Purchased the package pictured in February for a trip to NYC in May. Paid for 4 hours of service. I was notified the day before the nail tech was injured and no one else was available but they would 'make it up to us'. Ok, disappointing, but accidents happen, etc. Arrived at the spa. Had to wait while a previous customer complained about their services and charges (Red Flag!). When it was my turn I was told "Oh, we can't do the sugar scrub, we don't have a shower here".....And the massage therapist was late "He always shows up". I was promised a 90 minute massage but didn't get it since he was late and other clients were waiting. The massage was strange - fast and not a lot of pressure. I get massages at home regularly - this was unusual. And, I was dressed and out of the room in exactly 1 hour. I got a facial with 5 mins of microderm abrasion and an excessive use of Kleenex on my face - I was peeling kleenex residue off as we left the building. After those 2 services = 2 hours, the staff argued that the charges still equaled $315 (with tax). The prices on their wall did not add up. "Those just haven't been updated". They called the owner (doesn't live in NYC - I believe they said she was out of state). The owner confirmed and insisted on the same pricing. Can only pay cash or venmo. When I paid cash they couldn't make change until I told them there was NO WAY I was giving a 35% tip. Then they suddenly found some cash. FYI, the same package with the brown sugar scrub is STILL on their website today. Terrible experience. Total scam.

I came here several times to get my nails done and the service is good people are friendly but it's def not the best manicure in my life. the good thing they always took my reservation after 6pm when I needed it.

My 8 year old daughter wanted a spa day in NYC, and this day spa was within walking distance of our hotel. I checked with them to make sure that they were okay with doing a mani pedi, hair trim, and deep conditioning treatment on a child, and they were so welcoming. When we arrived, the spa was clean and well-equipped. I got to relax while my daughter was pampered. She loved it and everyone was so sweet to her. I found the pricing to be very reasonable as well. We would definitely go back! Thank you for making my daughter's spa day so wonderful!

Gel mani. Best job I have ever had! Went to the beach for 10 days straight and still holding perfect.   Merci

Gel manicure quick and lasts long. Maria is great! A little on a pricey side. I would lower numbers at least by $7 for gel and pedi separately. Haven't tried any of the waxing or skin services. Come here strictly for gem mani. Make appointments!

I work in Midtown, and had been desperately searching for a good nail technician nearby for years. Well, not only did I find one, but she is not just good, she is FANTASTIC! The Spa: Easy to get to and conveniently located, lovely warm decor, a wide variety of affordable, yet quality spa services, beauty treatments, etc. The Staff: Ariel is extremely warm, welcoming and accommodating to each and every client who walks through the doors. She truly gives you the spa experience and makes you feel like you're an old friend. Nancy (my nail technician) is without a doubt, a true professional who provides a genuine attention to detail and preference. She really goes above and beyond to ensure you receive the best services possible each and every time you sit in her chair. I have also had services by the other nail technician, Julie, who is equally as talented and lovely. Elite Day Spa is now my go-to place for nails, toes, and beauty treatments. They provide such a high caliber of services done with care, precision and genuine dedication to give their clients a true spa experience, while making you feel right at home during the process. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and would give them 10 stars if it were possible!

Ariel is super nice and accommodating. They were able to fit me in at 2pm on a weekday (was definitely slow). The lady who did my nails was efficient but amazing. I was in and out in 45 mins but they looked really good and she didn't skimp on anything! Cuticles were cut well - a big deal for me because mine get really out of control and some salons definitely don't spend enough time in this. I also got a nice hand scrub / hand massage and a nice back massage when I was waiting for my nails to dry. $16 for a regular mani and I tipped $4 for $20 total. Definitely worth it.

Pedicure station. Everything was private, clean, sterile tools, awesome sugar scrub!

I hate to write this review at less than 5 stars because I really think this is a great spa, staffed by great people, using terrible products. The space itself is wide open and inviting, with large windows and a large floor plan for the manicure and hair stations. The pedicure area is a notch in the hallway and there are private rooms further back for massages and waxing. The music is calming. I got a regular French mani-pedi for the Groupon price (I opted for French rather than a gel manicure, price wise). I called for an appointment and got one for the next day at 11:00am. It was just Nancy and I for about an hour. She was friendly, an expert at nail care, and gave a wonderful pedicure massage. I would bet serious money her massages are to die for. Among other things, I asked for thicker white tips and she delivered. She's also a workhouse, so you'll likely see her if you go - I'd ask for Nancy specifically! She's a rockstar! At the end, my thumb had a bubble on it and even though they became slammed, Nancy fixed it very quickly and it looked amazing. That I felt comfortable asking her to look at it alone speaks to how good her customer service skills are. The workers all understand English very well and can communicate about the services and pricing. They have a regular VIP program where I'm guessing you can earn free or discounted services. UNFORTUNATELY, not even two hours later, after doing absolutely nothing except taking the subway home and sitting on a couch, four of my nails were chipping at the tips or even in the center. Nancy had used a strong top coat, we dried them for 20+ minutes, and she used a finishing spray, so I know they were taken care of to the best of her ability. For $65, I was really unhappy with this development. I called the next day and was able to get in to have them fixed. The manager was very sweet about it. However, the fixing was... okay. (I really appreciate the technician for staying to do it despite leaving 20 minutes late as a result, though.) And my nails were all chipping after another day even after they had been fixed. Again, for $65 - now $71 with the extra subway there and back - a manicure should last AT LEAST a week, even if it's not gel. I was told I would receive a $5 off coupon which I did not, but I don't mind because unfortunately the prices are just too high for me to swing when I can't trust that I'll even get a day without my nails being ruined. I'm guessing the gel polish is much more worth it, which I would have done but couldn't justify the extra cost to get French tips. [[looking back, it would have been pretty much the same since I had to subway there and back to get the regular fixed... sigh.]] PROS: Nancy is a nail care expert and an asset to any company. You feel pampered here. The atmosphere is clean, open, and relaxing. The staff and management are friendly and knowledgeable. The pedicure is phenomenal. Sterile, clean tools. Great late hours for after-work treats. CONS: Pricier than other spa and nail treatments you'll find in the city, but not terrible for midtown, extra charge for cards, absolutely horrible regular nail polish that chips within two hours of manicure.

I needed a quick wax before vacation and since I had a last minute work trip to NYC, I was under a…read moretime crunch. So when I looked up waxing services on Yelp and noticed that Uni K was nearby, with great reviews and online booking I was locked in! First of all, it was so happy to see that they had some same day appointment availability! Why that may not always be the case, some booking systems will still only show starting next day. I also loved that their menu had a lot of options, including more than one type of Brazilian to book. When I showed up to my appointment, I checked in and filled out some basic, new client information. I was then taken to my room with my waxer promptly after. They use hard wax here which many people prefer, but for me hurts the most. But I don't really care what is used as long as they're hygienic, quick, effective and will not spawn in-grown hairs. My waxer was quick, thorough and one week out...things are still looking good! As a bonus, first time clients got a significant discount which made me even happier about my experience. While my experience before check out was already excellent, that was just icing on the cake. Overall, I left very impressed and will definitely return again in the future!

I've been going to Pratima at Uni K Wax West Village for over 15 years and the service has remained…read moreconsistently top tier. She is professional, thorough, and makes every visit comfortable. The studio is always clean and the staff is welcoming. It's rare to find this level of consistency and care for so many years. Highly recommend!
