I have been a Skin by Mamie client for over 15 years and am always amazed by the customized experience each and every visit. I trust no one else with my face. - L. Miller Philadelphi, PA read more

I've been using Mamie products for over a year now and love them. they smell amazing and keep my skin so clear and soft. I have rosacea and these products are so soothing! grateful to have found these products read more

I love love love the way my skin looked and felt after a facial with Mamie. Wowza. They say, she is the reason for the amazing skin of quite a few celebrities and I get it. She's magical plus so much fun to talk to. Like hanging out with an old friend. I had the best afternoon ever in her care. 5 stars all the way! read more

I came here after booking a deal through Travelzoo. Whenever I purchase a discounted deal through a website, I always look at reviews to see what people have to say about it, and everyone from Yelp (given there were only 2 reviews), as well as Citysearch were raving about the place, giving it 5 stars. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I was somewhat disappointed with my experience here. I got the 60-Minute Alpha-Hydroxy Facial, and there was nothing special about it. Maybe their other facials are better, but this just seemed like any other facial I had gotten in the past. Yes, my face was soft and glowing afterwards, but I have never experienced a facial that didn't give me that post-facial glow. Walking into the skin care center, it had a home grown feel to it, like I had just walked into my grandmother's living room. There were photos EVERYWHERE, both of personal family members and pets, and also of celebrity friends of Mamie's. I guess I was expecting a more professional atmosphere, but everything was slightly on the cluttered side. Inside the treatment room, I was given a towel robe to put on for the facial, which was quite comfortable. However, as soon as she got started on the facial, I felt like she just slapped the cream on my face without much care. A bit of it almost got in my mouth, and she never bothered to wipe it off until I started to do so myself. They had a fish tank in the small room, but the sound coming from it was more distracting than it was relaxing. It sounded like how a toilet that's constantly being flushed sounds, rather than the soft trickling of a water fountain. And as far as the service goes, it was just meh. I had purchased a voucher for my facial, so although I didn't have to pay again when I got to the facility, I did have to pay for taxes. Because the amount for the tax didn't meet their required minimum for their credit card machine, they wouldn't take my card. However, the only cash that I had was a $100 bill, and when I tried to pay with that, they couldn't take it because they didn't have enough cash in their register to give me change. Finally, after asking everyone there if they could break the $100, one lady was able to break it for 5 $20 bills. But then when I tried to pay with a $20 bill, they STILL didn't have change for it! Really?? Really. Back to square one. Overall, there was nothing wrong with the results of my facial, but because I couldn't thoroughly enjoy my facial experience, I probably won't be back. read more

AMAZING!! one of the best experiences i have had. Kim was fantastic. I felt completely relaxed and at home; like i was with family. The room was nice and the chair and blankets cozy. I had a microdermabrasion facial, one of the most thorough i have ever experienced. Kim took great care in doing extractions and applying a special mask. She even used high frequency to help heal the skin. If you want to treat yourself this is the place read more

*I meant to post this a year ago...that being said, I went to see Mimi atleast once every 2 months because... From the moment you see her beautiful skin, you know you're in good hands. Once she began her magic, without even touching my face, I felt it become smoother and more supple. Rewind, let me backtrack...I recently moved to NY from living in LA for 8 years, the climate change coupled with daily makeup wear (I have to wear a full face for work...daily) really took a toll on my skin. I was always told that I had skin like porcelain but not when I moved out here (NY)! But I can promise you that after JUST one visit, I can tell that Mamie will help me get my skin clear and glowing :) She CARES about your skin! read more

I previously wrote this review on "Skin By Mamie" at 315 5h Ave, but realized that this new address at 30 E 60th st is the location that I went to, it should be their new location. This was my review!: Mamie is great! I came here with my husband for facials 2 days before our wedding. Mamie gave us extra attention knowing that it was going to be our big day. Although her prices are pretty expensive, it was worth it. She personalized the facials according to our different skin types, and gave us great tips on how to take care of our skin. Our skin looked great for the wedding, and it is definitely thanks to Mamie! read more

Mamie is seriously one of the best facialists in New York. If you want to keep your skin clean, clear, healthy and soft while also learning great skincare tips...go to Mamie's Skin Care Center. If you want something more temporary, go somewhere else. Her goal is really to make your skin better, so she personalizes the facial to your needs. Her spa is also very elegantly designed and extremely relaxing, so you really feel as if you are taking a small vacation from the bustling city once you go there. It's not like one of those large spas where you feel you are literally a number being shoved in an out of a prep room...you get personal care here! It is extremely quaint and low-key for being owned by a person who is nationally recognized for her facials. It's amazing how many times I've received a facial from Mamie and gotten compliments that my skin was "glowing." Please note that most of these compliments came without the person knowing I was seeing a facialist ;) An appointment at Mamie's Skin Care Center is definitely worth it, five stars and nothing less!!! read more

