Beauty Solution Skincare

Have been going to B Be for over 20 years for my facials. Christine is the best and she always does a great job. I always get compliments on my skin when I go to B Be regularly. Do yourself a favor and always buy a package to take advantage of the discount.

Walked in on a Tuesday afternoon with no appointment and a nice lady named Lina took care of me. I gave her a photo of what I wanted and she gave me exactly that. I was worried that it wouldn’t come out exactly like the photo since she didn’t use any tape or stickers for the negative space, instead she free handed everything. She let me examine each nail before she moved on. She also offered to put a rhinestone on each of my pointer finger nails. Took about an hour and a half.
One star off because they said $ 45 before I started then it turned to $ 47 (guess the rhinestones weren’t free) and some imperfections I noticed only after I left
Nonetheless she was very patient and did a great job. Definitely recommend Lina.

Cute, clean little nail salon that does an EXCELLENT job. They are always friendly and pay such close attention to detail. Truly a gem in chinatown – love my gel manicures!
(they also have a room in the back for other spa services such as waxing, facials, massage, etc.)

Not bad, not great. My nail polish chipped the next day but the people were nice.

Got a regular manicure for $ 12.50 (they charge 50 cents extra for using a cc). The girl I had took her time and made sure my nails were perfectly prepped and painted. She didn’t rush at all even though I came in around the time she was about to leave. Definitely coming in again.

Really bad service. DON’T go there!!! Went there with my gf, we were trying to pick the color, one staff was mumbling we take so long. Nails were done really bad. The girl who did my nail even asked for extra tips although she did a really lousy job. Seriously? I wish i could give zero star…

Don’t get your nails done here. Went there with four other girls before a wedding and the service was horrible. My friend wanted one specific color which they didn’t have and they rudely said «what you see is what we have.» Another friend got all bubbles trapped inside the nail polish and they didn’t want to redo them. One of the employees there is new and was very slow and with bad service who requested a 20% tip (mind you tips are based on customer satisfaction.) if I was you, don’t get your nails done there. They cracked or chipped minutes after you leave the salon.

Truly the best gel manicure I have ever had. Melody has such amazing attention to detail. It was a bit reversed with the cuticle cream and towel/​massage after nail polish done but I cannot argue with the results! Highly recommend Melody to anyone who wants a mani staying at the Wyndham Hotel. 2 min walk and 30.00 for service. Loving my nails!

Probably the best nail salon I’ve tried in Manhattan. The interior is very cozy and classy at the same time. They cleaned my nails pretty well and applied the my gel manicure meticulously. It’s a little bit pricey though but still, they took really good care of my nails.

The manicurist was more interested in talking with the other workers than doing nails. She barely looked at how the polish was applying. The topcoat is all over the cuticles. I had to get one nail redone because of a smudge and the other manicurist sitting in the customer seat didn’t even bother getting up. No one was actively rude but no one was friendly either.
There are better manicures for 10 dollars.

This place is great. Good quality, and friendly staff. It’s a little small, so you may have to wait, but not long.
Massages are good too!

Excellent facial
Spot and nail salon.
I came here on a reccomendation from a frequent client who is also my friend. I love getting facials, but more importantly with my acne prone skin, I need facials regularly and good ones. So when my friend told me that she is I love with this place downtown in China town, I shlepped all the way from Brookyn to give it a try. When you walk in the place is small enough to be a small nail salon. But when you check-​in and a nice Asian lady comes in and ushers you in inside through a door, you realize the depth and vastness of the salon. On my first visit I was booked for a facial but because I got there earlier I decided to also have my arm waxing done as well they only charged me $ 30 for full arms. They did an excellent job and I’m always prone to ingrown hairs which I can happily say I did not have too many waxing job. My facial was so good. I know most facials are one hour but this one lasted almost 2 hours they massage is not only my face but also my neck my back and my arms. It was almost like a facial with a half body massage. Can’t get better than that:). The facial itself was really good I don’t know the products they use but my skin which is very sensitive reacted very well to them. I had a lot of blackheads and they removed all of them. Even though it felt like she went to town on my face I didn’t walk out of there all red and miserable with the way I looked. When I checked out the price was a little high for what I normally pay. But I really love that and I took the recommendation of my friend who told me to buy a package of five which reduced the price to about $ 80 per facial: what’s nice is that they even let you pay the full amount in installments of two. I just cashed in my second facial out of the package I bought yesterday and I am still very pleased with them. I highly recommend Cindi as your aesthetician she speaks good English, and can even give you good Chinatown shopping recommendations.

While the nail technician was quick, her attention to detail was a concern and the reason I won’t be returning. Additionally, I was asked to pay before and then harassed for a tip while my nails were drying. Thr technician said I forgot to tip. I am still drying my nails, I’ll tip you when I’m done if I want. Will not be returning to this establishment. Really pretty colors and I wish this had been a better experience…

So far so good. So close to my shoebox apt so ok I like place… so big I likey too much! Mani/​pedi for $ 25.00 sans tip. So give the tips when nails are so clean and you can pay now please. Thank you! Come again! They clean you and youre on your way, esp since theres other baller custys waiting.
Appointments accepted as well as walk ins. Chinese tv shows playing, good massage chairs when ya doin the pedi. The ladies runnin it seem very reasonable. They are honest hardworking asain ladies who try to accommodate your needs the absolute best they can. Its not an attitude salon. Not a bitch all about your problems to the hairdresser salon for cheapo therapy or worst, stuck listening to his estupido boyfriend gripes.
Its a get shit done salon. If you want it, ur going to get it and in a timely manner as well.

