Nail Plus

I’ve been coming here since they opened for acrylic nail extensions and designs. I’ve always been really happy. Janet is the best. I gave 3 stars instead of 4 bc you do need to know who to ask for for nail design.

Inexpensive– $ 20 for a mani pedi. Incredibly rude. They can sometimes even be rough. They rush through your mani pedi.

I’ve been here many times over the many years they’ve been open — I moved in right before they opened many years ago. They used to be good but cheap — now, they’re cheap and terrible.
My friend got an infection from a pedicure here. I went in and asked for a gel manicure removal. The woman was rude, hurt me, ignored as I cried out in pain, and didn’t even get all of the polish off. I have to go elsewhere.
I will never go to this place again, even though it’s around the block from me.

If you’re only willing to pay 15 – 20 $ mani+pedi, don’t expect some really good quality nails done. I always get my manicures here & yet every time I’m satisfied.

$ 15 mani-pedi’s are almost unheard of – and for that price I would expect the place to be a lot dingier than what it is. The salon is actually pretty clean, which is what I care the most about when I go to nail salons. I come here when I need a quick mani-​pedi and I am too lazy to go somewhere fancier/​more out of the way. I haven’t had anyone do a bad job on my nails yet, so I think I will continue to go there until I have reason not to!

I felt so rushed and uncomfortable and that they weren’t interested in doing my nails. The pedicure didn’t even have a foot massage. Tbh I only went here because Nassau Nails had an hour wait… I’m never ever coming back to this nail salon.

Hey, it’s $ 15 for a mani-​pedi. It’s not the best I’ve ever had, by far, but also not the worst. The ladies can throw some attitude. I throw it right back, and we’re all good. If they are doing something I don’t like, I tell ‘em: water’s too hot, don’t file the sides of my nails, cut my toenails down more, really clean all the old nail polish off.
They’re trying to make a buck, I’m trying to save some. So it’s all good. I’m happy the do it quick, I want to get in and out. I’m there every week or two, and except for the time I chose a color that was not a match to my skin tone, I’ve always had a servicable manicure.
If you want a spend the money and get a spa experience, there are other places in the hood. But I find this place to be fine for my needs.

STAY AWAY! Last night I stopped by this «nail place» after work to get a quick manicure. The lady that did my nails (has a tattoo on her right hand) was rough, butchered my nails, was on speaker phone practically screaming the whole time paying little to no attention to what she was doing. She took all the length off of my nails, this is what they call «making them even» at this salon. When I asked her to stop because she was butchering my nails she made a face like I was the problem. My 6 year old niece could have done a better job. Not sure how this lady gets away with working in a nail salon, she was very rough. I actually woke up in the middle of the night because several of my nails hurt! I will now have to wait a week or two for my nails to grow back before I go to a real nail salon. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time going here.

Absolutely no frills mani/​pedis. I came in here knowing what I was getting — which was basic nail painting that I was too lazy to do myself that day or pay a lot for. And, on a weekday, how can you go wrong for $ 15 mani AND pedi. I mean, that just tells you all you need to know right there.
I got there at 7:00pm and asked for a mani/​pedi special. I was quickly seated and she started with my pedi. When she was finished, she told me the price and I replied, «no, a mani too.» She glimpses at the clock, which is 7:32pm and stated that they close at 8pm. *Blink blink* AND? So, she does my mani. Puts me in front of the air fan at the table at 7:56 and made it clear I couldn’t use the UV dryers. The other lady was handwashing the towels that they use for your pedis, and letting them air dry all around the salon.
$ 15…you get what you pay for!

UPDATE — Turns out the boss lady cut me twice and I have infections in both toes. Stay away ladies.
Listen folks. There is a reason why this place is dirt cheap. Yes they might cut you while they are clipping your cuticles. Yes their process is inconsistent and makes no sense (they push back your cuticles, cut them, THEN put cuticle oil, and then make you get up to wash it off) Huh?
But — where else can you get a mani pedi winter special for $ 15 in Northern GP. Throw in a dog sweater and bootleg Zumba DVD and you are set.
I guess I can try that fancier place on Franklin but the Unilocal reviews for that place ain’t that great either. But if the owner here cuts me again, I might have to.

2^nd try, this time for nails as i was in a rush and this place was empty. like empty, i was the only person in there… now i know why. my mani/​pedi was approx 35minutes long… great if you in a rush, awful if you want to relax and pamper yourself. even for $ 20 mani/​pedi it is def not worth it. no leg/​foot massage (like honestly less than 1min), barely scrubbed feet with pumice (with a pumice stone she cleaned with only water and placed back on station ready for the next customer!), chairs were old and broke (no massage capability), no music/​tv except for the sounds of a family arguing in the neighboring building (very relaxing atmosphere), and angry/​unfriendly manicurist (who’s credentials are highly questionable). avoid this place. it is not clean, rude staff, that act disinterested in pleasing their customers. i would recommend Lilysa Nails down the road, its cheaper and substantially better service/​massage/​atmosphere for $ 18 (mani/​pedi).

No frills mani/​pedis for $ 20. I mean REALLY no frills. The massagers in the pedicure chairs don’t even work, which is a bummer. But it works for those days when you just don’t feel like painting your own nails and you don’t feel like leaving the vicinity of your neighborhood.
As well as doing nails, they also sell bootleg DVDs, cheap junk jewelry, used clothes and dog sweaters. It’s probably the most random nail salon i’ve ever been to.

This place is the worst in Greenpoint for a fill-​in. Don’t waste your time or money…

The manicures are good but I think I’m headed for a nail fungus if I continue to press my luck.

Do NOT go here. This place is the effing WORST.
It’s tiny and there is no ventilation at all, so you’re forced to inhale air the quality of mass transit exhaust. The staff was shockingly rude — they gave me a «how dare you» attitude when I walked in without an appointment. French manicure & pedicure was $ 24, I gave the woman $ 30. She didn’t count it, just tossed it aside. After my nails were painted and dried, I got up to walk out and one of the women accused me of not tipping. I told her that I certainly DID tip, I gave her a 20, a 5 and five 1’s. She insisted I didn’t but I absolutely did, I would never stiff someone on a gratuity (even for shitty service like I received here). This scene took place in front of all of the clients, too. Not classy.
My manicure was bubbly and uneven, too.
DON’T GO HERE. Keep walking. ANY place is better than this hellpit.

I have been twice to get a manicure and is probably the best manicure I have had in NYC. Yes, I don’t go to top luxurious spas but the girls here do a pretty amazing job. My manicure lasts up to 2 weeks, i have never experienced that before! They put a base coat, two thick layers of color and a final gloss. I paid $ 20 for both mani and pedi and is all well worth it!
