I was looking for the closest nail salon and I ended up finding the MOST amazing spa in the city!!…read moreEverything you could want in a nail spa was at its best here. I was able to schedule an appointment the day before and I was immediately greeted upon entering. The technicians and manager were all so nice and friendly, taking a genuine interest in what I wanted and my plans for the weekend. They have so many nail polishes to choose from - you can find your polish either by looking at the basket in the waiting area or just beyond at the two walls they have. The waiting area is nice and clean, though I was able to be sat right away. Since I got a mani/pedi I was in the big massage chairs. They worked well, were very comfortable, and the water/jets were a nice warm temperature. I also saw them cleaning all the bowls before they opened which leads me to the highlight of my experience: I'm an epidemiologist and I noticed that these women take infection control very seriously. I saw them wiping every surface down as the store was opening, each step of my service was followed by a spritz of what I believe to be alcohol, and they would also spray their tools immediately after they finished a task so that it would be clean if they had to go back! While it stung at times, it was so greatly appreciated because that is a level of cleanliness that I have never seen before! My mani/pedi itself was incredible, I wanted a deep red regular polish but Lillian convinced me that gel would be better for my wedding this weekend. They didn't have the exact color so we found a similar color (based on the bottle) that didn't end up being the same when on the nail. Lillian noticed before I did and went to find a more appropriately matching color. I really appreciated that because it showed she cared about my intended look. Cam did my pedicure and it was the most thorough pedicure that I've ever had! She had incredible attention to detail and my toes look so adorable! I got the special pedicure which came with a massage, callus removal, and lotion/oil, all of which were lovely. I truly cannot say enough good things about this nail salon. Annie, the manager, told me that they're undergoing renovations to upscale the place and it already looks so amazing! Please if you are looking for a spot to relax, get an amazing manicure/pedicure, you have to come to Lilly's!

Use to go to Golden File but wanted to try this shop since two of the beginner nails techs back when I went to Golden File had opened this shop. Well save your time this place is a joke. Only one guy Tommy who I booked with online since they make you put a card on file to book with them and have you pick your tech. I had heard good things with Tommy so I booked with him and put my card in file. I come to my pedicure appointment that was confirmed online with Tommy and I see him with another client doing a acrylic set with, designs, cool I sit down, totally waiting to wait for my nail tech to finish and start with me. Well the little Hispanic boy doing a pedi asks what I need, I reply I have an appointment with Tony well I got the name wrong and he got attitude with me. I was told to sit in a pedicure chair and wait. Cool totally fine. I here them speak I'm assuming Vietnamese about me and then this old lady from the back comes and starts my water for my pedicure cool I've always seen the old mama come and set up the pedicure chairs till the actual nail tech comes to do my service no worries I can show, but then this old lady starch, removing my nail polish and wanting to go on my feet. I pull away and ask why is she doing my pedicure when I have an appointment that I pre-booked with a credit card with Tommy they said well we don't do things here. No he just didn't wanna do a pedicure because he was busy making more money on the acrylic set with design which I was so cool to wait for him to do me or come back at a later time. No one communicated that no one wanted to talk to me or communicated. They just talked their mess in Vietnamese and thought I would go with the next nail tech. I immediately got up apologized to the lady and said OK I'm good then and got up all of a sudden everyone was shocked that I had the nerve to reject a service from someone I did not request or want a service or had the decency of them explaining their policy or how they did things or that I would be getting taken care of by the mama not Tommy.. we all know the old grandma mama nail tech is the worst one in the building and just is there to clean up and set the bowls. I want a good pedicure since I have trouble feet not someone slathering product and not massaging or getting my cuticles done correctly this is the problem with the Asian nail tech in this city. They bully and force people and don't talk or communicate. They just speak Vietnamese and speak bad about you and take your money. I will never go to this place and I will tell everyone I know and come across since I am a manager at a very popular coffee shop not to go to this racist establishment that profiled me because of how I looked and the service I bought I would rather spend my money at a black owned nail shop where people speak English and communicate and not try to have an attitude with you. I grew up with immigrant parents, so I know when people go into their mother tongue why they're doing it not professional at all seems like magazine nails got too big for their britches when the two girls ( Ni and I forgot the other name) that own it Magazine Nails used to be the D squad nail tech at Golden file. Spend your money supporting real community not people who pray and then don't respect you.

