Went in at 515 for a regular mani/pedi. Pedicure was ok, nothing special but looked nice when she was done. Sat for my manicure and everything seemed fine but the nail tech kept bumping my nails with her fingers/hands so she kept having to reapply/fix the polish she had already done. This resulted in a somewhat streaky manicure but I had already been there for an hour and a half and still needed topcoat and to sit at the dryer. She did the top coat and it evened the lumpy polish out a bit so I was happy when I sat at the dryer. I waited at the dryer for half an hour and my nails did not dry. After 20min a different tech came over and put quick dry drops on my nails. At 30min I called the new tech over and said at 30min my nails should be dry. She pressed on each nail and then told me to wait more. I asked her to remove the polish because it was back to being lumpy after the original and new tech both kept touching it to test if it was dry. It was all dry on top but underneath was still fully wet so each touch moved the wet polish around. When the new tech started to remove the polish it came right off in a mushy blob and the new tech even said something about it being wet. I got my shoes on and left after paying for the pedicure. I finally left at 740.

I was there for over two hours. I got home and took my socks off and my pedicure is ruined because the polish on my toes hadn’t fully dried. This pedicure had been drying for a full hour by the...

Wonderful experience at this nail salon! I was in the area for an appointment and had some time to kill + was in desperate need of a pedi. Google brought me to Y & C 😊

I came in for a spa gel French pedi and a simple manicure. My nail tech did a fantastic job from start to finish. She was extremely meticulous and detailed, making sure she was continuously doing things to my liking. The French came out just how I like it. She also gave incredible massages! The massage with hot stones that concluded the pedicure was super relaxing. Overall, my feet feel so clean and pretty!

My nail tech also did a great manicure - I needed a simple one with a very light clear pink color and my nails look very neat.

I paid in cash and got a little discount, which is always a plus. If you are close to Bryant Park and need to get any work done on your nails, I highly...

I asked for a manicure and underarms wax. The manicure was fine, but the painting was not done well. It was streaky and bumpy, not shiny or smooth at all. For some reason they also did the nails before the wax, which was not smart to begin with. The wax was terrible — the woman working on me didn’t seem to know what she was doing at all. She would rip the strip very lightly, which was very painful and didn’t get much hair off at all. Eventually she just resorted to tweezing, which she proceeded to do for about 10 minutes until I realized she wasn’t just tweezing stray hairs, but a whole patch of long, unwaxed hair! I had to guide her on where and how to wax. She also spilled hot wax on my forearms several times and I had to tell her that it was too hot and ask for strips to take it off.

In all, not a good experience. Going to get my...
