Top Reviews about 16 Nail Salons in Fonda, NY

Desiree Vazquez So Ive been going here occasionally for a year I wanna say. Everyone has been polite, kind, and I never leave feeling unsatisfied (I tend to go on weekdays in the afternoon). Today I had a man do my pedicure and I dont know his name but oh my goodness. He was phenomenal!!!! Hes tall, he was wearing a black beanie, a blue sweatshirt, black joggers with colored stripes on the side, and rose gold / black shoes. Everyone has to go to him. He was so detail-oriented and the massage??? THE MASSAGE. I was about ready to fall asleep. He was so gentle yet firm. I was wishing in my head that I didnt have to go into work because I just felt so super relaxed.

Irma Guevara I went in for a powder dip nails and a Pedi. The girl who did my Pedi was nice and did a good job. The tech (Helen) was on her name tag she did the dip powder. My right ring finger is wonky due to an accident. I normally let the nail techs do whatever they think is ok. I explained that it had acrylic that was put the previous time I went. She proceeded to put a fake nail on top. I wasnt sure where she was going with this but I let her do her work. There was literally a gap in between my nail and the fake nail she put on top. She was trying to play it off as if everything was fine and put oil and lotion on my hands and was like ok good done. I looked at the nail and told her NO, ITS NOT GOOD. CAN YOU FIX IT? Her solution was to snip the tip of my nail and said it was done. I told her again NO that there is still a gap. I work in my garden and I know that dirt and water were going to go in that gap. Basically she just drilled a bit of the tip but now it looks awful. I was so occupied with that finger that I didnt even check the rest of the nails. Finally got home and I am 100% disappointed. She didnt shape my nails after doing the dip so basically have bumps on my entire nails‼️‼️‼️‼️ I would go back to the place but I WILL NOT GO WITH HELEN AGAIN‼️

Kenia Velazquez-Pena I’ve been to Hanys Nail and Spa four times in total, but I will not be returning. My most recent visit was extremely disappointing due to a nail technician named Bobo. He was very rude and did a completely horrible job on my nails. I’m still in disbelief and can’t understand how he’s a nail technician because he clearly doesn’t know how to do a manicure. First, he cut my nails way too short and struggled to create the almond shape I requested. While filing, he was so rough that it hurt, and he even cut me. I was watching my nails throughout the process, unhappy with the outcome, but I didn’t want to say anything. Then, out of nowhere, he rudely asked why I was looking at my nails. That’s when I politely mentioned that I thought he had cut them too short and needed to keep the shape I wanted in mind before trimming so much off. He immediately became defensive and started snapping at me, despite the fact that I was being nice about it. When he asked what color I wanted, I said burgundy, which I had in mind from the start. But he told me that since my nails were too short, a solid color wouldn’t look good, and I agreed to let him do French tips instead. Big mistake—he couldn’t even make the lines straight! They looked terrible. On top of that, while doing my nails, the polish got messed up, and he blamed me for it, even though it wasn’t my fault. He was clearly annoyed that he had to fix it. To make things worse, my nails feel bumpy because he didn’t properly remove the old UV gel. I went in hoping for both a manicure and pedicure, but I ended up leaving after the manicure because I was so upset and disgusted by the unprofessionalism. I’ve never experienced anything like this at any other salon. Bobo is by far the worst nail technician I’ve ever encountered.

shirley salomon I have been going there for years. Never had a bad experience. My nails are always looking good and my manicures last until my next appointment.

Francisco Nunez I went in for a gel manicure, I was told to sit and was attended by SUE. Poor customer skills, horrible work ethics and cut me on almost all of my fingers without even cleaning my cuticles properly or removing dead skin. I decided not to do gel because I just decided to finish my manicure elsewhere. Still willing to pay to avoid any conflicts this service ended up costing $15 and I was harassed for a tip, she asked me at least 5 times for tip. I do not recommend this place. This video is after she finished job, speaks for itself.

Ant Ingui Totally ignored my request, cut my nails to short. She was very pleasant but she left my nails unfinished. She charged me 50.00 dollars. I just got a fill

dale z Lila did an outstanding job on my very challenging feet. I chose the honey spa pedicure for $45 which was worth every penny. She has a calm presence and took her time on each stage to give me a thorough job. I chose no polish for the winter to let toe nails breathe. My manicure was equally thorough. I highly recommend Lila and Aroma.

