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

Haydee Correa I used to go here for bikini waxes. One day I noticed a couple of the Asian men who work there standing inside the store. They disappeared after I asked for a wax. As I was looking up at the false ceiling, waiting to get my wax done, I saw one of the ceiling tiles diagonally across from where I was lying down being removed and one of the men I had previously seen outside of the store poked his head through the ceiling in an attempt to catch a glance of my lady parts! DISGUSTING! When I noticed him, I quickly got up and told the woman who was supposed to do my wax. She didnt understand or acted like she didnt. When the man saw I had noticed him, he quickly stuck his head back up into the ceiling and replaced the tile. Luckily, the lady had not started yet. I told her what I had observed. She acted like she didnt understand English. I left. I shouldve called the police. God knows how many times that peeping Tom has done that to unsuspecting female customers! DO NOT GO THERE FOR WAXES!!!

Christina Korfanta This has to be the worst nail salon Ive ever had the misfortune to encounter.... its filthy. None of the sterilizers are on. They keep their obviously unsterile tools in a dirty plasticplastic basket ..... get.worse..... they dont know what they are doing ... its like a fungus one stoo shop..... never go here!have no idto do pedicures.... no massage... shitty paint job. U

Jamie Lopez Ask for Anne! Shes the best! She is always on point! And they go the extra mile on the pedi even on the regular pedis on the extra $10.00 pedi OMGosh your feet look brand new, and they have massage chairs. You go anywhere else they dont massage your feet/legs just slap in some lotions on your feet and thats it. At AAA nails they go the extra mile on pedi, and your nails!

Marina Shrayman Love this place! All of the ladies are great but Fabby & Maya are exceptional, they both do an amazing manicure & pedicure. No matter how many people are waiting, they will always take their time with the current client and not rush through like other salons tend to do. My cuticles are awful and they grow like weeds, both ladies clean them up to perfection even though it probably takes an extra 5-10 minutes. The pedicure is my favorite, they use an AMAZING sugar scrub that feels delicious during the massage!! Walk-ins are welcome but I would suggest making an appointment. Thank you Magic Nail for always making my hands & feet look like a million bucks!

Berthaa Bee When I tell you dirty!!!! equipment I was just shocked . when I was getting a pedicure tool that she used on the lady. Too seat over All she did is wiped them down with water from the tub. she took those towels that she wiped the ladies feet with and she wiped down the seat with it cross. I was so scared never ever go back there. nothing was sanitized nothing. They honestly needed an inspector to go in there. I don’t know how these people stay open.

Cynthia Whiteside Service was good, the women were very friendly and my nail tech provided a great service.

Kerry Lee I came here a few times! Very quick and smooth experience and their service is good! I would say, only come to this place if your design is simple as I think the nail techs aren’t very skilled with intricate details but simple manicures are amazing here! Also great prices

Alisa Cheaper is not always better. I only went here twice. Both times I felt rushed. They don’t care about what you want and made my cuticles bleed both times. The first time they didnt let me pick my color. When I walked in, a woman asked me what color. Next thing you know I am sitting down and she put a bottle of polish on the table. I tried to stop her I asked, "What is this? I dont think I like it." She said lets try it. I didn’t like it and before I knew it one hand was already done. The next time I was looking at the colors and she grabbed my hand and started working. I couldnt keep looking. This is why I didnt like the color. Now my cuticles bled twice. After this I knew I shouldn’t come back.

karina hodan Never get a massage from them. I’m not the one to complain but I had to share this. I came in for a back massage. This lady kept hitting my head with her bracelets. Was rushing and massaging my bones instead of muscle. The next two days I was in pain and couldn’t turn my head. When I called to speak to a manager she refused to listen to me and told me to see a doctor. It’s a horrible customer service. I’m never going back.

Ashley Cheng Ive never gotten acrylic nails before, but I figured since Im about to go on my Bachelorette, I would give it a try. I was told by many different people who highly recommended this place, and I have to agree. I absolutely love my nails! They also did great for my pedicure, and I loved it, too. I was able to give the nail tech an image of what I wanted, and she copied it perfectly! I highly suggest this place!

Kelly Lau Don’t get a soak off here!!!! I asked for a soak off and I had gotten sat down with this lady that pulled out her METRO CARD and pryed off my nails one by one. I told her to stop cause it hurt too bad and I needed her to do a soak off where she then disappeared for 15 mins. Another lady came by and continued to pry my nails off the rest of my nails. I told her I wanted a soak off and she said no cause I only had a few more to take off. I didnt argue with her again since I assumed it would also save me the money of getting charged a soak off for a few nails. At the end, my nail beds were stripped down paper thin. When she gave me the bill, she charged me for soak off and told me “taking off is the same as soak off” which made no sense cause they used the metro card method to save time and money. I was so over it at this point I paid and left. Definitely not going back!!!

