Spruce & Bond – Upper West Side

wonderful professional experience in a relaxing atmosphere

Such a friendly, competent staff and a lovely space. So glad I found them, and my scrawny little brows are all the better for it! Great find.

I’ve just started getting laser hair removal from a Gilt deal. The space is very nice and customer service exceeds my experience at several other laser hair spas. It’s too soon to tell how my results will turn out but appreciate their efforts to make a not-​so-​fun experience rather pleasant.

Updating my review to 2 stars as the manager Jessica resolved this by issuing a refund. Only 2 stars because she refunded it onto my mums travel card she paid with that has since been stolen so the card no longer exists. When I asked to have the refund put onto another card she said no she can’t do that! At this stage I couldn’t care about the money, I will tell every person I know to avoid this place at all costs and every spruce and bond for that matter.

Great location: clean and friendly staff. They use great wax which does not irritate my skin. Ildi is great for Brazilians waxes, very thorough and little pain!

Been coming to spruce & bond for about 2 years now. Came here to check out the new location. Overall consistent with the value of service. My brows are extremely hard to work with as they are very thick and all over the place. I’ve been to MANY places and only the experts here know how to shape my brows without making them too thin. I brought my wife here to gets her brows and laser treatments done, and she’s obsessed.
If you want service that’s a step above the rest, come to spruce & bond!

Absolutely BEST hair removal studio I’ve ever step foot in! This location is fairly brand new and IMPECCABLE with amazing customer service. When I say it’s TOP NOTCH, it’s rings true. The wax is a blend that is more comfortable on the skin as opposed to regular brands that other spas are used to using. My favorite service thus far is definitely the underarm and bikini laser. My first session already yielded amazing results and I can’t wait for my next visit.

OMG… this place is GORGEOUS! I’ve been going to pretty much all of the other Spruce & Bond locations and I will go out of my way to come here if I can get an appointment. The new space is so beautiful… and super clean and they don’t double dip (so important, especially when you are getting brazilians! Nothing more scary than the double dip X-​0) The staff was awesome, super friendly but not too pushy. I’m a beauty junkie so I’ve obviously done all the services here:
Brows — They do tweezing only (which actually doesn’t hurt as bad as you would think, they are soooo fast) I loved getting my brows done here at the station right in front of the windows. I’ve found that other places (that are more dark) I end up having quite a few hairs that I have to tweeze on my own since they missed them but I didn’t have that issue here! At the end of the session they do a quick touch up with their makeup line which makes a huge difference. #browpowder
Wax — I’ve had my arms waxed, my legs waxed and a brazilian and let me tell you there is a reason why I only go to Spruce & Bond — They have the BEST wax (one hard and one soft). I have super sensitive skin and most cheap waxes make me break out or give me a rash but I have had no issues here.
Laser — They got me… but do I regret it? Absolutely not. I actually used to go to american laser about 10 years ago and paid a boatload more and did not see results even close to this. I’m doing laser now on my bikini and underarms. I’ve had about 4 treatments so far (one more to go!) and I literally think there are 10 hairs left in total. There is really no reason why anyone should not at least get their underarms lasered. It’s so freeing to not have to worry about stubble and o… by the way my armpits are super soft now :)
Bottom line. Check them out, get your appointments in before everyone else finds out about them and they have a 4 week waiting list… wait maybe I shouldn’t be writing this review ;)

I loved getting my brows done here! When I first started getting my brows done over a decade ago, I started with waxing. A few years later I moved onto threading. But my appointment in the BrowLab (yes, they mean business) showed me a new option — tweezing by a professional. It was way less painful than I expected, and I think this method allows for more precision. The Brow Lab is in the front of the salon and it’s just a different (and better) experience than local threading places. This salon is very clean and wonderfully decorated. The woman who did my brows — Caroline — was super nice too. I recommend checking them out.
