NY Lovely Nails & Spa — Local services in New York

DO NOT GO HERE! I went on a Tuesday for a GEL manicure. A lady named Maya (I believe) did my nails. Everything seemed fine, clean, and they had good costumer service (hence the 2 stars) until my friend and I were about to leave. We didn't even finish paying and the worker demanded a tip. This didn't bother me much, HOWEVER, 3 days in: MOST OF MY NAILS WERE CRACKED and CHIPPED by the 5th day!

I went back exactly on week later, asked how long a gel manicure should last and she said about 3 weeks. I then showed her the condition of my nails and she agreed to redo them no charge.

The same woman did my nails and was extremely rude to me. I asked if she can change the color (and told them I truly don't care what color) because I was afraid the nail polish they used was old. Maya rudely responded: "Then why didn't you come in 3 days ago when it happened". I'm sorry? All I asked (respectfully) is it they can change the color to avoid this from happening again. AGAIN, before I left, she demanded me to give her a tip and I refused to. I should not be tipping anyone if I had to come back and get my nails redone. Additionally, she did a TERRIBLE job. 3 days later, my nails are cracking and CHIPPED (as seen in the photos attached). She didn't paint neatly so I had the gel layer on my fingers, and the gel is starting to peel off on my middle finger.

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. They lure you in with their "costumer service"and you'll leave with a...

This place is excellent. I don’t normally do my nails in the city because I live in Queens & it’s usually much cheaper in the other boroughs, but honestly, it wasn’t that much more expensive. I only went because it’s near my job and a had an extra long break with plenty of time.

I love the way this place is set up. It’s nice and big compared to most nail salons that are long and skinny, not much space to move around & very claustrophobic, but this place was large & airy & beautifully decorated. They even have a charging stand for phones, which I didn’t need, but handy for the future.

The lady that worked on me, Anna, was so sweet and did a really great job! She did a gel mani & regular pedi. She asked me if I wanted a 10min foot massage for $12, I said yes, but only because I had been on my feet all week at work and I wanted it, she wasn’t pushy about it at all. She even gave me a cup of cold water just as I sat down & I didn’t even ask for it, it was great.

It wasn’t too busy when I went either which was a plus, especially since it was a Saturday at 4p, but I think it was because it was raining. I definitely plan on going back & will make an appt just in case because I’m sure the weekends will be busier...

Ok for Gel. Very bad for dipping powder nail polish. I had nail dipping powder done twice here. The person took the paper towel, which had my dead skin, and shake-off the colored dust back into the container then she picked out pieces of skin and nail she could find. She seemed surprised at my disgusted face. I thought maybe she made a mistake went again yesterday (Tuesday 11/27/2018) the person doing my nails did the same thing with a different color only difference is that this time there were many lumps in my nails not sure from what, she tried to buff it and hurt the skin around led my nails. I paid the $45 dollars and left never to return. I did show the lead person my nail and she said she was too busy to fix if I could comeback later but based on the dead skin in the powder the second time I just plan to soak...
