Livia’s Nails & Spa

Tried today for the first time. I have been searching for a nail salon like this for a while. Reasonable prices and great service. Also very cozy with relaxing music. Well sanitized. Definitely will be my new regular spot. Got a gel manicure and gel pedicure. $ 61 not bad and awesome job. Clean place and they sanitize everything. Amy was very good. HIGHLY Recommended!

This place is a discover! I used to go to another place but from today Amy changed everything. She took care of me, my mani and pedi has been a great experience. I had mani, pedi and 10 minutes massage for $ 35 (I think it’s from Mon to Wed). ++++++++++

I would recommend this nail salon over any other in Sunnyside. Livia’s is very clean and the staff is friendly. Their prices are on par with the rest of the neighborhood. I got a full set of acrylics and they came out exactly how I wanted them. They take walk-​ins but I would recommend calling ahead for an appointment, especially on the weekend. I will definitely come back.

I’m not picky about my nails and I normally go for a mani with clear nail polish for low maintenance wear. I got a manicure at Livia and I knew that I would be a regular customer. The establishment itself is clean and has a relaxing vibe. The nails techs are thorough and pay attention to detail. My manicure lasted a while, and as a bartender my hands are constantly submerged in water. Also the nice shoulder rub at the end is a welcome addidtion. I actually went for a massage for an extra 10 minutes. While I was not picky before I’ll probably be now, as I’ll be comparing other establishments to Livia.

I started coming here when they first opened earlier this year. It’s close to home reasonably priced and excellent service.
They have tons of colors to choose from, they play calming music and there usually isn’t a very long wait to be seen.
I like to work with Linda she really takes her time with the manicure making sure there aren’t any stray pieces of skin and that the color really sticks. My gel manicure usually last 10 – 14 days.
Linda also gives the best massages I have ever received. I try to add on a 10 min massage whenever I’m not pressed for time. I recommend booking her for a 30 min massage appointment. Words cannot describe how amazing she is.
Don’t forget to get your rewards card to get stamped every time!

I made an appointment and Livia graciously fit me in the same day. I can be particular when it comes to getting a mani/​pedi and tried this salon after being disappointed at another salon. My birthday is tomorrow and wanted festive looking nails. When I arrived I was taken right on time. I brought a picture of what I wanted and we had a discussion about what would look good. I love, love, love my gel manicure w/​design! Livia does meticulous work and my nails are perfect. I will certainly be back!

This is my new home! I’ve been going to the same place for 20yrs and got tired of the boring nails and lazy service they were giving me. Been here since May and although I’m a picky nail addict, they usually put up with me and do what I want. Livia is the friendliest ever. She is super sweet and funny, always in a good mood. The place is very clean, sparkly and has a huge selection of regular and gel polishes, along with charms, bling, etc. they also have awesome spa pedicures. A must try!

This place has phenomenal customer service — everyone is so sweet and really does a great job. The quality is great, especially for such inexpensive prices. Nails last long and look great. Allow a full hour for a regular mani-​pedi. They take a while because they really take their time, which is wonderful. (That’s my only complaint, but it isn’t really a complaint.) And they have a GREAT selection of colors from good brands. I never go anywhere else; I love that I live so close by.

Amazing customer service ! Extremely friendly and pleasant. Ladies if you haven’t been here come and call before hand there is a reason this place is always packed. I always feel refreshed walking out of here.

Finally found my local spot had a great first time experience with gel the young lady that did my nails was fast & did a very satisfying job. Customer service was welcoming and pleasant from the moment my mother and I arrived. I absolutely recommend this place prices are fair, variety of colors, & they do designs.

Wow. I’ve lived in the Sunnyside part of Woodside for 10 years and have never gotten such a great mani/​pedi without going into Manhattan and paying Manhattan prices. True that they’re more expensive that other local places, but the quality is so much higher, it was worth it. Fantastic gel manicure with an unbelievably large choice of colors. I went early and there was no wait. Thanks Unilocalers for the recommendation!

I’m super picky about nail salons and how I’m treated as a customer. I also get a manicure every week rain or shine and a pedicure every 2 – 3 weeks.
This place is the best! Their manager is lovely, remembers everyone’s name and the staff is friendly as well.
They use disposable packets that are used on you for only that one visit. Also they clean the pedicure station after each use and the place is impeccably clean.
If you want to get speciality pedicures then you are in luck. So far I’ve tried the Mango Pedicure, and Lemon one including the Callus Removal treatment. Both were great.
One last thing to note is that they have a great nail polish selection– OPI, Color Club, Essie, YSL (!! small amount but still!!!), Ciaté, and a variety of Gel Nail polishes as well. So if you can’t find your color well then I don’t know how to please you!
I love it so much that I’ve ditched all my other salons and this has become my regular go-​to.

