Best Milk & Honey foot soak, very small, incredible customer service

by mfs0314 at Citysearch

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.

the most thorough pedicure

by anonymouse251 at Citysearch

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

Love love love it

by buttercup525 at Citysearch

I have been going here for years and Jin Soon NEVER disappoints. I love being able to book an appointment with my best friend (where there is just the two of us getting our pedicures and manicures at the same time) and sip tea while being beautified. I love being able to choose from various high end nail polishes like NARS and Givenchy. The prices, albeit higher than your run of the mill spot, are well worth it. This place is great and it's the only place I get pedicures, period.

• Pros: Intimate setting, Attentive Serivce, Attention to Detail
• Cons: None whatsoever

Unique and Fun

by doll212 at Citysearch

I work very near by to this tiny salon and i visit it often. I love that it is small and intimate, i LOVE the tea! It is very relaxing, the staff is nice and attentive. But I have to say it is a bit too expensive, and for some reason every time I get a pedicure it always looses its' luster after a day or two. I personally just enjoy the experience, it is very zen-like. Sitting there, just reading gossip mags, sipping on yummy tea and get your feet massaged...what else can you ask for?

• Pros: tea, products, atmosphere
• Cons: prices

quality has gone down

by glorybee25 at Citysearch

i've been a loyal devotee for a few years but in the last year, it's gone downhill. my mani/pedi felt rushed - they were doign both at the same time and i didn't appreciate that. my pedicure doesn't look nice and shiny, it looks/feels too thin. for my manicure, she barely did any work on my cuticles and a day afterwards, i can see tons of hangnails and dry skin. a $10 place by me does a better job, but i thought of treating myself. while it is very nice and relaxing, i have to say, i'm disappointed with the sub-par quality.

Star-quality service for celebs and mortals alike.

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.

Simply The Best

by lab321 at Citysearch

Having tried many nail salons in Manhattan, I can safely say that Jin Soon is the very best. Everyone there is very meticulous when it comes to clipping, shaping, and polishing and the products that they use are superb, from Ahava lotion to Nars polish.

• Pros: Service, Value, Atmosphere

THE BEST!

by braithwaite at Citysearch

It doesn't get better than Jin Soon's! Not only is the atmosphere relaxing and intimate, but the staff could not be sweeter. You're nails will never look healthier, and your pedicure will last forever.

I have recently moved from New York to Atlanta and there is nothing I miss more about New York than Jin Soon's.

• Pros: Reasonably Priced, Great Atmosphere, Open seven days

Treat yourself

by crackermom at Citysearch

I just got home from Jin Soon, where I had the best pedicure of my life--the Summer Oasis (with a foot bath of cucumbers and mint leaves). I was able to get a same-day appointment when I called, and the staff was super friendly and professional. It may be pricier than your usual walk-in nail joint, but it was definitely worth it. Atmosphere, service, and quality of products can't be beat. Go!

• Pros: Friendly staff, Excellent products, Relaxing ambience
• Cons: A little crowded, Pricey but worth it

Relaxing and Impressive

by mac388 at Citysearch

I was a little nervous going to Jin Soon, since many things in NYC can be overrated. I was pleasantly surprised! The staff is warm and welcoming as well as accomodating. I felt like I was relaxing in someone's home while being treated to a pedicure and manicure. I got the chance to meet Jin Soon, and she's definitely a woman committed to quality (she was calling her other location, making sure everything was going well). Once I get enough money, I'll be back!
