Mon Cheri

This is my 2^nd time here — I didn’t particularly enjoy it the first time, but i figured, why not give it one more try.
As for quality:
I chose a safe Nude Color
My Technician Talked the whole time, she Gestures with her hand while talking — Therefore taking pauses from her work on me.
I was Nervous for the lack of attention while she is cutting my cuticles– she was talking so much that she accident nicked me. If you ladies do Gel nail, you know that it burns like a Mutha F-​er when the the UV bakes your wound — I hate that.
Painting Technique:
it was sloppy
I got nail polish under my nails causing my under skin to stick to the nail
there was Polish painted over the side of my nail — onto my skin. Now it is peeling. (i just got it done 2 hrs ago)
color was applied unevenly — now i have a Gap by my cuticles in different places.
In Conclusion:
Service is no Good.
thank God i chose a Nude Color.
No, i will not go back.

I have been to this place maybe 3 times. My 3^rd time was the last time. I walked in and no one acknowledged me. Then they made me feel bad that I wanted a manicure. They were so rude. I guess they don’t want to work. This place should shut down.

Wish I read the reviews before coming here… Went for a manicure and my nails chipped the next day. The staff is incredibly rude, and the salon seems outdated, surprised they’re still open. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Wanted to give —- stars but couldn’t…I’ve been here a few times but I won’t be back. the owner has a bad attitude and rude. every time a person walks in she looks at them up and down and talk about them in her language to her workers. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.The store overall charges too much for the type of salon it is. first of all the chairs where you get your pedicures done are ridiculous. uncomfortable and they looks like your putting your feet into a sink at home. They barely use any products on you. Coco nails close by is soo much better and atleast the store is new and has amazing comfy pedicure chairs.
Just trust me you will not feel relaxed or in a good mood when you leave Mon Cheri. Just take my advice and everybody else who left a review and just go to another nail salon!

Hate to say it, but I am glad to read the bad reviews! i usually go to Time Nail Salon on Richmond Hill Road for a gel manicure/pedi…but was in the mall and in desperate need of a gel manicure (one of my nails had broken)…So I decided to stop in to ask what the price was for a gel mani… the people that work there are horrid! I stood in the front, feeling like a fool, and one woman actually refused to look at me and walked away. Then I asked one of the women that was doing a manicure and she wouldn’t even look up and muttered «$ 30.00». I turned around and walked out, I would NEVER give my business to a place like this. Not to mention, there is no where to wait, so you would just have to stand there while they give you dirty looks. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Time Nails is cheaper for a gel $ 27.00, and they are much nicer there. AVOID!

I will never go back here again. I walked into the nail salon and all the employees looked completely dumbfounded. I looked around and no one gave me any service until I went up to one of them and asked her how long would I take until another chair would open up and of course she spoke with her mask on so I couldn’t understand a word she said until I finally heard «30 minutes». From there I walked around the mall for a bit and came back to find out someone took my spot and I asked why and she said because I didn’t wait in the nail salon. THE NAIL SALON DOES NOT HAVE A WAITING ROOM OR ANY CHAIRS FOR ANYONE WAITING! I asked if she could squeeze me in later and she said they were booked for today which was bullshit. Never again.

Went here for a pedicure the other day. Never again. I have never felt so poorly treated. The woman who did my pedicure didn’t even look at me. No hello. Didn’t smile or make an attempt to make me feel my that my service was appreciated. I asked her to focus more on my feet than calves for the massage and she literally rolled her eyes and sighed. $ 25 for a pedicure and the message is the only thing different from the $ 10 pedicures anywhere else. The pedicure was so not worth it and I did not tip a dime (which is rare for me). I tip for good service only and this tech made me feel like crap. I have never felt so invisible. I will not be back.

wont ever come back, 30 $ for a french manicure that was not enjoyable nor relaxing and best part the white line chipped off within the same day. Here i am a week later with a faded vague pink and no white on my toes, for the only nail salon in the mall they need to seriously step their game up .
wasnt even worth half the price.

I came here for a white and pink LCN fill and they had no idea what they were doing. I now need a new set. The tech did not even use the correct white LCN filler, she used white polish for a French manicure.

Décor: Dirty and dusty
Pedicure: One of the best pedicures I’ve gotten in years. I dont know who she was, but she was good.
Manicure: One of the worst manicures I’ve gotten in years. There was tons of bubbles left on my nails and she barely gave me a massage.

I read bad reviews for this place so I decided a good review would be refreshing. They are a mall mani-​pedi place. It’s decently priced, for the mall, and I used the 20% off coupon. Xxx for a pedicure, not bad when ur feet are a mess. The Mexican girl did a good job with the foot/​leg massage and didn’t even really talk to the other girls around her, or giggle at my jacked up feet, the length of my leg hair (since I hadn’t shaved in a week) or how long she had to pumice my heels. I don’t live anywhere near staten island, but if I was ever back in the area I would go there while at the mall. Yes, there are cheaper places, and yes, there are places with more professional workers, better nailpolish selection, and friendlier service. There were lots of ppl in there so it can’t be bad if ppl come back. But it is what it is, and that isn’t horrible.

I completely agree with everyone’s review! I was a loyal customer to this jip joint for many years– mainly for convenience and the one nice nail tech who I was going to for years. Once she left, I noticed how even the manager was a snotty biatch to me for no reason. I would catch myself being overly nice because I couldn’t understand why after all this time she didn’t like me? Then I realized who cares she’s a manager of an overpriced nail salon on SI I don’t care what she thinks of me. Despite her rudeness, the last straw for me was when I broke a nail and needed just one fixed. I asked the girl if she could simply put the shine top coat on the rest so they would all look the same. No, five dollar. Are you f&$@&& kidding me? I have been here for years (it made me nauseous when I finally added up how much money a year I spent there on my nails) and you can’t give me one lousy top coat free of charge? I snapped told the manager you will NEVER see my face in here again– her response– okay. They get a lot of business regardless of the bad service because of mall convenience but there are so many better places! I asked around and for the past two years I have been a loyal customer to Princess Club nails whose workers are wonderfully nice, prices are reasonable, you get a points card for all the money you spend and get free services in turn– AND I get a lotion as a present during Christmas time! Can’t beat that. These Korean ladies know how to run a business. Actually I will go Unilocal them now;)

I’ve been there a few times and everytime my french manicure has come out looking chunky on the white part and it doesn’t keep for very long.
The service is meh where most of them sit around and gossip in their native language to the point of where you feel uncomfy not knowing what in the world they’re saying.
I wish they had a better place to go to in the mall =(

This is the quintessential catty nail salon. I have been here a couple of times for a mani/​pedi. I wanted at least a few experiences before I gave this place a bad review. Well, my negative opinion has never been challenged.
The pedicurists whether Korean/​Mexican/​Chinese sit and talk smack about you to their neighbor while giving your feet the rubdown. It’s something straight out of a Seinfeld episode. They survey your feet, or your nail polish choice, or your wardrobe, or anything they can criticize really. Then they start making fun of you in your own language and giggling while trying, unsuccessfully, not to make eye contact with the object of their amusement.
The prices are ridiculous for Staten Island and you can find much cheaper, friendlier options in Manhattan without all the multilingual gossip.
Thumbs down!
