Pink Nails Spa

This place is decent. It’s just so… busy. Which is not a bad thing (especially for them). But as a customer; it feels like an assembly line. Between trying to get you in and out of the chair as fast as possible, and always having several people waiting– it’s rushed.
The cheapest manicure I have come across. It’s not a bad manicure, but it’s not the best. Quality does suffer with speed and price. I did have an eyebrow and lip wax done here which went very well.
I think this place is good if you’re close by or in a rush. But if you’re looking to get a bit of pampering and a better manicure, I would go elsewhere.

Great nails as long as you can get over the service, which in my personal experience is not great. Been there twice now, my search for a nail salon with good quality plus service continues.

I am not a traitor. I absolutely love my nail salon and my nail lady and i am faithful to her, but when these prices keep getting higher, it forces me to cheat. In search of a nail salon/​spa in my area (park slope) with old school prices is tough! I did my research and read tons of reviews and filtered through so many places but i finally found one.
Pink Nail Spa has amazing prices. I came here on a Sunday around 5 and to my surprise it was packed. The lady told us it wouldn’t be long and to pick a color. Now prices can be fine but if low quality is matching low price then i rather just pay millions for a manicure since i have OCD when it comes to my nail services.
I must say i got a regular manicure which came out fairly nice! No complaints. I also had eyebrow waxing which i take seriously since i have thick eyebrows and one slip could do severe damage. She did them perfect!!! Which made my experience awesome!
I will most definitely come back here for all my needs!
Now for the excitment!
Reg manicure: 9.00!
Gel manicure: 26.00!
Pedicure: 18.00!
Eyebrow wax: 7.00!
Compare prices:
Reg manicure: 15.00
Gel manicure: 35.00
Pedicure: 24.00
Eyebrow wax: 10.00
Thats a steal for woman when you add it up every week!

Loved my regular mani-​pedi ($ 25). My nail technician was meticulous and asked questions. She also gave me a really wonderful leg/​foot massage and took care of rough skin without any additional charge. Since I’m a sucker for massages, this place also really hit a home run with the post pedi shoulder massage (also included). I feel like a new human and will definitely return.

After reading mixed Unilocal reviews about literally every salon in park slope, I went into pink for a basic manicure simply because they are across from my pet store. It was a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait. They are not exceedingly clean, well organized or friendly, but I found them pleasantly efficient and competent. Basically nobody talked at all which was sort of nice. I thought it was odd that they ask you to pay before they put on polish, but I did and tipped the girl well because she had already done a really great job on my cuticles, which were haggard. Overall the attention to detail was great for the price, and I’ll definitely be back.

There is a worker named Joy, I always saw the people make appointment with her. She gave everyone a good experience. She is sweet, English well enough.

Much better than my stop before! No frills kind of establishment. You let them know what you want and they tell you the very reasonable price. Full stop. Period. Point blank! The price never changed like that shop Floomie a few doors down. The name has been changed to protect the guilty… or me.
The nail techs are professional. My service was quick. I was allowed to choose the amount of colours I wanted and if I felt like painting each of my nails a different color t’was my prerogative at no extra cost, especially as I’m using no additional service or varnish.
I like them but the shop as small as it is was a bit crowded. If I’m in the area and in need of I’ll be here but only if I’m in the area.
Thanks guys.
The End.

Went here for the first time today. Very satisfied with the services and the attention to detail as far as my pedi. I also really enjoyed the foot massage and the back massage. I also ended up getting my eye brows waxed. It was pretty much straight forward. They could use a coat rack though. That would be my only «complaint».

This is a great place here in the neighborhood for mani, pedi and maybe even a massage.
I am a guy and I look forward to my visits.
My wife also uses Pink and does waxing there too.
Reasonable prices and nice people working there.

Since I work around park slope, I always go here to get my nails done. They have an amazing selection of opi and Essie nail polishes. I’ve never had their waxing done there so I can’t say anything about their waxing. The girls are so friendly and they do professional manicures, and the prices are amazing compared to the other salons at park slope. Today I just got a french manicure on arylics which I got in sunset and it looks so amazing.

Not worth it. I’ve been going here for years and it’s hit or miss. Sometimes they’ll do a totally decent job and it’s the cheapest mani/​pedi in the neighborhood but the last several times (4 at least) they’ve done a terrible job. Today’s manicure was so thick that it got ruined with hours, despite having put them under the dryer for 15 minutes. I had to have a polish change once teaching my destination. Skip this place. There are so many other nail salons to choose from nearby.

Pink Nails has been my go to place for awhile now. I have brought a few friends and pretty much find either they love it or hate it. I think that’s a fair review simply because while most of the ladies are great a few could use a little more training. That being said I find this only happens when its swamped! They do a great mani pedi for a great price of $ 22. They also have a spa pedi which is great and gel mani for comparable prices. Joy is a wonder and if shes free you’d be mistaken to not go with her. Also, it never hurts to end with a 10 minute massage.

It’s pretty clean for a typical hole-​in-​the-​wall nail salon. That’s about all I have to say about my experience there. Nicole was my nail girl and she was so rude. I can handle kinda rude if you do a good job but this was two negatives. I asked how much ($ 22) but didn’t mention it was more if you charge it. When she was doing my toes she was so rough with the cuticles it really hurt. When I went to pay before she put on the polish I gave her my cash. She asked me about the tip and I said I’d hand it to her after she was done (who asks that???) like I always do. After doing my nails and then my dry time, I was getting up and arranging all my bags and she comes up to me and asks for her tip… WTF! Chill out lady. This chick was too much for me and didn’t do that good of a job. The other girls seemed more attentive than her.

