New York Spa Recognized for Best Manicure and Great Employee Environment

The Grand Spa, located in New York City, was recently recognized by the New York Magazine for the Best Cheap Manicure, for providing a relaxing atmosphere for clients and for having a great environment for employees.

REVIEW THIS SPA NOW

The Grand Spa in New York City doesn’t just offer a great manicure, it offers the best. That’s the word from the New York Magazine - a city magazine that covers, analyzes, comments on and defines the news, culture, entertainment, lifestyle, fashion and personalities that drive New York City - which, in its Health & Self section, recently gave the Grand Spa the title of Best Cheap Manicure in the city.

The Grand Spa is run and owned by husband and wife Eitan and Carmela Ben-Yosef, who have imposed a no-acrylic, no-airbrush policy since opening the Spa five years ago to provide an airy and fresh smelling environment that is better for workers, customers and nails. We also provide laser hair removal for our clients at very competitive prices.

But what truly separates the Grand Spa from the rest of the nail salons is the fact that the Ben-Yosefs try to keep their workers happy by sending them out to lunch, hand their tips over directly, and, if business is slow, have them put their feet up and relax, making it easy to pay the 8 dollars for a regular manicure and 19 dollars for a pedicure.
