Pinky Nails Spa & Tattoo

Pick a better nail salon! 2 stars bc my acrylic nails lasted a week. This is not the first time it happened, I came here before also and one of the nails came off in a week, this time the same issue plus they were uneven and not oval. Charged me 5 bucks extra for the shape, could at least work on it. I believe pinky did my nails. I’m sad bc paid 35 bucks for one week nails, usually acrylic lasts for at least ²⁄₃ weeks before refill, and I’m so mad taking them off by myself. Witnessed a lady coming in complaining her gel came off in 4 days and literally everyone was telling on her especially the guy, like she was crazy, and the poor lady was actually nice the whole time. She even said that her technician should remember her and the girl was like, no i don’t in a rude tone. It was painful to witness bc they were so rude! Pinky controls her employees and all she cares for is money. Rushes and doesn’t really care. I had to point out uneven spaces to her she didn’t even fix it, said it was ok. I was like ok, I don’t want to deal with this. Go somewhere else.

If you want stylish nails this is one of the few places in Brooklyn that are on point. Bring a picture of what you want & they will do it

Pinky’s was recommended to me by another local. After a series of unsuccessful attempts to get a decent manicure at other salons in the area, I felt compelled to ask around for recommendations. Needless to say, I’m really glad I found Pinky’s. In fact, I now spend most of my time in Manhattan, but still make it a point to travel to Pinky’s. Here’s why:
1. Once you establish yourself as a regular, they tend to remember how you like things done. I also almost always am placed with the same manicurist, unless she’s busy or has the day off. You can always make an appointment with your favorite manicurist, but I don’t bother, because every one I’ve worked with has done a great job!
2. Their prices are extremely reasonable. Not only am I paying less than I have been charged at many other salons, I’m getting a higher-​quality manicure out of it.
3. Their selection of gel colors beats almost any other salon I’ve been to in the immediate area.
4. The interior is modern and clean. It’s relaxing to be here, because it’s decorated nicely and very hygienic.
5. They’re quick, and it hasn’t skimped on the quality in my experience.
6. I’ve only had nails break twice since I’ve been coming here, and it was probably mostly (if not entirely) a result of something I did to cause it.
Just for reference, I get acrylics and gel color. Usually every 2 weeks, I get a fill and a new color. When needed, I get new tips put on. I’ve also gotten my eyebrows done here. If you get other procedures, you may want to refer to other reviews.

Came here for my second gel manicure and I was less than pleased. It was chunky and looked nothing like the manicure I got the first time. The entire process was rushed and my nails look like globs of polish were thrown onto them. I won’t be coming backZ

I’ve been here many times and I am never disappointed. Gel manicure for only $ 20 and the gel manicure removal is a breeze since they wrap each nail with foil. Oppose to other nail salons that make you soak your fingers in a bowl of acetone which takes forever for them to remove the polish! This is the best salon that I always go to!

You know I read the reviews and decided to go with my friend. I scheduled our appointments the morning of the day we went on a Saturday. We were seen right away and I appreciated that I was able to sit next to my friend. The ladies doing our nails did a great job. I have only nice things to say about this place for my first visit. My nails held up for 3 weeks, possibly would have lasted an extra week but my nails got too long from the gel manicure (I keep my nails short for work).

I used to love this salon! I called for an appointment in which the owner Andy answers and was extremely rude! When I went to my appt I explained to pinky (andys wife) how rude he was to me she was like «he’s like that because we are very busy» and to call a day they aren’t busy to schedule my appt. I told her your going to lose costumes like that and they should hire someone for the telephone. She says to me it’s okay if we lose costumes we can’t please everybody and they can’t afford to hire someone for the phones. So it’s clear she’s unappreciative and they all have been slacking with their service! They hike up their prices without anyone being told and now their services suck as much as they do! I can see their business failing very soon.

I went to this place for two years because of convenience. Recently this place went way down hill. The guy in the front is really really rude as always. The owner Pinky doesn’t fix any problems. Some of the girls are rude and rough. Cindy and the lady in the third desk are particularly rude and nasty. Some of the girls don’t pay attention to the customer and do a really bad job because they are gossiping with one another or talking on their cell phones. My last experience was exceptionally horrible. Very bad customer service skills. Never going back.

