Pink Nail

Great place! The owner is welcoming and friendly every time I visit. Its always busy but they always find a way to do your nail with care.

I’m giving one star because I have no other choice.
I went to get my nails done for my birthday, I was a walk-​in and no customers were in there. The tech started on my nails and another customer walked in and I was told that I had to wait for them to do this OTHER customers nails… That was strike one.
Strike two, the nail tech stopped my manicure again to go get something to eat with her daughter thus resulting in my finger nails taking over 2 and a half hours to get done.
Strike three, the woman doing my pedicure literally ripped the skin off my toe and it started gushing blood and she didn’t stop to take care of the bleeding. I had to stop her so that I can put tissue on it. Another woman stepped in a grabbed a green fluid and a qtip and cleaned my toe. The apology was so aloof as if it was my fault that she sliced my toe. I was furious as I could not wear shoes other than sandals for several days. And being that it was my birthday the next day, I had to walk around with a bandage on my toe which looked horrible.
Needless to say, I WONT be going back.

I moved to Clifton about a year and a half ago and have been looking for a decent but affordable nail salon since then. Typically I maintain my nails myself but every 8 to 10 weeks I like to get everything cleaned up since I can only do so much on mynown… maybe a little more frequently in summer time. Up to this point I’ve been using the occasional visit to my in laws in Brooklyn as an excuse to go to my old nail salon in the neighborhood. But I need my own local place already. Since this place is literally around the corner from my home and they advertise a $ 20 mani/​pedi, I decided to check it out.
The décor is simple, nothing fancy, but it’s bright and welcoming. Looks reasonably clean.
The women greeted me warmly, even though the place was mobbed. I’m assuming this is part for the course for a Saturday at 2pm in most salons but I think it’s compounded here by the fact that they are closed on Sundays which is a bummer. Anyway, they told me about a half hour wait, so I asked if they’d take my name so I could come back at 2:30 and they obliged. When I got back, it was still very busy but since they told me I could come back, they accommodated me fairly quickly and put me in a pedi chair within 15 minutes. I did sit with my feet soaking for a little longer than I expected, but ok. I found out later that someone had also quit on them last minute so they were short staffed in addition to being busy. It happens. Being a patient person and someone who works in a customer service oriented industry myself, waiting didn’t bother me, especially since they were extremely apologetic about it. No problem. It’s Saturday and I had no appointment, I expected a wait.
For a $ 20 mani/​pedi, they go above and beyond with a hot stone massage and paraffin heel treatment, which I do not get at my old Brooklyn OR old Queens salon for the same price. And even given as busy as they were, When they did get to me I did not feel rushed or pressured and the work came out beautiful. She made every effort to get my skin super smooth and I have no hangnails, scratches, nicks, or smudges.
The color selection is not fantastic, so I will probably bring my own polish for return visits and I plan to make my own tool kit as well since it doesn’t seem they offer personalized boxes like other salons do. You. know, where you can pay a small fee and they keep a drawer with your own buffer, nail file etc with your name on it. Kinda skeeves me out sharing that stuff since it can’t really be sterilized like metal tools can. That and being closed on Sunday are really the only negatives I found. The service was warm, friendly and proficient and I definitely plan on making this my go to salon now that Clifton is home.
Thanks for reading!

Nice place, (décor does need some updating) friendly owner, awesome workers. Pedicure includes your regular service but in addition a hot rock massage and Paraffin for the heels of your feet. Very nice plus.
I will return to this place every two weeks. You cant beat a mani pedi for 20 bucks.

Can’t beat a $ 20 mani/​pedi! Lady was super nice and friendly. Walked in half an hour before closing time and she still took me and let me stay until my nails were sufficiently dry without rushing me. Would definitely go back!
