As a loyal customer to this nail salon, I will say that the staff has always been wonderfully friendly. However, I think it is time for me to find a new nail salon.First of all, the place is always busy. Which is a great thing for them, but not so good when you make an appointment, and still have to wait 30+ minutes to be taken care of, only for your appointment to be rushed through. Another thing I don't appreciate is the extra few dollars they find a way to slip onto the bill. If they offer you something, make sure you ask if it will cost extra, because most likely it will, but they will not warn you beforehand. This salon does a lot of things right, but unfortunately the things that they do wrong will prevent me from returning in the future. Read Less

They are very busy probably because they have been there a long time. But their service and skills are not impressive at all. I felt being rushed the entire time. My nails chipped after three days for my first visit. The second time I went back they cut me bleeding. The workers there are miserable. I feel sad for them. Read Less

Every time I came here I would go home with cuts all over my fingers and hands. They file your skin more than your nails. I would come every month for acrylic tips, one month they told me they didn't do them anymore. They RUINED my eyebrows every single time. Worst nail salon I've ever been too. Changed salons and never went back. Read Less

We came here because our usual place was closed. People have said that this place is very good, but I don't think so. I had my nails painted blue, and since they didn't offer and matte polishes, I got a matte topcoat. I was not informed that it would be more expensive, and most places don't charge extra. They also put quick-dry on, which I did not ask for. I will certainly not be coming back here. Read Less

Went there today with my daughter. Had high hopes based on the good reviews.  Unfortunately our experience didn't live up to them. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Manicure and pedicure was like most, nothing special and included a quick shoulder massage at the end.  We were both offered a quick dry coat after being under the drier for a few minutes.  A couple of minutes after she applied it, she said we were good to go. I was wary but took her word for it. When I got the bill, I was surprised that my daughters simple manicure was more than the advertised price.  When I asked, I was told they charged extra because she asked for a matte top coat. Really?  We were both also charged extra for the quick dry, though we were never told there would be an extra charge for it (other salons I've been to don't charge). I got home and discovered that my big toe had smudged badly. When I called to complain, I was told the quick dry doesn't mean it's dry... So then what's the point?  Thankfully there are two other nail salons steps away. I guess I'll try one of them next time. Read Less

Found this place on Yelp and decided to try it since it's close to my home. I was 1 of 3 customers that walked in as soon as they opened on Sunday. They took care of us right away and were very friendly and attentive. I got a pedicure and a gel manicure. I absolutely love my nails!! I think that they are reasonably priced and they work well and fast. I'd definitely recommend this nail salon and I'm looking forward to coming back in 2 weeks. Read Less

They always do your nails perfectly.  I usually go for the special ones - permanent french, uv gel, other ones besides just a mani & pedi.  They do a great job with the pedicures.  They do a great job with designs for little girls, my daughters always leave happy with flowers.Price wise, reasonable for the work they put in Read Less

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! Unless you are a resident of floral park and besties with the nail artists. My boyfriend lives in the neighborhood and I needed a pedicure badly. The reviews on Yelp said this was the best place in town so I gave it a shot. I was told the wait was 20 minutes but instead it took almost an hour. The locals were prioritized over new guests and to top it all off, my nails were messed up. They put a top coat on my wet French and I didn't notice the white steaks until I got home. Total waste of money. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! Read Less

I just moved here. I really think this is the best nail salon on tulip. Michelle is amazing with my gel pedis . Also I got a French gel mani here and they did a great job. Last long and great service . They are friendly indeed !Read Less

After being laughed at and turned down from the other two nail salons on Tulip Ave on a Saturday afternoon, I walked into Friendly Nails expecting the same. Instead they told me to pick a color and I was so relieved!  I just wanted a regular manicure but the lady talked me into a gel manicure with a design. She spoke English very well. She didn't rush at all and did a very thorough job. It was $25 for a gel manicure which is reasonable compared to the $35 I paid down the street. I will definitely go back in two weeks. Nothing but good things to say about my experience here. Ask for Lee when you go, she is great!! Read Less

I have no idea why this place doesn't have 4 or 5 stars. The staff is ridiculously nice and genuine. My mother and I go here every time we are in town visiting family and they always do a bang-up job. The prices are crazy reasonable and even the $8 regular mani comes with a massage. The last visit, my mom switched to a gel mani and when it bubbled, they took her back to fix it right away. If you are bothered by other languages being spoken, get over it, smile and get a great mani. Read Less

I've been to many nail salons and have requested many different services from each. I have mixed emotions about this place. I felt a little uncomfortable with the nail techs. They didn't seem honestly "friendly". They seemed mostly confused by me and rushed me into making decisions. They suggested I do things I didn't need and were very aggressive about it. A guy did my pedicure and it lasted about 7 minutes. On top of the quick pace, he didn't do anything to my feet aside from remove my old polish and apply new polish. At one point during my tip application, the lady was cutting my nails and shouted at me to "SAY SOMETHING!" She hadn't spoken to me so what did she want me to say? Also, I don't go to a salon to chat, I go to relax. This was my first experience at this salon because I needed to try somewhere new and honestly, my tips turned out nice, but I was not comfortable and felt belittled and taken advantage of. It was quite expensive as well. To top it all off, I told the lady doing my tips that I wanted acrylic (three times) and she used gel, which I didn't want but once it was started, I didn't want to cause a scene. Point is, I won't be going back there. Read Less

This nail salon isn't my favorite for many reasons. The only nice thing about Friendly's is that they have a friendly staff. They know my sisters and I by name. The service is terrible. They also leave you in your chair to talk to their coworkers in a different language! I know that English is a tough language and their all immigrants from China and Korea but it would be better for customers if they spoke English. They also charged me extra money for design and nails cut. I didn't even ask for a design and cut nails. They were way too short and hurt a lot!! Read Less

Should not be called Friendly nails! A lot of my students give me gift certificates to this salon but I feel everytime I go here all eyes are on me in a negative way. There is a guy who works here that just stares at me, it makes me very uncomfortable. The positive is they greet all there regular customers by name which I don't see at my regular nail salon. It seems like if your a new customer or not a regular here your treated not as nice which is strange because wouldn't they want to be nice to new costumers? Read Less

Horrible salon. I've been there a couple of times because the location is convenient to where I live. The manicures never last more than a day or so because they use cheap products. I went over xmas time and they rushed me so much that the women clipped part of my cuticle and it was not only painful but i was bleeding alot! I recently went with my sister, her manicure was horrible. For my manicure, the owner did it and it wasn't until I went home that i realized she didn't put a clear coat on top and it was some kind of jelly substance??? who does that?? If i had the time I would have gone back and demanded a refund but it's not worth it. And all the technicians do is talk to each other in another language the whole time. So rude! This is America, talk English!! DON'T go here unless you want a bad manicure and to get ripped off!!! Read Less

Nice enough place for a manicure. I'm not sure I would go back for a another pedicure though because the leg massaging is nonexistant unless you pay extra (when they ask you if you want a massage and don't mention the $10 charge).  They didn't even ask me, so I got the weak version. The woman next to me got the pricier one. Also all the pedicure chairs are broken in exciting and scary ways but they don't tell you that. I thought I was going to need the jaws of life to get me out. Read Less
