118 Diva Nails & Spa

I am an extremely picky person, only go to good and clean places. I’ve been coming here for almost 2 years. Sue the owner is amazing, and if you are specific and clear with what you want, they will do it.

$ 8 for a very quick and above average manicure. i got a regular manicure using OPI sparkle nail polish, which is tricky to apply because the chunky sparkles make for an uneven surface that dries at an uneven pace, etc. etc, but the woman applying it did a great job. they apply cream to your hands as well, but really it’s nothing to write home about. i was in and out in under 20 minutes. woop!

I’m new to the neighborhood and I’m very happy with this place. They are more sanitary than most places I’ve been to. They have a big selection of colors, but still need to work on being up-​to-​date. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Came in for a mani-​pedi and was greeted with a warm smile. I’ve never been to such a tranquil nail salon. They have wonderful, soothing instrumentals playing and it’s sooooo calm! They have a large range of selections for Essie and Opi nail polishes. Kevin called me over quick and he did an amazing job. Gentle, delicate and efficient, I almost fell asleep during my pedicure! My feet and legs are left super soft. As for my manicure, he worked amazingly well with my very short nails and bitten off skin around the nails. It’s a horrible habit and he was careful with the cuts. Clean place, very clean tools. Wonderful spot. Will definitely be coming again!

Do not go here. The employee first attempted to charge me $ 20 more than what their pricing menu states. My nails were very uneven and I asked him to fix them before he painted my nails. He told me he would do them after he painted. I asked again for him to even them out and he didn’t. He made me pay before my service was complete, but no one else in the salon was asked to pay before the service was complete. He then asked me if I was tipping him??? First he didn’t do anything I asked, and it was a simple color over acrylics. And then he treats me as if I am going to walk out without paying. And then asks me for a tip!?! No. You earn those. NOT happy. Will NOT be returning.

I went here last Sunday for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. This place was really clean and quiet and I have been looking for a new nail place. David was a perfectionist. A week later and my manicure is perfect still!

I looked at many reviews for this place and was confident that they would do a good job. I got acrylic nails put on for my brother’s wedding and they look horrendous.
The girl who did them took her time and seemed to be doing a precise job, but when I looked at them later, I was highly disappointed. They are not at all smooth, not the same length, and some are abnormally thick.
They also don’t sit flush with my real nails, and I can’t wait to take them off after this weekend.

This nail salon is very clean and comfortable. They clean & sanitize all their tools in front of you. They have a great selection of nail polishes. The prices are average. As they seat you in the pedicure chair, it starts with a 20 min chair massage and the works begin. The spa pedicure is def worth it ($ 40-​$ 45) and it includes a 10 min foot massage. I was very pleased with my manicure & pedicure. The only downfall is that they speak very little English, but I will def. return.

This place was great, I made an appointment and they saw me right away. Some of the staff doesn’t speak English very well but they are all friendly and want to make you happy. I got my nails done by Kevin, he took his time and make sure my french manicure had perfect lines. I was very pleased and I plan on returning for more gel manicures in the future!

I came here twice before. I was in love with this place. Today not so much. It took me a very long time to grow out my own nails. I use aquilic to cover my nature nail to protect it from braking. WELL What does the nail technician do? She sticks the skinny drill under my nails and FILES OFF my natural nails. Like WTF! I told her to STOP. She tells me that my nails are dirty underneath. I tell her well you suppose to use water and soap and a brush to clean it. NOT file my nail off. I’m SO UPSET right now: She does a great job and that’s why I came back. Just no metro card to remove aquilic and no drills sanding underneath nails.

This salon has high quality services, is super clean, staff is friendly and goes out of their way to keep you happy.
My last french manicure lasted me about 2 weeks and my pedicure much longer than that.
There may be a few places in the area where you can pay a few bucks less for a mani/​pedi, but this place is well worth spending a few extra dollars on, in my opinion.

I enjoy coming here. Loved the full set gel manicure and pedicure the first time, and love the Lemon Spa pedicure with free manicure special I’m getting now. Guess that’s why I’m the Dutchess!

