Ruby Nails salon

After moving to the area recently, I figured I would try a new nail place instead of having to drive to my old one. I made the appointment for 10am on a Saturday morning by calling the day before with ease. The morning of my appointment I had difficulty getting there on time so called and asked if it was okay that I come at 11 and they said it wasn’t a problem. Unfortunately even after moving my appointment I was still running late and 5 minutes after 11 they actually called me to make sure I was coming, which I found to be kind of interesting. Walking in they greeted me and told me to pick my color and the chair was waiting for me. I didn’t get a chance to look at the prices before sitting but figured they would be standard and in keeping with the area. I never usually pay more than $ 25 for manicure, pedicure and eye brows. Once they started my pedicure I got the feeling it would be more. She used hot stones on me, a leg scrub and a heel softener. It was a very in depth and lengthy pedicure but I did enjoy it. The chair was a great massage chair as well. My manicure was similar and took just as much time.
Overall, the place is very clean (everything gets wrapped in plastic before use, even the sinks!). The service was very in depth but took a very long time. I was there for almost 2 hours. My manicure instantly had air bubbles in it and began chipping just a couple days later. Although I did enjoy all the extras, I think I will stick with my other go-​to nail places which are half the price, half the time and with the polish lasting twice as long.

I used to come here for about a year now. When I first went, Sarah and Annie were the two go to people but I just realized today that they were no longer there. These two technicians were not only nice but very attentive to each customer. I booked an appointment with Sarah over the phone at 430 thinking it was my usual person. When I arrived at 410, the man working front desk pointed me to a new person also named Sara. I asked him what happened to the Sarah I know of and he didn’t bother explain but push the new person to me. Fine. I’ll give it a chance. I sat at the desk next to this person for about 15 minutes because I had arrived early and she was with a customer. Usually by this time, Alice or Sarah would approach me personally and give me an estimate of my wait time. Then 430 came… and the guy helped me to a pedicure seat. No water in the basin… nothing. I just sat there. I was directly in front of this new technician and she clearly knew I was waiting for her. But instead of wrapping her previous customer, she was sitting there gossiping and laughing. My rule of thumb is that if I’m paying you, you don’t make me wait longer than 15 minutes. At 445 I put my socks on and that is when this new person decided to rush over and apologize. I could not bare to even think about tipping her so I walked out for the first time in my life… due to lack of service. I used to spend around 100 dollars every week here because I liked the service and the job wasn’t terrible. Now with the good Sarah and Annie gone, and with such rude service, there is no reason to go back. This place is really becoming a mess compared to a year ago.

This used to be my go to nail salon but after my last visit I don’t think I’ll be returning. One thing I love about this place is that they’re very clean. I normally get regular gel manicures which usually come out great. I was going on vacation and wanted to get nail extensions so I opted for their UV Gel Nail Extensions with a French manicure design. It was priced at $ 95 which is I think a bit much. I didn’t mind because they looked pretty good but after a few days the gel started to chip and in less than a week one of my nails started to break. Definitely not worth the price. If you’re looking to get your nail extensions go elsewhere. The woman took her time but when I told her one of the designs was crooked she replied «they can’t be perfect this isn’t photoshop» which I thought was rude considering I was paying $ 95.

I’ve been here a few times now and I REALLY like this place. They super clean and that’s important to me. The pedicure sink is wrapped in a new plastic cover before each sit down. The wax container is always clean and clear

