Iris Nail

I got my first ever mani/​pedi here. It was okay. The problem was it was just pricey…
$ 47 for the service… There’s like a billion places within a few blocks that charge less than $ 30. Our fault I guess. Even the place next door that looks MUCH nicer (everything is newer and cleaner), charges only $ 3 more for the same service.
I liked my first mani/​pedi but my wife agrees. We won’t be coming back here anymore at this price!

my friend and I wee walking around our neighborhood looking for a cheap mani pedi for a wedding we had. Since so many places in the area do $ 25 – 30 mani pedis we knew we would find somewhere.
I walked up to the door and asked the price of a mani pedi and was told «$ 25». I repeated «twenty five dollars?» and she said «yes». I repeated it to my friend and we decided «great!».
My mani pedi was fine. Nothing special. My technician wasn’t very friendly and the massage portions were just OK.
So when I got my. check for $ 45 (FORTY FIVE DOLLARS) I was shocked. I explained there must have been a mistake. The woman was incredibly rude and refused to listen to me. If I had cash I would have just left $ 35 and been done with it but had to pay by card (stupid me for not having cash).
For $ 45 I would go to TenOverTen or really any nice spa. I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 5 years and never experienced something. like this. You can’t just bait and switch your customers with a price $ 20 lower.
if it was just a $ 5 I would have been fine with it. Even $ 10. But a $ 20 difference is substantial. BE CAREFUL.

I’ve been back here multiple times and can say that my experiences have been positive for the most part. It depends on who does your manicure, and the manager is clearly eager to please customers.

I love it here. One of my favorite salons I have been to in the city. A little expensive but great!

They charge 36 for a basic mani pedi. When you ask to remove callouses on your feet, they say that is extra although some is part of it. They make you ask and act like they are doing ;you a favor if they do their job. They should have a no cell phone policy which they don’t The technicians still talk to each other as though they are gossiping about you. The only advantage and reason to pay more is it is quieter than the bargain places. could be much better.

Finding the best waxing and facials in NY at the right price may take years. I found Larisa 12 years ago and haven’t strayed since. She provides her eastern European technique facials with not just authority but great care. I get compliments all the time on my skin thanks to Larisa. In addition she also is an expert at waxing quickly and effectively. She is a true gem who truly cares about her clients. I happily recommend her to anyone.

$ 30 for a mani/​pedi. Walked in on a Monday afternoon and she started right away. Great foot scrub and massage. Good selection of nail colors. Will definitely come back. Attention to nail shape. Autoclave machines are behind the nail stations. Very clean.

The manicure and pedicure looked fine and the staff pleasant enough, but as I was sitting there with my nails drying I saw my technician just rinse off the cuticle cutters in the sink before giving someone eIse a manicure with the same tools. Am really grossed out right now, will never go back.

BEST NYC WAX and FACIAL Award goes to Larisa at Iris Nail, Gramercy, NYC (#258 3^rd Avenue)
Larisa is a gem — THE BEST ever wax and facial in NYC — the reason I only come to her and keep coming back.
I signed up for Unilocal to write and share with others this glowing review and only the highest recommendation.
I am a native New Yorker. Ever since my first appointment with Larisa, I will never go anywhere else (Fellow Unilocalers, please note I have tried many others before her).
As a client of Larisa’s for several years, I highly recommend any and all beauty treatments with Larisa. Larisa’s immaculate attention to detail, skin training/​expertise, savoir faire, scheduling flexibility and professional demeanor yield excellent results every time. I have very sensitive, combination skin. That said, my needs are always met, beyond expectation.
I Never have seen ingrown hairs from waxing. Larisa’s excellent results last for weeks. Her vibe is always positive, uplifting, tranquil and inspiring.
Every time, I leave relaxed, renewed and glowing.
Keep it smooth, NY!
Book your next appointments with Larisa — you’ll be happy you did.
Larisa is The Best.

Leaving this review for the esthetician who recently joined the Iris team. I have been a client of Larissa’s in New York for the past four years and she just recently moved to Iris.
She has training as a nurse and so she knows skin inside and out — my face has a combo of dry skin and tight pores which caused me some major cystic acne flare ups over the past few years. Seeing Larissa on a regular basis has gotten my skin back into excellent shape. She’s caring, gentle, and knows how to do extractions effectively without leaving marks and red spots.
She’s also the only person I trust with waxing. Eyebrows, «down there,» she makes everything easy!
Her space is cozy, clean and relaxing in a non-​descript area in the rear of the salon. I would recommend calling for an appointment.
As a bonus, the mani/​pedis here are pretty darn good and priced well for the neighborhood — so you can get everything done at once if you want.

Unfortunately, my 2^nd experience here left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I came in and asked for «nail take off» to which she asked if my nails were gel – they weren’t. She then ushered me over to a nail tech who began taking off my nail color. I then asked (again) how much the charge would be and she replied «$ 20». $ 20?! To soak my nails in acetone? What a rip off. I politely left and went 2 doors down to SJ nails where they charged me a reasonable $ 10 to do the very same thing.

Iris Nail Salon found a gem in Larisa, the amazing aesthetician. I have been a customer of Larisa for over 15 years — she is the absolute best at all types of waxing and facials. Her waxing is painless, gentle, yet effective, and quick! She is professional, experienced, savvy and smart and up on the latest technology and advances in skincare.

If you are looking for a place to go for everything from waxing to facials/​skin treatments in a relaxing environment, come to Iris Nails! I have been a client of Larissa for over 6 years. I can’t describe to you the calmness, relaxation, and absolute bliss I feel when I see her for my facial. She is amazing professional, and a perfectionist in every sense of the term. She is always up to date with the latest technology and knowledge to keep my skin glowing and immaculate. Skin care is so important and she has absolutely perfected the art. Waxing is painless and quick. Again, she is spot on and I won’t trust anyone else with the shape of my brow. Best day of my month is going to my appointment with her. Go see her at Iris Nail! You will be glad you did!!!

I give my 200% of satisfaction for a facial treatment I got here. Larisa is a very profecional cosmetologist. She uses all latest technology to make you look much younger, to make your skin glowing. Nice and clean place, moderate prices, very friendly personnel. If you love yourself defenatelly go to Larisa.

Awesome massages! $ 12 for 10 minutes and they really do give you a lot of pressure. Also they have a $ 30 mani pedi special.

So much competition in this area, it wasn’t terrible but wasn’t a relaxing experience either… technicians talking very loudly and don’t hide disappointment if you don’t upgrade your services.

I just got an eyebrow wax here today (just moved to this side of the city) and they did an awful job. My left eyebrow is shorter than my right and they missed at least a dozen hairs. I’ve been getting my eyebrows waxed for…15? years now and this is the worst they have ever come out.
I won’t ever go back.

$ 30 mani/​pedi!!! And seriously, it’s underpriced. What’s the catch? Well you have to get there before 6:30. I’m in real estate and I think the real reason they keep their prices lower is because their rent is lower then compared to Cleo’s (across the street) location. They provide a beautiful service and the setting is relaxing and very clean. Kim is THE BEST. I fell in love with this place today after having Cleo ruin my long beautiful nails (and their higher prices are not even worth it!). Kim fixed me up and now I’m loyal to this salon and Kim! Yay!

I love that the place is open till 10PM, which means I can get a mani/​pedi even if I don’t get out of work at 6PM. The space is also nice and quiet which is relaxing.
