I've been ordering their nail polish and accessories online for years, finally made time to viait in person. Excellent manicure, Lisa was very thorough and the results were beautiful. I highly recommend JinSoon. read more

Started going to Jinsoon after Ten Over Ten closed, and for the most part, it's been a wonderful experience. The salon is clean and usually peaceful. They have an extensive collection of colors, including celebrity manicurist Jin Soon Choi's own line of nail polishes. The majority of the manicurists have solid technique, and expertly shape nails and deliver smooth, streak-free manicures in no time. My one suggestion: Space out the clients! Nothing kills the vibe of a relaxing nail treatment than being crammed in next to chatty customers--especially when many other seats are open. read more

The space is beautiful and they offer tea, water, or proseco to the customers. However, the service has gotten worse over time. The last time was especially disappointing with the pedicure being very rushed. The technician painted my cuticles and when I asked her to check the cuticles, she said they looked fine. After a few hours, the polish started to chip around the cuticle because it was, in fact, all over the cuticle. I came in the next day and asked them to go fix it and got very unpleasant attitude from the front desk employee. She said it looks like I scratched the polish off my nails myself. I didn't feel like arguing and offered to pay for the polish change. The front desk person happily charged me. Needless to say that after being a client for years, this was my last visit here. read more

Visited Jinsoon per a friend's recommendation. It was actually the first time I've ever had a pedicure done so I was really nervous and had no idea what to expect. With that said, it does also mean that I have nothing to compare this experience to. The nail salon has a really nice aesthetic and gives a cozy feel when you walk in. We had the first appointment of the afternoon, so it was a little confusing as there were many clients waiting around but the workers were all moving around trying to get ready to start the afternoon appointments (at least that's what I assumed?). My friend had recommended specific technicians to book appointments with, but unfortunately they were both unavailable at the time I wanted. You go in and they tell you to look at the wall of polish to pick one out. As a newbie, I had no clue what I was looking for (aside from color). I did hear someone else ask about whether certain types were quick dry so I ended up just picking one out from there as well. The overall pedicure seemed to go way faster than I expected. I'm not sure if it was because my toenails were already fairly short so she didn't have to spend much time filing them, but I was the first in the whole group of people to be finished (understandably, some of them might have gotten different treatments), but I just didn't expect it to be that quick. I thought the pedicure looked great on the first day or two but as my nail started to grow out, the polish started to peel near the cuticles as well as on the corner of the smaller toes (thankfully, my big toes are still in good condition and since I chose a very neutral polish, it's not super noticeable). Again, since I've never had this done before and don't actually paint my toenails ever, this could be a very normal thing (?). Overall, I would go back though may request a different technician just to see if the experience is any different. read more

I came here with my two friends the morning before one of their engagements (eek!) and it was the perfect place to have a subtle celebration. It was just fancy enough to start the morning off special without really giving away that it was going to be a big day. We had an appointment for 3 manicures and after choosing our colors, we were able to sit and get started right away. I loved the rose petal soak and the color selection was incredibly extensive. Everyone found a color they loved. I went with a dusty rosey pink from Jinsoons brand and had a few days of no chips so I was happy. The space is very open and clean and looks more like a full spa than just a nail salon. Would love to come back for more big days. read more

Tried this place last week. The lady at the front desk was giving me anxiety. Nail technician did a terrible job taking my gel polish off, for the first time ever my nails felt like paper thin, she was extremely rough on them and didn't let the gel soak long enough. I also absolutely hated how my nails turned out as they were poorly put on. It's been a week today and they've mostly chipped off already and for some reason my nails feel so sticky and I wonder if they put regular polish on instead of gel. Not going back. read more

