Sweet Lily Natural Nail Spa & Boutique

Very clean and relaxing spa. I have been going here for years for pedicures, only place I trust. While a little pricey it is definitely worth it. Great selection of nail colors.

I’ve been here a few times now and really do like the pedicures. Their basic cucumber pedicure is relaxing and they don’t use all those harsh chemicals that other nail salons use. The technicians are always polite and do a nice job. The place itself has a cute shabby chic feel.
I’m giving 3 stars because last time I was in, there was a kiddie party which involved about 6 – 8 little girls running around and being loud while picking out their colors and taking turns getting their nails done. This was on a Friday late afternoon. It was a little irritating because you go to a nail spa to relax. I had made an appointment ahead of time and there was no mention of a party that would be happening while I was there. It was a little rude and I could have been forewarned.
Also, while I was checking out on my last visit, another customer cuts in front of me to pay her bill. The front desk lady turns her attention away from me (I was clearly there first and she asked me my last name), and starts to ring her up. She seemed like a regular. The woman then says «oh, you go ahead.» It was really rude and disrespectful. I would have expected better customer service at a boutique nail salon!

This is a great spa!
It is very relaxing and they do a great job on your nails. It kind of all depends on who does your nails. There are some women who don’t do nails that great but, the others do. Just keep in mind that it is vey pricey!

Very girly atmosphere. High quality service and skilled nail technicians. Clean, open, airy space– almost shabby or garden-​chic. I highly recommend this place for mani or pedi!

Given that I was late for my apt, I told them I’d rather reschedule than get an abbreviated service (for full price). My pedicure however was extremely rushed and devoid of any massage described for the cucumber pedicure. I’m so disappointed and feel totally ripped off.

Beautiful, soft, relaxing, modern cottage feel to this salon. Flora took care of me today. I got the Lavender Crème Mani, and Sweet & Simple Pedi (which I had a gift-​card for). The service was the full deal. Flora trimmed my nails, filed, buffed, took care of my calluses and cuticles; light amazing massages were included with a nice, confident job on the color.
I would love to go back and visit Flora again but it’s out of my budget. I don’t think I can spend $ 54 on a pedi and $ 26 on a mani each time I’m there. It’s a little too steep for me.

Everything about my pedicure at Sweet Lily was amazing! The staff was extremely sweet and attentive and I never felt rushed or pressured to pay for any extra add ons, which I usually feel happens at other salons.
I got their new Lemon Scrub pedicure and it was so great! Rosanna was super sweet and she spent a long time on scrubbing my feet and cleaning up my cuticles. I would sit there all day and get my feet massaged by her all day if I could!
A huge plus about Sweet Lily is all of their natural products and the cleanliness and calmness of the salon. I will definitely be returning for the rose petal pedicure!

Even when this place is busy it’s still incredibly calm and soothing atmosphere and feels like a calm oasis after work. Make an appointment — as there are few seats and seems to always be busy.
My cuticles are pretty rough and Grace really went to town on them while still being gentle and they looked so much better and healthy afterwards.
All the products they use are natural. The sugar scrub they use feels and smells so good. I’m fairly new to using the Zoya brand nail polish (it’s vegan!!), but I’ve found it to hold up better than Essie and OPI. I feel good about supporting this nail salon, especially in light of the recent NYT articles surrounding the industry and the harmful chemicals used at other nail salons.

Wonderfully (and as they should) Sweet Lily Natural Nail Spa pays its employees over minimum wage, they keep 100% of their tips, and they get paid sick and vacation days. This is the kind of place I want to support and feel comfortable getting a manicure.

Such a cute neighborhood nail spot! I came in for a mani/​pedi with my best friend on my birthday and it was a great experience. The place is very clean and my manicure lasted a week chip-​free! My only complaint is that the the massage was very short. If you’re paying $ 50+ for a pedicure, I’d expect a longer massage than a minute…

Still 5 stars !
Hot lavender Manicure is amazing and I was able to share the experience with my mom, who’s super picky about her digits .
We were running late as usual and they accommodated us by pushing us back a half hour and then taking us right away when we arrived.
The selection of Zoya Polishes is very impressive and the cleanliness and cute décor hasn’t changed a bit since my last time here. I usually don’t venture below Houston for my manicures but I may have to put Sweet Lilly in as my splurge option.

The charm of this place will truly sweep any girl off their feet. It’s so bright and calming in here with the country chic furniture and all-​white motif, which creates a very neutral and relaxed environment to get yourself pampered as you sip on some cucumber-​infused water. I got one of those discount deals for a manicure and was excited to know that they only use Zoya polishes which are quick-​drying and made without harmful chemicals. The staff is really friendly and everyone seems to be very nice here. The location is convenient and right off the E line. The only slightly negative thing I can say about Sweet Lily is that they don’t have enough pedicure chairs or manicure tables. At any given time, the salon can only handle about 6 or 7 people, maximum, I think. But in a way, maybe that works to their advantage because it’s never crowded as other salons and you’re probably not rushed through the experience. That said, make sure you book an appointment or come during non-​peak time (early, mid-​day). They can host private or group sessions, which is such a wonderful idea as a girls day out or bridesmaid/​wedding preparation event.

