Nails Island

1^st of all its a beautiful nail salon. They are very clean and that’s a huge plus for me personally. They provide new pedicure/​manicure utensils which is a plus. Nice assorted colors to choose from. 2^nd of all they massage you, honey! I got a Mani and pedi and I feel amazing. They have packages to choose from too which I’ll indulge in next visit. They wrap your feet! Ever had a pedi gone wrong once you put on your socks!?! No need to worry because they wrap your toes with plastic wrap AND help you with your socks (if you had a Mani done, its a huge help) I will be back!

Consistently really well done manicures. Particularly Jane is my favorite manicurist. Sge takes her time and my nails always come out looking flawless. It’s a very clean establishment with stylish facilities. I’ve been going to them now for a year.

Bad place and bad customer service. They won’t be open long is my guess. I tried it a few times and had multiple services but each experience and service was disappointing. The first time I got nicked by the boy doing my pedicure and instead of apologizing he snapped a photo saying that he needs to be protected in case of a law suit. But I gave a 20 percent tip and came back again because there were no bad feelings on my end. But when I came back there was a bad vibe in the place. I had a special pedicure which was nothing special at all, and a back massage. The back massage by a female server was average and perfunctory. This time I noticed the salon is not that clean. The staff pretends to not know English when convenient for them. I will not be coming back.

This place should be renamed «Massage Island» (this is not a compliment) because they suck at manicures. Left here with jagged nails and uneven nail polish. Not to mention the pain endured during the cuticle removal process was barbaric. I did receive a curiously long hand and then neck and upper back massage while I was drying my nails (on their old and cheap hot heat emitting dry station. Why no infrared?) But seriously, if I want a massage I’ll head on over to Aveda. Thanks.

Ok, seriously– the best acrylic fill in on earth. I walked in, was helped immediately. Emily did such an amazing job on my fill in. She was so detailed and made sure every nail was filled to perfection. She didn’t talk much which was great lol– she did make a few jokes but nothing excessive or annoying.
The place is impeccable. The selection of colors are great. OPI and Essie.
$ 30 for a fill in is a bit expensive but it’s seriously worth every penny. I will definitely be here again.
I’m so happy I found a clean/​professional place to have my nails done.

I came here in the early afternoon on a Saturday. I called ahead to make sure there was not a wait. I was told to come right in. I went in for a standard mani and pedi but I read some of the options and due to my feet needing some extra TLC, I chose Combo Package 1: A spa manicure and spa pedicure for $ 55. I was thoroughly impressed. Lulu put in so much work on my feet! They look and feel brand new. The 10 minute foot massage and 10 minute hand massage was great as well. It was just the right amount of pampering. The place was very clean and I felt that they staff was very friendly and accomodating. I will definitely be returning.

I’m a regular customer here. I like all of their services but I think they do a superb job with more specialized services like gels, wraps and acrylics. My one complaint is that there are few specialized technicians in these services and so at times it feels rushed and it can show in the job, but it’s still much better than most other salons and the prices are very reasonable!

So happy my sister and I stumbled upon this place! I temporarily moved back to the Bronx for several months and have always gotten my nails done in Manhattan or Brooklyn, because I just never knew of reputably clean nail salons in the Bronx.
They are all so nice, they do a good job with both manis and pedis all the time, and the place is legit clean and sanitary! Just last week, I was the last person at the salon on a Sunday evening and I got to witness how they cleaned the entire place and I was highly impressed. Ecstatic to now have a Bronx nail salon spot!

I’m not sure but the last few times I’ve come to do my nails the young woman who speaks fluent English wasn’t around… When I asked for her they said she’s on vacation… Okay fine so here I am back at the salon after 5 days for nail wrap/​repair due to my error. Anyhow I am annoyed at the way the fluent speaking man/​manager owner whatever treated me during my visit. Days before I had come in for a gel manicure and asked for a stone adornment, I get it done quite often and had done so at this same establishment however I was told I couldn’t because the nail tech did not know how to do it! I explained to him I knew and that I would guide her and he dismissed me! Uuuugh I regret having to go back but my nail broke and needing fixing. I probably will be back because it’s local for future visits but only because PERFECT NAILS, Yonkers is a bit of a trek for me between juggling work and family responsibilities.

I loved this salon, I walked in early & they took care of me right way. They use new pre-​packaged utensils which I appreciated & my mani lasted so long! A little rough of the back massages but I’ll forgive that.

