I want to cry leaving this salon. I was already so busy and didn’t have time for a mani but wanted to take a quick moment for myself. I asked for shellac, the girl barely filed and cleaned my nails and started moving so quickly. She painted my nails so messily that I asked for chrome on top thinking it would cover all the mistakes, blobs and bubbles. She got chrome stuck all over my fingers and proceeded to file at my skin to remove it. So painful. I said I didn’t feel comfortable paying for this manicure. It’s honestly the worst manicure I’ve ever received. The massage was like two slaps at my hand. They made such a scene about me not feeling comfortable to pay and I gave in and paid for the $50 horrible manicure. Don’t waste your time or money.

She was so STINGY w the amount she had in the brush then tried to gaslight me into thinking it was only uneven cuz i was banging my hands on the lamp like if you’re bad at doing nails just say so… they couldn’t do anything i was asking for they could t do acrylics or cool designs on the nails and apparently couldn’t put on normal gel polish evenly either. DO NOT recommend.

FURTHER EDIT: writing this a couple days later, my nails are still broken and cracking. Lol they charged me $20 for removal. Note that their website states $15 for gel removal. They offered some top coat to mask the damage and to “heal my nails” for free. Would not need it if they didn’t literally assault my nails, nor did it do anything. They did not offer any discounts for the gel removal service. Go here if you enjoy being gaslighted and lied to LOL———EDIT: in response to their reply. The staff said that they did not know how to use the nail drill that is typically used for hard gel. This was said in Cantonese. I understood this. You all knew what had to be done, but continued on with the soaking despite my protests. Staff also insisted it was acrylic. Do not gaslight me lol————First time ever leaving such a negative review, but truly upset about my experience here - would leave 0 stars if that were an option. Went for a gel removal and gel mani. My nails are ABSOLUTELY WRECKED and are bleeding from their work.They essentially soaked my nails in acetone for 1.5 hours, insisting it was necessary for removal, despite my many protests. They insisted that I had acrylic nails - I said “no” several times. I had expressed throughout that I had gel nails and that I had never used acetone for removal. I felt the pain and told them to stop, but they kept buffing away.Couldn’t do the mani in the end because my natural nails are now paper thin. They tried shifting the blame on the natural state of my nails - I don’t see how anyone’s nails can withstand that much acetone.Not a confrontational person so I paid the money for removal, but am literally so upset because my nails now bend at the lightest touch.

Wandered in after work (I work nearby), Yanni is great! She did my nails (white chrome); Im pretty rough with my hands so no pics this time 😅🫣. I went to Yanni for eyelash extensions too -- they are long and elegant, and dont feel heavy at all. Pic is from right after appointment, on commute home via subway 😆

Went in for a gel manicure and was blown away by the amount of attention and precision my nail tech used! Will be going back. Highly recommend!

My friend and I went in for the express package which includes a massage, facial and mani ✨ It was excellent. Massage was really nice and relaxing and facial left me feeling hydrated and glowy. Mani I wish I had opted to upgrade to gel but still cant complain. Overall would come back especially for the price / quality

Esther was amazing!! I did X Gel for the first time and now there’s no going back. So much better than dip and again Esther is the best!

To say my mani/pedi was “meh” would be generous. The tech asked if I wanted her to put some lavender salts into the foot bath. It was only when the manager came over right before she put them in to tell me it would be a nearly $40 up charge (!!!) that I stopped her.They said they could use fast-dry drops, which they definitely did not use for either the manicure or the pedicure.I can’t believe I actually paid for the manicure. I didn’t even see just how bad it was until I left. My 7-year-old could have done a better job. I needed to redo the whole thing as soon as I got home. I’ve never had my nails filed so poorly, the polish was uneven, and there were bubbles everywhere.

I needed a new nail salon in the area and I am so happy I found Soho Bubble Spa! First, their prices are great - very reasonable for the area and the services they offer. They offer online booking, which is incredibly convenient. Sandy did my gel manicure and did an excellent job. The salon is also very clean and quiet. I highly recommend!!

