Josephines’s Spa

I have been going to Josephine’s Spa for a few years now. I usually get my eyebrows done with Dahlia and brazilian wax done with Veronica. I have absolutely no complaints. The only thing is that they need a policy on no double dipping for the brazilian wax.

I went there few days ago and I can’t wait to go back, I went for a massage, it was my first time over there and I can say that was absolutely fantastic and real relaxing massage, you can ask about the lady’s name ALEXANDRA, she’s professional & good, so I recommend this salon for people

I’m not too sure on what the name of the women I got my Brazilian wax. But she didn’t do such a good job. I still had some hairs left. I was hoping she thought I was getting too swollen to pluck a few off or something but its just too much!! she was middled age and claimed to be working there for some time. on the bright side she was pretty comforting (since it was my first time waxing) so when it comes to how they service us is okay. But as I mentioned I don’t think she did such a good job with the wax so I will continue to try different spas until I find the right one. This 1 definitely isn’t the right one for me.

This is where I go for my waxing. After trying many different places in the neighborhood, I made an appointment at Josephine’s and was given an appointment with Esperanca and she is who I go to for my waxing. Her room is clean and private. She makes sure that I leave hair free and feeling good.
The combination of price and quality work for me especially if it’s for maintenance.

Not the greatest, not the worst. Came here with a friend and used a gift card my husband had gotten me. We wanted mani/​pedis. It was a bit of a surprise that there were only two chairs for manicures and two seats for pedicures — the place is quite small. (This is only for the nail salon.) Because we came together, we wanted to get everything done together as well, so it took a while longer. We were there for almost two hours.
The service itself was fine. Nothing spectacular. The girls are very nice, but I felt like it wasn’t the most sterile environment. My girl dropped some of the utensils a few times, which worried me. I got shellac done, and it feels sticky now, like it wasn’t finished off properly.
Also, $ 55 for a mani/​pedi seems on the expensive side.

My husband bought me a mini spa day package for Valentines Day to this spa. The package was to include a facial, hot stone massage, a mani and a pedi. The facial was ok. The massage was not a hot stone massages. I clarified with the friendly lady at the front desk and my massage therapist before my appointment and both confirmed I was DEFINATELY a getting a hot stone massage. I was still relaxed and happy with what I got despite this misunderstanding. I asked the front desk lady if I could give a tip to my massuce with my debit card. She said I could but went back to her computer and just ignored me. I even asked again if I could tip before I went to my mani and pedi and she didn’t reply. After my facial and simple massage I was was guided into the cold to go into the mani/​pedi store located next door. It was there I waited an hour to be seen. When I was seen, there was only one woman attending 5 ladies (all getting manis and pedis). She was very hard to communicate with and continuously asked the other ladies to translate for her. When I was given a seat to soak my feet in for my pedi, I was left for another hour!!! No instruction or explanation as to why this was taking so long. My mini spa day turned into an entire day. Hours of this was just waiting to be seen when this appointment was made a week ago. I just moved to this neighborhood and was so excited to be only a block from a beautiful looking spa. Sadly I will NEVER come here again. The hospitality of the manicurist was appalling. She was the slowest woman I have ever had a mani and pedi from. When she finally got to me she was sighing heavily while doing my nails and looking out the window while filing them making no effort to hide that she would rather be any place else but there. I felt so unwelcome, I became very emotionally upset as I was under the hand dryer. I was the last person in the place and felt extreme pressure to leave so the manicurist («(Tiki) could go home. I had to cancel everything I needed to accomplish for my evening because I had no idea how long this would take nor was I told when I would be done. Do not go to this place!!! I felt very discriminated at this place and tried my hardest to be friendly despite my limited Spanish. I really wanted to like this place and be part of this neighborhood community but this was certainly an eye opener for me. I know that I am not welcome here.

OMG! This place is great. And Dahlia was amazing. I hadn’t had a Brazilian in 2 years. It was pain-​less, efficient and she was friendly. I knew I was in the right place when she busted out the tweezers at the end of the waxing.
The only reason I took off a star, which has NOTHING to do with Dahlia, was because Winter was right. The women at the front were talking and nearly forgot to give me my change. But otherwise, go there!

