    I love this place. My first time coming here was a very special experience. I never had a manicure or pedicure in my life until I came here. Love the cleanliness of the place. I got the charcoal spa for my pedicure and let me tell you that this was so soothing refreshing relaxing. The energy of this place felt so good that I felt like I needed to be in here.The staff provided wine and also tangerines. I recommend everyone to come here.

    I love this place! I've been going there for 2 years and they all do an excellent work. The girls are super nice and friendly, everything is clean and they always make sure you leave the salon happy. They also give the best massages ever!! The salon has a reward program so after going there 10 times you get a regular many on the house!! And they are adding more colors constantly. Go check it out, totally worth it!!

    Amazing nails!!! So nice and great color selection. My pedicure was great and my sister's manicure was so perfect!!

    Spa pedicure is the best way to shed your winter skin and recharge from stress. The spa is clean with all implements professionally sanitized and individually wrapped. They set the atmosphere with a cleansing incense and Zen like atmosphere. I have been coming to Pema nails for 17 years and I the standard of nail care cannot be beat!!

    I'm a customer of Pema's nails for about 20 years. I really love this place and I wouldn't trust going to any other nail salon.  The boss is a very friendly, funny and welcoming lady. The girls that are working there are very nice and most importantly very detailed doing their job. My favorite is Pasang. When I do my regular manicure people ask me if had a gel manicure. Their message services are also really good especially at the times I feel some body pain. You must give the place a try. You won't be disappointed and you will be supporting a small and amazing business.

    Horrid pedicure

    They do not know how to do nails at all. I paid $21 for a pedicure plus $3 more than generous tip equaling $24 total. The regular price for a pedicure is $18 and was told I need to be charged $5 extra for choosing an Essie gel couture polish which is not even an actual gel polish... (Mind you I could have done actual gel polish for $15 Groupon at Brandmerk Salon a block away.) The lady had already made me take off my shoes and sit in the pedicure seat so I told her to match the color for me then. Instead of charging $5 she bargained to charge $3 so I agreed because she was too lazy to actually get a couple of options for me. That by itself threw me off, I am not used to having to bargain to get my nails done and it is definitely not professional. I told her to do a square shape for my toe nails and they are no where near the shape I wanted. I could have done a WAY better job by myself. She put 2 coats of the polish on my feet without any base coat when I asked why I am not getting a base coat she said the nail polish itself has a base coat.... After applying 2 coats, her work was very patchy and looked like a 3rd grader had done it for me so I asked for a 3rd coat. Not only was it patchy on my actual nails but it was SLOPPY. I don't understand how she was digging her nails so painfully underneath my nails to take off access nail polish but still ended up smearing nail polish on the skin surrounding the top and sides of my toe nails. To end it all, I sat in the drying chair for over 30 mins without it drying due to her horrible job. Doing nails should be fun and not a chore and the 3 times that I have been here it has always been a chore. I only came because H&K nails were completely booked and Dahlia was closed, I should've actually tried the nail salon next door to them. For $24 I feel cheated completely when I know there are way better options just 1-2 blocks down. I will not be coming here ever again no matter if it is the last option of the day, I would rather do it myself than be stuck with a horrible nail job and -$24. I don't care if they are giving me a good 2 minute massage on my legs and shoulders, they still are HORRIBLE at doing nails.

    My first wax experience here was not good. The technician was not at all empathetic to the pain I…read morewas experiencing and she basically rushed through my first ever Brazilian wax. I returned two days later to wax my legs and get a clean up of the hair left by the first tech. I was fortunate to get Daeja who was thorough, and she touched each area as soon as it was waxed, which helped to soothe the immediate pain. I quickly changed my next appointment from the first tech to Daeja. If you don't like walking barefoot on sketchy floors, I suggest bringing a pair of slippers when getting a leg wax. Also, I bought several of the recommended products and broke out so severely, I had to see a doctor who prescribed anti inflammatory meds. Check the ingredients before buying the products or do a patch test to ensure it agrees with your skin type. I look forward to my next wax with Daeja because I know she will be thorough and she is customer-friendly. I'm rating my second experience in this survey, not my first visit. If I rated my first visit with the other tech, I would have to rate it one star.

Now that I moved a few subway stops away, it takes me a bit longer to get to this location but it's still closer than Grand Central and plus with the Wax Pass offer, you get an extra free wax by going to this location for all of your waxes. I always sign up for the wax pass offer when it's available because you get 2-3 waxes free and it's an overall discount on the service as well. I've tried other wax places outside of EWC and prefer EWC. The quality and consistency is the best. Let me know if you'd like a referral! :o)

(LOOL i removed the background so i do not expose my messy kitchen). i am certain the technician is skilled and amazing at her job, so it could just be how my nails are -- or there could be a bunch of other reasons why this happened. my lesson of the day is to always trust the reviews on yelp!

After the service, I noticed that there were huge chunks of skin ripped out below my eyebrow and at my upper lip. She told me it was normal for waxing and blamed it on my pimple? I've never had this happen before. I also noticed they double dip for the wax. I received no apologies, absolutely nothing. Never coming here again and would never recommend this place to anyone. ** Update: Went back and the manager, Ava, came in to apologize and offered a full refund. I appreciate her sincerity and she took full accountability for her employee's actions. The woman who did my service apologized but continued to make excuses as to why it happened and blamed it on the weather (?). She obviously didn't take accountability, but I didn't want to waste anymore time arguing with her. **

Pedicure itself was fine but when it came to tipping at the end, I wanted to tip through card / Apple Pay. However they insisted on cash or Venmo. I don't carry cash and my phone was dead (so no access to Venmo). HOWEVER they forced me to charge my phone with the salon charger so they can receive tip through Venmo. This was humiliating and not to mention entitled of the salon to assume that they earned a tip. They acted this way even though there were other customers in the salon watching all of this happen. After charging my phone for a min, they admitted that they can accept tip through card. The pedicure itself was fine but I am never going back here for the horrible customer service. Up until this point, the service was great and I was planning on making Kawaii Salon my main spot for manis and pedis. Ended up tipping $10 on $60 pedi.
