Bling Bling Nail

I just moved to BK not too long so finding a quality nail salon has been a journey. Many of my girlfriends have told me they are loyal to this salon. I was skeptical because I’m used to getting my nails done in Union Square, but today I gave it a try. My review in short:
— CLEAN! As busy as they are that salon is very clean as well as the tools (and nail techs)
— Service is quick! I went on Saturday around noon (peak salon time) and I didn’t have to wait. Picked my color and went straight to the pedicure seat.
— Professional. My nail tech, Amy, was very sweet and made sure I was satisfied with my color, shape, everything!
— Affordable-​ish. The basics are affordable. It’s when you upgrade and ask for extra designs that the price starts to hike. Here are the prices I remember:
Polish change $ 8
Gel manicure $ 25
Pedicure $ 15
Spa pedicure $ 21 (comes with an intense foot but necessary scrub session)
Gel pedicure $ 20 – 25, can’t remember which but one of those prices
Matte top coat $ 5
CASH ONLY but they do have an ATM w/​$ 1.75 fee. They do pretty good lashes too! I didn’t get the service but my nail tech had her lashes done there and they were pretty nice!
All in all, I’ll do my like my friends and recommend this nail salon!

This my second time being there. I didn’t like this visit to bling bling. My pedicure was rushed. I didn’t get to enjoy it. My nails were done a bit sloppy. They didn’t have much options for the design that I wanted. Probably wouldn’t go back.

Clean expansive place. They cater to your needs. The manicurists really take time with you making sure that everything is good with your experience there.

I’ve only visited this salon twice and haven’t found a reason to not return. Despite reviewers saying that the salon is expensive… I totally disagree. The higher expenses comes from all the additional add-​ons patrons want on their nails — extra glitter, rhinestones, designs, and gel.
A basic pedicure is $ 15 & a full set is only $ 20. That is pretty standard New York City prices.
The salon has great hygiene practices which I’m very happy to see and staff was friendly, accommodating, and accurate. The manicurist took care of my nails exactly the way I asked.
They take walk ins & appts… No wait time for both visits… Although, I’m sure a time will come when I will have to wait.

I’ve been coming to bling bling for a little over a year now. I am the type to stick with one nail salon but when my old favorite nail salon started slipping I decided to give bling bling a try.
As previous posters have mentioned, they are definitely more expensive then most neighborhood nail salons but for me it’s worth every penny. I have never had a bad experience here. My nails (acrylic) always last the expected two weeks and most times longer. Pedicures here are pretty nice as well. They have a variety of selections which I enjoy. The rose pedal pedicure is a must try.
My favorite technician is May. She is sweet and always gives me exactly what I want, even though she tries to get me to steer away from my usual nude colors and subtle designs.
I also tried TT (?) this weekend after I learned that May had two people waiting. I asked the young lady who was giving me a pedicure to find me a good tech and she suggested TT and I was pleased. She took her time and delivered exactly what I wanted.
Piece of advice… Come early and bring cash!

The 3 stars are for Jenny she’s a very sweet person who is overworked (The owner gets upset when you ask for specific people she thinks everyone is just as good which is a lie!). But this place is a sweat shop the owners are rude and everything is overpriced they charge per stone. I work hard have no problem paying for a service if its worth it. But I refuse to give these ppl my money any more. I use to get up an hour early on weekends to be the first one standing outside on line when they opened at 10 am yet they are always late. This place is a ghetto mess acrylic isn’t good for the nails anyway so I just stopped bothering. Ladies try Barry’s Beauty Bar it has the same ambiance unfortunately but at least its Black owned!

First let me say I love me some ChiChi. Buuuuuuut this place use to be a lot more cheaper and though they do an amazing job I think it’s over priced

This place is a HOT MESS.
I was expecting 80’s ghetto fabulous airbrush acrylic meets modern day UV gel bonanza.
In reality it’s just a sweatshop with 30 women that speak ZERO english cowering under one fat gross guy rushing through their work. I’m pretty sure they get blindfolded and loaded into an SUV after their shifts.
But down to business … I called to see if they were busy and they said they had no one waiting. I asked to make an appointment and they said they don’t take appointments so I just walked over. Unless 15 – 20 people bum rushed the place in the 5 minutes it took me to walk around the corner, they lied.
After a 20 minute wait I was seated and between 3 different manicurists was able to deduce that the price they quoted me on the phone ($ 35) for a basic set of gel extensions with no art was actually $ 80.
I just left.
This place is bullshit.
Their prices are the same if not more than Manhattan boutiques and it’s a dump.
On an ethical note, I’m also not really into the marginal step up from hooker on the human trafficking ladder either.

