Spring Nail Spa NY

Over-​all service is terrible. Stay away and save your time and energy. My pedicure lasted for only 10 mins, kinda ridiculous.

This was the absolute worst place I have ever done my gel manicure and a pedicure. Firstly, when i sat down to get my feet done, it took the woman about 10 minutes or less to do it. There was barely any scrubbing or soaking, only putting my foot in the water, getting them wet, rubbing them for a few minutes then painting them, and that was that. The polish I choose was nothing like what it was advertised to be, very pale and dull. Secondly, I got my gel done and within 3 days, it was chipping and coming off. This is the first time my gel has ever done that. Never again will I visit this place of business.

Not my go to place by any means but it’s near my job and they are very quick in getting you seated. Not worth the price but that’s neither here nor there. I’m more upset at the random upcharge out of no where.
Pedicure on the price list I have at my desk said 17 $. The price list there at the salon said 18 $ yet my receipt said 19 $… then theres the «I don’t really want to touch you even though I offered you a massage twice» little rub they do while you’re signing the receipt… yea, stop that. It’s not cute and it makes everyone involved uncomfortable especially when it’s lasts all of 2.5 seconds and u just walk away without a word when you’re done.
The rent in fidi is high so I’m sure they would LIKE to upgrade their furniture and polishes but unfortunately I don’t see it happening anytime soon. Maybe that’s why they’re padding checks without notification. They probably gonna wow us with a grand reopening… prolly not but it doesn’t hurt to hope and dream right?

Really not great. They seem rushed and simply want people in and out the chairs. They don’t clean the nail properly (just file and slight cuticle cutting) … I wasn’t happy at all

I work close by and saw the sign for $ 22 mani/​padi so I stopped by after work to try it out. The place isn’t super welcoming — chairs are old and cracked and the ladies there did not smile or say hello — everyone just seemed surly, heads down, like they didn’t want to be working there at all.
Lina (she had a «Good» smiley face on her name tag), was my manicurist. She wasn’t too friendly but I figured that as long as she does her job well, I didn’t need someone super chatty doing my nails. So yes, grunts was basically what I got along with the precursory, «Square or round,» «pay now,» etc.
It’s not a spa, don’t expect to come in and feel relaxed. I felt tensed because she was rough — she drew some blood when removing my cuticles, and when she asked if I wanted the $ 28 mani/​padi + massage deal, I politely declined. (I’m 8 months pregnant and most, if not all manicurists, avoid asking pregnant women if they want to be massaged at this point to avoid bringing on early labor. She insisted, saying that she could do a foot massage, which according to her, is totally ok while pregnant. At this point, I was thinking, «Wtf? That’s where all the pressure points are to induce labor, you dummy!»)
She didn’t seem too thrilled and carried on with my nails, sighing and looking like she was tired and ticked off at the same time. At this point, I just wanted to get out of there so I sat still and let her finished working.
When we were done, she walked with me to the hand driers and «massaged» my shoulders for literally, 3 seconds. It was totally half-a$$ed and she touched me like I had the leprosy. I let my nails dry, walked out, forced a cheery, «Bye!» and no one responded.
All in all, you get what you paid for. I would probably not go back; I’ll pay the extra for good customer service — if I wanted a subpar mani/​padi, I’ll have my four-​year old daughter do it for me at home.

Stopped in for a simple manicure. Yes, the price is right, but even so I expected at least a somewhat tidy application of the polish. The manicure looked no better than if I had done it at home myself, with some of my nails looking like it had been applied with a non-​dominate hand. Oh well. Would rather spend the extra $ 5 someplace else and have a nice, neat manicure.

This place is HORRIBLE, a TRUE NIGHTMARE! I came in for a pedicure, they sat me in the chair and had my feet in the water for 26 minutes, waiting to get my pedicure done. Woman finally comes over, I have to tell her to use the tool to clean under the nails. Never have I had to do that before. She didn’t file my nails, didn’t buff them, the paint was uneven, I’m SO ANGRY! Good reviews in this place have to be bought, it’s truly ridiculous. Needless to say I will never come here again! I hope this place shuts down for good.

