Red Rose Nail

I go here literally every week and have never had a bad experience. The chair massages are amazing and the mani/​pedis to me are on par with places I have been all over the city that are far mor expensive. I have never encountered rude service and the prices really can’t be beat.

The woman who did my nails was not skilled at manicures nor customer service, point blank. After waiting about 15 minutes in a huge but basically empty salon with absolutely no music and no TV (it was awkward and silent save for the loud breathing of the workers, which just made it feel very sad and weird), I was finally sat with a woman who, well… she sucked.
I got an uneven application, messy cuticle trimming, rudeness and nail polish was all around my skin. I had to actually ask her (politely) to clean them up, twice. I tipped adequately but a bit lower than usual because she just seemed to not give a damn about doing her job sufficiently, though I didn’t nitpick along the way and just had to speak up when she was about to send me for drying with my nails looking, frankly, like a 7 year old had done them. When she saw my tip she gave me such a look, as if on the tip line I wrote «F*** YOU, LOL» or tipped in belly button lint.
When I asked her to please take the polish off my skin, she rolled her eyes, sighed and looked over at a co-​worker, of course to talk smack in another language. So uncomfortable, made me so ragey. Would only refer people here who have seriously done me wrong. And I can’t really think of that many people who fit the bill. And I’ve worked in fashion.

Love this place. It’s not much to look at but they do a great job and the prices are good.

Really badly done nails. The lady did a very rushed job and forced me to pay 20% tip when I had entered 18% inspite of the bad job
My manicure pedicure was literally finished in 15 mins
The quality and variety of nail polish is not good at all
Will never waste money here again

I don’t understand the poor reviews here. They have a lot of polishes to choose from, the massage chairs are good, service is quick and attentive, and prices are fair. I come here often.

Really great spotted located right near the 72^nd stop. I’ve only gotten pedicures here and I usually just walk in and can get a seat immediately. Decent color selection. Not overtop or extravagant, but if you’re looking for quick and good service this is a great spot.

Is a $ 9 manicure for crying out loud!!! No, excuse me $ 9.50 including taxes. I dare mention it since someone here made such big deal about them daring to add 50 cents! They get the job done. Is so cheap I can come in every week if I wanted to. I don’t need to be spoken to or have my bag carried or have a shoulder massage. I haven’t tried out the pedicure yet, but next time I will try both. If you think you are a Diva, don’t come here. Again, is a $ 9 manicure people!!!

Terrible service and the ladies definitely talk shit, it was very apparent. I messed up one of my nails because the woman didn’t carry my stuff for me and when I asked her to fix it she was not happy. My standards for a basic mani pedi are not that high and I was still very dissatisfied.

Horrible!!! I only write these when I am completely dissatisfied and Red Rose Nail is one of them. This was my second time in here after an eyebrow fiasco last year, I asked the woman to not take too much off and just a clean up. She decides to do what she wants and gives me very thin brows. So, I came in to try the mani pedi $ 23 deal, thinking they can’t mess this up, she charged me $ 25, I wanted a French pedicure and then she puts clear white color top coat, which looked unnatural and covered the french pedicure, she had an attitude when I said I didn’t want white. She rushed through the pedicure, where a woman next to me was in the middle of her and I still finished before her. I wasn’t extremely happy so I tipped $ 5, which she didn’t say thank-​you for.
I will never come back here again!!!

No Stars!!! There should be no stars at all!!!
I can honestly say that in my entire life this is the worst mani and padi that I’ve ever gotten.
This place was a disaster! I went because it’s close to my house and wanted a mani and padi. The lady who did them both, was soooo rude! Didn’t even introduce herself, rushed all the way through it, and in the end nothing nothing was good!
My color was off in places, she didn’t even wipe the color around the nails, the worst nightmare ever!
I paid $ 35 and now I have to wipe them and color them myself!
A shame to run a business like that!

