Grace Cc Nail Spa

Dishonest Worker!!! I’ve been going to Graces for the past 3 years. It was recommended to me by my BFF mainly because she had a good first experience and thought that because it was located so close to my home, that I should check it out. My first time went well. Mani and Pedi were ok. My second experience was in 2014 prior to going on my carribbean Vacay. I asked for a pedi and gel manicure. I thought the pedi was excellent, however the mani was not impressive. The nail polish used seemed to be thinned out and the lady had to apply several coats. By the time I boarded the plane the next day, the gel manicure was lifting up on my index fingernail. Fast forward this year, 2016. I decide that since they were close to my home and I did not have an issue with their pedicures, I decided to get it done for my vacay. I went there the day before. I chose a color, but once seated I wanted to change the color. I’m assuming that my saying no to the foot spa treatment that was offered cause my attendant to lose interest in me. I asked for someone to bring another color for me since my pedi was In Process and the attendant and other staff members began to speak in their native language with giggles interspersed. That annoyed me but I asked again and the nail polish was brought to me. Pedi was good, but as I am a firm believer in tipping according to your experience, I decided that I would give a 2.00 tip. I paid and told manicurist to take two dollars tip. She acknowledged me and then went to the register. Aa the same time two people came in for eyebrows, she pretended to be distracted with them, looked in my direction and closed the drawer without giving me my change. I waited until she came out of the eyebrows room to ask about my change.
As she approached the register, she looked at me and cut her eyes off of me. I immediately called her and asked for my change. Of course she pretended to be confused and then said oh yea, and proceeded to open the register to give me my change. Hear me, I am an over tipper as long as I am happy with the service. My BFF think I’m ridiculous with my tipping. However I do not like dishonest people especially those who know they are being dishonest. I was willing to get my pedi there but after that experience I tossed their business card in garbage.

The positive– seemed clean and pedicure tubs were lined in plastic=sanitary.
The negatives– Manicurist cut my toe and kept digging despite me telling her to stop– it bled a lot and no apology or asking me if I was ok. Still hurts next day. She even managed to cause pain filing a fingernail!
Just an ok manicure/​pedicure. Cold water for pedicure soak, towels only a little warm. Nothing special, seemed rushed.
No «thank you» for tip. Which, despite my toe mauling, was generous.
With so many choices of places to go, will not return.

great place, priced well, clean and well staffed. the staff here is pleasant, the service is excellent.

I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences here. By far my favorite nail salon on Church Ave. The prices are pretty reasonable. The atmosphere is beautiful too. Calm lighting, relaxing music. The pedicure massage chairs are really nice too! I got– lip and eyebrow wax, gel manicure with design, and a 10 minute massage all for $ 55. Pretty good to me. They speak good English, and my manicures always look amazing. My gel can even last up to 3 weeks! I go to my usual women named Christy. I highly recommend her. :)) it surprises me to see some of the reviews on here, because I’ve had nothing but good experiences here.

I have been here on multiple occasions and let me just start by saying that I love them! The service and behavior of the workers are amazing. They are friendly and welcoming. They take the job seriously and make sure you like what your getting. The person I had spent a very long time making sure my nails were even and all colored nicely. Nothing but love for them and will always recommend them! My go to nail salon in the area.

I have been in every single nail salon in the neighborhood this one is absolutely my favorite. I’m really surprised from the reviews here. The workers speak English so u can actually communicate and ask for what you want exactly. Really professional and quick. Reasonable prices.

Botched nail job.
I just left this place about 15 min ago… and I’m currently trying to fix this awful file and paint job. My normal nail place (SL Nails) was closed so I walked across the street and thought I’d give this place a try.
Big mistake.
The atmosphere is nice I’ll admit, but the nail job I received was atrocious. To make a long story short: She cut my nails WAY WAY too short (to the point that the skin is longer than the nail) she pulled a chunk out of my thumb while cutting my cuticles (I was bleeding a bunch) AND on top of that she did a rushed and sloppy paint job.
I approached about a refund because of the quality of the work and the girl at the desk just looked confused and proceeded to argue with me about how the nails weren’t «that bad». That bad??? Seriously.
Now I’ll have to get acrylics or something until these nails grow out.
SERIOUSLY, go to any other nail place on Church ave BESIDES this one. Oh yeah, and $ 10 was the price I paid for this awful, awful manicure with no hand massage, no warm towels, nothing.
This place gets 0 stars.

Awful pedicure. My feet look like they did when I came in. Limited time spent on the pedicure. Will not be going back there.

