KoKo Nails & Spa

I just went here for the first time, however, I regularly get pedicures throughout the year so I am very aware of what a good pedicure is. Service was excellent! I opted for a spa pedicure (40) which included callous cream. This package came with a manicure, which I did not need as I have gel, and they graciously offered to swap the manicure out for an extra 10 minutes calf/​foot massage. Attention to detail was extremely thorough. Polish job was perfect. This package also included a five-​minute shoulder massage, and once the gentleman started, he was so good that I bought the extra $ 10 for 10 minutes. I have definitely found a place that I will stick with.

Every time I get my nails done i always love how they turn out whenever it’s with Mandy or Paul. They both take their time and that’s hard to find in a nail salon because everyone is worrying about rushing. Mandy and Paul know how to rush and perfect at the same time if needed! I really don’t have any complaints about this place besides I wish the staff there spoke better English so I can have a better relationship with them but besides that I love this place

I called this shop at 9:45 today and asked if they had time to do a full pink and white acrylic set. The woman said sure come down anytime. I got there at 10am and they took me immediately. Paul did my nails and did a great job. The price was great and they even gave a 4 minute neck/​shoulder massage and set a timer for it. They were so friendly. I will definitely be going back.

Figured I would try a new place but that was a mistake. Made an appointment for a gel fill in and waited 45 minutes. When I say in the chair the girl tried to talk me into getting the white and pink filled in. I had just had the white done 2 weeks prior and didn’t need it. Apparently they were moving me to a different person because she walked up behind me and pulled the chair to move me. I jumped up or I would have fallen out of the chair 7 months pregnant. I should have known then and just left. A few days later my nails start lifting and I am already missing 2 nails. What a waste!!!

I have been bouncing from nail salon to nail salon after moving to LI from NYC. Either the price wasn’t right, the quality sucked or the attitude of the staff was terrible. And along came koko; thank you for your quality, price, cleanliness and customer service.
Gel manicure 20; gel manicure 25– they also have a ‘loyalty program’ where you accrue points based on dollars spent.
I am so happy to FINALLY find this gem.

I’m not a fan of not seeing the tools come out of anti-​fungal/​bacteria stuff but so far three days later, my fingers are in good shape! I had a great paint job, a quick 5 minute massage and an overall good experience. I went in and there was no one there by the time I left there was so many people there and it was the middle of the day! Everyone must love it– it was packed with happy people getting their toes and dinners done up. The pedi prices looked good. My mani was $ 8. I’ll be back.

Very clean and the staff is super nice! I totally recommend Nancy she’s by far my fave!

Love kokos so much! Everyone is awesome there-​you can’t go wrong with anyone! However, Nancy and Paul are my favorite! They always do what you need and want. Only downside to this salon is the amount of time you will wait. I have been in there waiting almost 2 hours for a fill in! It kills me. I go every 2 weeks and I love them too much to go to a different salon but they definitely aren’t good with time management.

This place is the best. Their prices are awesome, you always get a 5 min massage and the staff is great. For fill-​ins I love go to Mandy — but definitely make an appointment because they get really busy.

$ 25 for a nice gel mani and it hasn’t chipped or peeled off for the last 2 weeks. I brought in a pic from Pinterest and they did exactly what I wanted. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my nails. I will definitely go back again for my next gel mani. Service was decent, complimentary back massage for a few minutes, and they made sure to do a good job with the design on my nails. Very pleased!

I really tried to like Koko’s nails. The Employees are pretty friendly, however the service is subpar. I mostly went there for pedicures. I don’t believe all of the technicians try their best to be excellent. The last time I visited, the young male did not do a good job. My sister had to direct him the whole time. We paid for a 20 min foot massage & he rubbed the same spot during the entire massage. When she asked him to rub other places, he did for 30 seconds then moved back to the same old spot! And thats also when he wasn’t falling asleep! I highly doubt I will be back.

Okay. Just okay.
I came here to get a manicure because I was in the area and based on Unilocal reviews I didn’t think I could go wrong.
1. DIRTY-​I hate dirty nail places. They do not clean their tools and use the same products on everyone without cleaning them. Just a heads up to all those who go to nail salon at minimal the salon you go to should disinfect their items with alcohol in front of you and use separate nail file and buffer for each customer. Call it a pet peeve but I rather be safe than sorry because God knows what diseases other people are carrying.
2. CUSTOMER SERVICE– could have been much better. The wait was long. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and they had a 30 minute wait so I can only imagine what their establishment is like on the weekend. Techs were a little rude and didn’t offer me any assistance when saw me struggling to carry my purse to the nail dryer with my wet nails.
3. QUALITY– they did a rushed and messy job. I had to tell the nail tech to clean it up like four times. They soaked my hands in cold water. Did a have a** paint job and overall did not satisfy me. My paint job chipped right after I left the salon. I will say that the young lady next to me was getting a design on her nails and they looked amazing but I can’t really speak on that because that wasn’t the service I received.
That’s about it! Happy Unilocaling:)

Don’t bother going unless you make an appointment/​have endless time to wait!
I don’t think I have ever waited so long in a nail salon on a Wednesday evening in all my life. I was literally in the salon from 5:15 p.m. until after 8 o’clock at night. The technicians were disorganized and incessantly bickering with one another on who to serve first. Their technique, it seems, is to assign a technician to two customers at once, making the time it takes to get a simple manicure at least double.
Now, don’t get me wrong, the quality of their overall service is fine. I got a relaxing spa pedicure which comes with a free manicure, 10 minute foot massage, and five minute back massage, and since I was getting a gel manicure instead that day, they graciously gave me a fifteen minute back massage instead.
In short, I think I would go back to KoKo Nails & Spa, but most definitely with an appointment. Call me impatient, but sitting in a cramped salon for over three hours is just a bit much for me.

