Rebekah’s Nail & Spa

The staff is amazing. The place is always clean and they provide satisfactory services

I am surprised there are not better reviews for this place. I hadn’t been there in a long time, but went on a Monday afternoon for a mani-​pedi (with an appointment so I could get the person I wanted (Cindy)-fortunately she still works there). I arrived 20 minutes early, but was taken right away (again not having to wait for 30 minutes past my appointment time like at the other «new» place I had gone to. This salon is very large and spacious, with many desks for manicures, many stations for pedicures and private rooms for massages, waxing and such. I felt it was very clean. I had a sterile pack of instruments, unlike the «new» place I tried before. There were several workers there, unlike the one person shop (on a weekday) I went to before,
After a few minutes, Cindy remembered me, and we were chatting like old friends. She cut my toenails — she asked if I wanted them short or not– and soaked and washed my feet (aaaah!) and worked off my calluses. She put lotion on my feet and legs and painted my toes nicely. She wrapped and separated my toes and put on the paper slippers. She carried my things over to the fingernail station and escorted me there. At times she did chat with a co-​worker in Korean (I believe some people objected to that in their posts) but don’t you speak to co-​workers at times while at work? I was not offended at all. She cut and prepped my fingernails and asked for payment before she put on the polish to avoid smearing. Since it was on a Monday, there was a discount price for the mani-​pedi of $ 23! Quite reasonable, I think. I asked if she had time to do a lip and chin wax as well, which she did, doing it at the drying station so i didn’t have to move (I didn’t need privacy and it was easier for me). Zip-​zip-​and-​rip and it was done.
When my nails were dry, she took off the paper slippers and wrapping and put on my flip-​flops for me (I figured that was better than putting on socks and sneakers so soon after getting polished-​a little awkward, as there was still snow on the ground!) and escorted me to the parking lot. I couldn’t have a more comfortable and pleasant visit. I cannot speak about the other workers or the management, as I didn’t have any problems, and the «boss» came in as I was «drying» and smiled at me. I will definitely be back, with an appointment. I feel that helps avoid the problems a walk-​in might have, and I am assured of getting the person I want to take care of me.

This review is only for eyebrow waxing! I’ve been coming here for a few years now and I always ask for Cindy. She’s the sweetest lady ever and she knows how to do my eyebrows very well. So I would recommend her for eyebrow waxing!

I came today after a long & stressful day at work. & I have been coming on & off for years for special occasions etc. As i walked in they asked what i wanted & i replied with «a manicure». One woman looked around and asked the other girls there could do it and one replied with «i just finished one» and the other nodded no, so the woman who questioned ended up taking me, she seemed nice but you could tell she didn’t want to do a thing so she started my nails, filed them and ended up making the edges jagged which they weren’t when i walked in because i do nails on the side and honestly just wanted to have mine done for a change so i usually cut my own cuticles & file my nails before i go to a salon to have them painted. then the painting started and she started the paint so far from the cuticle that it looked like it had been growing out for a week already so i asked her to fix it, so she painted ONTO my cuticles in order to make me «happy» which just infuriated me even more. she ended up putting 3 coats of paint on my nails and they just look awful and feel jagged so now i have to do them on my own which is what i wanted to avoid doing. never have MINA do your nails, she does NOT do a good job at ALL! there is paint all over my fingers and cuticles and it looks AWFUL! NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN!

This review is based solely on pricing. I walked in early on a weekday morning when the place was empty and asked how much a mani cost. I was quoted $ 10 ($ 2.00 more than most places, but o.k.). Then I asked how much more for the Vyn deluxe polish, which is supposed to last a week and was quoted $ 5.00! Every other salon I have been to in the area charges $ 1 – 2 more. This place is a rip off. I left and headed to Oscar Nails 2 where for $ 20 I got a great mani & pedi! With all the other bad reviews these folks have and the price gouging I am not sure how they are still open.

