Queen Nails & Spa

So I was in a hurry between meeting and stopped in to get a mani pedi on the fly. Lynn is amazing! She is an exceptional multitasker and so pleasant. She should get a raise, she’s definitely a selling point for the salon.

I got gels taken off and a manicure here. I went on a Tuesday afternoon and didn’t have an appointment but they seated me within 5 – 10 minutes, not too bad, and they were definitely busy. They did a pretty good job! It wasn’t the best manicure I’ve had in my life but they did a good job and were very nice. I’ll definitely go back.

Nice staff and good standard price of $ 25 for mani pedi. I’m giving 3 stars bc the atmosphere isn’t that great or relaxing. Also did not feel very clean. Not sure if this is everyday but it smells like a the bathroom ventilation is not working and stunk up the whole salon. I’m not sure if I would come back here

This is where you come to get the job done and done right. After the renovations, the salon is more inviting and fits into its Olde City location. There are no bells and whistles here, hence the reasonable prices.
Be prepared to wait once the weather is good starting on Thursdays. People know there is no other place like this in this over priced neighborhood. I live in NJ but my loyalty lies here for the last 7 years. They are like family!

My favorite nail place in Old City!
They are reasonably priced and do great work. Every mani I’ve gotten here has lasted really well. They have great colors to choose from and the employees are very nice. As a bonus, they’re open on Sundays, too!

Less than one week later — four nails have peeled half way off and the edges on the others are now coming up. I’m extremely disappointed with this manicure and I don’t understand why this place has such good reviews.

They don’t understand the concept of appointments.
My daughter and I stopped in as a Mother’s Day treat and they were so busy, the guy said it would be an hour long wait. So I said no problem, why don’t I make an appt then. I made an apt for 1.5 hours later. After walking around for 1.5 hours, my daughter and I came back. He told us it would be a few more minutes before someone would be available. After 10 minutes, someone started working on my daughter’s nails. But 30 minutes go by and I’m still waiting. By the time I had a manicurist, she did a horrible job with my nails.
I don’t have a problem with the manicurists but the management just doesn’t know anything about customer service or even understand the concept of appointments.

After looking for a nail place near work, I came across this place. I made an appointment for noon during my lunch break and the price was unbeatable! I paid $ 25 for a gel manicure, along with the removal of my old gel polish. The girl that did my manicure was very kind and she recommended a great color. Would definitely recommend this place if you are in need of a quick manicure or pedicure!

Great waxing estheticians at this spa! I just moved to Philadelphia a few months ago and I’ve had a hard time finding good waxing salons that provide services at a reasonable price. Most places have a back curtain or a back room which is not private enough for body waxes. This is why I’ve never felt comfortable in other salons.
This salon/​spa is different! The main floor is designated for manicures and pedicures, chair massages and facial waxing. The upstairs is the spa area where there is a relaxing waiting area and private rooms. The light is dim and it is a very welcoming environment. I had a full arm and bikini wax, and not only was I happy with the results but I was even able to close my eyes and relax during my procedures. Every detail is taken care of. I can’t wait to return!

5 stars for Robert!!! I only get my gel fills from him. He shapes them perfectly & they last me a solid 3+weeks!

I know I wrote a review before but that was about the nails. I finally took advantage of their beautiful spa upstairs and had a massage by Roselyn on Saturday and I cannot rave enough about how professional and terrific this woman was! She not only understood my medical condition (I have lupus and very sore joints) she took care of me in a gentle way. I have had massages before where they didn’t take the time. I cannot wait to go back and get another! I think I will treat myself every other month! This is a hidden gem right here in old city! Again I love everyone at this salon they are professional in every way they know me they treat me with respect and I feel like family every time I walk through the door! I cannot say enough about Queen Nails and Spa!

Came here on New Years Eve around 4 pm and they were able to fit me in for a manicure and pedicure with no wait. Not the fanciest salon, but I got 2 pedicures and 1 manicure for $ 47 — can’t really complain. The woman doing my nails was polite and kind. She did a great job shaping my nails which is my biggest concern (polish is polish — it will eventually chip). The salon is clean and actually pretty spacious as it goes back pretty far with 4 pedicure chairs in the back and about 5 manicure stations in the front. They also do massages upstairs and have waxing available. Would come back here if in need of a manicure or pedicure in a hurry.

Awesome staff, clean & SO Inexpensive!!! They really take their time and do it right… You will not find thinned out polishes or used equipment here… Best mani/​pedi/​gel I’ve had in the city!

