Spafiesta

This location was recommended by my bff. I visited this location and was excited to get serviced. Very professional and they moved very quickly to avoid me waiting around (i was a walk-​in)
Services I paid for:
Pedicure
Facial
Waxing
Pedi: shortest pedicure ever about 20min including the «massage» on my legs. The massage felt rushed and she kept looking around as if to get the attention of potential customers. Thats rude
Facial: the esthetician explained each step and product which was amazing and helpful teaching. Too bad i broke out afterward. I’ll blame my sensitive skin.
Waxing: I am usually loyal to another place but since this is a one stop spa i figured i’d give them a try. The underarm waxing was the worst part of this visit. The wax was too hot! I mentioned this and the woman blew on the wooden stick but to no avail. 3 months later i still have burn marks!
These services were to prepare me for my bff’s wedding the next day. My underarms were so swollen and red sore i could not lift them. I returned to show them and all they offered me was a few drops left of some cooling gel they were about to toss out anyway! Then informed me to purchase some of my own to rid myself of the issues! Poor job!

I love this place! This is my new staple nail salon; the prices are great and they do a very good job. I usually go on Friday evenings, and it usually isn’t crowded, plus it’s clean which is hard to find at lower priced nail salons. The technicians listen and are patient, but the only small gripe I have is that they don’t have the biggest color options, which is fine because I do usually bring my own polish. I’ve only gotten my nails done here so I can’t attest to their other spa services, but I plan to in the future!

Went with the Groupon special. The massage was good, the place was clean with the right amount of light and music. I would go back eventually, as it is not too far from home.

Great, reasonably priced pedicure. Also I’ve gotten a pretty good facial here. But don’t let them do your nails (acrylic). Currently hating how mine look, too short because she had to keep filing the shape to get it right (more square and not rounded)… and my cuticles are all cut up. Waiting for them to grow so I can go back to my regular girl! :’(

I stumbled on this place during a morning walk. I was pleasantly surprised how spacious the salon was upon entering. The staff was very friendly. I got a gel manicure and regular pedicure. At $ 38 the service was a great value. The woman who did my nails (regretfully didn’t catch her name) provided excellent attention to detail. The pedicure was thorough but no exceptional massage, etc. That said, I got the basic service at $ 13. You could add a 10 body work service for $ 10 more. I also got an eyebrow and lip wax. I was very happy with the outcome and at $ 6 a piece another great value. I’ll definitely will be back. Suggest for anyone that wants solid value services.

The groupon price is the same as the regular price. They basically just use groupon as advertisement. As soon as you call/​arrive they suggest that you dont get the groupon. but if youre like me & you shop groupon thru Upromise then get the groupon
Anywho, Ive been here a million times & have always had good service. I just wish so many men didnt go here. The salon is part of my dressing room & I dont like to be seen «undone».

This place is great! I’ve been here 3 times already, first visit was with a groupon and I returned because I really liked the atmosphere, clean and comfortable, wonderful massages, I got a Swedish and lymphatic massage, walked out feeling new. Also went back for a color gel manicure, I love that it’s not just massages, but also facials and a big nail salon as well. And the nail side is separate from the massage side, so you still have a tranquil and serene atmosphere before the massage. The prices are very reasonable. Overall I was really impressed and satisfied with the services and I’m extremely picky. I will definitely be returning and recommending. Thanks again!

Definitely ZERO stars! I had the unfortunate displeasure of visiting this place on Monday evening. After I waited an hour for service, I was told what I wanted could not be done to my nails… a simple reshaping into the «ballerina slipper shape»…and I was not given the pedicure they asked me if I wanted oooh only about 6 different times.
After paying (for only half the service I wanted) the lady doing my nails (the short older Asian lady who sits in the second seat from the door) asked me to relax my thumb to paint the nail and I replied I couldn’t because I was upset… her reply, «You upset, I’M upset»…now tell me why would a person at their job making money be upset at the PAYING CUSTOMER they just denied service and any sort of shred of good customer service to? Anyone… Needless to say I told her she was extremely unprofessional and she said «You don’t like, don’t come back» THE NERVE!!!
I will NEVER EVER go to that disgusting excuse for a nail salon.
:BUYER BEWARE:
:ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK:

Spend your money elsewhere!
My boyfriend and I went there for a couples massage. Mentioning everything we went through would make the review extremely long. To make a long, long story short: It was the worst «massage» ever. A lot of oil and NO pressure, the masseuses whisper to each other during the massage, and you can hear everything that is going on outside of the massage room which can be really annoying when you are trying to relax. The only reason why I give this business 2 stars is because they were really clean.

