Queen Bee Nail Studio

Rachel is awesome! I spend a lot of time trying to find a design I like and she came up with this which is more than what I expect! She knows what she’s doing and very careful with length, design, polish and everything. I’ll def come back and have Rachel do my nails again :)

June is amazing. I got gel mani and regular pedi for 43 dollars. She really took her time and did not rush. She also helped me pick out colors. Even though she doesn’t speak English, she understood what I wanted very quickly and really delivered. It took her about an hour and forty minutes to complete everything and also gave me a nice massage. Definitely worth it and I will be regular hoping they don’t go downhill like my last nail shop.

Very happy with my nails from Queen Bee. They looked exactly like the picture I showed them. I also really appreciated the nails they did for my 14 year old sister. Age-​appropriate but still really fun! When I was paying at the end, I was pleasantly surprised by the price. I’ll be back!

This is a review for the massage section of Queen Bee’s, which is off in its own section when you come into the building. It’s brand new, super clean, quiet, and the masseuses are great! I’ve come in without appointments and have been accommodated immediately. However I was told I should call if I am coming with more than one person.
The hour long body massage includes hot oil, hot stones, neck, back, arms, head, legs and feet massaged. Both of the masseuses that I had were very professional and knew the right amount of pressure to apply. And the price is only $ 30 for an hour. At that price, I can also leave a huge tip and still pay less than I would any where else. There is also a foot massage room with a huge tv («boyfriend room?») that seems cool, but I haven’t tried just the foot massage part. Overall amazing experience!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! i walked in without an appointment for a UV gel tip set and was greeted by the owner, such a sweetheart. He gave me a cup of coffee and magazines to browse while i waited, it was about 10 min. Then my manicurist saw me, and WOW, Soul is the most professional, meticulous manicurist i ever had. She was such a perfectionist, she made sure everything was perfect, they feel like my own nails! ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend!

I. Customer Service
I had originally booked an appointment with one of the technicians named Eddie since Unilocal review customers gave him a positive feedback. Unfortunately, when I arrived he wasn’t there and was informed that he will be arriving 40 mins late. The receptionist did not sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Immediately, the staff starts to speak in Chinese and I told them that I don’t speak the language. The receptionist then rudely states «I know» and was shift off to another nail technician named Clarice. The staff should know that people book an appointment for a reason and a business should be reliable. In the event they cannot make that promise, they should let the customer know as soon as possible to accommodate. The receptionist and nail technicians started to eat and drink in front of the customers. They talk in Chinese about their customers thinking they don’t understand! The whole staff are a young crew who lacks common sense. This place is run by children! They lack professionalism and are too young to understand how to run a business.
II. Cleanliness
The nail salon looked clean over all but if you pay attention to detail. There are certain things that bother you. After they use the soap out of the containers, they do not close the bottles immediately and let it sit. The good thing about this place is that they use plastic bags for the tubs in the pedicure stations.
III. Staff Nail License
I do not know if the staff is fully licensed by the NYS Department of Licensing– Nail Specialty. Technically, not everyone has to be licensed to be a nail technician. Usually when you walk into the nail salon, there are usually the staffs’ nail license behind the reception desk area.
IV. Price
This nail salon is more expensive than other places. For example, nail salons around this area charge $ 8 for a regular manicure they would charge $ 10. For a regular pedicure, this nail salon would charge $ 18 when other places charge $ 16. The numbers all add up later when you do everything!
V. Nail Job
I would have not mind the price if the nail job was done perfectly. They cannot shape your nails evenly and it is crooked it. Isn’t that basics?
Note: I had no choice but to stick with this place since I had to get things done in a timely fashion that day. When I was getting my nails done, I saw that Eddie and this other nail technician had arrived. It appeared like they were tired from the night before from partying. He did not apologize at all.
There are so many nail salons in the Flushing area with the same skill set or better.

Update: While I was reviewing Queen Bee’s brochure, I realized I was over charged $ 3. I did not realize it until I got home. On the day I received the service, I had done a regular manicure and pedicure.
On the brochure, it says the price of a regular manicure is $ 10 and a regular pedicure is $ 18. If it is a manicure + pedicure, it costs $ 25. The nail technician that day charged me $ 28.
*** I am definitely not returning back and would not recommend this place to family or friends. FINAL!