I noticed there aren’t a ton of recent reviews or really good reviews for this place and I was kind of surprised. I needed something close by because I desperately needed my old gel manicure to be taken off and redone. They squeezed me in a half hour before closing time, yet I didn’t feel rushed at all while there. They paid attention to every detail of my nails and they look great! I was also really pleased with the price, $ 25 for a gel mani.
Not the best salon in the world but I’ll probably be back because of the convenience!

Queen Nails is the only place in the city that I will go now for a UV-​Gel manicure. Queenie herself is my favorite! She’s fast, detailed, consistent, and always makes them exactly the way I like them (without me even having to ask anymore).
I’ve had maybe 1 mediocre experience here and it was with a girl I didn’t recognize (maybe she was new or learning?). Regardless, I showed the errors and they made sure I left happy with the end result. I’ve always had great service here; my nails will last many weeks without chipping at ALL or lifting up, and the prices are fair. If you arrive after 445pm, expect to wait a while or at least call to make an appointment.
PS, I had my eyebrows waxed here for the first time about a month ago, and they are still great. :D

Ok — so while this place doesn’t look very nice inside, it is my go-​to for monthly manicures. Everyone who works here is so sweet. The staff knows on a first name basis nearly 75% of the people that walk in… which gives it a small town local business feel.
Now, don’t expect high end treatment — you get what you pay for. However, if you want a quick, well done manicure, this is the place to go. In fact, I got a gel manicure done 2 weeks ago — it is still PERFECT!
Overall, I’m happy with this place and recommend it to my local friends.

This place is a sad excuse for a «salon and spa», I came here to have acrylic tips put on and left less than satisfied. My tips nails were bumpy, different lengths, and all lifted within a week. The girl who did my nails spent her entire time talking to her coworkers or on her cell phone, which typically doesn’t bother me, but when I tried tot tell her what I wanted, she wouldn’t even stop to listen. When she painted them, they were streaky and uneven but as I was in a rush, I said it was fine and headed out the door. When I got home that night I took the polish off and filed and shaped them myself as best I could.
Two weeks later I decided to give them a second try just to see if the first experience was a fluke. I went in and there was a wait, so I sat down and flipped through some emails on my phone, a second girl came in after me and asked if there was a wait and they told her no, I politely told the man that I had been waiting to which he told me, «You keep waiting» as annoyed as I was, I decided to keep waiting.
After 10 minutes, a woman finally took me to her chair, while she was working, another employee who does the facials there was walking around talking to everyone, she came up to me and started telling me about the services they offer for facials as I was getting my nails done, which was fine, until she started loudly talking about how awful my skin is and how I really need some sort of treatment because it looks «infected». I have severe cystic acne and I’m on accutane, I do not need to be reminded of the condition of my skin at the age of 25.
******Skip this place and head over to Old City Nails, the service is great and the girls are really friendly.

I was in need of a manicure as mine was about 4 weeks old. This place is near my job so I decided to try it out on my lunch break. I get gel color manicure and was pleasantly surprised that they only charge $ 25. I was in and out. The staff was polite and friendly. Additionally, they have a large selection of OPI gel colors to choose from. I will defintely be returning. Maybe next time I will try one of their skin care services.

I got a $ 10 manicure at Queen while visiting Philadelphia from out of town.
The manicure itself was adequate. The lady who did my nails had good control of the brush and covered my nails evenly with deft strokes. My nails looked fine from far away and lasted a couple of days without major chipping.
However, I don’t think I would return even if I lived in the area, for the following reasons:
* An extremely toxic smell lingered around the entrance.
* The nail file and buffing block were reused across customers.
* A lot of the nail polishes looked like they were in bad shape. I selected a pink that seemed okay. However, during the manicure, I noticed that it was very streaky, and each stroke left black flecks on my nails. The lady who did my manicure spent some time cleaning the bottle and adding thinner.
* The color I used was very light and would have benefited from 3 coats. However, I was only given 2 coats.
* I noticed a lot of small bubbles in my nails when I looked closely.
* The skin around my nails was nipped in a way that made it look decidedly worse after the manicure than before.

Four stars for what it is.
I am not a budget salon person — I want some of the fance, and I’m perfectly fine with paying for it. That said, I had a very good $ 10 manicure here. It was quick, standard, sure I was a little sketched by the chemical smell and some of the sanitation, but see the first statement.
The people were extremely nice — my technician was a little out there (when I went to dry my nails, she disappeared and went off texting … so I accidentally left too soon and came back for a touch-​up after I f*d up my thumbnail), but they will refund your ATM fee if you use the ATM, and they’re just so nice. It’s good for what it is, so if you’re looking for a $ 10 mani place, this is a good one.
