Parus Waxing & Nails Spa

Went for a wax based on the amazing reviews. Very cute salon for a manicure or pedicure, but would not recommend this for waxing — they double dip back into the waxi

Such a great experience! Highly recommend this place. Mani and pedi done with such meticulousness. Paru helped with picking the right colors and design and even added rhinestones for a special touch. Will definitely be coming back!

75.50 for a pedicure and a basic gel manicure is a ripoff, especially due to the very good competition in the area. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
FYI — the place is very tiny with a small room for waxing and two spots for a pedicure and two for manicure. An appointment is necessary, as there is nowhere to wait if there are people there.
I wanted to like it here, but the price was quite offputting with so many wonderful nail salons in the area.

Friendly staff. Clean and cute. Paru is so nice and offers you delicious tea when you get there. One of the best pedicures I’ve ever had and it was only $ 30! I’m never satisfied because most pedicures because typically they focus more on the painting than the cleaning; here you get both! My feet feel amazing!

Small, relaxing, great attention to nails and process, Kushboo could not have been nicer or more skilled. My brother lives nearby so this is my go to place on UES where there is a nail salon on every block. You will not be disappointed.

They were truly amazing. This is probably the best nail job I’ve had in years. The service, attention to detail, and the final work product was five star. Paru was the best. After searching for what feels like forever after living on Upper East Side my entire life, I’ve finally found my nail place!

Still have lots of love for Parus!
Their basic mani/​pedi is better than the Spa mani/​pedi anywhere else. They do a beautiful job shaping your nails and make great color suggestions. Most salons get angry when you ask them to test a color on your nail — Paru’s staff INSISTS on testing every color — just in case. She also uses super high quality polishes and tries to steer her customers to use the higher end better quality polishes vs Essie — for no additional cost.
The hand and foot massage is super long — comparable to the massage you get when you pay extra money. The salon is super clean and zen.
Paru is a doll! She knows every customer — even if you don’t come in that often. She remembers all sorts of details from your previous conversations with her. She also encourages all her guests (because that is how she makes you feel) to participate in the conversation. She also offers you tea and water when you come in.
For all this, you would you would pay serious money for the services. Nope, prices are extremely reasonable for the level of service you get.
Now the salon is open until 9 pm — you know I will be coming more often!

I had such great experience here! The staff were so kind and friendly and I cannot stress enough how wonderful my nails looked. I got a shellac manicure that was perfectly done (great nail shape, color, and cuticle cutting was pain free!!), which lasted over 2 weeks without a single chip (and I am hard on my nails). At the end, when I wanted to take off my polish, the shellac peeled off easily without hurting my nails, at all. Definitely a great, and relaxing experience. I will come back here for sure!

Perfect!
Small, intimate salon.
If I remember correctly they have two manicure tables and two pedicure chairs.
The waxing rooms are in the back.
Manicurist gets my nails perfectly shaped EVERY SINGLE time.
Very skilled, not rushed, and very friendly ladies.
Their foot scrub is amazing too.
My go-​to place!

Amazing! Very relaxing and the ladies a very nice. Because it’s small it’s more personable. I will definitely go back and will be referring to all my friends!

Paru’s is the best, (perfectly manicured) hands down! Always the neatest, tidiest nails and my shellac stays for weeks! I have yet to find another mani place that even comes close. The prices are lower than expected for such perfect nails.

This is by far the best mani/​pedi I’ved had in such a long time. Mina did an excellent job. She was meticulous and the paint job is incredible. If you’re looking to be in and out, don’t come here. If you’re looking for a well done job and good customer service– this is your place!

This place is a gem. The owner Paru is amazing and does a killer mani pedi and bikini wax! Also, Khushboo’s mani pedis are equally as amazing. My manis last 2 weeks, no joke. They take their time and don’t rush the polish or top coat, which is why their work lasts so long. Customer service is also very good here, the women are all so sweet. If you’re anal about your nails, I promise you’ll be happy with the outcome.

Got a great wax and manicure there, and the employees are very sweet.

I have to say – this place probably does the best manicures ever. They last really long and my nails and cuticles always look really good for the following couple weeks. A basic manicure here is a little bit more expensive but they really are worth it.
This still isn’t my favorite nail spot. It’s really small and I think I usually only see two staff members working at a time. That being said, I’d definitely come back again, I just wish the environment/​ambiance was a little more pleasing (that’s me just being nit-​picky). I also really enjoy the staff at my favorite UES nail salon, but that’s just my preference. The ladies at Parus have never been unpleasant to me; I also appreciated that they called me to offer me an earlier appointment.

Just got a perfect gel manicure here. They were super attentive and meticulous and my nails look awesome. I added on a shoulder massage because the hand massage was so relaxing. I’ll definitely be back.

For my birthday my daughter treated me to a pedicure at Parus Spa. It was an amazing experience! I would highly recommend the spa pedicure to anyone who is looking to be pampered, relaxed, and be treated to beautiful feet. The staff was professional, gentle, and attentive. They even fit me into their schedule for a last minute manicure. I will be returning soon!

This is my first Unilocal review, and it is well deserved. The ladies of Parus Spa know what they’re doing! They take their time with details leaving you with gorgeous results. I got a manicure today (though a woman came in for a brow wax while I was in the salon and left raving about the quality of the service). I asked for a specific sequence of colors, and I wanted one of my nails to be all sparkles. At some points in the manicure she was attaching the glitter onto my nails piece by piece. Their attention to detail was spectacular. According to the customer sitting next to me, the mani will last for weeks to come. I’m so happy I’m bringing my mother here for us to get pedicures when she comes into town a few days from now!

I just got a FANTASTIC pedicure here. A friend and I walked in on a Saturday afternoon for two pedicures. There was no wait, and the ladies were super accommodating, offering us beverages (they had a delicious roasted green tea) and a choice of essential oils for our foot baths.
The choices of colors are abundant, and the foot/​leg massages we got with our basic pedicures were amazing. I can only imagine how great the upgrades are.
I’m also super clumsy, and messed up the polish on my right big toe TWICE trying to move to the drying fan. The ladies were so patient with me, fixing my polish and making sure it looked great.
This pedicure was worth much more than the $ 30 I paid for it, and it’s no surprise that EVERY rating for this place has been 5-​stars.

I love to pile on to other great reviews when it’s well deserved. Worth every penny — they do a great mani pedi. I got a shellac for my fingernails and am hooked!
Make an appointment — since there are only two of them, walk in is not easy
