Village 4 Nails & Spa

They had a great special — gel mani & reg pedi and 10 min massage for $ 53. They did a really thorough and beautiful job!

I purchased a Groupon for a gel mani and regular pedi on Tuesday morning and made my appointment for a few hours later. A little nervous about how I’d be treated as a Groupon customer, I remained cautious. But as some other reviews have mentioned, they were given great service despite their awesome discounts. Now onto my experience.
I arrived about 10 minutes early for my appointment and was told to pick a colour as I announced my appointment time. After choosing, my nail tech graciously helped bring my belongings over to my pedicure chair. I sat there looking upon tons of gel polish swatches as she started my pedicure. The place is smaller than I expected but well kept. My nail tech seems to be the manager possibly, as well as the one who speaks the most english (I’ve noticed she’s the person who answers the phone, regardless of what she’s doing). My pedicure was very good although I wish she had been more meticulous and thorough with pushing back and cutting my cuticles.
The gel manicure began at a table across from the pedicure chairs. A fan was placed at my feet to help the drying process, which I liked. This was my first gel manicure, as I usually do it at home myself. While every time I feel like I could have saved money and just done it myself, I did appreciate having someone else do it for me for once. She was meticulous with the gel polish application and made conversation here and there, which I appreciate.
I forgot to bring sandals with me that day, but thankfully they provide sandals for $ 3 a pair. My nail was tech was very careful helping me into my sandals as well as bringing my stuff over to wherever I was at the time. Unfortunately, about an hour after walking around in the sandals (alongside the

Small place but ladies are super nice, and they really pay attention to details. With or without groupon they have good deals throughout the week. Gel nails lasts almost 3 weeks and if it chips within a week they’ll re-​do it at no charge

I’ll admit, I came to Village Four once before and had a decent experience. Not great, not horrible, but nothing to write home about.
Earlier today, I made an appointment for 2 people for mani/​pedi for 4:15pm. I confirmed with the person that the price is the Monday-​Thursday special for $ 25 for the appointment.
At 4:05pm, I walked in. The woman argues with me that it’s after 4pm– so therefore the price is $ 32. I tell her I now see the sign that this special is for after 4pm; however, when I called and confirmed, you told me it was $ 25. She says «Yes but you need to arrive before 4.» Did I mention this was 5 minutes after 4? Really, you couldn’t honor the $ 7 price difference? She says «I’m sorry, I can’t give it to you for $ 25.» Even after I told her the person on the phone confirmed the $ 25 price for 4:15. Okay lady, you just lost my business and my sister’s business.
Oh and I’m a generous tipper by the way. I just happen to like deals, dislike getting duped and having my time wasted.

I bought a groupon for a gel mani + pedicure for $ 37 and I am very happy with the result. They have a broad range of gel colors to choose from, the pedicure chairs offer good massages and most importantly, the manicurists are very good. They pay attention to detail and are very gentle. I would definitely go back!

Walked in for a pedi and they were amazing! Took their time and my nails look impeccable! Will come again!

Great nail place. Not the cheapest but not egregious either. Fantastic massage services also. I will be back.

I found this place on groupon I got a regular pedicure and a gel manicure. I added in a 9 dollar callus treatment and it was sooo worth it! Eva took great care of me. I cannot stop telling my friends about this place it was amazing! Absolutely best gel manicure and pedicure in Manhattan! 100% better than Yuya nails or anyone else. I was so impressed and happy with the service. This will be my go to nail salon from now on! Thank you village 4 nails and thank you so much Eva!!!

Small quaint but excellent! M-​R special gel manicure and pedicure deal, can’t beat that! The quality is perfect as well :) Love this spot.

I had a groupon for a gel mani and regular pedi and was very happy with the way my nails came out! I’m always a bit nervous using deals, but they definitely treated me just like a full paying customer. Only slight negative was they didn’t start until
About 20 mins after my scheduled appointment time. Kinda annoying, but they had a tv with the news on, so I was entertained.
The pedi was fine but the gel mani really stood out. I told the technician that it was for my wedding and she really took her time and did an amazing job. After,
They give you a card for $ 40 gel mani /​regular pedi, so I think I will definitely come back!

The friendliest staff, and best manicure in Manhattan. I’ve tried to go other places, and I always regret it. I’m just never as happy with my manicure as I am when I leave this place. Seriously the best — and the only place I’ll get my mani/​pedis now.

Bought a Groupon for $ 40 for a gel mani and regular pedi. I made an appointment on a Tuesday afternoon and arrived a little earlier. Once I arrived, I was greeted by the owner and was impressed with the customer service I received as soon as I walked in.
I picked out my colors and the lady started working on my pedi. She took her time and wasn’t rushed, which I liked because I often walk in to nail salons where I feel like they are trying to get rid of me as fast as they can. I was super impressed with everything. The lady offered me additional services but I kindly declined.
Next stop — my gel mani. This is where it all went downhill. She started working on my nails. I felt a small cut on my cuticle and a little blood started coming out. She quickly grabbed some kind of polish (glue maybe??) and applied it to my cuticle. Uhhhh wow that BURNED. I didn’t say anything because I figured it was a tiny cut. Then it happened again. And again. So this happened for a total of 3 times. Once again, I tried to be polite and told her it was okay since she quickly apologized and realized she messed up.
Don’t get me wrong, my nails look amazing but my cuticles… not so much. Two days later I am staring at my cuticles and it hurts to even wash my hands in hot water. My cuticle on my thumb is worse than the others. The cut opened up and didn’t heal.
Luckily, I did not get an infection (not that I know of). Cutting cuticles is very unsanitary and increase the chances of getting an infection or bacteria inside. I do not recommend coming here for this reason. It can happen anywhere but it was the fact that it happened 3 times. This means that the nail technician was not careful with my nails. I will not be coming back.

