3 stars because they usually do a good job but their customer service can be a little better.

I have been here twice and the first time I got a mani/​pedi by Dora. She was great! I am very picky as I like to get a thorough job done on my feet and I was have to say that she came very close. Great prices I believe that on Sun-​tues a mani pedi is $ 22

I’ve been here several times for waxing. They do a fantastic job and the prices can’t be beat. Definitely a fan.

Small and appeared to be a clean place. Definitely not «posh» by any means. I went here to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed. The lady who serviced me was nice. However, she did not do a thorough job getting the wax residue off my face. The next day, I felt stickiness around my lip area and I’m not sure what product she used when she attempted to clean my face, but my face got itchy and blotchy. I’ve never had that happened before at any other place. I will try a threading place instead.

Hi everyone, Emma is my mom. She came to America years ago all for me. But unluckily, she is going to have a big cancer surgery on the coming Friday, 2÷22÷2013. She needs to stay in hospital for weeks, and probably at home for months after the surgery. So she might not be able to take care of all the customers as before. That is something she concerned about all the time. So if there is any unsatisfactory, please do let us know. And also, thank you all for the understanding!!!

I’m really picky about nails. I’m surprised others thought this place clean. It actually struck me as grimy, but average grimy for a hood spot. Manicure itself was just ok. I doubt I’ll return.

So this place, in terms of décor and cleanliness, is nice. The service, on the other hand, is a completely different story.
At the end of my session, an elderly woman with a walker came in with her own nail polish (a fabulous purple) and wanted just her nails done. She was a bit hard of hearing, and constantly wanted to know the price. The woman doing my nails found her questions hilarious, and kept making fun of her to the other workers in Mandarin. She pretended to be helpful one minute and told the elderly woman that it was «only $ 1 more» for one of the clear nail polishes, which I know she did not really want. In my opinion, she was seriously being taken advantage of!!! Which is unacceptable and seriously dishonest! How repulsive.
At the end of my session, the ugly bitch doing my nails totally yelled out loud, «You did not tip me. You forget!» Ummmmmm. I have NEVER had a person demand a tip from me (in the midst of at least 3 other customers). I found that to be classless and so rude! I paid $ 24 for a mani/pedi…if you deserve a tip, then I would give you one. But after poorly painting my nails, and constantly trying to manipulate me into paying «3 more dollar» for random shitty services, you do not get a fucking tip.
Never going to this place again. Wonder what they charged that innocent elderly woman…
Ugh!

I’m making this review based on their hospitality and work. Professional and did an okay job but they didn’t clip my nails. How do you go to a nail salon as a guy and don’t get your nails clipped? Seriously that Is a problem.

Had a bad experience with the new girl here. She took 1 hour and 45 minutes for a mani/​pedi! She didn’t know how to file nails square or how to do a french manicure so after destroying two of my nails I finally asked someone to help her and the other lady (Maria) took over. She was great. Once I got home I realized how bad my pedicure was. She didn’t even polish the whole nail so currently I’m having them repaint my toes. The lady apologized and did a fabulous job. The only reason this place is getting 2 stars is because of those two ladies. My advice is that the new girl get more training or a new profession.

This spa is like the best ever well at least that I know of. My cousin introduced me to this spa and told me to go here for a Brazilian wax. With it being my first time getting one, I was very concerned. To my surprise the service was great. The lady who was recommended by my cousin to do my Brazilian Wax, Emma, happened to be the manager. She made me feel very comfortable about this private procedure. She is very polite, fun, and makes you feel extremely comfortable. Emma made this experience as less painful as possible and I am very pleased The price was good I paid $ 45 for a full Brazilian wax, which I find awesome. The atmosphere within this small spa is very soothing and friendly. They also do facials, nails, and massages. BY THE WAY EMMA DOES MY EYEBROW TOO AND THEY ARE AWESOME. I ALWAYS RECEIVE COMPLIMENTS FROM THEM.
I am extremely satisfied with this place and wouldn’t change them for any other place. Remember for any services ask for EMMA :)

Clean and friendly, reasonable prices, and multi-​lingual staff — including English! I recommend this place.

I love this nail salon! All the ladies that work there are very friendly, do excellent work and take very good care of you. By far the best salon in Washington Heights. Clean, friendly, relaxing and quality.

This is one of the nicest and cleanest nail salons in Washington heights.
They offer a Mani and Pedi from Mon-​Wed for $ 22.00 and they do not use cheap nail polishes. They have Essie and OPI. Nail polishes are not watered down like in other places in the area.
The ladies are all friendly and very welcoming. My nail tech is Erica but if she is busy i will have any of the other ladies service me. They are all awesome.
They also have facial and massage services and have packages.
Love this place:)