This is the worst experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been getting my nails done for 10+ years. I paid $ 50 for a new set and gel mani, only to have 3 nails chip and break within 3 days. Went back and fixed them, was basically asked for a tip since I wasn’t charged, and same nails broke again 2 days later.

Sad the way I was treated there or shoul I say ignored on more than one occasion
Just today I went for a mNi-​pedi I was asked to come back in an hour
I did go back and I was treated like they never saw me before
Outrageous customer service
Never again!

I have been coming to Rebekah’s for close to 10 years now. I have live on the area and it is so convenient to have this place so close. My favorite is Esther she is just fabulous and rocks at her job. I feel that the majority of subpar reviews are typical of people in this neighborhood. They expect the world and complain about everything. I have on so many occasions been willing to work with the staff and comeback when thier not busy. They are such wonderful people who are good at what they do and they work so dam hard. I can’t see myself going anywhere else. Yea thier a little expensive but let’s get real you live in bayside it comes with the zip code. And frankly I don’t mind to pay for good service.

Worst place ever! It’s so sad, I live right on bell and I came at 7 o clock (an hour before closing) to have a regular manicure done. The lady rushed through cutting my cuticles and cut my nails too low. After painting my nails I realized that the nail polish was going over my skin and when I asked for her to fix it, all she said was «that’s how it’s suppose to be.» WHAT??? My sister, who is 6 years old, paints better than that.
What bothers me the most, is that I paid before she started painting my nails and I gave her a good tip. So I don’t understand why she would feel the need to rush and not do a good job. Keep in mind that there were no other customers.

I recently left Cosmo in Great Neck to come back to Rebekah in Bayside. My first time back was great, but my last two visits, very disappointing. Yesterday, my toenail was cut so short and then the manicurist was actually filing my skin! Then, I proceeded to get a manicure and was left with pieces of the cotton under the polish. I had to remind the manicurist to soak my nails (last time she didn’t) Perhaps it’s just this particular person. I know Sunny always does a thorough job.

I would’ve given this place 4 stars if I didn’t have such a bad experience with the manager. The place is super clean, but pricey. I was given a «Spa Wellness Gift Card» and called beforehand to confirm that I can use it. The employee on the phone told me that I would be able to use the specified gift card and that it wouldn’t be a problem. The lady did a great job on my nails, but when it came time to pay and I presented the gift card, the manager guy came out of nowhere, harassing me saying that the gift card was «garbage and trash» to him, and that I wouldn’t be able to use it. He saw my debit card and automatically said «we can put the $ 47 on your debit card, let’s just do that» and proceeded to take my card without my permission and I had to snatch it out of his hands. I told them to either take the nails off or paint them, but that I wasn’t going to pay. After 3 minutes of him trying to bicker with me, he finally agreed to not charge me. Quite a shame because I would’ve came back to this place, but not now.
I think that they could’ve improved in the sense of communication with their customers because how can an employee tell me that they accept the gift card and then when I go to pay with it, all Hell breaks loose? I don’t even think I let my nails dry that long under the UV light because I just couldn’t wait to storm out. Not only was it a humiliating experience, but all of the nail technicians were giving me weird looks the whole time afterwards. Never again.

I can’t imagine why this nail salon has gotten such terrible reviews. I have been a customer here for 4 years and all my visits have exceeded my expectations. Yes, when it is busy, it can seem a bit hectic but the manager and the owners do the best they can to accommodate everyone.
The staff at Rebekah’s always makes sure to keep the salon clean: they are always mopping or sweeping the floors and cleaning their manicure stations. On every occasion, I’ve witnessed the staff scrubbing the pedicure chairs as soon as they are done giving a pedicure. And the general aura of the salon is spacious and relaxing.
I have gotten manis/​pedis from quite of few of the ladies here over the years and while they all seem to be good at different jobs, I would recommend Cindy since she is the most «well-​rounded.» She is an eyebrow guru and does really nice work on manis/​pedis.
Overall, the extra few dollars you would spend here is worth it because you are getting great service in a beautiful space.

