Went in to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed, paid $13 plus $5 tip, and when I got home and looked in the mirror I realized what a poor job it was. Spent 10 mins plucking all of the hairs she missed. They took me in right away which was nice, but the technician clearly rushed through it since she had to stop doing another woman's nails to do my waxing. I will most likely not come back. Read Less

Horrible. it was rushed & messy. I paid extra for a different kind of polish. when I saw how it was looking I asked the nail tech to stop THREE times. she insisted on finishing all of my nails & that it will look good. when she was almost done I asked her again to stop because they were uneven, I had nail polish all over my fingers, she cut me in 2 places, & the nail polish was too thick & patchy. she said she won't give my money back because she finished. such a sleazy thing to do.. she def did that on purpose. they just want your money they don't care about the customer at all. I left the salon with cuts, polish all over my fingers & unhappy with how my nails looked. Read Less

Just awful! My lady had her ENGAGEMENT RING STOLEN.I've been going here for a while now, and normally, this would have been a great review. I  went here on Tuesday 5/9/17, and had my engagement ring stolen. When I called the police, they came within minutes, only to find out this place had NO CAMERAS!! All they had was live feed only, and even that wasn't being monitored. The manager was rude when I called the next day to see if it been returned or if it somehow magically appeared. Needless to say, I won't be going back. And my advice to anyone getting services, would be to go to a place that has recording cameras. Read Less

I called the day before to make an appointment for pedicures for my cousin and myself. Timing is everything because I have a crabby baby at home and girl time is a special and very rare treat, so I called again a few hours before to make sure our appointments were still "on the books", I was told yes, all set for 2 pedicures at 4:45. We showed up at 4:40, said we had appointments, picked our colors... then waited...at 5:10 we were told to take the two chairs at the end so we sat, put our feet in the water...and waited. People got waxed, their manicures were started... at 5:20 we started packing up because a pedicure at that point was going to extend way past the time I had alotted (hence the appointments and the phone call to confirm them) and no one looked like they were going to be freed up to accommodate us any time soon anyways.  One of the ladies came by asking where we were going and that she was going to get us started. I'm sorry. If I don't have time to wait for two people to start both pedicures I definitely don't have time for you to now start them one at a time. As we were walking out the owner (?) said, "sorry, we're busy". Well I'm sorry you can't decide if you want to be a business which only takes walk-ins or one that can honor its appointments. But please stop trying to have it both ways. Very disappointed. Read Less

With my thin, easily broken nails, I need careful manicures & pedicures to make my nails look presentable. I've found just the place. Tarrytown Nails takes such special care of them, and they've never looked better. The shellac manicure lasts a full two weeks and gives my nails the protection they need. Tiffany has gotten my cuticles in great shape and helped me get rid of a small toenail problem, too. Nearly everyone knows me by name and greets everyone as if they've known them forever. Since the remodel, there's so much more room, so many more stations, and there's almost never a wait. Parking is right outside the door. I've found what I was looking for in a nail salon, and it's Tarrytown Nails. Read Less

Never written a bad yelp or Facebook review before. Came here on a recommendation from a woman who had a beautiful manicure. I brought friends with me on my first visit, and I alone had horrible service. I wish I knew the name of the older woman who did my manicure so I could tell you to avoid her. My shellac manicure was terrible, and when I went in, the manager Holly argued with me that no such older woman even worked there. She told me my nails looked fine and offered no resolution. If you want inconsistent service and poor treatment, go here! Good luck Read Less

