Alyssa Martin Went new years day and the owner is an absolute sweetheart, answered all my questions thoroughly and checked on me throughout my appointment. The nail tech that did my nails, Irene, did a fabulous job. She really knows what she’s doing and she does her job amazingly. They offer a lot and have reasonable prices. Thank you for the new years day accommodations I love my nails and cant wait to show them off during my vacation !!!!

Kristen Johnson I went to this nail salon a couple days after they opened and it was a wonderful experience. They were so welcoming and kind and helped with decision making. I got gel and was deciding between two colors and they let me try them both. They were reasonably priced and I will definitely be going back!

Terri Werlau Went to First Lady for the first time and cannot wait to go back! Maggie did my pedicure and it was fantastic. I was having a not great experience with my nails - hard gel extensions. The owner (name??) came over and swooped me into her chair and meticulously fixed every nail to make them absolutely perfect!! I cannot wait to go back!

Sara Kowalski This nail salon exceeded my expectations. The salon is immaculate and decorated beautifully. The owner greeted me warmly and was so helpful and patient with me. She explained what would be best even when I struggled to articulate my wants. Maggie made my nails beautiful. I had a pedicure and a full set with dip powder and a special gel polish which made my nails look like glass. Pre booked my next appointment with her before I left. Looking forward to my next visit.

Rafeeqa Williams Came in for a facial and other services. It was the best facial I’ve had actually fell asleep; had a great experience!

Rodline Smith My nails ALWAYS look amazing after a visit from seeing Danielle! Her customer service is top notch and the whole Flava gurlz beauty bar is a whole vibe! It is definitely a place where you can truly be relaxed and be yourself. Please go book them now, you will not be disappointed! By the way my nails in the picture is the builder gel service not acrylic.

Shannon Rothermel I have been getting my nails done by Danielle since November and I will only being going to see her going forward. She has such an amazing energy and is welcoming to all of her clients. I get an amazing set every time and she does not disappoint. I would highly recommend Flava Gurlz!!!!!

Emily Silva Ashley is so nice and even gave good advice on caring for my nails. Super easy going with design and colors.

Andie (AndieRose) Ashley is the best!! She does anything you want and you never leave unless its perfect!! Always willing to fit you in or work with your schedule. If youre looking for a friendly, awesome nail tech, shes your gal!

PAWs Pack Cant say enough good things about Ashley. My nail technician moved south many years ago and recommended Ashley. I have been going to her ever since. She keeps my nails in great condition and I get so many compliments on the designs that she loves to do on them. I highly recommend her services.

Cydney Ashley did a flawless job, I’ve never been so pleased with just a gel mani… I usually feel like I have to get a full set for a neat look but she did great with my natural nails :)))

Stephanie Brockway Ashley is incredibly talented! Once you go to her, you’ll never go anywhere else! She always goes above and beyond to accomodate her customers, which I really appreciate. You won’t find anyone better. Highly recommend!

Milani Cardona I had a great experience! Taylor made me feel so comfortable and did an amazing job on my hair and nails! She even has a special on blowouts and manis! Checkout TW nails and ask for Taylor!

Zachary Laug This salon is simply amazing! Tina is a delight and very talented at her craft

Kathy Zimmerman Tina is the best. Have used her services for at least 36 years. Wouldnt go anywhere else

Ellen Rubin Tina Williams, owner of TW Nail Technology, is awesome! I go to her salon exclusively for gel manicures, gel pedicures, and haircuts/color. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!

Robert Nelson Great place my wife has gone there. Very good work very professional and quality work. Owner very kind and understanding, I feel its the best place around.

J S Very thorough stylist that does a great set of French acrylic nails. The guys at work have been complimenting how good they look after two weeks of no chips (I work in construction). Her prices are great for nails and waxing!

Mitchel D Hall What an amazing experience. My girlfriend has cerebral palsy, so it is very difficult for her to speak and completely control her right hand. San took such good care of her and made her feel so comfortable the entire time. We will be going no where else for now on. God bless you San!

Bill Sepe My toe and fingernails have never looked healthier. San does a terrific job.