I’ve been to Rebekah’s nails several times now (for mani pedis) and have only good things to say about my experience. The technicians are very sweet and do a great job prepping and painting my nails. I get gel and regular manicures pretty often, and they’re always impeccable here. I’ve been to a lot of nail salons in Queens and the city, and this one is a favorite of mine– for the experience and the prices.
Not sure why someone complained that it was dirty here. I like the décor and it’s always super clean. There’s free parking in the back too, which is huge for me because i hate finding street parking!
If you live in Queens (especially near Bayside and Queens), you should really check out this place.

I have been a customer of Rebekah’s for years and years. I have been to many nail places in my life, and this one is by far the best I’ve ever had. I’m willing to pay a little extra to get quality work in a clean environment. I’ve had waxing, mani/​pedis, acrylics, UV Gel, massages… I was satisfied with all of them. Everyone is very friendly. I’ve read some of the bad reviews and I am left scratching my head. I recommend this salon to anyone who will listen!

I wish you could give no stars. I came here today of trying some place new. My technician couldn’t do a simple glitter design She had an issue doing any design whatsoever she always had a complaint
My friend had to end up doing the glitter design at the salon and I was still charged for something that they didn’t do themselves. They didn’t even give us a chance to dry our nails., they couldn’t get us out of there fast enough. All in all I was not satisfied I will not be returning here

I’ve been here two times since I live nearby. Their gel manicures are decent, nothing amazing since I’ve been to quite a number of salons and always like to switch it up. I must say that they do a pretty lousy job with pedicures, or maybe they just don’t put enough effort. It was sloppy and not clean. If I wanted that, I would’ve painted it myself. This is a very elegantly looking salon, but I just feel the lack of effort.
Update–
I’ve been back here a couple of times for gel manicures since they weren’t bad, and which each visit, they have improved. The wait is usually short and there is always a reasonable amount of manicurists working.

Very appealing to the eye BUT their instruments are a complete disaster. They place their tools in «sterilized» bags to make it seem as if they have been processed but, they haven’t. In fact when I went for a manicure they used the same tools without cleaning them at all and place it in the sterilized bag. I was able to tell because I am in the medical field and once the bag has been processed in the steam there is an indication where the bag turns black and all of their bags were pink. I am very big on clean instruments and this place did not cut it for me. Pleasant environment but if your stuff isn’t clean it doesn’t work for me. Won’t be going back. Price is a little too much considering there is cheaper in the area.

I always have mixed opinions about this nail salon.
I hardly ever get the same person doing my nails — it seems as they all have skills in one area or another, and they trade off doing various jobs… maybe each person who has the best skills in one area should just stick to that alone.
Mani/​Pedi is a little expensive compared to the other surrounding salons
If you don’t call ahead to tell them you are coming, or make a reservation you can be waiting a long time
I once went in while no one was in there and had to wait at least 10 minutes to get my eye brows done… i just left because I couldn’t wait any longer… especially seeing no one else was there!

Booked this place for a 1PM appointment on Saturday *FOR MOTHER’S DAY* in advance because my mother likes the pedi chairs. We get there on time and not only have to wait for 20 mins but also they try to take us one at a time between a bridal party.
We argue with some people about moving us around so we can share the time together and then everyone was upset. They do a mediocre job at mani /​pedis for the cost of 30 bucks.
It was nice how they had fresh cookies and coffee for Mother’s Day but it would have been much nicer if they actually helped their customers properly and on time.

I’ve been in here a few times… I never had a regular go-​to manicurist here. They range in skill level, so sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t.
For mani & pedi, the price you pay. is not really worth it unless it’s some sort of promo (think, under $ 17 for both would be worth it). I’ve had acrylic fill ins done here too, and MEHHHHHHH overpriced, and it wasn’t all that spectacular. Pedicures are pretty nice here though, luxurious.
It’s a very pretty salon though, really big and all that. but I rather find a smaller place for cheaper. I suppose for a special occasion, I may come here.
I like their other brand on 188^st and 73^rd for just a plain old manicure.