I hate to do this. But they can’t do nails the correct way. It’s filled with bubbles, the length is always uneven, the workers including the front desk guy are all very very rude. Come on, I’m paying so much money to look nice and you give me a crappy medi/​pedi that chips within 2 days and then I get a crappy attitude?
A special package at Pinky’s
Crappy mani/​pedi: $ 25
Tip: well above 20%
Crappy attitude and «we can’t please everyone BS: PRICELESS!!!
Everyone is always rushing and not making eye contract. Cindy is always busy and when I finally get her seat, I’m there for 20 mins and I’m out…
Pinky, you are ruining your business!!! You are so talented and it’s going all to waste. You could be making so much money.
The guy up front, he’s got to go. He makes me or want to come here.
Out of all this, I only come to get my eyebrows done my Pinky. She’s simply the best with eyebrows. I always look like a different person. In a good way. Shame on Pinky…

I went there do get my eyebrows done, the girl did a pretty good job. However she should have noticed that u should chew a gum after you eat something, cuz her breath stinks …

I am writing a review for my friend that has cancer. She walked in there to get eyelashes and the guy at the front desk was so rude and nasty. He started to yell — you no eyelashes no lashes, which is why she was going there. To a point she ran out crying. I mean this s$&t could have been nicer to her if they couldn’t do it. Then he wanted $ 60 for it to top things off after he yelled at her
If I can give a 0 I would I was going to call and curse this ass out, but after I read the reviews I think it would be a waste of time since a lot of them is about bad customer service —
Karma is a bitch —-

HORRIBLE, HORRID, HORRENDOUS, ETC.
The owner’s husband is the most vile, disrespectful, piece of SHIT I have ever met in my life when it comes to customer service. I am APPALLED!
This is my 100% honest review:
I try not to bash any business but I just can’t hold this review in. For anyone who gets their nails done, or plans on it, at Pinky Nails, how do you deal with that ASSHOLE owner?! I haven’t gone there in a while and today, decided to go there again. I was seated and one lady took off my gel. I showed her a Hamsa design and she said that no one could do it, so I said okay, no problem, thanks for being honest. Then the lady who was going to do my nails sat down and I showed her another design, very simple (a Chai on one nail) and she said she can do it. I asked probably 3 times before we got to the design if she’s sure and she said yes 100%. First of all, she chopped off all my nails, not one single nail is even with the other (very unlike their typically good work.) I was upset but figured whatever, there’s nothing I can do, and just switched to a lighter color. Then, once she started polishing, she’s like, oh they said I can’t do the design. I asked why, you said that you can do it, I don’t care if THEY can’t. She said no. I got angry and told her that I asked her so many times and she kept saying yes so she agreed and said I’ll do it and if it comes out bad, we’ll take it off. I said okay. Needless to say, she could NOT do it, but I really wanted the Chai so I said I’ll do it myself. I did the Chai on one hand and asked her to do a Jewish star on the other, SUPER simple. She couldn’t even do that, so I did that one also. Literally I DID my own design. As she was trying to do the Jewish star, she’s like oh each design is $ 3, I told you that right? I said no you didn’t but okay. Obviously, when it turned out that she couldn’t do it, I figured she wouldn’t charge me for the design that I myself did, but she had the audacity to charge me $ 6 for MY work. I told her that’s ridiculous and that there’s no way I’m paying for it. All of them start ganging up on me and literally yelling. I snapped! I came up to the fucking ASSHOLE owner sitting up front trying to speak with him normally because I wasn’t going to pay for the design that I did AND tip her. You can’t even imagine, he stuck his disgusting hand in my face and said, AND I QUOTE: «don’t talk to me.» I stormed out of there. I just can’t believe their audacity. I’m sorry, but that HORRIFIC customer service ensured the fact that I will NEVER step foot in there again.
PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR! PLEASE!!! Do not go there. They need to learn a lesson that you cannot be SO RUDE to customers and expect them to come back.

If only «0» stars were available.. THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! ALL Pinky the owners cares about is taking your money, she does not value the customer. I got uv gel on my nails it was 60 follars, I left with all awkwardly filed fat square nails. The woman Cindy who sits in the first chair who is popular there rushes and everytime I tried to ask her to ch a ge ething she said next time. She pressured me into picking a gel color within 1 min and then I didn’t like the color so instead of doing a sample and taking off she paints another color on my nails! I told the owner I was unhappy and her response was I can’t make every one happy… I’m soooooooo beyond turned off I will never give them another cent!