Came in for the $ 20 mani-​pedi special and it was not even worth the money I saved. Pedicure was a rush job, although there were only 2 of us in the salon at the time. Barely scrubbed my feet and left with the skin feeling just as dry as they were when I walked in. Did not get callous remover as I did not need it, just dry heels from wearing sandals. I get better results just using a pumice stone at home in the shower. Also the «lotion» they apply is watery and non moisturizing. Why spend time soaking and scrubbing to not moisturize?
I requested not to get my nails painted (color) as they are short and in process of re growing but manicurist did not even offer a clear coat, had to request it and she barely took the time. Also my nails were filed so unevenly they look worse than they did when entering.
Absolutely worst experience I have had at a salon. Definitely going back to my usual spot across church.

Walk into this salon and you’re greeted by the nicest looking nail joint on Church Ave. I went on a Saturday and there was no wait before I was ushered over to the pedicure chair. The atmosphere was extremely serene and spa-​like… for exactly 3 minutes, until one of the staff got on her cell and was yelling and giggleshrieking for the rest of my mani-​pedi. I then had the experience of life imitating Seinfeld, as the manicurist doing my pedicure complained to her friend about having to scrub my callouses. Listen, I understand. You’re touching my feet, and I don’t expect you to be enthusiastic, but maybe try to hide your disgust? It IS the end of winter, and I did pay extra for the callous treatment.
The loud cell conversation continued for another 20 minutes or so as I got a manicure, and the results were lumpy and bubbly, just like other reviewers have described. It’s a shame, because this place has potential. It’s spacious, beautiful, and they seem to be very well staffed. The issue here is that the staff do not seem to behave professionally or be particularly skilled.
You have several reviewers here giving feedback on the same issues — how about re-​training your staff and improving service at this place? It speaks volumes that the other less fancy salons on Church Ave were busy and this place was almost empty all afternoon.

I tried this salon for the first time this week and came specifically for eyelash extensions. I’ve never had them done before and was looking around for a good deal. The prices are not the least expensive in the area, but still very reasonable. However, $ 35 for partial (individual lashes instead of 1 full strip) eyelash extensions?! For that price I was willing to try a new salon! My lashes came out looking fabulous– visibly enhanced, yet natural enough to seem like only mascara was added. I’ll definitely be back.

These people do not clean their tools. I stopped going to them months ago after only two visits because I witnessed this.
They did my feet and while I was doing my nails they took another customer, did her feet in the same bowl and didn’t wash out the bowl and used the exact same tools they used on my feet. I was so disgusted I told the lady that was sitting in the chair, paid and left. I also reported them to the Board of Health

Grace is one of the nicest (in terms of atmosphere) nail salons I’ve ever been to. The space itself is decorated beautifully, and there’s never a roaring crowd which makes it a perfect place the relax. The music they play is also wonderful– very soothing! It’s a huge plus compared to the rest of the nail salons on Church Ave. that don’t offer a calm setting like this.
In terms of the mani/​pedi itself, the first thing I noticed was how clean this salon is. I’ve been nail spa hopping around Kensington looking for the right place, but I always get irked out by the lack of cleanliness control. Not the story at Grace. Their tools were sterilized, I saw workers cleaning the basins, and the floor was getting a wipe down every so often.
I usually get a normal mani pedi but decided to treat myself after a rough week of work. So I opted for a marine spa pedi and a regular manicure. THE GOOD: The marine spa pedi was great in terms of materials: very minty, very relaxing and definitely exfoliating. Both my nail shaping and color jobs on my fingers and toes were great. Very neat, orderly, and no mistakes. THE BAD: My pedi came with a 10 minute foot massage which was very forgettable. My manicurist didn’t use enough strength so it honestly just felt like somebody touching my feet for an extended period. Another huge disappointment was that for $ 50, it didn’t include the callus removal that other places include. For callus removal, they wanted an extra $ 10– uh, sorry. But I paid for a spa pedi– I expect callus removal! Meh, forgivable because this place was so calm.
All in all with tip, I would say that I spent about $ 75. Not too bad.
Would I come back? Absolutely! But probably not for any of their spa deals.
PS: MON-​WED MANI PEDIS ARE $ 20!!!