Mehnaj Zarin They do a good job shaping and are quick. However, when I brought up the fact that you can see the “cuticle line” in my nails, Maria insisted it’s because my dip color was too light. She didn’t add an additional layer of the dip to make sure all the nails were uniform. She started to get annoyed and flustered rather than offering to fix the nails.

Joy Horan I’ve been to just about every nail salon in town over the last 30 years of living here. Aroma Nails is the best hands down. I have always only had great experiences in my nine years of coming here. Anna is the ultimate in pedicures and Michelle is one of the best nail techs I’ve ever met. Simply the best ❤️

Christy Wong They have good prices, massage was ok. Reason for 1 star is because the brows lady literally ripped my skin off and said I had “really sensitive skin”. It’s burning and my wedding is in 2 weeks. My skin is raw and on fire.

Vanessa Delaney Just came for the first time. Nice staff. Good service. Accommodating. Definitely will be back. Thx!

Jessica Medina I used to come here all the time back when I lived in harlem. I returned during my visit to get my nails, toes, and brows done. My brows came out perfect per usual but it was $110 even though I asked for regular polish on both my nails and toes. But they started my nails with gel so I just went with it as they had took super long to do my toes and get up to polishing my nails. I was so tired and ready to go by then that I just let It Rock. But $110? I guess. Minutes after I left I noticed the gel start to have indents in it already so I went back and had three of my nails fixed while standing up. They didnt even offer me a chair lol things have sure changed.

CHRISTINA DIAZ I love Country Nails!!! Just got a fill in and gel pedicure and eyebrows and lip waxed! I have been coming here for over 16 years!! Yen and Tony are the owners and they are the best!! Always feel welcomed and they always do an amazing job!! Yen is my go to person for eyebrows waxing and I get compliments all the time. Love coming here. Place is Very calm, Clean and always feel relaxed. I’ve never had an issue as long as I been coming. Thank you for always taking good care of me!

Cassidy C I’ve been doing my nails at Country Nail with Tony for over 10 years now and he has been the best nail tech i have ever had! Tony always made sure my nails were perfect and to my liking and to be honest they always were, I have no complaints whatsoever, I love how he does my nails and most importantly they last me a whole month and more. Here are just some of the pictures of the nails Tony has done for me. (One’s in white are the ones I did today 2/14/25)

Kristen Guzman I have been going to Tony and Jen for over 15 years and they are by far the best nail salon! Even after moving, I still travel to Country Nails because there is no place better! I highly recommend their services! Great atmosphere, great prices and exceptional service!

Chelsea Abigail Made a reservation for 11:30 AM on a Sunday morning, we got there 20 minutes late and they still allowed us to sit in our table with no problem with nothing but smiles! The hostess and the waitress were really sweet, asked if if it was the first time visiting, and informed us of how the food was going to be buffet styled. The ambiance was cozy with Easter decor, a piano in the middle of the dining room, taxidermy and their syrup being sold in the entrance! I got these two leather earrings made in Townsend! They were $6 each and so cute. I got a red and brown one! The pancakes were extremely delicious; golden brown, their maple syrup was unique, and their bacon was crispy and not too greasy. It was the perfect spot for breakfast!

Martin Gardner Excellent breakfast! No menu, everything comes out family style. Its also all you can eat, so you have no excuse leaving hungry! Home fries were exceptional! Pancakes are very good, they are not made with sugars or vanilla. So if you like an older style whole wheat type pancake, this is the place to get them. We are looking forward to coming back on a Friday afternoon for dinner.

Jo Suss Had Wonderful meal Friday night. My husband had queen cut prime rib and I had the haddock fish fry. The food is more than generous, with a complete five course meal, dessert included all for one price. It was $77 for two of us. There is soft drinks offered but we saw someone B.Y.O.Wine.

