Bloomie Nail Salon

Went a week ago for a pedicure/​gel manicure and I was very pleased with the service. I paid $ 40+tip and was in and out within an hour. Everyone was very nice. The place was clean. And my nails still look good. I’ll definitely be going back and just hope to receive the same experience.

I’m so happy with my French nail polish. I was late customer, but they take care very good. The first thing I just like how she drew my French.

Excellent value.
Came in super late (8pm), hoping to get my nails redone (gel) for NYE. They took great care of me, gave me a massage and the woman was super detail oriented when it came to my nails. (It all came to $ 25 for gel mani)
It’s run by mostly Asian women whose English isn’t great, but they’re very respectful, keep the place tidy, and provide great care for your $$ worth.
Just bring cash to tip then. They’re super nice!

My gel manicures here last a minimum of two weeks.
That said, this is not the cleanest, newest salon around but there are limited options in this part of town. Bloomie is consistent and reasonably priced, so I go here when I need a mani, but this isn’t the kind of place I would take girlfriends for a ‘spa day’.
As for gel, they have heaps of colors and can do custom art/​designs.

Beyond awful. No sanitation, bad service.
It’s cheap, yes. But everything else is horrible. Went there for a «spa pedicure».
Zero for sanitation: they didn’t even bother to get new clean utensils that were from the the UV cleaner thingy. Instead the girl who was helping me just used the same one she had used on the girl before, which was stored in her little box. Disgusting.
The girl who did my nails had no idea what she was doing. She kept asking in Chinese to the other girls how to remove the callus and do the «spa» option. She didn’t know how to use the callus remover or even use the cream for the callus remover. Instead of helping, the other workers just ignored her and after I said something they started screaming somewhat instructions across the room. Still, no one took over her job or helped her.
She took forever, did a horrible job and cut the bottom of my foot with the scrapper.
Over an hour later, she finished. Yes, It took more than an hour for a pedicure, especially since I asked her to stop the so called spa as she was hurting me.
My nails started chipping one day later.
Never ever will go there. Unless you want someone else fungus or a couple of battle wounds just to save a few bucks, walk away.

Very patient and meticulous. Got a pedicure and gel manicure for $ 40. No complaints over here.

Great french gel manicure and regular pedicure. Linda was very meticulous. All the ladies were so nice and made the experience a nice one. I felt comfortable and was very pleased when my nails and toes were all done. Now I just have to see if the gel last 2 weeks and this may be my new regular nail salon. Highly recommended! Note: They don’t do acrylic nails.

I got a gel manicure yesterday evening and several of my nails have already chipped. It’s funny because they were talking about how much more expensive Manhattan salons are. Well, they may be $ 10 more, but I can wear gel from them for two weeks no problems.
Won’t be going back. She also didn’t do a very good job putting an even layer.

This salon is pretty clean and neat. The staffs are really nice. Another plus is the great selection of nail polish. Good thing to know that Bloomie doesn’t do any artificial nails work here. GOOD for the technicians’ health, isn’t it? For those who cannot bear with the smell from the artificial nail powder anymore, definitely recommend you come and check this salon out. I think this is one of the reasons in other Unilocal reviews ppl were saying that Bloomie is clean. It’s from both your sight and scent.
I had my mani and pedi done here for a reasonable price. The staff did my work really took her time and carefully finished what I wanted. My nails look great. I had a relaxing experience here. I will definitely be back.

My cousin introduced me to this salon, where she has been going all the time. I really liked their meticulous work and the welcoming atmosphere. The technician I had was very nice and covered a lot of details, even though I was just doing the basic manicure. She told me she’s been doing this for years, so as the other girls in the store. I will say probably this is why she just knew what I expected. The store was quite neat and clean. I saw that they also try to do some stylish decoration, which is cute. My cousin did both manicure and pedicure, it’s been her routine. And I didn’t mind waiting for her to finish her feet because it just felt comfy there. I will say it is definitely a nice store to check out.

I came here for the positive reviews and so far I agree with them. I went in around 7:40PM. I waited about 30 minutes because al the nail technicians were busy. However, I was told I had to wait once I got there. I got a gel mani and gel pedi. Given the amount of work, I ended up staying there until 9:20PM. The reason for that is the girl doing my nails, Tina, was meticulously finishing my nails. She didn’t penalize me because of the time. She treated me as though it was a Monday afternoon with no one in the shop. I’m happy with the outcome. I appreciate her work and diligence on my nails.

