VIBE

With its warm, inviting Asian décor in a vibrant red-orange color scheme, Jin Soon offers a cozy hideaway in the heart of the big city and manages not to be cramped despite its close quarters. While there isn't a lot of space here, treatment-wise there is a lot to be had. The hand and foot treatments will lift your mood and rid you of any tension from pounding those hard New York City streets–perfect after a long day or for an anytime retreat. Their signature manis and pedis, on the other hand, will leave you looking ready for a night on the town.

WHY WE LIKE IT

The hand and foot treatments are completely soothing. You never have to fret about any sanitary concerns–your feet soak in marble bowls, and they use new materials for each customer. A key to their gorgeous nail technique: they paint right to left, not through the center, which results in a smoother finish.

WHAT WE WOULD CHANGE

Nothing

GOOD TO KNOW

Appointments are essential–we never feel rushed because of their efficient booking system. Credit cards are needed for reservations of two or more people, so have the plastic ready when you book your appointment. And tips are in cash only.
