Joy Nail

Went in for a pedicure, was not a very good experience. It was not relaxing, the lady that did my toes was rough and she made my cuticles bleed, she trimmed too much off the sides of my nails. I like to get pedicures so my feet feel good, my one big toe is still healing almost a week later. I won’t go back to this salon.

Great gel manicure for $ 25. No wait — I called 45 minutes beforehand and was seen when I came in. Would definitely return!

Love this place — always friendly, clean and my nails last forever. All the girls there are great ! Go here not to the one higher up who are rude and do not appreciate good paying customers.

The best salon in the neighborhood. I’ve tried the others but Lisa and her team do an excellent job and give you the best bang for your buck. You can’t go wrong!

With my due date quickly approaching (tomorrow, in fact) I decided to try and get a manicure and pedicure today before it was too late. I walked into Joy around 12:30pm and it was empty. Perfect! I was greeted as soon as I walked in by, who I assume to be, the owner and her employees. Everyone was really sweet right away!
I chose the Lavender Spa Pedicure and it was fantastic. The tech gave my swollen legs a great 10 minute massage (part of the package) and I nearly fell asleep in the chair; I was so relaxed. She did a wonderful job on my manicure as well.
The pricing was really reasonable, everyone was incredibly friendly, and they were so helpful getting me in and out of the chairs, even helping me get my shoes and coat on which is a big deal for someone who is about to pop any minute!
I would have given 5 stars, but their nail polish selection was lacking quite a bit and the salon could use some updates. Neither will stop me from coming back though!

Hi my name is Ana. I was a regular client in this place, all the manicurist in there are professional and excellent they know what they do. BUTT there is a huge difference when I have to talk about the owner. She is so rude with clients. I used to go there once per week but I stopped to go cuz the owner (chinese lady) got mad cuz Olga one of the manicurist (the best in there) took a little bit longer doing my pedicure than usually takes. The owner told me I cannot make an appointment with Olga anymore just with Mariela, which is another manicurist she is good but I don’t like her. Olga already knows how to do my work. I love her. Anyways I got mad cuz the owner was rude with me telling me with whom should I get a mani/​pedi just cuz she is loosing time when olga is doing my work. Whatever I just wanna let u know guys if u go to that place ask for OLGA she is the best. She is delicated, professional and excellent manicurist and try to avoid any contact with the owner she is a completely asshole! I believed that place would be nothing with out Olga y Mariela. Cuz the owner doesn’t know how to treat with customers and she doesn’t do a good mani/​pedi. I stopped to go there cuz the owner. She is such an asshole.

I like the atmosphere, it’s very roomy and comfortable. The workers there are very kind as well and do such a great job with manis and pedis. The prices there are affordable as well! The massages are also amazing. With someone on a budget, I definitely recommend this nail salon.

I’ve been to Joy Nail Salon about three times within the past two months. Having previously lived in Detroit and Washington, DC seeing the prices for Joy’s Nail Salon was like a shock to me. Getting your nails done in NYC is probably cheaper than anywhere else in the US. But anyways, I go to Joy’s for their $ 16.99 mani/​pedi. This special runs from Monday– Wednesday. I have also gotten an under arm wax from here as well. The shop is very clean and they do a pretty good job. You can also request for your own box and bring your own supplies with you. I loved the scrub I got with the Pedicure and she did a great job getting the cuticles on my toes. My polish job usually last over 3 weeks for my feet. For the hands I can go a good week, but I do keep my hands in water quite often. Oh and make sure to get a business card, on the back they have a frequent visitor card, after your tenth visit your manicure is free! They use Essie polish and they have a pretty nice selection of colors. Next time your in the neighborhood check out Joy Nails.

Olga gave me my first mani/​pedi here and it was the best. She did everything you want without me even asking (clipped corners of nails, cleaned underneath nails) great foot and hand massage and back when drying. The prices are low, especially for the good services they provide. Will definitely be going back

It’s place is awesome. I definitely do recommend making an appointment, almost two days in advance if you plan on going during a high volume time. Mariela does an amazing job. Definitely my favorite nail place by far. Keep up the great work ladies!

I’ve been a customer there for 2 years. Mariela and Veronica are the best mani/​pedicurists ever!!! I was really happy to go there every two weeks. But… the owner/​manager (Chinese lady) simply doesn’t know how to keep their customers, doesn’t care much about their reputation. She barely speaks English. She is rude and unprofessional.
I am a new mom, so, for me it turned to be hard to come there and I started to schedule the appointments. And TWICE my appointments were taken by someone else. This lady just gave it to another customer without letting me know. All of the staff know me well, know that I have a baby and I have to drive there cause live far. The owner just kicked me out!!! Why does she schedule any appointment if she is not going to reserve them? And after it happened to me again and she just said I didn’t schedule the appointment, I was so mad and I promised her never come back there again. Now it is very hard for me to find a professional manicurist like Veronica and Mariela but I don’t want to deal with liars and ignorant people. Moreover, to pay them.

went in cause usual place was busy and went here, it was ok i suppose, but i’ve experienced better.
Just realized… theres a similar nail salon right up the block called JOYCE salon. and am wondering if these reviews are credible. It would be a shame if reviewers are writing reviews meant for the other business and vise versa. similar names with similar address.

By far, the best nail salon in Queens. Although the nail polish colors are slim pickings, the girls that work there (Mariela and Veronica) are fabulous manicurists. They take their time to cut your cuticles and give great massages. The owner, Lisa, doesn’t speak much english so you’re better off asking her simple yes or no questions. I usually take my own polish, only because if it chips I like to have the color to be able to touch it up myself.
Anyway, this place is great. And the prices are awesome.

I can easily go to another nail salon in Manhattan in between jobs or whatever, but I always come back to Joy Nail. I do so not only because they’re close (although that is a HUGE draw), but they have the best service around for the price (you really can’t go wrong with an $ 8 manicure). There’s no question about it. They take their time with you and do their best. I’ve NEVER had a bad mani/​pedi from any of the nail technicians.
The only reason I didn’t give a full 5-​star rating is because even when you make an appointment, you’re frequently left waiting. It’s a little bit of a downside. Also, their nail color selection seems to be shrinking. However, as I mentioned, it’s the best mani/​pedi in town. I will continue going back and recommending it.

I’ve gone here several times for a brazilian wax, and they’ve always done a good job. It’s as painless as you could ask for (though, a brazilian can never be painless…). I’ve always had Jenny do it, and she works fast and is very concerned with your comfort! I’ve also gotten a pedicure here which was good. Place is clean, and nearby. Right next to the Q10 stop, if you’re traveling here, and about halfway between the E/​F or J/​Z stops.
