For slow draining/plugged bathroom sinks then most of the problems are either in the trap, push/pull or within 10' of your sink drain line in most homes. For a home owner, I recommend buying a 1/4 inch snake and taking out your push/pull or drain stop and then snaking out from the sink drain and if you unplug the sink drain make sure you run water down your drain as you snake out the sink drain and that will make your snake clear the pipes better. If you can't get your push/pull out, then get a bucket and take off the trap then you can snake out your drain and or clean out your trap. When you put the trap back together its a good idea to use pipe seal/dope around your compression nuts or in some cases buy a new trap.
