Wonder Nail & Spa

I got a manicure there and it was awful. When the guy was pushing my cuticles back it started to sting, and after he had me wash my hands I sat back down and noticed that my pinky was stinging even worse than before. He had made it bleed, and I told him I didn’t think I wanted polish on that finger with a cut on it. I said it twice and he just said «it’s okay,» patted it down, and put nail polish on it anyway. Then he kept saying «don’t move, stop moving!» and I barely had moved my fingers at all. He brought me over to the table for my nails to dry and he «massaged» my shoulders by basically just hitting my back, which pulled my hair.
It was a really bad experience and I will never go there again. I had to come home and put Neosporin and a band-​aid on my finger.

I have been here 3 times for the happy feet massage and every time it was great. It’s a 45 minute massage while your feet soak. It’s also a great price. I would definitely recommend this service.
This last time we got pedicures as well-​which were ok-​definitely not the best pedicure I’ve had.
But I will go back for the happy feet massage.

I came here the other night for a full set and I wanted short, natural looking nails. The nail tech was really rough on my hands and gave me honestly the one of the ugliest sets ever. I said natural but he packed on about half an inch of acrylic and now my nails look so thick and fake. To top it off, he didn’t shape them the way I wanted to. Sharp square nails do not look natural. I probably won’t return here ever to get my nails done.

What happened to this place? Went during the holidays with a group and had a great experience. Went in this week & had the worst mani pedi EVER!!! My French polish was lumpy & uneven and was chipping 2 days later. I will not return and recommend you stay away too!

I went here tonight with my cousin to get the ANC manicure and we both have complaints about this place. The girl I had did a HORRIBLE job with my cuticles! She ended up cutting me sooo bad that it took three people to make it stop bleeding! Then for my cousin’s nails, the top coat took forever to dry and didn’t set well, so the color was already fading looking. The price that they charge definitely isn’t worth the money. I thought that trying a new place would be good and I had a coupon too… But that was the worse decision ever. I would not suggest going to this place.

Steven did my manicure. While I appreciated his initial attention to detail (asking what shape I wanted, and letting me check after he shaped the first nail), I cannot endorse this salon; he left me with multiple cuts, and no apologies. I could tell as he was clipping my cuticles that something was off – I should have said something, I know – because he was digging more into my skin than I’m used to. As a result, three of my cuticles emerged bleeding. He dabbed some blue astringent on and continued working, including painting right over my blood. My cuticles were – and remain, hours later – in pain, and I’m concerned about the risk of infection as I didn’t see much evidence of cleanliness. I encourage them as a staff to pay more attention to hygiene and cleanliness.

Will absolutely never come here again… I got the foot massage and it was nasty… Way too much oil and all they did was out plastic gloves on and lightly rub everywhere. At not one point did it feel good!!!

I usually love this place, I went tonight at 8pm (they close at 9:30pm). I sat for 10 minutes, the only customer in there and NO ONE spoke to me. NO ONE asked me anything. I left disgusted!

For a nail salon… this place covers it all. You really can’t go wrong, I mean the happy feet massage for $ 20. It’s a 45 min massage and does wayyyy more than just your feet. These guys have a good operation going. I highly recommend them for a day of pampering without breaking the bank. No it’s not a real spa, but it gets the job done when you just want to do a little something for yourself.

Happy foot massage costs $ 20 and you get a full of 40 mins massage. They get you feet socked into tea water and it feels great!

I’ve been going here to get my nails done for over 2 years. It is out of the way for me, but their pedicures were always worth it. The last few times have not been as good and today was my final visit. I had a pedicure and gel manicure done and I bled from both!
«Amy» did my pedicure and she cut my toe. She didn’t say a word about it. I told her it was bleeding and she put some alcohol on it and kept going. Can you say ow? Then «Steven» did my gel manicure. He managed to cut my cuticle on my thumb and that bled too! Same deal — alcohol and no apology!
I’ve been getting my nails done for 25 years and I think I’ve been cut two other times — years apart rather than minutes apart! Those times the person apologized, felt bad and tried to fix it. Not so today.
Not only did they ignore my bleeding but they didn’t want to honor their own frequent visitor card! So two cuts, no proper attention and refusal to honor their own discount mean I need a new nail salon! I guess they have gotten too big to care. Since there are salons every half mile, it shouldn’t be hard to find another one. Definitely recommend that others go elsewhere too.

