List Best 21 Nail Salons in Rochester, NY (Part 3)

Nubia McFadden Theyre always so friendly and down to earth. Love the fact that theyre first come first serve also seeing that so many nail salons are requiring you to schedule an appointment ahead of time. Theyre also doing lip waxing too which made me REALLY happy bc almost no one is doing lip waxing at this time.

Rita Ghimirey They were so great! Judy did my nails and they turned out soooo amazing, she is so talented!

Candace D I really love getting my nails done here. I’ve been going on and off for over 5 years. I have natural nails and typically get gel manicures. I appreciate the time they take to trim my cuticles and the focus on my nail beds. The staff here is so kind and so friendly. I enjoy the pedicure too. It’s by appointment only so call ahead!!

Elaina Chen This place was recommended by a friend. I came here to get a french tip pedicure, which I usually do myself but cant anymore because of my pregnant belly getting in the way. Nice staff, great massage chairs for pedicure, and nice hot stone massage included in the pedicure. I wasnt able to get my pedicurist to get the right temperature of the water (first it was too hot, then I asked for it to be a little cooler and she made it too cold, then I said it was too cold and she acknowledged me but didnt change the temperature, then I said it again and she pretty much ignored me.), and I also couldnt get her to trim my nails shorter, and I couldnt really get her to straighten or shorten the width of the French tip... not sure if this was just a language barrier thing or not. The French tips were also kind of uneven and I could do a much better job if I could reach my feet (picture shown, pls excuse my swollen sausage toes). Also I listed the prices in another photo, all of which are quite competitive. If I were to come here again I would probably just do a solid color next time. French tip is too variable at pretty much every place Ive been!

Linsay Zorrilla So nice, professional, and fast!!! And whoever did my baby’s nails was so sweet!

Roxann Richards I used to go to Lily Nails Art occasionally because they were affordable. However, I started going less and less due to their limited options for dipping powder and lack of quality. I was surprised by the decline in quality because I had never experienced this before. I requested a dipping powder manicure, as it had always lasted for me, but this time it started falling apart in less than a week. Usually, it should last for three or four weeks. I have my receipt to prove that I was there on August 17th. In addition to the manicure, I also had a regular pedicure (I usually get gel pedicures but wanted to give my toenails a break). The worker kept telling me that it would take a while for my nails to dry, which I understood. However, I later realized that she hadnt added the top coat. I had to add it myself at home. Whats more, the menu did not mention a "loyalty program." When the worker asked me if I had been there before, and I said no, she increased the price from $39 to $44. If I go back next time, the price would apparently go back to $39. I was hesitant to leave a negative review because I had been a customer for a while, but the decline in quality compelled me to do so. I believe the reviews should reflect the declining quality of their services.

Alyssa Andrews I am so happy with my Christmas nails done by the amazing Amy! She captured exactly what I was going for when I showed her my inspo pic. She pays extreme attention to detail and always does a wonderful job on my nails. I hope she never leaves Art Nails!

Ellie Perrin Everyone here is so nice and they do beautiful work. Ellie does my nails and always knows how to match the color or do some obscure design I find on pinterest. She is always up for the challenge and gets my nails looking perfect and exactly how I like them. Its hard to find places that do the poly gel manicure I like and its a great atmosphere

shylisa cattling I went to antuans for a manicure. The customer service was great but the mail job was horrible. I paid $45 and had to come back because my right hand nails had begin to crack in two days. The redid my right hand but that lasted for three days and the left hand followed. Everything was good but the paint job. I will not recommend them for nail service.

Khadija Gazali Worse service I’ve received! Would not recommend coming to this salon! They don’t ask you want you want and once u show them they do the opposite. They literally painted my toes a whole different color to what I’ve asked for and my nails a whole different style that I’ve asked for. Very disappointed!! Noticed when I got home that they even forgot to do my Pinky toe! When I came back they charged me an extra $20 to fix my toes and made me wait 4 hours to fix my thick and wide nails that they did! Don’t even get no pedicures or anything here either, when you get the pedi you have to ask them to put lotion on you cuz they will not!

Chantal Omg my nails are gorgeous!!! And the price was perfect. Just $65 for them. Down the street they charged $120. The techs are friendly and funny. My new nail spot for sure!!!!

M.G. Not sure how they are still open! Its pretty dirty in there and Im not sure how anyone could actually get a Service. I went to get my gel nails off as a last minute thing. Where Id normally go was short on staff. This place needs to be shut down due to the filthy environment and unsanitary used towels and manicure equipment that is not being sanitized.

