Gel manicure
Sheela V.

Found my new go to spot for manicures in Chelsea! What I got - gel manicure Reservation - yes make one in advance! Price - $38 cash, tip not included Experience - the ladies were quick, efficient, no frills, and the gel manicure lasts for weeks!

Regular pedicure
Shelby R.

I think they're still settling in from a new location so the inside isn't the most aesthetically pleasing right now. Also **make an appointment** limited availability for walk ins which is what I did. I'm thankful they got me in for a pedicure and their quality is always great! Happy to sit in the massage chair while I waited Cash or Venmo only for the time being

I called the salon on a whim and was able to walk in 5 minutes later for an immediate appointment. This was my first time at Golden Glow Spa and I had a great experience. They were well staffed, efficient, and kind. After I chose a color, they were ready to go. Maggie did a wonderful job with extensions and sns powder. I showed a quick photo of what I wanted and she matched the color, length, and shape perfectly. She checked in with me throughout the service multiple times to make sure they were to my liking. Definitely recommend. Pricing was fair.

Powder manicure with gel design on top

Needed to find a new salon after moving and ended up at Golden Glow. I had an amazing experience. The quality of there work is amazing and while the salon was busy they were being meticulous with every client. I got french nails hut there were a lot of people getting awesome designs. Highly recommend this beautiful space.

My nails after 3 weeks lol - no chipping

They always do a great job - very little chipping and it takes like three weeks before it happens. Not all the girls are nice, but the ones who are make it worth it :) recommend bringing cash as credit cards have upcharged pricing

Awesome SNS, first time customer here. Let's hope they last awhile and I will definitely be back! Great attention to details.

This spot is my new favorite... and I'm going to be a regular here! I was on the hunt for a new salon that would do a quality SNS (also known as a dip powder) manicure in New York City. Golden Glow Spa left me impressed with their attention to detail, and surprisingly was a relatively quick turn around time. I also got a pedicure with the callus remover, and they really spent some QT down there and removed all the dead skin for some seriously soft feet. Oh yeah! Really considering getting eyelash extensions here... I'll keep you updated Yelp!

This is the BEST nail spot in NYC, especially for SNS Powder Gel manicures!! Maggie is my girl.. I recently had to go uptown to meet a client for a powder mani and they butchered my nails... Maggie to the rescue-- she stayed late into the evening to fix me up and I have gorgeous, healthy, sparkly nails once again! Highly recommend this hidden gem.. It's clean, spacious, friendly and they know what they are doing!!!

2nd review: This is my regular spot I don't trust ANYONE else. Got dip powder red french :) 1st review: Molly did an awesome job on my powder gel glittery nails! She even mended an almost broken natural nail and added a tip on a fully broken

I just left this place. Horrible service. The woman who did my manicure acted like she didn't want too, but she did and did a horrible job. I had to point out her flaws. I will have to go home to file my nails some more because they're crooked! Just like their service and business... crooked. Still left her a tip tho. Also speaking in different languages around customers is rude! Never again!

Ivy is the sweetest person ever! She squeezed me in for a last minute get manicure yesterday and did a phenomenal job. She's detail oriented, does a flawless job, and works really fast. Truly the best in Manhattan. I am only going to golden glow spa from now on. Thank you, Ivy!

3 days and 2 nails chipped ‍
Kyla G.

My initial thought was to give this place 1 star because we got off to a bumpy start but it ended slightly better. My girlfriend and I made 6:15 appointment for a manicure/pedicure. We were 5 minutes late, so we were fine waiting a bit to get chairs. They started my girlfriend's pedicure as I sat there because the same lady doing her pedicure wound up doing mine. The pedicure was the quickest, sloppiest pedicure I've ever received. Maybe 10 minutes? My pinky toes aren't even painted. They move my girlfriend to the manicure chair and start on her while I sat there and watched, again. Finally another woman came over and did my nails. She did a decent job considering I needed one tip, my nails shaped and I'm picky about my polish. We didn't leave until after 8pm... Most of that was waiting for someone to work on us or one of us sitting around while the other was getting worked on. Why make an appointment if it doesn't m We won't be coming back. UPDATE: it's been 3 days and two of my nails are already massively chipped

I got my nails done 11 days ago and have a lifted SNS nail. Whenever I go anywhere else, my nails don't start to lift until three weeks in
Paige S.

I have been going here since March because it was the closest place near my job that did SNS powder. Unfortunately, after going other (further) places to get my nails done and seeing my friends' regular gel nails last longer than my $45 plus tip powder nails, I've given up and have started going somewhere else. I have had this powder gel manicure for less than two weeks, and I already have three nails that are lifting. Whenever I go to get them done in Queens (or even all the way in Massachusetts), they last 3+ weeks. When I tell this to the girls there they always look surprised and claim that it's because "my nails need to get used to the powder". If my nails need to get used to it, then why do they last longer when other salons do them?! Also once I asked for coffin shaped nails (which I had done during my previous manicure at a different salon), and they were all lopsided. Couldn't look at my hands for those two weeks... Overpriced for the quality, so from now on I'm going to a place in Queens. And I NEVER go to Queens.

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!
