Cutie Calls

I decided to try this place out after walking by it many times and seeing the $ 20 mani/​pedi advertised. I honestly don’t think that a mani/​pedi should cost much more than that anyways unless you get something special. The woman that helped me was sweet and attentive and asked me if I wanted to get my calluses removed for $ 10 more dollars and I said ok as my calluses were pretty bad. She did a good job overall, my nails looked great (but chipped the next day) but to be honest the callus removal was ineffective. The place itself isn’t the cleanest of places or the most stylish but it gets the job done. And the staff were super nice and attentive. I will definitely be back. The place was really busy on a Monday night as well which makes me think they are always busy.

Went in for a gel manicure and pedicure.
Firstly, call me a nail snob but in this day and age, you really have to have fake nail plastics showing the colors of your gel selections. The bottle looks completely different than the actual color on the nail. So, they don’t have these. And I chose a color that said NEON. There were only about 2 other «neon» options and they were pink. When she started on my nails it was not neon orange at all. They tried to substitute it and kept bringing me pinks and corals which were not at all the same as bright neon orange. Almost every other shop in the hood has these in their variety, it’s not a rare thing. But that’s okay…
After my toes were done I asked to go look for another color for my gel nails. When I went over and stared opening bottles to see what they really looked like, a woman who seemed like the owner asked me if I could just come back tomorrow because they want to close soon and I’m taking too long. There were about 4 other customers in there, and I was probably up there for one minute. At that point I decided to not finish the manicure, dried my toes and left.
Another thing, they soaked my hands directly in a giant bowl of acetone to get the gel off. Not safe or healthy.
I wouldn’t write a review for a shop having a limited color option, but to ask me to come back tomorrow when it’s 8pm and they close at 830 is crazy rude. Especially when there’s literally 6 other nail shops within a stone’s throw of theirs, I won’t be returning.

Stopped in after brunch and was pleasantly surprised! Wonderful service, inexpensive, and quick! We didn’t have to wait at all. There were lots of technicians staffed. Will certainly be back if we’re ever in the area.

TIL I won’t make the mistake of hastily getting an emergency pedicure here when Won (sp?) is not here unless I want to leave with two different sized big toe nails again.
She’s the only person who does the spa pedicure the way it’s supposed to be so don’t waste your time with anyone else (also left with loads of dry skin on my feet). Be sure to call ahead and book with her bc sometimes she’s at their other (more expensive) salon on Bedford Ave.

Love this spot — been coming for years. Invest in leveling up one on the pedicure and you won’t regret it.

The foot soak was cold and I had to ask for new files/​scrubs because they’re using gnarly dirty supplies. The lady SPED through and very clearly hated me even though I asked very politely. I think from start to finish she did the whole thing in like 8 damn minutes! Look, I’m sorry LADY but I’m not tryin to catch someone’s ratchet foot fungus today. I shouldn’t have had to ask for clean files AT ALL. Check your OSHA handbooks, yo. Damn.

Horrible experience. Nail tech was very rude and kept rushing me to choose my nail color even though the salon was empty. Then insisted on charging me an extra $ 2 for the color I wanted. They also refused to wrap my friend’s nails for gel removal even though she explained she did not want to dip her hands in a bowl of acetone; that they reused for another customer that walked in after us. poor selection of gel color. Very poor customer service. Too many other great nail salons in the area to settle on this one.

I’ve been going to Cutie Calls for years, since it was called Siss Nails. It’s my favorite nail salon in an area full of nail salons. It’s not the fanciest place in the world, but they are friendly and attentive. They recently expanded their polish selection-​now it’s huge.
If you can get her, Julie (the proprietor) is the absolute best! She is very gentle with waxing, and gives a great massage.

Love it. Nice ladies. Clean salon. Good job. Relaxing time. Close to my place. Cheap $ 8/​manicure. Favorite nail salon in the area.

They suck!!! It took 3 people before I got my pedi because I asked for a design and no one could do it!!! The women even said we dont do gel tips you should stay with other nail salon! Never going back

One of my favorite nail spots in this part of Brooklyn. *Julie* is amazing. The prices are great and the quality of service is great.
No fancy add-​ons, but they do a terrific job.
My manicures last forever, chipfree. Color selection is really good, but cluttered and unorganized.