Today was the last time, I will come to this nail salon. Today, I have seen (and felt) something I have never seen (or felt) before in a nail salon. My manicurist had very long nails and they were pressing into my flesh where they almost drew blood. I tried to tell her but her limited English didn’t allow her to comprehend that she was hurting me’; my exclamation of pain finally made her understand.
I had to struggle telling her that I didn’t want my cuticles touched. She filed one hand, then totally forgot the other. Again, I couldn’t make her understand. So frustrating. When she painted by nails, I swear a 3 year old who just learned how to color within the borders of a coloring book would have done a better job. Because I’m such a soft touch, I still gave her a $ 3 tip but I will never come back here.

Okay, so I read the reviews and in the past have totally skipped this place but today out of quick need I stopped in. The place was PACKED, I couldn’t believe with all the negative reviews how busy they were… I was greeted promptly by Selena (no idea what her real name is but that’s the name she gave me, she spoke English very well and seemed to be the one in charge), I was told to wait in a chair at a manicure table. Another woman who was for lack of a better term, less-​chatty, did all the work of my manicure but traded with Selena for the polish part, maybe because I wanted a French manicure I currently have the shortest nails possible, as they kept reminding me. Both women were however, very very polite and for a quick French manicure they did an excellent job. I have to say the entire time I was there, people (both men and women) just kept rolling in asking for manis pedis, it was crazy to watch them work… anyway, my nails look great and I felt totally comfortable there. There wasn’t a nice massage at the end like my regular place in Brooklyn but it was fast and cheap, $ 13.50. I wouldn’t go to relax but I will go back if I need a quick good mani.
Go in, but know what to expect when you do and you’ll probably have a much nicer experience. I’d go back.

Absolutely the worst place you can go get a pedicure. Just got one done and the woman was done in 8 minutes. That’s how long it took for her to wash my feet and try and paint my nails. I stopped her and asked for the manager who told me that in order to get callouses removed it was an extra $ 6!!! Which is out of Thai world crazy because I Didn’t want callouses removed, I wanted the dead skin removed. She then proceeded to tell me that the stones don’t work that well and that’s why I should get the callous remover. Hugest scam artists!!! DONT GO HERE unless you need someone to wash your feet and give you a shitty paint job.

Decided to get a gel manicure done here right before Thanksgiving, even after reading bad reviews. The lady doing my nails cut the side of my finger while doing my cuticles, which continued to bleed for the whole appointment. No apology. On top of that she failed to remove all of my red nail polish before putting on the gel coat. Numerous people asked me why my nails were red around my skin. I will NEVER go back here. First gel manicure was made into a very bad experience

For some reason, I keep giving this place a chance. They charge you $ 30 for a gel mani. They have OPI colors and you can color match your pedi. The colors it self wasn’t the issue. I had a nice chinese lady who gave me both the mani and pedi. I chose gel mani and regular pedi and it was 44 $ + TIP.
The gel mani PEELED off after 2 days so i was very disappointed since it was supposed to last for 2 weeks. this place just sucks. Don’t be fooled by cheap prices. Theres plenty of other places in FiDi where the prices are similar and i think the quality is better. Honestly spend the extra 20 $ and get a gel mani for 50 $. At least it will last longer and not peel off after 2 days.

I have actually been here a few times because of its great location. I have never waited more than several minutes 3 out of the 4 times I am seen straight away. Today I had my 2^nd Gel manicure ever and I was impressed. Now my toes and fingers are fab. Very professional staff and they greet you with a small bottle of water for your massage chair pedicure ^_^

For $ 20, I can’t really expect much more. Knowing Chinese will be particularly helpful if you have extra requests. The mani and pedi barely lasted a week, and there was very minimal massaging time included. They will try to entice you to pay extra for a massage. This place is fine if you want a quick color fix but probably not so great if you’re looking for some high quality relaxing time.

So today out of total desperation, I decide to try this salon because it’s close to my school. I KNEW they did not have good reviews but I didn’t possibly think they could mess up a very basic manicure (not even a gel manicure)
Service was fast, so I’ll give 2 stars but the lady literally rushed my manicure. Secondly, my polish looks terrible all because she applied the top coat way too thick and untidy. She really didn’t deserve even that small tip I left. So disappointed :/​No wonder they have 2.5 stars.

