SUSAN CLERMONT Yesterday I went back to re- try DL but what an absolute disappointment again. The gentleman who applied my ANC was so distracted on the phone and terrible workmanship. Clumps water spots and dust stuck in the wet top coat I will now never go again. This is awful I now need to go to a reputable place to have these nails fixed (pictures do not really pick up imperfections but honestly just awful)

tifkinsify DL Nail Bar will be the only place I go for all of my nail needs from here on out. I have been trying to find a nail salon that is clean, reasonably priced, with friendly and knowledgeable staff for the past year. I don’t have to search any longer! The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the cleanliness and brightness of the interior. There were multiple sterilizing machines visible and not a speck of trash or debris in sight. The prices were listed in brochures available on the counter, as well as posted on a large sign on the wall. They have a handy iPad available to check in if you booked an appointment, but they also accept walk-ins as the schedule allows. The website is well laid out and makes booking a breeze! There was a large TV that was easily visible from anywhere in the salon, and I was offered a chilled water bottle as I was seated. The polish color selection was very inclusive, they even had color changing options! The pedicure seats double as massage chairs which is a lovely treat. Hung greeted me when I walked in and helped me choose the service best suited to my needs. I choose the Deluxe Pedicure package with callus removal and gel polish. The pedicure cost $45, the callus removal cost $5, and the gel polish cost $10 which I found to be very affordable. Hung talked me through the entire process and explained what he was doing as he did it, always checking in with me to gauge my comfort level. The cuticle care and callus removal Hung performed was top tier! I even had a few old popped blisters he was able to make practically disappear. I was NEVER in pain which is a huuuuge deal to me, because I have spent a year getting torn up and bloody from other techs. The pedicure lasted about an hour, and they even offered a discount for paying cash. My feet and toes were ROUGH going in and look completely transformed! I highly recommend this nail salon for anyone who wants a knowledgeable and gentle nail tech with excellent and affordable service!

Manaswi N Me and my sister visited Salon 109 for the first time, and I couldn’t be more impressed! Jan worked her magic with our haircut’s—she clearly knows her craft. I love that the salon is open on weekends, making it so convenient to schedule an appointment. The entire experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be returning. Highly recommend!

Nicole Diaz This is way overdue, but Jan did an excellent job with my hair for my 11.14.21 wedding! I originally did a trial with another stylist who ended up leaving before my wedding date and I live a few hours away, so I wasnt able to do another trial with her before the day came. However, she managed bring my vision to life (and my wedding party as well) and I was so happy with how it turned out. Highly recommend!

Patricia I came in to get gel polish for a simple service on my natural nails, but they applied builder gel without asking me first. I was then charged $78 for something I never asked for, and with tip the total was 95$ completely unreasonable. The pricing disappointment me, will not go back.

Amour Castillo I have been to this nail salon twice and I live in New York City — it is one of the best nail salons I have ever been to. I truly recommend Ivy (my manicurist) and they do gel X extension removal and UV gel extensions. AMAZING PRICES AND ARTWORK. Thanks so much to this team! I even had to do a zoom meeting in the middle of my appointment and they allowed me to do it in the salon :)

Vivian Nicastro First time with hard gel - and first time at LR Nail - and a wonderful experience. They accommodated me as a walk in during a busy Sunday and were very attentive. It seemed that they actually cared about not damaging my natural nail, a quality that had been difficult to find. My nails turned out beautiful and are still looking great after a month!
5 /5
Destiny Marie First time getting my nails done since high school and wasn’t very versed on all the different types of manicures. They mostly push you toward getting hard gel nails. Whenever I asked questions on other types of manicures they didn’t have much info. So, that being said I did get hard gel nails with tips. My tech was Eva who did a great job!!! Took about 1.5hrs and was $85. $80 for the hard gel with design but $65 if you opt out of designs. $5 extra if you’d like coffin or almond shape otherwise you can choose square or round without the additional charge. Hope this helps some of you! I’ll try to give an update on how long they last and nail health after removal (:

She is super nice, friendly, and is great at cutting all kinds of hair, including curly. If you come here to get a haircut, I would 100% recommend getting it done with her.

