What People Are Saying About J Sister Beauty Salon Inc

The Scene
Located in a turn-of-the-century Vanderbilt townhouse on 57th Street, J.Sisters--founded and run by seven actual siblings from Brazil--made its name over 10 years ago with top-notch manicures and pedicures. Over time, the salon added a second floor of treatment rooms and an expanded spa menu, including facials, body wraps and massage.
The Services
Most of the press and word-of-mouth on the J.Sisters Salon has been centered around its infamous Brazilian bikini wax, a favorite of celebs and regular folk alike. (Not for the weak of heart. Let's just say this service gives new meaning to the phrase "a shave and a haircut.") The salon is also home to an excellent team of hair stylists and colorists, some of whom have even developed a J.Sisters line of haircare products.

JP did a great job. She's really professional and thorough. Having tried a couple of other (pricey) places, I can say that I've been wasting my time elsewhere. It was relatively painless and she went back with tweezers to catch any stray hairs. Everything seems really well done. I'll almost certainly be back again. I just wish the walls in the rooms went to the ceiling! It's kind of semi-private in that way.

A generous friend was kind enough to treat me, so I feel bad panning this place, but only for that reason. The staff here is unbelivably unwelcoming, well -- downright rude. I had an unhygenic mani/pedi where the nail tech cut me pretty badly, didn't apologize, and didn't bother to clean up the bloody mess before proceeding with the rest of pedi. They actually refused to use my personal set of instruments (professional grade and at least I knew MINE was sterilized) and insisted on using their instruments which had not necessarily been autoclaved. You don't get a foot or hand bath/massage, either, and no moisturizing of the new skin after sloughing off the dead skin -- kinda defeats the ultimate purpose of peeling off the old skin to reveal the new, moist skin if you don't protect the new layer!! The polish selection is severely limited, but the one upside is that their polish lasted about as long as OPI does on me, which is about 7-10 days, before chipping at the tips. I would never come here again and warn you all to STAY AWAY!
