Kris Nails

I’ve been coming here for over 5 years. It’s so homey and they are just great. The owner is always updating the place to keep it fresh and super clean. They sterilize all equipment with autoclave and use pedicure liners. Great selection of color and service!

I love it there it’s just like family an they take good care of u I been with them for many years an I would not go any where else love them all an now I’m having my little girl an she will be going there

Today was my first time trying this salon. I tried it out of recommendation from a relative of mine because of her love for this place. Every amazing compliment she told me was true. From the time I stepped in the salon, I felt treated like a queen. The staff speaks great English, gives a great complimentary massage, and the prices are cheap along with great service. I have already made an appointment for next week.

The place is clean which is a plus but the service not so great. Came in for a meni and pedi. After doing my nails I waited 15 minutes to let them dry and still was not enough. My meni got ruined before I walked out of the place. The pedi didn’t last long either. The girl Who did my nails used to much of nail polish. I was so happy to find a place to love but I won’t go back to waist my money :(

This place is not even worth a single star!!! I just left the place I don’t recall ever being as pissed as I am right now… I have been for a search for new nail place since the girl that did my nails moved and went to work it the city (that’s just to much of a travel for mani and pedi) and I get my nails done every week, I looked in the neighborhood, and using Unilocal I can across this place…
Call to ask if they will have time to do pedi they said yes no problem so I went right away… The lady that took care of me had no clue what in the world she was doing!!! Didn’t push my cuticles didn’t cut them didn’t clean my feet and after 10 minutes she called it a pedi… When I asked if she’s going to clean it she said yes later!!! Then why in the world are you putting lotion on my feet if you not done cleaning them, isn’t that what a pedi is!!! Cleaning your toe nails and feet!!! Isn’t this what they charge for l… Well not in this place!!!’ The owner was way to busy to have a discussion what seemed to be like an old client to be even noticing anything wrong!!! Well I guess they have so many customers that gaining another one makes no difference to them!!! I’m absolutely disgusted with what have happened!!! And even more disgusted with the fact that her seeing me not happy she still charged me 17 dollars!!! First time ever I walked out from a place not leaving a tip oh well today I did!!!

I would have loved to write a better review but I’m kind of disappointed in the quality. I went after work around 4 pm on a Wednesday. The place was very clean I was taken right away and there were two technicians working that day. It was right after that huge storm so I don’t think they felt they needed more than two people, not many customers that week. Anyway the young girl working there was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the technician who worked on me was not friendly and barely spoke English. She took her time and on first look I thought she did an ok job. I got a regular gel manicure and by the time I got home there were bubbles in the gel and one of my nails peeled off the next day. I’m so annoyed. It was not that cheap of a place so I don’t think I’ll be returning. I will have to stick with my regular nail salon. I guess that’s what you get for not sticking with what you know.

First time at Kris nail– it was a last minute manicure run prior to an important event on a Saturday morning. I forgot to get the lady’s name but she was extremely meticulous with her work on my poor/​short nails. My thumb nail was breaking in half and I asked her to fix it any way she could and she was very accomodating. One of the customers was requesting for my manicurist to do her nail ASAP but she wasn’t rushing or doing a poor job, trying to finish her work on my nails. As I finished one cycle of drying, I rushed to leave but my manicurist politely asked to dry more and continued to cared for me while working on other customer. Appreciated her care and will definitely be going back for sure.

Awesome!!! Highly recommended! All around they provide great customer service. It’s a clean and happy environment.

It can be quite difficult to find a good nail salon that offers cleanliness, quality work, and friendly smile; Kris Nail Salon offers all those things! My sister came in here today and got their special which was a spa pedicure with and a FREE gel manicure; talk about bargain! They took their time and everything was so clean. I think I have found my permanent nail spot. Very pleased and highly recommended.

Stumbled upon this place this past weekend as I was due for a manicure but didn’t want to venture too far.
Found via Unilocal and a hop and a skip from my house Kris’s nails is my new go-​to for my weekend mani pedis.
If you’re in the neighborhood or just looking for a reasonably priced nail salon — this is the place to be.

Still my favorite nail salon! Always so accommodating, friendly and kind. Salon is clean and I always leave extremely happy!

First time here and I had a great experience. I’m not from the area so I just stopped by for a quick manicure.
Service was great, the ladies were friendly. I messed up my manicure before leaving and she had no problem fixing it. They have a great summer special $ 30 regular pedicure and gel manicure that I would definitely take advantage of next time.
Clean, great nail skills and customer service what else could you ask for?

I will exclusively come to Kris Nails! After being a bit insecure of what could be happening in the background of most nail salons, I was completely reliant on previous Unilocal reviews for a place to call home. From my first visit to my most recent, they have always done right by their customers. Not only do they have a good deal for a mani and pedi in the winter, but for those gals who are looking to have a gel mani, they offer a combo deal for a gel mani and regular pedi in the summer from monday — Thursday. Over the years I have brought in friends from Florida and those that are a few towns over to get the best service they can for a nail fix.
From a selection of OPI and Essie nail polishes to having their own autoclave that all instruments are bagged in to use per customer and finishing off with using sunscreen before beginning the gel manicures, I couldn’t expect a higher quality of service. They allot time for those that are getting pedicures to have 5 minutes for a relaxing foot massage which is standard for them. The pedicure chairs that are fully equipped with the massaging options always work and seem to always set my drive to sleepy mode.
In making appointments they are always prompt and on time and exceptionally accommodating. After bringing my boyfriend hear for a quick clean up before our vacation he finds himself going no where else. He loves the gossip he can have with the girls and staff and has been able to create a friendship with them over time. After he tried planning a surprise day date for us, Kris Nails was apart of his plan. In running a bit later than expected, the salon was able to still accommodate our appointments to make it work in knowing he had a few things planned for the day!

