REE Nail & Spa - New York (NY)

3 /5 Liz G: Very relaxing nail salon and spa. I always feel good about their services. However, I noticed that my gel manicure was not painted all the way to the cuticle. This is what my nail job looks like only 2-3 days after I got them done. Why? I guess I have been very stressed and very exhausted with my job that I didn’t have time to micro-manage them — which honestly should not be MY responsibility. I need THEM to do better. I paid about $140 for a gel manicure and spa pedicure (w/ 10 min foot massage). My stuff needs to be on point. In this economy?! Please. Do not play any games. I feel like I wasted my money. And they never seem to say thank you after getting a tip. Disrespectful.

1 /5 Aya Mohamed: I visited this place a few times. Initially, I had a wonderful gel pedicure, though it was quite pricey at $72 with tip. On my second visit, I opted for a regular pedicure and spent 50 minutes under a fan to dry them. They even applied a dry nail spray before I left. Upon arriving home, the polish was smudged. When I contacted them to have it fixed, they insisted I pay, and if I wanted gel polish, there was an additional $20 charge. This seemed unfair since they assured me the nails were dry. After the fix, I only received nail polishing, not the full pedicure service. The staff was not accommodating, and the service lacked uniqueness. The desk assistant asked me how much I wanted to tip at the end of the service (which was 15 minutes max btw), I said zero because I didnt receive an additional service, and I returned to fix their mistake. She scoffed and didnt say bye. In total I payed $74 for a simple gel pedicure, way more than the base price of $58 all because I wanted them to fix their mistake. Do not recommend.

5 /5 Claire Sheehan: I’ve been coming to REE for years now, the quality you get here just can’t be beat. First - it’s CLEAN, and it’s also large enough that you don’t feel stacked up on other people getting services too. Second - the staff, I’ve had sessions with almost everyone that works there by now and I don’t have a single complaint. If you have a design in mind or can’t figure out exactly what you want, the staff will help you - and not just throwing out any idea, they are realistic and they care about the work they do - they want you to look and feel good! Third - the general atmosphere, this place is my treat to myself, I come here to relax and feel a little pampered and it’s generally the vibe from everyone else. I think maybe once (over many years) I’ve had another customer talk loudly on their phone next to me while getting a pedicure, but that’s it. Fourth - the price, with their rewards program and discount for paying cash, this salon is really competitive for places offering less than half of what I’ve mentioned above. Fifth - the quality, my nails are so healthy now and my gel manicures last forever. I’ve gotten many regular manicures here and they’ve all lasted easily 2 weeks before chipping. I’ve never been cut or scraped by any of the technicians and they are meticulous when it comes to polish application. I take the train every two weeks to come here and will happily continue to do so.

5 /5 rebekah jayne: I am so happy with this salon for gel x! It was my first time trying it, I thought it was a super fair price $85. They took their time, was meticulous with shaping and trimming my cuticles and listened to exactly what I wanted. Can’t recommend enough! Super clean salon with a rewards program too

5 /5 Aliza Yaillen: I love Ree! Always nice Staff, clean environment, and always do a great job on my nails. I’ve been going to them for a few years and only have good things to say. I always do a great job on powder and gel and regular manicures too.
