Julie Nails and Spa

Love this place! I was a first time customer 2 weeks ago and was quickly turned onto julie nails! As someone who lived on the upper east side in Manhattan for 4 years, I idolized my nail girl and have spent the past 6 months trying to find a place to replicate my experience in the past. My nail tech (I believe her name was Patricia?) was thorough and used all of the same techniques my old nail tech used to. Her expertise and delicate care allowed me to feel utterly relaxed while getting my manicure pedicure (which last 2 weeks may i add) I highly recommend this place and will be making this my new regular spot: o)

I went for waxing here. This is cheaper than the place I usually go to. The Korean woman was very fast and efficient in removing hairs. However she keeps manipulating the area with her bare hands. It was not uncomfortable in any way. It was just unsanitary. I wonder whether she double dipped too. Unfortunately, would not go back given the hygienic concern.

$ 20 for a manicure and pedicure is pretty cheap compared to some of the nail salons in the area. It’s a big nail salon and parking is easy to find. The pedicure could have been more thorough. but friendly and quiet staff

I have visited Julie nails plenty of times and have loved it. It depends on who you get to do your nails. I visited the salon with my friend and was disappointed. The lady who did my nails rushed and did not give me any time to relax and enjoy my mani pedi. No one was even waiting so I do not understand why she rushed. It was not closing time either. My pedicure was poor, and she did not paint all of my big toe. She missed the top. My friend was hurt by the other lady and felt she was not gentle with her feet. I know this place could do better, but first they must hire workers who are not in a rush. Overall, very disappointed,

Terrible! I asked for white acrylic tips and got nothing but attitude. They wanted me to buy the gel but that doesn’t seem to work on me so I told them just that. They seem pissed. They charge me $ 50 for a full set. One week later the new set looked like I had then on for weeks. My husband even said to me wow your nails look bad. He has never told me that before. He told me not to go here because of the reviews but I was in a rush and I figured it couldn’t be that bad. I should have listened. My nails broke within a week. Will never go back.

Just got a manicure + pedicure for the first time today because I was with a friend visiting and it was the best experience ever! The massage chairs are awesome. I was expecting a simple vibration but I got an all out kneading massage chair and the pedicure experience was really awesome. You get your nails clipped and filed, your cuticles pushed back, any dead skin cut, a foot massage with lotion and now I feel so refreshed! My life is changed. Oh and parking on site.

Julie Nails and Spa is definitely my go to spot for nails.
They have a large selection of different colors and brands to choose from, a lot better than the other places I have been too.
I know it’s worth it because my nails never chip or fade for at least the first 5 days!
The service is always quick and friendly, and the place is very spacious!
I would recommend to anyone who wants a great lasting mani/​pedi! :)

sorry for the cliché butttt… you get what you pay for. here its cheap polish, grimy tools and a half assed mani. never again!

This place is where I go with my mom and sis… We have our fav ppl that we go to. The place is clean, nice, friendly staff, and very accommodating. I bring my own color since i am so particular. Prices are in line for the area, the place never feels overcrowded even when busy. Apts are usually on time or within 5 min unless you are late… The only reason I dont give it 5 stars is because there are not alot of pedicure spa options and I like that. But otherwise we see Paty, Lorena and Cindy or Maria.

I think Julie Nails deserves four stars (in comparison to other nail salons in the Bayside/​Douglaston/​Little Neck area). My mom comes here all the time before a big trip or event (otherwise she is capable of doing her own nails). I’ve tagged along a few times and I was never disappointed.
This salon is larger than the others in the vicinity. One side of the wall is lined with manicure stations, and opposite that wall is a row of pedicure seats. In between you will find two rows of drying stations. I haven’t been in the back area but I think this is where the massage/​wax rooms and bathroom are.
I’ve seen about ten employees work at a time (a mix of middle aged Korean and Latin ladies) but on my visit one Sunday evening, there were about 5 working. Like many nail salons, the loyal customers have built a long lasting relationship with the staff. The room is usually filled with chit chat between customers and staff or just among staff.
My mom always requests for Joyce because apparently she applies the best thin coat of manicure (to prevent chipping). I’ve worked with Michelle and I think she’s great (detail oriented) and super friendly.
We always call ahead to make a reservation or to check in on how busy they are. I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes.
Based on the Unilocal reviews, one would expect to see many men here getting their nails did ;) I have seen a few guys here, which made it easier to convince my bf to try it out. I treated him with a mani and pedi (his very first one) and he enjoyed it very much! Julie Nails offers several pedi packages to customize for your needs — the more junk you have on your feet, the more you have to pay to clean!
[there was an old man sitting next to us with really nasty nasty feet. He also rudely demanded that they put his socks on for him. I watched as Michelle unrolled his socks inside out and put it on for him. His feet needed the ultimate pedi package but I think he went with the cheapest possible]
I think they have a Monday — Wednesday special: mani+pedi for $ 20 or $ 25? I don’t remember.
My only con is that there is not a large selection of nail polish but this won’t keep me from returning.

Place seemed a little dingy. Wife seems to dig it and the price isn’t bad.

I stopped into Julie Nails and Spa just to get a manicure as I had been eating next door and had a lot of time to kill. I found a good place I usually go to in Bayside, but I figured I would give them a try.
The place was empty and the manicurists were friendly.
Everything went well, but I was surprised by the price. 7.50 was high for a regular manicure. I normally pay 5.00 at the place I go to and every tenth is free, and the local places in my neighborhood are around the same.
Parking lot on premises.