I just went to Grace’s nail salon today and I must say I am quite disappointed. The cons out way the pros by a long shot. Some pros consist of the numerous amount of services they provide, an adequate amount of workers, and a nice environment. Some of the cons I experienced today were lack of and poor service, poor sanitary practices and discomfort. I was seated at the pedicure station immediately which is good considering I did not make an appointment however I has waited 10 – 15 minutes to be serviced. Not to mention the left arm rest was beginning to fall apart as well as a wobbly left foot holder. I was juggled between 3 different women for the generic mani, pedi.
For the pedicure the nail technician did a relatively quick job filing my nails and pushing back cuticles however she consistently kept filing my nails to the extent in which it brought pain despite being told several times not to file that closely. The nail Polish came out well and I’m glad she did two coats of the color of my choosing along with a clear coat to top it off. Unfortunately my nails are not all filed evenly for both my hands and feet. Off of a glance no one would notice but I am not paying to have unevenly filed nails.
Same problem with the manicure. The switching of nail technicians and my nails being filed to closely. The part I am most upset over is after my nails were filed and my cuticles were cut, a semi hot rag with the stench of feet were put over both my hands. Completely defeated the point of spraying perfume on my hands.
I’ve never had any of their other services but if it is anything like there manicures and pedicures than I would not advise it unless you like being juggled between nail technicians, smelly feet towels, unevenly/​painfully filed nails, having be made to wait once seated at a station in a half broken chair. $ 20 well wasted.

Waste of time I had to file my heels when I got home the polish was so water down it started to peel the next day. Olivia had a attitude the whole when I was telling her what I wanted. Smh wasted my money

THIS STORE IS THE BRANCH STORE OF Beautiful Grace Nail Salon Inc located at 6905 18^th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY.
I went to this nail salon try to give it a shot because I passed this store so many time. The store appearance looks nice BUT the Nails tool that they used are disgusting and nasty. They didn’t even sterilize the tools before they putting it on my nails. (my nails and fingers ends up with nasty white build up and fungus) The store owner worked on my nails, apparently he spoke poor English with Fujianese accent (rural villager from china)
The complaint here is not just they use un-​sterilize tools on me, I told him that I want French tip with power, it ends up that he covered my fingers with unknown chemically and Billions of small bubbles on every nails. The nails look extremely disgusting and nasty. My nails looks like a zombie nail with dark brown based and pale nail. It’s make my pink nail looks like a dead people’s nail. Even my fiancé look at my nails felt disgusting. When I saw my nails, my tears was running out of my eyes I couldn’t even control. I yelled at the owner and told him that you make my nails looks disgusting. He was liked this is the power nail, this is supposedly how it look liked. I was liked I have done my nails for the past 10 years, I never seem anyone did a horrible job liked you. He started complaint at me and cursed me in Chinese. His staff saw what was happened and tell him to put on a color gel to hide the bubbles, he was liked this lady makes me losing money, and his staff said you better correct her nails because this is not what she wants.
And finally, he starts correcting my nails. The result is, SUPER HORRIBLE. I ended up paying him $ 68 dollars at the end for what he done to my nails. He didn’t even provide me with a receipt. My fiancé came to the store to pick me up and when he looked at my nails, he was in SHOCK. He requests the store owner to return the entire money back to me because he done a horrible job. My fiancé complained to the store owner and told him that I have my nails done for our wedding shoot, now I ended up with disgusting nails. I was in a EXTREMELY bad mood after seeing my nails. I still have to deal with my disgusting nails while I am typing this review. God helps me. I can’t stop feeling sorry for myself, why am I paying this fxxcking asshole to torture my nails? I know that I have to do something about it. Tonight, I am going to file a complaint to department of New York State to terminate this business for unprofessional Practice and file a complaint to department of health as well as nyc consumer affairs.
In the meantime, I am looking for an attorney to file a lawsuit for intentional nail damage. If anyone have the same issue liked me, please feel free to contact me to file a joint the complaint.
This message is for all the lady out there who wants to have beautiful nails, don’t trust the appearance of the store. Check the review before you try anything.

I went in for my 1^st time manicure and got the gel for $ 25. Complete treat for me!
I went in April 3^rd and was the last client. I walked out happy thinking that I would keep this for 2 weeks. Then, today the 8^th the thumb is half off. The manicure started to becoming soft and came off alongside the skin.
I called asking if a 2 weeks manicure is okay to come off after 1 week. I was happy to hear they would fix it. I come along, 3 woman’s there without client, I don’t feel too bad as they are all free. They said they would fix the thumb, they scratch what’s left off while telling me that it is normal for it to peeled of along the side… Then, they couldn’t find my name or whatever on the book, to finally telling me that they don’t have the color of the nail polish, which was there!
So, complete waist of time for me to go back, and what kind of attitude is that?! Instead of fixing one nail, they prefer to sat there not working.
They lost a client here. I will go next door.

