DJ Colorful Nail Salon — Local services in New York

I came in today for hard gel removal ($6) and a manicure ($12). The tech who was helping me was not friendly. She was only friendly when she was using the metro card to pry the hard gel off my real nails and it hurt. If I had soaked the nails off, which I was prepared to pay for it ($15), it would've been less painful and I'm confused why she started with the metro card option. The nail salon is super dirty and old. Doesn't seem like anything is sanitized. Once the hard gel was off, she used an electric file to file my nails which left them paper thin. Worst manicure I've had in my life. Bowl of borderline cold water, poor shaping/filing, she cut my cuticles and cut me 4x on 4 different fingers - didn't say sorry just pretended it didn't happen, poor application of Essie polish. My nails look bumpy and uneven re shape and polish. It's like she was trying to use the least amount of polish possible.

Nails look horrible and I won't...

I came here a few days ago. The young girl who did my regular manicure and pedicure was extremely nice however before she finished my manicure, she said I had to pay for the service first. I asked why because the service was not even completed yet. She said some dumb excuse like it’s policy and that “it’s regular polish”. It made no sense at all but I just gave it, I was very tired to fight and was in a rush. I even gave her tip because she seemed sweet and was not sure if her manager forced her to enforce this stupid policy or maybe she was racist, I will never know. I was extremely upset and will never be coming back here. My nails chipped less than 24 hours and in previous appointments, they’re always harsh with my nails and cause painful...

Never did a review before but I figured I should warn the girlies then I saw the previous reviews and it says it all this was a horrible experience. Salons are pushing press ons I asked about the nail having an apex they looked at me like I have 2 heads. Simple nail inspo was coming out horrific when I spoke up before this person wasted anymore of their time on it I got blamed for colors I picked I explained it’s not the color, I spoke up and of course the workers there started talking about me in another language. That never stops being uncomfortable $60 later and my hands being under a lamp almost the entire process I left with a solid color...