I had such a lovely experience here! All the ladies who work there are so sweet and have great customer service skills. They really wanted to make sure I was happy. Pat did my nails and they are flawless! The price was great too. I told them I was getting my nails done for my wedding and Pat was super detailed. Definitely recommend a visit!

Worst pedicure ive gotten in a while it was super messy and i had to have her clean up my cuticles and watch her fix her filing job, she over filed one of my toes and needed to be coached to make them even get close to looking even. wish i just left my toes alone

Ive gotten my nails done here 5x now (always gel mani/pedi) and theyve done a great job every time. They use quality nail polish, the salon/stations are clean and organized, and the staff is super nice. Give them a try if you are in the area!

If i could give 0 stars i would. Worst place I’ve ever gone to do a meni/pedi. So bad costumer service. Had a worker argue with me about the result of my pedicure. I’ll never be back and Wont be recomending anyone Else to go!

Had the best impromptu spa day here a few weeks ago, and have been thinking about when I can go back! All of the ladies were so kind, I got a package for a massage, nails, and facial. The massage and manicure was definitely my favorite part!

Happy that they were able to accommodate us as a walk in. We got manicures and were happy with everything. The staff were friendly and the place was very clean. Saw that they offer many other services as well. Would go back if we are in town again!

As soon as I arrived to check in, I was asked to pay upfront as they stated their register was closing. I came in at 5:40 and the spa closes at 8. That was a big red flag but I already booked and had my card on file, so kept my appointment. The massage was ok and upon leaving I wanted to pay a tip but didnt have cash. They suggested to use my card. I said I thought I couldnt because the register was closed. The receptionist kept quiet but felt the discomfort. I tipped with my card and vowed to leave my review & never patronize this business again. I believe they saw my ethnicity and profiled payment upfront based on that! Any Melanated people in the area, beware! It doesnt feel good to travel into town, spend hard earned money to treat oneself and face this! Very Disappointed!

I called ahead to ask if they do walk-ins and they said yes. I came in immediately and they were getting ready to start on my nails but I told them I couldn’t do a pedicure anymore because I didn’t have time. Suddenly they couldn’t do my nails anymore and said they were booked up. So keep in mind you should only come here with a confirmed appointment and a full package mani/pedi booked.Edit to respond to the reply below. The removal was already discussed and approved. They did not want to proceed because I did not have time for a pedicure along with my manicure. Again, if you are considering this place please go elsewhere. There are plenty nail salons in the area that provide really nice service and aren’t just trying to up-sale you, waste your time, and then provide false information.

I stopped by Soho Bubble Spa last weekend for an impromptu massage and I was wowed by their customer service and friendliness. I believe the spa opened recently because the space was immaculate; everything was super clean and tidy. I opted for the 90 minute signature massage and Im glad I did. Wendy was my massage therapist and by the time she was done, I felt like a new person. I wanted to schedule another massage with her during the week but was sad to find out shes only there on weekends. I will definitely be back soon though. Highly, highly recommend Soho Spa Bubble if youre in the area.

Soho bubble Spa customer service is very disrespectful, rude, unprofessional. I don’t suggest anyone going to the establishment. The front desk lady hangs up on people. When you simply ask for a manager, she hangs up the phone on people. Super disrespectful not a great environment.

I had a horrible experience. I showed for an appointment that they couldn’t honor. They had taken too many walk-ins and couldn’t understand why that was an issue. Do not waste your time!

Not bad. Some things are still limited. Not a lot of direction. Not a whole ton to do for a big place. Still pretty crowded for a Wednesday. Not bad would consider again. Massage was great

Excellent place for a spa / massage. Instead a team of professional masseurs. The place is clean and very serviceable. Both my wife and I had a one-hour massage that was one of the best weve had (and weve had several massages in our lives). Their signature massage allows you to ask to concentrate on the places you want and the massages go over every such place very professionally. Recommended for New York travelers with aching backs and legs
