Karma Nails & Spa

I frequently get gel manis here and pedicures. They are very hygienic and care about the quality of their work. The attention to detail on the manicure is very high and the time is always taken to get it right — you will never feel rushed. The pedicures are relaxing and callous removal is very worth it. The prices may be slightly higher, but for the quality I highly recommend going here instead of other nail salons in Sunnyside.

I had an appointment at 6:30 for a manicure&pedicure but did not get seated/​helped until 6:50. Then when I thought I was finally going to start, they just had me sit in the pedicure chair until 7:10. They shouldn’t have made me wait 40 minutes especially when I booked an appointment. And then they charged me $ 15 for sitting in that chair… no scrub, no cuticles, no polish. They made me pay $ 15 for the automatic chair massage. Ridiculous.

Came in for a mini massage during my lunch break. Had a fantastic 20 minute massage! No private room, just a massage chair where you rest your body into. This was a bit disappointing but once the massage was finished it was definitely worth it. The lady was really good with her hands and even though it was in a chair it was definitely relaxing. I didn’t leave sore, which is great because I hate when people are too rough. I definitely shed some stress off my neck though!

Great nail salon in Sunnyside! Very clean and the girls are attentive. I got a get manicure and regular pedicure and am very happy with both. Have both OPI and Essie colors.

I was around the area and decided to get my nails done. This place looked really clean and the workers were nice. However, I’m not too pleased with my manicure. My nails were cut too short and Not evenly cut. Secondly, after my nails were done, I noticed that the nail polish was pretty shitty quality. They didn’t even apply it nicely ! I love the Essie brand and always use it, however the store must’ve added alcohol into the nail polish to make it last longer.
Really disappointed.

Beautiful spa like atmosphere. Overpriced for the service. Inconsistent with service and quality. Staff is nice, friendly. Clean interior. Will accommodate walk ins. Closes late.

So disappointed! Im never going back there. They made me wait 51mins exactly. They should let the customers know the wait time. Understaffed!

Very disappointed with my last few visits here. The staff seem miserable – very tense. My nail polish, which came from an OPI bottle, started to chip less than 48 hours later. I re-​did my manicure at home and got a better result. I will be saving my money from now on.

Home of the one day gel manicure. I went last Thursday to get a gel manicure before a gala on Friday. They did a great job and the OPI color I chose big apple red looked wonderful. I woke up Friday and my thumb was chipped it got worse through the day. So I went to the event with chipped nails.
I went back Monday and my left hand was totally redone and my right was touched up. The next day it’s chipped again.
Hours wasted and for gel mani regular pedi it was $ 70 not including tip. I tipped each time I went.
The women who worked on my nails did everything right — I assume the problem was with the materials.
Waste of time and money with embarrassing results.

BEST NAIL SALON EVER
All the girls working there are AMAZING. Everyone is really efficient and service is always top notch.

I like this location a lot, it is easily accessible on queens blvd. plenty of metered parking across the street under the 7 train line.
Karma is a very clean, well lit place. The massage chairs are pretty cool if you figure out how some who what feels good for you and how to work the kinda beat up remote.
My wife and I have been coming here for awhile and I am always pleased.
Nyama is the woman that I always request, she takes her time doing my pedicure and give me a very good Hot stone massage and shoulder massage. It’s really worth every dollar. I always tip well, at least 6 to 8 dollars and that’s assured to always get me top service here. she always remembers my name.
I would recommend this place to anyone.
Treat yourselves my friends!

You can truly relax here when you are getting your mani-​pedi. This is not one of those chop shop spa places they careless about how their customers feel but do business first.
This is on my top goto list in LIC and Sunnyside. Yes I actually go there from LIC for the great service.
The staff here are very nice, detail oriented, attentive, and they aren’t in a rush to be done with you so they can take the next customer. A lot of other places I’ve tried aren’t as clean and sanitized as this one.
Hot stone massage for a regular pedi. They also let you soak in the warm water for a while before they start to work on you. You will like your experience there.
I also tried their chair massage. Oh yeah they do a great job too. I suffer from neck, shoulder, and back pain from working long hours in the office. From time to time I also get a chair massage from here.
One cons: it’s on the expensive end of the spectrum for a location in Queens but you get what you pay for.