Alecia Clark I’ve been going here for years! Sammy is my favorite for my pedicures. She does an amazing job every single time. Thank you Sammy! ♥️

Christina Absolutely HORRIBLE!! The man rushed with my gel manicure. It was sloppy and now my nails are showing spots! Not even an hour later, not to mention going out of the lines with my red gel polish. I feel they’re not professionally trained. He took off my gel polish with the drill and hurt a few of my fingers with the drill. He didn’t even brush the table off after drilling my nails, so each of my hands were laying in the dirty dust on the table!! $30 I paid, never will I go back for their services! I even seen him wipe the tools he used on my hands with a white piece of paper towel, and put them back into the plastic blue bag!!! So yea, he didn’t sterilize them!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!!!!!! I’ll stick to Graffiti Nails! Much cleaner, friendlier, and take their time…

Elsa Mujaj So great! The young man up front pays such attention to detail, my nails look so smooth and perfect.

zhao li This place is Amazing. Their skill in doing nails is simply amazing. The owner Wendy she is so nice and helpful very good customer service. always make me feel comfortable

María C. I went there on Friday as a new client, and they did my manicure and pedicure so quickly. After 7 hours, the nail color started to oxidize, making it turn black, and then chipping started. I will not be going back to that salon at all.

Jennifer Langell This review is a couple weeks late but still important. I have been searching all over Staten Island for a new nail salon because no one does a proper gel manicure anymore. I tried this place. Honestly I don’t think I’ve had a WORSE experience so far. Upon entering, I wasn’t even given the opportunity to have the manicure with the woman I specifically made the appointment with and told to go sit at the first station that opened up. The manicure lasted 18 minutes. I times it. Never in my life! I was beyond disgusted. The filing job was horrendous. I had to keep making her fix the filling, which I don’t like to do. It started to chip a few days later. NEVER AGAIN! DO NOT GO HERE!

Sara Rehart I would go back because my tech did a nice job with my nails and the spot is clean and spacious. My only caveat, which happens with all the Asian-owned salons, is they are not out right with their pricing and rush you along. When I was getting rung out, she said she would have to charge me tax for using a card, fine, but she failed to mention the service charge of $2. Also, a new acrylic set is posted as $35 but she failed to mention the $10 uncharge of using gel polish and just went ahead with it. Just be honest and clear re: pricing, you do a good job, and customers will come back.

Michelle Antoinette My usual nail salon was closed for the 4th of July but I learned Rose Nail was open and decided to give it a try. Exceptional service and staff.The salon was very clean and they did a fantastic job on my nails! My nail tech took her time and was meticulous and gentle. Ive officially switched nail salons!

Mariam Ibrahim I’m so disappointed, this is what my nails in literally less than 10 days, absolutely awful. This was my first time there too. There is a whole nail that has the gel manicure about to be removed, my gel manicure usually lasts a good few weeks. Also, my cuticles were really badly bruised for like the first 5 days. Absolutely awful and I was hoping to come back again but I won’t be. I can’t believe I paid $80 for this.

Harriet Wow Horrible. Maybe cause I am new to this location but that’s not how you make business if you don’t make customers nails nice and beautiful. I literally had the easiest thing for the lady to do. She was probably the owner since she didn’t have apron on. But it’s gel manicure and regular pedi. My nails on my hand looks so ugly. I am never going back and I wanted to give this location a shot but guess what. I am going somewhere else. And someone even recommended me this location. Would never go back and I hope no one ever goes back to them

RoseMarie Angeles I love coming to this salon!! I also bring my handicapped elderly mother when I go and they always take care of her . And Angie who does my nails is awesome !! I show her a picture of a nail design and she mimics it perfectly on my nails !!!

Leanne Belgiorno I’ve been coming here since 2020 and it’s the best salon in the area. Bonus: they are currently open on MONDAYS! I consistently leave with amazing nails that are exactly what I asked for. This time Angela spent time perfecting my ombre nails with chrome, while giving me tips and pointers along the way about what she felt was best for my nails. She also did them in a timely manner. Love this place.

