Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in Poughkeepsie, NY (Part 2)

Margie Rinaldi I just love Carrie, she is so funny! The reason I gave 4 stars is because a couple of times I didnt get what I wanted. ..maybe I didnt explain it correctly. She is extremely talented though and I always find myself going to her to have her fix my hair from the last butcher job all because I couldnt wait for her to do it!

Charlie Lattin Very professional, caring & helpful. They do your hair exactly as you want & like it. They go the step beyond to satisfy.

Elena Kondor Wonderful place! Want fun hair? Ask for Carrie. Shes the only one I trust to give me what I want.

Rodline Smith My nails ALWAYS look amazing after a visit from seeing Danielle! Her customer service is top notch and the whole Flava gurlz beauty bar is a whole vibe! It is definitely a place where you can truly be relaxed and be yourself. Please go book them now, you will not be disappointed! By the way my nails in the picture is the builder gel service not acrylic.

Shannon Rothermel I have been getting my nails done by Danielle since November and I will only being going to see her going forward. She has such an amazing energy and is welcoming to all of her clients. I get an amazing set every time and she does not disappoint. I would highly recommend Flava Gurlz!!!!!

LaQuita Flava Gurlz is the best place we ever got my nails done at. It had good vibes positive energy from everyone. Destinee u was amazing made us feel welcomed like we family. You really slayed my daughter n my nails

J S Very thorough stylist that does a great set of French acrylic nails. The guys at work have been complimenting how good they look after two weeks of no chips (I work in construction). Her prices are great for nails and waxing!

Mitchel D Hall What an amazing experience. My girlfriend has cerebral palsy, so it is very difficult for her to speak and completely control her right hand. San took such good care of her and made her feel so comfortable the entire time. We will be going no where else for now on. God bless you San!

Bill Sepe My toe and fingernails have never looked healthier. San does a terrific job.

Andrea Wilson I have been having massages with Karla for 4 years now. I just followed her to Appearace Salon & Day Spa. The atmosphere was calming and soothing and as always Karla is great! You will not be disappointed!

Kate Underhill Tom and his staff are amazing! I have been coming here for many years and am always impressed with everything! Several months ago I came in looking to do something different with my hair but not entirely sure what to do and Tom suggested a funky short hair style that I love and have been keeping for the past several months. With this style I have been getting multiple complaints about my hair and I always tell them that I get it done by Tom at Appearance Day Spa! The same time that I started getting my hair done with the funky short cut I also started to get my hair colored to a brighter blonde….before that I had only gotten some highlights in my hair…this time I got my hair completely colored; Tom colored my hair himself and made sure that I was comfortable and nothing felt like it was burning or hurt. 100/10! I love coming here to get my hair done! I won’t let anyone but Tom do my hair!!! Tom is the best!!!!!

Shari Mullen My daughter had her hair blown out and curled for a very special event. Sorry to say the curls did not even last until she got home to change into her party clothes. She was quite upset as was I that I spent money for nothing.

Kristen Popolizio The salon is clean and well-kept. Gel removal is done carefully to protect the nails, and I always leave with beautiful manicures and pedicures from all the nail techs. Sinthia, in particular, did an exceptional job on this manicure!

K D Clean salon with a very terrible customer service attitude. They truly act like they are doing you a favor by taking your money. I have been coming here about a year . Yesterday I saw Jenny who I have not seen before. I had a spa pedicure scheduled and had a gel manicure which was done there and has been flaking off and my nails chipping so I asked if they were able to just soak them off while I got my pedicure. I didn’t even need a new manicure. I also added if not, when can I come back? I was not demanding it was a question and they agreed to do it. I don’t know if this set Jenny off or what but I was treated so poorly throughout. She didn’t help me in or out of the chair with the gloves on my hands and she didn’t help me sit at the dryer while I had wet hands and feet. The customer next to me did. At the end of the appt I felt unwelcome, disrespected and like I was done a huge favor. But I was paying the $80+ dollars that I was charged and still expected to leave a tip. Hilarious.

Aileen I went here to get UV tips put on for my sisters wedding. They are expensive but I thought that they would come out nice. It came out awful. None are the same shape the French is different on every nail. She cut me several times. A week later one came off, the one that was sticking up. I paid 110 plus tip for them to last a week and Im not rough on them.