Me and three of my friends decided to go get nails done last min on a sat night. They took all of us right away. The color selections were good, super fast without compromising the quality.
Services might not be superb, but I can’t expect a five stars service when I’m paying a economical price, right?
Defn would go back again

Ha been here once before and it wasn’t bad and the prices are good for the area so decided to give it another try.
DO NOT GO HERE.
Very unprofessional staff and ate terrible at what they do!
The girl plucked away at my cuticles so much I was bleeding on every nail. She did the same thing to my big toe. The blood ending up ruining my pedicure so I pointed it out she used nail polish remover to remove it and that burns. When I said that hurt she laughed!!!
My nails were filed so much they were all about to break and they were all crooked on top and j had to have her go back over all of them.
Worst experience ever. Never has a technician made me bleed then laughed about it.

I’ve lived on this same block for years and on occasion I find myself at Spring Nail but let me tell you, they have been consistently terrible for YEARS. This is your go-​to place for an ABSOLUTE last resort mani-​pedi. There’s a reason why there is a 45 minute wait at the place across the street, but Spring Nail will take you right away.
Here is what you can count on every single time you visit Spring Nail:
Rude and extremely pushy, up-​selling staff. You’ll be asked 8 times if you want a massage or spa pedicure, even after saying no the first 5 times.
Staff who will talk smack about you in a different language as if their customers are the scum of the earth, because you turned down their offers 8 times.
Staff who will give you snarky attitude when you pay/​tip with your card.
Dirty floors and pedicure chairs.
Old, re-​used pedicure flip flops.
Watered down polishes.
No customer should have to pay, and sit through a mani-​pedi under these circumstances, ever. I have no idea why Spring Nail values cash over their customers. CLEARLY this doesn’t work out for them, and hasn’t for years. It would be one thing if every girl walked out of here with nails looking like Beyoncé’s, but in actuality, you’re lucky if your polish lasts the commute home. #sorrynotsorry

I normally don’t write bad reviews but for the few that I do, it’s about somewhere I HATE AND WILL NEVER RETURN.
THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER with mediocre borderline job that’s not even worth even a penny! I only considered returning because this was close to home BUT NOT ANYMORE. I will walk an extra 10 mile than come back to this place.
While doing my nails, the manicurists were gibbering with each other in mandarin and weren’t really paying attention in doing my nails. I was really annoyed. I thought it was horrible service, so I tipped her maybe about $ 3 for $ 20 mani & pedi, that’s still 15%, which is the mini for service. After she received the tip, she spoke to the others in mandarin with a dissatisfied expression and returned to finishing my nails in an unpleasant manner. I speak Cantonese but do not understand Mandarin. I was able to make out that she was gossiping about me, not too sure what but probably something about the tip. I was furious, and immediately told her to stop doing my nails and demanded for a refund. The manager came to apologize but I insisted on leaving, and that the manicurist was beyond RUDE.
Sorry but this place does not do a good job and to top that, the WORST customer service I’ve ever experience in a nail salon. SHE was lucky I even considered giving her a 15% tip. THAT B*#@$@#$@#$!!! NOT EVEN A ONE STAR!

I will never go to this salon ever again. Like the experience Mel Y noted below, after I paid $ 46 for a gel manicure and a pedicure, and tipped $ 10, the manicurist said I had to «tip more.» I said «$ 10 is more than 20%. How much more do you want?» I was so mortified, I didn’t know what to do. She said that the tip should be at least $ 15 because «we give you discount on pedicure» You did?! What on Earth does that have to do with anything? I gave her another $ 3 because I felt like she really needed it, otherwise she wouldn’t have demanded it the way she did.
My gel manicure was supposed to last two weeks but instead starting lifting after only 4 days. It’s May, so it’s not especially humid out and I have a dishwasher, it’s not like I’m scrubbing dishes daily. The manicurists were screaming while they were working on customers, which I find irritating. I cannot forgive shaking a customer down for more money and I see that this is common practice here. How dare you? You just lost my business.