Jinsoon - Gel nails - Waxing Near Me - New York, New York

I did a polish change. Despite the written service description (which included filing and shaping), zero filing nor shaping was done. Polish application was subpar (my old polish looked better than the polish that was applied -- nowhere near the expert application I received at another salon). In addition, I added a ten minute massage that was awful. It was not a massage. It was a moving of too much lotion around my skin with a light touch. It was gross. Also, the upcbarging at this salon is awful. Without informing me, I was charged for warm lotion. I was also charged for my daughter's buffed nails instead of polish application as part of her full manicure. Not a very lovely experience all around. We will not return. read more

Went with my friend as an early birthday present to her. Can gladly say that I throughly enjoyed the experience. We decided to stop by after grabbing some brunch, and the service was extremely pleasurable. Super spacious and relaxing atmosphere. My toes were crisp and clean. A perfect pedicure! read more

Not impressed. The place is clean and has many colors to offer. I came to get a gel manicure and regular pedicure before a trip. My technician took a while to start my pedicure even though I had an appointment. She seemed nice, looked tired and rushed through my entire many pedi experience. I had to ask her redo my left big toes initially because the polish coat was uneven in certain areas, not realizing the right big toe is also uneven. When I first brought it up to the receptionist, she had the audacity to state it's because my nail is "dry". No. You can clearly tell the layers are uneven. My tech didn't even end up applying a clear top coat. Wtf. My gel manicure looks hideous. I asked for my nails to be slightly shorter than when I arrived and she cut my nail super short and did not maintain the shape I had originally came in with. The paint job is uneven and doesn't even cover my entire nail. It's a sloppy job. I needed her to redo the top coat for one of the fingers meanwhile she really should've redid all of them because there are streak marks on every single nail. I should've just painted my own nails because I know I would've done wayyyyyyy better job than this. I would not go back because of the poor quality in their painting especially for the price they charge. What a waste of money and time. Place gets 1 star for its cleanliness. read more

I love it here. Even though it's in Tribeca the price is totally reasonable, similar to what I've paid in Astoria and such. I absolutely LOVE the front desk peeps, super nice, personable. All the nail techs I've had thus far are so wonderful, never have hurt my nails or cuticles, listen to what you want. The vibe is super chill, industrial chic interior design, clean, cozy. I couldn't recommend this place more. read more

This is by far the best nail salon I've been in Manhattan. I've received Balm of Purity (this one has essential oil) pedicure since I didn't know much of what makes expensive one better than cheaper one. The nail salon is very spacious and didn't feel crammed from other people. The nail tech Martha (who did my toes) was very friendly and did a good job. I was impressed how much nail polish colors that store offered and all the tools were made by Jinsoon. I recommend the salon if you want somewhere quiet and to get pampered. read more

Very disappointing experience today at this salon. I go here every month for well over a year now, usually seeing the same nail tech and was informed she doesn't work there anymore before I booked my appointment this time. My pedicure came out with uneven nails, multiple layers showing, and splotches everywhere. I politely and quietly tried to show the mistakes. The receptionist said there was nothing wrong and brought the technician over, too. They both told me 1) I was looking at my nails wrong 2) it's just the way that color dries 3) They just don't see an issue at all. Very embarrassing and disappointing to feel like a place I am very loyal to (and usually provides great quality services) tried to convince me that there were no mistakes this time. They fully charged me and did not offer to fix the mistakes. read more

I was seeking a nail salon to get some pampering done, while I killed time to meet a friend. Upon looking at Yelp's suggestions in the area, this salon stood out to me; unbeknownst to me, it is named after the high end nail polish brand. I scheduled my appointment, and came back to an empty salon. My technician was very soft spoken, communicative and conscious of water temperature and other services I required. This place is so pristine you can probably eat from the floor. It is well lit, has minimalistic decor yet modern and overall the customer service is on point. My tech was very attentive, even when she was attending to a new customer and I was done drying my little toe nails, she applied a drying oil to both hands and feet, wrapped my toes with plastic wrap, put my sock and sneakers on. While I was drying I drank several glasses of water and a glass of champagne. Will definitely visit this nail salon again on a day off or before a trip. The polish quality is on point and has yet to chip a few days later. read more