Graciela Torres I got acrylic french tips for $53, which is a fair price but there were a few things that turned me off about this place. The guy that was doing my nails was rushing through the whole process and cut one of my nails shorter than all the rest. I asked him to make them coffin-shaped after noticing that he had filed them to be square, but I ended up with blocky square nails at the end of it. I came in with a Pinterest inspired picture with a small lipstick design on the ring finger which wasn’t super intricate. Three of the employees attempted to recreate the design to no avail, so I just told them to leave it as regular french tips. I noticed that their workstation and tools were kind of dirty, and that goes for the whole place in general. When I got home I managed to fix the nails myself by filing them down, but I shouldn’t have had to do that after paying them and clearly asking them to make them coffin-shaped. I don’t think I’ll be going back there, the nails ended up nice after I fixed them but if you want good quality for the price, I would suggest that you go to another nail salon. I’ve attached the inspo pic I showed them and how my nails turned out after I filed them.

Alyssa Villielm I’ve gone here a few times and usually they’re spot on, but today was awful. I showed the guy a picture of what I wanted but chose a different color that I love and told him I just wanted the exact picture with this color and almond nails. My nails are short square, glossy and the nail art looks nothing like the picture.

Allie Sprauer Ive been here several times. Service has been okay at best, not great. My friend went today and had the most awful experience. She asked for a design on her nails, nothing crazy (pictures will be added). Instead of telling her it was not a design that they would be able to do, they made her sit there and re-do the design over and over again while she sat in the chair crying. She left, after they made her pay full price, in tears with an atrocious manicure. It looks awful and now has to be re-done somewhere else. It is completely okay if a design or request is too difficult, but to make someone sit there while you butcher it over and over again and then make them full price for shoddy work is disgusting behavior.

Lindsey Baillargeon Been coming here for over a year now and I will only see Hanna. She is an artist at what she does. I leaving feeling amazing and always get compliments on my nails. Everyone there is so nice and they all do an amazing job.

Robin K Service has gone way downhill. Waited a hour for my nail tech to show up(only waited bc they started prepping my nails & I couldn’t leave with them like that!) Didn’t even come close to the design I asked for & the design was ugly. Yesterday I walked out 40 minutes past my appointment, fed up since I’ve been a client for several years & now this has happened twice. My daughter went in a few weeks ago & they did a horrible job & were rude when she asked them to fix it. Too many nail salons in the area to get bad service

Neeman Sall Love love this place!! Super awesome super sweet people. Great service and your nails will last 3+ weeks with gel or dip. It is very clean. Im definitely coming back!

Emily Silva Ashley is so nice and even gave good advice on caring for my nails. Super easy going with design and colors.

Andie (AndieRose) Ashley is the best!! She does anything you want and you never leave unless its perfect!! Always willing to fit you in or work with your schedule. If youre looking for a friendly, awesome nail tech, shes your gal!

PAWs Pack Cant say enough good things about Ashley. My nail technician moved south many years ago and recommended Ashley. I have been going to her ever since. She keeps my nails in great condition and I get so many compliments on the designs that she loves to do on them. I highly recommend her services.

Christy Havranek Been trying to find a good, reliable spot for pedicures and finally did. The space is clean and atmosphere is chill, I never felt rushed, and everyone was nice. Lily was my tech and she was thorough and meticulous. Also, first time making a pedicure appointment at a salon anywhere — and I was actually seen on time!! Will be 100% be back.

Amanda de Bara I was able to make an appointment the same day which was great. Its a small place on main Street but its clean and very nice looking. They have so many color choices. The owner was really nice and attentive when I came in. It was only her and one other employee. The girl that helped me gave me a spa gel pedicure and manicure. She is really talented at 3d nail art. I didnt get anything fancy I only got one color but I saw the designs she did on her boss (Disney princesses on each finger!) and her own nails and they were so cool. I dont get my nails done too often so I wasnt really sure what I wanted but I definitely want to come back here and get something really cool next time. Its small and intimate and relaxing as opposed to those really big salons that just want to get you in and out and turn you over. Great place thank you for a relaxing time to myself. Also the prices are REALLY reasonable and totally worth it.

