Huguenot Nail

I have been coming to this nail salon well over 10 years and they are great! They treat you like family there, and will actually hold a conversation with you. They are very clean and are very great at manicure/​pedi/​waxes. There’s usually a wait, so I suggest to call ahead of time and make an appointment. Wendy, the owner is a very giggly and happy woman. She greats each and every customer that walks in the door by name. The other woman that do nails are also amazing! Some of the woman there take a long time to do your nails but it’s only because they’re trying to make them perfect and the way you want. I’ve gone in with funky designs that I’ve found on Pintrest (and some are very difficult) and they are very happy to do it.
It’s not a fancy looking nail salon like most I’ve seen, but I assure you, you won’t be dissappointed with the service. I DEFINITELY suggest this place!

5 stars hands down. The best nail salon I ever went to. It’s nothing fancy, but the women are absolutely kind and respectful to everyone who walks in. I go to Michele and she is the sweetest nail lady. I’ve been religiously going for 5 years. Wendy is a doll too. My nails always look good. I am a chronic nail biter and they are so understanding when I come strolling in asking for a new set. Lol. I also have very weak nails when I am not biting them and my tips always stay. Highly recommend. Prices low. They are sanitary, clean, and follow NY laws rigorously. I honestly never had any issues to get an appointment. At the holidays, they recognize clients, which is nice because they acknowledge US holidays when they aren’t obviously first generation US residents. That’s a telltale sign when you arrive you see all the holiday cards displayed from many happy clients. Call ahead for an appointment as it does get hectic. But you will NEVER feel rushed or uncomfortable. It has a neighborhood feel and the staff is highly engaged with their clients. What else can you ask for from a local business? This is why from the first time I went there I knew I would never go across the street. And by the way, the one time I did I ended up with fungus on my toes. Just saying

Great service and pricing!!!

$ 21 mani/​pedi on a Saturday afternoon? I couldn’t resist — but I wish I did.
I came in with acrylic nails and asked them to be taken off, and for my natural nails to be manicured. My manicurist had me put my nails in a bowl filled with acetone for 30 minutes, and when my nails began to soften slightly, she «buzzed» them off from the top layer down with the spherical rotation tool they use the buff nails. I’ve never seen this done before to take acrylic nails off because it doesn’t completely take the acrylic off. I asked her if she could snap them off by going underneath them with a flat metal tool (this is how I always have them taken off) and she said she could not do it. She continued buzzing the acrylic off — the technique left an uneven «film» on 8 of my 10 nails. The manicurist began painting over the uneven nail and it looked terrible. I tried explaining this to the manager, but there was a language barrier and it seemed they didn’t understand my request, so I stopped talking about it and paid for the service even though I was upset.
I’m sitting here a week later scraping pieces of acrylic off of my natural nails and now need to go to a different place to fix them. I will definitely not patronize this location again.

This is my holy grail of nail salons. It’s not the closest to my house but I’ve been going here probably 8 – 10 years now. Wendy (the owner) is the sweetest woman in the world and will treat all her customers like PEOPLE, not just a factory of people going in and getting shooed out. I love Danielle, Christine, and Jack (? I know it starts with a J! The only male one there). They are such sweet people and the prices are really really low. My only gripe is that their nail polish will NOT last long, so bring your own nail colors.
Otherwise, I love this place. I’ll always be coming to them for as long as I’m in Staten Island.
LOVE YOU GUYS :)
