Yo Yo Nail & Spa

I had an awful experience here today. They gave me attitudes when I paid tips. The woman around 50 wearing glasses yelled at me: «you are so stingy, we earn very little salary, you should give us 20−30%.» Seriously, I have never been asked for tips in such demanding and Rude ways. You can only get high tips by offering good service rather than forcing your customer because of your low salary. the manager should teach their employees how to treat their customers.
I live in the neighborhood, I went to this place just for the convenience. But I will never go again! And I wouldn’t recommend !!!

It’s my first time to try this nail salon and I’m very disappointed!!! I went here to relax and pamper myself, NOT TO RUIN MY DAY!!! The old lady, with the short and curly hair with glasses was VERY VERY RUDE! She even yell at me! She was rushing and didn’t do ANYTHING!!! She forgot to clean my left toe nails and I saw her that she was about to put the polish, so I asked her and said, I think you haven’t clean this one yet? She yelled and said, I already did that! What do you want me to do??? I was like, okay?! Don’t you ever yell at me, I’m just saying it’s still dirty! But she insisted she does. (I hate arguing with stupid people so I just let her do whatever she wants.) And for sure, I’m going to tell everybody, friends and family how rude and bad service they have!!! So, don’t waste your time and money here.

I’ve been a frequent customer of this place and have gone here over 15 times. Today I have decided to NEVER come here again because of the following reasons:
1. They do not do a good job for gel manicures. The ladies here always over apply the polish so when you put it under the lamp you will see a ton of bubbles start to form.
2. They file your nails in odd shapes. When you ask for round nails, each finger will be filed to a different shape which makes some of your finger nails to look all pointy.
3. I believe that tip depends on the quality of service. When someone does not do a good job and there are tons of bubbles on your manicure and you have to correct them a few times, I will give them a 10% tip because they don’t deserve it. When this happens, the manager of the place will attack you. She’s the loud one with the glasses and short curly hair. She always raises her voice at customers. She basically makes a big scene to purposely embarrass you even though her manicurists did not do a good job.
I’ve honestly had enough with this place, and guess what?! You just lost a frequent customer. I go here for convenience, but the poor service is something that I will not tolerate.

I can’t speak for everyone at this place, but Tony is amazing! He is efficient yet meticulous and so nice :) I see him for a manicure almost once a week and it’s always perfect.

This is a no frills nail salon. The décor is sparse, but the prices are very reasonable (mani/​pedi for $ 27) and I’ve been here multiple times and found the service very consistent. I do have to say my last pedi smudged, but this is the first time it has happened so I think it’s more likely the polish than the service; and when I returned the same day to have it patched up they were very willing to do so and took care of it immediately. If you want an affordable, solid mani/​pedi, this is your place. If you want a more luxurious experience, I’m sure there are other places at higher prices.

It pains me, literally and figuratively, to give this place a 1-​star rating. It’s my neighborhood nail salon, and in the time I’ve lived in the area I’ve exclusively come here for their $ 27 mani/​pedi deal. Their service is normally good quality, however today I’m writing a review to warn others of the experience I had there this afternoon.
I came in for a mani/​pedi, my 10^th visit on my punch card, and was given Amy as a technician. She has done my nails there once before a few months prior, and I remember her being forceful and the experience being a little painful (some people may like it, but I don’t enjoy being scrubbed and picked at in an overly-​forceful manner. I’m all about getting excess skin off, but I don’t want to be wincing the entire time). I got the callous removal option, which is an additional $ 8. Amy left the gel wrapped on my feet too long, and it began to burn. When she removed the towel and wrap and began to work on my feet, I began to feel intense pain. I realized that she had taken off the skin on the tips of multiple toes, leaving pink patchy spots that were searing due to chemicals being in them, and then began to bleed. When I brought this to her attention, she kept repeating «I cut it off. I was making it clean for you.» When I offered the suggestion that you can file a person’s skin to remove any build-​up instead of cutting and causing them pain and creating open wounds (talk about a health hazard!), she only continued to defend herself.
The rest of my visit was incredibly uncomfortable as she finished up the rest of the pedicure with these open nicks on my toes. Although she did apologize, the damage was done. I was not offered any sort of discount or refund for my trouble. I’m disappointed because this is my favorite salon in the neighborhood, but I think the service I was given during this visit and the discomfort it caused me (not to mention the worry I have about getting and kind of bacteria in these cuts) warrants me taking my business elsewhere.

No complaints! They are always friendly and efficient. Nothing fancy but they get the job done. Wish they had a few more shellac colors but besides that it’s a nice clean place!

