Nail Gallery

I love this nail salon! Anthony and his wife Vivian are the sweetest and they do a great job always! I’ve tried many nail salons around this area and this is the only one I’ve found that does impeccable work in a totally clean environment. I’ve never left feeling unsatisfied. Anthony always has something fun for my nails and his wife is excellent at waxing and shaping my eyebrows. (Which compliment my natural beauty) Much love! And thank you!!!

Walked in for sns fill in and was rudely informed we don’t do that with an attitude !

By far, I can say Nails Gallery is the best nail salon I’ve been to in Valley Stream. I was recommended to go to this place by a friend of mine. It’s my second time coming here and I’ve been happy with their service. The team is very friendly, clean environment, and they take their time with their servicing.

The décor is nice. The place actually looks welcoming and clean, but that’s where it all ends.
They push you to get their powder gel polish ($ 30) because it lasts 2 weeks. To be fair it does past pretty long, but it looks clunky and thick (if you’re into that kind of thing).
Their regular gel manicure lasted me all of 4 hours before I had three chipped nails and although they guarantee two weeks of polish (they will fix it if it chips within two weeks), it’s more than slightly inconvenient to have to keep going back for repairs.
Top that off with their insistence to file down your nail to shreds and the rude demeanor of the manager on my last visit and that’s it: won’t be back there again.

Everyone was very friendly and tips were cheaper and done better here than where I’ve gotten them before! Everything was also very clean.

I’m new to the area, so I was looking for a nail salon to get my nails wrapped. Of course, I Unilocaled the nail salons in the area and this one had good reviews. I waited less than five minutes before the technician welcomed me over to her station. I was very satisfied with the overall ambience and cleanliness of the salon. My technician was also great. I don’t like the acrylic on my nails to be too thick, And most nail techs don’t understand when I say this to them and make them thick anyway. After expressing my request, she understood what I was asking for and did an amazing job. I think I found a new spot. I cannot wait to return for a pedicure.

I have been meaning to put this review up, I just found time to do so…
Went here on a mellow Saturday to get a pedicure and full set as it was close to home.
Place looked nice and updates, and parking was cool.
I went in, and waited a few minutes before someone even spoke to me. Finally, after explaining what I wanted I sat in the Pedicure chair. I sat there for a couple of minutes before someone came and started on me. I felt it was quick and rushed and was semi disappointed.
ANYWAY, onto the full set. They started my nails, and I guess a «regular» customer walked in and she stopped doing my nails with no explanation except «be right back»… Needless to say I sat there for 20 minutes before deciding to leave. I asked could I pay for my feet since we only got as far as filing my nails down and putting two tips on… She said she’d be with me in a couple, so I gave them that chance and waited 10 more minutes before I became pissed, and stormed out with my feet done mediocre, and two tips on…
I guess if you’re not a regular you won’t get the same love
Won’t be returning anyway.

Absolute WORST nail experience ever and I definitely will not be returning. Maybe due to the holidays things seem to have gotten mixed up? My friend scheduled an appointment for us for 2′ o clock. I arrived before her and began my session. When she arrived she was told she would have to wait until after I was finished which was not the original plan, the appointment was scheduled for two people. None the less she waited patiently. The woman that did my pedicure did a phenomenal job might I add.
My fill in was done by Anthony who seemed to be in a rush, when trying to find a color he made sure to let me know that he wasn’t going to paint my nails only for me to not like it and have to redo them. (why would I have him paint a full set and then tell him no ?) Despite his attitude I settled with one color I had set aside. It seems that they had over booked for the day as there seemed to be a few discrepancies with other clients. However, as a paying customer I should not have to suffer because of their error or be rushed. My nails were left with unpolished spaces and acrylic all over my hands.
While waiting for my friend to finish her service I stepped outside and returned with a bag. As soon as I entered I was quickly rushed by one of the workers who shouted quite loud to me that there was no food allowed inside. I explained to her that it was in a bag and I had no intentions of opening it inside, yet she still continued to tell me no food at all. .strange because they approached me much faster with the bag in my hand than they did to greet me when I initially walked in. Long story short, I will NEVER be returning. My friend’s nails came out gorgeous, perhaps had I sat with someone else my experience would have been much different.
Rated this place 2 stars due only to the great job done on my pedicure.

I swear by this place! I’m a regular for many reasons. One is that the place is clean and they are professional. I also don’t trust any salon that doesn’t carry OPI or Essie… that’s all they have! Plus, multi color selection. Also, I never feel rushed. They take their time EVERYTIME!

Waaaay overpriced. I always used to worry about how much it’d be because a $ 25 filling would always turn out to $ 50. They used to break off nails and be like «oh it looks like fungus we need to take it off» or «this one looks like it’s going to come off». Then the designs they do are not even good. Nails would look crooked also. I’m so sick of this place. It has a nice modern salon but that doesn’t matter when you’re spending so much and coming out with horrible nails. Don’t be fooled.

