Spa Season

This is an okay place to come if you need a mani/​pedi in a pinch. My roommate and I were having trouble finding a place to accommodate us on short notice, but Spa Season was able to take a last minute reservation.
Prices are decent, but man — I felt RUSHED! They really try to get you in and outta here! Pedicure was not relaxing and over in about 10 minutes. I paid $ 8.50 extra for callus removal and guess what — calluses are still there. The ladies were friendly enough, but I was shocked when I went to pay and the cashier asked, «You have cash for a tip, right?» I found this off putting for a few different reasons.
All in all, this is a pretty standard nail salon. I was desperate for a pedicure and this served that purpose, but I won’t be coming back.

Generally clean, generally friendly. Convenient location. I was there late afternoon on a Saturday and the place was busy, but I didn’t have to wait as long as expected. My only gripe is that I didn’t get a basic calf rub with my pedicure. Since when is that a luxury add on?

So, when I first walked out of the salon, I was ready to give them 2 stars, but I thought, no, wait for a while and see how long this gel nails lasts. Well, it’s day 4 and the third nail just chipped so I’m feeling pretty fed up.
I stopped in here because it was close to school, and I don’t love what Il Villagio has been doing with my Shellac manicures. From the start, the lady doing my nails seemed pissed.
When I first came in, I said I wanted to do a gel french manicure. I gave them all the discretion to choose whatever type gel they thought would work best, I was very accomodating and gave her complete discretion as to shape and length of my nails. About 5 minutes into her doing my nails she angrily announced that french manicure would be extra. I smiled and said fine. Then I sat through a total disaster of a gel manicure. She would paint the french white tip on, and then wash it off, and repaint, and then wash it off. None of the nails came out evenly. The white is very cloudy with some clear patches. Basically, it’s awful.
But, I didn’t want to make a big deal, because, ultimately, even if it doesn’t look perfect, I just need it to last for 2 weeks, because that’s why you get gel nails, isn’t it?
Well, about 2 days after, the first nail chipped, and now, as you’ll see in the photos, 2 more have chipped. I’ve had my nails done for 4 days now, and I have to schedule an appt tomorrow to have them redone (elsewhere obviously).
Overall, the quality of the gel manicure was horrendous and the attitude of the lady doing them was awful.

I stumbled upon this place back in Jan 2011… have been back fairly consistently since. The people are genuinely friendly which is one of the reasons I like it so much… there is not a short/​sharp attitude as can be with a lot of places. The choice of Essie and OPI colors I think is one of the best I’ve seen. I dont find they get really stuck in with the pedicure in terms of giving your feet a really good scrub (but that’s just because my other go to place REALLY does that well). The results are always good though and the value is great!

First of all, its not closed! Its very active nail place! I went there tempted by price (25 for mani pedi) and big smile at the front desk, well plus good reviews. I had worse pedicure ever — the girl was unfriendly, rude, too fast and overall unprofeccional. So i asked for another girl to do my manicure and guess what! It was no difference! When i asked to fix her bad job on one of my nails she started to complain to the owner in Chinese (which I can understand a little)! And she did not fix my nail polish! I was shocked! Well I better pay more but my nails would shine and I ll have the whole relaxation. Not worth it! Dont go people!

My new favorite drop-​in spot! It’s never super crowded, and the women are fantastic– they do a fabulous job. The owner is also very sweet, and the overall atmosphere is serene and light-​hearted.
Prices are very reasonable, but the extra bonus — they use Dermalogica skin products! I look forward to getting a facial here soon.
Credit card is a $ 15 minimum, and they have an ATM.

I finally found my go-​to mani/​pedi spot in the West Village :) It’s super clean, very reasonably priced, and all of the ladies that work there are super sweet.

Since moving to Manhattan a year ago, it has been impossible for me to find a reasonably priced and high quality salon to accomodate my grooming needs. I’ve had to resort to trecking all the way to Westchester for a mani/​pedi.
Out of sheer chance did I stumble upon this place where I was greeted with genuine kindness.
Suffice it to say that I received one of the best pedicures I ever had by a woman who was both professional and personable (without being pushy or superficial). Her name is Angela.
I will undoubtedly be returning to try their other services!

I like this place very much. Manicure is only $ 10 and pedicure is $ 22. It is clean, clean, clean…

i got the massage with the lady and she is fantastic. The price of mani/​pedi are reasonable. Also the cosmetician did my facial and i really like it. I definitely come again to this spa.
