About

HQ Nails opened in Rockaway in April 2017 in a space that was empty before the salon was built out. It was founded by a nail professional with more than 10 years of salon experience, and the salon says customer satisfaction comes first and that each client receives personalized attention.

Services are grouped into three areas. Essentials covers regular and deluxe manicures and pedicures, a luxury organic spa gel pedicure, dipping powder, gel color, polish changes, gel color and dipping removal, acrylic or gel soak-off, and non-square nail shaping. Enhancements cover acrylic, UV gel, Gel X and LCN full sets and fill-ins, along with pink and white options. The home page also lists solar, IBD gel and SNS dipping.

Art Designs are custom and range from rhinestone work to freehand painting. Options include Swarovski crystals, marble, foil paper, chrome, holographic and 3D art. Pricing for art designs varies, so clients are asked to check with the salon for details.

The Volcano Spa pedicure is a five-step, single-use treatment made by La Palm Spa Products and is offered in four scents: Romance, Honey Pearl, Orange No. 5 and Tropical Citrus. The salon added a ventilation exhaust system to limit chemical odor. Hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 7:00pm, and the salon is closed on Sundays and on major holidays.

The salon focuses on quality work and customer service, with personal attention for each client.
