The owner will charge you for breathing if she could. A typical spa manicure in nyc , downtown, is almost 1.5 hours and you get treated amazing. You don't pay like a piece meal menu pricing and never over $120. I left there last weekend paying over $100 to change my Polish and she charged $20-40 to remove Polish or soak gel in acetone while I leaked all over everything. Got nails done using regular polish too. To get gel polish some days it's $30 other days it's $40 on top of the price of the actual manicure and pedicure which rained $40-$65. They only use oil for massage and no lotions- at times this will get on clothing so do not wear anything you love and if you have leather seats in car be aware not to lean arm on armrest. To wax lip it's like $10-15 again it depends on the day. That's ludicrous and the best is the manicure/pedicure for kids (and even without polish) it's the same price as an adult lol. My friend said her daughter wanted to keep the tips she had put on to stay longer vs cut and because she wanted them kept long and "it required more polish to polish them" lol she had to pay $40-50 more. The saddest part is it's conveniently located on CB and some of the ladies doing the nails/feet are uber talented (the stars are for the workers because they are good when not being made to charge extra). So while the owners may not care about pricing because tourists will pay them they forget the locals who would be loyal if they didn't do the tourist trap thing to locals too.
First time at this nail salon and I'm very happy with the service. Jonna did a very good job and was very friendly. She took her time and did not rush! I will be back and will request her! Establishment was very clean and neat.
One of the loveliest nail salons I've ever visited. The ambiance was peaceful with a retreat-like feeling and calming music. The salon was pristine! The service was friendly and my nail technician did a fabulous job on my SNS service. I highly recommend this nail salon!
