Valley’s white-walled space is inspired as much by its fast-paced downtown location as it is by its namesake SoCal region. The clothes are your usual below–14th Street uniform: slouchy jeans, designer handbags, heels, moccasins, and swanky T-shirts by Grey Ant and Kain. But Valley’s customers are treated to more than just a standard selection of garments. Waxing rooms—for authentic Brazilian hard waxes—and nail stations are attractive alternatives to browsing through upscale sweatpants and trendy dresses. Two couches against the wall and a coffee table full of magazines give shoppers the added option of lounging—with an antioxidant-packed smoothie made with Acai berries if they like. Although situated on a slightly dingy corner, Valley’s unassuming little-of-this-little-of-that approach makes for a fittingly quirky addition to Orchard Street. — Melissa Noble

Upon moving to NYC from LA I had to find a new waxer and nail spot. I don't think I can ever move again now that I have found Valley. The wax was the least painless I have EVER had, they use this special wax that hurts so much less, and the waxer was the best I've ever had, so gentle. The nails were impeccable and they do this amazing Japanese nail art, I went in for a basic mani/pedi and came out with incredible art on my nails. The place itself is comfy and warm and CLEAN, they gave me my own box of files that they said they would keep at the shop for me for when I return. For reals, this place is so great and I am really happy I found it. The staff was also so sweet and welcoming. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend checking this store out! I have gotten unbelievable manicures there, Brazilian bikini waxes, and I love their clothes! Go see this place, its amazing! The girls that own it are great. I highly recommend a trip to Valley.