Simone Wint Rose always does an amazing job whenever I go in to get my nails done. She also does a great job of offering suggestions for a color or design that might look better on you than what you originally had in mind. Im never disappointed after shes done with my nails.

Melli Ace I have been coming here for about a year for gel pedicures. They always do a great job. Recently I have started doing my full set there. Kevin is the best!He does a great job with my nails and always gives me a better design than I come in wanting. My polish lasts until I need a fill in and my nails don’t ever break. 10/10 and the prices are very good.

Dana Palermo If I could give 0 stars I would. This nail salon is overpriced and they can’t do a basic manicure. I was upstate visiting my sister and we stayed in Poughkeepsie for one night. I thought it would be a fun and relaxing activity to do together. We walked by this salon and saw a decent amount of customers inside, so we figured to give it a try. The reviews online were average and we were getting a regular manicure so I thought we would have been fine. The lady that took me kept trying to get me to pay for additional services - she asked me twice if I wanted a gel manicure and if I wanted a pedicure. It’s a turn off to be pestered about additional services when I made it clear we were just getting a regular manicure. They have us sit down right away and my lady put my fingers to soak in water and then had to tend to the front desk for a bit. I’ve never been at a nail salon that doesn’t have you pick the color first before sitting down but I went with the flow. She comes back and doesn’t do a thorough job cleaning up my nails and filing. She was rough when filing my nails and my cuticles were not cleaned up nicely. She tells me to look at the wall of polishes behind her and let her know the number I want. There were a ton of polishes and I can’t get a good look from my seat. I asked her a question about it and she made a nasty face and said irritably, “you tell me the number and I’ll get it for you.” She rushed through the clean up of my nails and then told me to go find a color. Another staff member told me that I could look at all the walls, not just the one near where I was seated. After less than a minute of looking my lady came behind me and said “are you done.” I told her I’m still looking and she proceeded to wait and hover behind me….talk about feeling rushed. I took my time anyways and picked a color while she stood right behind me. She does a quick paint and has me move to the dryer. The paint didn’t go all the way to the end of my nail and I had nail dust still under my nails. This is the first time I’ve never tipped before in my life. I normally give a tip even if the service isn’t perfect, because I usually feel comfortable to approach the person to ask them to fix it before I leave. This lady made herself very unapproachable. Being abrasive and having poor technique will not earn a customer’s trust or a generous tip. My nails started cracking and chipping that night and in the picture you can see how they looked less than 24 hours later…all I did was go out to dinner and drive. There’s no reason why a manicure should look like that hours after. A manicure shouldn’t look like that two days later. I’m finishing drying and I wonder how my sisters appointment is going. Something is fundamentally wrong when two people start at the same time for the same service and one ends up finishing 25 minutes earlier. Her lady was taking more time with her manicure and had my sister look at swatches to pick out colors. My person was just extremely impatient for whatever reason. Although my sisters lady was kinder and didn’t rush, she did make my sister bleed on two fingers. I’ve never been to a nail salon thats messed up to the point of making someone bleed not on only one finger, but two. The picture with the red nails are the two nails that were bleeding. $22 for a regular manicure is a joke. It’s cheaper to get that service done in New York City. But to charge $22 and to 1) not execute it well and 2) have horrendous customer service, you don’t deserve to be in business. If you’re visiting the area looking for a nail service, steer clear of this place. The convenience of the location is not worth taking the chance of getting assigned a staff member like I was. I am certain you can find somewhere a short drive away, or just elsewhere on Main Street, that does the bare minimum (and can do it well).

Kay C Went in here to buy hair dye and a few other things. As I walked aisle to aisle I realized a black girl with a scarf (very unpresentable) kept following me. NEVER offered any help! I switched aisles on purpose just to see and she literally moved with me every time! Put the hair dye back and left! Why would I spend my money somewhere that already assumes you’re going to steal and follows you around? It’s weird and uncomfortable! Ohh and the 2 separate stores are dumb!

