Groupon: NYC’s Secret to Affordable Beauty
As a broke college girl in my 20’s in NYC, being a “hot girl” in New York isn’t cheap. Between rent, brunch, and your oat-milk latte habit, the last thing you want is to drop $100+ on a wax or facial. But here’s the secret most girls don’t talk about: Groupon is literally your best friend when it comes to beauty on a budget.
If you’ve never scrolled through the Beauty & Spas section of Groupon NYC, you’re seriously missing out. From $25 Brazilian waxes to $40 gel manis, discounted lash lifts, and half-off facials, it’s the one place where top-rated salons compete for your attention, and your wallet thanks you.
Most of the deals are 50–70% off regular prices, meaning you can try new spots without committing to luxury-salon prices. Think of it as your beauty trial playground: try a wax studio in SoHo this week, a facial spot in Midtown next week and find your new fave without breaking the bank.
Tips for Getting the Best Groupon Beauty Deals
Always sort by rating. Look for at least 4.5 ★ with 100+ reviews.
Double-check fine print. Some are “new-client only” or weekday-only offers.
Screenshot your voucher: NYC reception in basements can be brutal.
Read real reviews on Yelp before booking; sometimes prices are the same, but service isn’t.
Stack your savings. Groupon often adds an extra promo code (like “SAVE15”) for an extra 15–25% off.
