Excellent work. It's been three weeks already and my powder mani is still on, haven't cracked or chip at all. Also she is made in a very good nail shape and the powder coating so thin and natural so it looks like a gel. More than five stars!

Don’t recommend- very rushed like they have an army of clients waiting- NOT- worst dip polish ever and barely any attempt to fix- amateurs - go somewhere else if you are looking for professionals

terrible, terrible, terrible! if i could give this establishment -0 stars, i most definitely would! i went in for a powder gel service completely unaware that the tech i sat with had nooooo idea what she was doing! it started with my soak off.. (she didn't even know how to do that!) anyway, i sat down gave her my nails & she went to work.. legit only soaked my nails in acetone for about 8 mins & started to file down my nails (with a manual file).. she filed down soo much that my natural nails were red & burning!! not only did she file down too much, but she was ripping the left over dip powder from my natural nails *ouchhh*! after the terrible soak off.. she proceeded to place my fingers in a bowl of water *i was confused because i've never had to do this with dip powder, but okay* (i was "trusting the process") after 5 mins of the water bowl soak she started cleaning my cuticles.. after she was done with the cuticles she begins to paint my nails with the activator & dip them into the powder *now here is where i began to get upset*... she is dipping my nails into the powder, but she is not brushing off the excess powder after every dip & then she asks " if i wanted to leave it at 2 dips or if i would like her to dip them for a 3rd time" i looked at her with so much confusion.. like mam' what do you think.. anywho, she leaves it with 2 dips & starts to file & shape my nails... after she shaped them she started painting my nails with CLEAR NAIL POLISH & takes me to the nail dryer.. omg! i took a look at my nails under the natural sunlight & i immediately said NO! & told her to take this off now!! *with a confused look on her face* she asked me, "what happened, what was it that i didn't like" & i told her they look horrible! it was gritty, sloppy & disgusting.. (it looked like a child did my nails!)she takes me back to her table & begins the horrible soak off process.. omg, i left there with my nails in soo much pain!!! still one month later & my nails are still healing!!! if you can help it, please, please, please STAY AWAY from PEMA NAILS!!!!!!!!!

I’m sorry for this place but beware this place is a SCAM! They do not use gel for gel manicure , they only use gel coat for gel manicure . Gel doesn’t get sticky after it has been through the light it actually wouldn’t even be removed with acetone. Scammers

I came to Pema for a spa pedicure and a manicure and was completely satisfied with my experience. I felt the place was clean and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I ended up doing a lavender spa pedicure because although I really wasn't aware what it involved I wanted the extra pampering and calus removed and it came w a foot and leg massage . Every time I thought my pedicure was finished they did more things. In the future I will come back for a regular pedicure and maybe do the fancier one once or twice a year. I was happy w my experience so much I plan to come back once or twice a month for a basic manicure and pedicure. I must not be the only one because there was plenty of people hear enjoying a variety of treatments

First time for a pedi and I would say one of my best experiences.. even that it was my first time and felt a little bit awkward as the only man in there the ladies working there were very polite and helpful so my awkwardness left right away. They even poured me a glass of red wine and had a massage chair that almost made me fall asleep. I don't know about pricing as it was my first time so I can't compare.

I come here all the time for mani/pedi:eyebrow. I bring my own color and come off hours so there isn't any wait. The whole staff is lovely. I have been going to them since my kids where in strollers and now they are young teenagers. Everyone in this place is awesome. Do not hesitate to come here. Nyoman and her partner are the best.

Great service and prices. The nail techs are so sweet and accommodating unlike many other nail salons that are rude.I drive across Queens to get my gel nails done here due to their mannerisms and my nails don’t chip after a few days.Definitely going to become a regular here! :)

WORST experience at a nail salon. If you’re doing gel, they don’t wrap your nails in foil, instead they have you dunking your nails in the acetone. In addition, they’re all wearing gloves so they don’t fully take off the polish and smooth out before applying new gel. I ended up not doing gel because I saw the residue. I told the lady and she quickly brushed, thinking that would suffice. ??♀️ ended up just having clear polish. Never going back. No one should go here either.

The ladies provide great customer service and are always friendly & happy. Definitely not like the other nail salons close by, with no customer service.A bit on the pricey side, but I will pay that considering the service is always there!Service: Pedicure

Love this spot. It's been years since I moved south but whenever I come for a visit, I try to hit them up. They are still here, working hard, and always with welcoming smile and laugh.

Edit 2: I have removed the polish because my fingernails were so sore. HEAVILY DAMAGED, including scratches on the surface of my nail and even pieces of nail peeling right out from the nailbed. I can feel my nails bend even while doing something so mundane as scratch myself. Please do not visit this establishment they will damage your nails. Posting image of the after (polish removal), just one day post-manicure.Edit: had to drop to 1 stars because both index finger nails are sore the next day.I had a manicure and pedicure experience here. Although the ladies here are really nice and provide good customer service, and a surprise 4 minute massage during drying, overall I would not recommend it. I opted for a dip powder manicure and regular pedicure.During the manicure they filed my previous gel manicure off multiple times while the acetone did its thing. After the gel fell off however, they continued to file the top of the nail off. I was confused at this point but I'm not the professional here so I did not interrupt the process. After filing off the top of my nails, they also buffed them. So for the manicure, they dipped approximately 6 times and afterwards she proceeded to file the top of the manicure again! Yes, my manicure is not smooth at all, it is grainy looking and inconsistent.The pedicure was much better but I noticed they removed gel polish by peeling it on one toe. I am used to gel removal by soaking for ~20 minutes and then a plastic scraper, which is much gentler on the nails.All said and done, my nails were noticeably weaker. Sadly, the C curve on my nail is also less apparent. My nails are usually strong and can take a lot but having them filed down from the top really messed them up. The price for dip powder is about ~$50, for the price the quality is not there.