Love this upper east nail salon. Best prices best gel and regular color options, they have amazing deals and they give you a punch card to get a free manicure, they have great customer service, love it there!

More points for having the big screen on college football. For me that’s living the dream, being pampered while watching some football.
My aesthetician was kind of worrisome at first. Seemed like she couldn’t see that well. Despite that she did a good job with the nails. It bothers me that they charge to remove the gel but overall it doesn’t cost more than 30.50 at the moment. Their special prices also don’t have special times which is nice.
I thought the rest of the salon although small looked clean. It wasn’t busy on Saturday afternoon which I never mind.
They have a punch card system if you’re a loyal customer. Free manicure after 10 and $ 22 gift card after 20. I opted out because I was randomly in the neighborhood but it doesn’t seem like a bad option.

I come here before all my trips and important events. They’re cheap, good, and fast. I wish they had a few more gel colors. Ask for Rita, she’s the best.

This place is convient to my apartment and their prices can’t be beat. It is a no frills nail salon that is very clean and will get you in and out quickly. The staff have always been nice and do a good job. Plus they give you a quick back massage while your nails dry. My gel manicure and regular pedicure last a good 2 weeks.

No complaints about Yoyo Nail. Have been frequenting since they opened a few years ago. It’s bright and clean and they are efficient and generally do a good job. The salon is not as luxurious as some other salons in the area, but it’s also less expensive, $ 24.99 for mani/​pedi a good deal. Some of the techs do a better job than others but that is a given no matter where you go. I go at off times and avoid on the weekend. Never have to wait.

I opted for the manicure/​pedicure deal, which is roughly $ 22, and I may as well have taken $ 22 out of my pocket and ripped it to shreds.
The manicure was very messy and unprofessional; the manicurist couldn’t even manage to keep between the lines when painting my nails and I ended up with nail polish all over my hands.
The pedicure was worse– a quick soak in the tub and a 5 second «scrub» was done, and my callused heels were not touched.
Will definitely not return.

I love this nail salon. I hardly ever have to wait, the regular manis always last close to a week and one time I messed up my nails, came back the next day and they fixed it quickly and with no charge or sense of annoyance They sat me right down to take of it, didn’t give me a hard time or even question that I had it done there or when. I love them! I Never go anywhere else in the neighborhood anymore since I discovered them.

I’m also so confused by the bad reviews, I live right around the corner and go here almost exclusively and am so pleased with their service and their staff! Everyone is so nice, and they recently redid the décor, and I’ve never once had a complaint about the cleanliness of the salon, they take great care of it. Jane is amazing and every 2 weeks I go to her for my gel mani. She’s so attentive, friendly and great at what she does. I highly recommend Yoyo!

My favorite spot in the neighborhood for a manicure! Friendly owner, great mani & Pedi and a great massage. New polish choices too! Loyalty card too.

I’m baffled by the bad reviews. Maybe they went prime time on a Saturday when any nail salon will feel rushed.
I love the mani/​back massage package. This place is not the fanciest but it is reasonably priced, has a great color selection, and I always leave happy with both my mani and my chair massage!

This is my go-​to nail salon! I had been coming here since they open which is when I moved in to the neighborhood.
Their nail polish selection is great, they always have the new colors available. I haven’t tried the gel, but they seem to have a good selection of gel colors as well.
It gets crowded but the wait is never too bad.
The service is good too; in over a year of coming here often, only once I felt rushed. The rest of my visits here had been great!
The price is unbeatable, and the loyalty card worth it!
Btw! I almost forgot the most important thing; their manis last me up to THREE weeks! Any other place and the third day my nails would be chipping. Not here!

I will never be back here despite the $ 26.50 mani pedi any day of the week. My mani/​pedi lasted about a mere 30 minutes. She did not scrub my feet, nor did she massage my hands. The callous on my feet are still prominently there. The woman that did my mani pedi was completely rushed and she even went outside for 15 minutes in the middle of my pedicure due to the fact that another woman who received a poor waxing treatment was screaming at her. When she came back into the nail salon I asked her what happened and why she disappeared, and she completely ignored me.
A day later, and my nails have already chipped.
This place is the worst. Spend a little bit more money and go elsewhere.

Thirty minutes for a mani and pedi is unacceptable. You come here to relax and enjoy your time. Instead a shotty job is done. Super rushed. Did not feel like the paint job was good at all. No massage whatsoever. Very disappointed. I won’t be back. The décor gives this place their one star
