Steinway Nails & Spa

This place is lovely. Came here because I saw a Groupon ($ 15 for gel mani). Totally worth it. I didn’t catch the girl’s name but she was super nice. They pay great attention to detail. They have a huge selection of nail polishes, both regular and gel. This place was super clean, comfy and spacious. They have those loyalty cards where 10 visits gets you a free mani or pedi. I loved it. Definitely worth it and will be going back.

I had a groupon here as I have been looking a good gel place in Astoria. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience! Anna was superb. Her attention to detail was really great and she was super friendly and accommodating. My nails look amazing. This nail salon is extremely clean and comfortable. It’s a hidden gem for sure and I’m so glad I stumbled upon it! Can’t wait to go back for another gel manicure soon.

Made an appointment at 5:30 it’s now 6:15 still waiting. Asked the lady why would she schedule me at 5:30 if I would be waiting for an hour her reply «they make apt too» if it wasn’t for this stupid groupon would of walked out long ago. Just told me the nail tech needs another 20 mins.
Susan was really good and quick after I was finally seen.

This place is ridiculous. Last time I went there they said I have to wait a little while to get my tips done. I ended up waiting over an hour. If they told me that I had to wait this long I would have gone to another salon. This time I went and the owner said 20 minutes. I waited and then the nail technician said there was someone else before me that she didn’t know about and then she has other 2 appointments. Are you kidding me? The owner doesn’t know what she’s doing, she looks lost half the time. Maybe she should hire more people that know how to do tips. They only have one person that knows how to do them and they have this other employee that stands there the entire time doing nothing. Maybe it’s time for a replacement? So annoying.

This place is amazing but the reason it’s so amazing is because of Anna she is the best thing in the entire place. The owner is annoying she likes to stand over your back and watch everything her employees are doing. If it wasn’t for all the excellent work Anna does I would not come here. The place is very clean which is a plus. If you go wait for Anna but it might be a little wait considering she is the only nail technician that does acrylic and gel.

Admittedly, I only went to this place because they had a Groupon for gel nails. The salon/​spa is actually very spacious and clean. I was expecting a mediocre job since that’s what I usually get at nail places in Astoria. I was very, very impressed. Anna was SO nice and did an amazing job on my nails. She shaped my nails beautifully, which is rare for me. I will definitely come back for a mani and pedi next time. Thank you, Anna!

I decided to purchase a Groupon for two gel mani’s in hopes to end my years long search for a good nail salon. Anna did my nails and she was great (and I am pretty picky to say the least). However she is the ONLY nail tech who can do gel and tips etc. basically anything besides the regular mani/​pedi so I could only imagine the wait on the weekends or evenings. Even with an appointment, expect to wait or go during the week/​at the earliest time you can. I went around 2 and the place was basically empty but she is defiantly worth the wait. Tips can only be accepted in cash and there is a 10 $ card minimum. They also charge an extra 5 to get the gel removed which in my opinion they should just charge 30 $ rather than 25 plus a removal. The place itself was fairly spacious, clean with an average décor. Defiantly recommend!

This place is a true gem.
I found it once as I was walking down on Steinway and wanted to treat myself to a simple mani-​pedi. All the staff is very nice and I’ve had several of the nail technicians. Every single one of them is welcoming and does a great job.
To access the establishment you have to go upstairs, it’s a little hidden but you won’t miss the sign on the street (which usually talks about their daily deals). The nail salon is very spacious and when it gets busy there’s enough room to not feel like a sardine. They also have a fidelity card which you can get stamped every time you get both a mani-​pedi, after the 10^th visit you can get a free mani or pedi.
I barely ever make an appointment since I just get the very simple stuff but for the ladies I advice to call ahead and book before you visit. They are very eager to take walk ins (time permitting).
If you’re in Astoria and need a good nail salon def check out this place. The staff is warm, and professional. Also: make sure you bring cash for the tips as they cannot add it to your credit card. ($ 10 minimum).

Tried out a Groupon as I was looking for a new nail salon and was definitely surprised on how nice the salon was. You wouldn’t notice it from the outside but once you walk up the stairs you’ll see how spacious, clean and new it is. Anna did my nails (gel mani) and she did a great job. They had a good selection of colors as well. Can’t beat the price either!

Great experience at this nail salon. I was pleasantly greeted by Susan who provided a wonderful gel mani. The salon is very clean and Susan was super friendly and took time to provide me with a great gel mani. Conveniently located on Steinway Street with metered street parking I would definitely recommend and will definitely come here again!!!

Definitely the best nail salon in Astoria! I have tried numerous other salons and always feel like they do a rush job after I’ve waited 20+ minutes. I came to This salon through a groupon as I didn’t even know the salon was there! The young lady, Rani, who gave me the pedicure was so sweet and did an excellent job. Susan then gave me a gel manicure and I love how she is not cheap with her product-​you can tell this will last me more than a week and a half (unlike the surrounding salons who do such thin layers sometimes missing half of my nail). Susan is the sweetest and her mother came and introduced herself as well. I have never felt more at home and actually left feeling relaxed not like I wasted my money on a crappy, rushed job. I will definitely be going back to get another mani/​pedi and a massage! If you are in the area around Steinway, definitely skip the other salons around there and go to Steinway Nails & Spa, You will NOT be disappointed!

I have never felt so compelled to write a positive Unilocal review! This place is truly a gem in the Astoria nail salon scene. STOP waiting 45 minutes at Athena. Stop waiting at Lily’s, and Jaime, and Kiki’s. Take a few extra minutes and walk here!
This salon used to be Cupid Nail Salon, but three weeks ago came under new management and I could not be more thrilled about it. Ladies, don’t you hate when you pay $ 40+ for a mani/​pedi, only to leave 20 minutes later, after an extremely rushed mani/​pedi? Well THIS salon will never make you feel that way. This experience was exactly what a relaxing mani/​pedi should be: RELAXING!
Rina took her time on my pedicure– she was delicate, and attentive. Then onto Susan (wonderful Susan!) for my gel mani. Absolute perfection. All of the workers here are so courteous and so kind and so wonderful AHHH! I haven’t had such a positive nail salon experience in NYC in… uhhh…forever…UNTIL NOW!
I came to this place on a whim after having such half-​assed jobs everywhere else in Astoria, and I am so so so happy I did. Do yourself a favor and go to Steinway Nails. Thank me later!