The quality of the work done here does NOT match their price point. Unfortunately not satisfied with my nails. The photos i've attached are only day 3. This is a GEL manicure btw. The polish is uneven, filled with bubbles and chipped. I ask the woman when applying if she noticed the polish seems uneven. She fixed one but reassured me they were fine. The nails seem as though I applied the polish myself at home. I would not return here. read more

Great, clean spot - not terribly crowded, lovely polish colors. This is a total hidden gem of a nail salon. Absolutely love it.

Great manicure from the owner, terrible polish job from the technician who took over for her. She was very pleasant but the polish was applied sloppily -- I could've done it myself. read more

Staff wasn't that friendly. I wasn't impressed manicure technician at all. Manicure chipped off right next day. I could've gotten better service and quality mani pedi for cheaper price. I basically paid their rent not my service. I don't recommend anyone. Unless you just want to waste your money or seeking conveniences. Disappointed. read more

It's ok and the prices are just ok. Got a spa manicure (milk & honey) and I felt like the equipment isn't new (most places provide new clippers, filing boards) the rags were worn and had a faint smell to them. My arms feel a tad sticky after (unpleasant feeling). The place is kind of clean but I feel like it can be better. Need a better process for how they do their spa manicures, just wiping it off leaves a sticky film feeling on arms. Sticking to my usual place. Also she cut way too deep on my cuticles. read more

I came here expecting a relaxing spa day for myself. However, when walking through the front door, we were greeted but felt very unwelcome since the workers all seemed agitated and annoyed. I had some leftover SNS dip powder on my nails and the employee scolded me for having them still on. I booked an appointment for a gel manicure, but they told me they did not have time to do it. Even though there were very few customers and opened for another three hours. The workers were very judge mental and had a lot of attitude when I just asked them a simple question. I am disappointed with the finishing results and unhappy with how they had treated me. I ended up with a regular manicure that chipped after 1 day. I do not recommend this place at all. It was definitely not worth $50 ( not including tip ) for a regular manicure. read more

My friend and I had a horrible experience here and I do not recommend it to anyone. First of all, I booked ahead for two manicures and specified in the notes that one would be gel and both would involve nail art. Yet when we got there, they informed us not all technicians could do art and that there wouldn't be time for gel. Shouldn't they read the notes in the booking to understand what clients are looking for? The issues continued when the manicure started. I showed a reference photo of a really simple pink base with red French tip. It's hard to judge opacity from the bottles and the shade I picked ended up being essentially clear. I asked for advice on a shade that carried more pigment. She picked one that was extremely streaky from the get go. Instead of finding another shade that would work, she kept piling it on and the streaking never went away. I told her I wasn't happy, so she took it off and we had to start from scratch again. I ended up picking a white just to speed the process, which also ended up being streaky. At this point it had been almost an hour and all I had was a streaky, sloppy white base. We had to get going, so I ditched the nail art idea and picked a gold glitter to try to save the look. As you can see from the photos, she applied the glitter extremely unevenly. You can see it's not distributed consistently on different nails and it's super thick and sloppy to the point that the nails have texture. She also didn't bother to clean the white polish from where she got it on my skin and cuticles. My friend ended up getting gel and the end result was good. She did have to keep reminding the technician that she wanted gel and to keep turning on the curing light. We also kept getting rude reminders to inform ahead of time if we wanted gel or nail art in the future ... despite that being in the notes of the appointment booking the entire time. The worst part was that when I went to pay and informed the receptionist of all of the issues we had, she didn't do anything about it. She didn't call the technician over to give her feedback, offer to fix the issues, or give me any kind of discount. I honestly think even asking me to pay after all this was outrageous. I've been to so many nail salons and this was the worst experience. Poor quality of work and even worse customer service. I was embarrassed that I brought my out of town friend here. Stay away if you want a good manicure! read more

