Not Just Nails

What a terrific salon! I am new to the area and made an appointment based on all the positive reviews here on Unilocal.I was not disappointed! The ladies are all friendly and helpful. I had a pedicure by Linda who did a great job. Very neat and clean and the shop offers every color polish color imaginable. Highly recommend.

The name of this salon speaks volumes. This Nail spa is NOT just nails. As a FULL service salon they offer so much more. After researching salons offering quality services on Unilocal,I stumbled upon NJN.
Owner Kim greeted me up on arrival and luckily I was the only client in the salon on a late Sunday afternoon. Kim was professional and took time out to speak with me as a new client. This salon is very small but very posh! I love the turquoise and white theme. My technician was Sonia who offered IMPECCABLE service. I had a regular Mani Pedicure and am a very satisfied new client who will be returning.
I’ve had some nail spa nightmares in the past but glad to have a new home. The foot massage I received with my pedicure is definitely worth the drive to West Hempstead. Sonia was great. My nails were painted perfectly.
The spa provided a very intimate, tranquil environment without the hustle and bustle of most overcrowded salons. This is a great place to host a mani pedi private party. They offer threading waxing and massage services as an added bonus!

Just had my nails done for the first time after reading all the reviews. This place is fantastic, very friendly and clean. The owner Kim was very nice and accommodating and Cat did a great job on my nails!!! My next appointment is already booked. Finally found my new nail salon!!!

Awesome service. Paulette is great and always does an amazing job with my gel mani.
Disappointed that I found the place a month before I moved away to Brooklyn :(but I’ll definitely stop by anytime I’m visiting family in LI

I truly feel bad for giving such a low rating because everyone was so welcoming and friendly. But I have to be honest about my experience. It wasn’t like any other nail salon experience that I prefer or that I’m used to. Everyone is different with different standards. So I walked in and was greeted immediately. That was a good thing. But when I told the lady that greeted me (didn’t catch her name) what I wanted, which was a gel mani & pedi… She walks over to a tech, they discuss it & she comes back to tell me «you have to pick 1 or the other». That was the moment I was about to walk out then the tech says, «It’s alright I can do it real quick.» So I gave them a chance. I didn’t know it literally was going to be «real quick». Cat my tech was a sweetheart but she rushed my mani. I never had a mani finished so fast, ever. It was a little painful too. I’ve never had a nail tech push my cuticles back & cut them while they were bone dry (ouch!). I didn’t get a soak or even a spritz of water on my hand. The paint job was decent but not the best. Next was my pedicure. It was going well until Daisy had to stop & handle a police report matter because someone hit her car. Understandable. Maybe it was just bad timing or a hectic day. Like I said, everyone was a pleasure & the place was very well kept. I do believe in second chances. So maybe I’ll return in the future. No hard feelings.

I never was a Mani type of girl, With that being said I came to not just nails for a gel mani & pedi. When I arrived I was greated by 2 nice ladies who were both very friendly. The salon is very clean, the atmosphere all together was just a comfortable setting. I was searching for a new salon so i turned to Unilocal!To my surprise not just nails lived up to my expectations. My mani & pedi BOTH came out amazing and I must say the owner managed to master one thing & that is have exceptional customer service! Keep up the good work ladies!

Very friendly and most of all CLEAN!!! Yes a nice touch with coffee, expresso or cappuccino… very RELAXING

So so happy I found this place. Had a gel mani with Paulette who is super polite and welcoming. The entire staff had the same attitude. I loved that the entire salon was clean and neat. Such a good experience. The prices were also fair and I was happy to see how many services they provided as my previous nail salon offered a very limited selection of services. Needless to say, I’ll be back. Officially found my new nail salon.

