L & C Natura Nail

So I totally understand the reviews here. Charlie is really only nice to people he knows and doesn’t make an effort to get to know others OR welcome you. When I walked in he looked at me blankly with a level of impatience, as if I was the most annoying person on earth. The nail polish was thin and I had to ask for a 3^rd coat (which chipped on day 3 — gel polish btw). They only take cash and we’re kind of rude about it to an older lady who couldn’t read the ONE hand printed sign on the wall. There are other options. I won’t go back.

Don’t go here my nail chipped after 5 days such bullshit. Wasted so much on these nails for the tip to just fucking break and I don’t much so like come on

I’ve lived in this neighborhood my whole life! 21 years and still counting.
When this salon first opened, I thought «okay, looks decent.» I’ve gone here to do my nails a few times. Not the best quality of work. But okay, maybe it’s the person who did it.
Today, I go to do my nails, acrylic tips. In the beginning, when I first started coming here, I recall him charging $ 21 but that was one time I paid that price for acrylic tips, other than that, I’ve always paid $ 20 here… always. This time the guy screwed up my nails, making them so uneven. I kindly let him know and he plays stupid as if he has no idea on what I’m talking about. Maybe you’re wearing the wrong glasses. But, ok.
I guess he figures that he won’t get a good tip, neither would I give one for such poor work.
He says $ 21, and it’s not the point of the extra dollar but it’s like they make up their own prices whenever they feel like it to make extra money. Like, be consistent. Then he bugs out on me giving me such a hard time. Like what? Lmao sorry that you’re having such a bad day.
On top of it all, knowing I have bags on my lap, no one assists me to the nail dryer resulting in me to mess up my nail. I ask him to do it again. He shouts, «be careful! Ok be careful!» in front of everyone. How rude. I wouldn’t have messed my nail up if you had assist me in the first place and on top of that you shout at a customer? What the heck. And on top of that, when I asked for the name of the place (because I never payed attention to the name of it) they totally ignored me as if they didn’t understand English.
The woman start giggling and talking in Chinese which is such low class. It has come to the point where I’ll never come here again. I’m tired of paying for money and not getting the results that I am looking for. My friends have complained too. Definitely not worth coming here. So rude and unprofessional! How are they still in business?!
There’s a salon on Cortelyou & Coney Island. One of the workers there, Anna, iz zee best. I’ll go there for now on. No need for this kind of business in my neighborhood.

I have supported this Nail Salon for 3 years. And they simply get more & more arrogant & aloof each time. Interesting, given I religiously tip $ 10 for a manicure alone. Today marks the end of my support & loyal patronage. I am. shocked & disappointed that the owner & ALL present, staff & customers, IGNORED a very Senior Citizen & let her wait, on a hard seat, for over an hour. How? When there were empty pedicure chairs? Surely it was possible to seat her in a comfy pedi seat during her wait? I politely & discreetly asked while at the dryers, if one of the staff could maybe offer the lady a better place to sit, but was smirked & shrugged off by rude customers and staff. I was sad & sickened by the NASTY energy in there today. Now all the other negative reviews make sense. I’ll never go back. Ever.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS PLACE! I wish I could give it NO star the ppl here even more the owner Charlie are rude as hell they want to do what they want to do and if you don’t want what he wants you to pay for he will not do your nails he said my nail was broken when it wasn’t wanted me to put a new set on ALL my nails when I just finish getting a new set a week ago from the other nail guy name franky who is nasty nasty the ppl in this place have no costumer service what so ever

I stopped in after work for a Gel French. It’s not natural looking to me and the lines are crooked. I’m going back tomorrow. My nails are all crooked.

This is one of the most unprofessional nail salons I’ve been to in a long while. The owner didn’t make eye contact with any client that came in the door, just proceeded to «bark» «pick a color». The individual that did my work said the same thing, «pick a color» like I don’t know that’s what I’m going to do. The saddest thing is they seem not to want to care if someone can actually understand what they’re saying, (taken for granted). But rest assured, they are not pleasant, saying horrible things about people .
. And this is why Cortelyou road is being proliferated with more nail «Spas & Lounges», like Element Beauty Lounge @ 1016 Cortelyou Road, (718) 282‑3287

I’m giving 2 stars just because they were nice to me and my girl friend (we went there yesterday), it’s a pretty nice and clean place, we had fun there, but also, we can have fun everywhere :) Why only 2? because my manicurist was so unprofessional!!! I didn’t ask her name! She cut my cuticle too deep so I was bleeding 3 (!!!) times! It was so painful! In Russian we call it PIZDEC! Today I went there again, cause my nails was peeled! Hooooooow!!! So Kitty re-​do it, looks better, but I don’t recommend this place to anybody!
P. S. My gf said «pls don’t go there, they extremely rude. I try to talk with my friend, but their Chinese went so loud that I couldn’t talk!».
Good luck ladies, and read review before u choose this place. I don’t even know how come I pick this place, sometimes it happens, so disappointed!

