Tulip Nail & Spa

My first gel manicure from here was pretty good, no complaints other than the $ 35 price. However, upon my second gel manicure, I was very disappointed. The woman who did my nails was pretty rude and chastised me for picking black as a polish color. She also asked strange questions and was rude. She seemed to be rushing and while cutting my cuticles. She CUT me and I began to bleed. She cursed and grabbed this little blue bottle of liquid and applied it to my cut with a cotton swab. I cannot explain how much it BURNED. I was clearly upset but she did not apologize or even acknowledge the mistake. She applied the gel and as I was curing the polish in the machine she abruptly got up to wax someone’s eyebrows. That was the last I saw of her. No goodbye. Another lady (I believe she was the manager) came by and finished my manicure in a very rushed and annoyed fashion. I gave her $ 40 and told her to keep the change and left. My cuticle still has a nasty scab over a week later. I will not be returning even though the location is ideal for me.

Best nail spa on tulip ave.
They are friendly but not overly chatty.
The best thing about them is their cleanliness, they use sterile disposable files and buffers. I watch them put all the equipment under the u. v light and before they use any utensils on you they wipe them down with alcohol wipes.
They do a great job cutting my cuticles without being overly aggressive. I will surely be a regular

I have to say, I am hard to please. No, really. For this place to get 4 stars, it’s really saying something. The only reason it’s not 5 is because it’s not upscale and I’ve been to those, those are a pretty penny for a 5!
I tried a few places down the block, I was not happy. They’re experienced at Tulip and know what to recommend if you need it (not just to increase prices, the result is worth it ie. the hot wax pedicure treatment leaves you with baby soft feet). They’re also clean and the owner is amicable and remembers you.
They give you 50 cents in quarters for the meter at the front of the store for your convenience… C’mon! You know some stores in NYC won’t let you buy something if you’re missing a quarter, a dime, a nickel!
They have the extra lasting polish for an additional $ 2, not $ 5 like down the block.
This place rocks my socks. Thank you.

Just awful. After a super delayed trip home on LIRR I was not going to make it to my normal salon before it closed so I figured why not? Pedicure lasted a total of 4 minutes. No cut cuticles, no scrubbing, my toe nails weren’t even cleaned. I asked if she was going to cut them and she said she already did. At this point I got up to leave and paid her the $ 15 for «services» she performed. I then raced to my normal salon to have a real manicure and pedicure.
Go somewhere else, these places are a dime a dozen but when you’re paying for a service you should get it.

My friend and I stumbled upon this place after having lunch from across the street. The décor was nice and welcoming. The staff is friendly. They even offer free parking by providing their clients with quarters for the meter. I had a gel manicure done. $ 25 is not bad. Pretty average. Susan, the lady who did my nails, was quick but experienced. No mistakes. The complimentary mini back massage was great also. Susan told me that this nail salon has been through many owners. This place is so new that their store sign still reflects the previous store’s name. I will definitely go back and get more manicures and some pedicures.