Love it although massages could be long during manicures and pedicures. I also think I had a cuticle infection from here (maybe not– I don’t know) Regardless, this is my to go spot.
I think If they had longer hand and feet massages, they’d attract way more customers.

I have been coming to this spot to get my regular facial done for the past 3 years and my skin had improved a whole lot since then. Before I got recommended to come here, my face had a lot of flaws; my cheeks were basically just full of pimples and whatnot. But ever since I bought the regular facial package, my skin had never been better before. The routine took about 2 hours and each time I’m there, I always end up falling asleep instantly because it was just so comfortable and the aura was really relaxing. If you ever come here for any service other than mani and pedis, I would highly recommend Janet. She knows what’s best for my skin and does an amazing job. You won’t be disappointed.

The place is clean and neat. They do walk in but expect to wait, appointment would be recommended. Their technician is gentle and take their time doing your nail. I got the package deal which is $ 150 for 6 gel manicures. If u want to do french or the glitter then it is additional $ 10. I usually get the glitter ones it is definitely worth the extra $ 10.
Place by far is my favorite

Updated review: Respect is due where it is deserve!
Randomly walked in on a Saturday afternoon and it was also Chinese New Years. Didn’t occurred to me that they might be closed. (Door was opened to their employees to come in and tidy up the place and to be open on Sunday)
Luckily, they were super accommodating when I walked in on accident. Took me in and did my usual manicure. By far one of the best nail salons I have been too. Superb service.
Highly recommended.

Have been here once week for the past month or so. Really great speedy manicures, good pedicures haven’t tried any of their other services but it seems really nice.

They keep your appointments, but their manicures and pedicures are really just OK. The first time I went, I was able to check in via Unilocal and get 10% off the services. The manicure and pedicure ended up being OK because it wasn’t that shiny and it wasn’t anything spectacular. The second time I went, I went with 3 or 4 other girls and we all got french manicures. I brought my own base and top coat (Sephora X something polishes) and it looked MUCH better than the other girls’ manicures. Their top coat really sucks, it doesn’t do anything for the polish and it takes forever to dry.
If you come here, it’s an ok experience, but you can make it better by bringing your own top and base coats.

Nice place. The only reason I didn’t give them 4 stars was because I booked 2 pedis and 1 mani (3 people). The time was agreed upon, but then one person had to wait about 20 min. for the 2 pedis to be finished before getting a mani, while an employee (maybe boss?) sat around doing nothing. When an other person came in for a mani, she sat down and started working on her. For no explanation on why one person in our party had to wait, when there was someone who obviously was a manicurist twiddling her thumbs, you get three stars. The massage was nice but way too short. Nice colors, good work.

My go to spot for manicures and pedicures! They have this card that lets you have a free manicure or pedicure after 10 visits which is a great way to get customers coming back! They give a great mani and pedi I must admit. My favorite person here is a girl named Joey, I always end up having her (I don’t ask for her) but I love it. The one time k didn’t have her, my nails were cut a bit crooked which is fine, nothing I can’t fix. I find this place a lot better than other salons around because they’re very nice and doesn’t talk bad about any customers.(I speak Cantonese so I hear when other salons do so)

I came in with some fairly low expectations, having read some of the more meh reviews of Beauty Choice Salon. I think they changed their name, because the signage doesn’t say B Be Beauty — more like Beauty Salon or something. You can identify it by the large pink flag that says «NAILS» jutting out into the street.
It’s a pretty small and cramped salon. They only have two pedicure stations so be prepared to wait. Their mani-​pedi special is $ 25 (+1.65 «tax») and they *do* accept credit/​debit cards. It’s actually a very clean, nice looking salon — everything looks well put together, the paint colors are nice, and the stations are well lit and look relatively new. They have a good selection of colors — a lot of Essies and quite a few OPIs. It’s not anything extremely overwhelming, but it is adequate enough that you don’t think they’re lacking.
The attendants are all pretty nice, and the lady at the front desk seems alright — she can be a bit brusque but she seems very competent. I got Rachel, who was very nice and thorough (except for the part when she took a call on her phone) and overall did a very good job. Her paint coverage was great (no bare nail sides left exposed) and overall I’m very happy with the end result.
You can definitely get the same quality for cheaper elsewhere, but I’m pretty satisfied with my experience at BB — very sweet attendants and overall good job with the mani-​pedi at an OK price.

5 years later and still a client! I’ve obviously continued to use them… On and off. Not because I go soemwhere else but because I have «no time» and partly lazy. The best part is that it is exactly how I remembered it. I went yesterday for a facial and I just love it.
I love going there, I feel refreshed, my face feels clean. I love everything from my aesthetician to the scent of the facial creams to the scent of the towels! It is exactly the same… E.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e.
Thanks Wendy! You are thorough and gentle when needed yet you’re firm with those stubborn impurities! you address my concerns. My face loves you.
FYI. My favorite part is the extraction and the shoulder/​arms/​hands/​face massage.
LOVE!

I have been to this salon/​skin spa 6 times already and feel that it deserves some sort of recognition. It started with a set of 10 facials as a gift from my aunt, a face full of black heads, and unalleviated stress. After coming about every other month, I can really see an improvement with my skin. Mind you the facials are painful as they use meticulous extraction methods to get rid of zits, blackheads and dead skin. I even teared up at one appt! But I think it was worth it because it really made a difference. The girls have magic hands when they massage my sore face afterwards. I have only gotten the diamond facials and like it a lot. The only complaint I have about this place is that they tend to be a bit loud when they are doing the facials. They move machines/​equipments in and out of the room without trying to be quiet and sometimes the people talk a bit too loudly during the facials. I have tried a manicure once so far and I really liked it. They have a lot of color choices and seem to always have good business when I’m there. Will definitely come back again!