I wrote a «tip» on this salon, and I didn’t realize until now that it was a tip… cause I wanted to update my review. In that case, I’ll review now:
I’ve been back religiously. The salon has been there for years — who knows how many — and the place is CLEAN. If you walk into a nail salon and there’s goops of glue strung all over the counters, spilled polish stains, and piles acrylic stuck on the tables, then you’re in the wrong place. Their marble table tops are spotless, and the chairs are comfortable and new. Nothing in the salon is broken, and if it is they either fix it or replace it diligently.
My most favorite thing about them though, is that they actually use STERILE tools from a brand new pack that gets peeled open in front of you.
As far as the employees and their competencies: Sue is the manager (if not owner) and is truly an artist, so I’m almost always disappointed if I don’t book an appointment with her. But if I’m in a hurry, I still get a great product from anyone else. I’m sure there will be manicurists that not everyone prefers, and there *is* someone that I usually like to stay away from, but I speak up & ask to have a certain person do it. If I’m going to be particular, I know I’m most likely going to have to wait so I plan for it.
My second favorite to the sterile cleanliness is the fact that they have a POINT SYSTEM. Ask them for a VIP Membership Card, and earn points for every pre-​tax dollar that you spend. Redeem them for free services — I’m close to getting a free facial!

One of the best nail salons that I have been to in a long time. The service is awesome! They took there time with everything from my pedicure to manicure. I also enjoyed the back massage while my nails were drying. Everyone made sure I was content prior to leaving. I was extremely happy with the outcome and intend on going back in two weeks!!!

Like this place great people. I come here once in a while for manicures and pedicures. I wanted to get my eyebrows threaded here but I had to settle for waxing. They only do waxing. The people here are super sweet and I like to tip generously for the great work they do.

This place is a great neighborhood spot for a relaxing manicure. It has the three main things I look for in a nail salon:
1. Great Customer Service
2. My nails looked great afterwards
3. The place is really clean
I will definitely be back!

Best manicure ever!
I came upon this place in a snow storm, it was the only place open. Thank goodness I stumbled upon them, they totally rock!

Well I have to say I was hesitant to go to this nail place because I have been disappointed with most nail Salons but I was pleasantly surprised to say the girl that did my nails did a great job, and the service was awesome. She did file a little too much on my cuticle which blead a little but fixed it right away with an antiseptic and I didnt feel it ever again even when I washed my hands later on at home it was like magic. She did my acrylic nails just like I wanted and shaped them like I requested. The design I showed her was spot on. I have no complaints. My nails have lasted a week with no cracks or lifting, wonderful the UV color has lasted beautifully. I am definitely going back. Price was $ 42 a little steep for my pocket. She did a filling and UV color gel manicure with UV top coat but the result is worth it. I was very pleased. Check out my pic

So happy to have discovered this place in my hood (how did I not know it was there?) Great and friendly service, clean and comfortable and most of all peaceful. I will be back for more and possibly a facial too :)
Thanks to the Unilocalers who reviewed this before me, I wouldn’t of found it otherwise.

Ladies and gents out there in Unilocalland, I think I’ve found my new nail salon.
After a really bad experience with my former nail salon a couple months ago, I was traumatized. I did a lot of research, trying to find the next nail salon that would give me a less stressful experience (and that I wouldn’t mind giving my hard earned cash to). This morning, I came across the reviews for this place. So, off I went.
Immediately as I went inside, I was greeted by someone, and the atmosphere is nice and quiet, which I loved and so desperately needed. I did a gel mani and regular pedi which totaled to $ 40, and their gel manis are cheaper than most places. Score!
Everyone there is friendly and EVERYTHING IS STERILIZED, which is a super plus for me! To be honest, you don’t even feel like you’re on Metropolitan Ave. You feel like you’re in another world.
The girl that I had took her time, didn’t rush me out the door, and she gave me the most AWESOME massage as my hands were under the UV light. Not to mention, she gave my feet a really good scrub. If you can scrub my feet well AND give an awesome massage, there will always be a special place in my heart for you.
Overall, I had a wonderful experience. They have gained a new customer, and I’ll be back in 2 weeks.
