    My nails are ready for take off
    Kristin T.

    This is the worst manicure I've ever gotten. The woman that did my nails did not know what SNS was and had no idea what she was doing. She also glued on the tips incorrectly with them facing up rather than gluing against the nail. My nails are all different sizes and lengths and I was not pleased with the outcome. MAYBE this place is good for pedis or a regular mani, I doubt it. I also wouldn't come here if you're in a rush. I was here for 2+ hours even when it was empty. Update : I got my nails fixed somewhere. They were done correctly this time. (Second attached photo)

    They cut my tor rwally badly. The owner Sylvia acted like it was no big deal. DO NOT GO.

    Beware. They have amateurs that are probably not licensed doing your nails. They cut my toe badly and then Sylvia the owner acted like it was no big deal. Also, they said they needed to use the machine to file my nails to be clean though I have thin nails. They said then I have to pay for a manicure on top of the powder gel. Umm what??? The nail being clean amd buffed should be part of paying to get powder gel. I walked out. UNPROFESSIONAL AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. They would get ZERO stars. Never again. Thats what happens when you try to support a Brown owned business.

    Thanks to my friend I have found the holy grail!!!! I have been going to the uber fancy nail places that charge damn near $100 for basic service. Why? Because I was mainly concerned about hygiene and sanitary settings when it comes to nail salons. Sylvia's nails is a great place to get your nails done for GREAT prices!!! They take their time to make sure your nails are done damn near PERFECT! When I got the powder gel (which lasts 3 weeks) and a pedicure and got my bill and it was UNDER $60 I almost did a cartwheel right there by the register!!! You can't beat it!!!! I get constant compliments daily!!!! The only thing I miss w/ my Uber fancy nail salons is that they use brand new nail tools on their customers. Each time you see them opening up a new package of tools. Here they soak it in that blue liquid which I always was a bit skeptical about whether that was an effective disinfectant?!?! Either way this place is AMAZING! Call for your appointment ASAP!!!!!

    Came here because I live in the area and was tired of the usual salon I go to. First off, they have way more color choice for the SNS than the salon I usually go to (super plus). Second, their atmosphere is just different (in a good way). Although small inside, It's quiet and relaxing. I only give 4 stars because when soaking off the SNS from a previous manicure, they use burning hot water to help the acetone soak it off. I could barely let my fingers soak for more than 5 seconds

    My go to person is Sylvia!! She's absolutely amazing . She's capable of doing any design you ask her to do , whether it's 3-D or line designs. Every time she does my nails they look lovely for days . Also the owner Sylvia is very accommodating and her positive attitude keeps me coming back !!! I would give her six stars if I could .

    See all

    Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill

    This review is no part a reflection of the level of service I have received from the Sugarista I…read moreuse when I attend this location. THIS IS SOLEY BASED ON THE POLICIES BY S+B. I WAS a member for a little over a year when I learned that I had some health complications that required I have a FEW procedures to address 5 fibroids which were the size of grapefruits. This led me to be out of a few months but during this time my fees were still drafting. When I was healed, I reached out to ask if my future payments could be paused so that I could catch up and begin renewing again. I was denied that request and was told that I would no longer be given the membership pricing on what was already paid, in turn losing out on the discounted benefit that was paid out already. After receiving the less empathetic draconian policy driven response via email, I was left upset, annoyed and confused as to how could this be a women owned business? Sadly, the Manager at the time Samantha couldn't care less about my situation but I continued to use my credits and scheduled with the same person. Fast forward yesterday...I scheduled an appointment on Sunday with my Sugarista for Tuesday. Respecting their policy and wanting my service...I left my home in Manhattan early to be there on time. Paid my congestion pricing fee and rescheduled my workday based on the availability they mentioned she had, only to be told she's not in! WT!...? Where is the communication at? As soon they knew she wouldn't be in and that I requested her specifically someone should have picked up the phone to notify me. I've scheduled appointments with this location only for them to be cancelled by S+B on the same day via text a few times prior, so what made today any different!? I hope you Courtney see this....As a women owned, women service based business, you really should revisit your policies when it comes to women issues, specifically related to health! No it to mention all the invisible labor we have to endure as mothers and care takers. Getting sugared shouldn't be a stressor! Are you not a woman? Or is the financial driver more important than then the human side of business for you? There is no way I could have utilized the services after having repeat fibroid procedures in concession. As a customer who still paid during her recovery that should have counted for something. Getting Sugared is an intimate process and one that should be deem sacred. The fact you feel it's should be standard to have random people playing around near your vagina each month baffles me! I've done my trial an error with the different Sugarista's at this location and I'm satisfied with one. Based on that, I should have autonomy to choose and the very least I should be valued enough to be notified when my choice isnt available! Building relationships should be what you want with your clients & memberships; not a revolving door of freebies to lure customers in, then you treat them like trash when they've been captured in your membership. Stopping or pausing a membership for medical or health reasons without penalty should be standard instead you've chosen to lose a customer completely. I am so turned off I don't even want to use my credits anymore. S+B DO BETTER!

