Profile

The best part of this nondescript third-floor nail salon is how cheap it is. But when a price is lowered this far, so are some standards of decorum. Not for the modest, the waxing room is often left open to reveal stations shielded by makeshift blue curtains—fine, if you're in for threading; less so, if you're having a $20 Brazilian. The only ambient sounds to distract you from your fear of exposure are a creaky wood floor and the splash of feet in pedicure footbaths resembling ground-level kitchen sinks. Judging by the stacks of personalized instrument cases, this salon's clientele knows sometimes you have to take care of yourself. That includes allowing extra time post-mani and -pedi, since there are no drying stations, simply quick-dry finishing sprays.

I didn’t know Soho nails did waxing jobs too. I went there to do my pedicure but landed up going back every month to get my waxing done. I use to get my waxing done in other place where I paid twice as much I pay in soho nail. I got it done by a woman named Jenny....she is from Tibet and really good at what she does. Trust me when I say I barely felt the pain..... Now that I know such magical hands exist, I will be Jenny's customer for a long time.

Go back to where you came from.

This place was a hidden gem... That is, until SoHo turned into a glorified shopping center... UGH! Now everyone goes there and it's always packed... For those of you who hate it, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! So that I can drop in on a Saturday without a two hour wait! P.S. the plastic tool cases were for the razors, idiot. They no longer use them because they're illegal. And as for the drying stations, they use quick-dry drops that work just fine. Every time I hear someone say, NO DRYING STATIONS?!? I want to throw them down the stairs and yell, go back to Ohio.