Charlie, Frank (his son) and Kitty are the best! Seen this place really grow after the last owners left nearly 10yrs ago. They work hard to raise the bar for spots in the neighborhood. I bring friends all the time who love the experience.

What a horrible place with a horrible attitude. Check: I am paying you for a service so you are doing me any favors, the owners and the employees attitude is insufferable.

This is the worst nail salon on planet earth. They are so cheap with the polish. I can’t believe how horrible they are with customer service. If you want a good pedi or mani this is not the place for you! Don’t waste your money!

Terrible gel manicure – they did it wrong, so it peeled on day 2.
The owner is also rude. Never going back.

Absolute worst manicure I’ve received in my life. I was in utter shock and disbelief at how they hired someone so incapable of painting nails. A child could have easily done a better job. Avoid at all costs!

I have been to L & C twice since my last review. Was hoping to be able to give them an upgrade this time around but no luck. They do a mediocre mani/​pedi and the guy at the first station to the left is inexcusably rude. Not worth my time or money.

Disappointing manicure. She didn’t ask what shape I wanted my nails, so I got round when I prefer square. I noticed after I left that there were little bumps in the polish that occur when you apply it too thick. I would give it fewer stars but at $ 18 for a mani/​pedi, you get what you pay for.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood my whole life, so greater than 20 years or so and I’ve seen this nail salon bloom into an amazing place. For a couple of years now I’ve been getting my nails done regularly from this salon and I must say it is the best salon around. They recently had a renovation done so it looks amazing now and the customer service is the best. I usually get a gel manicure but from time to time I get acrylic nails for special occasions.
Be careful at what time you go, you can get hit with a bum rush and may have to wait long but it’s def worth it.
I usually get my nails done from Frankie, he’s amazing, from getting the perfect shape to an even coat.
I would def recommend this salon over the others in the neighborhood plus it’s extremely cheap
I pay $ 20 for a gel manicure which is amazing compared to a lot of the other salons I’ve been to but because of the renovation I’m just waiting for the prices to go up. *fingers crossed*

I love going to this place. It’s a great pedicure for the price and all the men I have had have been fantastic. I brought a 7-​yr old there for her first pedicure and they were adorable with her.
If you’re deciding between this salon and Cinly (across the street), it’s no contest. BY FAR — L&C is better. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the fancier salons, but when you’re paying under $ 20 for a pedicure, I don’t really expect that!

I would only recommend this place because the manicurist I had, Kitty, did a pretty good job on my nails and it was dirt cheap. I don’t get my nails done often so I don’t know if this is usually done but she let me choose a different color for my hands. And she fixed one of my nails when I accidentally smudged it while putting on my shoe.
The place was hygienically questionable. Everything in there looked pretty worked over but it surprising did not have much of a chemical odor when I walked in. But then again there was no one in there at the time. Also, they only let you get a 10 min massage with the chair. And I think Kitty may use her latex gloves more than once because I saw her take them off and pocket them.
Other than all these things, if you like yourself a cheap mani/​pedi deal for $ 17, and aren’t afraid of cooties, then this is your place.

Absolutely agree with the other reviewer on this place! It doesn’t look like much, but don’t let appearances fool you. My daughter and I went in for pedis and got attentive, thorough and gentle service. An unbelievable $ 15 each for everything!!! and our toes, feet and legs were super happy when we left :)

I just moved to the neighborhood from Chicago. Every time I walked by this place it always is filled, which is a good sign. I was looking for a place close by that can do acrylic nail fills and decided to try this place out.
First impression, it’s small but very clean, some nail salons that do acrylics tend to smell a lot like chemicals and such, this place didn’t.
The staff was very nice.
The price is great! I usually pay $ 12 in Chicago for an acrylic fill, but it’s just that, no polish, no manicure, just topcoat, if I wanted color add another $ 5. Here it was $ 15 for acrylic fill, but it included color, manicure and hand massage!
Regular manicures are $ 9 and they do Mani/​Pedi for $ 18, I think I found my nail salon.
I will definitely return in 2 weeks for another fill, I may try a pedicure next time.