Walked in with a friend of mine who wanted to get her nails done in the city and she asked how much was acrylic nail at the salon (meaning the powder nails). The lady had no idea what my friend was talking about and rudely said they only did powder nails. And for a good 5 minutes they played musical chairs switching the chairs we were sitting in for no reason laughing and being disrespectful talking to the other workers about us because she said acrylic nails instead of «powder» nails. And right after she was done with my friends nails she said rudely «pay $ 45»

Worst place ever. i work next door from here, i should just buy my own nail polish and do it my self, than paying $ 25+tips, worst, no respect, rude. frst time was the same, but i was thinking maybe 2^nd time will be not, but this people here are so rude.

worst place ever!!! i went there because its close to my house, and the first time i got a so so mani pedi, 2^nd time the women was in such a rush and coulnt wait to be finished my nail polish was chipped the next day on 4 nails, i gave it a 3^rd try and the women made me take out my own cuticle as she said ” im not a doctor’ i dont do that!!! i couldnt believe she had says that and ask me to do it my self, i told her i always get it done where ever i go to get a mani pedi as its the norm to get the cuticle pushed or cut, and she said no i dont do that. So remember at $ 25 a mani pedi you get what you pay for!!! i will never go back!!!
worst worst worst!!!

I’ve been going to Red Rose nail salon since An’s up the street closed about a year ago. Red Rose is a no-​frills nail salon. They do a good job, and have good chairs for pedicures. A few of them also give a very good back massage. Their prices are reasonable. Their service is polite. And the manis and pedis are quite good.

I’ve read the past reviews, but I have to say that I just got back from a manicure and chair massage. Best massage ever. Nails look great, and Anita spent a lot of time with me and did an impeccable job. People were friendly. My new nail place. Ask for Anita.

So I have no idea what people who are coming to a salon with a $ 9 manicure expect.
Sometimes I want nothing more than to come get my dragon feet taken care of after a long day, while getting punched in the back by a massage chair in silence. If you want to talk about your day, and have a leisurely time– go to a spa and pay more money for that service.
This salon does exactly what I expected, fast mani/​pedi AND 10 min massage for $ 35 bucks. Every salon up sells, please move on. If you want a certain color BRING YOUR OWN, it’s not their fault if they don’t have one color out of 6 trillion.
Place was clean, staff was very friendly and my mani pedi looks great. Quick service– I don’t have time to hang out all day at the nail salon so it was just what I was looking for. I went with my friend who also had just as lovely of an experience, so this review serves as a twofer.

unpleasant environment and super-​quick service, there wasn’t much difference between my nails after my mani-​pedi.
Mani-​pedi was $ 27 as a summer deal

DO NOT COME HERE. Literally the rudest staff ever. I came in here for a manicure and pedicure. When I told the lady doing my manicure that she was hurting me when she was filing (which was SO hard btw), she rolled her eyes and kept doing it. Then, started talking me with the other staff so loudly. Not only was this painful, but job itself was not a good quality. Wish I didn’t leave a tip, but I felt pressured from the staff.

Do yourself a favor: don’t go here.
Short story: Staff is unfriendly, rushes the job, and tries to scam you (weirdly).
Prices: I got a Brazilian wax for $ 39, an eyebrow wax for $ 8, and a manicure for $ 9.50.
Long story:
1) During the Brazilian wax, the lady was rude and gave me one-​word answers when I was trying to ask her questions about the services. It wasn’t because of the language barrier; she was asking me questions, trying to be friendly and then BOOM! all of a sudden she decides she doesn’t like me and tries to scam me (see #2). She did a decent job on the Brazilian wax, but I’ve been to cheaper and better places.
2) I asked for a manicure, and the lady told me that it was $ 9. One minute later, she changes her answer to $ 9.50. Then what is it, lady? I checked the sign and it said «Manicure: $ 9.» So basically, she lied to me to get $ 0.50 (Why? Go big or go home!).
Luckily, she messed up and gave me an eyebrow waxing for $ 8 when it was priced on the sign as $ 9 (karma!). She rushed the manicure, said my cuticles looked okay but was probably trying to finish as fast as possible (I haven’t gotten my nails done in like 2 months!), and stopped paying attention once she sat me down to dry my nails under a fan. After 10 minutes or so, I had to ask her whether my nails were finished.
Conclusion: This place — No no no no no.

Don’t do it. I wandered in here on a Saturday in desperate need of a manicure. Look, I’m not a diva but when there is a manicure place on every other corner you do come to expect certain things.
First, no attempt at finding the color I was looking for when I couldn’t find it, so I went in search and found it on another station myself (how can you NOT have ballet slippers was my thought). Sloppy, rushed manicure, didn’t even cut my cuticles (or ASK if I wanted them cut), didn’t ask how I wanted them filed, etc etc.
Do your self a favor and walk down the street.