Alex Kuzma Very good experience with this salon! And a specially with Lucero. I do my SNS nails for the past 7 years, and she is the best nail specialist. My nails last 4 weeks with no cracks. 100% recommended. Updated 07-27-24 Unfortunately, I changed my reviews to 3 starts. This salon is under a new management and my nail tech, Lusero, left the place. Tried someone else and was not satisfied. My white color SNS powder turned yellow in 5 days. Didn’t cracked, but looked so fake. Three stars because of pedicure, it was done ok. Looking again for a new place. ☹️

Rebecca O This place is under new management, figured I give them a try again. I was referred by a good friend she got her nails done by Bobby they look great. I needed a pedicure and Bobby was wasn’t there but, I received a spa pedicure from them for 55 dollars. Not including tip. It didn’t include gel polish or removal of the previous gel pedicure. In the end my feet was not smooth and my toes looked better before I got there. Also, they charge $10 dollars to soak off dip powder or acrylic tips or $5 dollars to have them roughly take it off your fingers. I can understand there’s a charge, but the process to soak off or take off was not much different then what I experience in the past. They still roughly use a mechanical file just with acetone, which they don’t even allow adequate time for a proper removal. I will not be going there again. I do not recommend. I understand why they are never busy. The service, the ambience or quality of work does not match the price board. Also, trying to get a relaxing spa pedicure there with a gym upstairs is not relaxing. You can hear them slam weights constantly that also a reason why I gave this place a 1 star. Because, no!

Jenifer Cortes Staff takes their time and do a good job on pedicures. Its a clean place and the staff makes sure they are cleaning their tools and using new products so there is no cross contamination. Linda always does a great job on my toes

Olawumi Ojedapo-Willoughby A coworker recommended this place for my nails and Im quite pleased. They are very clean and appointments are HIGHLY recommended.

A R I was recommended to go to Hana nails by a good friend of mine who regularly goes to joy. Upon my arrival to the salon I was seated 20 mins after my appointment time with a different woman who wasnt joy, They didn’t ask me or tell me if this was ok, they just sat me down with her and I’m thinking that this is Joy. I don’t know the woman’s name who did my nails but all I know is I will never return it was the worst gel manicure I’ve ever gotten in my life and I’ve been doing my nails for about eight years. Not only was she rude she kept answering her phone every five minutes she filed down my nails so much that my cuticles were raw, and what normally takes me two hours took 1. I left that Salon with crooked nails. It was so bad to the point where I did an about face when I left & asked them to redo these because I couldn’t leave the salon with the way my nails looked, They sent me back with the same girl who messed up my nails and she made them even more crooked than the first time. They charged me $85 and all they could tell me was they were sorry, they even called my cellphone to apologize again. But they still kept my money!! Now a week later my nail broke if I’m paying $85 for my nails they should last more than a week. I will never return to this establishment and I will never recommend this place to anybody, everybody should avoid this place by all means.

Aneta Bernard They did not even touch my cuticles. I had to do them at home myself. The layer of a nail polish was so thick it chipped off 2 days after the service. Today, 2 days before Christmas instead of cooking and packing presents I have to redo my nails.

Seclusive Corn I’ve been going to Hannah Nails for about 6 months and have nothing but good things to say about them. Lucy does an amazing pedicure and Ci-Ci is amazing as well!!

Judy Nardiello i have been going here since 2010, I love this place. relaxing, never hurried. Great nail techs. very reasonably priced services. cant say enough good things about this place. treat yourself to a spa pedicure!!

Korrect Pat I feel like every time I come in they repeat themselves about three times when I ask for gel nail polish . Additionally they continue to repeat the prices. I feel like when a new person of color walks in for service they are treated differently. It honestly makes me feel uncomfortable. I only tried this place out because it isn’t far from my job. However going to get pampered her isn’t it .

Jaclyn Lavoro Every one at this place is great! They do their best to keep you from waiting but they do honor appointments. They have a big color selection for both gel and regular polish. They have many options of spa pedicures to choose from also. I have recently moved and still come to this salon for my gel manicures.

B Elizabeth “Liz” Went to Emily as a friend recommended her and she did not disappoint she reshaped and polished my nails. She listened to what design I wanted and achieved it. She also was able to squeeze me in the day I called. Would recommend this salon they do a great job.

Bujare Ibroci I have nothing but good things to say. The staff is amazing, I love having my nails done by Ema, she always gets the design just right. They are super accomodation with the appointments. The atmosphere overall is chill. I really love this place.

M B Got my nails done here with my husband and also massages. They did such an awesome job ! Whenever i come to visit i will only be coming here !