Since moving to Park Slope 5 years ago, I’ve been coming here religiously. The staff is courteous and the mani/​pedi here is divine. For $ 22 (not including tip), you get a brilliant set of nails that last 1 ½– 2 weeks. I get compliments all the time and I tell all my gfs to come here. If you are feeling extra sinful, splurge for the 10min/​$ 10 massage.

What a horrible experience. I was in the area and needed to get a manicure (i am a bartender and like to present a clean product & service to my customers). I checked the ratings on Unilocal but didn’t read reviews in detail.
They shoved both hands into a tiny bowl, did not trim or file my nails. I even had a spot of dirt under one nail that I had to specifically ask the be removed. No massage and generally unfriendly staff.
Not sure how their ratings got so high except for their low rates. But this is NYC where manicures are ALWAYS less expensive than anywhere else in the country.
I will definitely never go back. Thankfully it IS NY and I have many, many more options. Pink seems spoiled because their location makes them in higher demand.
Do yourself a favor and walk 12 blocks down to 6^th Ave & 14^th Street. I didn’t think there was a big difference before, but after going to Pink I can surely say that there is a huge difference.

OK guys, secret’s out. This is where I go for my perfectly manicured nails. After 4 years of being their loyal customer (albeit there have been times where I regretfully «cheated»), I will be sad to move out of town and no longer see the familiar faces who greet me and do such a marvelous job each and every time. For those worried about sanitation, there is an OBVIOUS tool cleaner located in the center in light of those below who’ve complained.
Enjoy the best $ 22 mani/​pedi! I know I’ll miss it!

I have to say my first experience here was absolutely marvelous. I stumbled across on my way back from Whole Foods. They have an affordable rate for mani pedi for $ 22. The nail technician that I had was named Shirley. She was absolutely amazing! She gave the best massage I have ever had by adding a ten minute foot massage service ($ 10). She offered to sample different colors on my nails, spoke English well enough, very sweet and calming. She payed close attention to detail. The color selection here was wonderful. I will most definitely be coming back. Wish they had a mon-​wed type special. I know $ 22 is affordable for most but it’s great when they have another bonus deal. The space was very clean.

They do not use new or hermetically cleaned/​sealed tools, which I am almost positive is now against the laws set by the Board of Cosmetology.
The clippers and cuticle pusher she used on my feet were out in the open on a towel in a plastic box. They could have just been used on another client for all I know. I haven’t been to a salon where they didn’t take the tools out of the bag right in front of me in years.
There’s a reason that mani/​pedi is $ 22. So scary. RUN. And see the Women’s health excerpt below.
«Do make sure you see them sterilize.
Contrary to popular belief — that famous blue water is not a great sterilization tool. Dipping instruments in a tub of blue water does nothing to sanitize the tools for the next user. All non disposable metal implements should be packaged in a sterile pack and sterilized in an autoclave resulting in a change of color on the package arrow. This means that the metal materials are completely safe and sterile for every use and every client!»

After seeing the mostly good reviews + the convenient location I decided to give Pink a shot. Big mistake. I went in for a mani/​pedi, around noon on a Monday. There were a few employees and only one customer, so I was able to sit down right away. They have the usual color selection (in the days of designer nail polish OPI and Essie are only the usual, not «a great selection»). I picked my color and sat down in a pedicure chair.
Pedicure pros:
Good massage chair
Everything is clean
Pedicure cons:
No massage
Actual pedicure was sub-​par (nail polish applied unevenly, missed spots)
Next I was led over to a manicure station, and it only goes down hill from here. Things started out ok: I was given a too tiny bowl of water to soak my fingers in, I was asked what shape I prefer my nails, etc. As she was cutting my nails and trimming/​pushing my cuticles things started to get painful. I could see that she was being too rough with my cuticles and I asked if she could be a bit gentler. Next thing I knew one of my cuticles was bleeding, great. Not stopping for a minute, she just put nail polish on anyway which burned. Since I had already paid I let her finish putting nail polish on the rest of my nails, although I discovered that it was not just the one cuticle that had been cut.
When I got out of there I took a good look at my nails, they looked awful and 2 of my fingers were swollen near the cuticle from being cut. I had to wait until my cuticles healed to take the polish off, even though it chipped after just a few days.
Manicure Pros:
None
Manicure Cons:
Painful
Uneven nail shaping
Polish chipped in 2 days
No massage
One sentence review: If it sounds too cheap to be good, it probably is.

Alright, I must confess… I’ve upgraded the star-​rating of Pink Nails in my head long ago, but have been hesitant to divulge.
I’ve been back more than a handful of times. With my mom. With my girlfriends. With myself, and more times with myself. It’s become somewhat of a Sunday ritual. Start the week off right, at least get your nails primped, darling.
You see, it’s quite a steal for how nice and clean it is. Surely, you aren’t going to get the royal treatment for a $ 22 combo, but they’ll certainly do you up right, and you’ll be out of there in a hurry. They’ve got a lovely selection of colors, take credit cards, and I’ve gotten some serious shoulder rub downs (about $ 1/​minute) that have blissed me out, max-​style.
It all depends on who you get. I have my favorites. I’d probably not tell you even if I knew, but I don’t know because they don’t wear name tags and don’t make small talk (ain’t no thang, I like to zone). It’s first-​come, first-​served as far as I can tell anyway, so not sure if knowing the right gal to go to would even help you out. But, take your chances…9/10 I get a really lovely set of digits, and that other time… well, still looks better than doing it myself. I’ll take my chances.