I normally love this place. I adore getting my nails done here. I’ve brought all of my friends and my family. Even hosted my daughters birthday party here. However tonight was a mess and I am sorely disappointed. I got a tech that I have never had today. She started with a mediocre pedicure. Awful, rushed and sloppy. It was just bad. But I figured it’s Saturday night and busy and I came without an appointment. So I overlooked it. Then I proceed to my manicure which became the icing on the cake. First she aggressively cuts my cuticles to the point of pain. I had to tell her it hurt. She responded with «you have strong cuticles.» Whatever that means. Then she proceeds to the hot stone massage which I usually love. Not today. She took this ridiculously hot stone and placed it on top of my hand and burned me. It hurt so much that I Unilocaled (ha!) and the stone went flying on to the table. She apologized and put it in water. As my hand progresses to burnt and red, she gives me my bill. At that point I had enough. I spoke to the owner who is usually a sweetheart but when I explained she said but the stone isn’t hot maybe you just have sensitive skin. What!!! Excuse me? At that point I just wanted to leave and soothe my burn so I told her I’d be back in the morning for the polish. Needless to say I am angry and even more upset at her handling of the situation. I was hurt and was made to feel as if I was exaggerating it. I can’t believe this happened here of all places.

I have been coming to Ruby Nails salon since they opened. In my opinion it is the best nail salon I have ever gone to. It is clean, spacious, welcoming. they offer many services and have many color options. the staff is so friendly and nice. if you want to be pampered at a place where everything is done right from start to finish this is the place for you

Absolutely loved this place. Everyone is professional and the staff is extremely nice. The salon is clean and beautiful, plenty of colors to choose from and plenty of chairs. They took their time on my gel manicure and did a great job, the hot stone massage was an added bonus! Definitely will be returning!

First time to Ruby’s and glad I tried it. Great manicure and pedicure. Very clean place. I made an appointment and they took me immediately when I arrived. Friendly place. I plan to make this a regular spot.

Its a really cute place. Nice and friendly. They did a fairly good job, I guess. Too starts knocked off because the tech didnt wash her hands before she did my brows. Not sure if she double dipped either.

Had gotten a gel mani by Nancy. One of the sweetest nail techs I’ve ever been to. She actually showed me the colors on her own nails before choosing a color because I was deciding between 3 colors! Thoroughly enjoy the fact that they use new emery boards and tools from a sealed package. Ambience is very nice as well, has a classy feel to it. But more importantly, she spent a good amount of time prepping my nails before the gel mani.
$ 25 for gel mani (incl. taking off previous gel) Some places charge additional $ 5-​$ 7!
Only set back is that the gel wasn’t applied where my cuticle starts… about 1 mm… attention to detail is key…

$ 12 for a regular mani plus taking off an old gel manicure for another salon. The salon is very clean and relaxing. I was pleasantly surprised. it was my first time here and even though the girl was a little hard on my nails and didn’t make them as square as I asked, I would come back here in the event that my usual nail salon is closed like it is now.

They would have received five stars but what they did to my friend on my last visit was rude.
I am extremely picky about my nails salons. I was a huge fan of flawless until they moved locations a little over a year ago.
I have been coming here for aprx 10 months and they have pleased me every time. Ruby the owner is a sweetheart always keeping an eye on her workers and assuring they do a good job. There pedicures are the BEST in the area hands down. My gel manicure usually last 2 – 3 weeks with no issues. Some ladies do french better then others. Stone massage with mani & pedi. Extremely clean! you can always find parking
What they did to my friend our last visit was:
we arrived 6:30 for pedi/​mani (i do gel she was doing a fill in) They took her for a pedicure and did my nails first. We then decided to do a spa pedicure. It was awesome as always. Super relaxing, great way to end the work week and start the weekend. We she was done about (7:30) they told her they wouldn’t do her nails because they close at 8pm. That was appalling. Considering its a costumer service industry that is very rude and not professional. I get it they want to go home but so does the waiter at the restaurant when you walk in 30 mins to closing. Its the hospitality business. As a girl who needs her nails done, this really pissed us off. Cmon ruby
Asides from that incident i love them and will return. If there was a nail salon in the area that was just as good i would probably stay away from though because that is not right.