They seem busy busy so we got lucky, but it felt good from the getgo that they were accommodating. Both our manicures turned out sooooooo good, too!! Asia, my nail tech, left no crumbs--and her care and knowledge were just as impressive as her art. I've been getting compliments all day, and I can tell this set is gonna hold up well. We didn't try their speciality cocktails, but I regretted it big time after trying their made-in-house sugar scrub. They seem to make everything with intention, so we def coming back soon.

After moving to New Orleans I have been trying to find someone who does Russian manicures…read more I have had several appointments with nail techs who seem to believe if they file around the bottom of your finger enough times they're doing it right. They are not. It got so bad that I took my question to Reddit, which is how I ended up booking at this place, which sadly was no different. When I sat down (twenty minutes late) I was informed by the nail tech that she does Russian manicures, but doesn't cut with a scissor. Immediate red flag but I had already paid in full and needed the disaster set I walked in with removed. This person then proceeded to not follow any of the steps of a Russian manicure. No orangewood stick. No flame bit to lift the dead skin. A jagged cut around the cuticle with oil added to hide it. Abrasions where my live skin was filed with the ball bit. I was then informed that I would need to pay an additional $60 for the hard gel application. To be fair, it was applied nicely and the shaping was great. It just wasn't a Russian manicure. If it had been billed as a hard gel manicure and left at that it would have been fine. The gaslighting at the end - I was told I should book hard gel fills moving forward because I don't "need" a Russian manicure - was the icing atop a very shitty cake. If you don't know what you're looking for, this is the place for you. The vibe and aesthetic of the salon is nice. If you're looking for an actual Russian manicure, keep looking.

This spa is on the 8th floor of a vintage building on the Touro Infirmary campus. Parking was on the street. The elevator was to the right as you walk in the door and you go to the top floor. The spa is entire floor and ring the bell to have someone let you in from the elevator lobby. I think this is the 3rd location of this business. Glad they are in my area and that I found them! Booking is online. And was easy but with an extensive questionnaire. The products used are for sale and Jalyn let me know what she used but did not give me a hard sell. My skin is glowing and I will definitely be back.

The customer service needs a serious overhaul. I found this establishment on Yelp and choose to…read moregive the place a try. My appointment was scheduled a day before and no specific instructions regarding location or parking was given. Then at 1:00am the morning of the appt I received a confirmation text. (What an ideal time). On the day of the appt, my grandmother and I arrive and there are no signs or anything signaling a 1st time customer they are located in a plaza which clearly you cannot see from the street. A nice lady come to greet us but then I had to find parking. It was soooo HOT!! By the time I arrived in the building I had to freshen up in the bathroom. On the way walking toward the building there is A man with a dog tied to the bench in the breezeway just barking at everyone as they pass. What a scene on the way to serenity. Once I entered the building my 1st service was waiting on me. No paperwork was completed as a 1st time customer and was asked by the person doing the massage what areas I needed done. She was very pleasant and could tell I was FURIOUS with the process. She kept apologizing. THE MASSAGE WAS AMAZING!!!! I would recommend her but I am not toooooo fond of the place. Then the FACIAL!!' Absolutely horrible. I sat in a chair where the lady explained what she would be using. No time was my skin discussed. I clearly was not looking for a simple facial but because I set appointment day before I was not able to really understand what is entailed in each facial. Then the facial begins. When it was over no discussion of my skin and was. Told we will see you up front. Massage 1 hour and facial 30 minutes. Well my grandmother had a manicure. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY SHE WAS STILL DRYING AFTER 1.5hrs. After I paid and added $22.00 tip the cashier (same person who did my facial) says before I can even leave she left $22.00. WOW!!! Are you serious? No one even offered the products in the lobby for sale. After my facial my face was soooo dry it was ridiculous. I was not even asked what type of skin do I have. No type of data sheet done. After leaving there are a group of people sitting on a stump cussing, and arguing in the corridor patio area I was like I just spent $200.00 for this. I will never again. I would not even recommend this place to anyone