Love this place so much, it is the best nail salon in sunnyside. It is so clean and used all disposable sanitized Kits for each customer. All staffs are so friendly and my pedicure with the design was the best of ALL. Highly recommend for everybody, will come back soon.

I have my girl Linda whom I would follow around the world. She is meticulous, attentive and loves her job. I followed her here from another salon. She truly makes my week and trip here so worth my while. This nail spa is beautifully decorated and the owner as well as staff are friendly and attentive. I wouldn’t go anywhere else as I am blissfully happy when I come here. They have all these beautiful nail appliqués and innovative nail designs. Come and feel the Zen here at Livia’s.

Went back a few days ago– Livia greeted me very warmly (I love greetings!) Was in a bit of a time crunch so only could do a manicure. The lady who did my nails was very nice. The tools were in individual sanitary packages, which I was thankful for. They had also updated their color wall (there are two sections of colors)! Thank you for considering my review last time, Livia.

I visited here today after reading the reviews on Unilocal.I originally made the appointment for 6 but changed it to 5. I came at 5 and waited about 30 mins because they had another customer scheduled for 5 which I understand since I made the time change. It is a clean place with quiet and calm background music and atmosphere. They use one-​time-​use tools for all the cutting, filing, buffing, etc.
The manicure itself is alright. I had Li who was sweet. The polish is translucent in some areas and I could have used another thin coat. On the fingers with glitter, the polish was a bit too thick. I asked for two coats of smaller glitter polish (should have said one coat). Li dabbled on the third coat of bigger glitter polish to place the glitters on the nail which led to really thick application but painting them on wouldn’t get the glitters on the nail so it’s understandable. While my hands were drying I just smoothed out the thick polish for evenness and it thinned as it dried.
The manicure was $ 10 which is more than the usual $ 7 in the area but they have a lot of special combos during the week for a reduced price. Li took care in doing my nails. Went in at 5, started at 5:30 and left the place an hour later at 6:30. I’m satisfied overall and my nails are looking real cute so I’m a happy camper.
P. s. I saw a girl getting acrylic fills by I think May and she left with really nice nails.

It really depends on who you get. I came here because it’s new and it’s got a good deal for 23 $ mani pedi on weekend. I feel like my manicure was sub-​par as it didn’t look any different (didn’t listen to me to cut short or file) than I had it before. Painting was okay. Pedicure better than manicure. I agree with Becky L that this place is clean, but the tools don’t look it. the one time use disposable kit is $ 1 extra and is just the filing board stuff. Not sure if that’s worth it. as the metal cutting tools are the most risk for transfer of germs since there may be blood contact. *shiver* Wish I paid more attention to whether it came from a sterilized pouch but I was distracted by picking out my nail color. They have a great selection btw, same goes for gel colors.
The SO really enjoyed his extra callous removal done by the short young girl (I forgot her name but I think she’s the manager/​owner?).
Takes CC with no extra charge. Not bad.

Just went in for a manicure. Very friendly staff and prompt service. It looks like it gets crowded later in the day since I was there early but glad I went. Not really into pedicures but they have a 20.00 deal for mani and pedi during the week and fri to sun is 23.00!

Got a great mani-​pedi for $ 20! Very satisfied with the cleanliness and service overall. Livia was very attentive, offering me magazines during my pedi and ensuring I was satisfied the whole time. There’s a wide selection of nail polishes — even some YSL ones!
I’ve been to French Glamour, Sunnyside Nails, Sunny Nails, Karma, and Lotus in the area but let me just say that Livia’s has own me over! Will definitely be back!

This place is brand new, like just opened about a week ago (cue Bobby Shmurda dance)
It’s very clean, all nail polishes are brand new and we’re all just trying it out for the first time so obviously my review wont be able to tell if its a consistent good or not.
The services I got were: Color Gel Manicure and regular pedicure for $ 35 (it’s a current special going on now) I took a look at their board of regular prices and noticed they priced their services similar to Karma and Pure Spa… not sure if they realize their location is not either of those places. This space is new and pretty yes, but I don’t think it merits to be in the same price/​league as the above mentioned.
This is still on the dead side of Greenpoint Ave, still a small space (no matter how freshly painted) and offers the same service quality as Sunny Nail on 43^rd Ave, which may I say are less expensive.
I hope this place survives because we need some life on the tail end of Greenpoint Ave but the verdict is still out on Livia’s Nail and (questionably) Spa