I've had three pedicures here and have been satisfied every time. Their house brand polish colors are gorgeous and it's usually quiet and relaxing unlike a lot of nail spas. I like how open and uncluttered the layout is for better social distancing. Every pedicure I've had has lasted upwards of 5 weeks until the nails start to grow. Money well spent for a good experience and results. read more

Jinsoon is really*aesthetic* but the service my friends and I had had here, especially considering the price, was disappointing. The front desk was unwelcoming and rude, and argued with us about the type of appointment we booked. My pedi was fine but not anything special. The manicurist doing my friend's nails cut into her cuticles, which bled. Lastly, the other customers were offered glasses of champagne but we were not (they gave us the choice between green tea and water). I called the salon after having this experience asking to speak to a manager to give them feedback. They were supposedly going to call me back, but never did, so here is my feedback. Overall......I do not recommend. read more

I've been going to Jin Soon for my nails for 15+ years. Until the pandemic, I only ever went to the salon in the East Village, and that location is still more conveniently located near my home, but they now operate on weekends only. As a result, I tend to traipse down to Tribeca despite the add'l effort. The women who work at both locations are very skilled and gentle; they also take direction well and most give excellent massages I particularly appreciate the ability to request mani/pedis at the same time and that, at the Tribeca location, both my teenage daughter and I can sit together and get mani/pedis at the same time, which is not possible in the East Village location due to its small size. Jin Soon is more expensive than many nail places in my immediate neighborhood, but it's def worth the add'l cost as well as the effort to get there. read more

This is by far my favorite nail salon and location. You're in for a treat and they lean more on the side of experience than anything else. They usually have wine, tea and water to offer. The pedi area is open and bright which allows you to breathe without the horrible smell of most nail salons. You DO need an appointment, it's not a place to stumble into and get a mani/pedi but it is worth it! Definitely pricier than most places but I find myself pampered and relaxed so I feel like it's worth it! Clean tools, and I love that they maintain their level of cleanliness throughout the entire salon! read more

I came here for my first pedicure (milk and honey) with a friend and the experience was very smooth. I found their booking experience intuitive and accommodating - if we made any modifications to our time slot or appointment, the newly freed time and changes showed on the site instantly (for other users to book into). Some other highlights, the receptionist kindly took our jackets and scarfs and hung them while we got our pedicures. I accidentally bumped my foot against a table after applying color to my nails and the technician fixed it up super quickly, offering to redo them as well. Definitely a great first time pedicure experience! read more

Hygiene is questionable. At two separate Jin Soon locations, both on Walker Street and the now-closed East Village location, I ended up with a fungal infection on my nails that I didn't have prior. read more

While the ambiance was great and service was friendly, the lack of knowledge of the technician I had led to white spots on my nails following forceful removal of my Japanese gel nails, because she didn't soak them long enough. She was rushed to try to keep her next appointment. Please educate your technicians.

I felt like I can do without the float, but I just felt like treating myself that day :) Everyone was friendly and my nail technician saw That I had picked an off cream yellow color and asked if I was 100% sure about the color because she can test apply it and see if it's what I had in mind. Thank goddess she said that because I was aiming for pearl white and switched out the color. It's been four weeks since my visit and my pedicure still hasn't chipped! read more

I came here one of the first couple weeks after they reopened post quarantine and it was the best nail salon experience I've had ever.

