Nail Sail & Beyond

Cheap place I know some people had bad experiences but I never do anything fancy so my experiences may be different than others but I love this place

My first experience here was fine, however, my second time was horrible. The woman I had unevenly applied the polish and didn’t paint large portions of the sides. There were several bumps. She attempted to fix it however, she ended up adding so many layers of paint. I do not recommend this salon.

This nail place is absolutely terrible! The worst!!! I came in during my lunch hour to get a manicure and pedicure, paid Extra for quick dry. I sat for 20 min under dryer. I asked the woman that did my nails if she could check if they were dry and she ignored me at first, when I asked again she sent one of the other ladies over and she covered them w plastic and said they were fine. As it turns out, they were totally wet and ruined! I went back to ask for my money back and they said no. I spoke w manager on the phone and he said he would give back 20%. Crazy! And then! They wouldn’t even give back 20% of the total. They gave a whole 3 bucks back for just manicure! This place is not clean and the ppl that work there are rude! NEVER go here!!!

Pretty much the worst pedicure I’ve ever had and I don’t know how you can possible screw that up. The nail polish was bubbly and then I asked for a back massage. She started and I didn’t like it less than a minute in I asked deeper she said she couldn’t do I asked if we could stop. I was still charged!!! This is crazy! So not worth the cheap price. A pedicure is basically a nail polish change here! Beware!

Manicure was mediocre, but any relaxation I got from it was drained away when I got a scolding from the nail technician for leaving a 12% tip. I also saw this happen to two other women while I was getting my manicure.
Nail Sail team, just raise your prices instead of harassing your customers.

The staff literally begged for 20% tip and wouldn’t even accept 15%. The whole staff got agitated and started shouting random figures — someone even said $ 10 for a $ 26 job.
Don’t go there unless you are good at haggling.
(Oh and this was my wife’s experience while I just walked into pick her up)

Good place for a quick and inexpensive manicure. Overall safety/​cleanliness when it comes to the tools they use seems questionable.

This was the most rushed nail experience I’ve ever had. The results are a testament to the fact that I had a pedi and then a gel mani in under 15 min total. They really wanted to get me out of there! That is, until I went to pay and gave a 15% tip and one of the girls starts saying over and over that my tip is not enough because people usually give 20%. First off, that’s not how tipping works. It’s a tip. It’s not mandatory. Second, you don’t deserve 20%. You did a sloppy job because you were rushing so you barely deserve a tip at all. I finally relented to shut her up and avoid the bad karma, but come on! Don’t be so bad at your job and certainly don’t demand higher tips. That’s no way to get customers to come back.

Went in yesterday for a manicure and the lady did an immaculate job. She applied a clear coat, 2 nail polish coats, and another clear coat. The final result looks beautiful!

Went in just for a manicure. Paid $ 8, so it was relatively inexpensive. They do tack on extra charges if you want certain services, so you might end up paying more than what’s listed. However, my nails were chipped in 2 days, and they lost lost all shine. A few of my nails were also bubbly from uneven application.
Will NOT be going back.

The rudest staff I have ever seen. Even if we don’t speak Chinese, we understand the insulting expressions on your faces, alright?

This nail salon is a little new compare to «rich nails». Since it’s new the chairs are way better. I guess you pay for what you get. I think it was $ 28 for a mani/​pedi if I remember it correctly. It’s more clean her because everything is fairly new and they take credit cards. They also give you stamps. I think if you come here 10 times, 1 time is free. I came here a couple of times and it’s just a decent nail salon. The ladies would ask you if you want extra massage when you do a pedi. waiting time. I never made an appointment. I came here Friday morning/​afternoon it was about a 15 min wait time. They had about 4 staffs.

AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL service. The lady who did my manicure did a horrible job. She didn’t polish off all my old nail color to begin with, which I didn’t mind too much. Then there were residue pieces of the cotton pad/​ball she used so that when she painted my nails, there were bumps everywhere. I should’ve spoken up (or better yet, looked up reviews of this place beforehand) but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Result? Absolutely half-​assed. The only reason I went here was because it was conveniently connected to the hair salon, Head Quarterz (which, by the way, is a gem of a place to get a haircut!). I wish I was cruel enough to ask for a refund. But thanking the lady without tipping (or making a fuss) was classier and second best.
All in all, AVOID THIS JOKE OF A SALON! Believe the low ratings and question the positive reviews.
If you’re looking for terrific service, I really recommend going to Fresh Spa on 15^th St (between 5^th & 6^th) instead. I’ve been there a few times and they’re precise, courteous, and reasonably priced. I’ll stick with them from now on. :)

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! don’t waste your time or money!
I’ve had my nails done with the powder manicures/​acrylic plenty of times in my life that the electronic filing tools are used and never have I had it hurt me! When I tell you my fingers were BURNT by the tools, i’m not joking! Then to top it off, after the lady burns me with the tools multiple times and I complain she has the nerve to call me out on my low tip… YOU ARE LUCKY YOU EVEN GET A TIP! plus, 2 days later my nails were already chipped and had to get them fixed at my usual spot in Brooklyn. WHAT A JOKE!

Worst nail salon EVER! I wish I could give this place 0 stars. If you’re not Asian they give you dirty looks and give poor service. Worst manicure.

I’ve only had a manicure here so I can’t comment on the spa part, but it was great! I went in the evening so there was no waiting, I also called ahead so they know I was coming. Ask for Tony, he’s really good and knows what he’s doing. Will definitely go again :)

I popped into this place on a whim before meeting up with some friends. I have never had someone care so little when painting my nails. I continuously (at least 3 times) had to point out to her that there were little fuzzies on my nail stuck in the layer of polish. She clearly saw it, but brushed over it anyways hoping I wouldn’t notice. Of course each time I showed her, she fixed it by blotting nail polish remover over it and then it just looked blotchy. The end result, a crappy manicure. I was their only customer too! I won’t be coming back here.

Meh. I came here for a new set of acrylics. While the end result was… not perfect but ok, it took way too long, was a very weird procedure, the technician didnt really seem to know what she was doing (the acrylic got deformed, she wanted to file it even and the stuff came off, so she had to repair it and said herself she didnt know what was going on), thr place was not clean and i was charged $ 2 more than i was initially told (42 instead of 40), even though I didnt get anything extra (no design, no massage, nothing), as someone else already said.
The nails were not perfeclty even in the end so I had to do some more filing myself but then it was ok and they are also very durable, it’s been almost 4 weeks and everything is still fine (except they’re growing out, of course). That’s what the 2 stars are for, that it looked ok and is durable. Everything else was less than ok and I’m currently looking for a different place to get a filling.

I can literally walk across the street during my lunch hour (with an appointment of course) and get a manicure/​pedicure.
This place is very popular and the service is quick.
Its affordable if you are getting a basic mani/​pedi and can be on the steep side if you are getting an acryllic nail filling… also i hear this isnt one of their strong points.
But for the basic mani/​pedi– yeah, they rock.
It gets crowded between he hours of 12 – 3 (lunch times) and is a mad house to get an appointment on a thursday or friday.
Plan ahead, make an appointment.

I went here today to get my first mani/​pedi since Valentine’s Day. I don’t often treat myself, as I’m on a strict budget, but today I broke down since I had to kill an hour and a half before a thing I had to get to.
first of all, today hit a high of 105 degrees in NYC. that being said, it was SWELTERING in that salon. the AC barely works, and it was quite uncomfortable. At first it was fine, but as you sit in there, the heat slowly creeps up on you. I asked what was up and the girl goes ‘oh ac must not be working’. ok. awesome. whatever. it was still cooler than outside, so i sucked it up and continued to ‘get myself pampered’.
the girl who worked on my nails was so nice, i have to say this much. but i was underwhelmed by the overall result of my manicure and pedicure.
the nailpolish is kind of sloppy and my manicure… i could have done it for cheaper. there is so much cuticle still there and there is even cuticle bits IN the nailpolish. I was in a rush, but had I not been, i would have asked her to fix it.
it was also dirty in there. three soda cans sat next to me in the pedicure chair. there were huge dust wads in the corner behind my chair. there were napkins from the pedicures that were just hanging out by the drying station. on the floor. and it was sloppy.
for a mani/​pedi i paid 26.50. it wasn’t worth it. i’d rather pay an extra 5 bucks and have a better mani in a cleaner facility.
but for being in a pinch, i guess it worked.
