Sweet Pea Nail & Spa

Staff is nice but the two times I’ve gone my nails weren’t dried right, polished poorly, and compared to other places prices, it’s too expensive for the quality of work I received. Probably won’t go back again.

Ugh. I usually go around the corner to do my gel manicures. And I walked over in the rain they were closed so I walked into this place. I picked a gel color and they didn’t have that many nice options. She couldn’t find the color I picked. Then finally found it and said the color went bad so picked another one and told me it was the same thing. Not really but whatever. When she started applying it I asked if this was even gel because I do gel all the time and it didn’t seem like gel. I didn’t understand what she said. I’m pretty positive it’s not gel polish. It chipped the very next day. There also was polish all over my cuticles. And I had re-​file my nails when I got home cause the corners were left rigged and sharp. I just didn’t have the energy or patience to bother while there. Never again will I come here even if it’s my last resort.

Asked them if they can do certain design, they said sure and proceeded with manicure. But when the owner came to take over the design, she said she cant do it. If they said they cant do it before they started, i would’ve changed the color or design! Totally wasted my money and time

So it’s the day after a blizzard and Sweet Pea is open. Thank goodness because I need my weekly manicure fix. They have a great selection of colors and the nail tech recommended incoco for a cleaner accent nail. I liked how all the nail instruments came out of a sterilized bag. The manicure with two accent nails and quick dry was $ 15.65. I used my credit card and she asked I tip in cash. I also got a complementary short shoulder massage when I dried my nails. Overall, I had a better experience than my past few so I would definitely come here again.

I am so disappointed in this business. My 13 year old daughter called on the bluetooth in the car to schedule an appointment. She asked what she wanted done and my daughter said acrylic powder fill in. The lady said, Ok come at 3pm.
I dropped her off and she called me 10 minutes later saying that the lady is telling her they do not do powder fill ins only brazilian and it costs $ 45. I told her to put her on the phone. I asked her why someone told her yes and is now charging her $ 45 for a fill in! She said, Oh, i am sorry. I will charge her $ 40 only with 2 free designs. I told her it would be the last time.
When I picked up my daughter, her nails were terrible. polish on the cuticles, bumpy and to make matters worse, she told me they did a powder fill in just like she gets at the other salon! Having buried my father the day before, I did not think to go in and complain. Quite frankly, they took advantage of a minor overcharging them and then when I said it would be the last time, did a terrible job. I will never go back here.

I walked in to get a gel mani & regular pedi. This was my first visit. The staff is polite & friendly. No complaints there. However, the real issue was the mani & pedi itself. It was very inconsistent. I noticed the time taken for the pedi was much shorter compared to people around me getting the same thing. I also pointed out the the pedi was smudged when I was done & I was asked to come back to get it fixed since it was past 8 which is understandable. What I failed to understand is when my feet didn’t touch anything how did it smudge? The mani now. The nail polish was far from the cuticle, again I pointed it out & was informed that the opi brush is too thick! At this point I just wanted to go home. If you are in the business for so long and don’t know how to do what you’re good at I don’t see a point of coming back to fix it. There are other places on Bell that would do a much better job. My friends from work thought I had done my nails on my own that’s how unprofessional they looked. Unfortunately this isn’t the best place for nails. I wish I had read reviews before I went.

The staff is super friendly. Tons of colors. Opi and Essie galore! I always get gel manicure and they always give me a a few minutes of back massage. I love going after work.

This place is clean and had potential to be great but if you don’t get the owner than you’re screwed. Had issues with my gel manicure and wasn’t satisfied.

This place was extremely awkward and unprofessional. We had a girls pampering day to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Han gave me a pedicure and I felt like she was a little too pushy. The second I walked in the door, she kept pushing me to get the mani and pedi combo package. I wanted to check out the colors and she was hovering over my back the entire time to get me started ASAP. She also kept having her arm around me and patted my behind. As she did my pedicure, she was hard-​core selling me the extras packages… like an extra 10 min massage. My other 2 friends did not have that kind of experience. I also noticed that there was inconsistency in the pedi treatments. Only 1 out of 3 of us got the heel scrub treatment and 2 out of 3 of us got a 30 second neck massage when we were drying our hands and feet. I went over to the other table to dry my toes and I felt very uncomfortable when Han was staring at me up and down and asking me what my bust measurements were. Han also flat out asked me out loud how much I wanted to tip her. She was a very nice lady, but it was so awkward to deal with her.

