    Totally slanted filing. Jagged edges, missed spots.
    Angie K.

    Overpriced and terrible quality. My friend and I walked in for regular manis because we were both a little desperate. I should've waited a bit longer and gone elsewhere. I had someone named Ling (at least based on her Venmo name). She filed my nails unevenly, and didn't get the edges/sides of my nails. Overall sloppy. The bottom edges are all jagged. They don't even have anything to dry our nails. My friend and I sat there for a while to dry, which is fine, except the lady basically said, "Yours are all dry, you can go." Unfortunately, she was wrong, and my thumbnail was all messed up. I noticed this when we had left and we were still on the same block, so we went back. When I showed her, she took the bottle of polish and quickly put a layer on, which only made the problem worse. She said, "okay, all good," which it definitely was not. There were gaps and ridges and bubbles. I told her that I was not satisfied with her quick "fix," which is when she told me to take a seat and actually tried to fix it for real. Even during this attempt, she was very sloppy and tried to take major shortcuts. She also filed my nails completely crooked and it is very obviously slanted -- I've never had my nails filed quite like that before. She didn't even ask me to check how I liked the filing before she started painting. See photo. My friend was satisfied with her nail technician, but mine was extremely sloppy. The opacity of the nail color are all uneven now. Never going back.

    Update to my first review: less than 4 days later and a full nail has peeled off. I haven't gone in the pool or anything like that either

    This was a huge mistake. The girl dented my paint on my toe and then tried to cover it up instead of fixing it. Now there's a giant mound of paint on my big toe. Then the gel is not only thicker in some areas than others (so extremely different colors) but it's on my toes. They all look horrible. Then to add insult to injury, somehow the price I was originally quoted went up $20. Then the girl who did my pedi came over and stood next to me watching the screen to watch what I tipped, thanking me loudly so everyone could hear. HOW TACKY. I was planning on tipping her. I wasn't assuming it was her fault that the shop changed the price. I feel ripped off and left with terrible nails I'm going to have to pay someone else to remove.

    No frills place but a quick and easy manicure of quality! Will return - walked in mid afternoon and was sat right away, extensive choice of polish!

    Gel manicure - less than one week. Chipped at corner of my right index and ring fingers.

    8 day update: three additional nails are chipped. This manicure hardly lasted me a week and now a total of 5 of my 10 nails are chipping. I haven't had a manicure this bad in a LONG time. Really disappointed that i spent about $50 on this... I am leaving one star because at least my pedicure is intact.

    Post pedicure. They complained about my tip being too low even after this.

    Had a very bad experience with a pedicure leading to a bleeding toe today. the nail technician was trimming my cuticles really aggressively and cut into my skin. It bled a lot so she put something over it, which hurt, so I asked her to remove it. She did, and then eventually put it back on and sprayed alcohol on it. While I appreciate that she was trying to disinfect , it hurt so much and my toe continued to bleed. I said to forget putting polish on today because of the blood. They charged me full price still, and when I tipped 10%, they suggested that it was too low.

    Today was my fourth visit, and sadly my last. The last two visits were not good. I really wanted to love this place as it's down the street from my office and they have non-toxic brands, but I cannot spend $50 for mediocre. I booked the express mani+pedi today and the website states this service takes 40 minutes but it took over an hour, 1 hr 20 minutes with drying time. My mani has air bubbles and I simply didn't have the time to have them correct it. Figured I'll just repaint my nails when I get home because I can do a better job myself and I don't have to be stingy with the polish or top coat. Also, much cheaper nail salons have chairs with massagers or pedicure tubs to soak your feet that have jets. This place is basically sticking your feet in a sink and you're sitting in an accent chair. Also on their website when you book an appointment it asks you to choose a nail tech - but what's the point? They never honor your choice. You just get whoever is available. I don't normally write reviews as my favorite way to make a statement is to just not spend my money/return to an establishment. But I hope they improve.

    Gel manicure

    Found this salon last week when I was in the area and needed a mani asap. I was able to schedule an appointment and be seen 30 minutes later with no issues. The salon itself is super cute and the staff is friendly. My nail technician was very attentive and did a great job on my nails! Unfortunately, less than a week later a few nails started chipping but when I called to come in they had no problem fixing the nails free of charge. Great service and the best pricing Ive seen in NYC for gel manis!

    Single color ok but designed... you tell me! I redo it in some other places right after.
    Alice K.

    In short, it's clean and for QUICK SINGLE Gel!! This is the only thing they are good at. Remember to ask the price upfront. The salon looks really nice and clean. I walked in with friendly greeting. At the beginning, I asked for pedicure. It was comfortable and super efficient. FYI, they are Chinese not Japanese. Don't get fool if you are looking for a nice Japanese service. The single color looks really good and nice. The staff is really careful. Because of that, I asked her to do some simple design on my manicure. The staff told me it's simple so no charge. Later on, she said 2 fingers are $10, 3 fingers are $15, 10 fingers are $20. Not sure what kind of math it's that. And she knew from the beginning that I want 3 fingers!! This is the first ripped off. It turns out in the picture as you can see. I also gave her the pictures to copied and asked her if she is confident doing it. She told me YES!! Fine, it was my fault trusting someone did not have profilo. When I about the leave, the owner told me that it's free for gel removal. So I called a month later, she then changed to it's $10 dollars!! WTF! I wish I recorded what she said last time. She told me it's only for FREE when you are doing same service. Since I'm just doing removal and regular pedicure. There will be a charge. I also asked her if they have returning customer discount. She said I can use my stamp card. Great, where is my stamp card? She said that sometimes they forgot... so which still no discount for me. Very poor management and customer relations. Update: After business owner's comment. Not only rude but also put on more fire on POLITICS!!! TAIWAN IS NOT PART OF CHINA. CHINA is Communist; Taiwan is Democracy.

    ***this place is appointment only. You should make an appointment before you go*** I made appointment for me and my friend on Wednesday at 6pm. I was went to other nails shop 5day before I went to this place. It was terrible experience and I had to go other nails salon and I decided to try this place. I searched on the yelp and bookmark few places for nails before I made an appointment here. When you call here for make an appointment, it easy to make. I called them same day around 2:30pm for two people at 6pm. Nothing was hard. I could made an appointment by easily. I just need to did my nails and I didn't put any color. My nails got pain or weak from my bad experience at other place or I've had done nail arts too much. This place was clean and pretty cute interior. Pretty modern style but some of point of deco was cute and my friend liked this place too. Every staffs was friendly and nice talk. You can feel very comfortable while you get nails here. $20 for basic nail care. I wish their seat was comfortable. They're Chinese but also good speaking English. They will ask you for nails shape and cut your cuticles before they do. I would definitely go back to this place again for my nails or pedicure when I visit in NYC also I strongly recommend this place to everyone who need nails or pedicure in the area. It's cozy place to go.

    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.
