New Coco Nails

Came here a week ago. I found the place was clean. The owner an Asian lady seemed OK with the customers but with her employers I thought she was a bit rough. Being of Hispanic descent I did not appreciate that. Just because your employees don’t speak English and probably are not documented its no reason to treat anyone as second class. I went on a Sunday afternoon and oh my, it was crowded. The girl that did my acrylic did a good job but she seem to be afraid of speaking to me. Maybe the Boss lady does not let them speak with the clients. My pedicure was done by another lady and she seemed exhausted! She gave me such a good massage but I though it was a bit too long so on the second leg I told her not too worry about it, not to massage for long. She immediately looked over her shoulder to see if the boss lady was looking. I reassured her that it was OK, that I did not want the long massage. Will I go back? maybe, if I’m around the area and I need an emergency mani/​pedi. Otherwise I’ll be looking for another place. The prices are OK. I had acrylic tips and a pedi and I was charged $ 38.00. Oh, I almost forgot do you know that (thank God i do not need it) they had a kitchen grater to scrape your heels!!! I asked the lady twice because I couldn’t believe my eyes. Ouch! That looked painful. LOL, it’s funny too. I cannot imagine letting anyone using a kitchen gadget for my feet.

Best pedicure on the island, owner and girls are sweet. You won’t find me anywhere else. Place is clean and nice. No more rush jobs like some other spots.

After reading the reviews I decided to give this salon a try. I was shocked at the disappointment that I felt not just with the quality of work but with the behavior of one of the staff members. When I walked into the salon, I picked my nail color from the wall. When I sat down to get my pedicure I gave my color to the woman doing my nails. After being prepped and ready to be painted the customer next to me decided she also liked the color I had chosen. Instead of the woman’s technician going to find the same color on the wall she takes my color and begins using it. I informed her that it was the one I picked out and she began laughing,
proceeding to use it anyway. The tech next to her told her in Spanish that it was my color that my nail tech was ready to use on me. She continued to laugh and use my color. When I finally said something to her she abruptly got up, found the duplicate color and threw the original bottle onto my techs tray. Wow. Then my gel manicure is a sloppy mess with gel polish all over my cuticles. THE WORST EXPERIENCE IN ANY NAIL SALON I HAVE EVER HAD. I will never go back to this place and I hope no one else has an experience like this.

Beware of dirty tools! Ehhh… Staten Island you disappoint again. After reading reviews I thought this would be the salon for me. I had my mani/​pedi color as I always do and I was sat down quick for a mani… Girl did great sat me down to dry and then I waited. I told I was ready for my pedicure and she told me she doesn’t do pedicures. So I waited for about 40 minutes until I was taken for my pedicure only after I said something to the owner/​manager answering the phone. Sat down in the chair. Waited about another 15 minutes. Of course at this point I’m deciding to leave. Finally a young Spanish girl comes over to my chair with the tools she just used on the older woman she just finished up right before me. I don’t say anything just yet and let her do her thing. Filling up the tub she soaks me with the hose and my silk pants and now there is flood on the floor. She takes the towel from underneath my feet, cleans the floor and then attempts to try to wipe my pants… I abruptly say «no thanks». I’m not half way through my experience and Im checking the doors for my exit.
She takes off the old polish and attempts to use the dirty tools on me… Again I abruptly stop her and say «Those are dirty, I want sanitized ones» she takes the tools and sprays them with sea breeze. Again, I stop her and I pony to the sanitized box at the other side of the store. I told her just to do a polish change.
Bottom line, maybe I would come here again during the week on a not so busy day. But the fact she attempted to use dirty tools on me gives me anxiety. Let’s be real ladies… Do you really want tools used on you that were picking cheese and cutting corns out of a much older woman’s feet used on you with out being properly cleaned? Yea. Didn’t think so.

Called around 4:15 and asked if I could come in. Walked right on in and got a beautiful LCN. Most places put up a fight when I ask to get my nails filed down super short however Coco nails didn’t hesitate to give me what I asked for. I asked for a natural nail not thick caked on gel and that’s exactly what I got. The other reviews are spot on. My pedicure and my husband’s was not rushed but extremely relaxing. I am so happy I found this wonderful salon amongst the 10 others on New Dorp Lane. I will certainly be returning in 3 weeks!!!
Also, prices are completely manageable! I received an LCN fill in and a pedicure. My husband got a mani, pedi and eyebrow wax, all for $ 82!!! Does it get any better than this? Quality service at an amazing price!