Customer service sucks. Did my nails, toes, and eye lashes here (Saturday). Nail technician (May) didn’t know what she was doing and when I kept asking her to fix the shape of my nail, she would get upset as if i was bothering her. My eyelashes came off as soon as i got home (hanging completely off). I went back the next day (Sunday) the male salon owner asked me if i took it off instead of just admitting that it was poorly done and apologizing. They do not offer refunds and treat customer so horribly. Bling bling will never see me or my money again. Please dont go there. Save yourself the disappointment and headache.

My coworker recommended this place. I went twice for a full set and a fill-​in. The first time the nail shape was great and what I wanted. But within a week my nails were coming up!! I glued the nail back down and returned for a fill in. The technician cut my cuticles on two fingers! It’s been a week and the nail is coming up again! I refuse to keep wasting money for bad service.

Best pedicure place in the area, you gotta try this out.
Nicole is very nice and patient, make sure u ask for Nicole when you visit this place.

I was referred to Bling Bling by two friends of mine. I first started going in August 2014, before they relocated. The first time I went, the service was impeccable and the quality of my nails was superb. I came back periodically whenever I was in town and was always pleased with the results, but all of that changed when they moved. I came here about 2 weeks ago to get a gel manicure and pedicure. The place looks nice but the staff are not the best. Everyone is rushing to get the job done so that they can serve the next customer. The wait was not long but what really bothered me was the cleanliness of the place. When I requested a pedicure, a male employee directed me to a pedicure seat and told me to sit down. A lady had just gotten up and the tub was still a bit wet. I looked at him with disdain and asked if he could clean the tub. He motions for me to sit down and says he’ll clean it. He then proceeded to spray the tub with a metallic bottle containing a liquid that smelled like rubbing alcohol. Really? Rubbing alcohol?. The guy wiped out the tub and turned on the water, then walked away. I sat down and placed my own pedicure soak in the tub. The employee doing my pedicure rushed through the whole process. At one point she forgot to buff my nails on one foot. When I made her aware of it, she denied it, thought about it a little then said oh yes I did and laughed. I ignored her. Once that was done, we went on to the gel manicure where I asked for a French manicure. Everything was fine until I asked a for silver lining under the white tip. She picked out a type of silver that was more like glitter, I wanted something solid or thicker. When I asked her about the availability of other types, she told me verbatim, «No, that’s it… you like this!, it look good». I ignored her again because obviously she didn’t want to do extra work or work for her tip. I left with my nails looking very nice though… Until 2 days later when they all began to chip. I went back and another tech fixed them and tried to preserve the other nails from chipping. It did’nt look horrible but it could’ve been better. A few days later, they chipped again. Waste of time and money. They don’t take pride in their work anymore and it seems as if it’s all about the cash. My friends and I won’t be returning and I would not recommend this place.

Love this place they took good care of me, they are quick and good. I would not go anywhere else besides here.

This place moved to a bigger and more ventilated space. I have the least dainty feet of anyone I know and they scrubbed it down and removed all my calluses. Now I can finally wear sandals!

Ok so the last time I came here was short notice around 5pm dec 30^th. So you can imagine how nervous I was. That was my 1^st time going to the new location and I must say I was impressed! I was in n out, my nails looked great (I will try n find a pic) and was done right.
When I do acrylic tips with a funky design and diamonds (which is rare), this is the place I go!

All they want to do here is push services. I had French manicure an it started fading in less than week. When I went to complain they were going to charge me over. I would not patronize this hyped up nail salon too many on Nostrand (note they claim their nail polish will not last unless u spend extra for gel polish for additional charge)

Went there yesterday april 9^th around 1pm it was pretty busy died down then picked back up i was serviced right away i soaked off my gel manicure then redid it with a design the lady who did my nails was very efficient took her time filled them properly cleaned them very well now its time to see how long they last if last more than 2 weeks i can see my self going back again bit expensive $ 48 for what i got verses my normal $ 30 for what my other salon does we shall see if it’s worth it

I swear Im looking for a better spot in Brooklyn. Ive been going here for 3 yrs & they have AMAZING designs. The problem is their quality has gone down over the years. My gel manicure started peeling off after 4 days! & my crystals on my design nail starting falling right off with them. I mean come on! And Bobo’s (theowner) attitude has gone out of hand. Don’t argue wit me & tell me I was there 2 weeks ago. Sweety it was definitely 4 days & there is no way in hell my polish should be chipping off. If it wasnt for there variety of gel manicures, hot designs & cheap prices I would’ve left a lonnng time ago.
Im tired of tolerating these bi$&hes. As soon as I find a better place, Im out!

Save your money this place is all about quantity of customers verses quality in work. Yeah you may leave there with a nice full set but less then a week nails start snapping off. Legit three nails broke trying to make my bed; scratch my head and open a zip lock bag. These are everyday things so on that note won’t be a returning customer maybe if I’m desperate.

Be very careful who you allow to do your nails in here. Most do a good job but some are rude, rush, and flat out do a poor job and still expect a tip… You kinda have to learn who to go to.
