Jade Beauty & Wellness Spa

My gel manicure chipped in a day. I have been doing gel for already a year in different places and always was good for at least 2 weeks! Very disappointing. Will never go back.

Friendly staff, calm atmosphere. The exfoliating pedicure involved using a salt scrub, which wasn’t very special (I could have done this at home), should have stuck to the regular pedi and saved $ 5. The salon is clean, and in a convenient location.

Horrible place! after visiting this «spa», I had redo manicure and pedicure at home by myself. Waste of money! The staff is very rude and after I paid just ignored me. Stay away from this place!

Went in for a manicure after not visiting there due to a bad experience a year ago (I was cut during cuticle trimming). I thought after a year, things would have been better. Well, it was better in the sense that I didn’t get cut and bleed this time. But my OPI polish chipped the next day on two fingers, about 12 hours after I got my manicure. By day 3, the polish has chipped on every single nail.
Also, when I was there the staff giving a manicure next to me kept asking her customer for tips as she worked. Her customer was getting a gel manicure, so I didn’t understand why she had to tip in the middle of getting her nails done. The customer refused to tip then, and the worker said «it’s very rude not to tip. So how much you want to tip?» Hello??? Tipping is optional, and if I was asked rudely over and over, in the middle of getting my nails done, I wouldn’t want to tip either.
So nope. I won’t be back.

This used to be my go-​to manicure place. I would come once a week. After yesterday, I have officially given up. I’ve had several horrible manicures in a row, and the staff is rude and rushed.
Yesterday there was some issue with a customer using a Groupon voucher, and all FIVE staff members were chattering about it and just left me sitting waiting in the manicure chair. I finally asked for someone to start, but then after she starting she was spending more time chattering with the other staff about the coupon than paying attention to my manicure. I walked out in the middle of the manicure I was so frustrated.
This place used to be great, but they have gone totally downhill. Will absolutely not be back.

Overall very strange experience. The color I picked happened to be a little thin, and the manicurist started to close the bottle after two streaky coats. I asked her to do a third and she did, but she should have known to do that anyway and not let me leave with a blotchy manicure.
Then when she brought me to the drying area, she gave me the WEIRDEST half hearted massage I’ve ever experienced. Maybe 45 seconds tops and it was disjointed and uncomfortable. It was almost like she was brushing my shoulders.
As I stood up to leave, another woman who was getting a mani-​pedi asked to add on a 20 minute massage. Her manicurist literally set an egg timer (which was ticking and couldn’t possibly be relaxing to listen to for 20 minutes straight) and gave her what seemed to be the worst massage ever. At one point she was only using one hand and the other hand she was picking at her nails.
The quality of the manicure itself is ok, not great. Nails are shaped well, top coat is consistent but the color is still a little blotchy toward the bottom of each nail. Will not be back.

This is the worst pedicure I have ever gotten in my life. The people were so rude and they barely did any of the usual things you would expect during a pedicure. I could have done a much better job clipping my nails. The paint was put on in less than a minute and the lady was just worried about making sure I understood tips were in cash. I would say a definite no. I should have walked out.

Good for a quick mani or pedi. The setting is quiet and relaxing. Prices are good for Manhattan and they tend to have a good color selection. On weekends they often have specials listed outside the door – definitely worth checking out!

I only had my nails done for a few days and already by Gel manicure began to peel. It was my first time getting gel nails and I was excited from what I heard about it. I work around the area and always liked how beautiful the salon looked. Unfortunately I was not pleased. The gel manicure cost $ 22 but at the end I was charged $ 42.Uhm what?! They charged me for a massage, mind you I did not ask for that and the massage was less than a minute. I went in to tell her it was peeling and she told me to sit and wait because she had a client but I ended up leaving because I knew they would find some way to charge me for «fixing» my nails. I bought some acetone and gave myself a manicure at home. Will not be going again.

This place is fine for a regular mani/​pedi but the waxing is horrible. I had my arms waxed here and they would have looked better has I blindly shaved them. Beyond unhappy and frustrated that there doesn’t seem a manager or anyone that remotely understands any English. Also frustrated because I paid for a big gift card here and I just want a refund. Giant waste of $$.

I seriously love this place I went here in a whim because I needed to kill time and it was the best ten dollar manicure I’ve ever had, I’ve also had a pedicure here and the girl who did it was so sweet and nice, only 25 $. They don’t have a wide selection of colors but I’m okay with that since I’m a pale pink kinda gal, I’m not sure about their other services but the ones I’ve had we’re good.

If you live in the area, like me, or need a quick mani or pedi, don’t stop by here if you’re looking for:
1. Very good — great quality (i.e. setting)
2. Professionalism (i.e. conduct)
3. Working massage chairs
4. Good deals
I came here since I was in middle school (now almost a college graduate) and absolutely loved it there. When Jade first opened, I had to check it out. I couldn’t really complain then because the staff were affable and meticulous. Yesterday, my friend wanted to treat me to a pedi so we went to Jade’s. I wasn’t disappointed by the quality of my pedicure but I was dissatisfied with everything else, literally everything. The once, friendly staff were so rude; when I was drying my nails, the staff who did my nails kept harassing me to pay (when my friend already paid)! The staff kept reminding me to give tip $ (EXTREMELY RUDE); can a customer relax for a minute? Like children, the staff who «catered» to me started chatting and giving me the stink-​eye with 2 other staff members. Overall, their attitude was a huge turn-​off and I will never support their business again.

