Profile

Iranian immigrant Jeniette Melamed’s namesake spa is nothing fancy, but its celebrity clientele find it as familiar and satisfying as a plate of comfort food. Since the spa opened in 1982, Hollywood A-listers and runway stalkers have embraced the Cheers-like atmosphere, not to mention the notoriously popular bikini waxes. (Heart-shaped and Brazilian are salon specialties.) Jeniette’s brow waxers and threaders have sculpted some of the best arches in the biz; Julianne Moore, Uma Thurman, Mandy Moore, and Ashley Olsen are a few who’ve graced the green-and-white candy-striped space. The second floor of the sprawling two-story spa is devoted to a long lineup of hair and mani-pedi stations, with private downstairs nooks reserved for couple's massages, facials and waxings for spa-shy gents.

I came in to have my eyebrows done for a lot less than what I was paying ($65). Rosa gave me a nice, even shape. However, service here is VERY informal (people eating, shouting to each other, doing work on themselves...Read More