Mary Moloney Had a wonderful relaxation pedicure with Gem this morning and it was great. She is very sweet and did a wonderful job. I just booked for October. She really cares about her clients and making sure the outcome is beautiful and they are happy. Im looking forward to my next pedicure with her. Her name is very appropriate, as she is truly a "Gem". I was looking for a new great nail person in this area (spas, hair salons, etc.), but the search was not going well until this morning. Finally!

Horse Lover I haven’t been pleased with my last 3 hair cuts. Their styling products have changed dramatically over the years and although I love the idea of all natural products they just don’t seem to do the job as well. One line I loved was the Rene Furterer, that they no longer carry. I’ve been coming to this salon with family and friends for well over 20 years. However, the cost and less than master stylists doing my hair and in effective products, I’m afraid I won’t be able to recommend or return for another hair cuts/style.

Jennifer Morwin I wasnt aware that Anias offered spa services until my friends daughter joined the team as a hair stylist. I tried my first service with Jillian over a year ago and have been going there regularly since. Prior I had been going to some of the better known spas locally, however the services offered, quality of the services and knowledge Jillian shares far exceed what I received anywhere else. She has a passion for what she does and it shows!

Latae Davis Definitely a great business with great customer service. I’ve been here about ten times and each experience has been pleasant and positive . I always get a full set of acrylics, a pedicure and and an eye brow wax and they always come out amazing. Tonight’s experience was especially pleasant as I came in a little later then usual and they were able to have two people complete my services at once and they never made me feel rushed and made sure I was satisfied during the whole process. I definitely recommend them to anyone who values high quality work and good customer service.
5 /5
Cher Freda Really disappointed. I made an appointment with Nina but when I walked in no one checked my appointment and I didn’t get Nina. I was called over to someone I assumed was Nina because it was my first time there. I asked for a square medium set and I knew things were going downhill when she cut my nails into a coffin shape. I didn’t want to be annoying my first time there and have her take my tips off so I dealt with it.while this was happening a women goes to grab their appointment book and calls me in the chair. This was Nina who my appointment was supposed to be with. She hung up the phone and said nothing. Didn’t even mention that my appointment was to be with her. I even asked if she called me and she just said yea. I noticed it was Nina when another client came in and called her by name. The other woman did my nails and all in all they came out okay, but when I went to pay it was $95. She charged me $35 for my design and $5 for the shape I did not ask for. I have never paid more than $30 for my design even when it is more intricate than this unless I have gems or 3d art. Which is worth the extra cost. She didn’t even give me a second coat of polish. I called her on it and she didn’t say she would remove the charge for the shape I didn’t ask for. She just looked at me and held her hand out for my card. I have no problem paying for my service based on what I asked for, and I would’ve tipped her $20 because I used to work in the service industry and I always tip that much, and even with all of this, I still tipped her $15 for work that in my opinion wasn’t worth the cost. Especially since my pinky nail is literally sticking straight up with my hands flat. No idea that was even possible. I want to come back and get my nails actually done by Nina because I was referred to her, but this left a sour taste in my mouth. Edit:I will literally never come here again. After 4 days 6 of my nails lifted. For $95…you’ve got to be joking. Avoid at all costs.

Erin Louise Crimmel I’m SUPER picky when it comes to my nails & I’ve finally found my new go to salon! Nina is a master at her craft & her UV Hard Gel technique is flawless!! 3 weeks & not a single lift, chip, or crack. Can’t wait for my next set!
5 /5
Samantha Diehl The environment appears clean and all. I mentioned it to the person doing my nails that last time my nails were really slanted and I didn’t want them to do that again and I got a really confused response back. They clipped my nail all the way down to the bed then at the end my nails are literally pointing straight up/back away from my finger. Overall probably will not return.

Hannah Brought my mom to get our nails done for a late Christmas gift and had a great experience! The owner Leo did both of our nails and was great! He made sure we were both comfortable and liked our nails as he was going. The salon itself was very clean and the other staff was also great! Little to no wait, we made an appointment ahead of time but they do accept walk ins! While we were there they had multiple people walk in and they got them in chairs and started working on them quickly! I ended up messing up a nail when transferring to the pedicure station and when Leo noticed he immediately fixed it with no hesitation saying he wasn’t letting us leave with less than perfect nails! Overall, great experience and we will be back! Thanks again Leo!!

