    As per usual I had a great experience at Modern Spa. I had an appointment. I had an appointment with Chloe at 1:00 but she was able to see me an hour early. She did an amazing job with my nails and I got a beautiful metallic blue manicure. It wasn't a polish or a powder, but it was a kind of tint that she put on with a plastic applicator. She told me that she could make it last and I think they look great. I'm not surprised that I had a great experience at Modern Spa and Chloe is always the nail tech that I trust the most. She's very talented, quick, efficient, and knowledgeable. I look forward to my next appointment and I'll make sure to call ahead to book an appointment with Chloe.

    I've never had my nail look this bad so quickly after getting them done. They looked pretty clunky right after being done- which should have been my first clue. The top coat start chipping days after and this is what they look like 1 week later. I've truly never had my powder gel nails do this before. I also had a strange situation where I had someone from the nail salon two doors down do my nails. I didnt think much of it (thinking same management or something) but now I don't know if this horrible manicure is a reflection of Modern or the girl herself. Needless to say, I definitely won't be back here. Going to have to get them redone somewhere else and much soon than I normally would for powder gel. Not worth the $!

    Was looking for a salon open late as I get off work late and found this place. Had the foot reflexology paraffin spa pedicure and I loved it! The place is clean and I don't know the name of the woman working on me however she's Hispanic and I'm in love!

    Got cat eye acrylics and they're gorgeous! Was super fast and clean. They also give a little back massage when you get a manicure.

    Clean!! The service was great and everything here is spotless. I always come here when I am in NYC for a full body massage and pedicure.

    Worst manicure I've ever received! First of all when you book on the website, it says that the manicure is gonna last one hour... kidding me I was in and out in less than 15 minutes!!! The woman rushed so quickly, and she didn't even soak my nails! Which made me bleed. And gave me one coat of polish, and it looks like shit. DON'T COME HERE!!!!!

    This review and pics are a week late. Modern Spa has always been my go-to spot, and I've even left a review before. But after my last visit, I just had to share how amazing it was! I finally found my nail artist--Lili! She did an incredible job on both my toes and hands. She was super careful and took the time to go above and beyond what I had asked for. Her creativity and kindness really stood out. From now on, I'll always request her! Overall, Modern Spa is fantastic with their service. It was a super hot day, but the owner and Lili made sure my friend and I were well taken care of, offering us free tea and ice water. Their attention to detail and customer care is just top-notch!

    Cannot recommend for dip/SNS. While the service was good, my nails were cracked, scratched, and chipped almost immediately after I left. They gave me a free massage, which was great, but due to the poor quality of the manicure, I will not be going back. Picture shows my nails about 2.5 weeks after manicure.

    Update: after reading the reviews I see the same exact manicurist who served me yesterday was rude to another woman. I asked for a nail polish change and was willing to pay full price for the color change. I requested another manicurist because I felt uncomfortable. I spoke with the manager and 15 mins later THIS same exact manicurist approached me with an attitude AND pressed 2 fingers into my upper thigh and asked rudely "you want color change?" I replied I want another manicurist to do it and she walked away. Extremely inappropriate, unprofessional service by this woman. The manager offered for me to come back tomorrow and they will do a free color change. I declined. I'll get serviced else where. Pedi rate 0/10 star. I went out the way for this salon after reading 4 stars but NEVER AGAIN. Pros: I was immediately greeted. The manager up front was kind. I received a complimentary green tea after I asked. Cons: My stylist started off pleasant. I don't know what happened. The regular pedi doesn't include a foot scrub. She seemed irritated with me or it may have been something else. All I can say is the vibe was off. The massage chairs in the way back of the salon look older than the ones up front. It was not a comfortable chair. There were nicer chairs available but I was put all the way in the back of the salon. When I asked the stylist how to turn on the massage, she seemed irritated by my question. I couldn't find the remote. ‍ The shape and polish of my nails, unsatisfactory. Based on reviews this place looks like a hit or miss depending on the stylist. In this economy, I won't be visiting establishments like this. I've had regular mani and pedis at a couple other salons in the area. I'm used to regular pedis that included 5 min foot rub and a good foot scrub. After a long day at work I was really looking forward to this but overall it was just an extremely underwhelming experience. I wouldn't come back or recommend to a friend. Run, friend!

    Japanese gel manicure, all nails broken and chipped within a week!
    Nhu D.

    Not even one week of Japanese gel manicure and each nail has already chipped and broken off. The soak off prior to this was rushed and the nail tech did not properly cure each coat before moving on to the next. I felt pressured to tip and I'm just so upset that I wasted so much money on this set. They typically do not provide refunds and instead insist you come back so they can fix it but I'm out of town for several weeks, such a waste. I do not recommend this location. Avoid at all costs.

    This gel manicure is less than a week old
    Alysha R.

    I came here on the evening of last Tuesday September 19th for a gel manicure and regular pedicure. I arrived at 7:45pm, which was probably too late and my fault. Unfortunately, my manicurist rushed my nails and it shows. I'm posting this review on Tuesday September 26 with photos taken less than a week after. As you can see, my gel manicure has uneven opacity and is flaking off. It has cracks in some areas and is completely peeling. It looks awful. Gel manicures should last at least two weeks!! I can't believe that I spent $70+ 20% tip for such a horrible job. I'm not one to complain, but I'm mad that I wasted my money on such poor service. I will have to go somewhere else to redo it. My pedicure was a similar color. During the pedicure, the manicurist did not wait at all between applying layers. Unfortunately in her rush, my manicurist had me put on my socks and shoes to leave way too soon after. I probably should have spoken up. When I got home, the pedicure was completely ruined. It was squished and the polish had to be redone. I went back a couple of days later and the staffer happily agreed to redo it free of charge. I had it redone on Saturday and paid a small tip regardless. I came here once before for a gel manicure which was good. This time was a disaster. The staff was nice and accommodating enough, but this quality is unacceptable. I would recommend: 1. NOT visiting this salon after 6 to avoid a rush job 2. Wearing flip flops for your pedicure 3. Only using the OPI or CND brands 4. Speaking up during the service, even if it makes you look like a Karen

Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well!

We arrived a little before 1 and right away we were escorted downstairs into the spa section. For a Wednesday it was pretty dead and the only people that were there was just me and the bf. The couples package came with * 1 hour massage * 30 minutes private soaks with milk & honey scrub * 30 minutes in couples suite which includes jacuzzi tub & sauna Since it was my boyfriends birthday I requested rose petals like I had seen in the Yelp picture. I was a bit disappointed to see that it looked nothing like the picture and it was fake rose petals which I thought was weird. I'll give them an A for effort though although it looked nothing like the picture. The massage was amazing. She did a really great job. Most of my massages are pretty rough but she did a great job with light to medium pressure. I really liked the glass of champagne and the chocolate truffles. The private soak was nice but I really enjoyed the sauna. It was definitely a great experience. Came out feeling revitalized. My boyfriend really enjoyed the massage and the amenities.
