I love this salon - I moved nearby back in august and I’ve been here three times already and they do a great job with my nails. Rachel is so friendly and does a great, thorough job! I think it’s a solid place for simple, clean nails and they listen to what you want. Every time I’ve gone so far, I’ve gotten powder and it lasts forever (like a month plus lol) gonna go back again for sure.

This salon is right by my apartment so I thought I’d give it a try. I was extremely disappointed. First, the place was extremely dirty inside. I asked for dip with natural color and they charged $70. The guy didn’t understand what I wanted and gave me a French instead of the natural I wanted (showed him 3 pics as well). Then at the end he just tells me to wash my hands and that’s it… no hot towel, no lotion/massage. Never asked me if I liked it. Definitely the worst salon I’ve gone to in NY.

Stop telling black customers to pick darker colors because YOU don’t like light colors on brown skin. The older female nail tech was argumentative about my color choice, saying that it was too light for me AKA I’m too dark so I should only choose certain colors. I answered with “can I choose the color I like?” She went out of her way to demonstrate how the color is too light for me by demonstrating how it looks on her, then trying to convince me to choose a color she thinks is better. I can literally guarantee they don’t tell white/Asian customers that they should only choose certain colors. If Karen wants pink, white, or even black they’d do it without questioning them.I also asked for a color change on my gel nails since I recently had a manicure already at this exact location. She told me I could only get a full manicure because it’s gel ($40 for nails, $15 for regular color change on toes). My nails are still filed, my cuticles are already clipped, I only wanted a different color. I didn’t argue about their store policy, I simply walked out and went to another salon.The next salon I went to didn’t argue with me about my color choice, and it came out just the way I wanted it to! They also did a gel color change for $25 ($15 for regular on toes) instead of forcing me to get a full gel manicure. They were so nice and complimented my choice, finishing with a shoulder massage. I tipped $15 to the tech because I was so pleased.It’s 2023–if I can’t get treated fairly, I take my money to the next place who can.**2 point because I had an EXCELLENT first experience with the two male techs**

Disappointing experience.I recently visited as a walk-in to have my gel nails removed. The service I requested solely involved removing gel nails using a machine, with no additional treatments. However, I was surprised to find that the cost for this service was $20 ($21 if you pay with card + I paid tip), which I personally feel is quite high for the area. I would have appreciated knowing the price beforehand.Furthermore, during the process, the technician abruptly switched to another customer without informing me or offering any explanation. This sudden change left me feeling ignored and neglected, which was quite impolite. Also it’s not good to have the removing chemical/liquid on nails for a long time - but he just left me like that. I believe a little communication could have gone a long way in avoiding such a disappointing experience.

I enjoyed my powder gel manicure here. It is hard to say what the regular price may be, because I did have a (UV Hard) Gel manicure that they had to work to remove, so I'm not sure if there was a charge for that. I left paying $63 on my CC which I was happy with. My tech was friendly, well-spoken and worked with me to achieve the shape and color I wanted.Service: Dip powder

Rachel did such an amazing job with my nails. I got SNS french nails with tips. My nails feel so strong and they look super natural! Rachel was also so sweet and so nice to talk to throughout the entire process. She made me feel comfortable and not afraid to let her know if there was anything about my nails that I wanted to change. She really took the time to shape them the way I wanted. She's also super knowledgeable about SNS dip nails.

Visited Rachel’s Nail Salon for the first time today. I called ahead to explain my idea and ask if they could do it, and they said they could and to come on down! When I got there about 45 minutes later, they remembered my phone call. The person who did my nails pulled it off really well! Very friendly atmosphere. I’ll definitively be back!

Worst manicure ever. Sitting here in the salon posting this immediately after - that's how bad it was. Made appointment ahead of time, yet still had to wait an hour and a half. The guy doing my service cut me a bunch of times, and never apologized (you can see the blood in the photos). I asked for long and round, and I got short claws? The nails are Uneven and badly shaped. When I told them I didn't feel comfortable paying full price, due to all of the above, they told me they would do it good next time" and gave me a $5 discount. Do not go here.
