Gypsophila Nail & Spa

Just moved to this neighborhood and had a manicure here for the first time. It lasted over a week without chipping. One of the best I’ve had. Love this spot.

I went 2 weeks ago for a gel manicure and a pedicure and I couldn’t be happier. I have had horrible luck with gel/​shellac manicures in the city and even though I live here 50% of the time, would get it done elsewhere. But no more. I walked in and as it was the middle of the day, there was no other customer. I was treated like a queen. Pillows, nails by one person, pedicure by another, etc. The most important part though, the manicure has lasted easily two weeks and I am looking forward to heading back. I strongly recommend them!

This is, hands down, the best nail salon in Manhattan (and Brooklyn!)
I have been coming here religiously since they opened over a year ago. It is well-​priced ($ 30 mani/​pedi), extremely clean, & every employee is friendly & skilled. And the owner is a doll (she remembers all of her clients). And it’s cutely decorated with soft music playing at all times. And it’s conveniently located off the L/​123 14^th street stop. It’s tiny & sometimes there’s a wait but it’s well worth it & actually kind of charming.
Their specialty pedis are great, they are super thorough with gel & regular manis, and all of their massages are amazing.
Since finding this spot, I’ve moved from TriBeCa to Greenpoint, and have refused to go anywhere else. Just go.

I cannot recommend this place enough, I don’t think I will go anywhere else to get my nails done:
— Owner and staff are extremely friendly and professional. She remembered me on my second visit even after 2 months since my last visit. They are not pushy like other salons who cross-​sell other services. They pay extreme attention to details and never rush it — they make sure your nails look clean and polished even if it takes longer. My manicure lasted for 2 weeks with only very minor chipping.
— Clean equipment
— Cosy atmosphere with soothing music
— Reasonable price
— Complimentary massage while drying (it’s short but hey it’s free!)
— Decent number of colours to choose from

$ 30 mani /​pedi.
Clean, quiet, quaint, relaxing.
Polite staff.
They used clean nail files and buffers.
I went on a weekday afternoon and waited 20 minutes for my turn because there were only 3 women working when I arrived, serving three clients. I had been warned about the wait, so it wasn’t too bad.
They didn’t pressure me to get extra treatments or a massage, like some places do.
I’ll definitely go back.

Really great! My nails still look good 2 days later.

I had Jenny. She was awesome! Atmosphere was really nice. What a pleasant surprise for NYC.

The woman who did the waxing was so rude and annoyed and then they charged a whole different price for the service. Not gong back.

I came here for a pedicure last minute at 8pm on a Saturday night. The staff was super friendly, so nice. The pedicure was great I would definitely recommend going here. It seemed super clean and the woman took her time and I did not feel rushed like I do at many places in the city. The prices are not bad either so I will be back for sure !

I went due to the proximity and the store appearance (cute from the outside), but was sorely disappointed.
It is cleaner than many hole in the wall places downtown (and you pay a little more), but the (nail) skill level and customer experience is not great for the comparable priced salons I have experienced in other areas of manhattan.
I went at a busy time full of walk-​ins, and was rushed and felt uncomfortable the whole time. It seems to attract first timers like me due to the store appearance. I am definitely sticking to to my usual places and staying away. Felt like wasted money and time.

I got a manicure & pedicure by Anju.
Such a nice human being. She was really sweet.
She gave me what I asked & paid for: a manicure & pedicure. And for $ 30 I have to say, I am pretty happy!
I don’t know how long it is gonna last though, but the result is what I expected. Clean.

I want to like them because I live very close, but I’ve had 2 different gel manicures here and neither were good. This most recent one chipped within 2 days and chipped on 4 fingers within a week. Normally I can get gel manicures to last 4+ weeks

I came here because of the great Unilocal reviews to get a gel fill. Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience as a lot of people on here. The girl who did my nails had absolutely NO IDEA what she was doing! She was clearly untrained with the electrical tools and I had to stop her from cutting my acrylic nails but she wouldn’t listen and as soon as she saw the nail chipping she laughed it off and finally stopped, understanding that you can’t cut acrylic nails. Then she failed to realize that the nude color I had on was not my actual nail color so when she was about to put on a new gel I had to stop her and point this out. She simply laughed at yet ANOTHER mistake and that’s when I told her to stop. I left the salon with my nails looking like the picture… I would never suggest anyone looking for a gel fill to come here. I did see them do a good job with a gel mani so there’s one star for that.

This is a very quiet, quaint spa in the West Village. Reasonably priced and the massage accompanying my pedicure actually had some umph behind it. I basically only get pedicures for the massage (and I’m too lazy to bend over and handle my own toes), so the massage not being wimpy… major bonus points!

Very nice and clean. A wide variety of colors available including brand new colors from esse. Hand gloves instead of water bowls is a very nice touch!

Located in the West Village, right off of the ½/​3, Gypsophila is an oasis from all the insanity. Once through the door, you walk into a beautifully appointed space, that’s girly and warm, and you’re greeted by Sherry, the Owner (YAY for fabulous, female entrepreneurs!), with a bright smile.
Whenever I come to see Sherry and Susan (my favorite Tech), I opt for the $ 22 manicure + 10 min. massage and I have to say that I feel like $ 1M after that massage!
The Salon is pristine, and they use the Keratin gloves so no ‘icky’ warm-​water bowls.
Another measure of sanitation that I truly appreciate, are the disposable file and buffers that they use – new set for every customer.
The MULTITUDE of colors, both Gel and regular, is really wonderful, and they’re never ‘crusty’ like you find at some salons.
The space is filled with light and can easily accommodate 5 pedicures and 4 manicures at one time (I am bringing my Bridesmaids to Gypsophila in May).
All in all, Gypsophila is a clean, warm, friendly and extremely professional place where women (and men-​why not?) can receive excellent Nail and Spa Services.
Honestly, I have lived in Manhattan for 8 years and I will never go to any other Nail Salon, ever again!

This place is quiet, nicely decorated and clean. Coco was a very professional nail specialist. The team is really welcoming. My Mani-​pedi was so perfect (42 $). The keratin gloves are awesome and the half legs massage was pretty good. I’ll be back soon.

Decided to try Gypsophila nail & spa since my sister and I were in the area and we were both blown away from the wonderful service! Not only was the owner/​manager super sweet but our technicians joean and anju were so delightful. They took their time to make sure we received great service! The space was clean and kept up! Reasonable prices. I would highly recommend this place !

I have never written a review, but I have to for this. This place was amazing – so clean and quiet which is exactly how a nail salon should be. The décor is so cute and the manicure room is separate from the pedicure room. Susan did my nails and her massage was amazing. $ 40 for manicure, pedicure, and massage and they give a loyalty card. This is my new go to place.

According to Wikipedia, Gypsophila is a genus of flowering plants in the carnation family, commonly known as baby’s breath. Good to know! Noticed this place was opening on my way to work yesterday, then stopped in on my way home from work — it was their first day open.
Team was really welcoming and the space is so new and clean. Joanne was my technician and gave me a great mani-​pedi ($ 38) with an add-​on of a callus remover ($ 10). I hadn’t had the remover before but it was really worth it — whole foot is still so smooth and soft. She added on an extra little massage while I was drying, and handled payment before the color went onto my fingers — very nice! Whole experience was efficient and relaxing — I will be back!
