176 Cozy Nails - Brooklyn (NY)

5 /5 Pati Mo: Ok so I saw the negative reviews so I was a bit hesitant to go but I have to say, LOVED the experience. The place didn’t reek chemicals like most nail places. Super clean! And I Loved my resulting nails! They were flexible and welcoming to my special color request. It was fast, super neat and they had high-quality technique I thought, so I felt compelled to leave a review to bump up their score. Highly recommend!

1 /5 Deirdre Sullivan: Do not give these scam artists a DIME of your money. I get the same service (gel manicure with tip extensions) at the Graham Ave Cozy nails for $70 and they charged me $135 here. When I brought this up, she mentioned how all the salons on Bedford Ave charge this rate and tried to say that I must have had a different service at the Graham location (it was the exact same). Having your address on Bedford Ave does not give you the right to scam people. This is the most basic manicure (not bad quality but nothing fancy) and I walked out paying $155 with tip. I will not be returning. This entire experience felt like theft.

4 /5 Piper Martz: This is my favorite nail salon in Williamsburg for a gel pedicure! I highly recommend the gel pedicure, which lasts sometimes close to 4-5 weeks with no chipping! If possible, I recommend coming during a weekday and not too close to closing. I find the nail technicians are much more relaxed, and take their time giving you a very relaxing experience. Their menu is a bit confusing, but you can pay a little extra to get an olive or lavender treatment on top of your pedicure. It’s amazing and definitely worth it if the salon is not rushed and they truly give you full add on experience. The 10 min foot massage and the leg mask are amazing! I tried to come on a Tuesday evening or Wednesday afternoon if I can slip away from work for an hour. I’m giving 4 stars bc the quality of the experience is simply not so great when they are rushed and very busy. Often making you wait 15 to 20 minutes because they’ve double booked (even if you made an appointment in advance). Or if they are really busy, they will sometimes switch your nail technician mid-service which isnt great.

2 /5 Cris Soriano: The place itself is beautiful. I really wanted to love this place. But they did a a very underwhelming job on a pedi and gel mani. The pedicure was very light. I feel like they barely got under my nails to clean them and barely cut cuticles off. Regarding the gel mani- I had a red manicure on beforehand, and I understand red can be difficult to remove but to leave it on the sides even after gel application!?! CMON. Super unimpressed. Go somewhere else. I know I will.

1 /5 Zena Keilany: I went in a few weeks ago to book a same day appointment, and booked the last one which was at 6:45 pm (they close at 8). Arrived on time, sat down and they asked which pedicure I wanted and thought because of time, I should go with a regular instead of spa. The lady proceeds to give me this superficial pedicure and was extremely aggressive with my feet, pushing and pulling my feet to the point where I pulled my foot back from her, and she looked alarmed and I said to her "stop" "calm down" this woman was hysterical, she went to get a hot towel for my legs, she applied it and I told her it wasnt hot. It was actually cold. She starts losing her mind. It was an insane experience. Long story short the manicure sucked, pedicure chipped that has NEVER happened to me. My nails are breaking and this was a disgusting experience. The manager tried apologizing to me and gave me some punch card, I am responding to that by leaving this review. Avoid it at all costs, there are other spots with non-psychopaths working there. Very disappointing.
