Queens Nails

What can I say about Queen Nails? Wellllll not too much.
The place itself is pretty small and doesn’t feel the cleanest. The woman doing my nails didn’t look me in the eyes once and didn’t speak one word of English to me. Except for «Tip?» When I was paying. There was also a man, who I presume is the owner, that kept leaning on my chair as he was talking to the nail technician working on my nails.
If you are in need of a very quick nail service then I would stop in. I got my OPI gel manicure in about 15 or 20 minutes. I was almost shocked how fast it was. My nails look beautiful but I absolutely do not think my service was worth the $ 30 I paid. I can go to other nail spas and pay less for a much better experience.
But again, if you’re in a big rush, this is your spot!

Quick, great service for manicures and pedicures. I always get gel nails here and I am very satisfied with the quality and how long my nails last.

Excellent service. Staff very friendly. I have an ingrown toenail. Thao very professional and kind treated my toe with hardly no pain. I recommend this place to anyone.

Went to queens nails 2 at first. Wasn’t greeted for 5 minutes till finally they look up and say they’re too busy and to walk over to the sister shop. So I walked to queens nails. The lady was so rough. ⁴⁄₁₀ fingers were cut. Everytime I pulled back in pain she gripped my hand harder and seemed annoyed I was moving. She left huge globs of acrylic under the nail. I’ve never seen a tech who forgets or doesn’t care to remove the excess acrylic that folds under the nail. Day two and one of my nails was already coming off. Majority cracked or chipped. Would never return to either of the salons.

TLDR; Unsanitary and employees bad mouth clients.
I had to post at least one star in order to wrote this review, otherwise I wouldn’t have even posted that.
The last time I came here for a pedicure was right before Christmas time, and my foot didn’t stop itching until close to the end of January. Every time I’ve been here I knew I shouldn’t do it because it feels dirty, but it’s close to home. I’ve never seen them remove implements from a plastic bag, which would typically indicate that they’ve been sanitized. The jars on each nail table that should hold barbicide (a disinfectant that’s legally required) is EMPTY but has a blue plastic film lining the inside so that they appear to be filled with disinfectant.
During my pedicure a woman came in asking to drop off her resume. They barely acknowledged her but told her to leave it on the counter. After she walked out the door every technician started bickering in another language, and laughing. Clearly laughing at the woman who left a resume. A little bit later another woman came in but needed a specific color that they didn’t have, so she left… they did the same thing to her! It was so rude.
I will go to xclusive nails (sodo) forever now.

Very relaxing, prices were great, nails chipped within a few days, but I work in the restaurant industry to that is to be expected. My pedicure is still going strong a week later though.

Wouldn’t even give this place a star. So unprofessional and they talk crap about all their clients. They cut my toe and when waxing my face, they poured wax all over my shirt and my lips. It was disgusting. By far the WORST place ever. They also gave me a different price when checking out (which was $ 20 then the receipt said $ 30) Recommend you not to ever go here because your wasting your time, energy, and MONEY!!!

My actual manicure turned out beautiful, however my experience was not great.
I had to soak my fingers in acetone to remove the gel! This surely cannot be good for my skin. I have never been asked to literally soak my fingers into acetone.
There were multiple health & safety «red flags». They have a sign posted by the FL Dept of Business listing various safety concerns to watch for. According to this list, it’s concerning that the salon didn’t have the licenses at each workstation. I also did not see that the tools were washed/​sanitized between uses.
Overall, I thought the manicure was good but I am nervous about the health & safety of the establishment.

I used to come here all the time when I lived here. It’s been about 2 years since I’ve been a regular. But I was back in town to visit some friends and needed a manicure. Maybe I just got unlucky, but regardless I will not be back.
I got a pedicure and manicure and let me start by saying I’m not the talkative type when I’m getting my nails done. But I appreciate being acknowledged. The woman who did my nails wasn’t paying attention to me or my nails.
The kicker for me was the pedicure. She was speaking to another employee, looking in the COMPLETE opposite direction of me and my foot while she clipped my toe nails. One of my toe nails was cut completely diagonal.
I had to repetitively ask her to paint the sides of my nails and not just the top center. The gel was poor quality because it hardly lasted a week before it started peeling.

This is the second time I’ve gone there. First time was just eh, and today I was in a hurry and was hoping for a better experience. Not so much. their customer service is aloof and somewhat rude. My nails were cut unevenly and I could have done a better job painting them. And when she asked how much I wanted to add to the $ 10 price, I said $ 3 and then when looking at my receipt she had charged $ 15 total. Biggest waste of $ 15!

Went in for a gel pedicure and two hours later left with no polish because the girl doing my pedicure couldn’t …well I’m not sure why she couldn’t because no one spoke English

This place is terrible. Do not come here. Little do they know that I am Vietnamese and understand all the trash they talk about their clients yet smile to their faces. This is thee worst business I have been to.

I have been coming to this location for several years usually several times a month. I have àlways enjoyed the pedicures. Sometime I even do the premium $ 35 pedi if I have had a rough week or rough feet.
I don’t know if I have just been lucky but I have never had any complaints about Queens.
They put up with my need for glitter on my toes.
I think the prices and service offered are very fair. IMO they a have the best pedi in Orlando.