Alfreda Green I shopped this store several times and whenever this short Mexican/ Hispanic gentleman is there i notice that he follows me around the store. He had the nerve to say to me not to allow my 8 yr old grand daughter to touch anything. I had to put him in his place. In this country she has the right to choose her own items. ( hair accessories, gel etc) If she cant, we will not be shopping here anymore. Other than that the selection and music is good. Someone needs to check homeboy before he causes you business. Remember theres another beauty supply one block over.

Rekeeda Parker Great experience. Staff spent quality time helping us find products/ hair that we needed.

Kenya Rodriguez Every time I come here they treat me so well. They are helpful and have all the products I need. Been coming here for years now they’ve expanded and opened a second store right next door with even more options! Ten Stars!

Christy Havranek Been trying to find a good, reliable spot for pedicures and finally did. The space is clean and atmosphere is chill, I never felt rushed, and everyone was nice. Lily was my tech and she was thorough and meticulous. Also, first time making a pedicure appointment at a salon anywhere — and I was actually seen on time!! Will be 100% be back.

Amanda de Bara I was able to make an appointment the same day which was great. Its a small place on main Street but its clean and very nice looking. They have so many color choices. The owner was really nice and attentive when I came in. It was only her and one other employee. The girl that helped me gave me a spa gel pedicure and manicure. She is really talented at 3d nail art. I didnt get anything fancy I only got one color but I saw the designs she did on her boss (Disney princesses on each finger!) and her own nails and they were so cool. I dont get my nails done too often so I wasnt really sure what I wanted but I definitely want to come back here and get something really cool next time. Its small and intimate and relaxing as opposed to those really big salons that just want to get you in and out and turn you over. Great place thank you for a relaxing time to myself. Also the prices are REALLY reasonable and totally worth it.

Sasha Hands down the BEST pedicure I got in the Hudson Valley!! The service started on time, Keyla was supper thorough and the service didn’t feel rushed. The entire place is super cute and clean. Will definitely come back.

Sandi C I found this place because I wasn’t happy with where I was previously going. Ivy is super sweet and my nails came out Soo cute!

Alexis Solares Me and my husband got pedicures and I in addition got ANC + Gel art, and eyebrows done. The nail salon is very comfortable and quiet, the duration of the service was normal. I didnt feel rushed nor did I feel that they took too much of my time. The only thing I wasnt to happy with was the cleaning of my toe nails, I feel other places had better service. Loved everything else, nails came out nice, massage that was included great, eyebrows came out on point.

Dayane JM This is my first time here and I am very pleased. It’s a Friday afternoon and it wasn’t crowded. Plus the service was great. I feel like they took their time with cleaning my feet unlike some places where the service feels rushed. And I got my eyebrows waxed, the lady was very nice. Definitely will come back!

Khaya L I visited cozynailplus for a gel manicure and I have to say it was an amazing experience! Im very particular about my nail shape, but Goldie took her time and absolutely nailed it--my nails have the perfect shape and look flawless. She also helped me choose the ideal shade of pink and I couldnt be happier with the color! The service was exceptional, the salon was spotless, 10/10 experience. Ill definitely be coming back!

Jenn Lee G Ive gotten a pedicure and first-time gel nails. The outcome for both was absolutely beautiful. The woman who did my nails is a true artist. Everyone here is very friendly and inviting. I will recommend to anyone looking for great work.

Jodi Carroll This is hands down the best nail salon I have found in all of the Mid-Hudson Valley. They are friendly, clean, very professional, and always make you feel welcome. The service is top notch. I always leave feeling like a million dollars. If I could give them 10 stars I would! Highly recommend to anyone who who wants to have a manicure, pedicure or waxing.

Margie Rinaldi I just love Carrie, she is so funny! The reason I gave 4 stars is because a couple of times I didnt get what I wanted. ..maybe I didnt explain it correctly. She is extremely talented though and I always find myself going to her to have her fix my hair from the last butcher job all because I couldnt wait for her to do it!

Charlie Lattin Very professional, caring & helpful. They do your hair exactly as you want & like it. They go the step beyond to satisfy.

