tatiana rahaman I would recommend this nail salon to everyone, the best in queens excellent customer service and friendly staff. My nail tech coco always slayed my nails I can’t get over how talented and professional she is . The very best thank you for everything ❤️❤️

Bianca Quinones Was iffy about coming here because the reviews are mixed but couldnt make it to my regular salon so I came here. I was seen immediately for a gel pedicure and manicure and the manicure was done while I was doing the pedicure. This was super convenient and service was done efficiently. I will definitely be coming back here.

Krissy Scarlett I’ve been coming to Yao Lin nails for yearsss, over 12 yrs , and every time I do my nails I am stunned . I feel like a million bucks when I leave , nails and toes looking and feeling amazing . Coco, Wendy , Maria , everyone there are amazing .

Ashley Alvarez Speedy ; effecient demure ?? I love coming here. I’ve been coming for over a year. Have brought my daughter a few times as well. Never have been disappointed. Thank you ladies !! ❤️

Nathalie Burgos I had a nail malfunction from another shop and needed a second place to ensure I got my nails done before vacation. I found this place through google and decided to give it a shot. I am so happy I gave it a shot! They did a great job with the shape and color. Additionally, I was able to be seen right away. The appointment was about an hour which was great for an after work appointment. Looking forward to coming back to get serviced again!

Joanna Makayan I have been here many times before when I lived in the area and the one day I decided to go back, I had the worst experience EVER. I had my SNS powder removed, but during the process, Jenny did not do a good job. First, she did not even soak my nails in acetone then tore off my first and second finger nails of my right hand while attempting to ply off the SNS powder with an acrylic nail. Then she used the electric nail file on my dry nails, so of course it hurt when she filed too deep and I told her it hurt and even flinched; but no acknowledgment or apology. I wanted to do SNS powered again, but I told her I would just do a regular manicure since 2 of the nails were already short. The first finger of my right hand, she attempted to file but obviously that’s the nail she tore off so I knew the skin was torn and I hope I do not get an infection. When it came time to pay, she did not hand me my full change and held onto her “tip” even after I asked her how much everything cost. I honestly should have gotten up and left after the few times I flinched and told her my nails hurt. I am very disappointed and should have asked to be seen by Cici instead. But I don’t think I will come back again.

Mary Smith The service I received was extremely unsatisfactory, warranting a rating of zero if possible. I requested a basic manicure; however, the technician failed to cut or shape my nails and did not apply any lotion. Instead, she merely applied polish to my unprepared nails and appeared to be in a hurry. I am very disappointed with the overall experience and cannot recommend this service.

Brianna Saint-Clair Great pedicure, she was very attentive and did not rush at all. I was a walk in and they took my right away on a Saturday at 6pm. Very relaxing, and nails look great. I paid 42$ for a gel pedicure and removal of previous gel. I would definitely recommend

Fianna Avila Ive come here a few times . Honestly its a no frills salon get in and get out . The pedicure lady is amazing. I had my hands done by jade this time n I loved them . Im picky I dont mind tipping well based on service. I like nude and neutrals so you can see every bump if dine poorly .The women I use to see there isnt there anymore. N Ive tried other people who are nowhere near as skilled in this salon n others . I honestly hated the work . But the location is essential n Im busy. Id see her again she was fantastic.

Christine T Stopped by for a pedicure and a full set powder manicure while visiting my son. The salon is less than a 2 min walk from where Im staying and I have to say the reviews are legit. Cici fit me in and was so patient. By far the best session Ive had in years! Thank you so much!

Joann Wang Started coming here in 2022 after being rescheduled 3x by my last nail spa, and I absolutely love it here. They have a friendly, no-nonsense attitude, and really try their best. They’re very popular and get super busy during the weekends though so I highly recommend making an appointment in advance and showing up ON TIME. If you’re coming here during the weekdays, it gets busy after 5pm. I noticed that best time was on weekdays when they first open. They also have an awesome rewards points system where you can redeem different kinds mani/pedis and special treatments after spending a certain amount. I thought this was very unique and FAIR compared to other point systems that go based off visits (cus a $20 mani shouldn’t earn the same points as an $80 powder).

