    Nice place, friendly staff, and clean environment. My nails looked beautiful and I got compliments. Only downside was the wait time, but overall I'd still recommend.

    Got a Gel X mani here. Came back 3 weeks later to get it removed. They charged me 25 dollars to just remove them ( fine) but I have never had a manicure ruin my nails so much. I don't know if it was the application of the gel X or how they removed them but my nails are paper thin and cracked. I can't even use my hands for basic tasks right now.

    They always do SUCH a great and detailed job here, and they're always running actually worthwhile promotions so I don't think I've ever paid full price for my gel. The gel seriously lasts until you come back in, there hasn't been another place that I can say that about!! It's always super clean, peaceful, and they treat you so well. will never go anywhere else!!

    I booked my appointment via ClassPass this morning. They had a lot of availability. Although I originally booked powder nail, I switched to gel X and they just charged me for the difference. My nail tech was Mina. She was very efficient, and did a great job of shaping my nails. She also patiently took note of each color I was considering, and let me see what each color looked like on the nail. Sometimes nail techs can be impatient if you don't know exactly what you want right away, and a I appreciated Mina's calm and patient demeanor. Would love to come back next time!

    Retention of gel x after 44 days (Oct 17 - Nov 30)
    Morgan M.

    Visiting from out of town and needed a manicure, gel x and was recommended Nail SPY. Service was great, nice staff and excellent work done. I got them done in Oct 17th and writing this on Nov 30th with all of extensions still in place. Retention of this set was INSANE. Can't wait to make this place my go to when I move to NYC in the new year!

    Cutest nails!!!

    Mina always does the cutest nails! I love them!!! Best service ever. i totally recommend coming here.

    SNS Manicure  Jess

    I recently had a SNS manicure done by Jess, and I'm thrilled with the results! Jess did an incredible job shaping my nails, and her advice on the polish color was spot on. I opted for "Pretty in Pink," and the outcome was perfect--exactly the look I was going for. Overall, a fantastic experience! This is my second visit and I look forward to my next visit. I love the calm vibe and everyone is super outgoing, courteous, and simply said - welcoming.

    Dip nails

    This is my first time getting extensions so I don't really know anything about it, but I showed a picture of ombré nails and asked for gel x. They said it's not possible to do it with gel x and I needed to do dip (which is an extra $30 or $35). Not knowing any better, I said sure. I found out later on from other friends that it is possible to do it with gel. My nails also started cracking a few days later and eventually one broke. Very disappointing.

    honey moon nails! powder dip by Leah

    Nail Spy is my go-to nail salon. the salon is spacious, clean, and relaxing. my favorite nail technicians are Leah, Eva, and Fanny. they are not only super sweet but they do consistently great work. whether it's gel, powder, or gelX my nails last for weeks. I am annoyingly indecisive about colors and they never make me feel rushed and always let me test something out. although Nail Spy is newer, it's become very popular so definitely make an appointment in advance so you don't have to wait. the customer service is excellent, especially Yoyo, and they work with you to make sure you are taken care of as a client.

    my first set of cat eye nails

    wonderful staff!! i went to try out cat-eye nails and mina was so wonderful that i had to go back. everyone is kind and accommodating, if you're looking for cute and unique nails nail spy will be your jam :)

    Best nail salon!

    I absolutely love NailSpy! I've been going for 3 years now. Mina is my favorite and she does a fantastic job. We always come up with something fun and creative and she puts a lot of time and care into her designs. The salon is so clean and always makes time for an appointment. Could not recommend this salon more!

    Celian O.

    Came here for the first time. Asked for a color recommendation, definitely not a color I would go for but I love it. It's a light pink-ish, coral, nude color. Oddly enough it shows up almost beige on camera. Jenee (if I remember correctly), was the one who did my nails and I absolutely love her. She's quite detail-oriented which I absolutely love. Would definitely go back again when I'm feeling like going for simpler colors and designs.

    This is the best nail salon in NYC. I trusted the team at nail spy for my wedding nails and omg did they deliver! They truly helped me create my perfect color and shape. Jess was my nail technician and she seriously crushed it. These are my favorite nails I have ever had. Thank you Jess and Nail Spy team!

I tried to go different days they weren't working & it doesn't matter. They miraculously are working that day... not happy. The prices are great so I do want to try another location to see if it's the same experience. I also asked to get my inner butt since I paid for Brazilian and she refused. She said no.

Their website is very easy to navigate and book an appointment through. I was greeted by a very kind esthetician and receptionist. The vibe of Thread is lovely! It's a nice space that kinda reminds me a bit of a modernized salon-like barber shop. Once it was my turn, I sat down and she got right to work, confirming I wanted a clean. She didn't ask many questions after, but hey, I'm not picky with my brows, I just want them to look nice and even, and she definitely delivered! The service was fantastic throughout! Also, at the end, she put some soothing aloe and gave me a temple massage -- it was so lovely :). They have a loyalty punch card so you can get a free wax after coming 7+ times I believe. I'll certainly be back!

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!