Jessica Ive been going here since I moved to Troy andtheyre definitely the most consistent and theyre very nice! The owner Leo cracks me up and doesnt make me feel uncomfortable. I usually do not like getting my nails done by a man but I do like him!!! His wife whose name I cannot remember also does a phenomenal job with shaping and designs, she is a little shyer but she is very kind. The wait time can be long as they are a ma and pa business and its usually just Leo and his wife, but if you call ahead youll usually get a seen pretty quickly

Dasey Taylor Best nail salon experience I’ve had in a very long while. The staff are kind and extremely patient. They want to make sure you’re satisfied at every moment by asking questions and constantly checking in.. I say, trust the process. They will NOT disappoint you. They know what they are doing and it’s CLEAN work. No bumps or bubbles. My friend and I walked-in and they squeezed us into their schedule. Who would do that? First time here & not the last. Thank you so much!

Less than 3 days later my nail polish were coming off like a sticker. I will not be returning.

Emily Cruz I’ve had my nails done twice with ANC and tips and I’m never coming back. The first time they were just ok but I just thought it was Bc they were busy. They came off no problem. The second time?? It’s been 5 weeks and they’re still on (3 fell off) and it seems like they’ll never come off. They’re overgrown so I had to finally cut them w scissors and file them down. one nail is so loose but stuck to one part of my nail so whenever I hit it, it bleeds and my whole finger is swollen. I just want them to come off at this point- they hurt so bad its like they used superglue or something. Update: the nail glue was stuck to my skin... Probably Bc they rush the process so much. Not cool.

Ashley shaik I made an appointment, i ended up being seen 30 minutes later due to people not showing up on time to their own appointment- I was pushed to be later than expected. Nan was the one who did my nails, she seemed nice but she was busy doing 3 other things while she was doing my gel acrylic fill. (She was answering calls, doing waxes and putting people in for appointments). I know she has a business to own and run but I’m also a customer, who felt as if I was put on the back burner. I’m sitting in your chair, I should be a priority. My nails looked horrible when I walked out, she didn’t ask if the color was the right one when she used it on my nails, she didn’t do any care to my cuticle or dead skin around my nail, the gel wasn’t cleaned up after. The gel polish was under my nails and looks completely unprofessional. I choose a lavender color with confidence and now I regret it. She didn’t check to see if the size of the nails were the same size on each hand, she didn’t even change buffing blocks or filing sticks from what I saw, you can tell it was used by another customer. I’m just at a loss, I keep going place to place in hopes I’ll find a good nail salon and it looks like I’ve given up. This place won’t have my business again.

I ended up speaking with the owner and he had me send over the design that I wanted. He sent me color samples and had my technician create mock up nails ahead of time. This was above and beyond. My nail technician, Alicia, did exactly what I wanted. Everyone in the salon was friendly. Very clean and organized. Will definitely go back!

ASA Upoma Very Bad service and really disappointed with their professionalism! Firstly they kept me waiting for 20min in spite of booking my appointment earlier. No value of time given. Secondly the service provider was in a hurry to do everything and was very rough with my hands. It caused cuts in my nail cuticles which were very painful and burning for the next 2 days!! I couldn’t even eat food with my hands cz it would cause burning!! Unbelievable! I have done manicure in hundred times in other places but none of them caused this!! Never doing manicure here again! Also just replying to your response since I cannot reply back- you won’t be able to find my with my acronyms. My name is Anika and I took the service last Wednesday. So if you have anything to say, you can call be back, thank you.

