Glamour 1

This is where I get my nails done every 2 wks. I usually show them a Pinterest pic and they emulate it.

They refused to do what I wanted with my nails and toes. I wanted my toe nails cut a little shorter and he said no long would look better and I said I didn’t care and he still wouldn’t. On my nails I wanted them square and he told me round looked better and I said I don’t care I want square and he refused and made them round. I wanted the flower on my toe to match the flower on my nail and he said no and did a different one. Not ever coming here again.

Awesome gel mani and regular pedi deal for $ 40. It comes with a paraffin heel wrap and a neck massage. By far the best quality and experience for the lowest price too.

Overall a very pleasant experience. I got a paraffin pedicure ($ 35.00), gel french manicure ($ 30)
and waxed my lower leg ($ 25) and eyebrows ($ 7). Really great atmosphere and everything looked well cleaned. Good vibe! They also offer a rewards card so that you can rack up points for free services. Will return!

When to Glamour 1 after reading the reviews, ummm glad I did. My gel tips, mani and waxed brow are on fleek… thank you Glamour 1 team; I will be returning along with my partner… the place was hard to get to because I am coming from Highland Falls and my GPS kept sending me to the wrong place; glad I did give up.

Do not spend any money here, it just is not worth it. This was my first time trying out Glamour 1 because I live almost three minutes from its location.
I walk in and received immediate attention (good!), I told them I wanted a gel manicure and the lady instructed me to start looking at the rings. As I started looking at the rings full of polished nails, the same lady shoo’d me to the next available person (ehh, okay that is fine, I like to be seen places immediately, so I go).
I sit down and she asks me for my hand. I let her know that I have not finished picking out my color. She gives me maybe 5 seconds before she starts nudging for my hand again. I was not extremely annoyed, but cognizant that this lady was a rusher. So she is cleaning my right hand as I was looking through colors with my left. I picked a very nude color because of the wedding. I told her the color, she nodded, and we continued with her cleaning my nails.
So at this point she has cleaned both of my hands, buffered my fingernails, clipped and filed them down, and pushed the cuticle back, etc (She didn’t do the greatest job, but it was fine). Instead of asking me to wash my hands off, as I have been told to do before, she goes right into the painting. She paints my nails very quickly with the clear, tells me to put them under the light while she paints the other nail. After less than 15 seconds, I am taking my first hand out from under the light for her to do a first coat of nude. This went on for all my coats! Most people who get Gel on the regular know that your fingers need to be under that light MORE than 10 seconds at a time. She was about to start her top coat when I looked at my fingernails, the nude was so streaky! I could see right to my fingernail and could see every unthoughtful stroke. I told her I wanted three coats, she looked at me annoyed and asked «three?»…I said yes strongly, so she proceeded with three (Thank goodness because a couple of days later even three seemed too light and I had gotten nude before without this being a problem). I was finished with my full manicure in 15 minutes. Some people think thats a good thing, I felt that I was rushed, I did not enjoy the experience, and I felt the work was poor. It was three days before my gel started to chip, which I predicted would happen. Unfortunately I could not go back and complain to have them redone because I was in the wedding that weekend. Needless to say, if you want a quick manicure that will chip in a few days, go here. If you want someone to take their time and act as if they care you are spending your hard earned money, go somewhere else.
I gave them two stars only because the place seemed clean. Had I seen one ounce of dirt or dust, they would have gotten a 1 for service.

I agree with the post about inconsistency. Some visits, well done pedicure and massage. But today, and two other times too, I got a less than satisfactory pedicure. Almost no leg rubs/​massage. Woman seemed as if she could care less. And then her back massage was 2 minutes of pinching. Not sure about going back.

