Editorial Review for Jin Soon Natural Hand and Foot Spa – by Sandra Ramani
The Scene
Small but well-designed; Jin Soon is artfully decorated with Asian accents. Two manicure stations at the front, two for pedicures at the back and a lovely elevated paper-screen-walled room in the middle for waxing or indulgent "reclining manicures." Nice touches include plush satin throw pillows and beautiful carved foot-soak tubs.
The Services
Soon and her competent crew lavish appendages with personalized care, using products from high-end lines like Kiehl's and Creative Nail Design. Choose from seven spa services or create your own (all soaks are customized with hand-picked essential oils); favorites include "Breath of Milk and Honey," a hot milk soak-exfoliation-steam, and "Summer Oasis," which includes a cucumber and mint massage. To top it off, pick from a large range of lacquers by OPI, Nars, Hard Candy, Esse and CND and cute nail decals. Full-body waxing also available.

Okay, I was alittle skeptical about going inside because from the street view the property itself doesn't look promising. But, once the staff greeted us, sat us down, and served us free incredibly good tasing teas, I was ready for the pampering. Not only were the beauticians slow, and precise, but they worked as though they cared. Also, the manicure was near flawless. I chose the Milk & Honey pedicure. I can't wait to go back! Wonderful little gem worth the 55 bucks I shelled out for the pampering.
Pros: Great customer service, free tea, they take time with each customer.
Cons: Very small, with no seperate area to dry feet.

I got the milk and honey pedicure, and it was seriously the most thorough, precise job I have ever had. I agree that the polish chipped after a week and a half, but that was easy enough to tough up since I owned the color. However, I can put nail polish on my own toes pretty easily, but the scrubbing, cuticle care, sloughing, etc at jin soon took a loooong time, was incredibly thorough, and the results of that have lasted three weeks. I would definitely recommend this place.
Pros: attention to detail
Cons: polish did chip