Lelia Walcott The owner expressed to me “I don’t need your money I have plenty of clients” in response to her CHEMICALLY IRRITATING MY SCALP! By using products she did not use in our normal routine to get my hair done faster. For context the 2nd to last time I was in the salon was from 11am-9pm because the owner was busy with other clients though I had an appointment for my regular color fill. I was patient and worked with her at the time. This last time I went I assumed she wanted to speed the process up. This last time - February 20th, 2025 she used way more product and left it in my hair for longer as well as dying my eyebrows. I current have way lighter eyebrows with barely any hair at the end as she left it on my brows for 30 mins plus as oppose to 8-10 mins and then SHE BLAMED ME the paying client for not telling her the professional…. Making it seem like this was all my fault. She used multiple red lamps that produced heat after the products to dye my hair was in my head (which was also different than last time) which I believe contributed to its irritation! A few days went by and yesterday February 25, 2025 I requested her in person to give me my money back as my hair was 2 different colors because my roots lifted way too high, I did not get what I asked for, she chemically irritated my scalp and I still cannot brush my hair because my head is so tight and dry. Durning the process she saw my head was raw and red and did nothing but continued to pull and rub the product in. She told me that day I was paying for the “service” of what she did. Because it was neglectful, painful, and not what I asked for I believed I had every right to request my money back. Mainly I do not take disrespect lightly and her comments of dodging blame I was very sick of. She did give me back my money (which she should not have charged me for then) but she was unapologetic, rude, and told me again it was my fault for only coming to her salon when I need to fill in my roots as if that had anything to do with my scalp being hurt by her. I went to the doctor and my scalp is going to take a while to heal because of this incident. It’s okay to mess up but to not take responsibility and mistreat a client is disgusting. My head was burning as she kept rubbing this in and I wasn’t even offered a tissue or “I’m sorry”. I have done this process with her multiple times and never thought she would respond so poorly. Turns out one of her workers expressed to me the 2nd to last time I was there the owner was upset about me for a week because my fill was more than 2 inches. I don’t care if Ithe root fill was down to my neck regardless I’m paying you for a service and I’ve been nothing but kind. Even tipping her for staying past her hours which AGAIN NOT MY FAULT….When things aren’t done right you need to be called out on it. This was not my fault and I am very disappointed with her failure to be a decent human being to a “client” she “cares about”. Same way you don’t need my money I don’t need your business. ✋ Attached is a picture of what my hair looked like when my scalped “calmed down” and this was hours after I left her salon so you can only image how bad it truly was. She never asked that day I asked for my money back “how are you doing?” Or followed up like a decent human would after such a traumatic experience …which speaks to her true character. Never again.

brenda santana I get my hair straighten 1-2 times a year and every time I go to Jacquelines she does a fantastic job and since I’m a natural hair girlie I love that my curls are always there after I wash my hair! 10/10 experience they are very sweet and outgoing.

Tee JustTee If I could give 0 star, I would. I went to this shop in October 2023 for a black dye and a trim on my natural curly kinky hair. I left with a dye, trim, and stinky overprocessed hair. Three weeks later, I called Jackie up and informed her that my hair was not reverting back to its natural state, and I believed she gave me heat damaged. She insisted that it wasnt. She stated that my hair texture would not revert. I told her thats the definition of heat damaged. Now its 2months later, and I went to get a consult elsewhere, and found out that she put a chemical in my hair(that is why it still stinks) and she did not do the second step, which is why my hair breaks right off by just touching it. To make matters worse, she refused to admit that she damaged my hair. If you have 4C type hair, here is your warning, do not go to this salon if you want to keep your hair on your head. Learn from my unfortunate situation. Update: It is now May 2024. All my hair fell out, so I cut it all off. Thank you, Jackie, for showing me what greedy looks like. Count your blessing because I can still sue you for all the damage youve done. Youre evil and greedy, and God doesnt like ugly.

Kai Wynter Went here about a year ago. I have type 4 hair. My blow out and cut was perfect but what is in that $10 treatment? My curls were looser after the wash and now that my hair has been growing out for a year I can see the difference in the two textures… I just feel like if you’re going to tell me to get a $10 treatment to loosen my curls that should’ve been very explicit. When I washed my hair two weeks after the blow out, my hair was straight for about 3 months….

Amun Ra I took my 6-year-old daughter to Jacquelines Dominican Style Beauty Salon for a wash, ends cut, and straightening, and we had a fantastic experience! I was initially nervous about letting someone cut her hair, but the staff was incredibly friendly and kind. They were gentle with my daughter, who is a bit tender-headed, which made her feel comfortable. The result was beautiful—my daughter left happy and received so many compliments at school! I highly recommend this salon for their excellent service and caring approach.

Addi Girl My daughter had a vision of what she wanted in nail design… the techs made it happen for her. They were patient and kind.