Sasha Hands down the BEST pedicure I got in the Hudson Valley!! The service started on time, Keyla was supper thorough and the service didn’t feel rushed. The entire place is super cute and clean. Will definitely come back.

Tha Jw Lulu They are all good and professional I go to this girl who is soo good and I always want her to do my nails, she does anything you want her to do with any nail shape. Both me and my mom go here for over 8+ years . The owners are great people i recommend them to all my family and friends and lots of my family go to them because they love my nails and my moms and they keep asking us where we go .. you spent depending on what you ask for I always ask for extra that’s why it gets up to 90 but the images down didn’t cause much maybe 50-60 and it’s UV Gel of course..

Patricia Dominguez Okay. I have been going here on and off for years. I will never be going back. I recently got my nails done here and although I was happy with the outcome someone needs to address Vincent. He is a problem. He was yelling in English and his language about me I guess. I had my young daughter get her nails done but afterward she kept wanting to hang near me and he was not happy at all. I read other reviews where that say he screams at customers and employees. This is not the okay. There was another woman in the salon with me shocked at how he was behaving. We even discussed it. Nail pro has officially lost my business.

Nicholas Cheung I dont know why people keep saying the owner yells at his customers it is not true he is a nice hard working owner helped me with my nails. Was kind. However it does seem like he has a lot of stress. Very kind and helpful tho.

Margaret Pittman Ive been going to Linda for 9years and I love Linda to do my nails design highly recommend her and Jackie!

Theresa Travers I never write reviews but..My daughter had a full set of acrylic nails done at simply nails and they looked terrible. Every nail was a different shape. Some were crooked and different lengths. I ended up taking her somewhere else to have them reshape them. It has been a week and they are already falling off. Wasted money I would never recommend.

Jaysha Monroe last week when i called and asked for a full set with gel color and linda stated she usually takes appointments only but i could come in 30 mins. as this was my first time here, i was so excited. She attempted to do the style that i requested via an instagram photo. Linda did work quickly because i was bodywearing my newborn but was a little rough. When it came up the top coat we had to do it about three rounds because there were air bubbles each time. overall the shop is clean and she is friendly but the quality of my nails turned out pretty bad. its been one week and my nails look like they have been on for a month. probably wont be returning. i paid $54 for the below (full acyrlic set with gel color and hand drawn design) picture of what i requested is also included.

ash :] Zenly did an amazing job on my nails, but also was so kind the entire time, and so was everybody else in the salon! Brian did a great job on my pedicure, and it was an all around great experience. Thank you very much for my beautiful set! By the way, the nail set was not very long and still came out this amazing.

katie kondor Returning Customer! Max and Zen are usually my go to techs. Had a different nail tech today. I never caught his name, but he did an amazing job! perfect shape and good quality. never a miss coming here 2/3/25 Zen and her artistic capabilities are outstanding. She never disappoints with her designs and efficiency! 12/17/24 Very happy with my new set, Max once again very enjoyable to talk to, remembered my name and what we’d talked about. Highly satisfied and recommended. 8/1/24 Very friendly staff and nice environment. Stopped in randomly off a whim, they took me right in and made me feel welcome. Max was super nice, and did a great job on my gel set. It’s was nice he made a point to get to know me. Definitely will be back soon for a pedicure too!

Evelyn Milburn Zen was AMAZING! I’d never gotten a full set done and she was so welcoming and patient with me. The nails came out perfectly, even better than I imagined. The whole experience was relaxing and so much fun. Will definitely be back to get them filled.

Serena Urena Ok! So I have to say the people here are so amazing they are so respectful, fun and caning . This place is the bomb! I have been coming to Kira for years even before she came to this place. She makes sure you are well taken cared of and Sky, she is an amazing artist! Designs that will blow you away! Trust me you won’t be disappointed! I’m so glad they opened this place.

Amia Canela This is the best nail salon in town!!! Me and my mom got Christmas nails and they turned out cute. Thank you so much Kira!!

Emma Gabor I got my eyelashes permed and dyed at rainbow nails and they did an amazing job! Since I’m a blond this made a huge difference and my lashes look great. I would recommend the services they provide.