I live in the neighborhood. I have tried for prolonged periods of time almost all of the salons around the area. And I believe that this is definitely the best of them. Over the years I have done Acrylic, UV gel and now I mostly use color gel. First of all, this salon is clean, they offer most of the services you may need. Nails, waxing, massage and facials. I love their manager, Cindy. She is smart, friendly and very sharp. Their prices are not the cheapest, but very competitive. UV gel is $ 5 less then the 2 places right next to them, I checked! Finally, I never had a reason to find just one girl to go to, they are all good.

I have been to Grace CC many times and each time I leave slightly disappointed. The last time will be it for me. Came in and lucked out to get Lily who does great gels and bam two minutes in some guy comes in for a walk in massage and Lily leaves me which is a bit ridiculous and I get some dude with long nasty thumb nails. He hacked my skin up and couldn’t copy the gradient gel my nails looked like a 5^th grader did them and the best part they charged me more for the design! I left and immediately went to get them redone. Terrible experience. And I would like to add on many occasions I’ve had one technician and part way through I’ve gotten switched to someone else when it got busy so I had to tip 2 people. I’m a sucker and I never complain but this place is just ridiculous.

I have been to this place twice before and the service was always excellent but the last time I went, on Friday, 8/​16, it was terrible. While the young lady that gave me my mani and pedi was sweet, she seemed quite inexperienced. I chose Essie’s KnockOut Pout for both my mani and pedi. I needed to remove gel from my hands and have her glue 2 of my nails because they had cracked in the middle.
While doing the manicure, Doreen, who was awesome and servicing my sister, suggested that I put Gellish on underneath the polish because it would seal the cracks on the 2 nails as well as make my nails stronger. So my girl (she wasn’t wearing a nametag) proceeded to put the gel on but kept looking for Doreen for reassurance and asking her questions.
Long story short, by the time I went to dry my nails, I noticed that the Essie polish that I chose looked awful and dull. I told her and she just slapped a third coat of polish on it and put me to dry. The same thing happened with my toes. I showed her that the nail polish apparently had too much nail polish remover in it (which I didn’t realize when I picked it) so the color looked awful and streaky). Again, she slapped another coat of polish on my big toe and told me to dry, didn’t even put any clear on top of it and when she thought I was ready, she didn’t even assist me in taking out the tissue between my toes or in putting on my shoes until she saw me struggling to make sure I didn’t smudge. This was the completely opposite kind of service that Doreen gave my sister. She seemed excellent and I know my sister loved her gel mani and pedi.
By Saturday, my manicure looked AWFUL and so did my pedicure. Unfortunately, I was just visiting my family in BK and was on a very tight schedule before my return on Monday so I did not have time to go back to fix the ENTIRE manicure that was dull and chipped. Even the Gellish underneath the Essie color wasn’t painted on the full nail and you could see where the gel ended. I took plenty of pictures to make sure that the next time I go back, they redo it and do not charge me. If I spend $ 40 on a mani and pedi, I don’t expect to be embarrassed by how badly my hands and toes look the next day.
I’m looking for an email address to send them to so if the owner sees this, please contact me with an email address so that I can be sure to send the pictures over ASAP.
I’m certainly not a person who feels entitled but when I pay for a service, I definitely expect someone to pay attention to what they’re doing, rather than just slapping polish on a problem and calling it a day. The third time was NOT the charm.
Update: Went again in December 2013. My cuticle was cut to the point where it was still bleeding even after my nails were dry. My nails were painted with a color that was lumpy due to acetone in the bottle and the girl who did my pedicure kept painting. I had to tell her, along with the person that I was with, that that bottle needed to be thrown away. I ended up picking another color. Needless to say, I won’t be going back there.

I’m writing to you ladies and gentlemen, sad to say the Nail queen Candy is no longer in this location. I will update you all to let you know where she will be.:(
She is without a doubt the best nail queen!!! For sure
As far as the other owner Cindy she’s a Poor excuse of a business owner, So i wonder why Candy left. Hmmmmm?
I know to her clients they all miss her. Will keep you guys updated

Cindy, the co-​owner fixed everything. With her kindness and apologies for previous poor treatment, she saved her shop from losing a customer. I’ll be back on Wednesdays… When she’s there…

I love being a regular here. Ana is the best… She gives the best massages ever! I love all the services from the nails to the ear candling. Yes, they are bit over priced but they are not like the other salons cutting you and making you bleed or burning you while waxing.
It’s very peaceful and calming!
