    Nail design posted by the business
    Ciara H.

    Thank you Susan for allowing my friend and I to return for a different style. The manicures came out beautifully as shown in the photos. Although there is a policy to accommodate nail discrepancies , it was definitely an uncomfortable experience to return. The nail tech who did my nails was there and reminded me I said I liked them. If someone is giving me what I'd hope was their best, I would be offended too. Please do understand I was made fun of by my boyfriend after getting my nails done. That's not a nice feeling. I felt bad to come back after appreciating her efforts but I had no other choice. I've built conspiracies that maybe once the gel cured under the UV, it may of widened the lines. Endless possibilities but please don't let my experience deter you. The shop is very clean with cute interior design and the mani pedis are great!

    My favorite nail salon in my area! The ladies are great, quick and I love my nails every single time.

    Cuts from the drill.

    Well... I came here twice they did a nice clean job each time , that's why I returned for a hard gel fill the technician I don't remember her name kept cutting me with the drill I didn't say anything but those cuts hurt they feel like paper cuts. Anyways the nails turned out ok not my favorite but fine enough. As I am paying I usually leave the change to the technician if I HAVE MORE I WILL leave more but she stops me and says it's mandatory in "New York" to tip 18% to 20% witch I understand my total was 75$ I was giving her $10 tip witch is 15%. I've never felt more embarrassed or put on the spot ever in my life over A Tip. Tip Is never MANDATORY but it's nice she was trying to force me to leave more. I have worked in customer service and have never asked anyone in my life to leave more tip. I WILL NEVER BE BACK.

    I finally found a nail salon on the East Side that is reasonably priced and does a nice manicure. The staff is very attentive and friendly. I really enjoyed the service and the way they shape my nails. I always walk in and they take me right away. I haven't had to wait once yet.

    Found this place while looking for a nail salon in the East side of midtown while passing time before dinner with friends and wanted to get a manicure. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable...comparable to other nail salons... $12 for a regular manicure...weekday regular mani/pedi combo for $30... Extra for add-ons, etc. if you go at the right time, not much of a wait. They did a good job and I've been back for a mani-pedi too! Will come again when I need mani/pedi in midtown.

    I take my nail care VERY seriously, which explains why it took until five months after my move further uptown that I actually decided to try a place in my not-so-new-anymore hood. Separation anxiety? Understatement. But change is good, right? Right. I sent my friend here for a test-run prior to coming myself (I told you, manicure OCD to the max), and she said it would be granted my approval once I tried. I arrived around 6pm on a Thursday night and they weren't busy just yet, by 6:30 they had a rush of people come in. I was impressed with their selection of Essie and OPI polishes, and they have a few different brands of gel. Their prices are also some of the best in Midtown East. $10 for a manicure and no added on tax like other places have. Yes! The nail technicians were very nice and accommodating. I was also impressed at how thorough mine was with my cuticles. She kept making sure she cleaned them up well and if she noticed something later on, she'd correct it immediately. Now THAT is good service! The only thing that stopped me from giving Urban a full five stars has nothing to do with the manicure but rather, the ambiance. It's totally fine, clean, and well maintained, but maybe I was just missing the spa-like vibe I got at my old place. Sigh, can't win 'em all, I guess. Also, there is limited seating at the driers but thankfully they dry polish quickly. I think I found my new weekly spot! Lastly, they do have a rewards card! Every 10 manicures you get a free one...but they don't advertise this so you gotta ask!

    Nothing like a shitty gel manicure on a Friday morning, right? I wasn't expecting to be blown away based on the price, but I do expect it to look better than this. And they charged a $3 card fee without telling me.

    About to take care of these puppies lol

    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
