BEST relaxing nail salon on 14th Street, lovely Owner/Manager. $16 for a manicure. Very tranquil setting (no music) on the ground floor, not far from the famous "Donut Hole" spot. I read all of the reviews for the nearby nail salons, this was one many overlooked ...I assume since its name is "Yo Yo Spa" many would think it's a massage spot ONLY.

I made a booking online and they accepted it ten minutes before the appointment giving me no time to reach. As I made my way they kept calling to ask me if I was coming. I reached to find the salon was packing up. The guy who did my nails was in a major hurry. He literally touched my nails and asked me to pay. I was so unsure if he was even going to do the gel paint I had asked for if I paid for it beforeThe saving grace and the three stars are for the fact that the staff was friendly and the paint is still intact. After the service I was asked to tip at which point I over tipped as they were all standing over me and left.