Recently moved into the area and decided to go here instead of my regular place for a gel manicure, pedicure and eyebrow wax. The girl who did my mani and pedi was very nice, but my nails looks awful. My nails are filed uneven and the paint is bulging in spots. I didn’t ask for her to correct it while I was in there because she was too busy conversing with other customers that came in and I had been in there for too long and just wanted to leave. When I had to go next door for the eyebrow wax I was put in a room immediately and taken care of but the owner or desk manager charged me $ 2 more than their website states for aa easy eyebrow wax. $ 10 is outrageous for a subpar job. Everything was a total waste of $ 60 and I will not be going back to test the other services that they offer.

Love Yomary… knows what she’s doing when it comes to waxing. Decoded to stop by the spa, even though she was on vacation. I got there a little bit late, but on top of that had to wait 45 minutes extra. Plus, the girl didn’t even know what I was getting done. Unacceptable

I have been here twice for a Brazilian bikini wax, and they did a great job each time. It costs only $ 35, which is affordable for pretty much any city. They are doing construction, so the place itself doesn’t look great, and the towels that they use are looking a little worn, but the service itself was fast, efficient, and definitely well-​priced. I will be coming here for my bikini waxes from now on. I made an appointment this last time, but the previous time just walked in and they accommodated me. I would give them a call just to check.

Im getting pimpels since i started visit this place for facial and when i called the lady that use to do me the facial to asked her what kind of cream could i use she just play around and did not answer my question. How can they say that they are professional? I will never recommend that person =margarita

Being new to the neighborhood i was looking for an affordable facial and massage. i chose the hydrating oxygen facial and wow — Excellent job. I’ve had a couple of dozen facials in my life and This was well worth the price. I also booked a massage and they did a great job. The massage was the perfect amount of pressure, not too soft, not too strong. I am definitely going back next month!!!

I came to Josefines Spa for a facial with my sister. You need to make an appointment, no walking’s in are accepted. The place looks really nice. The ambiance is pretty relaxing I would say. They put you in a separate room give you a robe to put on. I had Egna she’s really friendly gives you tips on how to keep your skin healthy. The only thing I would say I didn’t like was that I thought the facial consist more, but that’s just my opinion. I came out looking horrible with a bunch of red bumps but that’s what you get out of a facial.

I recieved a Brazilian Bikini wax here. its super clean and the woman (don’t know her name) was super quick, didn’t hurt that bad, and got the job done right. I would definitely return again but the only thing is that they’re a bit pricey. another minor downfall about coming here is that a majority of the staff don’t know much english. i had to be out on hold twice for them to find a staff member that spoke english so that i could book an appointment.

I bought one of those cool deals from groupon I got 3 Brazilian wax for 39 dollars which is an awesome deal. I got my waxing done by Veronica she was really fast which I liked I was done in about 10 min amazing! Yes it was a bit painful but then again waxing is always painful.

I decided to stop in for a manicure on the weekend, which is in a separate smaller storefront from the main spa. The woman said she was busy, could I come back in 45 minutes? I also asked the cost and she said $ 15. When I came back, I got a decent manicure, but it didn’t have all the little flourishes that I’ve come to expect from other places in NYC. I also asked about making an appointment in the future, but she said it was just better to stop by. I ended up being charged $ 10, although she sent me over to the main storefront to pay.
I previously got a blowout for $ 20 from the hair salon (although, as far as I can tell, they don’t do haircuts) which is in yet another storefront.
Overall, I would recommend them as a good place to go if you’re in the neighborhood.

I went few months ago and place is nice (interior decoration). What i didnt like was when i was getting my facial. They dont put u in a private room as they would do when giving the massage. I heard all the noise from the lobby. They on their cellular phone while doing the service. I had to tell her to get off the phone while she was doing my toe nails. I found that to be really ghetto. Didnt felt like i was in a spa.