I write this with a sad heart... I used to love coming here - their prices couldn't be beat. (Up until today) I have never had a service I was disappointed with. They were my go-to when I needed to quickly get my nails done... Well! That all changed today :'(Full Disclosure - I'm very picky about how things are done when it comes to beauty services, in general. This is for several reasons: 1) I like to look good (duh), 2) I know what I want, and 3) my mother owns a day spa and salon, so I'm well-versed in the "right way" and the "wrong way" to do things. Also, I am no stranger to shellac. I'm a long-time fan and love it so much that I have my own professional UV light and array of shellac polishes. The person doing my nails started okay, but I noticed halfway through the second coat that there was polish all over my skin and that it was very inconsistent and applied too thick. I asked her if she could make sure there wasn't anything on my skin and it seemed like she was taking care of it. By the end of the third coat, it was completely sloppy. I asked her to please fix all of the polish on my skin and she whipped out her nail trimmers to cut my skin off. Just so we're clear - I understand that there is only so much you can do once shellac sets. That said, I don't think it's rocket science to get it on right the first time, or to at least take care of it if it gets on the skin... I mean, I can manage to shellac my own nails and I don't get anything on my skin. I don't like doing shellac on myself during the week because it takes so long to do my nails... Usually an hour (if only I had a third hand).When I told her I didn't want my skin cut off (because seriously... I'd prefer not to have a hack job of a hand), she said that she would soak it off. I appreciate the offer, but at this point we were already nearing 1 hour and 15 minutes... That's 75 minutes for SHELLAC. I explained that I couldn't wait around for them to soak it all off and reapply it. I had to get back to work. She called over the other nail technician who picked up the nail trimmers so she could cut off my skin too. I told them again that I didn't want my skin cut off. They said, "Oh you just don't like the color." No, I loved the color (I own the same bottle at home). Then they said, "You're skin is too oily. You got the oil all over your nails." Thanks for noticing how oily my skin is... I washed my hands before she applied the nail polish... Also, I didn't realize my oily skin was the reason she got the polish all over my skin. Finally, the other nail tech asked if I could come in tonight to have them redone. I told her that I could not and that I chose the time (and made an appointment) because it was literally the only time I was available all week. Finally I asked her to just apply the top coat and that I would not be paying for the service.When she was done (and got some of the paint off my toes from my pedicure), I went to the counter to pay for my pedicure. The man ringing me out asked if he could see my nails. First he told me that they looked fine, and when I pointed out all of the top coat and nail polish all over my skin, he said that it was my fault because my nails and cuticles were too short. I explained to him that I was there last week and hadn't touched my nails since (they were actually longer this time). I also explained to him that his nail tech had completely cut off all of my cuticles when she was prepping my nails and that my hands were fine before I came in. When I told him I was only going to be paying for my pedicure, he started screaming at me and told me that he was going to call the cops because I was stealing his nail polish. I welcomed him to call the cops because paying anything for that would be robbery because they certainly did no service to me. Read Less

This place is the worst nail salon I have ever gone to in my life. The staff is very unprofessional and they do not have a clue as to what they are doing. I get a gel manicure every two weeks from Bliss Nails in New Britain and every time i come in they wrap my nails in foil and put them under a light to get the gel polish off. At L.A. Nails in Plainville, they went at my nails with a high powered drill making them paper thin and super sensitive to the touch. After they did this, they soaked my nails in a little Tupperware that was black rimmed with dirt and grime... completely disgusting. Then they applied a quick, single coat of polish (and did a very sloppy french manicure) and sent me on my way. Three days later, my gel manicure is peeling, my nails are breaking and they are still very sensitive. At my normal nail place, I can go every two weeks and have the polish be completely intact the entire time. I didn't go to my regular nail place because they are always so busy, but now I see why. Bliss Nails is right down the road and much cleaner, more professional and take their time by doing multiple coats and ensuring a perfect manicure. I will never go to L.A. Nails again and honestly believe they should be investigated by the health inspector for their unsanitary practices. I have never written a review about any business before, but this place is DISGUSTING! Read Less

First he told me that they looked fine, and when I pointed out all of the top coat and nail polish all over my skin, he said that it was my fault because my nails and cuticles were too short. I explained to him that I was there last week and hadn't touched my nails since (they were actually longer this time). I also explained to him that his nail tech had completely cut off all of my cuticles when she was prepping my nails and that my hands were fine before I came in. When I told him I was only going to be paying for my pedicure, he started screaming at me and told me that he was going to call the cops because I was stealing his nail polish. I welcomed him to call the cops because paying anything for that would be robbery because they certainly did no service to me. Read Less

This place is the worst nail salon I have ever gone to in my life. The staff is very unprofessional and they do not have a clue as to what they are doing. I get a gel manicure every two weeks from Bliss Nails in New Britain and every time i come in they wrap my nails in foil and put them under a light to get the gel polish off. At L.A. Nails in Plainville, they went at my nails with a high powered drill making them paper thin and super sensitive to the touch. After they did this, they soaked my nails in a little Tupperware that was black rimmed with dirt and grime... completely disgusting. Then they applied a quick, single coat of polish (and did a very sloppy french manicure) and sent me on my way. Three days later, my gel manicure is peeling, my nails are breaking and they are still very sensitive. At my normal nail place, I can go every two weeks and have the polish be completely intact the entire time. I didn't go to my regular nail place because they are always so busy, but now I see why. Bliss Nails is right down the road and much cleaner, more professional and take their time by doing multiple coats and ensuring a perfect manicure. I will never go to L.A. Nails again and honestly believe they should be investigated by the health inspector for their unsanitary practices. I have never written a review about any business before, but this place is DISGUSTING! Read Less
