    I've gone here for years and very disappointed that after 24 hours my powder dip nails are already cracking!!

    Barely 24 hours after getting my powder dip and they are ALREADY cracking?? I noticed she was dipping some of my nails in powder before putting a coat on in between. So they are unevenly done. Update: hours later a second crack on my nail. Poorly applied.

    What I asked for vs. what I got!

    I've been going to Yo Yo for years and sadly I've watched their quality decline. This was the final straw. I asked if anyone could draw a simple sunflower prior to starting....this was the result. 3 technicians and 3 different attempts and I walk away with this. The second picture is 4 days after my gel manicure; chipped polish and broken nails. ($70 for gel manicure and regular pedicure).

    OPI Humidi-Tea! This is an acrylic full set from Yo Yo Spa in Chelsea.

    They are clean, friendly, PROFESSIONAL and reasonably priced. Great selection of OPI polish and I had an acrylic full set I will be back.

    My plain manicure after a terrible gel manicure butchered my nails.

    SNS dip with extension $55
    Alexis T.

    Loooooveeeeeee this place. It's so hard trying to find a decent salon in the city but I found it luckily around my office. Came in yesterday for a sns nail dip w/ extension w/ pedicure. Was not disappointed, these ladies were very nice and patiently helped me to decide on a color. I even took their recommendations and they were spot on. This place was nice, peaceful, and comfortable. The woman who did my nails (apologies I forgot her name) she took her time and she paid attention to every detail, I literally didn't have to say anything. Only one nail didn't dry and instead of rushing, she took her time in making sure my nails came out perfect. Everything here was clean and they quickly cleaned up after every service. I was truly impressed, I'll definitely be coming back here and I'm excited for my next visit.

    It looks nice from afar for sure!

    My coworker raves about this place, not for the cleanliness or how awesome it is, but the cost and the work they do for the price. So I went to try it out. Her pricing is $27 for gel mani...I was told it was $32. I did read on reviews of the fluctuating prices, not acceptable for a business. Also what was weird was that she didn't ask if I wanted round/square, cut or push back for cuticles...on top of back, the convos in mandarin going back and forth the whole time. I got pink and glitter, the gel was on my skin and was cured that way. I was told from Paintbox it shouldn't be done this way as it would cause lifting. We shall see in a week if it lifts. The side of my nails were buffed AFTER the gel was cured and finished, causing parts of the nail missing color since it was buffed off. And what's the point of sealing the gel at the tip of the nails if you are going to buff it off? My pinky was so thick on one end that it looks uneven. And my index finger has polish on my skin which I didn't even notice until now as I'm writing this review. I also got cut on my thumb and 2 of my nail beds are sore to the touch. Cleanliness wise, not the best. I think the sanitizer box is literally for show. I saw her rinse the tools she used on me and place back into the same container with other tools to be used later. On top of that, the buffers are all used on different customers... It wouldn't be so bad if attention to detail was a bit more meticulous and without finishing with buffing. I've never had that before unless it was unevenly distributed (ridges and missing polish) and on the skin. It seems to be hit or miss, go try and see for yourself, you might like it - I didn't.

    3 minutes after I got home

    I have been here many times, all very mediocre. But this is the last straw. I can not justify paying $20 and then tip for this crap. I literally walked home, which btw, I live 2 minutes walking distance, and this is what happened. I sat on the drying seat and dried my nails for a good 15 minutes and she wrapped it with the wrap, god knows why. And here we are. Mind I tell you, it says $19 on their price list but she just charged me $20 so I said fine. I was gonna give her cash but whatever. This is unacceptable. Save yourself stress and do NOT come here.

    Dropped by here after reading the Yelp reviews and for the $20 combo. The salon is really conveniently located next to the subway, so its not too hard to get to. I came during the day on a weekend, and they had enough staff for walk-ins. They have the typical pedicure massage chairs and service is friendly and efficient. The experience wasn't very memorable, both on the negative and positive side. The spa was never at capacity, but their was a pretty steady flow of people in and out and it definitely seemed like they have a healthy population of regulars.

    TWO DIFFERENT COLORS

    I'm really unhappy with my service. I got a full acrylic gel set on Thursday with Andy and he was amazing! I was serviced quickly and he did my nails beautifully. However, just 4 days later, one of the acrylic nails chipped off while I was getting in a car. I've never had that happen to me in all my life of wearing acrylic nails. I was able to go today to get them fixed but Andy wasn't there. Someone else did my nails and they're horrible. She cut my finger and it started to bleed. She was rushing the whole service. On top of that, instead of using gel polish like I originally had, she used regular nail polish and let me go under the gel machine? The colors are completely off and don't match. She also didn't shape them into a coffin shape like the rest of the nails. My nail now hurts. This is such a terrible experience. To get the nail fixed was free with an optional tip, but unfortunately, I didn't feel this service warranted a tip. I always tip well but this experience was extremely awful. I feel like just getting these nails off. This was a waste of the $80 I spent on Thursday.

    I've been coming here for the past 6 months since I moved from LA to NYC. Cathy, is the only person that does my acrylic nails. She doesn't talk much but that's what I like about her. I always get an acrylic fill with gel and a pedicure. Price is around $60 not including tip. I like that fact that they do acrylic nails here and their gel color section is pretty darn good. They have a wide variety of glitter colors that I'm in love with! However, I'm not thrilled about the pedicures. I feel rushed and I think they don't do the best job as in they are not very thorough. They spend only like 20 minutes total on my feet. I guess its because in NY everyone is such in a rush rush rush to get somewhere but when I'm getting my nails done or a pedicure, I will make time for that and I expect them to take their time and do a good job. Tip: I would recommend making an appointment. If you walk-in, you risk going at a bad time and having to wait. Lots of girls come in here for regular manicures or gel manicures and they seem to get them in and out pretty quick so if this is your thing then this might be the place for you.

    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!