I came to this place due to the good reviews but sadly I was very disappointed.
The guy who did my nails did a terrible
Job, he filed them horribly and he filed my natural nail so much that until now (more than 1 month) I still have the mark of the drill on my nail (I had gel nails).
On top of that he couldn’t understand when I tried to explain what I wanted regarding the color and he got so frustrated that I just told him to leave them as they were (without color) finally since he did a TERRIBLE job and was extremely rude I only left him a $ 2 tip so when he saw this he started to loudly say something in his language and it was so loud that everyone in the salon was staring. It made me so u comfortable that I just left. I wasn’t going to post a review but every time I look at my nails I get so upset because they are so damaged because of the drill.

I got a lumpy poorly done gel manicure. The guy must have been in training because people kept coming over to see how he’s doing. I think it’s perfectly okay to have a trainee do someone’s nails, but that someone needs to be asked if that’s alright with them and the price should be adjusted (for example they can offer half the usual price if you choose to let the apprentice perform the service). This was my first gel manicure so I wasn’t sure what to expect. My friend was getting the same service done next to me so I quickly realized something was off.
My nails were cut terribly, and I’m always too shy to correct people so that’s half my fault. I guess. Then my nails were not painted one hand at a time, but by painting the pinky on my right hand then the one of the left, then the right ring finger then the left one, and so on. Each time I had to pay attention so that I could give him the right hand and place the other one under the dryer-​light-​thing. This complicated process was not only exhausting but increased the chance of error, namely that I nicked a polished finger when I had to put my hand under the light for the umpteenth time. Did you know there are like 3 or 4 layers of polish in a gel manicure? Yeah. Exhausting.
All this and I didn’t get the pedicure that I also wanted and booked because by the time I was done they were closing. They couldn’t given a heads up because I wanted the pedi more than the mani.
The manicure barely last a week. It was cracking near the cuticles and lifting off my nails. (It’s like complaining that the food was horrible and given in such small portions…) This turned out to be a blessing since I just peeled it all off and got everything redone elsewhere with a regular manicure.
This is why I do my own nails usually.
(Btw, my friend’s nails looked perfect when the woman doing them was finished and she also finished minutes before the guy working on mine was done. It seems to depend on who you get.)

Great nail place with great prices. Got a full set pink and white that was done perfectly for only 40 $. Complimentary massage was great too.

Great nail spa! Came here based on all the great Unilocal reviews. I got a gel manicure ($ 20– great price for the area) and the service and all were great! Unfortunately, within a couple days the nailpolish color began to turn color, it started as a pretty pink and began to turn splotchy-​white (no, I was NOT going for a tie-​dye look)! I had gone away for the weekend and could not go back in for about a week after I initially got my nails done but they were so nice and accommodating. They re-​did my gel manicure with a different color for free and were very nice about it. Sometimes places can give you a bit of a headache in this type of situation but this place was great! I had a different person each time but each of them did an awesome job– my nails looked great!
They allowed my previous gel color to soak for a while in acetone before trying to scrape the heck out of them like my previous gel manicure experience here in Long Island which ruined my nails for months, so I appreciated that too :)
I also got a pedicure the day that I went back and it came out nice! I had to wait a little while between manicure and pedicure because the place became very very busy but because of the friendly service and flexibility I didn’t mind. The prices are competitive here, especially considering prices of some other local nail spas, and they do a good job, will certainly return!

I’ve been hesitant to get my nails done around the area since I’m not from the area but couldn’t wait to get a mani pedi and decided to try the place out based on the reviews.
Pros:
–color selection was great
–mani/​pedi — $ 20
–friendly service
–massage during pedi was amazing
–no wait at all once i got in
Cons:
–mani felt a little rushed
–didn’t get the complimentary massage :(
I’ll come back regularly!

I’ve been trying to find a nail salon on the island for a while now. After a not-​so-​good experience at this salon I used to go to, I began my search for a new one. I saw the good reviews that KoKo had received and decided to check them out. It’s a small place, but pretty nice inside and I was sat down to start my manicure about 2 minutes after I walked in and chose a color. Paul was the one who took care of my nails and did a pretty good job.
Like someone else noted, they do have regulars and that always seems good to me. On top of it, the manicure was only $ 8. I’m pretty sure like most salons they prefer cash but do accept cards. I’m definitely going to come back for service and try the Shellac which is only $ 20. Overall, great place for the price you pay with friendly staff.

$ 20 for a gel mani! That is an insanely good price since I usually get them for $ 30 – 35 everywhere else! I came here for a gel mani and spa pedi and I couldn’t believe the total: $ 40! The pedi was $ 20 since I did white tips (extra $ 5). The selection of gel and nail polish is outstanding! The only setback to this place is that you have to wait, it’s always busy! I also have noticed that they have a lot of regulars (which is a good thing)!
My pedi smudged the same day that I got it done-​but I was able to come in the following day and they redid the 2 nails that smudged for free! They are fairly big on customer service since they seemed to always have customers waiting.
They also «free hand» their white tips, pretty impressive. Most places brush on the white nail polish and just use acetone to shape the smile lines. They also take their time on you, so you don’t feel so rushed like at other nail salons. Its also a very peaceful environment, not chatty at all.