The reason for the low stars is INCONSISTENCY. First time, OK.
2^nd time, had to leave due to crowd in there that wasn’t managed properly.
3^rd time, decent.
4^th and LAST visit… had a shellac manicure & I don’t think he had much experience. I did NOT get the usual treatment of cuticles pushed back or anything detailed. The result was that the polish was on very thick & irregular.
The icing on the cake was the know-​it-​all younger girl that did my eyebrow wax. She spoke very good English & I specifically asked to have them just cleaned, NOT thinned. She proceeded to move very quickly & bragging about her experience. When I looked in the mirror, I was shocked! Hardly any eyebrows. I stewed about it walking to the car & then when I really saw what was done in the rear view mirror of my car, I flipped out. Marched back in & complained to manager about what had happened & she just smiled at me.
I asked for my money back, which she gave, but no apology. With all the new techs in there lately, I have to question their degree of training as well as the lack of cleaning the sinks in between pedicures.
Oh, and my big toenails were not cut straight, the polish uneven, and a spot missed.
Done with this place.

Glamour 1 is fast and inexpensive. There is rarely a wait although it’s usually busy but they have plenty of employees to handle customers. Large selection of services including waxing. I am not a fan of wax but I do see quite a few customers come and go while I’m there getting my nails done which is a good sign. I’d recommend for a quality manicure and pedicure for a reasonable price.

After numerous horrible experiences at other walk in nail salons from Newburgh to Poughkeepsie, I have to say, Glamour nails is the best I have found for pedicures. I think the rates are very reasonable ($ 22.00 for the regular pedicure, which includes the leg scrub and massage), those I have dealt with have been polite and accommodated my specific requests (and they don’t rush thru everything or talk to the other tech next to them while they are working) and (usually) there is no wait. The only time I had any wait at all was when I walked in with no appointment 2 days before Christmas (they were packed). I always watch what is being done to make sure I like the nail shape and the way they are applying the polish so I haven’t had any complaints because I make sure it is done the way I want. I usually get 3 — 4 weeks out of each pedicure — I would recommend them — I’ve never had a problem.

I read a few reviews and decided to give this salon a try due to it’s proximity to my home. I usually obtain my pedicures from two upscale salons in Manhattan.
The salon is located in an ideal location but can not accommodate a large number of customer traffic. My walk-​in wait time was approximately a half an hour on a Tuesday morning, possibly making an appointment may provide customer satisfaction. The ambience is very lackluster, nothing special to write home about. The staff are hospitable but not all trained for the services the salon provides.
I opted for a milk and honey pedicure, my technician took his time with the service but I was not happy with the application of the nail polish or the shaping of my toe nails. I also wanted an additional service but had to wait for the main technician to finish with another customer due to the inability of my tech to provide the service. After already being at the salon for more than two hours, my patience was exhausted.
I cannot recommend this salon, I rather pay the toll over the Newburgh-​Beacon bridge and visit Sage nail salon in Poughkeepsie.

I went here based on what I read on Unilocal & I was very happy I did! While it was a little further from my house than I wanted it was worth it! I have tried the Gel polish at MANY different locations. Pretty much 80% of the times I have had it done it peels right off. I am almost at 2 weeks now & I bet I can get 3 weeks out of it from Glamour! And they only charge $ 25!!! I will be back!

I love this place! A relaxing atmosphere and the staff is very welcoming. They are very attentive! I get my eyebrows done here and what is a very fast, perfunctory service in other places is given great time and attention. Their prices are incredibly reasonable for the level of service you receive. I have recommended this place to many people.

This salon was a great find! I was in town for my wedding and made an appointment last minute with my mom and sisters– we were very impressed! There were plenty of nail technicians so all of us could get pedicures at once, and they have massage chairs you sit in! Very relaxing, and all the technicians were very nice and attentive. We had a great time. The only thing we think could have improved is the shaping of our nails for the manicures, but other than that, my French gel has lasted two weeks and nails are still in good condition!

Very very good at what they do! Soothing and the price is great!!! Also, they are very personal and take the time to make sure you’re satisfied!

Clean, quiet, and relaxing! Newly opened so they are running a special, 20% off all services. I’ve had 3 mani/​pedi here already and they do a great job.