Had a fabulous experience whenever i went there! Everyone there is very friendly and do a great job. last time i went for gel manicure it lasted a whole month with no damage at all! (i wash many dishes and do alot of housework everyday, so i was very pleasantly surprised!). Last week i went to do my nails again and had Wendy do my gel manicure. She was very very friendly and professional. She spent alot time for me studying the picture i showed her and managed to create exactly what i asked! The result was amazing! Im definitely coming back :)

Came here Saturday afternoon and I was told it would take ten min till I was next. That was not true. I waited over an hour. I should have left but I waited that long I didn’t want to leave. As I was waiting I saw someone came in and that person went before me. I was in utter disbelief. I feel they cater to Chinese speaking people. So when it was my turn the lady I got was nice. I don’t think she spoke English cause she didn’t say a word to me except what color I wanted. Did my nail for like 20 min. It came out nice but why wouldn’t it. I’m paying a high price. I don’t think I would come back here again.

This is the best nail salon I’ve been! They are very friendly and professional, and my design is always awesome.
I don’t know why there are some bad reviews, but seriously, I’ll never ruin the work by touching everywhere before dry and post here to complain :)

It ‘s hard nowdays to find clean, efficient, and decently priced nail salons anywhere in NYC. The staff here is readlly friendly and accommodating. Keep up great work ladies. It’s a good choices.

Love this place, people there are extremely kind makes you feel very comfy. The designers are the best and very talented and profession. They have a big TV to watch and designers/​receiptionist would serve you with coffee/​tea and snacks. So it is a very nice place to enjoy your time and getting your nails done. P. s the foot spa is good too!

Eddie and xiaoyu are the best of the best!!! They’ve been doing nail art for several years and they are simply just AMAZING!!! I’ve been their loyal customers for as long as I can remember, check my pics! They are all the nails Eddie and xiaoyu did!

You must ask for Eddie or Xiao Yu if u wanna have awesome gel manicure! I highly recommend them ;) the price is very reasonable and I love the design every time haha

Nice place! You could ask for Eddie, he will give you the best design. Walk in will take a long wait, so make appointment ahead.

A nice place to have my nails done. They doing all kind of different designs. And I always looking for Eddie to do my nail as well. Cuz he is the BEST ! Trust me he is a funny nice guy and he does Great job! He won’t let u feel disappointed.

Love this place so much! There are two designers are awesome. If you are looking for the special nail’s designer, you can ask Eddie and Xiao-​Yu. Love them so much! I promise you will love their design.

Been coming to this place for my gel manicure for few months now… Eddie does an amazing job! (I have been getting my nails done by him for almost two years now, even before he started working here) I would call him an artist because everything has to be done to his perfection! Highly recommend him whether you are looking for simple but nicely done manicure or a fancy dressed up nails with designs. Just bring picture of the design you want and Eddie will not disappoint!

This was my first time ever getting gel nails. I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t have an appointment and waited over 45 mins when he said it would only take 10 mins. The receptionist let other people go ahead of my sister and i. That frustrated me. I called him out on it and he said that she had an appointment which she clearly did not because he told her to wait 20 mins in Chinese thinking i did not understand. It was finally my turn and had this guy do my nails. It was kinda awkward. I never had a guy do my nails for me. He did a okay job. It looked like he was rushing. The gel came out to be 25 $. I wouldn’t come back again.

Really loved going to this place! My manicure lasted for almost two weeks and it wasn’t even gel. The atmosphere is really nice and the people are super friendly.

I wasn’t expecting anything grand. But really??! I ask for square she gives me one square and one round toe .on top of that she literally contoured my toes when she was painting them. An inch away from my skin on all sides like come on! The top coat was down to it’s last drop and it was so thick and gooey and that certainly did not help my already three coats of nail polish… –_–
I did not care to stay and dry my toes completely even tho I knew they would smudge if I put my shoes on. I’m getting them redone tomorrow :(
Overall, two stars just because my girl (even tho she sucked) was nice and the reception guy seemed nice. BUT I would not come back. Save your money people…
