Sky Nails & Spa

Sky nails has really gone downhill since they first opened. The store is messy — personal belongings strewn everywhere, half eaten candy in the candy bowl, etc. I walked in for a manicure today and experienced THE WORST MANICURE MY LIFE. Yuki was busy so a different worker had to do my nails. I’ve never seen her before so I’m guessing shes new. She was awful! She barely knew how to use the tools, and she kept coughing without covering her mouth. She didn’t push back any of my cuticles, didn’t know how to cut my cuticles, painted my nails starting from the tip and used 25 brush strokes for one friggin coat (yes, I counted because I’ve never experienced this before lol).

Yuki did such a great job in 30 min. Went in for a gel mani with the Unilocal deal and definitely coming back. Their selection of color was very good — lots of options to choose from — and good quality gel options with glitter!
In all the places I’ve tried in Flushing (resident for about 1.5 years here) this is probably your best bet. Everything is clean, the staff is friendly (they don’t talk shit about you in Chinese), and they do a great job for a really decent cost (gel mani 25 and with coupon from Unilocal 15). Very professional and definitely a gem.

They do an amazing job ! Super friendly ! Peaceful, relaxing and spacious !

Nice. Clean. Fast. Didn’t love the callus remover part. Paid 10 bucks and still a little rough. Still will come back to Sky Nails. It’s also a convenient location.

Definitely enjoy coming here with my family.
I ONLY get my Manicure with Allen, he does my gel polish & designs well!
I also get my pedicures with Yuki, she is very clean, neat & she takes her time with it.

5 Stars! Walked in late today around 8pm, nail lady Avy was really nice take cared my toes and nails. Due to hard design of my nails, she was very patient on all the design works. Finally, it came out gorgeous! Love my frenchie bulldog and my panda design!!! Great place, and awesome service!!! Love it!!! Highly recommended!!!

UPDATE ¹⁰⁄₃₀: Rounded down a star because my manicure started chipping/​peeling after 7 days. My sister’s started chipping, too, but most of her polish remained on. Please note that I normally do not get the advertised 14 day no chip wear from a Shellac mani. The average wear on my manicure is 10 – 12 because my nails grow fast. So even I was surprised.
The five of us walked in on a late Saturday afternoon. They only had 3 nail technicians, so we had to wait, but we didn’t mind. Myself and my friend work in spa operations for a luxury brand, while my friend’s sister is an esthetican, so we know the signs of a good nail salon. The back bar is in plain view. The sterilizer has clean implements sealed in packets, and the nail tech opens the packet in front of you. The bins for trash and used towels are out of view but not overflowing. The floor was clean. All seemed in good order, save for the fact that they weren’t super busy. We ended up being the only clients for a while.
They have Essie, OPI, CND Shellac, and Gellish here. I didn’t see any CND Vinyl Lux or OPI Infinite Shine. Two of us opted for pedicures while the others got Shellac manicures. Overall, they did a great job. My only nitpick is if I select a CND Shellac polish, they should be using the CND base/​top coat, but the nail techs at my local salon do this too. It doesn’t seem to affect the longevity of the mani, though. The gentleman who did my friend’s manicure left her nails to cure under the LED lamp and then left the salon, leaving my tech to stop my manicure to massage my friend’s hands with a hot towel and remove the residue from polish to complete the service.
Other than that, it was a very good experience. My manicure was only $ 25, excluding tip. Even with a generous tip it ended up being cheaper than back home, where they charge $ 45 – 50 for the same service. My sister’s manicure looked awesome, too! She had a Shellac with crystal embellishments. A great way to spend the afternoon after dim sum and shopping in Flushing.

Came in bc the other salon didnt accept walkins and glad i did! Elva took such good care of me patiently answering all questions and even helped recreate a look off a pic i brought! Great skills and very clean facility with sterilized tool. Great experience! I highly recommend!

Pros:
Very sanitary, clean equipment for each customer
Polish had no streaks (I got white)
Relaxing music
Not crowded
Cons:
Pedi for $ 16, crap massage only on the calves for like 10 seconds.
Gel mani for $ 25, couldn’t even polish my nail to the cuticle — looks like it’s been growing out for a few days when I JUST got it done; if the polishing was better, I would have given 4 stars.
Probably should have asked for the name of the person that Did my nails since reviews say yuki/​mia good.