Danielle Kiel Amazing! My first time here this past weekend and I am very pleased. I live closer to this salon than my usual and it looked very beautiful from the outside, so I thought why not give this place a try. When I made my appointment they were very attentive and took me right away. Lisa did my spa pedicure and gel French manicure. She was very kind, thorough, and made sure the polish was nothing less than perfection before finishing my manicure. I really appreciate the time and effort she put into my nails. It is a wonderful thing to see someone take pride in their beautiful artwork. I will definitely return and ask for Lisa again!

Maria Bozo I’ve been going to Winnie from elegant nails for over a year now and I have to say she is the kindest. If I ever have a problem, she fixes it right away She’s amazing and they always do a wonderful job

stephanie domond I came here on a monday because i hate the weekend rush and Andy was absolutely amazing. he took his time to get my nails done. i am also expecting and he was very gentle and ensured it was done with care.

Maya Davis I visited Dry M today and had an excellent experience! The staff was friendly and professional, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The nail technicians did a fantastic job with my manicure and pedicure, paying close attention to detail and ensuring everything was perfect. The salon was clean and well-maintained, and they offered a wide variety of colors and designs to choose from. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-notch nail services!

Lidia Loguercio Great job, havent had a manicure like this and cuticles so perfect since Russia! All staff is amazing! Nails last for 4 weeks, no chips, no breakage. Design work is also beautiful!

CHRISTINE thorpe This was my 3rd appointment doing a Russian manicure at dry M nail salon. My nails were so unhealthy at my first visit… I’m going to post befores and where my nails are now after my 3rd appointment. I will never go back to regular manicures . My nails are so strong and healthy. I was a nail biter and would wear acrylics, not anymore! Going to be setting my next appointment in two weeks. Thank you dry M nail salon. 5 stars!

Nichelle Solomon Really liked my design and how my nails came out with Ivana! She was very thorough with my manicure and design. However, $150 for these is kinda crazy to me as I got designs like this and more intricate with Japanese nail gel at my regular spot for cheaper than this. The design alone was about $70+? I’d still recommend and will come back! Just confirm the price and your design first!

Carolina Guizar I had a great nail appointment with Noelle! She was gentle with my gel removal and I’m loving coordinating outfits around my new look!

Nathalia O Always gorgeous nails. Pricey but worth it for the pretty design and flawless gel extensions and regular gels. Lasts 3 weeks

Natasha W After years of searching around and trying out several different nail salons, I stumbled across Tammy Nail Spa in Chester, and am blown away by this place. Tammy and her husband are very kind and sweet and go out of their way to make sure that youre comfortable and relaxed during your appointment. From the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out I was absolutely amazed. The quality of work that Tammy does is absolutely amazing. Her technique and dedication shows. I showed Tammy a picture of a nail design and she knocked it our the park 10xs further! I will absolutely continue to go back to Tammy Nail Spa every month! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Koreena Iv been there for the first time today and I have to say iv tried ALOT of nail salons in the area and this one is by far the best one iv been to yet! They earned a life long customer today ! And my nails and my toes came out beautiful !

PAsoraya VAZQUEZ SERENDIPTY! What a great experience! A lovely couple that provide excellent service! I was impressed with my gel pedicure then blown away by the Gel manicure…. And then the Massage!!!!!! Oh I will be back …. Over and over again!

Sasha Banks I got a gel mani & pedi and it was definitely the best experience I’ve had in new Windsor so far. Pina did my pedi and really took her time and it came out beautiful despite my toenail being split. She helped mend it perfectly!! Definitely will come again. They’re clean, quick, friendly and professional!! Thank you :)

Sammy Zambrano Love this place. I was referred by a friend about this place after a bad experience at one close to my home. No regrets, the staff here are super friendly. I see nail tech Pina and she always makes my visit a great one.

Adri The pictures they promote are obviously taken from online because my nails were supposed to be a medium length plain white acrylic. No design nothing fancy and they were done horribly.(costed $50). My cuticles were flooded and acrylic all over my finger. You can see where the tips start at aswell. The lady messed up and just painted one of my nails white so it looks completely different.Got a so called wax and no hair came from my eye brows..($8). Got a face wax and nothing came off aswell($20).