Grace Smith Vivi nails consistently does a great job. I have used many different nail techs and have been happy with each of them. Plus, prices are reasonable and they offer small coupons for using cash. I just got a beautiful French manicure and felt compelled to finally write a review after going here for a year.

Olivia Robinson I had an appointment made with the owner for 10am, she showed up at 1045. I ended up leaving with cuts and blood around two of my fingers and within two days the hard gel she layered on cracked into pieces. I’ve been getting hard gel for years, I’ve never had a worse experience. Will not recommend this salon to anyone.

Angelena Louban I got my nails done for the first time at this salon. When I called I was easily able to make an appointment for the same day. When I arrived, I was greeted by Cindy who was the nail tech who did my manicure. Cindy was extremely gentle with my nails, which is something I really appreciated. Cindy was very nice, asking if I liked the length, shape, and color before proceeding with the rest of my nails. Price was very fair. I was even given a small gift for the holidays! I will absolutely recommend this salon to anyone, and I will definitely be returning to future appointments. Thank you Cindy & staff!!

Suma Achanta This is my 3rd visit here on wednesday @18th september 2024 around 4pm. 1st time was mediocre then i decided to give it one more try 2nd time was awesome actually. These two time i just got basic pedicure nothing fancy but 3rd time i took my chance and i got lavender pedicure. Idk if the lady who did mine is trainee or they lack interest my callus is barely removed barely soaked barely lavender oil is applied. Not going back.

Karyn Rees I am very impressed with the staff and their attention to customers needs. I got a pedicure with callus removal and Jack did an excellent job. I then got a regular manicure but was in a time crunch. So Leo took over and really did a great job in a short time. They were all friendly and the place had a good vibe!

Gayathri N I came here last minute because the previous nail salon I had scheduled at was not able to take me in (I was 15 min late to the appt- my fault totally.) I wanted to get my nails done before the work week started and as it was a Saturday and a lot of salons close on Sunday I was sort of desperate. I called Sally’s and they were able to get me in on the same day within an hour!! I asked for a dip powder mani and a spa pedicure and they were able to accommodate me with no problems. Upon arriving at my appointment I was promptly greeted and seated and Cindy was the nail tech that did my manicure. She worked quickly but efficiently and made sure I liked how everything looked and double checked everything as she went. She also gave me a free shoulder massage which was amazing! May did my pedicure and I was very happy to see that they had many options to choose from (they gave me a sheet to pick from). I chose the hot stone pedicure and May did a very thorough job and was receptive to my feedback (at one point the stones were a bit too hot for me and she adjusted accordingly). She took the time to make sure I was relaxed. I also loved that there wasn’t a lot of side commentary or snide remarks about the customers which I have seen at some salons in the past (Colorful Nails in Albany as an example). If you want to just relax and close your eyes they leave you alone and don’t try and force conversation, which I appreciated. This was a wonderful find and I’m so happy to have ended up here. I will be a regular here and I’m sort of glad I wasn’t able to make my appt at the previous place (Gratitude Nails) because the people here are so much nicer!!

Kobina H The first time that I went here, Michael waxed my eyebrows so perfectly. They were thick and beautiful. The next time, he thinned them out . I think it was because I unintentionally raised my voice at the guy who was trying to ask if I wanted to go to someone else since the person I wanted was with another person. Maybe he was upset since my eyebrows are also uneven So sad because I loved this place. I dont like thin eyebrows. It seems to be a thing here judging from the other comments.

Samantha Hoff My favorite nail place around ! I have gotten gel manicures at a bunch of places and they always last the longest for me from Miracle, and they have a ton of options.

Jaiden Magill I hate my nails. I am telling you please never go. I have been a few times and never had them this terrible. My nails are so thick and ugly. I’ve never been so upset by how terrible my nails turned out until now. My lady did my nails last time and they turned out fantastic and today she sucked. They weren’t filed down to a good thickness at all and I wish I could get my money back. I got “coffin” shape and they are more square than coffin. Meant to be for Valentine’s Day but I am embarrassed to walk around with them. Not too bad from the front but bad at every other angle

Janet Patrizio I love this place! They operate very efficiently. Mani - Pedi - lashes Etc all in one place if you like . Anna and her husband have great employees- Nicky gives the best foot massage! So glad this spa is near me.