Elena Kondor Wonderful place! Want fun hair? Ask for Carrie. Shes the only one I trust to give me what I want.

Michael Fiorillo Very friendly and personable staff. Easy access location.

Alyssa Rose First time trying this nail salon and it was a very positive experience! They were super friendly and accommodating. I had to leave in the middle of doing my nails for an emergency, I didn’t make it back until 45 mins before they closed and they stayed and late and finished them for me. They did such a beautiful job too. The shaping was perfect, the nails weren’t too thick, and the design was exactly what I wanted. And the prices were great! I will definitely be back!

Nadia Glenn John did an amazing job. I’ll go to him again. He took his time to replicate a Google picture, and it came out beautifully. He is one of the best nail techs in the city of Poughkeepsie!

Başak Maraba It was my first time trying 427 pk. I went there on Tuesday , walked in and didn’t wait even for a minute. Staff were so friendly! I tried 4-5 salons before and I can tell they did exactly what I want. I got spa pedicure for 45$, i have ingrown nails and he did a really good job with removing them. Also I got acrylic refill and nail design for 90$. I don’t know his name but he could be the owner’s son. He did an amazing job. I spent almost 2.30 hours. Worth every penny!!!

Madison Ryan Best experience I have ever had at a nail salon. They did a fantastic job and have great prices! I would recommend.

Fh Fh I refrained from leaving a negative review because I was hoping Irina would do the right thing and she never did. It has been 2 months and the situation does not sit well with me which is the reason for my review. Irina was on time and I have nothing negative to say regarding her punctuality. Everything else was awful. No masks were worn during the service and while I believe they were not mandated at the time of the service (2 months ago) considering how close you are to the client it would be ideal considering there is no barrier between the client and worker like most salons have done. My finger was cut and I had a scar for weeks after the appointment. When I showed my family my nails they thought I had painted them myself with an at home kit. I ended up going to another nail salon the day after and getting them redone. Irina used inappropriate language as well. I was more concerned with her feelings than my own because I did not want to hurt her feelings at the time of the appointment so I was polite and left. I later brought the awful language to her attention and she offered me a free service. I advised I did not want a free service given I do not feel comfortable there. No refund was ever offered which I feel is extremely unprofessional given the circumstances. The right thing was not done and I do not want others to go here and experience the same thing it is unfair to future visitors. Edit to respond to the response I received: First, I was encouraged to take off my mask as soon as I walked in so the fact that I had it on was not respected. Second, I did reach out the next day and advised I felt uncomfortable with the language used to refer to me. (Racial comment/joke) I was offered a free service which I turned down because I had already stated I did not feel comfortable there and would not be returning. A REFUND was never offered to me which is what I believe is unprofessional & when I mentioned this incident to my family they were shocked that I was not offered a refund given the cut on my finger, the fact that I had to get my nails redone the next day because they looked like I had painted them myself at home and the insensitive language. I waited to leave a review because I was hoping you would reach back out and do the right thing and you never did. The money was more important to you than making it right and other people should be aware.

Ilene Goldman Irina, the owner, is very professional and respectful of everyone that comes in for her services. She is very accommodating, and her mani/pedis and waxing services are the best around. I would not go anywhere else for these services. The shop is very clean and adheres to state guidelines for the Corona virus. What more can I say? Give her shop a try and find out for yourself.

Kristina Kolibab Enjoyed great conversation and received a beautiful pedicure courtesy of Irina, will definitely be good back!

Donna Medici Excellent job! So worth it.

Melanie DeRosa I have recently moved to poughkeepsie and I was looking for a professional to do my nails. Well I tried so many places up here. I finally found a true professional in Nails by Irina . She is experienced and fun to be around. If your looking for a lady that knows what she’s doing . Look no further. Nails by Irina is the place to go !!

Ana Cubillos I’ve come here once before for a pedicure that was nice so I came in for a gel mani pedi. Definitely a mistake. Cuticles flooded, sides look messy and jagged, barely cleaned the polish off my skin. My toes were also a mess but you can’t tell as much since the light pink color chosen was pretty much clear, but I’ll own that part. I gave two stars based on the cleanliness of the salon and general customer service.

