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

Christina Absolutely HORRIBLE!! The man rushed with my gel manicure. It was sloppy and now my nails are showing spots! Not even an hour later, not to mention going out of the lines with my red gel polish. I feel they’re not professionally trained. He took off my gel polish with the drill and hurt a few of my fingers with the drill. He didn’t even brush the table off after drilling my nails, so each of my hands were laying in the dirty dust on the table!! $30 I paid, never will I go back for their services! I even seen him wipe the tools he used on my hands with a white piece of paper towel, and put them back into the plastic blue bag!!! So yea, he didn’t sterilize them!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL!!!!!! I’ll stick to Graffiti Nails! Much cleaner, friendlier, and take their time…

Rebecca O This place is under new management, figured I give them a try again. I was referred by a good friend she got her nails done by Bobby they look great. I needed a pedicure and Bobby was wasn’t there but, I received a spa pedicure from them for 55 dollars. Not including tip. It didn’t include gel polish or removal of the previous gel pedicure. In the end my feet was not smooth and my toes looked better before I got there. Also, they charge $10 dollars to soak off dip powder or acrylic tips or $5 dollars to have them roughly take it off your fingers. I can understand there’s a charge, but the process to soak off or take off was not much different then what I experience in the past. They still roughly use a mechanical file just with acetone, which they don’t even allow adequate time for a proper removal. I will not be going there again. I do not recommend. I understand why they are never busy. The service, the ambience or quality of work does not match the price board. Also, trying to get a relaxing spa pedicure there with a gym upstairs is not relaxing. You can hear them slam weights constantly that also a reason why I gave this place a 1 star. Because, no!

Doris Cordero My daughter and I recently got our nails done here. The place has been renovated and is under new ownership. We both got a pedicure and although I read a review here that they no longer use the hot stones, we found that not to be the case with us. They used the hot stones and our pedicures were not rushed. My daughter loved the way her nails were done and we will definitely be back. I find the prices to be fair and similar to what they used to be.

Angela Przybysz Chop Shop! Horrible, dirty, and nasty staff. They dont know how to do nails. Unsanitary and dirty the equipment such as the filing board was used on every single client and was not sanitized in between uses as well as the clippers. Wore same pair of gloves on each client and cut me making me bleed. They removed tips using a dirty METROCARD while I told her to STOP. This place needs to be shut by the department of health. All the workers especially the Spanish girl had such an attitude when doing my nails. She was grabbing my hand aggressively and huffing and puffing painting my nails. She was rude talking on the phone the whole service. I wanted a refund for the chop shop job and the Chinese front desk lady was talking so much bad things acting like I did not understand Mandarin. Not for nothing if your paying for a service it should be done right the first time. After telling them I was not happy with the service I had to argue to get my money back.

Gisselle Tirado I LOVE this place. It quickly became my favorite. I tried a few places in Staten Island but this one is the winner! Everyone is so nice. The woman that did my nails took great care of me, cleaned my cuticles nicely, and did a great job on my shape and design. I am picky about my shape and every time i asked her to change/fix something, we was patient and had a great attitude. My nails lasted a whole MONTH! I will be going back next week for my fill in and I am so excited!

RoseMarie Angeles I love coming to this salon!! I also bring my handicapped elderly mother when I go and they always take care of her . And Angie who does my nails is awesome !! I show her a picture of a nail design and she mimics it perfectly on my nails !!!

Nicole MaeNg I go here consistently, prices are good, staff is nice, i make appointments and usually never have to wait, I also really like the pedicures too. Gives me a euphoric feeling of when it was 10 years ago getting my nails done. lol i like

Marmora Patrick I don’t really do reviews but this place was very, very, very poor. Today, I decided to give this place a chance. However, I genuinely wish I didn’t. This was the worst experience I ever had. The manager so rude , not nice at all. They did not have the several colors that I preferred. She made me pay extra for absolutely nothing, when I already paid extra for powder gel, for a total of $61, they took money off of me for changing the powder gel that THEY were mistaken for and THEY gave me the wrong color but I was punished. Very poor staff, very unprepared to work and VERY unprofessional service. She is a thief and WILL take your money. Do not go to her. And I chooses for their collection but they don’t have for two colors I picked light gold and milk color both of them don’t have !

Kerry Lee I came here a few times! Very quick and smooth experience and their service is good! I would say, only come to this place if your design is simple as I think the nail techs aren’t very skilled with intricate details but simple manicures are amazing here! Also great prices

Danielle Naismith Horrible, horrible, horrible. I went there and got a gel manicure and it chipped two times. Sorry but for 50$ my nail shouldn’t be chipping a day later. Second time I went back, one took off all my nails, I thought maybe receptionist said to do them over because they kept chipping. The manager or whoever she is, screamed at her, then yelled at me for not telling her. Manager (wasn’t wearing a name tag) Proceeded to do my nails very aggressively using terms, whatever and let’s go. Did my French white very poorly, and then when I go to leave silently, she came at me. I am very dissatisfied and suggest everyone take their business elsewhere. Greenhill nails is a few doors down and I will now be trying them because I hear they have wonderful customer service.