Paulette got me in and out on my lunch break while I was offered a cappuccino by the owners husband! Paulette did an amazing job on my gel mani which was only$ 25! Thanks again girls

I highly recommend #NotJustNails! Kim (the owner) and her staff are so accommodating and personable! The salon is clean and decorated so cute! They use high end products and offer many services! She is an owner that cares about each customer’s experience! Definitely a must ! If your looking for the best pedicure around go there, my feet feel amazing still even after a few days! I love the color that she recommended! She gave complimentary water for my fiancé who also waited for me and offered espresso, coffee, and tea! You feel like you are in a real spa! Gel manicures are great as well! I can’t wait to go back in two weeks! Support this small business, you will not regret it !

have to write another review its all about customer service my nail broke yest and I called today and they fit me in for fill so happy didn’t have to walk for days with this nail like this !!!

The owner and her husband (Kim and Ken) are really nice. They offered me espresso — who wouldn’t love that!
Cat did my nails. She was very experienced and sweet. As a matter of fact it is my second visit here and her gel manicure and pedicure withstood since my last visit.
Today Karen is at the helm while Cat works on my daughter. I’m similarly impressed. She complimented me and said I looked 10 years younger than I am — ha! I’ll take it. Anyway, back to my review — my daughter is having tea while I enjoy coffee, all complimentary. I’m hooked — what a wonderful day to spend an afternoon with my daughter!

Only one word can describe this place… AMAZING! After a series of bad experiences in Brooklyn, I have been looking for a clean and professional place to get my mani/​pedi in my new location of Hempstead. I found this establishment after reading reviews on Unilocal as well as their Facebook page. It is a small but beautiful place with exceptional service. I’m not sure if they take walk-​ins but I made an appointment 2 days in advance. When I arrived, there was mistake with the appointment date, but I was still taken immediately for a gel mani and regular pedicure. They have a wide selection of gel and regular nail polish colors, almost like nail polish heaven — a definite A+! The nail tech was very helpful as she helped me find just the right color to match the polish I brought with me. She then began to work her magic using OPI gel polish and LED light (No UVs yessss!). The gel mani was very quick and came out pristine. The tech has great experience with nails and offered some suggestions about shaping and colors for my nails. However, what I loved about this experience was my pedicure. It was relaxing, enjoyable and most of all clean. The tech explained to me that the whole place is cleaned and sanitized every day, which put my fears to rest. I have never been so pampered at a nail salon. Finally, the nail tech was very patient with me as I did not like the color on my toes and she helped create a color for me by combining two shades. I also got a design on my manicure which I did not like but again, she was very nice about it and did another design; It was the epitome of customer satisfaction. Altogether I paid $ 40 + tip, which I feel was a great deal and more than worth it. I will definitely be returning and would recommend anyone to frequent this establishment, it is worth the money and service.

I always read the reviews before patronizing any establishment so of course I was delighted to find out that this salon got positive ones. However, I remained guarded as I made the appointment for my patient yesterday. He had woken up complaining about soreness and roughness on his soles. Long story made short…

Smiles all around! :-) :-) :-)

I love this place. My favorite and only place I do my nails. Karen is the best. New manager, Kim, is very friendly as well. Love it here

I decided to check Unilocal for a new place. I normally went to the same two places in West Hemp stead. One place rushes you out and the other seems to always have students. So I checked Unilocal and found «Not Just Nails». The moment I walked in, I felt as if I went to visit friends. the staff was so friendly!!! It is my new favorite place to go! They have a great selection of colors but i especially like the color of the week! Very cute idea and i am telly all my family and friends to go there. Cant wait to go back :)

I went here for the first time last week and I loved it! The experience was great, cat did my nails and spray tanned me which came out great! The owner Kim is so friendly and kind and does everything she can to make her customers happy, I would definitely recommend this place!

Not just nails says it all… Awesome place to relax and get pampered. I feel like I’m in a whole different place the way Kim the owner has it set up, she keeps all of her nail polishes up to date and not to mention the girls Karla and Karen who gives great mani pedi wax and awesome massages. Love this place …

Love it… All the girls do a great job… My day here consists of gel mani, pedi, wax, spray tan and great customer service. They often have good deals and even when they dont the prices are resonable.

Great place! The ladies are so friendly and it’s warm and welcoming. Karla did a beautiful job on my nails. I am not one to go for manicures often because I never found a place a really liked until now. I will take time for myself now more often to get my nails done because I felt welcome and at home with these girls :) Thank you for opening up your business in our community :)
