I paid $125 plus tip for acrylic removal and a builder gel manicure. It’s been 12 days and three nails are already chipping at the corners. I don’t mind paying that price, but I expect the quality to match. It’s disappointing because they’re so close to my house, but I’d rather trav to Bronxville or Tuckahoe for a Russian manicure at a lower price if it means better results.
Walked in for a gel mani pedi and was able to get started right away. We got spa pedicure for $65 and it was throughly relaxing. Then I showed the nail tech my reference photo for my nail design. The final look was better than the original. After tax and tip I paid $200 for everything. Highly recommended!
I have been coming to beauty cafe exclusively for almost two years and refuse to go anywhere else for my nails! Heather is so meticulous with her manicures and a true artist, the pedicures are thorough and relaxing. I have gone to literally every nail salon in the area over the past 10 years and there is truly no competition as the level of service here is so much greater than anywhere else in the neighborhood. She also has chrome powder and cat eye and keeps up with all the current nail trends. If you need a clean gel manicure that will last, this is the place to come but make sure you call ahead as the schedule can fill up quickly especially on weekends.
Beauty Cafe is a refreshment and stands out among the many of nail salons in the area. Not that I have been to every nail salon, but Heather has clearly set herself apart in many ways. She takes her business and craft very seriously and that’s something I truly appreciate. One thing I love is how time conscious Heather is; you respect her time and she respects yours. You’re not just another paying customer but there’s personal interest shown. And as far as nails goes, Heather is a perfectionist. She prides herself on neat, precise work. I have always struggled with weak nails that chip easily but Heather has tried to work with me and do what’s best to enhance the longevity of my gel sets. The staff does their best to work up to the standard that Heather has set for her salon. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
I decided to try beauty cafe back in January as a treat for my birthday and I assumed it would the usual, get my nails done once in a blue moon, break or chip my nails at some point and try again months later. That was when I met Heather, we had a brief consultation regarding what service I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on what she felt I should get and I trusted her expertise. I have been going to see her faithfully at least twice monthly since then and she not only makes my nails look amazing, but she lets me go crazy with the colors and always tops it off with her creativity through a nail design to bring it all in. Heather has literally saved my nails. I used to chew them and even when I got them done at different places in the past I've always managed to break, chip or bite the extensions off. I have only had my nail chip twice in the last 6 months and Heather is always so accommodating to help me out if she can between my appointments. I frequently get complimented on her work and every visit it's like catching up with a friend. She's very sweet and polite but also honest when I'm getting too crazy with the color mixes and isn't afraid to give her honest opinion and offer suggestions. I truly appreciate her time and effort. She's a great multitasker but she knows almost all of her clients by name and it adds a great personal touch to the services offered at Beauty Cafe.