I had gel on before so they soaked my nails, took attentive care to making sure my nail bed was groomed nicely. My manicured nails have lasted almost 2.5 weeks and I've just now taken it off. read more

I booked an appointment at Jin Soon last Friday, and it was the best experience I have had at a nail salon in NYC. It was pouring in the city this day, and the woman from the front desk was incredibly swift with offering myself, and another customer, a towel to dry ourselves upon entry. She offered an assortment of tea, wine, and water--I chose tea, which was waiting for me promptly at my manicure station. The woman who did my nails was incredibly detailed, she offered a 3rd coat of polish (and even got up to switch to another bottle of polish in the same color) to ensure my manicure was bright and perfect. Needless to say I will be back. I agree with past reviewers who've mentioned loud customers; the vibe of the shop is so so so tranquil, it becomes incredibly annoying when customers have lengthy conversations with little attention to the volume of their speech. However, that's beyond the employees' control. The experience is so worth the money, and I'm certain that I'll become a regular here. I got a rose petal manicure and a shellac manicure (yes, in the same appointment. Yes, that is possible) read more

I got the balm of purity manipedi. It claims to be moisturizing, but my fingers are dryer than usual after a couple days. The foot tub area is nasty, water spilled everywhere, dirty towels everywhere. Don't let them cut your "cuticles", they do a really choppy job and are actually cutting the nail fold. I'm shocked a salon run by a nail polish company doesn't know the difference between a cuticle and a nail fold, and that cutting a nail fold is a no no. They ended up cutting through my skin on one of the fingers, risking infection. They never asked if I wanted to pay before they painted my fingers. While waiting for my nails to dry, a lady hovered over me to pay. My nails were ruined after getting the card out to pay. Overall very dissatisfied with what I got vs what I paid. read more

Do not recommend this place as the service is really bad, I have been there a few times and the manicure wasn't good.

Had gift certificate for $150. 00 that they mysteriously could not find in their system so they would not honor. Spoke to Jin Soon ( the owner) she was not helpful and was borderline rude. Embarrassing to have to go back to the gifter and ask for them to prove purchase. Beware as this is not the first time I have had a problem using a gift certificate with them. They obviously have a subpar system for tracking. Shockingly amateurish. I also had a manicure from their tribeca location yesterday that didn't last 24 hrs. The polish never dried and smeared off.

Jinsoon - It's COVID/DELTA why hasn't this been cleaned properly?? - Waxing Near Me - New York, New York

Has potential to be a real amazing experience, but just needs some fine tuning on the details. Quick Facts: - Staff very nice and helpful - Beautiful space - Champagne on arrival - Fingernails look great - Cleaned up my nails and cuticles immaculately - JINsoon colors no good for long term. - Magic Clay Slipper not worth $60. - Receptionist gave wrong suggestion on colors causing a lot of confusion. See photos Great experience for the most part. Gave me water and Champagne when I arrived. Front desk gal told me to go pick out a color (I was to get a gel mani) so I just so happened to gravitate towards the gel colors. Receptionist came over and motioned me towards their own JINsoon colors where I was up to try it out. Only that later when I was ready for the color on my hands the manicurist informed me the JINsoon colors I had chosen were not gel so I had to ask her to go grab me colors off the wall from across the room... I felt so bad motioning her towards the colors I wanted while I had to sit there. I assumed the receptionist girl knew what I had signed up for and won't have pointed me towards the wrong paints?? The manicurist was great and went above and beyond getting me the right colors based on what I had originally wanted. Her and the miss working on my toes did a fabulous job cleaning up my cuticles, they really left no hangnail untrimmed. Magic Clay Slipper treatment is what I signed up for. Good but not $60 worth. Nice exfoliation but the 'clay' part was thin and comical that they would call it a 'treatment'. Sorry. (image attached). After the clay she massaged my feet with oil, don't be afraid to SPEAK UP and tell them to massage harder! She did, it was good. Lastly. I got the JINsoon color on my toes and had them dried at the table under the dryers for 20min, they added quick-dry oil, dried for another 10min then I had to leave and put on my shoes. Later that night I took off my heals to find that all the color had rubbed off my big toes!! (see photo) All around great atmosphere and nice staff but sadly I probably won't come again for this price. Magic Clay Slipper + Manicure = $105 + $20tip I get my nails done a lot and sadly I've had better for $65. read more
