Christine Nail Salon

I’m disappointed reading some of the reviews. I consistently get amazing service here. I never experienced rude staff nor have I ever had an issue with the quality of my mani/​pedi. I’m definitely still going to come back.

They did an okay job on my nails but i really dislike the PISSY ATTITUDE. I am a customer and an easy going one who tips very well. I’ve done customer service jobs for the longest time and there’s really no excuse to have a bad attitude from the moment a customer walks in the door. This is my second time here after many years and the customer service is still bad. It’s the lady with black long semi curly hair and one extremely long pinky nail. -.-

this place is so bootleg. Tina did my nails and she was awful. I love Springfield Nails, but the only downfall is that they are closed on Sundays (only time I can go:(). Ugh! Don’t go here!

Do NOT support this business. Terrible service. I have been a loyal customer. I’ve been going here for years, have tolerated the rudeness, the unorganized system they have, and even the not so perfect nails. Why? Because the owner «Christina» is really good… when she is in the mood.
The issues:
1. They all don’t know how to do nails. Basic manicures is passing. Their fillings are horrible. You can see where your nail grew out under the filling.
2. They assume that you want acrylic filling and get an attitude when you ask for something different (because it requires more work).
3. If you make an appointment and come on time, you still have to wait. (Sometimes for as long as an half and hour).
4. If you don’t like how a color looks on your fingers or feet, they get major attitude and talk to each other in Chinese.
5. The owner is the WORST. She DOES NOT care about her customers especially her repeated ones. She is rude and obnoxious also. Will never put the customers first and when you confront her, she does the whole «I don’t speak English» act.
What made me leave and write this review:
I made an appointment with Christina (the owner) 3 days in advance for my sister and I. I told them my sister was the bride and I was in the bridal party. We got there 15 mins early. The store was busy, we waited thill she finish the person in her chair and I said the 5:00 appointments are here. She replied «well I have a 4:30, next». We waited because they style my sister wanted was complicated and only Christina would be able to do it. We decided to do our feet but had to wait again till someone was free. At 5:30 — 5:45 Christina started my sisters nails. When my feet was done, I went to sit with her, discussing how I would get my hands done. It was now 6:20pm, Christina said to me «you getting nails done too?» I was like yes. She responded «Not today» I was like «yes, today, after my sister». she got mad and said «well I can’t do it because I have to go to a party at 7:00″. I was like but I have an appointment, we can early, I’m in the bridal party, what am I suppose to do. She was like „I can’t do it“ No sorry, no referring me to her next best worker. All my sister had to do was paint and design at this point. I kept pleading but she would budge. My sister said „hold up, you need to do my sister’s nails“, you saw us waiting». This woman responded «you want me to design your nails or not?». At that point we said were so angry, we left. Because we are decent and honest people we paid for whatever service we had, but left, she did not try to stop us. All she kept saying, I have a party at 7:00. Looking at my sister’s nails, they were shaped crappy.
I just wanted to share this with you guys because I couldn’t believe that a business owner would act in this manner. I don’t know what was wrong that day but I don’t believe that customers should be treated that way. As I spoke to various people, trying to find a new spot, I got the same complaints about this business. Hope my experience helps.

I went there 3x and each time i went it got worst. Never again. They took off my acrylic from my own nails and end off ripping my own nail. Bleeding and all she puts nail polish remover. What a stupid bitch. When I yell at her she talks her language to Christine who is the owner. They start talking back and forth. Christine is so unprofessional herself. She should have taken care of this situation but instead was putting on herself fake eye lashes. They break your nails just to charge you more money to put on a tip. This place is all bullshit. Dont go there. There is a new place I tried on 164 street and 65 ave. Right on the corner. Much better. Christine and her staff is very unprofessional and nasty. I would give them a 0.

Last week I came in for a gel mani ($ 20) and it started to chip a few days ago!!! Not happy about this at all. It wasn’t even a full week! From all the negative reviews, I thought I would give it a try since it was close by and were open late. The lady wasn’t pleasant either! I wouldn’t recommend this place at all

Simply the BEST. Cindy & Rachel give the best mani and pedis. ALWAYS make an apt before coming in to the place. Variety of colors and a mellow environment.

Please DO NOT GO to this salon the worst service Nasty people I walked in i was not greeted actually got nasty looks they can keep their cheap prices I rather pay few dollars more then be treated like an animal there is too much competition for the nasty attitude I have one last message for the woman and the man working at this Salone welcome to America customer service is key in America and word of mouth is big so your nasty attitude got a go

I went here a few times for simple filling but after today never again. I came for a filling and pointed out the acrylic was coming off one of my own nails. She then took the whole acrylic off that nail and continued to do so unnecessarily on other nails. I said i hope you wont charge me for this and she then pulled off the acrylic ripping and breaking off my own natural nail .she then had the nerve to not fix what she broke And tried to charge me extra! After i said im not paying extra for what she broke she handled my hands aggressively and rude like.
They also ignore phones and if they do pick up they just say there busy and fake giggle trying to be friendly. Meanwhile theres no one waiting and is not busy at all just short staff.