I was a customer here for nearly two years because it was very close to my job. However, after my most recent visit, I’m done. Their pedicures have always been lacking, but because they do really nice gel manicures, I continued going here. They don’t use a razor or do any sort of callous removal. The last time and final time I went, the technician didn’t do ANY cuticle work at all. It was a very rushed 10 minute pedicure. The gel manicure chipped after 4 days.
Everything is rushed, and the atmosphere is chaotic. As most other reviewers have mentioned, the guy at the front desk is rude. There’s always a 30+ minute wait. The technicians talk and text on their phone. They gossip with one another and complain about their customers in Chinese.
Do yourself a favor and walk two extra blocks to Golden Nails on Bath Av & 21^st.

Pinky’s is amazing! I’ve been coming here for a year now, mostly for gel manicures. My first experience with Pinky’s was a removal of awful acrylic tips from some cheap place. They were so nice and careful (even with my nails almost damaged beyond repair). Angel is the absolute best! She’s always fast, nice and does wonderful work.
Today I wanted these ballerina tips I saw on Pinterest, so I showed Angel a picture and she did them perfectly!

I went to Pinky (owner) for permanent eyebrows. She was kind and gentle throughout the process. I was really nervous b/​c I was having something done on my face permanently. God forbid it ends up being a botched job, I will be mortified. But thank god it didn’t.
She did a few eyebrow styles and we spent maybe a good 20 mins going over which style I would look best in and best suited my facial shape. She proceeded with the tattooing and it was virtually painless. She mixed brown and black ink together so the eyebrow comes out looking really natural. The price I paid comes with two touch up sessions which was amazing. There was minimal peeling afterward.
I had gotten so many compliments on my eyebrows and most of them don’t even think it was permanent tattooing until I told them. They all thought I spend hours in front my mirror plucking and shaping and shading it in when in fact it only take me 10 seconds which was to brush it and maybe darken it with a brow powder if I wanted a darker look.
I’ve been only recommending Pinky to all my friends and families who may benefit from having better looking and shaped eyebrows. I tell no lies. Pinky is the best person for permanent eyebrows.

Love this spot, its right next to my house, which is great. Also the place is large, and clean.
They have a huge selection of gel nail polishes, and always add MORE new colors!
They do eyelash extensions & piercings. I have never tried these out, but its always an option and I like that they are on the «cutting edge» of beauty trends. For example, I get gel tips done at this location 2 — 3x a month. They are the only place that I know that do this type of nail extension. and they do a great job! I constantly get compliments on my manicure, which always looks natural, thin and not chunky or fake like most «fake nails.»
They also offer gel pedicures! Which again, not every salon offers. Also, Sophia a nail technician does AMAZING nail designs, its a work of art. truly. Just take a look at her nails, each time I come in they are different and so beautiful. She does everything from 3D flower designs, to tiny detailed drawings. and she can put bling on your nails too! Her art will blow every other nail place in the area out of the water, I garentee !
Which again, the variety is very impressive, and comparable to an upscale salon in Manhattan.
I go to Jen, I really recommend her! She is extremely detail oriented and spends a lot of time filing and shaping the nail to perfection, which I love. I don’t have to constantly check to see if my nails are coming out well, I fully trust her to always do her best and I love that!
Also the giant TV playing MTV music videos is a huge bonus, great station and very fun to watch!

Have been going to salon since they opened and been known Pinky for over 10 years but never will go again. She is the best for waxing and tattoo. But the customer service sucks. Made an appointment over the phone and when came it was obvious that there was no appointment. So pinkys husband checks the book saying it is booked for another day. Simple sorry for misunderstanding on the day would be nice instead i get such a mean response like it is all my fault i walked away saying i will never put my foot in this place. Knowing Pinky for so many years i assume at least a text would be nice.

I only come here for the gel manicures with the same lady but I will be selfish and not name her. She is already hard enough to book only because she’s good at what she does. I’ve seen work of many other ladies and they do a pretty good job too. Prices are fair and don’t expect to get treated like royalty here. Time is money so they will cut the bullshit and get the job done. So far, I have zero complaints about this place.

I love this place. Pinky is awesome, skilled and has great customer service. All the girls here are really nice though Angel is the BEST at doing nails. Make sure you make your appointment. The place is clean, neat and the ambiance is of an upscale nail salon.