Sadie Patton Mia was very good. She adjusted to my ticklish feet and was very through with my nail care. The environment was relaxing and calm. Color selection was excellent and the salon was neat and clean. I returned to this salon and got a gel manicure with Zoey and it turned out amazing. Absolutely would recommend

Kara Schaab I am very happy with The services of this salon, they took their time they offered water. I’m happy with how the pedicure came out. I will definitely be returning. Just remember to tip because they will ask you if you are tipping cash or on your card

merchimochi They are the best when it comes to nails. I first got the clowns and got so many compliments this time I went with stars. They really take their time with the designs. I will continue to come in and get my nails done with them!!!

Syleena Jones Very welcoming and sat me down within seconds despite me not having an appointment. They copied the design I wanted exactly like the picture. They also had really cool hand bags that make your hands super soft after everything is done!!!

Andrea Wilson I have been having massages with Karla for 4 years now. I just followed her to Appearace Salon & Day Spa. The atmosphere was calming and soothing and as always Karla is great! You will not be disappointed!

Kate Underhill Tom and his staff are amazing! I have been coming here for many years and am always impressed with everything! Several months ago I came in looking to do something different with my hair but not entirely sure what to do and Tom suggested a funky short hair style that I love and have been keeping for the past several months. With this style I have been getting multiple complaints about my hair and I always tell them that I get it done by Tom at Appearance Day Spa! The same time that I started getting my hair done with the funky short cut I also started to get my hair colored to a brighter blonde….before that I had only gotten some highlights in my hair…this time I got my hair completely colored; Tom colored my hair himself and made sure that I was comfortable and nothing felt like it was burning or hurt. 100/10! I love coming here to get my hair done! I won’t let anyone but Tom do my hair!!! Tom is the best!!!!!

Shari Mullen My daughter had her hair blown out and curled for a very special event. Sorry to say the curls did not even last until she got home to change into her party clothes. She was quite upset as was I that I spent money for nothing.

Treacy Bob I’ve been a client at - Apperance Salon & Day Spa for over 2 yrs now & I strongly recommend Tom to everyone! Tom is truly an expert & artist in the hair industry! Tom knows the latest hair cut & color trends.. Having fine hair -Tom some how works his magic & I always leave satisfied! My husband, son , & friends are now followers of Tom due to his consistency & expertise.. My only regret is not finding him sooner!

M R Saturday, January 18th. Decided to get gel. Later on in the day, the polish started to lift on 3 nails. Was I happy? No, especially since I spent the money and tipped way to much! Not worth it at all. It’s always a rush, rush job.

Shannon Kelly My experience with Ryan was great! I hate getting my nails done to be honest! Ryan made it better. He was pleasant, fast and careful all at the same time! He showed that he cared about what my nails looked like and assured I was happy with the outcome. He suggested adding a shiny silver line, even after closing time to make sure I was satisfied. As you can see I decided I like them the way they were. He was def tired after a long day and didn’t have to do that. Thank you! Definitely giving 5 stars after todays visit . My other experiences have always been pleasant as well!

Emelia Jane Amazing! The staff is kind and thoughtful. Definitely recommend, sometimes they are busy so it’s a good idea to call ahead and make an appointment!! Ring always does a great job.

Jackie DeVuyst I have been going to New New Nails for years now, and they always give exceptional service! I had a pedicure today with Ben. He was meticulous and the massage was so relaxing. Ring did my manicure, which was also amazing. They are the best nail salon around, hands down! They truly care about giving the best customer experience. I won’t anywhere else.

delight bhonda l am satisfied with the service at this spa. i did get annoyed three times at one point when they damaged my cuticles and filed me so bad it was painful for days to wash hands. The other time they made me pay for shaping my nails that were already shaped and the third time the same nail design l was charged more money for the same thing. I always stick to a type of routine with my nails. i did however decide to keep going and see what happens and l am glad l stayed. I just gave 4 star for the times l got annoyed but they actually do a good job! I intend to stay there.
