barely working on a hot summer day...

    Came here on a whim since my normal nail spot is just a bit too pricey for me at the moment, and…read moreI'm so glad I did! Lina is the best, she really listened to what I wanted while being honest about any limitations. I believe the service I received cost $95-I did gel builder with tips, asked for medium length almond shape and showed her a reference photo which I've attached here. I'm so so impressed. The video attached was taken over a week later and my nails still look amazing! The salon is small, but that's normal for salons in Queens. I was able to make a last minute appointment on a busy day, I waited just a little bit and just had a great experience. I'll definitely be going back !!!
