The best way to unclog it depends on what is causing the clog in the first place. What did you put in your sink?
Do you have any small children at home? If so, find out what the hell they put in the sink.

I don't know how mechanically inclined you are, but the first thing I would do is put a bucket under the sink, pull off the trap and check to see if that's where it's clogged.
95% of the time that's where the clog is.
I've never used one of those nylon snakes, so I can't really speak to their effectiveness.
It's just best to not put garbage in your pipes in the first place.

Give Drano or Liquid Plumber a try. The P trap most of the time.

The very first thing you do is get a bucket to catch the water from the drain assembly and clear the pea trap, i.e., do what Muhammed said to do!
If the clog is not in the pea trap, which is most likely, try Drano or Liquid Plumber per directions.
A snake or a plumber would be the last resort, not the first. Also, if you need to use a snake, leave the pea trap off and snake the main drain line from beneath the sink.

Only three things you need to know to be a plumber: shit rolls downhill, don't chew your fingernails and payday is on Friday.

Last time I needed to clean a drain, the P-trap was okay and there was a huge mat of hair just beneath the drain. Took a chopstick and gave it a poke and out it popped into the waiting bucket underneath.

First thing you're going to need to do is to take out the stopper.
Then work the snake down the drain hole a little at a time until you hit the clog.
Easy peasy!

Depends on your definition of “easy”.
