    Avoid this LLB esthetician; she's rude, judgmental, and openly gossips to her colleagues about client's skin + people.

    --Avoid esthetician in the pic. She's rude, judgmental, and openly gossips to colleagues about client's skin + people. We left with remnants of mask/tissue paper in our hairs. Thorough clean off doesn't exist here. It is what it is. Visiting NYC and I came here with my partner for a 1st-time facial (TikTok hyped), hoping for a relaxing experience--and unfortunately, it wasn't what I expected. When we arrived, my partner was shown a pamphlet and given facial options. But when I expressed we were there for their 1st-time $49 facial deal, I received a mean mug like and was told--very abruptly and loudly "YOU CANNOT" because I "have acne." She traced the perimeter of her forehead with her finger to demonstrate where she noticed my acne was. Yea ok, not necessary from someone who's not even doing my facial . I felt like I was being pushed into the acne treatment ($80) simply based on my skin type, even though I was coming in for a relaxing experience. Mind you, I don't even have acne with pustules on my face. I have some dark spots and merely 3 beneath the surface ones on my forehead that shouldn't be popped anyways! My analogy to my personal facial experience: it's like going to a restaurant deliberately knowing I want the veggie salad on the menu and being told I must order steak just because I'm a carnivore... My esthetician was more gentle with her verbal communication and explained why she recommended an acne-targeted treatment. I appreciated that. But even with that care, the facial included painful extractions and high-frequency zapping that left me tense--not relaxed. I also didn't receive a facial massage because I have sensitive/acne prone skin--which I understand not wanting to disturb my skin BUT I received a very relaxing facial massage last month (in June) where I live. My skin condition's no different between last month and today ‍--just a difference of place and person treating my skin. Ultimately, this wasn't the facial I came in for. I was eager to leave after my initial interaction. The estheticians are focused on directing clients rather than good ol' plain listening. There's language and maybe a cultural barrier. I've had better, more respectful facials elsewhere--even those tailored to my acne-prone skin. The LLB team should consider balancing skin expertise with sensitivity and customer choice moving forward.

    I tried this place for the first time today and it will likely be my new go-to spot. Prices are very affordable. I had a facial and massage for $150 total. Both were very detailed and thorough and their costumer service was top notch. Only thing is services will be done in a room with multiple people. There is no private spa room experience.

    Ling Ling Beauty is AMAZING!!! I came here after reading so many positive Yelp reviews, and this place certainly didn't disappoint. I haven't had a facial for a whole year and also ain't the greatest at taking care of my skin. Used to be a swimmer and I hate putting on sunscreen.. you can imagine how dry and damaged my skin is. I made a same-day appointment and Hannah happily took me in. The whole process took about 1.5 hours. They first "steamed" my face to open the pores, and Hannah gave me a neck + shoulder massage while that happened. After that, she spent a good amount of time extracting all the whiteheads and blackheads. This was followed by a thick, cooling mask that made all the pain from extraction go away. Hannah was very patient and gentle. Unlike many beauticians, she didn't diss on my skin nor try to upsell me anything. I felt very taken care of and respected the whole time. I did the $88 stem cell treatment per Hannah's suggestion and ended up buying a 10-time package for $680 because I'm so happy with the result and their service! You can pay for your package in installments. My skin feels so soft and clean -- love this place so much and can't wait to come back already!!!

    I've been coming here for almost a year now and I love it! My skin was breaking out and leaving severe scarring all over my face and nothing it did on my own could fix it. Jasmine recommended that I do the "resting peel" and I saw a difference in my skin within a week. Now I come here every month alternating between the peel and the "stem cell hydration" treatment and my skin is so happy. The treatments are pricey but it's totally worth it! I would recommend going for the package! The treatments are usually 1-1.5 hours, very clean and relaxing environment, you get your eyebrows plucked with every treatment and a shoulder massage ! One thing I will say is that you don't get a consultation when you walk in... they see your skin and just recommend a treatment but you don't necessarily find out what's in the treatment and why you need it. But since it's working I don't mind .

I stumbled upon Karine Kazarian because of the Biologique Recherche line of products they offer. Although there hasn't been an issue with my current esthecian, I wanted to try a facial in New York along with the line of products. I first booked my appointment with Mariam, who happens to be Karine's daughter. She was super friendly and walked me through the entire process. She listened to my concerns and customized the deep cleansing facial for my skin. I was left with hydrated and clean skin. I knew I loved their service when I received multiple compliments on the second week from having my facial. Recently, I saw Sasha for the same deep cleansing facial as I was in desperate need of extractions. She took care of me and was gentle throughout the entire process.

Some estheticians have been incredible (shoutout Aiza) and some haven't been as good. After my last few visits, I've been disappointed in the depth of the facials I've received and haven't felt that I've been getting my money's worth. The services are expensive (even for NYC) at $300+ with tip. After getting a cyst on my eyelid following my most recent facial, I think it's time for me to find another place for my facials in the city. Wish the treatments here weren't as costly; if the prices were a bit lower, I'd be more comfortable with the quality and depth of service.

I told the injector that I liked what I had before, but she decided to add whatever she wanted without asking me.

I confirmed with someone who answered the phone that the injector did indeed add units that did that. Again... without asking me if it was ok.

My review highlights an unethical practice that's unfortunately widespread in the city. I typically get Botox treatments at Body Factory, and while the nurses are generally skilled and the facilities (I've been to all three locations) are clean and well-maintained, the issue lies with their tipping policy. Medical professionals, including nurse practitioners and registered nurses, are prohibited from soliciting or accepting tips. Their professional code of conduct clearly forbids this. Let me repeat this: MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING NURSES, ARE EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED FROM SOLICITING OR RECEIVING TIPS. THERE IS NO GREY AREA HERE. ACCEPTING TIPS IS UNETHICAL FOR THESE PROFESSIONALS. However, every time I go to pay, I'm put in an uncomfortable position. The staff at the register either directly asks for a tip or presents the credit card machine with a tipping option, treating it as if it's standard practice. This behavior is wrong, unethical, and embarrassing on purpose. Treatments here are already expensive, often costing me close to or over $500. Yet, they still have the audacity to suggest a 20%/30% tip -- that's an additional and unethical $100 or more they take. This practice is wrong and unethical, and again, tips should not be requested, given, suggested, or even accepted if offered. While customers technically have the option to decline, the correct approach would be never to request a tip, never mention it, and not include it as an option in the payment process. Putting clients in an uncomfortable position is NEVER the answer. Please learn and remove the tipping option from your credit card payments.
