Snob Nail Spa

I went there twice already, and I will go back !
Pedicure and manicure are nice and the price is correct.
I also did waxing, I have to say it’s done in a corner behind a curtain, which I thought would really bother me, but they’ve been so nice that I even forgot about it and did not feel disturbed by this at all.
The atmosphere is nice and relaxed, often busy and lively but not ‘excluding’ the customers like it can be in some places.
It can get busy, so it’s recommended to make an appointment if you want to go during lunchtime or weekends I guess — especially for multiple treatments.

Been coming here for years. Simply the best nail salon! Not just in LIC, but in all of NYC. Great quality work, the gals are all SO nice and friendly, and they take their time to make sure they give you a great manicure or pedicure. Make an appointment & don’t forget to tip in cash!

I went based off of reviews and it being a slow day at the office so I had some time to kill and I’m really glad i went. It wasn’t busy when I went but it definitely was busy enough for it being the middle of a work day. I didn’t have an appointment but luckily I came during a lull in people so I was able to be helped immediately. They had a solid color and brand selection which is awesome also the décor was so chic and trendy which I thought was a nice touch. My technician was very nice and offered to help me select my color which I appreciated because I don’t know why but I always get overwhelmed doing that! She was so meticulous with the filing and cuticles and the paint job was fantastic! I was watching the others and they all seemed to be great and super friendly. In short, I was very pleased and I will definitely be back!

The nicest nail salon in LIC! The employees are very nice and have fun and creative ideas. Would recommend to anyone!

A fantastic place. A nail spa rather than a nail salon. I have had pedicures/​manicures with everyone there at this point and they are all great. I recommend an appointment, especially on weekends. The place is a boutique salon and they never rush anyone, so it is good to reserve your spot in advance. A great value for the treatment.

This place is awesome! $ 22 for a standard pedicure, and the lady did a meticulous job. There’s also an excellent polish selection, including up-​to-​date colors from the ubiquitous brands (e.g. Essie’s silk watercolor collection) and some more unique options including a vegan/​all-​natural brand I didn’t recognize, but which seemed great.
Some things to note:
— There are only 3 pedicure chairs, so it’s best to make an appointment especially if it’s an evening or weekend time slot.
— The pedicure chairs don’t massage, only vibrate. The chair massage is of the main reasons I get regular pedis, so it’s something to keep in mind. The vibration wasn’t bad, just not the lovely electric massage I was expecting (there’s probably a NSFW joke in that sentence somewhere, but I’ll #stayclassy and avoid it).
Also, the owner is Greek, which makes this review a bit biased, but… #ohwell

I’ve been going there for nearly 4 years and I don’t need to make an appointment with any particular person because all the girls are top notch. Super-​friendly, clean, and efficient.
It’s a small spot, though, so make an appointment!

I went for the spa manicure and my nails look beautiful :) However. the website posts the price as $ 30, I was charged $ 35 and with tax it was $ 38! Never mind tip, but it was well earned. I got an amazing arm and hand massage as part of the spa manicure. Not a place to go on your lunch break– took over an hour.

For LIC standards, as long as you make an appointment they’re meticulous.
Positive: I dont think they water down their polish, plus you can pay an extra 1 $ to get designer nail polish
Negative: the chairs dont massage, they vibrate

The place was cute-​ish. In terms of sanitary and cleanliness, I found the actual interior and grounds to be slightly filthy. That’s gross from a nail salon. The nail technician never introduced herself, never smiled, never even attempted to engage conversation with me. Bad impression for a first (and now last-​time) client. The AC was broken and was dripping, doors left open which this caused cigarette smoke to filter down into the nail salon (real fun!), and the nail bar where you get your manicure was dusty and dirty. Even the girl at the front desk never smiled. Just sat there picking at her nails and cuticles. They never offered any water, which sucks when it’s hot outside and they have no AC.

I went to this place Cuz I was in the neighborhood and needed a manicure. I checked Unilocal and saw that this place was close and had pretty good reviews. It was a Saturday and it was busy. I was lucky enough to get squeezed in for a mani. I love their set up and all their decorations. And the place was nice and clean! I was impressed by how awesome my mani came out! They don’t dilute their nail polish like other places do. So it came out really nice and didn’t chip! I live all the way in Staten Island but this just became my favorite place to get my nails done! So I went back the next day for my pedicure AND I brought my sister! :P

This isn’t a place for walk in’s so make sure you make an appointment. I’ve never been disappointed with any of the nail technicians and they’re always up for a challenge when I bring some crazy nail art pictures up on my phone. I won’t go anywhere else in the neighborhood because I’m spoiled by snob.

I am going to give this place a review without even receiving services. I came into the place around noon on a Saturday, wanting to make an appointment for a brazilian wax. I walked in and there was no host. So I stood there for a minute then someone, not sure which lady, yelled from the room, «no appointments!», I looked up to see who yelled and they said, «we can’t help you today». Cold, rude yelling is not what I am looking for, I hope they did this to enough people that they will have to reconsider hiring a host.

I have been to so many nail salons hoping to find «the one» in Manhattan and LIC. I am so happy to say Snob nail is «the one» for me. I have been to cheap and expensive nail salons in Manhattan and none of them compare to Snob’s thoroughness. Their manicures and pedicures last much longer than the other salons because of their attention to detail. They buff the nails and clean them several times with nail polish remover and they do a final check for missed cuticles before applying polish. A lot of salons I have been to do not spend enough time buffing the nails and I end up with rough nail shards that poke out of the polish.
I recommend making an appointment. They get busy in the evenings and weekends and they like to have enough time to for each client.

I went to Snob for a Gel Manicure yesterday and the women who did my nails did an awesome job! She took her time and went the extra step to fix one of my broken nails to make sure they were perfect. She was super friendly and we ended up chatting the whole time.
I will certainly be returning but I recommend you book an appointment as the place is pretty small.

I was really hoping to love this nail salon but I have been disappointed every time I get my nails done here. I always do gel and they have never lasted more than a couple days. I have gone back to have my nails repainted and they of course chip off a couple days after that. I have nail places I go to that the gel polish last over two weeks so it is not worth it for a couple days.

Very friendly, very thorough, and very cheap ($ 11 for a manicure).
What more could you ask for?
I am super type A and OCD and before I could even say a word the manicurist went over each of my nails three times and filed them perfectly and evenly.
This place is a dream come true.
When prices are fair, I’m more inclined to tip big. I was obnoxious enough to come in with shellac nails and they had to spend the extra time getting that crap off. Charged me the same price as a regular manicure.
Nothing snobby about Snob Nail Spa.

The people here are so friendly and sweet! The lady who did my Brazilian wax was amazing and was patient with me even though half the time it looked as though I was about to kick her face. In addition to that, the biggest reason why I gave them 5 stars is because of cleanliness. SUPER CLEAN!

After 7 months of looking I finally found a nail salon who deliver a great service in a nice clean environment. I have always had my nails done in the UK and was beginning to loose faith that I would ever find anywhere as good in NYC.
The lady I had did a fantastic job of my French mani/​pedi and I am so pleased with the outcome!
Thank you!!!

I really liked this place a lot, my girl friend who lives right nearby recommended it so we went. It’s small but the little manicure bar they have setup is ADORABLE. I believe there were 2 – 3 pedicure chairs also, so try to make an appointment.
The service was great, Maria is a doll. My nails stayed for a week which is all I can really ask for! The pricing was also very reasonable which I understand is not common for the area (I normally go in Astoria). Very clean and neat also. Will be back!