I had high hopes for this place considering it had 5 stars (how it got 5 stars is BEYOND me) but I was sadly disappointed. 1^st on my sh*t list, when I got there early for my 5:30 appt, there was another girl waiting, I saw that she had her pedicure already done but was waiting for her manicure to be done, now I can tell she was waiting for a very long time and finally she spoke up and asked how long she would have to wait, Lisa finally did her nails but I guess it wasn’t to the girls liking cuz another lady had to fix it. Fast forward now, the girl is halfway through the door when EVERY tech YELLS for her to come back and tip! WTF?! No where in that establishment said you HAVE to tip. I was immediately turned ALL the way OFF. Don’t ever make someone feel obligated to tip especially when they feel u don’t deserve it. Anyways, the girl came back in and tipped. I wouldn’t have tipped sh*t! 2^nd on my sh*t list, they knew they was busy and when a customer would come in and ask how long, of course they gave the standard «5 minutes, pick a color» and can I tell you they had these women waiting LONG! 3^rd on my sh*t list, Lisa, the one who did my mani and pedi SUCKED! She half assed the filing and cuticle cutting, she can paint though. She asked me if I just wanted my cuticles pushed back during my mani, I said no, they’re really bad so they need to be cut. She did the ONLY half ass sh*tty job she even filed one nail crooked and I asked her to fix it, she didn’t even do that right! I just wanted to get the fu*k out! The ONLY reason this place even gets 2 stars from me is because they honored my 5:30 appt despite how busy it was and Lisa can paint some toes! ONLY paint! Bottom line, I’m NEVER going back!

I must say, this is one of the better nail salons in Park Slope. My first couple of visits, I have left such a happy customer. I even brought my family members because I love how clean it is, and how well they do the manicures.
I loved the techniques Cici used. She spoke english very well, was happy, and such a genuine person. I was told yesterday that she is has gone back to China. Honestly, I probably would have been very happy. It’s unfortunate that yesterday morning, after reading an article published on 5÷8÷15 in The New York Times, this became difficult for me to digest.
The nail technician that did my nails did not speak English very well, but did a great job painting nails. I wish i got her name. I had to go to work so she was very sensitive with my time. Nonetheless, I did not receive a mini massage with my pedicure (my legs but not my feet. Not sure what this is about).
My nail technician said that my color was ugly for the fingernails (I appreciate the honesty but I was taken back). It was a really pretty metallic color. I also did not receive a massage at the pedicure chair. In my first review, I really commended the employees not speaking their native language around customers.
When individuals are having a conversation in a language you do not speak, that can make the entire experience uncomfortable. You can tell my nail technician was fairly new, and was not accustomed to the culture.
I brought my Mom to get a ten minute foot massage, and a pedicure. She was unbelievably happy with the service. Everything I received, she didn’t (and I am glad because she’s my Mom and the nail technician she had is beyond exceptional).
I have always been accommodated here, and the hospitality is great. Nonetheless, I can’t stop thinking about the article that I read. Perhaps I came in on a Friday. Usually, when I come in they aren’t as busy. Just thought my last experience wasn’t as pleasant as I would have liked it to be.

I have been going to a nail salon near my office in midtown for the past 2 ½ years. Now that I no longer work there, I figured it would be a good time to find a nail salon closer to home.
After finding a nearby salon with good reviews, and calling to confirm that they were open late (I arrived around 7:30 on a Saturday) I headed over to Bloomie Nail Salon. Upon arrival, I could see that the interior was clean and they had an extensive nail polish selection — definite plus for me! Part of the reason why I continued to use a salon near my office rather than home was because I was unimpressed of the cleanliness of nearby salons.
After selecting my polish, I was directed to a pedicure chair. I very much appreciate that it was mentioned that a list of other services/​upgrades was available to look at if I was interested, but it wasn’t pushed on me. I really dislike when salons push you and insist on upcharges. I also mentioned I was interested in upgrading to quick dry top coat for my toes, but the girl pointed out that since I was getting a manicure next, there would be plenty of time for my toes to dry and so there was no need to spend the extra money. I very much appreciated her honesty.
I also appreciated that she discussed if I wanted my cuticles cut or pushed. She looked over my nails, and said that I didn’t need much cutting. She cut very little, while explaining cutting the cuticle when it isn’t necessary just turns it into a bigger problem in the long run. I also loved the manicure! When she was done with my hands, the woman next to me remarked that it looked like I was wearing acrylic nails with gel but it was my own nails with regular polish.
I will definitely be back!