Em Cee I’ve been a customer here for a while with no complaints, but today was a major letdown. All I asked for was a simple sns manicure. My nails came out with visible texture and spots that weren’t fixed, now I will be going to a different salon this week to get them redone. I’ve attached photos to show the issues. And no, it wasn’t my fault, they messed up on the top coats and drying process. The tech said the spots came from the salons dip powder products. Also I was unable to use my loyalty card for a free manicure because “it’s not allowed on weekends.” Given that my nails weren’t done properly in the end, I would’ve appreciated the gesture of receiving the free service, especially since my card was fully stamped. They gave me a little discount because I asked them for it, but I felt they were just being greedy. Customer service and satisfaction is everything and today I was unimpressed, so I will not return.

Catalina Lopez I go for pedicures with Rosa, shes amazing at what she does. Unfortunately, theyre is only two people doing nails, and they ONLY take scheduled appointments (which fill up quickly).

Judy Poochie Helens place has been my go to nail salon for about 6 years now. Her staff work very hard and Helen is always there to help translate what you want if need be. I suggest you make your appointment early and arrive on time. Prices are fair. Parking is a pain. Got these done today: coffin shape power dip set for $40.

Erin Catherine I needed a last-minute pedicure for an event and Rosa was so sweet to get me in the very next day. I was so grateful to her for going out of her way to book the service on what was supposed to be her day off. As for the service itself, Rosa took her time to pamper me with the full spa treatment (exfoliation, massage, mask, etc) and gave my nails a lovely pop of color for the summer. Will absolutely be coming back here!

Claire Andrew My pedicure and manicure gel acrylic was absolutely amazing. The person who did it. I didn’t catch her name however she was very quiet and respectful. I did not have an appointment upon walking in. However, the reception was not very welcoming , they didn’t smile or try to inquire in a friendly manner as to how. they might be able to help however, the place was also extremely clean and I felt like I will return.

Crystal Vallecillo Got Gel X nails with hand painted designs and I love how it came out! Mayra is great at what she does. The salon is clean, professional, and offers soooo many different gel colors. I’ve come to this place several times to get pedicures and they always do an excellent job. Finally decided to do my nails after going to someone else for 10+ years and I have no regrets. A little more $$ than I usually pay but you get what you pay for.

Narsamah Besoonat This is the most UNPROFESSIONAL salon ever. I made an appointment for 4/5/24 and I paid 40$ as a deposit to hold my appointment plus I was taxed $1.80 when no service was provided, but I let it go although I was a bit annoyed. So the day before my appointment I called to ask if I can reschedule my appointment, Mayra said, “no I can’t not change my appointment, and if I choose to I would loose my deposit”. Although, I know at most places when a deposit is set to hold an appointment you have 24 hours to make any changes to it- I also let that slide. I told her that okay I don’t have a babysitter can I bring my daughter, as she does not allow children in her salon, which I respected, the reason why I asked. She says “okay, you can bring her”. I thanked her and told her I would see her tomorrow. However, the Mayra calls about an hour before my appointment and was like they have a sewage issue and that I can not come to my appointment, that I would have to use the back door and I would not be able to bring my baby, I said that’s fine can I reschedule my appointment? She goes,”yes you can but you will loose your deposit”, so I said to her, ”I am willing to make my appointment, you are the one canceling on me, why would I loose my deposit ? She then told me to come today, 4/6/24 at 11. When I arrived, no one knew why was I there asking for Mayra because she DOES NOT WORK ON A SATURDAY !! I was livid!! I told them to return me my deposit. So I said to the receptionist that I was charged $1.80 for tax on service that was not provided, I want ALL of my money, she goes well I have to wait until Monday for that when Mayra gets back. At that point, I was SO ANGRY, I told her give me my 40$ so I can go, (which she did). Honesty, I’m not sure if she lied because she didn’t want me to bring my child, but I dont recommend anyone to this nail salon, unless you want to deal with money hungry, greedy people not to mention the disgusting attitude. I used to go to this salon when they just opened a few years back, and they were good, but I guess when a nail tech gets a lot of business, they feel as though they are doing you a favor for free. Also, this was not the first time this has happened which is why I stopped going. The customer service stinks, and Mayra is not very welcoming. Go at your own discretion!!