Just went in for a gel manicure. Eva did my nails and she was very nice from the moment I walked in the door. Wait time was under 10 minutes and the manicure looks great. Too bad this isn’t close to where I live, this would probably be my go to nail salon.

i had a groupon for this place. came in with a friend and asked for a gel mani and a regular pedi. i asked for my toes to be the same color as my nails. IT WAS NOT THE SAME COLOR. my toes were noticeably pinker than my nails. furthermore, i felt like the staff was trying to get rid of us as quickly as possible because they told us they had appointments coming in soon (even though i had scheduled an appointment as well).
3 major points:
–my left big toe nail polish was a little messed up on the corner. instead of redoing the toe, she just painted yet another coat over it, making it a coat thicker than the other toes. the color consistency wasn’t quite right, and the toe with the extra coat had a much more intense color.
–the gel mani was painted unevenly and touched some parts of my cuticles. looks very unprofessional, sort of like i painted it myself.
–the groupon didnt cover tax and tip, which was an additional $ 12 on top of the $ 30 i paid for the groupon. if i knew i would be paying a total of $ 42 i would have picked a better nail salon elsewhere.
if the price of the groupon was a bit cheaper i wouldn’t be complaining, however, if i went anywhere in flushing to get the same service it would have been the same price but they would have done a much better job. the staff is clearly not that experienced in painting nails.
will not purchase the groupon again. will not come back to this salon again.

My nail tech was «Eva.» the review solely is around her lack of professionalism. She was your typical annoying nail tech that asks you 3x for extra services to drive up the bill. I was appalled when i gave her tip of $ 5 for a $ 30 mani/​pedi. Eva asked me rather aggressively for 2 more dollars. it was so uncomfortable and unsavory. Eva won’t have to worry about my tips ever again as I will never go back.
Ivy– the manager on the other hand was genuine and friendly so it is a shame i won’t be returning.

My new favorite in Manhattan! As always, it is difficult to give a good manicure with dark polish, and these ladies did a perfect job! $ 30 for reg mani pedi– no polish on the cuticles. I will definitely be back.
I went on a Tuesday after work and the place was empty.

Wow. Please read this review if you value good service.
I came across this salon in the hopes they will be my consistent salon since I am looking to move to the area. All of the former reviews pointed to having a positive experience here. For context, I currently live in Hoboken and have an amazing manicurist, so my standards are high. Here was my experience.
1. Called ahead of time and made an apt for 5:15pm.
2. Arrived at 5:10 and the woman greeted me (she wound up being my technician) and said it was a 30 minute wait… WHAT?! I made an apt! I made it clear I was confused by this, but said, «would you like me to come back later?» She said no no, just pick the color.
3. Fine. I’ll wait– I’ve got my phone to hold me over.
4. I end up waiting about 35 minutes. I don’t make any complaints bc I wanted to see how they would handle it. She didn’t start taking off my gel polish until I had been waiting for 25 minutes.
5. They have signs that are nickel and dining for everything. $ 5 extra for sparkle polish. $ 3 for keratin gloves. Whatever. I get it, but come on. You charge 35 $ for a gel manicure, you don’t need all that extra.
6. She did a beautiful job on my nails which made me feel a lot better about waiting. I want to make it clear that she did good work.
7. I tipped her 12% given the wait. And she said to me, «can I have a little more??» WHAT?! You made me wait for 35 minutes when I made an apt… What makes that ok or professional?
8. After I denied her request for more money she began talking to her colleagues and calling me names. I don’t think she knew that I actually could understand her…
This establishment could have the potential to be a wonderful salon. However their professionalism and lack of respect for quality service is bringing them down. I do not recommend this salon. Such a disappointment.

Great nail salon. I called the salon to ask about the groupon deal and they said they would honor it at the salon without me having to go through groupon –$ 40 for gel mani and reg pedi.
My nails came out great. I couldn’t have asked for a better job. I broke one of my nails a week later and they fixed it for free. They have a sign that says: If your gel mani chips within the week, they will fix it for free.
All together my gel mani lasted 3 weeks, it could have gone longer but my nails grow quick. Great place, highly recommend.

Love love love this place. The ladies here were so sweet, helped me with everything from my umbrella to my socks and jacket when I walked in.
2 things set this place apart from the rest: extended leg and neck massage during your service (longer than at other salons) and they actually paint the very tips of your nail (I mean the .05 mm width of your nail that is left white usually). They did the usual hot gel and Saran wrap on my toes before putting my socks on.
Best part is that my nail broke the day after and they fixed it for free (removed, cut, filed and reapplied polish)!

Still in love with my nails, won’t be getting gel anymore my nails are still recovering from the gel manicure. I’ll just stick with a regular mani pedi.
Going back tomorrow can’t wait:)