Erica Michelle Very good prices very good customer service literally all you have to do is show them a picture of the nail design that you want and they’ll do it. Love my eyebrows. Make sure you go there early or make an appointment because it be packed. Oh yeah , try them out you’re gonna love it. Full set starts at $40 and up eyebrows $10 cash only and you have to get a number

Nerpa Derpa I leave this 1-star review to inform, not to judge. My nail experience was fine; the people were kind and my pedicure looks great. However, when I was placed in the nail drying station, I couldn’t help but notice the conditions the turtle’s above me were living in. There was black mold growing on the inlay of the tanks, the water was filthy, and the little guys didn’t have enough heat or light to go around. One turtle in particular had no heat lamp whatsoever and it sat aimlessly walking a 1 inch perimeter of a small fish bowl. Watching the turtles as my nails dried, I was distraught. If this could get the attention of the owners of the salon, I would tell them to have their turtles adopted and opt for a large fish tank instead (it’s more affordable food-wise and you can have a variety of pretty fish on display). I hate to go full on animal rights representative, but jeez, I felt for those turtles. Have a nice day.

Alyssa Rodriguez I booked my appointment 5pm on a Sunday an hour before closing and the owner of this salon went out of his way to ensure my nails were dry before I left. He added additional anti-chip polish and stayed a few minutes late to wait my nails to finish. They came out flawless and I would go back!

Astha Mantri I’ve had the worst experience with them. The person who was doing my manicure was very rude. She was making faces all throughout and was not doing the nails properly. I wanted chrome but there was no shine. They took 68 dollars from me for the worst nails ever. They cut my own nails like anything. They couldn’t understand English. I will never come to this salon ever. They cut my natural nails also so badly without any shape. I strongly recommend to not go here because they were very unprofessional and it was actually the worst experience ever. I went with the motive of getting gel polish and they did dip on and then charged me double. It’s better to go somewhere and pay more than to get it done here because these people were just not professional and good. I am just scared now how this will affect my natural nails.

Kindra McDaniels Maria is very rude and nasty. The nails fall off very fast. She trys to tell you what to get. She changes the price randomly. She doesn’t have a lot of customers. I do not recommend this shop. Peter does not do nails or pedicures he will mess you all the way up!!! She will even refuse to do a customer nails. Do not support her she doesn’t respect the community or the people in it.

Darklighter601 Im really happy I decided to go there. My first experience with their service was excellent. I appreciate that they didnt try to pressure me into buying extras I didnt need. The staff were helpful and attentive without being pushy. It made the whole experience much more pleasant. Ill definitely be returning for future service. Its refreshing to find a place that focuses on customer satisfaction. I highly recommend giving them a try.

Kristina K The deluxe pedicure you only get 2 towls but before it was more. The salon is clean but expensive for low quality. My friend and I head 2 deluxe pedicure. My friend has a better pedicure than I did. Mine felt rushed. I will return but I might just have the younger girl do my pedicure again. The prices always changes. It keeps going up, but nothing changes. Take your money elsewhere. Or go next door.

Catherine Lingg Ive been to three different salons. First was okay. The very fancy and expensive second one was a nightmare. Sky nails (Sandy) did an outstanding job with great attention to detail. Great price. Theyre small but excellent

Shea Tennity Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I did not have a good experience. I went the other day and asked for UV Gel with tips. They told me my nails aren’t strong enough so they recommended acrylics. I don’t get my nails done often so I went with it even though I did question it. I then showed my design which was just some line work. Really NOTHING crazy at all. They said they couldn’t do it only French tips. I was thrown off but let him get them started and then thought we would figure it out after I got the nails on. He then had to do someone else’s nails so I went to someone else and she also told me she couldn’t do the design because my acrylics were too short and not the almond shape that was in the picture. Again, it was just some thick lines that I didn’t think were hard. I got coffin and didn’t think it was a real issue to get somewhat the same idea of the design. I had to search to find something, but everything I found she kept laughing telling me my nails were too short and not the right shape. So I settled. The next day, my boyfriend went alone because we wanted to be somewhat matching. He went in and showed them the design and was immediately told that’s impossible and can’t be done. Someone came up and offered to give it a shot. He just wanted a gel manicure. He got somewhat of the design he wanted, but they charged him $80. He’s never been to a nail salon and just went with it. They also charged me $80 so I’m confused why they would charge him SO much given it’s just a gel manicure with only two designs, meanwhile I got acrylics. I will post below what we WANTED and what we got. $80 is the main reason I’m angry for him because that is way too much for what he got. And the laughing and telling me I’m crazy for wanting what I asked for. It was just not a good experience. Mine are also crooked and eye just rushed and wasn’t listening when I would ask for it to be cut shorter until I was very persistent. $80 for his GEL manicure is insane and I feel like they jipped him big time.
