Umi Nail & Spa — Local services in New York

I’m new to the area and on the hunt for a new nail salon. Unfortunately, this won’t be it.

The pedicure was okay, but the tech was very rough. She used a sharp tool to clean around and under the nail, and it was painful.

I wanted powder for my hands, but they didn’t have a color that matched the gel on my toes. I opted to do a gel manicure instead.

I had a powder manicure when I came in, which only needs to be soaked off. My nails had already been soaked, why would the tech then proceed with removing the already soft polish with a drill? My natural nails were so thin and bendy after he was done.

They insisted I do a layer of acrylic because my natural nails are long and it would make it stronger. I don’t know why they insisted on acrylic when they clearly don’t know how to shape the nails properly. All my nails look different. I asked the tech to make it thinner and fix the apex. After another round of drilling, they still don’t look good.

I noticed there was some leftover color under my nails and asked him to clean it. He pulled out the drill again??? I stopped him before he could make my nails even thinner and weaker than they already were. The color could be removed with acetone, there’s just no reason to use something so harsh on someone’s natural nails.

There was no actual manicure. Just drilling off the existing color and then sloppy application of acrylic and gel. No attention to detail.

I was running late for a graduation so I honestly just let him finish, paid and left. This is just another drill happy salon without properly trained techs. I won’t be coming back and don’t recommend to anyone, especially if you want to maintain the health of your...

I don’t like leaving bad reviews but if you going to offer a service you should know how to correctly perform the service. I’m a business owner in town from Chicago on business I had a couple hours to kill before my flight out and I stopped in because I had broken a nail and desperately needed a fill ( I had a medium length pink n white set. We agreed to find a pink that was as close as possible to what I had with the understanding it wouldn’t be a perfect match (totally fine by me) the problem was the “tech” could NOT lay the acrylic I don’t think she knew how or was just very inexperienced the powder was all clumpy and uneven the ombré or what was supposed to be ombré was not even close to blended (on the nail that was broken and needed to be replaced) I stopped her 3 times with my concerns and she kept thinking my issue was the color when my issue was there was absolutely no apex or shape no blending it was an all around disaster I’ve had my nails Done in NC & SC, New Ss Jersey, Philli, Cali, KY, TN, Indiana, MN continually in Chicago and I have never had a tech that couldn’t lay acrylic I was shocked i was experiencing it in New York or all places, I was getting on a plane home n so I finally just stood up and told her I’m sorry if you’d like me to pay you something for your time I’ll gladly do so but I’m going to cut these off and start over with my regular tech I’m extremely disappointed. She did not ask me to pay anything however back to my original statement when you’re offering a service you need to know how to correctly perform...