Dora Limongelli My nails broke after 1 week of receiving a structured manicure. I called and they fit me in for a nail fix which they didnt charge me for (rightfully so). However, I did compensate the nail tech for her time. A week later I noticed 2 more nails breaking and when I called I was told that they could move my appointment up and give me a 15% discount being that it would only have been 2 weeks since last manicure. I agreed because I wanted to give them another chance but I never even got a call back to reschedule my appointment. When I called to follow up I sensed an attitude like I was being annoying. Im sorry but to spend almost $100 on nails that dont even last 2 weeks is insane. If she was a serious business owner she wouldve made it a point to get me in asap especially since I was willing to pay again. This left a very bad taste and I refuse to beg anyone to accept my business.

Xitlalli B If you want a nicely done design, sure this is the place for you. But if you want a good manicure, this might not be the spot for you. I feel okay about my design but the i feel as if my nails don’t look clean, and weren’t given a proper manicure. I didn’t say anything because i thought it might’ve been excess powder from SNS that just needed to be washed off. But it hasn’t even been a week with my nails and they don’t even look fresh. I prefer a well done manicure over just a pretty design. I give it two stars because the receptionist is the sweetest and made me feel so welcomed.

Gaona Priscilla Juliette “PEJOTA” I haven’t been here since July and I don’t miss it. One of the techs there loves cutting toe nails at a slanted angle, when I ask her to cut it down she does a tiny millimeter instead of a noticeable difference… the pedicure process is so messy because they have to balance their uv lights on the edge of the pedi sink or something else instead of having it on a stand like other places. The seats for pedicures are regular chairs instead of spa pedicure chairs that massage you. I have to sit at the edge of it for the nail tech to reach my foot. Oh oh what also annoys me about several techs there is that when they’re scrubbing your feet during a pedicure they do it extremely lightly and half assed it really feels like no effort is put in. One tech that I do like there is Flor. Sorry for this review but I had to get this off my chest I’ve been going there for almost a year and have left angry so many times. Just kept trying to give another chance because the place is clean the employees are overall nice and respectful and they have a good selection of nail colors + it’s the closest spot to my house. But never again.

Brook-Lynn Reign ⭐ **1 Star Review** ⭐ I had a very disappointing experience at **Jade Nails & Spa**. The **pedicure stations were not clean**, and I noticed they **reuse the foot stones** on multiple clients, which is unsanitary. The nail polish bottles looked grimy, like they had been in a nail polish fight. The **bigger nail tech** who sits on the **left side** of the shop and the **older woman** in the middle (who handles money and does nails) were both **unfriendly and unprofessional**. The nail tech on the left was **rough with my hands**, aggressively pulling them back when I flinched as she buffed both my **nails and skin**. Even the **eyebrow waxing station was dirty**. I saw them **blow on the wax before and after applying it**, which is completely unhygienic. At that point, I had to **walk out**. I do **not recommend this salon** due to the lack of cleanliness and poor customer service.

Snowprincess Icy Hostile for your money,, tips tips! Don’t go here stop wasting your money! Money hungry people works here !! Went here to do my nails, was waiting on Angela to do my nails while waiting someone came and started to dig my nails off with a metro card and ripping all my nails of that I took so long to grow and when I told her not to use the metro card to take the sns powder off she continued to do so and keep saying it’s not my nails ripping off and my nails were rip off completely she rip off 6 of my nails using the metro card. I got so pissed off and walk out and didn’t continue. Two or more of them want to work on ur nails and toes and when finished they all fight you for the same amount of tips 5 dollar each two different person on your toes u have to pay $5 each which is $10 in tips and 2 person on ur finger which is another $10 total $20 dollar for tips.. tips is base off if customer wants to give or not but here they all demand on you and does not return ur change they divide your change for their tips which is very nasty.. not every woman who walks into the salon is a working woman and can afford huge amount of tips to each person.. very disappointed and disgusting.. used to do my nails here 3 years ago for a entire year every three weeks and Angela used to do a great job and never asked for tip, I would give my tip to her once I paid but now she’s become hostile for money just like them all. My nails came up to 42 dollars and u paid 50 she takes her tips out of your change without your permission and gives you back wha she feels like which is very disrespectful to customer. They don’t even do the nails properly anymore

The Dreaded Dreamer **update 11/3/24 . I was happy the first time but the following 2 or 3 times is a no. I don’t really want to go back unless it’s to remove what was done today. They don’t listen and want to do what they want. I didn’t want gray nails with glitter or the dipping powder which breaks super easily… extremely disappointed with the service today. Spa pedicure is also a joke. Felt violated and spent more than usual to be only upset and unheard. Crazy. 7/2024- Very happy with my pedicure and tips. The technicians are very attentive & thorough. Great experience