Nirel Escalante Came here for a manicure and pedicure. The pedicure was good all though to my disappointment the massage chair didnt work and didnt recline, so I was a little uncomfortable. The lady who did my manicure seemed all over the place and was not focused on my nails. She was talking on her personal cell phone at least 3 times as well while she was doing my nails. She seemed very frustrated because she messed up 3 of my nails for rushing and not giving enough time for them to dry before massaging my hands. She kept muttering under her breath and it was very obvious that she just wanted to get it over with. When everything was done, she said jokingly "next time do gel instead, powder too hard" (i did sns powder). Looking at the finished product, it came out decent even though several of my nails are messed up (scratches and dents) I could rant on about so many other things (She was not careful with filing my nails, wasnt always paying attention to what she was doing, unorganized, and kept taking breaks from me to do other things like cashier, answering phones and including her cellphone). She ended up rushing more towards the end because she had a client who was here for her and was not done with me yet. Everything in total was 55 for a pedicure and sns manicure which did not seem worth it honestly. Im sure that this place isnt bad however if i ever do come back i will make sure to avoid that lady.

Amanda Briggs I go to Nail and Spa story exclusively for Michelle. She always does an amazing job no matter what inspo I show her. My nails last for weeks no chipping or breaking. I get a gel set.

jee ra I walked in and had color gel. I loved my nails done by Mireya. All staff are kind and welcoming. Very clean and great ambience. Ceci, the owner of the salon, knows very well what everyone needs and caters with great care.

Nicole Link Pedicure was great. The place is very clean However, I got UV gel fill ins yesterday and she Didn’t go to the cuticle so my nails already look grown out I’ll be lucky if I even get two weeks out of this. Which is very disappointing for $60 just for my fingernails

Sunnie Hn Went to this Salon for a Brazilian wax, which includes all genital area! (mentioned on google too), picture attached. I also request for half upper legs...as mentioned on their website, pics attached, I should have been charged $90.00. However, once I went to pay. I was told that the butt area was not included in the Brazilian wax and my hair was too much (loudly infront of all other clients; which it wasnt) so they charged me more! Making my total $150.00 plus tip. I tried to reason with them but the lady incharge wasnt bothered when i asked her what in paying another $60.00 for? Do not recommend at all...

Mona Awad I finally gave in to the nail craze after a 15 year ( at the very least) hiatus. This salon is a 3 minute walk from home so I said hey, Why not? Well. I went on a Sunday an hour before closing after debating it for hours. I dealt with Lily, but I was greeted warmly by all. Lily was quick, precise, and attentive to my requests. I showed her a picture and she gave me exactly that. I did a classic coffin nail set and I’m OBSESSED! One day later I broke a nail (not what you’re thinking- it was admittedly my fault completely) I walked right over for the repair. She noticed a few self inflicted blemishes (cutting salad and accidentally cutting the corners of my nails with the knife) and filed them down and repainted them. When it came time to pay she laughed at me and said no charge. But if you break one more we charge next time lol. It’s the little things, ya know? I was super Pleased with the service and warmth. 10 out of 10. Worth every penny

Sarah Sebastiano if i could give no stars i would. i’ve been coming to blooming nails for quite a while now. I came in and got a spa pedicure (which felt very rushed and not relaxing at all) as well as a fill in on my acrylics. it has only been a week and 5 nails have already popped off and 2 of them damaged my natural nails ripping part of my natural nail off. The gel polish was also completely chipped on my toes. My thumb has absolutely no polish on it what so ever, the gel completely peeled off. The lady who did my nails completely rushed the whole process and did not allow my nails to dry long enough. it was a very poor job. I called and explained the situation to let them know that because of your worker my natural nail is now very much damaged and in pain because again i’m missing part of my natural nail. I asked for a refund or even a store credit they wouldn’t even give me that. So i spent over $100 just for my nails to come off within a week, have my natural nails damaged? no. They most definitely do not stand behind their work. Don’t even waste your time coming here.

Mel B Loved Annie . She was so good to recommend the nails that would best work for me and look cute , she is very knowledgeable about what is best for real nail underneath fake nails. I truly appreciate her help :)

Eli & Kerissa Tabona The best!! Leah is my gal, I wont let anyone else touch my nails. Always perfectly shaped and she cam do ANY and every design I find off pinterest !!! Really gives you the VIRAL nail look!!! Worth every single cent !

JoyOfMyLife I routinely get my nails done here and I always love the results! My most recent visit I got my nails done based on a design I found on Pinterest to match my outfits I was wearing to an upcoming convention and she did a great job replicating the design!

Quianya Evans Mia and Alice are so sweet ! They both did a wonderful job with my pedicure and manicure!! Finally found a nail salon I want to come back to on Staten Island ! Love these ladies

Racquel Alston Frankie and Linda were excellent! Linda did my pedicure and Frankie did my gel manicure & nail art. Both were professional, quick, and took care of my nails. I will be going back again.
