Forever Beauty Nail

Forever Beauty is great — never a long wait for walk-​ins and great price for the quality ($ 9.50 for a basic manicure). They give a quick complimentary shoulder massage while nails are drying, too.

The worst pedicure ever. $ 50 to have callus removed and instead, I have chopped up feet and heels. I limped home because she literally took off a piece of skin from my foot and it’s bleeding. Would not recommend them to anyone.

I am so disappointed in this place. The girls working there were very nice, but it is hands down the worst gel manicure I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. Instead of letting each coat dry under the light, she did 2 nails on one hand, put that one under the lamp while she did 2 nails on the other hand, then repeated until all 3 coats were on. None of my nails got more than 2 – 3 minutes under the light. At the end she made me try to fit both hands under one light, they’re only designed for one hand at a time. Because of this, the gel broke off on the ends of 2 nails within a day and another completely peeled off on the second day. While I was in there another girl came in complaining of exactly that happening to her the day before so sadly it isn’t just me. Too bad because they have a great selection of colors and it seemed clean.

I really wanted to like this place. It all started out so nicely. I went in for a mani/​pedi on Sunday. It was busy and there was a wait, but I didn’t mind so I sat down for a few minutes until they had a chair ready. Everything started as normal, although I thought they cut a few corners in terms of the service. I’m not sure if it was my specific girl or if she had a bad day, but I’m just going to cut to the chase:
— she cut me not once, but twice — she tried to pretend like it didn’t happen until after I paid to see if I noticed, and then she put the bacterial stuff on AFTER the lotion, the base coat, etc… I should have said something but I thought I’d defer to her expertise, but it wasn’t until I gave her a tip that she finally put bacterial ointment on.
— That said, it was too late and now one of my cuts is now infected
— The shaping of the nails was shoddy at best, my nails look like shit now and I’m going to have to let them grow out
— One of the nails actually broke the night of and I keep finding new hangnails
I can say that I’ve honestly never had such a bad mani/​pedi experience in my entire life. Terrible.

I am not a frequent mani/​pedi gal, but when I need one for an event, this is my go-​to neighborhood mani/​pedi spot.
I’ve frequented other places in the East 60s/​70s, and Forever Beauty Nail gives the best quality for the $, although that depends slightly on the lady doing your service.
As I’ve been coming here for 4 – 5 years, usually the same lady does my service as I suppose I am her «client.»
Their mani/​pedis seem to last longer than other ones I’ve had nearby, and in terms of the pedicure, I think they do a better job of scrub/​exfoliation. They also give you a 3 min upper back massage when you are at the drying station. Kind of a nice touch.
The spa is new, clean, and well-​maintained.
I think a mani/​pedi combo will set you back about $ 30+ tip (and they don’t accept credit card tips, so bring cash to pay your tip…), which seems standard for this ‘hood.
I’ve also on occasion had my eyebrows waxed here, and that too was reasonable service.

Sea Salt Spa Pedicure includes free manicure for $ 50 was awesome! Also had 10 minute massage for $ 11. Well worth it!!! Best nail shop!!!

I was looking for a new nail shop to get a gel manicure at today and lucky me I found Forever Beauty. This is a smallish, clean nail salon, with very nice service. I got a gel manicure for $ 30 which is a pretty good deal. Regular manicures are $ 9 dollars here which I like as well. My manicurists massaged my shoulders while my gel dried — and it wasnt just a 30 second tease massage, she took her time — same with the hand massage. I also eally liked was the array of color choices — both gel and regular. One thing I noticed was a lot of the clientele were making appointments for next week — I have a feeling they get very busy with regulars. I will definitely be going back here and bringing my sister and Mom.

This is great little nail place in a strange part of town. I have been twice, both times following a Bed, Bath & Beyond errand (1 block away). They are efficient and do a quality paint job. I only had a mani, not pedi, but I would try them for pedi as well. I also got a 15-​minute massage two times and they were heavenly. I give this two (perfectly polish) thumbs up!

I love shellac pedicures. This one was great! Impressive color selection and comfy chair, plus nice staff. I stupidly broke /​sprained my toe at work and the lady who took care of me did a gentle and careful job ensuring my pedi was pain free! This Unilocal!listing says East Village but it is in the East 60s so that should be corrected.

They do indeed take their time here (but in a good way!), so if you are in a hurry, this is not the place for you. The prices are good, even not on a combo day — $ 9 for mani and $ 21 for pedi. The service is fantastic — they are very nice and attentive to you.

This place is great if you’re looking for a relaxing time. They’re awesome at making you feel great! This place is definitely not the place for a quick mani/​pedi. They like to give you massages and take their time with the work. Personally, I prefer this to a quick mani/​pedi job. They also have these super comfortable massage chairs that you can sit on while they’re doing your pedicure. On Mon & Tue a mani/​pedi combo is only $ 26

I’ve been here a few times, mostly because it is really close to my apt. The people who work here are extremely nice (much nicer than Spa Boutique), but they tend to take a long time and not do that great of a job. I mean it’s fine, but won’t last very long and it takes FOREVER. If you are in a hurry, don’t go here. It is a brand new salon and the atmosphere is very nice. If you value service over quality, this is the place. I’d go here for a polish change or 10 min massage, but not full on mani/​pedi because I just don’t have the time. But again, they are VERY nice and there is a discount Mon/​Tues for mani/​pedi combo, I believe.