Let me first start by saying you get what you pay for. My mani/​pedi came to $ 23 before tip.
First, the girl started the water for my feet then disappeared. One of the other workers had to come by and shut it off when they saw it was going to overflow. Eventually she came back and was talking on her cell while she was working on me. When she got to the point of scrubbing my heels she was scrubbing SO hard that my ankle started to bleed! I Unilocaled a little bit and she finally realized she was killing me!
THEY USE TORN PAPER TOWELS AS TOE SEPARATORS! WHO DOES THAT?! She also didn’t put ANY topcoat on my toes!
When the girl moved me to work on my hands, she disappeared again for another 5 minutes! When she came back, she started talking on her cell again! She tried to be nice at the end of the appointment, but that was because I was about to pay…
I.WILL.NEVER.GO.BACK.
EVER.

Shiba (sp?) was my nail technician when I came in for a manicure. It’s $ 9 and she did a great job. Even included a short back massage while I was drying my nails.
Love the shape of my nails and how they turned out. My cuticles look great. The salon was clean and the pedicure chairs look really comfortable.
Will be back if I don’t find a good nail salon near the new area I am moving too.

Manicure chipped after a day. The staff was very nice but very pushy, constantly trying to upsell. Will stick to my regular place — Agua de la Vida — much better and cheaper too.

The first time I went there I got a gel manicure that came off in 1 week. I vowed never go to back and stick to Primp and Polish but I was on a time crunch and they are down the street from me. So I made an appt for 10 am for a pedicure the next day. When I went in they had no idea what I was talking about. The woman in charge told me to sit down. I did and after 10 minutes I asked how long it would be and she said an hour! Worst service ever. I’ll stick to my regular salon where my manis last and they actually understand the concept of appointments.

This place is a good, well-​priced nail salon for the area. The workers are friendly, attentive, and give a really nice manicure and/​or pedicure. I never have to wait too long, and I’ve always been happy with the results. It’s not as fancy or upscale as some places, but for those places, you’ll pay a premium. If you want a solid, not-​too-​expensive nail job, this is the place. Very clean and comfy!

I’m surprised this place has gotten any bad reviews! I consider myself very picky when it comes to my mani/​pedi/​chair massages, and I love this place! I have gone in on several occasions and always have different people doing my manis and pedis and they have all been very slow, relaxing, give great massages, and are extremely nice. The thing I hate about most salons is that they are so RUSHED and trying to get your out of there — that is not very relaxing to me!
Many of the women remember me when I come in and ask how my baby is doing, and I am always surprised they even remember me.
The other thing that has kept me coming back is the price! Only $ 20 for a pedi?!! Its so cheap that you can splurge on an extra 10 minute massage. I can no longer go anywhere else!

Currently the closest place to my house so this is now my new regular nail place.
It’s good, not great. The ladies are all very friendly and helpful. When my friend couldn’t decide what color to do for a party that night the gal helped her create the right shade by layering different colors. It was really great!
The manicure and pedicure are pretty standard. It’s a clean nice place with updated magazines and good massaging chairs. The frequent nail card is one that actually prints the date and amount you spent rather than a punch card which I think is cool.
After the mission to find a decent place, I am pretty well settled here.

I’ve tried every nail salon in my hood. Cutie Calls is the best, hands down!
Big and clean.
Nice ladies who listen to specific nail care requests.
REALLY GREAT gel manicures!
Can watch Lifetime Movie Network without shame.
Sorta pricey, but they have a frequent buyers card on which you receive credit for 10% of your bill. Once your card has over $ 10, you can redeem it. For instance, I get a gel manicure and a pedicure each time I visit for $ 54. After two visits, I had $ 10.80 credit towards my next visit… making a gel manicure and a pedicure only $ 43.20 and that’s awesome!

My friends come here all the time so i decided to stop by.
$ 23 is more than i usually pay for my mani/​pedi combo but my salon has closed down (probably because she wasn’t charging that extra 3 bucks).
anyway…
friendly staff, trashy lifetime TV, CLEAN comfy pedicure chairs, and they offer coffee.
Mina, offered me additional services, i politely declined and she wasn’t offended in the least. still did a fabulous job AND when i put my hands under the dryer she tossed my ponytail to the side and gave me a quick neck rub that i certainly needed.
I’ll be back!
(and they do UV Gel nails)