Thanks to the wonderful reviews on Unilocal,I decided to walk in and try this place for the first time yesterday, and I have to say it was probably the best nail salon experience I’ve ever had in my entire life (THIS IS VERY DETAILED, SORRY IF ITS LONG).
I had a previous nail salon, but it was so far and out of the way! I could never find the time to get there and once I started a new job it was even worse. So I started hunting for a nail place closer to my place of business and Nail Gallery is only 15 mins away. Anyway, on to the review!
I didn’t make an appointment, just walked on in and was instantly greeted by the staff. First impression is that the place is beautiful. It’s relaxing, everything looks new and up to date. I told them that I wanted a pedicure and gel mani. I decided on a lemon spa pedicure (which was great!). She also told me about the powder gel nails, which is supposed to be better for you than the regular gel that is cured under a UV light. It was only $ 5 more and I had money to blow and time to kill after a crazy day of work, so I said what the heck. Onto the experience…
The experience was the best. Both ladies who did my pedicure and powder gel mani were great. I have absolutely no complaints. The owner, Anthony, is a sweetheart. He joked and told me not to mention him but I’m letting the people know lol! He was telling me about the policies and the wonders of the powder gel nails and I told him that he’s sold me, I’ve become a new customer and I’ll be back in two weeks. And the powder gel mani! Amazing. I suggest all of you who regularly get gel manis (like me) should give it a try. Your nail time is cut in half! And there’s a two week warranty, so if anything should happen to your nails during that time, you can come in and fix it for free!
I will gladly give Nail Gallery all of my money. This place is a wonderful place, and I recommend YOU to stop by and enjoy yourself. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

Anthony did a great job with my mani, had a refill on my silk wrap which was done at another salon initially. The previous place did a horrible job and Anthony fixed me right up. Salon is very clean, and the staff is really friendly, I will def be going here again!

I absolutely love Nail Gallery!!! Everyone there are very kind and everyone does great work. Very easy for walk-​in appointments. The spa pedicures are amazing. I tend to get the lavender spa pedicure which is really good. Non-​stressful environment that you can relax and get your nails done after work.
This salon introduced me to powder gel nails. I love it!!! There’s a two week guarantee from the date you get your nails done as well.

6 check ins? Let me get a review poppin’…
I came here because my previous nail salon turned out to be disgusting! I searched «clean nail salons» and this came up first so I decided to give it a try.
My first visit was excellent. The place is spacious, spotless, and they take cleanliness seriously. All staff are so polite and they greet customers by their first names! From the reviews, I read that Anthony & Vivian (the owners) were the best but I was willing to let anyone do my nails as long as I got them done.
Luckily I got Anthony and he is wonderful. He’s very cool and has a great sense of humor. I loved my nail set and he introduced me to the powder gel so I didn’t have to put my hands under the UV light. The powder gels is healthier, looks better, and lasts longer. It was the third or fourth visit that Vivian did my nails and she is on the money too.
The second visit neither Anthony or Vivian did my nails and I wasn’t too pleased. I didn’t complain, but I then knew that I wanted the owners on my nails like the reviews mentioned.
I also tried the pedicure and it was amazing. I love how they keep it clean by using disposable files. It’s so relaxing with the massage it comes with and the pedicure was still looking great after the 2 weeks.
You can come in within two weeks of getting your gel manicure done and they will fix your issue for free! I just slide a lil tip and I’m good to go. Make sure you get your loyalty card signed so they know what date you last came.
After a good amount of visits, Vivian offered me a box. The box is $ 6, lasts forever, and it contains a manicure set that will only be used for you. Just grab your tray when you come in, before your manicure starts.
Nail Gallery may be a little more expensive than your average nail salon but it is definitely worth it. You get what you pay for!

It is with a heavy heart I update my review of the Nail Gallery one/​two days later. Yes I waited an entire day to see if it was really that bad. See picture.
I wanted a manicure but I got my nails painted (mind you very pretty) and my cuticles clipped (a bit). To an untrained eye It looked so fine when it was done, maybe there’s something extra special in their oil that makes one forget they went for a mani and got a paint job instead.
Fast forward one day, cuticles looked dry and hard even with all the baby oil and cuticle oil I’ve been using. Day two… well see picture.
I’m so very disappointed. I’m sure my colours will last two weeks plus. My cuticles however makes the entire thing look home done.
Desperately seeking.
Did you see the picture?
The End.

I have been going here for over ten years! The prices are average, the facility is clean and new looking, and the entire staff is helpful. Anthony and Vivian, the owners are knowledgable and provide all they can to the customer.

I LOVE getting pampered here ! Everyone is super friendly and talented ! I got coffin tip nails there and I absolutely love my nails ! And they have the best selection of nail colors too on top of it being so clean and elegant looking. If you want excellent work and service I advise to stop at nail gallery :)

I came here for the first time this week. I’ve been looking for a place close to my home, but I’ve been having a hard time doing so. When I found this place on Unilocal I took a chance with them. When I came in I was welcomed by Anthony. I was looking for a gel polish, but he gave me an option to use the gel powder. I was a little skeptical because a lot of salons try to push new products on you. I’m glad I listened to him. The gel powder looks just as good as the regular gel polish. Good thing is the light is not used. Because I’m a hypochondriac that every time I get under those lights I always think my skin is slowly burning and bringing on cancer cells. The fact that he guarantees 14 days I’m happy. I will be making this my regular nail salon. Also the flower pedicure with the 10 minute foot and leg massage was everything !!!

Love love love the nail salon set up and the way my gel manicure comes out.
Watch out for Anthony! «If he doesn’t pick on you then he doesn’t like you»

I wouldn’t go any other place to get my nails done. Nail Gallery is the best. The décor of the salon is clean, fresh and attractive. The nail technicians are all professional. Anthony and Vivian, the owners, run a tight ship and make sure everything is done correctly. They are also hands on expert nail technicians, especially for gel nails and nail design. The variety of polish colors is Excellent. Treat yourself to a spa pedicure! Lemon is my favorite.
There’s parking on the streets in municipal lots across the street. Prices are reasonable and they are always willing to fit you in.