Karolina Kissane I have been coming to this nail salon for a while now. Each time the russian manicure is simply amazing. My nails always last me even up to 5 weeks! I usually do my nails with Irena & she is phenomenal!! They have so many colors to chose from and can do basically any design you show them! All the girls there are very friendly & they offer coffee while you get your nails done. Quality customer service!!! I always say you get what you pay for and at Lily’s nail studio that is definitely true, I always look forward to my next nail appt!

Ann Rashoian I had a great experience at studio.The staff was friendly, and the salon was clean and welcoming. I got a gel manicure, and my nails turned out perfect—great shape and long-lasting polish. The technician was skilled and took the time to make sure I was happy with the results. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place!"

Ste R I have been coming to Lily since the pandemic. They’re all talented on her team. They do exceptional work and I am constantly complimented. The work is consistent and they are always up to date on the latest design and color trends. I refuse to get my nails done anywhere else. It’s easy to book online and they’re very accommodating!! If you’re gonna do a Russian manicure come here!!!

Xandie Zarceno First time going here, will not come back. Asked for powder gel manicure but the lady just decided to do normal gel, when I specifically want powder gel. And she insisted to do normal gel. So customer doesnt have a say to what they want? I thought I was the customer. I should get what I want, I’m paying anyways. Never will come back. Lady insisted it’s the same when it clearly not. Normal get looks normal manicure just longer. Not even close to powder gel. I specifically wanted powder gel and I didn’t get it. I am beyond mad. When I’m trying to tell her I want gel she still continue doing what she want so I just decided to shut up and dreaded every single moment. Super sloppy work. I hateeee my nails!!!! Was supposedly have an appointment for eye lash extensions, immediately cancelled coz I’m too scared that they will just do whatever they want and won’t do what the customer want specifically. Beyond disappointed and mad. Pa should have read the reviews first before going here. Apparently they have bad work here. Looking at the other reviews.

Chen Ye I had an amazing experience at this nail and spa salon! The staff was incredibly professional and welcoming, making sure I was comfortable from start to finish. The ambiance was so relaxing, and the cleanliness was top-notch. My manicure and pedicure turned out perfect, with great attention to detail. The range of colors and services they offer is fantastic! I’ll definitely be returning for more pampering. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality service and a relaxing experience.

Johanna Casanova Although the woman were very respectful and nice I was not happy with my service. Don’t get your eyebrows done here they did a terrible job. My eye brows are very well arched and all it needed was a cleaning. I paid $10 when I could’ve paid $6 where I usually go. The woman didn’t understand English and she did one eyebrow way thicker than the other. Just horrible I am so upset that I have to stay like this until they grow in. I don’t understand how a business specializes in eyebrow and they did a terrible job. His is by far the worst eyebrow service ever and I was nice enough to leave a $10 tip. I should have stayed with my eyebrow tech that I been going to for the last 20 years but she was on vacation. I will never make that mistake again!

Jingya It was a great experience and probably the only great manicure I’ve gotten in my life. My nail tech was Louis and he was able to pull off the design I wanted. He was great, he was very nice and he was very detail oriented for the design I wanted. I was also a walk in, but I did call beforehand and they were very willing to accept me.

Joya Nuruddin Just found my new nail person! Emily was amazing and very meticulous. Everyone in there was friendly. As a lifelong local I am so happy to see new stores/salons on Steinway. I am seeing life come back to Steinway.

Monika C I have been coming to Marble since the week it was open everyone is very sweet and kind they know what they are doing when it comes to nails. You can walk in with any design inspiration and you will walk out with that on your nails Bella Emily and Luis are very talented and next left me with nothing but the best services. Will be returning every 2-3 weeks you guys should give them a chance trust me you won’t be disappointed

Laura Rodriguez My nails have been restored!! After several years of acrylic and apres nails, they were severally damaged. I had been looking for a salon with healthier options and attention to detail. Bella is simply amazing; she works fast but also has attention to detail, ensuring she nails look beautiful.