I love this place. The ladies are super nice here and it’s super quite. All of them know what they are doing and really want the best for all their clients. They are very thorough and listen to all your requests. The place is super clean and well maintained. Also, their manis are only $ 10!
They also have a membership card so the more you come the more rewards you get! They give a nice back massage if you get a mani while your nails are drying which is a plus~ Be sure to tip them well! They do an amazing job!
Make an appointment because they get super busy.

Best $ 25 pedicure!
–includes a hot stone massage even though it’s just a «basic pedi»
–you get time to just soak/​use massage chairs before they start, no rushing
–they respect your natural nail and don’t over-​buff
–great polish job, they really look and make sure not to miss the edges
With tip you’ll end up spending $ 30, but it’s entirely worth it for a relaxing experience and consistent results.
Note: The location is actually btwn 42^nd and 43^rd. not what is says on Unilocal

I really do not get my nails done often but when I do, I want it to be a pleasant and affordable experience. My biggest issue is cleanliness because there is nothing grosser than putting your foot in a pedicure tub that is dirty or seeing a technician use dirty tools. I decided to try Karma since the reviews were so good on here. I made an appointment for a Friday night mani/​pedi at 6pm and arrived about 15 min early. I was helped right away and even though the salon was busy, I didn’t feel like I was waiting around.
The tech who did my pedicure was very good. She was meticulous and not rough and didn’t tickle my feet too much (this is the part I dread about pedicures!). I had a different tech for my manicure but she also was very good. Even though the salon was busy, I didn’t feel rushed. They use new tools taken out of a package and I saw her remove the foot scrub she used on me and put it in to the sanitizing machine.
The best part about Karma is they give you a short shoulder massage afterwards (not many places do this anymore!) and 3 days later, I don’t have one chip in my manicure! Although Karma is a bit more pricey than some other nail salons in Queens ($ 10 for mani, $ 25 for pedi), I really think the price is worth it if the experience is seamless and my manicure is still going strong.

1. The location on Unilocal is incorrect. It’s between 43^rd and 42^nd.
2. I agree with another reviewer that it was worth the price. I just had the Green Tea Pedicure and I was wonderful. The nail technician was so nice and didn’t skimp on the massage! Feeling great.
3. Very very clean. Tools came in a sanitary pouch.

I think the map shows the location incorrectly. I’m pretty sure it is between 43^rd and 44^th street
this is my favorite nail salon now. I was there with my mom and we both loved the care and attention we got. Very detailed oriented girls, service is friendly and accommodating.
I highly recommend this salon.

AMAZING! Went here for the first time today. Its rare to find a place where not only are they clean but they take their time. It got busy and i didnt even feel rushed. They did such a good job on my mani and pedi and my fiancé enjoyed his first time as well. Cant wait to go back. Great for the price!!!

I had a great experience here! I just say that I’ve only been here once but I’ve been to many other salons across the boroughs.
The manicure was well executed! No hard cutting/​pulling of cuticles, great selection of color, AND they massage your hands with hot lotion. Ahhhhh, the sweet feeling of relaxation.
I went during the holidays so i got a free olive oil lotion as a gift which made me feel special.
My nails have held up for a week (which is a lot longer than usual for me.)
All of this for $ 10 flat? Sounds like a bargain! Will definitely return.

So I came here because my usual spot was full. At first I thought this place another one of those over expensive for show spots like most nail spots that are right on the blvd or like that French Nails on Greenpoint Ave by Lennys Pizza (ugh! The worst) but I Unilocaled it and as always you all were right!
The place is spacious and super clean! I got a gel manicure and it was the standard price so no real bargains here but the manicurist took her time and gave the best massage! At the end of my time there they gave me a really pretty packaged Christmas gift that was such a neat touch!
P.S.
A star was docked because only 2 of the 7 girls working were able to do designs and one was super busy and the other had to leave ASAP… kind of a bummer to not have all of your staff able to do design