Everyone is very friendly. The place is clean. I’ve seen it get very busy on a weekend, but if you make an appt you will get priority.
Update: I was coming here about once every 1 – 2 months and most of the employees knew me. one Saturday I kept calling to make an appt for a pedicure for my mom and I — line was busy so I tried to stop in. they acted like they had never seen me before and told me to come back but call before I did; I tried to explain that I’ve been calling and something might be wrong with the phone, but no one really cared :(definitely disappointed

When it comes to simple choices over something as delightful as color selection (I make a hobby of reading every single color on anything ranging from crayons to cars; nail polishes fall neatly in between), my status as a Libra shines through. It simply cannot be done without careful consideration of each. Fortunately, Cici and Lisa, the two ladies in attendance at Bloomie, guided me through until they helped me find the most suitable shade for my complexion.
Both were extremely thorough in what they did (Lisa buffed, filed, and laid down the base coat and Cici did the polish and shoulder massage). They were both so friendly. Not only were they patient with my hemming and hawing over color, they were patient with my Mandarin skills (while they speak English, they wanted to give me the chance to practice, which I really appreciate).
By the time I walked out, my nails were perfectly feminine (a luxurious rarity for me) and beautiful. Cinderella never had a manicure (to my knowledge) but if she did, it would look like what Cici and Lisa helped me achieve.
多谢你们！

Bloomie looked nice. A small neat space. As I entered a nail tech approached me and I enquired about their services. I told her I use 3 sometimes 4 different shades at one time and I showed her pictures of my past services. She said it that was no problem the cost will be $ 25. I agreed to it, I usually pay anyway between $ 20-​$ 28 sans tip.
I had a wait of about 15 mins and that too was fine because the shop was so cozy and pleasant.
When my turn came they gave me the password for their free wifi and I sat back to enjoy my service as I Unilocaled.
After she was finished filing my nails she asked which colours I chose. I showed her the 4. She immediately started speaking in a foreign language to her co-​workers. She then turned to me and said «$ 35». I was like arrrmmm what?!? I reminded her of our exchange when I came in but she just kept on saying «I know I know but 35 dollars». Now if that’s their price that’s the price right. What I don’t like is when you try to have sex with me without my consent. I told you what I wanted, PICTURES WERE SHOWN, you gave me a price and suddenly it’s gone up? Homey don’t play that way. I stopped backing and forthing (is that even a word?) with her and I said «I’m sorry but I’m not paying that». Thanks but no thanks.
I packed my things and left. As I walked out the store was on fire! They were rattling back and forth in a language I don’t understand but I was unfazed. It’s certainly’s not the price but definitely the principle. Her up sell turned what could have been a pleasant experience for us both (because my tip would have surpassed her price if I was pleased) turned sour.
I cannot speak on their procedure seeing I had none. One star for the cleanliness and general feel of the place before the storm hit.
The End.

Great place. Small, and they take their time, but has proven worth it! They offer $ 25 gel manicures which I find a steal, especially for the quality. I’ve gotten «complicated» gel mani’s the last two times and they came out beautifully! Highly recommend this place, for sure.

I’m kind of terrible at being a girlie girl. Admittedly, I’ll go for sprints where I’m great at keeping up with my grooming/​primping rituals, my manicures and hair will be all on point … but then in-​between all the cycling/​running/​bootcamp sessions, it all falls by the wayside and things go downhill … FAST. I neglected my hands for quite some time after a long stint of being really good about them, and finally decided to get my digits buffed out.
Bloomie recently opened in the ‘hood and amongst a sea of competitors, I must say I was pleasantly surprised! $ 25 for a gel manicure with an accent nail is a great price, especially in our area, and the salon is brand spankin’ new so it’s still got that shiny shiny clean vibe going for it.
The nail technician that helped me out was very sweet and gentlehanded (something that I have issues with often since my cuticles grow quickly and often need a LOT of TLC treatment), and we had a lovely conversation in Mandarin the entire time (note to self: brush up on my conversational Mandarin, d’oh).
Overall I was super happy with the experience and my nails are back to lookin’ fab. I’ll definitely be hitting Bloomie as my go-​to from now on!

This place has promotion of 20% off and price are more reasonable that the other nail salons in the neighbourhood. I picked the organic spa pedicure with mandarin and mango extract. It improved the brightness, refines texture and reduces skin irritation and includes a 10 minutes relaxing foot massage.
There leg mask and Vivian wrapped in plastic and exfoliated to removed callous on the heel .
Then put a sugar based topic
She gave my tips on how to take care of my feet at home back in Canada :
After exfoliating my feet after daily showing
Then put Vaseline on on heel and pressure area after
Then wear socks
The nail colour selection was fantastic and they have these retro «nail dri» station. While your nails are being dried, you also receive a nice back rub by staff also during the exfoliation treatment the chairs also can give back rubs.
This is a great place to get treated well and remain on budget. I feel so relaxed after a long day of shopping,
Thank you everyone at the salon, they all good whoever you get,
I will be back here in 2 weeks to try the gel manicure,