I will never return. I went there to get a full set of pink and white nails and they didn’t know how to do it. I was sent to THREE different people for them to screw or up further and the third guy threw a TANTRUM and walked out of the shop. Two hours later I told them to give up and remove their horrible work and I left without paying a dime. They should be ashamed. If you don’t know how to do something take it of you menu!

Love this place! For $ 19 plus a tip they offer «happy feet» where they soak your feet in a hot tea bath for 45 minutes while they massage your head, shoulders, arms, Hands, legs, and feet. It’s very relaxing! I’ve also gotten a full body massage here for $ 70 which was unbelievably. Very clean. There also are always coupons in clipper magazine.

Not really sure what to rate this place. I was in Albany for work and decided to try them. Perhaps my expectations are too high from my favorite salon back home!
Service was fast. I had shellac nails done in less than a half hour.
Cost was $ 30. About the same as back home.
Quality of service. Well they didn’t soak my nails or cuticles when they trimmed them. That’s a tad uncomfortable for me. She cut one cuticle. Yes there was blood. No cuticle softener. She used a dremel tool on my nail bed. Just slightly but not so sure I like that. Part of the reason I like shellac is that it doesn’t damage the nail bed like acrylic. The polish doesn’t go all the way to the edge of the nail either.
I have a feeling it will chip sooner rather than later. Perhaps I will update my review when it does.

I went here with my mom and sister. We didn’t have an appointment but only waited about 10 minutes to get started with our mani-​pedis. The manicurists were very nice and professional, but a bit disorganized. They did mine and my sister’s pedicures right away, but our mom had to wait in the massage chair for half an hour before they got to her, by which point the water was long cold. Then when my sister was getting her nails done and got up for a minute to rinse her hands, another manicurist came by and sat a different customer down in her chair, and she had to wait for another station to become available. All in all we got quality mani-​pedis for $ 37 each, so I guess you get what you pay for.

I’m only visiting Albany for a few weeks, I looked and Unilocaled and Googled nail salons. I went through lists and lists of ratings and reviews. Wonderspa was not on any of the lists. I was driving down Central, saw a sign and stopped in. I needed a pedicure.
The place was clean, neat, the ladies getting work done all seemed happy with their manicures/​nails and pedicures.
I was seated right away, the technician tended to me efficiently. $ 25 for a pedicure is what I pay if I’m in AZ or CA. So, NY is on par.

First time I went it was great…2^nd time was a nightmare… First of all the «10 minute massage that comes with the 25,00 pedicure (which was enough to make me drive there for it) turned into a literally 1.5 minute massage When I asked about it. the guy just laughed and pretended he did not understand me. Then I was charged an extra 5.00 for having to soak off polish on my daughter’s nails when she had removed it herself. They finally agreed to take it off after a whole group of them gathered around me talking in what? Chinese? Vietnamese? and laughing as if I did not know they were talking about me. The straw that broke the camels back was when I gave them my credit card and left them a tip as they leered over my shoulder. One of the woman said «Is that for me» I said Yes, and then she said «what about him»? I got annoyed and retorted if HE wants a tip then next time he shoud give the 10 minute massage that is promised on your ads. Then another yells out what about ME? I said ok well you can split the tip with HER!!! Since when is it ok to question what tip I leave for 3 different people I was just laid off from my job;; had to take another one for almost 30,000.00 less and felt humiliated by the staff. There must have at least been 10 standing around yacking in whatever language they speak all around me while I had to defend myself. When I got home I noticed that my nails were not even, nor was the shellac fully dried; it was still tacky. It is not worth the HAPPY FEET… as I was not a HAPPY customer. I had refered my friends there after the first experience but I guess they lure you in and once you go back their true colors come out.

You know how some places call themselves a «spa» but it’s really a nasty, unsanitary nail place? Welp, that’s not the case here! They really are a spa– everyone is so professional. My mom and I went for mothers day and it was very busy. We waited less than 10 minutes and they were nice enough to make sure we were seated next to eachother (not just placing us at the first avaliable spot). Michael and John did our nails and they were so thorough– we felt like we were being pampered!
Everything in this place is SANITARY which i LOVE! Very clean, very modern, and great price. We paid $ 25 for our predicure when it was worth well over $ 50! I highly recommend… We will be back :)