Not very updated inside, did not ask what shape I wanted and by the time I told her I wanted round, she filed off a ton of my nail making it square. They do not massage your hands or anything for an overpriced manicure, the gel dryer they use made the polish bubble, and it’s so awkward there. No music playing, and when I asked they put on a hockey game. Overall not worth the $ 30 paid.

No me sentí satisfecha ya por muchas cosas
1 la silla no funciono bien
2 no aplica bien l esmalte para que quede del color q debe quedar ósea del color del frasco.
3 no limpian bien las uñas.

I’ve been going to queens for about 8 years now, at least once a month, if not, twice. I don’t understand the low ratings. When I get my mani pedis, I want to get in and out and on with my day. They’re fast and do a great job & for the price — you can’t beat it. Now, I always book with Emily and she’s the best. I get just enough pampering for the time I can afford out of my schedule.

Officially done w this place.
Haven’t been in a while as I found a better spot closer to where I live now. However, was running errands and my feet were in desperate need of a pedi.
After I told the lady she was digging too hard into my nails and cuticles on the right foot, when she moved onto the left, she cut me… Not on purpose but Ouch! Maybe if you weren’t watching the TV and paying attention to what you were doing, I wouldn’t be bleeding. She didn’t even apologize, she just kept working. The bleeding continued as I’m walking out the door so it wasn’t just a nick, it was a puncture. I’m so livid at the lack of attention and poor customer service here.
I understand you try and churn out customers, especially on the weekend, however, there are professional and courtesy ways to do this. Not rushing through the service and not listening to the customer.

i am not a nail professional by any means and i can polish better than i paid to get polished here. not worth it.

I know that dudes aren’t the typical client of a nail salon, but I love to ensure that my nails look great and have been looking for a salon that is not too pricey for a mans trim and won’t charge extra for the buff.
This place was distressed and had absolutely no interest in making me feel welcome or a valued client for this less than busy salon — I had to ‘ask’ if I could walk toward the hard to understand (and I am culturally diverse in my thinking and acceptance!) manicurist named Ving No. Ironic name… because I felt like that’s really what she wanted to tell me. No.
Ving No looked puzzled, irritated and then ‘put out’ that I was a guy asking. She proceeded to do B+ level work… and didn’t charge for buffing. (Good for a guy, as polish looks silly — I think.)
While the price was right — the attitude and the distressed look of the place (and the staff for that matter) has frustrated my day.
Again — A+ on my $ 15 job — but still, lose the indifference lady, which brings your total score to a mild D+ at best for me!

my nails are ruined… need I say more… please dont go!

I realized I spent too much time in Old Navy and decided to stop here instead of my usual spot in Baldwin Park since it was close and I was already running late.
When I walked in, I saw they had a nice selection of purple polishes (my new favorite toe nail color) and I took that as a good sign. I chose a color and made a trip to the bathroom before my pedicure was started.
Um, there was a smashed cockroach on the wall — gross! I know we’re in Florida and bugs happen, but this was smashed in pretty good. It got me thinking, how long had it been there exactly and why didn’t the staff notice? I was reminded of my friend’s mother, who used to place trinkets in random places around the house, to test the thoroughness of the cleaning lady. Was this a customer test? If so, FAIL. Or, maybe the staff left it there, to serve as a warning to the other bugs. Wait, there are other bugs?
The salon itself seemed clean enough and the tech already filled the tub for me, so I decided to press on with the pedicure. The pedicure was fine, except that the tech did not file my toe nails. I cut them myself, so I wasn’t expecting a trim, but at least a quick file down. That seems to be pretty standard at most places.
I guess she was too busy talking about my purse with her fellow coworker. I’m not sure what they were saying, since they were not speaking English, but the tech looked at my purse, said something to the other tech, who then looked at my purse, then they continued to chat away. Perhaps they were debating over whether or not it was a fake, or maybe they were commenting on how cute it was, it is one of my favorites. Either way, it is rude to clearly have a conversation about someone or their property right in from of them — it makes the person feel unsettled.
They did give a nice massage and I appreciated that the tech took time after the polish to remove any excess polish from my skin.
But, I will skip another visit here. The extra bits of attention at the end were not enough to stage a recovery in my mind. I will just learn to manage my time better and carve out an extra twenty minutes to get to Baldwin Park.

Even though I’m a true girl at heart, and love to have my fingers and toes painted a very pretty color, I can’t say I’ve had too many manis and pedis in my day. Thus, my review is not coming from someone that gets them frequently.
I thought the service was fast and the work quality – except that I felt as if I was part of an assembly line.
I was shown to the massage chair where I got my pedicure by a woman who didn’t speak English – which isn’t really a problem except that I would have enjoyed chatting with her. The same goes for the nice girl who painted my fingers and gave my shoulders a very brief rub.
The paint actually lasted longer than I hoped so that’s always a plus. And the prices, although I had a gift certificate, seemed reasonable to me – again, I’ve only paid for those services once. I would suggest this spot though for someone who wants to get in, get out, and enjoy lovely polish.
