Summer spa services

I would like to know as well - especially in the leg waxing department! I always spend upwards of $100 for whole leg and bikini waxes. This seems like the going rate but I would love to find a place that was less expensive.

@BroadwayBK I have been going to York Nails on 85th Street and York avenue for years but I think they are soon going to shut shop because of the economy. They had really reasonable prices $30 for a mani-pedi and $33 for a Brazilian..I do hope I can find a good enough replacement. The other places in the neighborhood are so expensive and the costs really add up when you indulge in these treatments often..

There's a nail place on Graham and Metropolitan in Willy that is offering a mani / pedi for just 18 bucks!

@uptowngirl That is a pretty good price for a Brazilian! I always worry about the quality of wax jobs because I have irritatingly sensitive skin. I'm assuming they do a good enough job as far as skin care is concerned?

@BroadwayBK Yes they do .. I have never had a problem and I have sensitive skin too ..the owner does it herself , she is Korean and very thorough!

I tend to head to Slope Suds for all of my waxing needs. It is not cheap by any means, but they do a good job and I can walk there from home. I also hear J Sisters International do a fabulous job with waxes, but it's not something I can personally attest to.

I've never had a wax; my skin is WAY too sensitive. Then again, I'm lucky to have really fine blonde hair on my legs, which means I only have to shave there every few months or so.

UGH, @ajadedidealist That is NOT FAIR.

I just realized what a number walking around in summer sandals is doing on my feet... They need some TLC pretty soon.

@NeverSleeps precisely! wearing sandals in NYC is hard on your feet..and at least I seem to need a pedicure every week! I guess it would help if I slathered on shea butter and wore socks to bed but I always seem to nix the idea at bedtime thanks to the heat..