I go for spa pedicures weekly and I used to come to Jade all the time because I live nearby. Several years ago I switched to the salon across the street because it is cleaner and they autoclave all of their instruments. Recently, I forgot to make an appointment at the other place and since they were so busy I came across the street to Jade. I was so surprised at how the place has deteriorated! I should have left but really needed a pedicure so decided to stay. What a mistake! The place is filthy. The area where you put your feet on the pedicure chairs is worn and completely covered in black sludge. The technicians try to cover it with towels but you will see the area and it is literally thick with grime. The technicians are rude now, which is a big change. The woman next to me had to argue repeatedly for them not to cut her young daughters nails and just to file them. During my pedicure a roach crawled right across the bottom edge of the chair. Don’t waste your money here. I go to salons so often but this is my first Unilocal– I was so blown away by Jade that I was compelled to sign on and write this!

Jade is a friendly, attractive spot where the technicians know how to give great, efficient service. I’ve been a customer since they opened and continue to feel that they are the nicest, best value spot in the neighborhood. The spa is very clean, kept nicely, with a relaxing atmosphere but not so strict that you can’t answer your cellphone. Waxing is also well done, quick and efficient. I highly recommend!

Apart from the neat décor in Chinese red and the cleanliness of this nail and spa salon, Jade isn’t worth it unless you’re extremely desperate. Been here twice and nails were not polished properly. And unless I had complained the manicurist was about to leave me looking like I asked my ten year old niece to do my nails! I’ve seen far better salons do a better job for the same price and time. Save yourself the finger painting mess and don’t care attitude… Go elsewhere!

I was in the area getting my hair done so I randomly stopped by this nail salon. Very nice décor, plentiful nail polish selection & the staff was nice. Judy did a good job with my manicure. Since I live in Brooklyn I can’t see myself coming all the way uptown just for a manicure but if you’re in the area you should definitely check it out.

Just had an eyebrow wax and can’t complain. The two women I encountered were very nice. They took me right away with no appointment (midday, midweek). It was quiet with relaxing music playing. The wax woman did a good job — waxed and then plucked and trimmed a little. Can’t beat the prices.
I’ll return soon and try a pedicure.

I went to get my nails done a few weeks ago in the early morning. I really like how clean they are and it definitely looks like they properly sanitize all their implements. I brought in my own nail color and the woman doing my nails, Wendy, had no problem putting three coats on my nails when I asked her too.
I received a manicure and pedicure from Wendy and she scrubbed off just the right amount of dead skin off my heels and gave my hands a nice little massage. My nail polish stayed really well for a good 2 weeks which really impressed me as well.
The only downside I experienced what that the wifi signal was very weak, slow, and it took forever to connect
I will definitely be returning and requesting Wendy soon, especially because I feel that the prices are so reasonable here!

Ohhhh Groupon…
I purchased a $ 49 massage for a 1 hr. deep tissue massage from Groupon and I was highly disappointed! I guess that’s the risk you take when it comes to Groupon.
The Pro’s: (ONLY REASON FOR THE 2 STARS)
–Clean
–Beautiful design and interior
–Great Location
–Friendly Staff
The Con’s:
–My 1 hr. deep tissue massage was beyond sub par! There was absolutely nothing «deep» about my deep tissue massage. Although the masseuse was very nice, she had no clue what she was doing! Her 1 hr. version of a deep tissue massage can be compared to that of an hr. spent playing patty-​cake and lightly high-​fiving me on the back (this is not an exaggeration). I could have gotten a better massage by rubbing up against a wall. I’ve experienced better 10 – 20 minute chair massages for a third of the price. Although $ 49 is cheap for a 1 hr. massage, the quality of the massage did not match that of a $ 10, 10 minute massage.
–She never asked important questions such as… Are there any areas you want me to pay special attention to? Any there any areas you would like me to avoid? Are you injured? Etc.
–The Walls Are Thin: It was hard to enjoy my massage when I could clearly hear the guy in the room next to me talking throughout his entire massage.
–I left my massage, feeling as though I didn’t have a massage. Normally when I have a deep tissue massage (or any massage), I feel a little tired yet very relaxed afterwards. When I left Jade Beauty Spa & Wellness I wasn’t tired, I was wide awake and ready to take on the world. My back pain felt exactly the same as when I entered the spa.
I’m not sure how their facials and nail services are — based on my massage, I don’t want to know.
Jade Beauty & Wellness Spa has all of the key ingredients to make a spa successful, however the lack of training & skilled employees is missing.

Maybe I went on a bad day, but my experience definitely didn’t mirror the reviews I read on Unilocal.
I went in for a manicure before an important interview, and although the experience itself (décor, attentiveness, etc) was absolutely lovely, my manicure was quite sub par. Not only did it look totally amateur, but the polish *chipped the very next day*. Seriously disappointing!
Fortunately, it was only $ 10. Again, I wonder why my experience was so different, but in a neighborhood full of nail salons, I see no reason to go back and try my luck again!