Nat Rubin Before I sat down I asked the technician if my nails will last more than two weeks since I have a busy schedule and won’t be able to come for a new set earlier. She reassured me and said not to worry. It’s now 6 days later and 2-3 nails already lifting up. Waste of money.

Deb c Good vibes Lana the owner did an amazing job on my Russian jel manicure she’s very Meticulous. And a great listener. She will do your nails exactly how you want them.

Sara B Maria did an amazing job! It was my first visit and I’ll be back.

Marigolds I am so happy I found Elaines Nails. Id been looking for a nail studio that does gel design that wouldnt break the bank. The prices are so affordable and as long as you call ahead you never have a long wait. Every staff member that has done my nails is clearly very skilled and Elaine is a doll. Do yourself a favor and try them out!

Dariia Palamarchuk Elaine is absolutely amazing! She’s so talented and does an incredible job every time. Her French manicures are my absolute favorite—so clean, elegant, and perfect. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for stunning nails!

maria salazar Beautiful work, however when I simply asked a question to Elena she got very upset and yelled at me. I simply asked about a nail color I wanted to for my next set and she raised her voice and said “WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME BEFORE I STARTED PUTTING THE ACRYLIC” I guess she didn’t understand. However that is not how you treat a paying customer.

Joe Yee Liew I found this spot through Yelp and instantly booked an appointment with Elena after seeing her work. I showed her a picture of what I want, and she delivered. She is very attentive to detail and very skilled at what she does. My current set is pushing 5 weeks and none of the nails are lifting. That speaks volume. You essentially paying for the quality of work, worth every penny.

Valerie I went to DJ nails on Thursday and got the builder gel set done by an older lady who sits in the back. This set is $90 so it is a little expensive but builder gel is to strengthen your natural nails which is what I needed after constantly having acrylic nails, so I did not mind paying. Sadly by Saturday 2 of my nails had lifted and begun to crack. By Monday they had come off. I was disappointed so I called and they were willing to fix it. The guy who fixed my set, Mike was polite and helpful. He actually redid all my nails to ensure this would not happen again and even enhanced the color at no extra charge. He told me if any other problem happens to just come in again. I appreciate that and his customer service.

Jazmin reyes My go to whenever I do my nails, they last me MONTHS! I pay 100-120$ per set, because I ask for crazy Pinterest designs, but it’s worth it because they last me literally months. The staff is all respectful, careful, and very attentive. I’ve gotten my nails done by 3 workers and they all absolutely ate with my sets.

Jacqueline Rodriguez I have been coming here practically my whole life. These people are the best of the best! My nails always come out almost as pretty as I am. Hahaha! Every time I come they are always considering what might be the best option for and your nails. I always used to get SNS, but recently they convinced me try Builder Gel, and Im never going back!! My nails never break, and they last a long time, like a looonggg time. Their pricing has always been reasonable. I highly recommend coming here, you wont regret it, this is coming from a 10+ year customer.

CY I never like to get tips or any acrylic/sns powder because I feel like it never looks natural, it’s always too “thick”. I did the ombré set in the color “blush nude” (coffin shape) & let me just say ... it came out amazing! It looks super natural, will go with every skin tone, and match with anything you wear. It was $50 and worth every penny! Emma did my nails so quickly, I was in and out. Here’s the before and after .. I did this set the weekend before quarantine hit, and they lasted me a total of 8 weeks!!

Aisha H So happy with my nails!! Isabelle did a beautiful & detailed job! I got dip powder for the base and chrome on top. No weird bumps, very smooth and fine base! She also took her time to file the base down to perfection. I wasnt sure which chrome I wanted, and she tried on different options and was patient with me choosing. Just to note: chrome is pricey here with, an extra $20. Other than that, definitely would recommend!

Alison Valbuena I’ve been here a few times with different technicians. They all have done a wonderful job on my nails. They meticulously paint them and me sure you’re happy with the results. I’ve done regular manicures, spa pedicures, gel manicures and gel tips. I recommend this place! They give you a card so they can fix your nails for free within 7 days

Natalie Perez Absolutely terrible experience! I got a gel fill, and my nail broke the very next day. When I returned for a fix, a man added a tip that was significantly shorter than my other nails. I pointed this out several times, but he insisted it was fine. When I expressed my frustration, he laughed and continued painting my nails instead of addressing the issue. To top it off, the sides of my nails werent even painted properly. I’m really disappointed!