JoyOfMyLife I routinely get my nails done here and I always love the results! My most recent visit I got my nails done based on a design I found on Pinterest to match my outfits I was wearing to an upcoming convention and she did a great job replicating the design!

Judy Nardiello i have been going here since 2010, I love this place. relaxing, never hurried. Great nail techs. very reasonably priced services. cant say enough good things about this place. treat yourself to a spa pedicure!!

Ashley Cheng Ive never gotten acrylic nails before, but I figured since Im about to go on my Bachelorette, I would give it a try. I was told by many different people who highly recommended this place, and I have to agree. I absolutely love my nails! They also did great for my pedicure, and I loved it, too. I was able to give the nail tech an image of what I wanted, and she copied it perfectly! I highly suggest this place!

Marla Zabala Shout out to Brandon! Amazing work! I think I found my new permanent nail salon! It was seamless, they were able to sit me down as soon as I got to the salon (I made an appointment over the phone) and showed my Nail tech the nail design I wanted and he absolutely delivered! Thank you!

Sarah Sebastiano if i could give no stars i would. i’ve been coming to blooming nails for quite a while now. I came in and got a spa pedicure (which felt very rushed and not relaxing at all) as well as a fill in on my acrylics. it has only been a week and 5 nails have already popped off and 2 of them damaged my natural nails ripping part of my natural nail off. The gel polish was also completely chipped on my toes. My thumb has absolutely no polish on it what so ever, the gel completely peeled off. The lady who did my nails completely rushed the whole process and did not allow my nails to dry long enough. it was a very poor job. I called and explained the situation to let them know that because of your worker my natural nail is now very much damaged and in pain because again i’m missing part of my natural nail. I asked for a refund or even a store credit they wouldn’t even give me that. So i spent over $100 just for my nails to come off within a week, have my natural nails damaged? no. They most definitely do not stand behind their work. Don’t even waste your time coming here.

Jacklyn Peczek Gel started peeling after 1 week, this shouldn’t happen. They never applied a bottom coat, barely let it dry and didn’t allow me to wash my hands before painting. This now caused fungus to grow under the acrylic power. Very annoying and won’t be wasting my money and time here again. Now I have to pay someone to fix my nails, ridiculous. (Picture is 2.5 weeks after service, these usually last me 3 weeks tops and still look perfect) Go to Hugenot nails instead!!!!

Kennex Tang Salon under new management. Price is reasonable and service is excellent. I had a relaxing time while I was doing pedi and mani. The place is clean and welcoming. I had the gel polish and it looks so good. The staff took the time and effort to make sure my nails came out great. Really appreciate!

Christina Cullen I’ve been going to Miya Nail Spa for almost three years now, and I’ve never been disappointed! I always get UV gel manicures, and my nails are stronger than ever. The Milk and Honey Pedicure is amazing—it includes a honey scrub, clay therapy, callus remover, and a super relaxing 10-minute massage. My feet always feel so smooth and refreshed afterward! The technicians are fantastic and really take their time to make sure everything is perfect. I always leave happy. Highly recommend giving them a try!

Eyewear Addict They did a cute holiday design for me. Shop always looks pretty clean too. Would go back again.

A R I was recommended to go to Hana nails by a good friend of mine who regularly goes to joy. Upon my arrival to the salon I was seated 20 mins after my appointment time with a different woman who wasnt joy, They didn’t ask me or tell me if this was ok, they just sat me down with her and I’m thinking that this is Joy. I don’t know the woman’s name who did my nails but all I know is I will never return it was the worst gel manicure I’ve ever gotten in my life and I’ve been doing my nails for about eight years. Not only was she rude she kept answering her phone every five minutes she filed down my nails so much that my cuticles were raw, and what normally takes me two hours took 1. I left that Salon with crooked nails. It was so bad to the point where I did an about face when I left & asked them to redo these because I couldn’t leave the salon with the way my nails looked, They sent me back with the same girl who messed up my nails and she made them even more crooked than the first time. They charged me $85 and all they could tell me was they were sorry, they even called my cellphone to apologize again. But they still kept my money!! Now a week later my nail broke if I’m paying $85 for my nails they should last more than a week. I will never return to this establishment and I will never recommend this place to anybody, everybody should avoid this place by all means.

Haydee Correa I used to go here for bikini waxes. One day I noticed a couple of the Asian men who work there standing inside the store. They disappeared after I asked for a wax. As I was looking up at the false ceiling, waiting to get my wax done, I saw one of the ceiling tiles diagonally across from where I was lying down being removed and one of the men I had previously seen outside of the store poked his head through the ceiling in an attempt to catch a glance of my lady parts! DISGUSTING! When I noticed him, I quickly got up and told the woman who was supposed to do my wax. She didnt understand or acted like she didnt. When the man saw I had noticed him, he quickly stuck his head back up into the ceiling and replaced the tile. Luckily, the lady had not started yet. I told her what I had observed. She acted like she didnt understand English. I left. I shouldve called the police. God knows how many times that peeping Tom has done that to unsuspecting female customers! DO NOT GO THERE FOR WAXES!!!