Amazing… such a peaceful pamper day I’m having! Started with a wonderful pedicure… water was just right, massage chair was comfy and my nail tech was sweet. She gave me a massage like never before. I’m use to a rush job of a massage, this was at least 10 minutes… awesome. My gel manicure is beautiful as well… I’m a happy customer and will be back. Pros: it’s quiet in here and relaxing, workers seem happy, not disgruntled! Just as my pleasant experience was coming to a close here comes a young (20’s) addict walking in all high as a kite trying to sell a Louie bag… nail tech asks me if its real… ummm idk but I will not support her habit. Do NOT do drugs… drugs are wack… I wanted to help her, had to remember I’m not at work…*continues to dry toes*

love this place!!! I went in to fix my nails (done horribly by another nail salon) and they did an amazing job! very busy location, call before going in

Fantastic! I just found (finallllllllly, after living in the area for over a year) my new nail spot. All of the places close to me (in the Hylan shopping plazas) are awful, unclean, & overpriced. This place was like a breath of fresh air!
I walked in, no appointment, was greeted warmly, picked a color & immediately sat down for a pedicure. Def the best one I’ve had in a long time! They were not quick or careless, the massage wasn’t rushed & everything was perfect. Then I had a great manicure, very thorough & careful. Neither my manicure nor pedicure was rough or uncomfortable as they tend to be in a lot of places. The prices were great, I got a manicure, French pedicure & quick dry drops $ 30 even. That’s fab! Everything was great! I’m so happy I found this place on Unilocal — I will be returning. Probably in a couple weeks! Yay!

TERRIBLE!!! the lady took 2 hours to do my nails and they look horrendous!!! they also had a sign in the window that said acrylic tips 25 $ and they charged me 40 $- and when i asked why it was so much she told me it was because she filed them down for me. i showed her about 4 pictures of how i wanted my nails shaped and they still didint come out right, now im stuck with acrylic and glue all over my nails untill these grow out. also the place did not even look sanitary. overall it was a terrible experience and ill never come back.

This has become my go to salon! The owner Mimi is so nice and and the entire staff is friendly and courteous. Wait time is quick and on a busy summer Saturday it’s best to try and make an appointment especially for pedicures but even without an appointment the wait time is never long and Mimi makes sure to fit you in as quick as possible. The place is clean and the tools and equipment are well sanitized. I love the pedicures and always opt for the Lavender pedicure just because I love the scent. (For me totally worth the extra $ 5) Prices are great and definitely on the lower end but the service is definitively not cheap. They don’t skimp on the leg massages and the polishes last a long time. I definitely recommend this place as Mimi and her staff are so nice and accommodating, it’s always a pleasurable experience!

Since this is my (sorta) local salon, I’ve been checking its Unilocal page regularly and I’m shocked that it still doesn’t have any reviews considering how busy I find it every time I go. Time to take matters into my own gorgeously-​manicured hands.
PSA: This is the best nail salon on the island. Why? Allow me, if you will, to list:
1) I’ve yet to find a better price to quality ratio for a mani-​pedi ($ 24!!!) not only on the island, but in the entire city. Now, I’ve had cheap manicures & pedicures done before, but this place is cheap in price only. Where other low-​price mani-​pedis usually skip on some essential steps (notably callus-​scrubbing, moisturizing, massaging) you will find this place to be full-​service.
2) CLEAN. This place is clean, bright, and spacious. Not only visibly clean, but if you sit and look a while, you’ll notice everything is disinfected properly after each client, from pedi tubs to (most importantly) instruments.
3) I’ve never had to wait. If the place is super-​packed, Mimi herself or the other woman who works the front desk (whose name I regrettably do not yet know) will do your manicure. And it is always done thoughtfully, never rushed.
4) Best customer service around. All of the women who work here are attentive and courteous. Like I said before, you are never rushed, no matter how busy it is, and your comfort and satisfaction are their prime concern.
5) I had my nails done here for my wedding. When it came time to remove the gel, my nails came out of it looking much healthier than when I’d had gels removed at other places. I don’t know why, but I will chalk it up to the skillfulness of the New Coco manicurists :)
Notes:
–Last I checked, it was cash-​only. I now instinctively bring cash here, so I haven’t asked in a while.
–I’ve only had regular manicures, gel manicures, and regular pedicures done. I cannot vouch for the other services, but I’m sure they’re just as amazing. Please post your experiences, because this place really deserves all the praise it can get.