I love pedicures and have followed Unilocal to find great shops as I travel the City. I rechecked that I was in the right shop since all said it was friendly and I was not greeted but simply pointed to the polish. This turned out to be the highlight of the experience. I should have fled.
The male pedicurist did not first soak the feet but began poking and clipping mercilessly. I had to pull my feet back in pain several times with no response from the torturer. Two days later I still felt the pain under the nails. The polish did not go to the cuticle so it appears that it was done a week ago.
The manicure was not painful since he did not clean the nails. I had been doing some gardening so nails needed work. I did point this out and he removed one piece of dirt and that was that. By this time I just wanted to escape. Therefore I left with polished dirty nails.

Great plain manicure! Came in on a Saturday morning, got a nice bright color and extremely quickly too. Only issue is that they don’t have enough nail technicians to cater to their clientele, so you may have a wait, and my pointer finger nail got chipped relatively quickly. My manicure lasted through the sands of Israel, so it passed my test in the end. But it’s a great place for a gel french manicure, beautiful and lasts forever!

The décor has a little of that midtown feel and the staff is nice and on point. And as nail salons go you get the standard fare, decent quick service reasonable priced. And the pedies last and stand up to the wear and tear of summer sandal abuse.

YOU GUYS. This place. THIS place is the best. Stop reading this and just go already.
It’s clean, the staff is kind and nice, and holy cow do my manicures last forever from here. This review is for their acrylics — but I can’t see how regular manicures would differ that much regarding longevity.
My manicurist took her sweet time making sure every little thing on my nails was perfect, and it was worth it. They put this spray and second clear coat of something on the nails too — my manicure looked the exact same 2 weeks later. I went back again, wondering if lightning could strike twice. And here I am, 3 weeks later, and my manicure is totally fine. Maybe I’m just lucky, but I really do recommend the place.
The prices are fair and really low for the quality you get. It feels spa-​like and welcoming, and I won’t ever go anywhere else again. Why go to Manhattan and pay $ 80 for something that won’t last as long and for half the price?

I was so excited to come here based on the reviews. I’m highly disappointed! My nails are not even shaped properly and this is by far the worst mani/​pedi I ever had. I had to come home and reshape them and my manicure is already chipping. This was a waste of money! And don’t go to the big guy, he’s so rough and he can’t do nails.

I will never come back here. They close at 7:30 and said they don’t have time for a pedicure at 6:30. Bull.
Sorry bye.

This is an excellent location to get beautified! I called to schedule a mani/​pedi session for five on a Sunday and they made it work. When my party arrived, they immediately went into action and made us feel welcomed. It truly has the feel of a spa.
The staff are friendly and very professional. The location itself is «incognito» where one would never think to find a professional nail salon… adding to the appeal of the place.
The establishment is clean and tidy. Aside from the excellent job the staff did on all five of us, the real reason I fell in love with Island Nails is for the treatment they provided. It’s more than just getting your nails done… It’s an experience.

I’ve been wanting to come here for a while now and today I finally got the chance to. I took advantage of there $ 21 mani pedi deal. I live in yonkers now and probably visited every single nail salon around without any luck. I have no complaint about this place except for parking. I love that you get a clean sterilized pack of nail instruments right out of the package. Luna did my nails and she was great. Highly recommend. Will be coming back.

If you are in the area and looking for quick on the go service on a Sunday, this is the place for you. The establishment is in a quite area and very convenient for those who are walking (parking on a Sunday also may not be an issue). The inside was very well maintained, modern and cozy. I was greeted by a gentleman who asked what kind of service I was looking for. I love nail salons who try to up sell an alternative service but are pushy and they were on the ball with that. I spent $ 12 on a French manicure which was in perfect price range. If you’re looking for gel manicure its $ 30 for one color or $ 35 for french.
My manicure was very clean and they also use individual ones-​use tools. Once she was done with the actual manicure a second lady finished my nails by painting them. She did an excellent job and also provided a shoulder massage once I was at the drying area. Overall service was great and I will definitely return.
**Only con was when they added a second lady to my service which entails you to tip for both employees. With the service only costing $ 12 I would rather tip one employee verses two.

Still the best nail salon in the area. Sund-​thur is $ 21 for both Mani and pedi. Just be aware they say they close at 730. But actually rush you out at 7. I don’t blame them but don’t rush paying customers out. I just try my best to get there earlier after my commute in from Jersey.