I have been here twice. The first time was unremarkable — I’ve had better, but my nails were good enough… However, the second time I went was such a negative experience that I will not go again!
I honestly don’t expect much when I go get my nails done. I’m happy to just sit and hang out, the atmosphere doesn’t have to be great but I don’t want it to be a negative experience. However, this last time when I was getting my french manicure, the lady doing my nails spent the entire time yelling back and forth with other staff members who were at the back of the store while she painted my nails. I wouldn’t have minded if the quality of her service was actually decent, but my nails came out awful — they had jagged bits off the tip because she hadn’t filed them down properly and the french manicure chipped within a day. Furthermore, I wasn’t impressed watching her pour one nail polish into another nail polish container in front of me instead of just getting a new one. The place seemed especially dirty, and as I sat there, I swear that 2 or 3 clients came in to complain about gel + shellac nails that chipped within a day of getting them done.
Maybe it was just an off day for them, but I’m not going back again and I wouldn’t recommend the place to anyone.

I really liked the atmosphere here. Nicely decorated and tranquil environment.
I got a deep cleanse facial from Jody. The room I was in was very quaint and relaxing.
She made sure I was comfortable
She did a good job on my facial. My skin looked hydrated and purified after
Two things I didn’t like were the highly priced moisturizer Inquired about but declined after seeing the cost. The second thing was I waited for a good few minutes before anyone came out to greet me.
Other than that I enjoyed my experience and would go back. The facials are all super affordable and less than what you’d pay downtown.
Overall very nice spa. Check it out.

Ok so here’s the deal.
Every couple months me and my bf will go indulge and pick up a couples massage. So I find a groupon– cross reference Unilocal.And decide we are going here. I called in the morning and scheduled for a 6pm couples massage.
So they actually tell me I can buy the groupon there instead of online — big fucking mistake.
So here’s how it goes. $ 97** for a 75 min lymphatic massage. Aka let me barely put any pressure on you and oil you up.
So we get there. Go into the first massage room and get under the sheets.
So it begins. All good until 20 mins in a RUDE ASS EMPLOYEE OPENS THE DOOR AND STARTS HAVING A CONVO WITH THE THERAPISTS. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. And it wasn’t a 2 min question it was a full blown 15 mins. WTF. So whatever then Mai ling and her coworker start talking. Like seriously? THEN to top it off above the massage room there were kids running around upstairs. Like RUNNING A MARATHON.
Anyways they finish. We go out to pay. Tell me why it’s 114. Fucking rip off.
Whoever has rated this place a 5 star is definitely having a brain spasm.

I mainly come here for facials with Jody– she is absolutely amazing! She is very thorough, explains what she is doing, and does not push products/​services on you. I wish I could visit her more often, but I am grateful for the times that I can. I have also gotten mani/​pedi here and I dont have any complaints. The place is a nice size and airy. Everyone is very friendly and professional.

I went here a few weeks ago for a pedicure. At first everything seemed OK until I started to notice how dirty the place was & the nail technician’s bad habits. First of all they do not clean their tools thoroughly. The nail files & the nail buffers are dirty. You can easily sanitize them between clients by spraying them with sea breeze and brushing off all the nail «dust» from the previous client. I didn’t allow the tech to trim my cuticles or cut anything else. Basically I just let her change my polish since I was sooo grossed out. The towels they use on your feet & on your hands have seen better days. They’re old, grey looking and haven’t been washed in bleach & hot water EVER ! Just when I thought things couldn’t get worst, I noticed my nail tech went ahead and started someone else’s pedicure (while my feet were under the dryer) WITHOUT CLEANING OR DISINFECTING the tools she just used in me!!! This place is right around the corner from my apt & I will NEVER go back !! I’d rather take the subway to midtown, pay more money and not walk out worried I caught some E-​COLI /​EBOLA infection on my feet. By the way, I’m a nail technician myself & I’m extremely aware of the proper «protocols» to protect yourself and your clients. SpaFiesta misses the mark BIG TIME. Stay away from this place …

I have been here a couple of times with my mom while she gets her nails and eyebrows done, and she always comes out looking amazing. I like the environment– it’s very clean, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming.
I decided to get a facial and my eyebrows waxed before heading out on a 3 week backpacking trip, and made an appointment for today. Man oh man am I glad I did! I got an amazing Deep Cleansing facial from Jody– I swear I look like a different person and I almost started laughing at my reflection because I was so startled! Everything was really clean and Jody was so kind, friendly and professional, especially when she was extracting all of the gunk out of my face. The facial also includes and brief but relaxing and thorough massage on your face and shoulders.
My eyebrows also came out nicely although unfortunately I can’t remember the name of the technician who performed the service for me.
I will definitely be going back, especially because you can’t beat the price for the facial ($ 50)! Go and ask for Jody! You won’t be disappointed.

