They have great Brazillian waxings, and it is always nice to treat yourself to one of thier excellent manicures and pedicures. Best of all their pedicures do not use the machines that keep bacteria in them. Highly recommended

Pros: very nice peaceful setting

I have been a Why Not customer from the beginning and I must say, it is the best place for relaxation and grooming. The location, the ambiance, the staff - all top notch. Just really quick, one day my usual manicurist was unavailable. I chose a new one and in the middle of the pedicure, I was unhappy with his performance. In the blink of an eye (ok, a nod of my head to the Manager), he was swapped for a new one. What other spa does this, on the fly, no questions asked? I have never been pushed into purchasing services I did not want and the staff has always been overly accommodating, if anything. If you're looking for quality service, a serene setting, and a wonderful staff eager to attend to your grooming needs, Why Not is the place to go. PS: David was wonderful when he did my Manis, Pedis and Massages. And, Alan is just The Best, period.

Pros: Staff, location, interior, services

Cons: They don't do hair! :)

Last month I went in and I had a Deep pore facial with Sammy! It was the best experience I have ever had. My skin has never been so incredibly smooth and soft! Everyone was complimenting me! Not only did I look great, I also felt great. I would recommend this to every mens who needs that revitalizing treatment! I've never been this satisfied!

Pros: good environment, peaceful.

I had a pedicure here once before years ago, and forgot what an exceptional job these guys did, until recently when I went back! First off, this spa provides a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. you feel miles away from the city. Secondly, the location is great! From the soothing foot massage, to the lotions and scrubs, my pedi got me lots of compliments. Most importantly, I love it.

Pros: Ambiance

I tried Why Not for the first time and I regret I ever went in there. David gave me a pedicure and was extremely rude. Granted I do not have the best feet, however that is why I pay 50 dollars to go to a professional place. He made me feel very uncomfortable as he was clearly talking about me to the staff in a foreign language. He huffed and puffed in the process and gave a horrible and quick massage at the end. I have been getting a pedicure every 2 weeks for the last 7 years and I never had this bad of an experience. When I went to pay the bill, I tipped him 6 dollars in cash (I should of gave him nothing for his attitude). He said "That is all you give, you are so cheap". Then I said that he did not do a good job. He said that if I do not have money don't come in here. The manager was not instrumental in mitigating the situation. This place has no class, and over charges for its service. Never go back again!!

Pros: Horrible service, not trained, bad attitude. Very low class and cheap atmosphere.

I had heard a lot of great things about Why Not Mens Spa, so when I was having really blah skin I decided to see what all the hype was about. I was so impressed. I've suffered with moderate acne for ages and could never find a dermatologist or esthetician that could really help, but Sammy was great! She taught me new ways for acne control that I thought wouldn't work--and now they do! She sat me down and looked at my skin and helped me come up with something practical. Most dermatologists give some 12-step regimen just to make it look like they're doing their job, but Sammy helped give me practical advice that really works! And I didn't feel like she was judging me or my skin. She was so nice and helpful! The treatments were also great. I got a micropeel- a chemical peel and microdermabrasion, and acne treatment. I've tried everything on my skin-including microderm and chemical peels but the results have never come close to this. I was glowing for weeks! Overall, fabulous experience

Pros: Friendly, great services

Cons: None

I went to why Not spa for a massage recently as it was recommended by a friend. I liked the ambiance and the masseuse was very nice and extremely professional. When I left, I felt one hundred times better as my back had been hurting me for quite sometime. Why Not definitely did the trick!

Pros: Massage, Ambiance, Professionalism

This is my first time writting reviews, I am urge to share this to all the men in New York. I am a very hairy guy, I have been getting my body waxed for a long time. One day I walked by 19 street and saw Why Not, "Why Not?" It was wonderful! It is by far the least painful waxing I have gotten! No really! I was thrilled! For all the hairy New Yorker out there, this is the place to go!

I have been an wellness mens spa for many time and I must say that Why Not Mens spa is located in chelsea. They have wonderfully beautiful decor and some of the best service you can find. I've been coming here regularly for the past month and I have seen them grow and evolve from a baby to one of the city's most up and coming spas. Normally I'm not the type to write reviews but in this case I feel that it is completely worth my time to say how offended I am about the claims of poor service at the spa. I have tried almost every service and I love the facials (especially with Sammy!!) they do wonders and trust me when I say my skin needs some work. Its not dermatologist quality but please ppl remember that it is a COMPLETELY HOLISTIC SPA which means NO CHEMICALS!!! The massages and body treatments leave me in a state of bliss every single time. I have never had a major issue that needed to be resolved. Any issues or complaints I've had have been completely recepted by the front desk staff. I have observed them with some of the most pretentious a-holes and I gotta tell you they do much better than I ever could. So here's the key to solving any problem: DON'T EXPECT IMPOSSIBLE SOLUTIONS!!

Pros: Great Ambience,Good Staff,Very Clean, Good Service
