Spice Nails

Haven’t been to this place in forever since I moved but I never had a problem here getting my eyebrows done. Erica is always on point.

Literally just got my nails done here and I usually do my own nails because I’m very picky but since my bday is tomorrow I decided to treat myself. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t the best mani pedi I got. I like my nails very very square. On my way home on the train I see that some are crooked and more round than square. If I hadn’t told her to square them then I’d understand why they’re not square but she asked me how I wanted them and then just rounded some. The pedi was okay but since I had a long way to travel home and it’s cold I couldn’t leave in flip flops, no one helped me but my shoes back on. My left hand AND right hands both have bubbles in the nail polish I noticed as I was drying my nails. Disappointed.

They moved they are now at 120 Graham

(look for the baby blue awning)
This place is really a hidden gem on Graham Ave. SUPER AFFORDABLE + GREAT EXPERTISE!
My story with i-​nail:
I’m 24 now and I’ve never had my nails done till about two years ago. Ever since the new nail art/​3d nail art craze I was more curious to try it out. When I was walking around my neighborhood one day I stumbled across this place and noticed they had advertisements of 3D nails on the window. Daringly, I walked in and asked to see their nail art designs. The owner Erica showed me a ton of photo albums with designs she had made and even new 3d designs that she’s made recently. «This women really knows nails and nail design» i thought. So, within a few moments I sat down with Erica and chose two cute 3D strawberries for my nails with pink tips. I fell in love with this place from that moment on. I love watching Erica work– she is a true nail artist– and its funny because she tells me not to look because I need to «relax» my hands while she works on them.
Tips for a great experience:
–If you are going to get something done that is time consuming: acrylics, complex nail designs + pedicure call ahead of time and make an appointment. — OR — just go on a day of the week that won’t be busy (ex. don’t go on the weekends if you need something tedious)
–If you want 3D nail art talk to Erica — the owner– or if you just want nail designs anyone is good!
+ Bring in a photo of some design you want — they will replicate it beautifully.
*The more vocal you are about what you want, the more they can satisfy you, you know?
I really think everyone should go here! I’m so glad i live close to this place!
ps.
They also do eyebrow waxing and eyelash extensions!

I love this place. its owned by a really sweet husband and wife! the ladies who work here are no nonsense and hard working. they multitask so that you are in and out as quick as possible. they know a lot of their customers on a first name basis and show movies on two screens so you are entertained the whole time!
best part is they don’t talk behind your back to eachother in another language and they charge $ 34 for a pedicure and gel manicure!
highly recommend.

So upset :(so I walk into this place to get a uv gel manicure and a regular pedicure. Everything was smooth sailing my nails looked great and the was okay ! One day later my uv gel manicure is peeling which as everybody knows is not suppose to happen with this nail polish. They usually last two weeks on me without a peel or crack. Well here I’m one day later and my polish was chipping I went back and showed them they were like okay and sat me down like I they were going to fix it for free. So wrong I sit down and she say $ 10. I told her no I’m not paying for anything extra you messed them up. And they acted all dumb now like she didn’t understand English any more !! What a waste a money please don’t go there to get your uv gel nail essence in grand street is way better and has more nail polish :)

I found this place on my hunt for the a cheap, yet great pedi!
First off the girls were just rude, very loud, and dressed like they were at some low class after hours spot. I got the feeling that they ment to open up a slutty «massage» parlor but changed their minds midway thru.
I liked the look of this place, nails up front, pedi’s in the rear. The layout was ok until you get to the middle and off to the side of the nail polish wall. Here you can find the waxing center, there is no privacy. I’m not sure what they do if someone ask for a «downtown» waxing. Maybe they stand there with a sheet? But i was able to view, eyebrows, underarm and leg waxing. These faces we make in the mist of pain should be kept private ladies!
There is no one way to give a pedi. My mom came with me and we both got very diffrent pedis. My mom doesn’t have the greatest feet, but hey your being paid, do your job. This lady flat out refused to cut the nail, rather she just filed it.
My lovely lady only touched the nails, avoided the heel at all cost, and gave me 3 rapid puches to the soles of my feet. Then gave me a 5min leg rub. I had to look over at the woman next to me, as her heels were scrubbed, and adored. Foot envy sucks and so does this place. You get what you pay for and for $ 15 bucks for a french pedi, i didn’t get much more than that.
