Clear Nail Spa

Ok so I went back for fill ins for the UV gel nails which was originally $ 70. I got my fill ins for $ 30, as they promised. BUT my sister got her nails cut and had to add white gel again and it costs $ 55 for fill ins! Needless to say, we were NOT happy about that. Make sure they tell you the prices BEFORE they do it, because they will go ahead and do something and not be clear on the prices.

Bill was over $ 200 for 2 tips and 2 pedis. 4 nails of my friend fell off in under a week. Rush you out if past 7. Bad pedis and if you pay $ 30 for a hot stone massage it should be longer than 2 mins :(

They do suck. Rude, totally impersonal. A rip off. All my toes weren’t even completely polished and they barely scrubbed the bottoms of my feet at all. Don’t even bother! Worst ever

This is by far the best nail salon in town! The ladies are all exceptional at what they do, friendly and reasonably priced.

It seems everytime I get comfortable with a nail salon, it happens to close within a few months. What the hell? So I decided to try this place out since I hadn’t been here since it was under a different name back from High School. I went in and I had to wait about ten minutes which is no biggy– caught up on some more X-​Files. I did notice though that it seems only two techs maybe are familiar with doing arylics/​gels bc others were sitting around talking.
I finally get up for my turn and i swear… in every salon there is always a head hancho woman or man and this time it was a chick… and they always have the biggest [fake] boobs… Interesting. So as she starts a girl comes over to give me a neck and shoulder massage. After 5 mins she asks if I want another 15 min one and I give in bc damn it felt good. So okay, tack another $ 15 onto my bill for the end of my stay here.
I did notice like another person commented, is how they try and push everything onto you. Ok i gave into the 15 min extra massage, then she wanted to know if I wanted 10 more mins (another $ 10)– No thanks. Or do I want the 30 min special for only $ 28? — Umm thats only saving me two dollars so NO again. Or do I want a pedicure too… NOOOO. Or how about a design on my nails? HOW ABOUT NO, I’m not 16 and I just want my friggin nails done without being soliciated for a shit-​ton of other junk.
For real for real tho… its like Gossip GIrl, Asian Edition up in here. Could you maybe try and make it less obvious? A woman came in with her daughter I assume and wanted a wax, and as she was paying I heard her say ‘chin.lip, eyebrow.’ Whatever. I hear that all the time in there. But then I look over and see one of the techs touching her face in the same places and laughing with another tech. Wtf? If that was me I would have called her out on it; as a client completely unrelated to what happened, I didn’t appreciate it. Everytime someone says something in english they go on to say something in their native language right after. We may not understand but we aren’t that dense. Its obvious. Whatever ladies, at least I have eyebrows more than a millimeter thin. Suck it.
We’ll see how long these nails last bc I heard the woman does a good job, but after being so exhausted and annoyed from turning down so many other services and hearing the blatant gossiping going on, I’m not exactly pushing to come back. I’ll be in search of another salon until then.

They would be so much better if they stopped the pushy sales pitch. I tried to be patient and went back a third time because they were fast the first two times. The third time wasn’t a charm though. I doubt I will try again.

I’d rather give this a 2.5, but stars don’t come in increments on Unilocal.My cousin brought me here this past weekend because it is her go-​to nail salon. She likes it because they have pretty good prices ($ 8 for a manicure will not hurt your wallet) and she goes here every week. The salon itself was clean and I liked the general atmosphere — there’s this cool blue dome in the ceiling with a really pretty light fixture, and the space is large which allows the tables to be spread apart so you don’t feel crowded by other customers when getting your nails done.
What DID make me feel crowded was the fact that for half of my manicure, I had one of the other nail techs standing right next to me, staring at me or my hands and occasionally talking to my tech in their mother tongue. I asked my cousin if this is something that happens frequently and she said that the staff did have a tendency to do that. It was really awkward and made me feel uncomfortable to have someone standing over me for such a long time, just watching me. The manicure itself was decent, but there was nothing that stood out about it to make it memorable. The back massage that I got while my nails were drying was pretty weak, but I didn’t expect my nail tech to be a trained masseuse as well as a manicurist, so whatever.
Now I understand that in terms of Westchester manicures, this one was pretty cheap. But one of my nails chipped within hours of my getting them done. I wasn’t washing dishing or performing manual labor or playing the piano, or any other number of examples of activities that would cause my nails to chip so quickly. And now, less than a day later, almost half of my fingers have chips in the nail polish. I’d hope for a manicure to last longer than this, regardless of how much it cost. For $ 8 I could have bought a bottle of Essie and done them myself at home, and they would have held up far better.
I guess if you’re looking for a quick, basic mani, this would be a fine place to go. But don’t expect it to last, and do expect to feel like you’re on display. I don’t think I’ll be returning here any time soon.

I’ve been here a few times. Very cheap. My first time I got the younger girl– she was fantastic. Very friendly and full of compliments and gave me a perfect manicure even though my nails were short and in bad shape. On my most recent trip I got one of the older women, it could not have been worse. She started by asking if I was pregnant [I’m not] then she told me my eyebrows were too thin. The mani and pedi she gave me is awful, I could have done a better job myself. She made me bleed trimming my cuticles, left a huge gap between my skin and the polish, left polish smudged on the skin around every nail, and overall the polish looks very uneven and sloppy. I won’t be back regardless of how cheap they are, It’s worth it to pay a little more for a decent job.

Wasn’t impressed. I’ve been looking for a new salon snce my old one closed. Went in for an acrylic fill… they made my nails too thin, the girl rushed polishing my nails even though there was no one waiting. Polish was uneven, spots down to the cuticle. Don’t think I’ll be back.

I started going to clear nail because Beach 2 used to push other services on me which is a pet peeve of mine. Well –needless to say I am moving on to another after months of so so experiences here. There is one particular «technician» that keeps pushing for spa pedicures and gel manicures when I have NO time in my day. I work very long hours. I finally gave in and got a gel manicure. When I went back to get a regular manicure, she charged me $ 5 extra for a «soak» to get gel off. She didnt soak a thing! She just filed the gel off. I really dont like to get taken advantage of and be made a fool… I tipped her 5 instead of 10 (to make up the difference for the“soak”) and kindly left and I WILL NOT GO BACK.
That tech just screwed herslef out of a $ 10 tip!

Clear Nail Spa is in the same space where Queens Nail Spa used to be– and I can’t say enough great things about this salon!
The staff were super friendly, and they have a special deal for manis & pedis together– only $ 25 on the weekend. They did a great job, and I didn’t mind the short wait because we got to sit in the pedicure chairs with our feet soaking.
At the end, they offered us bracelets as a good luck charm! Overall, it was a SUPER positive experience and I’ll definitely be back!