Super even and a nice shade of tan- not too dark or too light. Haven't done a spray tan in a decade and I'll definitely be back for my next occasion!

    DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!…read more I came in as a first time client for a Brazilian wax, and I have nothing bad to say about the actual results because she did a fine job. [EDIT: I am scrolling through her reviews and noticed that she has received another 1 star review from two years ago, where she responded to it by accusing them of not being in her client list, and that they had never come in for a service, BUT in the review they had mentioned her repeatedly waxing over the same area multiple times, which I experienced as well. This is a huge red flag considering that I had the same experience as the woman who left the review!!!] However, I find it misleading how there are no photos of the actual studio online, only photos of the building where the small space that you are actually getting waxed in is located, which is essentially a closed glass office cubicle with a privacy curtain between the door and hallway. So if you are looking for a more upscale experience I would not recommend this studio, every other room on the floor of this building was literally a small desk with a computer and a chair. I also noticed that she was leaving the used strips in a very messy pile on the table I was laying on by my feet, which is unusual to me compared to other experiences I have had at different studios. I didn't realize until we were done because when I shifted my feet to sit up, my sock went straight into a pile of used strips and used cotton pads. We weren't chatting during the wax which is fine, but she also randomly broke the silence and started talking about how the chipotle she ate the night before was hurting her stomach and that I was thankfully the last client of the day because she wanted to go home. Which was also kind of strange to me as a first time client. She also did not discuss aftercare with me in person, as I was paying at the end of my appointment she told me that she would send the aftercare instructions to my phone. I received an email with the aftercare instructions 24 hours after my appointment, and then a text message with the same instructions 3 hours after I received the email. This bothered me a lot, because the most important time window of aftercare is the 24 hours that come immediately after the appointment, and she did not send the information until that time frame had already passed. When I confronted her about it, her response was also very strange and unapologetic. I have included screenshots with the appointment timestamp as well as the aftercare email timestamp, and the text messages that we exchanged the day after the appointment. Overall, this was the most unprofessional wax I have ever received, and I definitely will not be returning to this studio. I have never left a yelp review in my life and I really do not enjoy taking the time out of my day to write this about someone's small business, but I also think that other girls deserve to know my experience so that they aren't disappointed or even worse, left feeling uncomfortable during a service that is already a somewhat vulnerable situation in general.

She patiently answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. During this appointment, I received a Brazilian wax, full butt, and armpit waxing. The pain was minimal and manageable, thanks to Kay's expertise and technique. I really appreciated how flexible Kay was with scheduling as long as you communicate with her, she's very accommodating. The email and text reminders before my appointment were also super helpful and made the process feel smooth and organized. Sending a quick text before arrival is another thoughtful touch that really works well. It ensures Kay knows you're there and helps both of you stay on schedule without wasting time. She also provided water and snacks, which added a welcoming and thoughtful touch. The vibe of the studio was calm and relaxing. I'm usually drawn to pink, but the purple décor was so soothing and made me feel at ease. I would absolutely recommend Kay to my friends and family. Her skill, kindness, flexibility, and attention to detail truly set her apart. Oh, and let me emphasize I feel NO hair. NONE. Kay did that! Thank you once

I suffer from chronic health issues, including multiple inflammatory skin issues (eczema, Hidradenitis suppurativa, actinic keratosis), and from my first Chat With Nat, I felt so welcomed and confident in the custom treatment plan Uncle Nat and I created together. I really appreciated the opportunity to thoroughly discuss my needs when I booked a free Chat with Nat, and they were so supportive , accommodating and transparent about the process. I'm also heavily tattooed, and recently started Electrolysis with Cynthia, who has been so lovely and helpful in supporting my particular needs. As someone who has NEVER been able to shave without having horrible reaction, laser and electrolysis have truly changed my life. I spent many years too anxious to try laser and caught in a painful cycle of shaving and bad reactions, and I'm so grateful a place like Uncle Nat's exists! They've helped me finally break that cycle and feel comfortable in my body and my skin, which I never thought was possible. Their environment is incredible comforting, welcoming, and everyone who I've had the pleasure of being treated by has done their very best to accommodate my needs. I've also received Red Light Therapy post laser treatment, which has helped so much to keep my skin calm and comfortable. If you're interested in trying laser, electrolysis, sugaring, or any of their other amazing services, this is the place to go! It's a pleasure every time!