Just like the other reviewer said as the gel manicure was so uneven & bumpy… I actually ended up going to the different one to fix it :(Sorry I wouldn’t recommend it.

This place is fantastic for pedicures and manicures. Everything is clean and they sterilize with autoclave, which is great. I got the Purissima and love it. It feels and smells great. The technician gave a great leg massage and was very good with her techniques for the pedicure. Overall a fantastic experience and I highly recommend sweetpea.

gotta love this place! the cleanest place on bell blvd.

First I love this place how they are so clean. They sterilized all the tools they use and they use disposable file. The price is so cheap but they don’t chip fast. Technicians are very nice and they don’t rush their job. I don’t know what kind of top coat they use but they charge only $ 1 extra for it and it really prevents chipping. I like this place. I recommend to others!

I like this place because it’s clean. I always get a decent pedicure. They’re a little pricier that other local places, and I wish they spent more time removing dead skin from my heels, but I’ve never had a bad experience.

I called to make an appointment so I could squeeze in my gel manicure during my lunch break. I was seated immediately but when the girl realized she had to soak the old gel manicure off, she went to take care of another customer (who walked in-​no appt) That’s not what bothered me– (she was being efficient in starting another customer) but she didn’t let me soak for 5 – 10 min –the norm– it was 45 min. I sat there and she didn’t even come over once to check — another girl did my mediocre manicure. Not impressed — won’t be returning.

The person who took care of me today is Julie. The pedicure I received was worth the money I spent. Julie is excellent, meticulous and attentive. She not only did my pedicure but my eyebrow waxing as well. I was not rushed and felt she truly enjoys what she does.

Clean store. Love they use autoclave to sterilize the tool. Got the vitamin film before the gel manicure make it last even longer.

Walked in on a Saturday afternoon with a friend and did not have to wait. I did appreciate that they are on the cleaner side. Their tools come out of a packet with each new customer. They have a big space and a good selection of polishes. I’m not so happy with the results though, which were bubbles in the polish and cracked polish at the tip of my nails only one day after they were done.
I usually bring my own base and top coat to salons, but this was an impromptu visit, so of course I used theirs. They use a brand called Jordana. The top coat plays a huge factor in how fast your nails dry, and the one they use here took hours to dry. I got ridges in my nails even after 4 hours. I also think the top coat is to blame for the bubbles and the cracking.
Long story short, you should bring your own top coat if you come here. The ones they use at other salons I’ve been to are also not so great, but better than the one they use here.

The 1 star is for ambience… that’s all…
I moved to Bayside 9 months ago. Still can’t find a nail salon to do great acrylic tips (this place doesn’t do acrylic). Right now, my nails are natural and short. Anyways, I’ve been here twice: once in May and today (Feb). Both times, I found the customer service to be bad… rude, uncaring.
I received a gift certificate for my birthday in Sept, which I never used. I used it tonight ($ 22 for a mani/​pedi). The manager said it was expired by 5 days. I said I knew that, but I have a full-​time job in the city and 2 small kids, and therefore never got to use it. (Truthfully, I get my nails done in the city). She said she’d give me only 50% of it ($ 11), which allowed me to only get a manicure. I was annoyed by this…
The manicure was nothing grand. Bottom line: If you appreciate quality customer service, skip this snobby place.
And if any of you can recommend a great salon in Bayside/​Flushing that does acrylics, PLEASE message me! Thanks!

Ive been coming to this nail salon for years and it’s by far the best nail salon on Bell blvd. actually, in all of Bayside! I have been to several other nail salons in the area on random occasions — they don’t compare to Sweet Pea! The staff & owners are great and really friendly. They use Autoclave sterilizers on all of their tools and always have the newest colors of Essie and OPI nail polishes. They also have a huge selection of Shelac colors, which I have noticed many other salons don’t.
