Vanity Beauty Bar

Siedah was amazing!!! She listened to my idea and gave suggestions to make my nails as beautiful as possible. I think these are the best nails I’ve ever had! Salon is clean and professional

Let me start off by saying I am serious about my nails, so I was more than thrilled when this spot opened up in my neighborhood. So happy I decided to book an appointment. Vanity Beauty Bar BK definitely passed the vibe check. I have been going to this nail salon for the past 3 years now, and the main reason why is because of Krissy. She is a fabulous nail technician, professional, attentive, and most importantly, artistically talented. Krissy can recreate any inspo pic you bring to her and shape your nails to the gawds!!!

To say that I am disappointed with my experience at Vanity Beauty Bar would be an understatement. If I could leave this review and give them 0 stars, I would. I’ve gotten my nails done at Vanity 4 times — both manicures and a pedicure. My experience has been subpar every single time. I chose to try different nail techs and give them another shot. Big mistake. I went in on Thursday and got medium length gel x nails. Two of the nail forms were narrower than the rest, making my set unbalanced and uncomfortable. By the following Tuesday, two of my nails were lifting and another had come off. I returned to the shop on Wednesday to have them soaked off for an additional $15+. I did not want to risk infection by having water get trapped underneath my nails. I spent a total of $120+ for the worst set of nails I’ve ever had — and they did not even last a week. If you’re anything like me, you appreciate quality service and customer service. Unfortunately, you will not get either at Vanity Beauty. Please do yourself a favor and choose somewhere else.

Would give 0 stars if possible. I’ve called these people MULTIPLE times about getting a refund for a program that IM NOT ENROLLED IN because I “didn’t meet the qualifications” & everyone has taken my number down and “spoke” to the person who told me this news, and still nothing. I’m STILL getting charged every month almost $200 and as a broke late teen who works a part time minimum wage job, I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO SPARE. Do not sign up for their nail coarse because if you don’t meet requirements they’ll just ignore your refund. I’ve already paid almost $300+ dollars & im not happy about it!! Will not be enrolling for my license when the time comes!! Oh yeah and they said they’ll call me back to help me find other programs for practice on being a nail technician and still no call back.. that was a month ago.. two days before I was supposed to be in this program with bought materials thinking I was gonna be in this school.. such TERRIBLE communication and no cares about peoples funds being spent on THEM Hope this helps the right people.

AVOID THIS PLACE. Their customer service is atrocious! These people change my reservation 3 different times at the last minute. I called to cancel a day in advance because I hate having a different nail tech everytime I'm there. Krissy purposely changed me the full price of a service I did not receive. This place is trash and they make up prices as they go. Aviod at All COST!!!

Bad, very bad, many of them are not certified and do a bad job and they also charge you a lot for something that is not worth it.

I love this space. Ever since I started getting my nails done there K can see a difference. I love my nail tech who not only do my nails but also help me learn how to take care of them. She provides tips and takes care of them as well. I love that it is Black-owned. If you have not yet checked them out.

This place has the worst management. Highly unethical.

Sep 06, 2024

This place is a no-go. They have an extremely high turnover of nail techs. I made an appointment with Krissy. She canceled the appointment with less than 24 hours notice. She did not apologize. I walked into the salon, and she was there doing someone else's nails. Do not go here!!

relaxing and clean but price doesn't match quality of work unfortunately

UPDATE: After nearly 3 years of supporting this establishment, I have stopped getting my nails done here. The staff turnover is horrible and management takes no accountability. Management also openly berates their staff in front of customers making visits constrained and uncomfortable. After contacting management to advise, I was told that the unprofessional occurrence was "none of my business". Duly noted and I'll be taking that same business elsewhere. Do better. After a horrible experience at Jolie Nails up the block (PSA - avoid like the plague); I've FINALLY found my new nail spot. I heard great things about Vanity Bar, but never got lucky enough to score an appointment (definitely a good sign that their clientele is loyal and keeps them busy). The universe stepped in and I was able to get an appointment online after someone canceled! The vibes, music and service were great! Everyone is personable and Mya gives a mean gel mani/pedi. Already booked my next appointment, and will refer family and friends. Now more than ever it's important to support black businesses. Thank you Vanity Bar!

As a loyal customer I couldn’t believe I was treated like this. I also expected the owner to hold his staff to a higher standard as well. They want to be considered a “high end nail salon” but far from it. The nail tech Krissy gives so much attitude it’s ridiculous. The staff talks about their own customers in front of other customers all day and honestly their work is not all that. I only went because it was convenient. I started booking over the phone and never had an issue till I canceled an appointment one time. I wasn’t told by the receptionist that there would be a cancellation fee. I reached out to the owner to help with my next booking because Krissy had an attitude when I called the store to book. Literally the day before my appointment after three weeks of already booking my new appointment they told me I need to come in to pay my cancellation fee or leave a card on file, if not they will cancel my appointment. I told them I will pay for it tomorrow during my appointment because I couldn’t come to the store and I didn’t feel comfortable giving them my card info at that point. It was so much back and fourth with the owner over 25$ that I told myself after this appointment I will go back to the Chinese nail salons till I find another black owned business to support. I even wrote that in the reviews after sending the owner my 25$ for the cancellation fee. Because he didn’t like the fact that I said that, he canceled my appointment for the following day and cashapp me back my 25$.. Which was very feminine of him if you ask me. He told me thank you for my previous services with them and that I could no longer book with them. But it’s alright there’s new nail salons opening up in the area, I’ll be alright

Great service from Franchesca....book her!

