Charming Orchid Nail & Spa

Clean and will go back for a plain mani/​pedi, but will bring my own polish.
Nails chipped after 1 day and nail art requested was awful. Wanted to copy cupcake design found on their Unilocal page but they had no clue. I’m thinking most of these photos were found online and posted by the salon.

Was recommended with reservations. Got the man. He raced through my pedicure, literally took a total of 20 minutes from sitting down to paying. About 5 seconds on bottom of foot scrub. I got there behind two women who were getting pedicures by the two women ~ the man working on me was done before them! Do NOT waste your time.

Okay, so I used to be a regular to this place. I came every 2 weeks for a gel manicure and occasionally a pedicure. The women who work there are great, very friendly and very polite. However, there is one man and he is the reason I will no longer be going there. He’s a tall, slim man, he looks like he either manages or owns the place. He’s always there, and somehow I always got him. Every single time I get him he is always rude, like him doing my nails is a bother. Now me being 5 months pregnant he gives the ROUGHEST massages (on purpose I feel like) and is just plain nasty. No smiles, nothing. This place is such a good place but this man ruined it for me. I don’t think I’ll be coming here ever again thanks to him.

I’ve came here a lot of times for a simple gel color manicure. Although I’ve gotten my first ever UV gel nail set and gel french manicure here. The precision of detail truly amazed me. It lasted me a good 4 weeks, which is the moment where my nails grew out so much, I Had to go again of course! Truly recommend to come get your nails done here. Fair prices for great service.

Listen… i used to get my nails done ALL the time… for years! so yes, it had been a while, HOWEVER technique and pre scion should always be a strong factor when ur nails are getting done, the one tech that did my nails messed up my design, a simple design 3 times then the final time got mad ay ME and said i didn’t let it dry meanwhile when i asked the manager (man) that was there to fix my nails, that i didn’t want her to mess them up again, he got mad at her because she used reg. nail polish instead of gel, which naturally drips when u have a top coat… look the nails ended up coming out nice, but the time and EFFORT… NAH ill go somewhere else. thanks

They’re an okay salon. Very clean but the only reason I go here is because it’s literally right up the block from me and I’m too lazy to go anywhere else. With that being said I know I don’t really have the right to make any comments but it’s a hit or miss when my nails are done. Sometimes they’ll be perfect and other times they paint so far away from the cuticle, my «newly» done nails look like they’ve grown out over the last two weeks. We’ll see… if they don’t do a better job the next time or two I’ll probably be switching to another salon.

This place gets an A for hygiene! For pedicures they use a plastic filter bag in the «tub», and change it with every new customer. It Seems as though they use fresh/​new nail tools with every customer as well, because they open up a sealed sterile packet of them each time. It’s also my new spot to get gel polish and it’s close to home! …Clean, and efficient!

Absolutely love this nail salon! I visit my family on Long Island 1 – 2 times a week, and I always make sure to cut that time short by getting my nails done at this wonderfully relaxing salon. (Totally kidding, love my family) The service here is fantastic, the staff is professional, thorough, and they do a great job in general. Sometimes, I feel at other nail salons the staff are judgmental and rude, that has never been the case here. Everything is clean and sanitary, I always feel safe getting my nails done. I always feel super relaxed when I’m here. I love the 10 minute massages, they always get every knot out and sometimes even go over the allotted time to make sure every knot gets out! I love the options for pedicures too, you definitely get your back for your buck when you choose a pedicure package. Sometimes salons will advertise something like, «soothing aloe pedicure» which is double the price of a regular pedicure, but not that much different. That is not the case here! All of the pedicures are great, but you can definitely tell that the packages higher up from the regular pedicure are worth the price. The attention to detail is unbelievably, incredibly, good!
My only complaint is the price. I feel that this is one of the more expensive nail salons in the area. A french fill-​in with two special designs and standard pedicure cost me $ 56.00 recently without tip, seems very over priced. Considering I usually come here once every two weeks, I don’t mind splurging I guess.

It is so hard to find a good nail spot. I have been to many on Long Island. So today I figured let’s give this place a try. One of the best decisions I’ve made ! Everyone hear is so nice and friendly, the place is meticulous, so many color choices and the the prices are great! I am always tensed at nail salons cause I have ocd and every other place always does what I don’t want. I was completely relaxed here and they took their time. They made sure my nails were perfect and I never had to complain. This will be my go to spot for now on ! This place is AMAZINGGGGGG !! They have specials MON — THURS mani pedis are $ 20 and so are reg gel manicures. Otherwise they’re $ 26 which is still great. No need to look further for a great nail salon. This is def the go to spot !

The new owners here are so nice! I just got an amazing and very relaxing mani/​pedi. I will be a regular here 100%.

Wonderful place! Everyone there is very friendly. The atmosphere is calming. They place very soothing classical music as they work. Clean and nice looking place!

I’ve been to many nail salons all over New York and New Jersey and this is by far my favorite. Very clean and very quiet with nice piano music playing. It’s never crowded either! No TVs blasting and kids running around. The bathroom and waxing room are always spotless. The staff is very polite and friendly and they have tons of color choices. A standard pedi comes with a scrub and they use hot towels for manis and pedis. Not bad for a $ 20 mani/​pedi! They have little slots for the customers too, where they keep your color and tools so you know no one else is using your tools! Phoebe is the best there, request her. Also, the pizza place and the deli that are also in the strip mall are amazing as well! My mom and I always grab a slice after our biweekly mani/​pedi :-)

Love this place! Always welcoming and mon-​thurs a gel manicure is $ 19! It it kept very clean and all employees are friendly!

There is a new owner. They are much mor3 friendlier! They also renovated the whole place. It looks quite pleasant. The service attitude also improv3d from the previous owner. I will definitely be back.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

I just moved to Islip Terrace about a month ago from Brooklyn, and have been missing my nail salon. I decided to try out the place down the street, hoping it would be my place. The first thing I noticed was how clean the salon was. The staff was friendly and there was a large selection of colors. I got a spa pedicure, gel manicure and a massage. The prices were affordable and everything was perfect! I am happy that I finally found my happy place! Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.