Went here after hearing about their Summer Special: Gel Mani Pedi $ 30 (M-​Th) and $ 35 (Fr-​Su)
They did an okay job. I had Maria do my gel nails — I don’t know if it was the color I chose but I definitely left there a little disappointed because the color pay out was not as opaque as I wanted. I even showed them a picture. Even after 3 coats, there were still transparent spots. Overall, it looks nice but if you look closely, you can tell there are flaws.
Pedicure was fine and the korean lady was very nice. Again, maybe it was the polish (white) but the results aren’t as opaque. I would come back and try another color.
Will definitely come back and give it another shot when I’m in town. You can’t beat the good prices!

Love this place! Stopped in because they had a great deal — Mon-​Thur $ 30 /​Fri& Sat $ 35 for gel mani and regular pedicure.
Kris did my manicure and Maria did my pedicure. They are both lovely!
The nail salon itself is clean and sanitary.
I definitely plan on coming here more often

There’s truly nothing I love more at a nail salon than the ‘schrrrip!’ sound of someone opening up a new sanitized set of nail tools. They’ve done that both of the times I’ve come here in the past month and that, along with the general cleanliness of the space, allows me to rest easy knowing that the likeliness of infection or contamination here is pretty slim. The wait is never terribly long but I’ve noticed a steady stream of customers each visit, which is ably handled by the 3+ technicians that are always on hand. Currently, they are running a gel manicure plus pedicure special for $ 35 ($ 30 on weekdays), which is more than fair, especially considering some Manhattan salons that can run you closer to fifty. I also enjoyed the wide variety of colors and brands of polish, even for the gel manicures (most salons in the area seem to only carry one or two brands at most, and a pretty limited selection of colors at that). Though I’m Korean, I never divulged that to the ladies who work there and I was pleased to find that there was no trash-​talking of customers amongst the Korean workers there (though they referred to me as ‘that Chinese girl’, which I guess means I must have played dumb pretty well).
Much as I love Kris Nails, the one big thing that keeps me from awarding this space a higher rating is the fact that every time I get my nails done here, there is always a chip on either my toes or my nails within that same week. It’s always just one nail and it’s always within mere days of getting them done. The first time, it was a discernible chip on the tip of my ring finger. After my most recent visit, the polish on one of my toes had a good hunk fall off. It was especially noticeable since I’d chosen a pretty bright color and it’s irritating to have to go and get another mani pedi job to make up for a chip on one digit. I’m wiling to give this space a few more tries to see if this is a consistent mark of their work, but I hope this was just an unfortunate coincidence because I love everything else about this salon.

I had a relaxing first experience at Kris Nails overall, and really appreciated the thoroughness of the staff. The woman who did my mani-​pedi really took her time on the foot/​leg and hand massages, which felt great! She also did an excellent job with the filing and painting. The downsides are that the wait was a bit long due to the limited staff, and the place is admittedly a bit run-​down. There are other salons in the area with more up-​to-​date equipment and a sleeker environment, but to me it’s the people working there who make or break the experience. Kris is a very warm and welcoming person and I respect the hard-​working staff. I will definitely be back!

This is by far the most clean and sanitary nail salon I have ever been to. They open up a fresh set of sanitized manicure and pedicure sets for every person that comes in the door. They have OPI and Essie colors from old to new. They offer an array of services, you can make an appointment, they give everyone a free massage with their pedicure or manicure for 5 minutes which is really generous. The staff is extremely pleasant and goes out of their way to accommodate you.

Just moved to fresh meadows, and found Kris nails using Unilocal.The wait was a little long, but definitely worth it! I did a basic manicure, which came out flawless. The place is clean, with a super friendly staff. I am going to make this my regular spot for mani pedi and waxing! Highly recommended:)

After reading all the good reviews, I thought I would try this place out. I’ve been to so many salons in the area to get my nails done, and wanted to find a solid place where I could get my gel manicures done, and I don’t think Kris nails is going to be the place. First off, their color selection is very minimal and the Jean or Jeanie, couldn’t do any nail designs which is real turn off. The staff there was so nice, and so personalable, but the manicure itself wasn’t great. She got a lot of the gel on my skin and didn’t take it off. After about 4 days the gel started to lift on two fingers and eventually chipped off. On other nails where the gel was lifting, it got caught on something and made my nail rip a little and broke my nail. And now, after 6 days of having the gel, the tips of my nails have no gel on them at all and the manicure looks terrible.
I’ve had gel manicures before that have lasted unto 3 weeks, almost flawless, but this experience is certainly not the case. I do normal chores at home, like dishes, and have never experienced the gel lasting this shortly. And to top it off, I paid $ 30 for this manicure that I could of gotten anywhere else for $ 20-​$ 25.
Again, the staff was so nice and out going, but their gel manicures were not great.