My girlfriend’s and I were all due for a pedicure. We decided to come to rubys and they were very accommodating. They took all four of us at once. Great. I usually do my own manis as I’m quite the nail buff, but decided to do it here since I was doing a pedicure anyways. However, 4 days later and my nails are chipped.
The Good: very clean, nice décor, plenty of workers, and decent color choices.
The Bad: a bit pricy, $ 28 for mani/​pedi. Came to $ 42 because I did French and added the callous remover. The girl who did my nails was very sweet and even complimented me on my nail art which I did myself. But, I had to remind her about the paraffin wax during my pedi and had to ask her to redo my French which was streaky and not even and missing in some spots. I’m sure she saw this and just decided not to say anything until I complained.
The Ugly: Got nails done Sunday and today they are chipped.
Overall, I would come back for a pedicure but will stick to doing my own nails which last two weeks without chipping.

Walked in on a Monday afternoon at 5pm and there were maybe 2 other customers. From the outside you wouldn’t think this place is as serene and gorgeous as it is on the inside. Black tiling on the floors, cream walls, beautiful chandelier, lots of drying stations and a large selction of nail polishes too.
I was welcomed by the owner and let him know I was interested in a pedicure. I picked my color and was seated in their huge pedicure chairs that also have amazing massage capabilities. I was given a relaxing pedicure that started with a brand new set of tools (nail clip, file etc Yess!!). Also included was a hot stone leg/​foot massage, parrafin wax and no cuts! Awesome!!! The nail technician did such a great job at buffing my heels without being too rough, and oooo that foot massage… it was more than needed. They also have a private waxing room and a couples mani/​pedi room. Overall good experience I will be back.

This salon takes care of you nicely with the service massages and willingness to cater to your needs. Had a lovely time getting pampered by Wendy and will be back. However this place doesn’t seem too up to date with the latest/​unique nail designs.

Love this place the attention was excellent. The staff is very kind. Annie did an excellent job!

I got a gel mani and regular pedi today. Wendy attended to all my needs and helped me pick great colors. She was nice enough to suggest pretty colors and she’s very quick and thorough. I’ve been to many salons before and this is probably the cleanest and well decorated place I’ve ever been to. I think all the manicurists are highly skilled and even if I didn’t have Wendy I think I would have been super satisfied anyways. Everyone is super accommodating and the atmosphere is very calming. Definitely one of the best place in queens!

SUPER clean. The staff clearly puts in a lot of effort into maintaining their salon which speaks volumes to their commitment to service. They pay attention to small offerings such as a nice scrub instead of regular hand soap prior to manicure or a mini hot stone massage while receiving a pedicure.
While great service, cleanliness, and great décor/​ambiance are important– I had to knock a star off for getting a knick while having my cuticles cut and I will admit that I have had better polishes. I am unsure whether it is the manicurist or the actual polish to blame but my manicure was a bit streaky.
I generally get gel-​manicures but opted for a regular mani/​pedi to try this salon out. I will have to report back post gel-​mani. Perhaps I’ll have better luck with a gel-​manicure. :)

So I’m sitting here getting a pedi as I type. The woman next to me hasn’t shut up since I sat down. Just as an aside, why do women chat so much to their pedicurists? They don’t seem to realize the rest of the world can hear their business! This one got all excited when she found out her pedicurist is Korean and started raving about the delicious Korean food served at Erawan on Bell Blvd.
Except Erawan is a Thai restaurant. We don’t all looksame, idiot.
Anyway, I adore Ruby Everyday Nail Salon. They’re always so pleasant and really try to be accommodating without being sickeningly sycophantic. Their polish selection may seem a bit limited if you’re into lots of different colors. I’m pretty conservative with my color choices so the relative lack of options doesn’t bother me.
Their basic pedicure is pretty thorough and even includes a quick hot stone massage. My favorite place to get a little bit of pampering! Now if only the Chatty Pattys would stfu!

Very pleased with our mani pedis. Kevin did my nails and he did an awesome job :) I bite my nails so they were a mess. He took his time cutting all the cuticles and making sure the polish went on smoothly.
I love their interior and everything seems to be very clean.
It is a bit pricey here ($ 27 for mani and pedi) but I think its worth it.
