Choi's Nails — Local services in Town of North Hempstead

I’ve gone here in the past because I had purchased a Groupon for a pedicure with a 10 minute foot massage. The person doing my pedicure was a man, and he gave an amazing massage, amazing pedicure, I recently went back to try to get the same service. The man wasn’t working that day, so I decided I would get a pedicure anyway with a 10 minute massage. I have to have a gel pedicure on my toes, which I wanted removed and redone with a regular pedicure. I was told it would be a $10 charge to remove the gel from my toes. The woman doing the pedicure, proceeded to drill my gel, pedicure off my toes. I attempted to stop her and say that I wanted my toes to be soaked with cotton and acetone as would happen with a manicure. There was a language barrier, so another aesthetician there, and another customer, both attempted to help me communicate with my pedicure Technician. I insisted that I wanted my nails to soak, because when people drill the Gel off my nail, it hurts, and it makes my nails thin when they are normally very thick and strong The woman kept insisting that she was doing what I wanted as she continued to drill the gel off my toenails. At the end of the day, I ended up, just letting her do it, because I was frustrated that I wasn’t about to have her remove half of my gel pedicure, that way, and then not remove the whole thing. Although she repeatedly insisted that she was only drilling off the top layer that she could remove the rest of the pedicure the way I was asking, she proceeded to use the nail file, the nail drill, to go back back-and-forth between the two, and drill off my gel pedicure. When I left the salon, my toenails were so thin that I am almost immediately stubbed my toe and broke my toenail I will never go back there for a pedicure again. It was so disappointing to have someone make me remove a gel, nail a certain way, and then still charge...

This place used to be good, not anymore . I went there with my mom to do regular pedicure and gel manicure with tips,When I asked them for the gel manicure they said it will be $5 more than the powder one and I said that’s okay with me but the lady proceeded to do powder base for me and my mom and when I asked her she said oh it’s just the base , it will look good and I’m going use the gel nail polish. Whatever I didn’t had it in me to say no to that , Iasked her again if she’s okay doing gel manicure and she was oh yes. Anyway at the end my nails ended up looking so bulky and I showed the lady that she gave me soo much attitude for pointing it out and ended up fixing one nail and I didn’t had time to do the rest either . And a day later this is how my nails look now . And this is not the first time this happened to me , first time I thought may because I didn’t take care of it but look at my nails on the 2nd day after I did it . It’s sad that I used to go this place all the time and it’s getting worse recently .i don’t want anyone else to get the same thing as it happens to me .oh let me add one more thing when i told them i want oval shape she charged me another $5 extra for that, which also i was okay with if my nails stayed...

Am in love with this place. I came pretty late in the day, about 40 minutes before closing. They were still able to fit me in for an acrylic fill in. Linda did a wonderful job. She effortlessly reshaped my nails from coffin to a perfect stiletto shape. (Most nail artists I've been to can't even do a proper stiletto shape from scratch, nevermind to reshape coffin to stiletto. Other nail techs end up giving you a weird lopsided egg-shaped nail) Linda even took her time to carefully file the underside of my nails, and check all angles and lengths of my nails. She skillfully fixed one of my nails that was painfully broken. She painted my nails beautifully, and the leopard print design was gorgeous. She didn't rush because I was her last client. Such a refreshing way to be treated so well here at Choi's, after so many poor experiences with lazy nail techs who see you as just...