Goodness, this is late.
3.5!
In bad need of pedicures before a friend’s wedding, b. and I decided to stop in here the day before. When we entered, we found a clean, spacious, and brightly lit salon. It also looked like every person on staff was occupied with a customer. We were promptly directed to pick out a color and then to a couple of empty massage chairs towards the back where we waited for a while (20+ mins?) before a couple of the nail technicians freed up and came over to help us. We didn’t mind the wait much as we had each other for company but it would have been a nice courtesy to give us the option of coming back in the same amount of time. Could have gotten a snack! The technician who did my pedicure took her time and was meticulous — maybe a little too much so as she clipped too close to the skin on one of my big toes so it was stinging in the shower for the next day or two. Otherwise, I appreciated her time and effort as the technician who did b.‘s pedicure finished with b. and another customer by the time I even got to the drying station. My technician was also kind enough to help me into my sandals even though I wore my strappy gladiators that generally take about 5 minutes to put on. (Yes, I do ask myself why.) Overall, I was pretty satisfied with the paint job, which lasted until I decided to redo my own nails 2 – 3 weeks later, as well as the price ($ 16) as I’m used to seeing $ 20+ for pedicures in Boston.

Disappointing! This place charges more than Just Nails in flushing. I came here because just nails was actually closed that day. I showed them the design I wanted and was quoted 60 dollars. I really wasn’t planning on spending that much money on my nails but I was doing my nails prior to leaving for a vacation.
Anyway, there was not a single customer in the place the whole time I was there. Probably for a reason. The lady spent a good hour and 40 minutes on the nails. I had told her I do wash my hands a lot and to make sure the nails won’t chip. She ensured me it won’t. But after one week, the nail has chipped! And I wasn’t even working the past week so I didn’t really wash my hands that much!
So disappointing! If I spent that much money on my nails, I want it to last at least two weeks.
Never going back again

Came for a quick manicure and received great service, friendly staff and extremely clean salon. Will definitely be back!

I’ve been here three times since they first opened and the manis I got varied from pretty bad to almost perfect. This one for example, was very messy and streaky. I had to ask her to redo my thumb because of a clump of nail polish was stuck in the middle. Also, the whole job was very rushed because I came in at 8pm, had to wait 30 minutes for someone to free up, and by that time people were cleaning up.
I’ve noticed that this place changes many of its employees… but if you want a good mani/​pedi you should request Yuki or Mia (if she still works there)

The salon is really clean and spacious. I was debating between coming here and another salon, but chose this salon since the Unilocal deal is fantastic! I got a regular pedicure and a gel manicure with a design.
My pedicure was great! The person who did my nails did a great job cleaning and painting my toe nails and she also did a good massage.
My gel manicure was not so great. She used an old bottle of nail polish, so the nail polish kept crinkling under the UV light an she had to do it over. I asked for a simple flower design, and some of them look like flowers, but some of them look like eggs since she was rushing through it. It has been less than two weeks and one of the gel polish nails has already cracked and another one is starting to peel off. I don’t think it will be much longer for the rest of them to fall off.
I know from experience that these normally last 3 – 4 weeks, so the fact that it hasn’t even been two weeks and they’re already coming apart says something about the workmanship. Not to mention, my toes with normal nail polish haven’t chipped at all and are in perfect condition.
It was worth it with the Unilocal deal but if I had to pay full price, I’d definitely go somewhere else with better quality.

I came because of the Unilocal deal and compliments.
It made me disappointed though.
It’s my first time to do my nail so I asked many questions.
The designer wasn’t patient and showed an unhappy attitude.
I didn’t want too long nails. However, after he cut three times it was still long and bothered me a lot.
When he asked me what I want for design
I said about my ideas but he didn’t listen to me and just asked me to pick a picture he already made for others. There were not the colors I want. Anyway, I just picked one and accepted it.
The worse is, one finger nail wasn’t straight.
Anyway, the result wasn’t that bad but the designer should work on their communication and attitude.
It cost 60uv gel mani+15design. I also gave 10 for tips.
I might try other designers.

