Editorial Review for Pastel Nail & Spa – by Julia Israel

In Short
In-and-out nail services and chair massages are the primary draw at this East Village mini spa, where the cutesy color scheme lives up to the spa's name. An abundance of busy manicure stations face a wall of flat-screen TVs, and the leather pedicure chairs hum with electric massagers. Private rooms in back are reserved for skin treatments, including express facials for quick complexion boosts, body scrubs like the bio-enzyme exfoliating wrap, massages and more.

User Reviews for Pastel Nail & Spa

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

i give pastel a top-rating for their waxing services. i've gotten pedicures there too, which have all been fine (not earth-shatteringly wonderful, but certainly not disappointing). i've gone to pastel over two-dozen times, and have probably only had the same waxer once or twice, yet some how all the women there know how to wax quickly, effectively, and properly. i have lived by the beach in california and in florida, and all the places i tried there are terrible by comparison. in my opinion, this is a perfect place to get a brazilian/bikini and underarm wax (i've never been burned, which can happen easily with under-arms). my only complaint has to do with one of their four rooms-- it's like the size of a closet. i'm really tall, so maneuvering on a table that's pressed up against 2 spartan walls was annoying. but, as i said, i've only been put in that room once, and i'm sure the staff would've offered to change rooms had i complained. waxing is never pleasant, but pastel certainly makes it tolerable, and the results are great. i hope you have a good experience too.

Pros: fast, friendly, efficient, painless (as possible, anyway), and clean