I found my New Nail Salon (Vanity) in Brooklyn. Very happy with the service and the result. I’m hooked like the saying says once you go black you don’t go back. 😊

Feb 06, 2024

I have finally found my new nail place. Lynn did an amazing job on my nails and feet!!!!! It’s clean, great music, great atmosphere, just a vibe altogether. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. And it’s black owned????? Even better. 💜

Feb 06, 2024

I visited Vanity for the first time in March 2023. I was very pleased with their level of professionalism. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted politely. My service with Krissy was simply AMAZING!! She was punctual, attentive, and answered all my questions. She delivered beautiful and excellent work to both my hands and feet. I have found the nail salon for me.

Feb 06, 2024

I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and have been very satisfied for the time being. The owners are very nice and welcoming and I’d recommend most of the girls there. I always feel welcomed by Krissy and Francesca and they’re my go to girls for any of my services.

This establishment's priority is not good customer service. I’ve never received such bad customer service in this capacity in a nail salon, not even at non-black-owned establishments. Unfortunately, this is a black-owned business. I have been going to Vanity Bar for 6 months. I had my first appointment with Francesca. She was great energy, so I continued booking my appointments with her. I was in need of a fill-in but unfortunately, Francesca was unavailable, so I booked with any available nail tech. My appointment was with Krissy. I arrived at my appointment last week Thursday, and was told by Krissy to wash my hands. When I sat down at her table I said “hello” to her, but she said nothing back. She was busy on her phone, so I assumed that maybe she didn’t hear me. I noticed she had a nice design on her nails, I asked to look at it and told her that her nails were really cute. She said nothing back, she continued filing my nails. A few minutes past by. I noticed that one of my nails that had previously lifted, she clipped and filed down. I was glad that it did not have to be replaced with a new nail. So just to make conversation, I stated “I thought I would of had to get rid of this nail” and giggled. She looked at me like I was crazy. This is when I realized she was just off. She looked like she didn’t want to do my nails or she was just irritated that I was there. It’s an uncomfortable feeling to be in an establishment, paying over $85 for a service and receiving such unpleasant customer service. Once my fill-in was completed she asked me what design did I want and rudely said “You didn’t add nail art” I went straight to my camera roll to show her a pic of the nails that I wanted. I guess I wasn’t moving fast enough for her so she immediately, and rudely asked again. She looked at the design and asked “What color is that?!” I said I don’t know. She looked behind her, irritated at the gel polishes, grabbed some color swatches and she slammed them down. I chose a color, and she picked up the nail swatch and made a face. She then started to paint my nails. After doing 4 fingers she stated “I hate doing French.” I was literally over the whole experience. This turned me off from supporting this establishment. I will never come back here again. She was just so unprofessional. She is not even aware or conscious of what to say or not say. The customer service is very poor. You usually hear them gossiping and talking about each other and other customers. I work in management at a company, Krissy is not a person I would want to have working for my business. This girl has to be a family member or close friend of the owners, because by the looks of the other reviews she has received similar criticism since 2020. You would think she would at least have great nail tech skills. The acrylic is so thick and wide. She did well with the nail art though. Im not sure why she is still working here. This says a lot about the management. If you dare to come here avoid booking with Krissy.

Was unable to get a appointment as my timeframe and their opening time didn’t work. They have an easy appointment site where you’re apply to pick service and technician. The photos provide on google show their progressive talent.

Feb 06, 2023

Feb 06, 2023

Krissy never disappoints!! She always executes my ideas to perfection!!

Feb 06, 2023

Lisa is amazing. I can't love my nail art enough. Friendly, professional business. Started coming to Vanity during the pandemic and I'm glad I found them

Feb 06, 2023

Love this place! The vibe is welcoming and the staff is talented! I got Apres nails with half moon mani. I’m def returning!

Feb 06, 2023

My nails look exactly like the inspo. Thanks so much Mya! Great job!

Feb 06, 2023

Racist and rude customer service. Kept laughing at me and tried to outcast me from the salon. Breaks my heart that in 2023 people are still like this !

Feb 06, 2023

Super clean, cute Black-owned nail salon! I am very happy with the way my nails came out. I got my soft gel extensions done with Krissy and would def recommend her.

Feb 06, 2023

The customer service was great. Sam and Franchesa were very friendly and pleasant.

Feb 06, 2023

This is an amazing place I highly recommend it. They are really gentle with you hands and you feet! Vanity Beauty Bar is by far the best nail salon I’ve been to!?!?!

Feb 06, 2023

This place is my first and last nail salon. You HAVE to book with either Melissa (@talknailstome) or Sam (idk her @ lol) both are so wonderful, talented, kind, welcoming, and skilled. I am literally typing this with a 3 week old structured gel French mani with not a single chip!!!! Melissa and Sam are the funniest nail techs and always perfectly execute whatever mani I have in mind but also introduce me to new designs and colors that are out of my comfort zone but I end up loving. The beauty bar has the best energy, ambiance, and smells. It also is so reassuring seeing how sanitary everything is and seeing the instruments cleaned in front of me before they touch my hands. Love love love this place and my two beautiful nail techs <3. I send all my friends, family, and patients here.

Feb 06, 2023

This place is terrible they over price for low quality work. They are very rude and have a lot of attitude. They dont start on time and are sloppy with their work

Feb 06, 2023

This was my first visit to this salon. It was clean, bright and welcoming. I was seen right on time. Samantha was very nice and answered the many questions I had! 😅 She did a great job! I recommend you check this place out👍🏾 I've already scheduled my next appointment! will definitely return 👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Very professional staff and clean work space!