I had the BEST facial from Jody today. I received the offer initially through Groupon.
At first I set my appointment for 5:30pm and I was called back for a reschedule at 6:30. That was too late for me so we settled on 6:15. I arrived exactly then but wasn’t seen until 6:40. The lobby waiting area is very crisp and comfortable. There’s tea available and water with lemon/​cucumber; simply a very nice setup. Other than that the facial itself (I received the the chemical peel and the facial) was very thorough. Jody walked me through most of the things she was doing so that was nice also. She took the whole 75 mins and reeeeeallly put work into my facial lol massaging, cleaning, extracting, exfoliating– the works! It also came with a nice shoulder and back massage too which was great! The environment was perfect with nice calming music playing in the room. I’ll definitely visit again! Even with the appointment mixup I still give the experience/​atmosphere 5 stars.
[Ps if you’ve never had an extraction done on your face then PREPARE! It definitely hurts! I’ve done them before with my actual dermatologist so it’s not just this place — for those who may be new. That was the only uncomfortable part, but that’s normal anywhere you go.]

I still haven’t found a perfect nail salon in the area, and it bums me out. I called ahead to see if they were busy, and they said to come right in. When I got there, they told me to pick a color and take a seat. All pedicures are given in spa chairs which is nice, but I stated I only wanted a regular so I don’t know if that was why I was relegated to a non-​massage spa chair, or if none of the chairs work. When they finished my pedicure, you switch seats to the manicure area in regular chairs at tables that have the UV lights built in. The same person who did your feet does your hands so there aren’t any disputes over tips. It’s nice for them, but makes it take way longer than I have time for. I was there for over 2 hours for a regular mani pedi!
Then comes the service. Since they lied and it was super busy, I was obviously stuck with someone who had no idea what she was doing. If you’re going to bother cutting my cuticles, then actually get in there. When I mentioned it to her, she told me she was newer and didn’t trust herself. I asked to have a different person work on me at that point since other technicians had finished by then. The new person then made at least one digit on each hand and feet bleed by cutting the cuticle too deep. I would flinch every time she cut too deep and she told me to hold still. When it came to my hands, I had yet another person work on me and she completely butchered my nail shape. I need my nails shorter since I work in a medical setting, and I can’t risk popping a glove. I told her short, and rounded square. She went ahead and cut them as short as possible to the point where my nails aren’t even or symmetrical. There wasn’t anything left to try to file into a rounded square. There was one finger in which she wasn’t gripping the clippers right and tried to clip the meat of my thumb rather than the nail. The switched technicians on me yet again because if I’m going to go through the trouble of paying to get my nails done, I get hard to paint colors available only at the salon. The fourth and last person to work on me did the actual color, and was pretty good. It’s still a little streaky and I’ve had other places that did a better job, but her canvas had been messed up by her previous 3 coworkers.
The only reason I gave this an extra star was for the other technicians that didn’t work on me. All the others at the salon seemed to be regulars. The two male technicians were requested and therefore I had no chance of them working on me. It’s also on the cheap side with a regular mani pedi costing $ 20. I would consider going here again if I could get an appointment with one of the more experienced technicians, but honestly not worth the risk.

Yeah, ok I am a fan of Tammy Taylor nails. Unfortunately Lee’s closed down, and I’m not traveling to Hempstead just to get my nails done. After visiting a couple of nail salons on 89^th, and Madison I just decided to stick to my neighborhood. I got white tips with the pink powder, and two flower charms on each ring finger– this cost me 55 bucks plus a tip. The guy who did my nails even put the UV top coat on for free! I docked one star because of the typical rude Mandarin, Chinese, or Japanese shit talk in front of the customer.

I love this place!!!
A bit pricier than other nail salons in the neighborhood, but worth it! Very clean, no chemical smell (For my ladies whom are pregnant and concerned about that.) and has an upscale feel; My girl is Wendy, she’s so kind, patient and a master at her craft. She pays attention to detail and doesn’t rush. I only get my nails and toes done here… But, the cleanliness makes me want to try other services (Facial).
I’m very picky, once I stumbled upon this place… For nails, ill go nowhere else but here!!! Give them a try, I promise you’ll love it.

Wonderful spa! This place is a breath of fresh air. I had a Living Social deal here for a facial and chemical peel. My appointment was scheduled for 2pm. I ended up having a little extra time earlier in the day. They happily changed my appointment time to accommodate my schedule. I also asked if it was possible to substitute a different service for the chemical peel, and they kindly made a substitution without question. On top of all that, the facial was amazing. I walked out of there feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
