Yours Spa

Went there as per Unilocal reviews and had an excellent experience with June, who was quick, clean and gave me exactly what I was looking for. Great deal for the price!

Clean, no-​frills spot for a very affordable massage. You should be fine as long as you’re not expecting a soothing and relaxing experience. I was in pain and a lot of discomfort during much of the one hour session, and left feeling like I had just gotten my ass kicked. I know deep tissue is supposed to hurt to certain extent (Particularly when your muscles are really tight) but I left leaving more tense than when I came in. I was incredibly sore about 20 minutes after the massage but let’s see how I feel tomorrow. Hopefully the pain will be worth it…

Very cozy place. It creates the feeling of high end SPA with great jazz music, but without the hefty price. The service is also great, I did a manicure and 15 mins massage, feeling refreshed

It’s not bad. It’s not amazing. Pretty run of the mill gel mani pedi. The gel is too thick. I wanted them done at the same time and they kind of accommodated me. When someone came in for an eyebrow wax, one of the girls left. When she came back, she had forgotten which step she was on and messed up on of the nails. The music was calming. All jazz/​blues classics.

I have been coming here for the last 6 months and have always had great experiences. The staff pay massive attention to detail and are very kind. I have never had manicures and pedicures last as long as they do from this salon. They also have an incredible masseuse!

I had a very good experience here. I chose this spot because it’s a block away from a project I’m working on & the reviews were good.
The place was very cute — tiny but charming, clean & they played really nice music.
They took me right away (it was freezing out & around 3pm on a weekday), but it wasn’t busy.
I told them I didn’t have much time & they said they could get my gel manicure done in 20 min.
Some people like to relax & feel pampered at the nail salon. Not me.
A quick appointment is music to my ears. I’m not one of those people who likes to sit still for hours while getting my nails done. If I had it my way, I’d have one technician per extremity ;) & I would be in & out, all ten fingers & ten toes in 10 min.
Although, I am sure they would have taken their time if asked.
The technician did a great job & I was out in just under 30 min.
Average price.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars rather than 5 is because they didn’t have a large selection of gel color.

Was genuinely pleased with my manicure as a first timer. However, they quoted me a massage for 10 minutes for 10 dollars which I went along with. The massage was extremely painful but the worst part was when they discretely charged me $ 12 instead at the end for it. When I tried to dispute it, they dismissed my allegations and claimed it was supposed to be $ 12 and not $ 10. Really sketchy.

I just randomly visited this place last night, after work. The place looks little bit shady and tiny, but the lady who did my nail, she did great job and friendly. I only did nail, so it cost $ 11 only and the lady did free massage while my nail gets dried

Very Bad Service. I came here with my friend from Germany. They might thought that we are tourist. Too bad for them that I am a good paying customer but now not coming back there again.
The wax was too hot, after i told the lady that it is a little too hot she just said that it has to be like that to remove my arm hair.
I also went for Mani and pedi. Even when I told her that it is a little uncomfortable how she treated my toes, she answered «but I have to work like this»
Would never recommend this place to anyone. There are enough places to go in Manhattan but not yours spa.

Masssage can be hit or miss. It totally depends on who you get. They don’t have padded face rests so your face is stuck in between hard plastic and is not relaxing.

Great place! Got a manicure — the artist was attentive and efficient. It was a good experience and my nails look lovely!

Nice folks who were accommodating to me when I (the jerk) decided I needed a basic mani/​pedi at nearly closing time.
It’s a small place that isn’t too nicely decorated but had all the essentials. The tech asked if I wanted my cuticles trimmed. I quite like that because some may prefer not to have them cut or may not need it. Take for what it might be as well: laziness as it’s near time for her to go home.
Basic mani/​pedi took about 30 mins in total with the same tech. Not the best job but for the decent price and it being so late, I’d go back again if I were ever in the area. Nails stayed put for about a week!

Value and convenience. It was pretty deep and pretty thorough and I walked in and got right on the table. Fantastic for a moment of knotted need!

The Girl that did my manicure and pedicure was really focused on doing her job right. Good attitude all the time, and relaxing vibe.

I’ve been coming here for a while — Peter and his staff are great. Very welcoming and very cozy atmosphere. Most salons give off a very commercial vibe, which I don’t like. It is much more personal here, from the collection of musical records on the wall to the pictures of satisfied clients.
With the recent NY Times expose, you never know what the back story on where these workers come from. Yours Spa is different, with the same family of staff year after year.
Peter and his staff are here for the long run and excellent in taking care of his clients. I highly recommend you give it a shot, particularly if you want great foot rubs with a strong attention to detail.

Very mediocre/​borderline bad pedi. Water for feet was cold, filing job weak and the service was average. I also (like many reviewers) can’t believe anyone would rate this higher than 3 stars. There are many other affordable spots in the city that do a MUCH better job than this place.

I decided on Yours Spa after noting their 4 star rating on Unilocal.
I recommend going anywhere else other than here. I swear, you can get a better manicure at any other salon.
I got a mani-​pedi for $ 28. Not cheap, but decently priced.
My manicure and pedicure experience was AWFUL.
The lady did not cut my cuticles and did not apply the polish evenly. So, now I have a botched manicure and pedicure that I am contemplating getting redone at a different salon.
STAY AWAY.
It’s a tiny salon for 3 pedicure chairs and 2 manicure tables.
There’s also a back room for facials and massages, but I am staying away at all cost. You should too.

The quest for a great pedi continues…
This review is just for the overall ambiance, and pedicure services. I get my nails done elsewhere. The salon is small, looks a little bit like it could use an update. The walls are covered in old vinyl records and covers. None of it makes sense. Kind of kitschy, cramped and dingy. Maybe the records are hiding imperfections in the walls? There are about 4 pedi chairs and 4 mani chairs sort of crammed on top of each other. They have a small selection of Essie and OPI colors.
The pedicure shape (I like my edges rounded) and painting was very good. She listened to what I asked her to do. Problem she barely touched any other part of my feet. So when I got home I had to exfoliate them myself. I image there massages are great based on other reviews but since this place gets pulled up every time I search for pedis in my hood, I thought I’d let other Unilocalers know.

This review is based on a manicure experience, but after I went I heard about someone having a poor waxing experience here as well.
I’m VERY surprised this place averages a 4.5 stars. Yes, you can walk right in — but does that mean that other people are avoiding the place? I didn’t have an awful experience, rather I just sat there thinking «meh». Have had MUCH better manicures for cheaper than $ 11. The woman didn’t seem to pay much attention to detail. Nails weren’t filed straight and they almost seemed to be rushing (although no one was waiting)
It’s a very tiny, no frills place. Which is normally ok, but it didn’t boast cleanliness in my book. It wasn’t outwardly dirty, but usually places peel their tools out of plastic or disinfectant — not here. They were just sitting around. Of course, they may have been washed just prior, but I don’t know that.
The nail drier was a portable piece of plastic that the woman pulled out from under the nail table.
Also, I’m used to a quick back rub when my nails are drying, but they don’t do that here. Which isn’t a deal breaker — just a nice touch of customer service.
All in all –not awful, but I wouldn’t recommend this place.

This place is the best!
The manicures are long-​lasting and you get a really good back or fot rub included (the massage is so nice (my husband has started to follow me here and while I get my nails done he takes a massage). And also — the prices are amazing!