So sad that I don’t have the option to do 0 stars. Got my nails done here for the first time ever to give it a try and man what a disappointment. You even get pushed on top of being ignored the whole process as the girl was on her phone calling her boyfriend. He wasn’t answering and I don’t blame him! This women literally first pulled and then pushed me expecting me to take it from her and not speak back. So disappointed as I have never been thrown around at a nail place like that before. Those of you who «LOVE» this place need to try other places too where I’m sure you’ll get at least 99% more respected. And then the cherry on top the owner and the other male in here started giving me looks too instead of telling her to behave herself. Will NEVER be back. Disgusting. They should be glad I didn’t call the cops on her for that women to be first pulling and then pushing me because I’m sure they had cameras to prove my point! To hell with you EVIL MONSTERS! Hope nothing but your closure ASAP!

Pros:
Cheap acrylic nails
They shape the nails well, do them thin and fairly natural looking
Lots of patterns for gel acrylic nails
Cons:
Long waits, even if you make an appointment, walk ins seem to be treated equal
Pedicures don’t seem to last long from here
Overall I recommend for someone with acrylic nails. My fill ins last over a month. This is the only place that my acrylics didn’t break off, and looked good for a long time.

They have been so lazy and sluggish apparently. They used to be the best ones in fresh meadows but they don’t even have a good quality anymore. Girls don’t massage your shoulders after done with mani pedi while they do some when in mood. Its really unfair. They need to improve the service again. REALLY DISAPPOINTING.

Not too long ago I got a new set of acrylic tips which fell off a week later. I was given attitude by the lady who originally did them and the manager CHRISTINE made me pay for a new set… then I decided to try them again months later…
The day before I walked in and I had a pedicure. They told me to come back the NEXT day for a fill in… so foolishly I returned the next day after scheduling an appointment expecting to be seen quicker… NO WRONG… I waited a long time for my 3:30 appointment. It was approximately 37 minutes before I was seen. My nails were rushed and cuticles were not cleaned properly. I had a dark red polish on last time which is still visible this time. When I asked why it was visible, the lady said it’s too hard to come off… unreal. I need to find a new salon because they have definitely fallen off! This salon was recommended to me a while ago and it was good at the time, but it has definitely changed. Loyal customers get NO respect! Shameful!
Someone help me find a new salon! Please.

$ 20 acrylics!!! Most places do a half-​as-​good job and charge you $ 35-​$ 60. They’re fast yet don’t rush and do a sloppy job. Cute & cheap nail place, definitely returning!

Been coming here for for over 10 years always a pleasant experience… Until the young man sitting on his phone is the only one available to do my nails. He didn’t seem happy to have a customer, huffing and hawing while filing my original gel off (prior to soaking) I stopped in for a quick gel manicure. He took 30 mins to just get the polish off and cut my nails and shape them! Then I had to go so I told him. I’m sorry I will have to come back, just charge me for a reg manicure (no color not even clear). He takes out his book, and puts in $ 10. Suddenly angry to loose my service midway… He then aggressively yells out «extra $ 4 for taking the gel off». Acetone is cheap as dirt and the only reason it took so long is because of his incompetence. I’m really sorry to have to be leaving this place… But only way I go back is if I am guaranteed one of the other ladies. Only reason I give 3 stars is cause they have been my go to place for 10 years… Maybe more… Not any more… So thanks jackass!

I’ve been here prolly 3x time until it was busy dat day and they gave me this girl who got a short hair… she wasn’t really familiar to me and I felt like she wasn’t even an expert on doing mani/​pedi coz I never seen anyone who does mine and not really even clean really clean my nails… she does not know how to use the clippers. My gosh I wanted to complain but I was such in a hurry, I did not even bother. Even doing the nail polish she wasn’t even good at it. She had to call the other girl to do it. What a service! Thank for them I did not b**** bout it. smh!

My sister, cousin, and I went to Christine’s as walk-​ins. We were greeted nicely and serviced us 15 minutes after. These were our first mani-​pedis so I was definitely curious to see how they worked. I loved almost every second of it. Can’t complain about their work, although I do feel like they rushed the color. Jennifer did acrylics on me and she’s awesome! I’m definitely coming back :) I did feel a little awkward as they did not speak much English, or at least that was the impression I got.
After leaving. I noticed my nails weren’t as good as they could’ve been, but for the price, I can’t complain.

Tips, tips, tips. $ 20. oh and they have gel manicure, gel overlay. and you must get Jennifer to do your acryllic tips. She makes them stay on forever. You really get your money’s worth. I know from experience as a person with naturally oily nails and gets my nails done once a week, that she makes your nails last 2 – 3 weeks or even four!
Amazing, for sure.

$ 15 mani/​pedi deal ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!
$ 19 mani/​pedi/​eye brow wax. Seriously, can it get any cheaper?!
If you’re looking for a place to get your nails did at cheap cheap prices, you’ve found it!

On the rare occasion that I get tips I go here. You have to ask for Christine or make an appointment and request her. She is the best and most sought after. She will spend over an hour on your nails because she is so efficient and anal about them being perfect. Good stuff. The prices are dirt cheap, $ 5 eyebrows, $ 12 pedicure, $ 20 tips etc… And if you group them up there is additional discounts. As the previous reviewer pointed out the pedicure is hit or miss.
I need to once again point this out because I noticed it while on my most recent trip. Why do some people not tip? Maybe because Ive worked in the service industry and I am a little sensitive to this issue, but seriously every time I go to a nail salon I notice b**tches that do not leave a tip?!
These women are scrubbing your calluses for Gods sake!