Great find when I searched Unilocal for a nail salon nearby. So glad this place opened because the other places I went to previously had workers that weren’t so friendly.
Bought the Unilocal deal. So worth it. Remember you must use the whole entire $ 60 deal for $ 30 in one sitting and can’t save it and must be for new customers.
Allen the owner was very helpful in explaining the price details with me to make it worth my $ 60 deal. Everyone here is friendly and speaks English.
The place is also clean and has many pedicure chairs and manicure chairs. They have a lot of gel colors to choose from. The regular nail polish not so much.
Wished they had a board with prices on the wall so I didn’t have to keep asking how much each work was.
By the way Yuki did my nails and did a great job!

I LOVE MY NAILS.
My friend got me a Unilocal deal — $ 30 for $ 60 of services. I got a gel manicure and gel pedicure, which together took about 2 hours (I had lots of unreasonable demands and complicated designs in mind); total came out to be $ 80 but with the deal, $ 20 and I tipped $ 16 on top of that.
Yuki was great! She massaged my legs and hands, cleaned my nails, did all the basics. When I showed her a picture of a nail design with sunflowers, she tried really hard to replicate it. She asked another nail technician for assistance and together they recreated the flower on my toe!
This is relatively new, opened since September. VERY clean and spacious, totally not what I expected from Flushing at all. It’s on the 2^nd floor — you can easily miss it walking by on Roosevelt Ave. But hidden gem it is.
The only gripe: their color selection is not the most impressive. No turquoise or mint green…
I would definitely come back. A regular mani is only $ 8! I’m used to Manhattan prices so this is a steal. I hope they don’t raise their prices due to this review…

The young lady that did my nails was Yuki. She was really sweet and did a good job overall. The thing with this place is that you get what you pay for — $ 16 pedi and $ 8 mani. My pedi was short. They didn’t really scrub my heels/​feet or massage much. All they rely did was paint my nails. The mani was also short but Yuki did do a good job and cleaning me up (cuticles, filing, shaping, etc.). My friends that were with me had even shorter mani pedis than I did. One of them even left with a cut on her cuticle. They were not satisfied at all. I can’t really say that it’s worth going back.

This place is fantastic.
I am about to go on vacation for 2 weeks and needed a mani and pedi that will last. I don’t normally have the time to travel all the way to Flushing but I was super lucky to catch a break from work. I found sky based on its great reputation on Unilocal and they happen to offer a $ 30 for $ 60 deal.
I decided to go all out and get both gel mani and pedi. I forgot the ask for the nail technician’s name (so rude I know and I am sorry) but she is a very cute and petite girl with a short bob. She was really professional and FAST. Both mani and pedi were completed within an hour and they were flawless. She even helped me pick the colors because Sky offers a wide range of colors for gel manicure, some of them I have never seen in my go to place in the city. I chose a watermelon pink on my toes (#62?) and a glitter pink on my hands. I would never have thought that putting glitter on my nails would turn you well but alas, I am quite taken by it. Hey, gotta try something new once in a while.
I highly recommend Sky Nail because the spa is spotless. All tools are pre-​package and that really eases my hygiene concerns regarding nail salons. Also, Sky’s prices are way more reasonable than they are in the city. Regular Gel pedi is $ 35 and regular gel mani is $ 20, which is what I usually pay for a French non-​gel manicure in the city. I chose the glitter tips, which is more expensive ($ 35). The $ 30 for $ 60 didn’t hurt either.
One last note, sky offers eyebrow shaping. My brow job is awesome as well. I wish I can come to Flushing more often. This is seriously pampering without breaking bank.

My first time using a Unilocal deal!
Coworkers recommended the place, said it was spotless and had great service. I’ve tried a lot of nail salons in the flushing area and was never 100% happy with much of anything, Even with my deal, I stil paid an additional $ 25 on top of what I paid for the deal. I got Allen and boy is he detailed oriented and he takes his time even though I wanted French ombré uv gel tips. They’re a little pricey but you honestly can’t put a price and cleanliness. They also take card unlike most nail salons in the Flushing area which is a plus. I loved Allen and will be coming back once it’s time for a fill in or when I decide to remove the tips.
