IL Giglio Nail & Spa - Brooklyn (NY)

2 /5 Erica McNeely: My normal place was busy so I decided to try this place based on its 4.6 star rating. Unfortunately I am so disappointed in my results. The pedicure was just ok. I asked for Mint and I am positive I got zero mint during the entire pedicure. Secondly, I asked for a simple Mickey Mouse design on two of my fingers (one bigger circle and two smaller circles for his ears) after what felt like a million attempts that all looked like rabbits I asked them to stop because it wasn’t the correct design. Ultimately, the experience was a lot more expensive than my regular place and quality significantly worse. And now I’m about 9 days since the manicure and almost all my nails have cracks and chips. Very disappointing. I’d recommend everyone skip this place.

5 /5 Brooke Reynolds: I live close by and always come in to get my nails done by Maggie! She is the best and every time I get a set from her it lasts three weeks at least. Back massages are also wonderful here! I always feel truly taken care of.

2 /5 Talia RC: Ive been here before because its close by, but have been disappointed several times. Today, when I visited, I was told I had too much gel on and it took a long time to soak. When It was eventually filed off, the dremel was used without care leaving deep divvets in my nails. Later on, when it was clear my manicure was taking longer than expected and other customers were waiting, and my nail tech clearly started rushing. My nails are filed in different shapes and lengths, and my french was done carelessly. There was a lot of nail polish left on my skin, and the colored polish on my french doesnt even reach the top of my nail. Ive been in the salon when others have complained about the same issue. Really disappointing experience - there are several other nail salons in the area that are more careful and spend more time.

2 /5 Elijah Hall: The 10 minute message was wonderful!! However the nail service was not. I always use dip and I have never had an issue with taking it off or applying. My nails soaked during the message so should not have been an issue to remove. The girl used a dremel so much that it actually hurt on the top of my nail. It was like it was almost to the flesh underneath. I said ouch several times and I got “sorry” then she would talk in Chinese. I love the color but they are so thick and caked under my nails!! I have several cuts on my cuticles!! It was reasonably priced but I guess you get what you pay for!! Hope everyone else has a better experience!!

3 /5 ladiimj93: I purchased a Groupon and started going frequently. I love the way they do pedicures but my last two visits the gel manicure didn’t last very long. they’re very hospitable but it’s too far to travel for nails that don’t last. I went on a Wednesday and had to go back on Friday for them to fix it.