I get the best brow job in NYC here! This is the ONLY place to get a manicure when you understand the benefits of living whenever possible in a chemical-​free, clean air environment. I love this nail salon. And their pedicures are to die for. No one will talk over your head in another language and make you feel as if you don’t exist. A classy place with VIP treatment for everyone.

I started going to Sweet Lily because I live nearby and they are using natural cosmetics. Well, I’m satisfied with their service and really glad that I don’t need to look further to get my nails done and my body groomed.
Iliana is the best waxer I’ve ever encountered: she delivers confident, no-​nonsense, pain-​free and super fast (but thorough) waxing and has a very very sweet personality.
All of the three mani/​pedi professionals (Grace, Lily and Sony) are a treat to chat with (if you want to) and they do a really good job all at the same time. I’ve brought my mother over and will bring my partner in the nearest future.
The women at the reception were also really friendly and accomodating. And I love the cucumber water!
As to the design of the place: I’m not a girly girl but I’ll take Sweet Lily’s rustic design over that of your conventional mani/​pedi place. It looks clean and comforting, and so it is in reality.

This place is great. The décor is shabby chic. The ambiance is very relaxing. In the background you can hear light jazz and peace.
I was drawn to this salon because my nails were super dry and I figured a little natural care might help.
They didn’t disappoint. I had the eyebrow wax. They use a tea tree wax. Smelling the tea tree was refreshing and I had the basic mani. It’s the lavender one.
They use individual sterilize tools. Both ladies did a good job and wanted to satisfy me :)
Most high end nail salons don’t ask you to pay till the end. They don’t have drying fans for the nails, so you kinda have to relax in the sofa and wait. My nails were completely dry within 5 min.
I definitely recommend this place, I would suggest you make an appointment. They only have 3 manicure and pedicure station

Great experience here getting a polish change on a weeknight. Walked in without an appointment, was greeted warmly. The receptionist helped me match a color to the dress I’d gotten (great eye!), Following that, I was immediately paired with a friendly, skillful nail tech (Lisa). Her technique was great– she was meticulous and my nails look like new 5 days later.
Definitely agree with other Unilocalers that the atmosphere, cleanliness, and décor are wonderful– the professionalism of the staff is outstanding.
The Zoya products are a plus– so great to have «5-​free» polishes!

I’ve been here a few times and have always been pleased with the service. Great selection of nail polish colors, and they carry Zoya which I love because it lasts without chipping and has less chemicals that harm your nails. The décor is cute, girly and comfortable — I love the comfy couches while you’re waiting and the soft armchairs for your pedicures. Every time I’ve come after work hours, there is never a wait, and they give you free tea or white wine! My nails always come out looking great.

Enjoyed my experience here. Clean. Friendly. A bit on the pricey side. But if you have a few hours to relax and be pampered, you found it. It’s also a cell phone free zone which for some may post a challenge but for others may be a breath of fresh air.
Can’t blame the business but unfortunately there was a loud and seemingly obnoxious customer that came in and although the situation was handled well, I had to sit through my entire session listening to the woman with her loud voice yapping away — Of course this is beyond the business’s control, but because its so quiet in this place, the echoes of her voice were just obnoxious. The same rule they have for no cell phones — they may want to advise their customers to use their inside voice when it bothers others. I just see no difference in talking on a cell phone and someone conversing loudly.

This place is super girly.
All of the chairs for the pedicures are very floral. The décor they have set up would be great for a tea party.
Love the water/​tea set up they have for customers.
I only came here bc my boo dragged me here, but it was cool. I had a nice time and finally got to experience what a «nice» salon was like. My only prior experience was at some hole in the wall joint that had questionable sanitary conditions and poor quality polish.
This place seems to have all of their tools autoclaved and sterilized in sealed plastic bags. I saw my dentist grab tools out of a similar setup.
If you want to nurture your girly side, Sweet Lily is definitely a place to check out. On another note, I think someone should open up a cupcake shop next door…

Why did I come all the way here? Because I got a $ 10 Gilt City card and their cheapest deal (since they target people who watch Gossip Girl, as it was advertised all over the show) was a $ 24 manicure for $ 12 or so.
Got the hot lavender cream, which was just having my fingers dipped into some cream for a minute or two. Then came what looked like a sea salt scrub, but she said it was sugar. My arms and hands were then massaged-​it hurt, but some say massages are supposed to, right? Other than that, it was a typical manicure.
The place is a cute spot, with only room for 3 people doing the mani and 3 for the pedi stations. They didn’t have any fan or dryer for the nails, however-​just sent you over to sit with a pile of magazines as you waited for your nails to air dry.
There might’ve been a celebrity there (though unrecognizable), because while we were given water/​tea, she was doted on, and a bottle of wine came out of nowhere. Interesting.
