Featured Review

The Scene – With an emphasis on stellar service rather than pampering (OK, they do have a jug of wine), Jeniette is widely trusted in beauty circles for its bare-all "baby" wax (as the clients often refer to it) and even wilder down-there heart shaping and dyeing (yes, dyeing). The dual level space houses five waxing rooms, four facial/body treatment rooms and twelve manicure stations (the few downstairs are actually barcaloungers--utilitarian, yes, but perfect for a time-saving concurrent mani/pedi session). – – The Services – Aside from its affinity for waxing where…

Bruising on my back

by Rednyc714

Hey there

So I recently went to this 'day spa'?

Sorry if I sound a little mean, but this place is not a day spa. It's half nail salon half furniture cemetery with a few cold rooms downstairs in the basement for massages.

I went there yesterday for a massage and it literally was the worst experience of my life. I have bruising on my back and feel like crap because of it. I have never been in so much pain in my life and I regularly get tattooed and work out in the gym.

I don't know where the previous reviews came from but I believe they might be fake ones.

DON'T GO HERE!!

amazing first time !

by jackie12345

I came all the way down from Queens, and you wonder why did I make such a trip all the way from Queens to Manhattan to just get my nails done, my haircut, and my 1st experience of waxing. I am so very glad that I made this trip!!!!!!! I had my first bikini wax and my first eyebrow wax, first experience of them surely was nerve racking, but I am so glad that Rosa, the person that took care of me did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB!!! Not only she is a gentle and a caring person, my eyebrow looks AWESOME!!!! The bikini wax that I was so nervous about...yeah, cause of her being so gentle, it was great great 1st experience of it all!!!

This salon is great!!! They do not only have amazing job for waxing, they do a very good job for manicure + pedicure too!!! My nails look gorgeous!!!! I did not even have to pay a lot for them looking so gorgeous, they were having a CASH SPECIAL that I did not know about, i paid ONLY $30 FOR MANICURE AND PEDICURE!!!

oh ya, and my hair, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cut!!!!

Where else in New York that you can find a well rounded salon like Jeniette New York Day Spa that do a great, extremely good job at every service that they offer!!!!

Jeniette Salon offered well rounded services WITH AFFORDABLE PRICES!!!!! VERY AFFORDABLE PRICES!!!!

Being an icing on the cake, the cute receptionist make sure that I was being accommodate to get all of my needs done, with NO appointment, LOTS of needs, ESPECIALLY on a busy middle day of Thursday.

OVERALL, it was an unbelievable great salon day!!

  • Pros: it was all wonderful, and had great service .
  • Cons: everything was great

Great Hair Removal Service

by MaDaDo

I have lots and lots of hair on my face, from the brows to the chin, and they are coarse. I have been trying to go to a place that could remove the hair w/out making me feel like I'm a special case that needs to be looked at like a fish in a bowl. They remove every last hair with no questions and with attention and 'meticulousness'. I can already feel the hair getting thinner and because of Ms. Lizette I am able to go every week to get my embarrassing problem taking care of. Also, on the eyebrows, I have found no match. I recently asked for the brown to be a bit thinner and she did a wonderful job at it. I'm about to take lunch and I'm headed straight there to get rid of the growth from this weekend.

  • Pros: Some of the staff don't speak English
  • Cons: Price, Professionalism, Meticulousness