C Lewis My dip manicure looks terrible just 5 days later. The staff was friendly, but they’re definitely doing something wrong

Colleen Hanley Hodgins They took nearly 90 minutes for a gel pedicure that did not look great at all. Then they nearly charged double the price and acted like they dont speak English to understand. They also TELL you they will do a 10 minute massage on your legs but dont tell you it cost extra. I said no and did not get massage but they kept telling me no you had massage. No I didnt. Never again. $52 for this???

Wendy Treiland Been coming here for years just recently realized they switched people around or got new owners. Only 1 or 2 people are the same from before. However, they still do good work. Once or twice it hadn’t been perfect but overall I’ve never had awful service .

Isabella Borja First time here and the service was amazing, it was very clean and a very pretty salon and everyone was so nice! I was so impressed with the quality and detail that was used to do my manicure. My nail tech was Lora and I absolutely loved her. She really took her time to perfect my nails and I was in shock when I saw my nails at the end because they have never looked so perfect. I love this place and I will be coming back!!!!

Jamila I always have great experiences at M Studio, especially with artist Maria! Her nails come out very clean and last a long time. The facility is beautiful and front desk is very nice and accommodating. Best Russian nails I have been to :)

Giulia Reintjes Been going to MStudio for a few months and always love my nails. They have stayed long, strong and healthy and last perfectly for at least 4 weeks. Aida is amazing and always does a perfect job.

Sara Armesto So want to start by saying that Im not a local and staying in Middletown for work for over a month now. I was in need of a refill but I only use protein bullilder gel over my natural nails. I was so skeptical about going somewhere I didnt know and not many places use the protein builder method. I went to Giovanna on a whim and was not disappointed. She uses the method which is so much healthier for natural nails and they came out lovely. To top it off she finished with a wonderful hand massage. I would definitely recommend her.

Lauren Detter My first time visiting this nail salon today! Giovanna was welcoming, professional and easy going! The shop is absolutely adorable! Super clean and cozy! She takes her time and does a quality job! So happy to found her! Definitely returning!

Brandie Gigi is the best nail tech that Ive come across in the Hudson Valley, and Ive tried MANY! Very clean, intimate environment. Any trending styles or services I ask for she is knowledgeable or trained in doing the styles or techniques. Also, I appreciate that she caters to clients with medical needs, especially diabetics who need special care when dealing with their feet.

Carolyn Ortiz Went today and was turned away HOWEVER it was a Saturday and they said they had no appointments available. I was shocked because I got there and there were staff with empty seats so even if they had an appointment they could’ve served me if they wanted to. I was only there for a manicure which takes 20 minutes so if they really wanted to attend to me they could’ve. But on a brighter note they do a great job and my nails lasted. So, I gave them 5 stars due to the quality of service but they could do better accommodating people because it seems like I wasn’t the only one based on previous comments. I guess to avoid the hassle MAKE AN APPOINTMENT especially for a Saturday. When I went before it was during the week so that could be the difference.

DePew Crystal I loveee this place. Have been coming here for at least 1 1/2 years. It is clean and organized. They don’t overbook and are always ready on time. I feel this makes the experience more intimate and personal. They always make my nails look and feel amazing. I can’t say enough good about them!!!

1880 Eaton House Restoration Just got a pedicure it was less 30 mins. Barely touched me. Nails not short enough even tho I asked for shorter 2x. No lotion or oils.. nothing. It was pretty disappointing actually. It was fast that’s the best I can say about it. I’m sure my feet will still be pretty dry for the wedding on Saturday which is a real let down. Not going back.

Ingrid Hill This is a smaller nail salon. The day we went in only 2 techs were on the floor but they were both pleasant, attentive, and efficient. Their work was beautiful. Priced a smidge higher than other local studios but the attentive focus and detail orientation made it all worth it.

Danielle Grabeklis Normally I do not write bad reviews.. I will just never go back. However, I have been coming here since they opened. Had an appointment, but that didn’t matter. Now she’s been on the phone the entire pedicure. NOT RELAXING OR PROFESSIONAL AT ALL!

Al Bean I went here for my first pedicure in years and my feet were in an embarrassingly bad condition. The lady who gave me my pedicure (not Tina but another lady whose name I unfortunately forgot) did an outstanding job. I thought they had a good selection of gel colors. Its been a week and they still look amazing considering how bad my feet normally look!