My, my, my! What a wonderful experience! This was my very first professional facial cleansing and Mamie made it a memorable one! From the moment her hands touched my face, I knew I was in "good hands". The room smells delicious as you enter. The cleanliness & soft music add to the ambiance. Comfort & relaxation all the way! This was truly worth the expense. My face was glowing at the end of the treatment! Try her for yourself. You will not be disappointed. read more

I have very mixed feelings about Mamie's. I purchased a Concord facial through Travel Zoo and, unlike other reviewers, didn't have a problem booking an appointment. However, once arriving, I was surprised that the place definitely felt like an old lady's living room, not a NY city spa. I arrived 10 minutes early for my appointment but was kept waiting for close to half an hour. My facialist, Valentina, arrived to the spa late, a few minutes after my appointment was scheduled to start. The"treatment room" was small, cramped, and undecorated, except for a fish tank - not a beautiful, elegant fish tank, more like the one your best friend Bobby had in third grade. While I waited and throughout the entire facial, there were loud voices and noises in the hallway (including what sounded like an air horn coming from another location in the building!) which negated any possibility of relaxation. Apparently, they were preparing for some type of photo shoot, or so said Valentina. The best part - during my facial, Mamie herself entered the room to take a photo of Val doing my facial. When I objected, she said that I wouldn't be in the photo. I could not believe that she simply strolled into the room mid-treatment to snap a photo! However, when it comes to the facial itself - it was amazing! I have gotten regular facials for a decade now and this was probably the best I've ever had. Val has a wonderful extraction technique, thorough but not at all painful, plus her massage skills are fantastic. The microdermabrasion and LED light made my skin absolutely glow afterwards. I have considered going back because the facial was top notch but the memory of the extremely noisy, cluttered space keeps me from returning. read more

I've been seeing Mamie for several months now. I'll keep this short and simply say that she is the best. I won't trust anyone else to do my facials now that I have found her. She provides a customized facial based on your skin during your visit. She is thorough, meticulous, and most of all, has such a cheerful personality -- I feel like I've known her for years! If you want a great facial, go to Mamie! read more

Every time I go to Mamie my skin looks like I am glowing from the inside Mamie is a master at what she does. I have NEVER been anywhere else, or to any other aesthetician who can do what Mamie does, she is a gift and has a gift! Every time I go to Mamie it reminds me what it feels like to love and care for myself. read more

This review is for the EXTREMELY RUDE customer service I received on the phone which would prevent me from ever going into this so-called spa. I called asking about their spaweek promotion for "nonsurgical facelift" and asking what machine they used for that. I went on to say that had gone online and read that there are various lasers used for what is called "nonsurgical facelift" so I wanted to know what they used. She said "Oh No, the title says "NON-surgical facelift, that means NO MACHINES". (Actually lady it doesn't, it just means non-surgery) and then she said "LASER for $50!??!!?" and proceeded to laugh (more like cackle) very loudly for a full 10 seconds. I told her that interestingly enough there are over 20 other places that are offering laser services for $50 during spa week. She told me to go ahead and give them a call. Really? I'm not sure where Miss Mamie learned her manners but she could sure go back to charm school. Earth to Mamie, you own a hole in the wall spa and YOU advertised on spaweek to try to attract customers. What's the point of attracting business if you are going to turn them off with your tacky customer service? Just asking.. read more

Her hands are blessed period. My face gets better each day. It's an indescribable glow. It's a quaint homely atmosphere. Mamie provides expertise and knowledge and great conversation. She doesn't shove products into your bag unless it's absolutely appropriate for your needs. Have you seen her clientele? If you need a place to jump start your face particular your skin this is the place to be. I would give her 10 stars if I could. I only need blush and lip glass when she's done with me and I still feel guilty putting on any make up post facial. Excellence right here in a midtown. PS The price is worth every penny. It's your skin! It's your glow and your first impression. read more

Mamie has a great personality and is extremely knowledgeable!

I loved the facial that I received from Mamie. Right now she's a one woman show and she charges a flat rate for a customized facial which can include microdermabrasion, micro-current services etc. She's very personable and makes you feel comfortable throughout, making it easy to relax and enjoy. Afterwards my skin felt so smooth and was the clearest it'd been in a while. She made sure she got in and cleared out all of my pores. I can't wait to get another facial by Mamie, she's amazing! read more

Completely rude and unprofessional desk staff. I hear the proprietor is great, but she needs to clean house when it comes to her administrative team. They are completely rude and ruined the facial I purchased for my sister's wedding. A hack operation; go elsewhere that is professional from top to bottom. This is New York City, there are many, many other options. read more

I'm having a hormonal/cystic acne breakout around my chin/jawline My skin is super sensitive. My dermatologist suggested I go to Mamie's. She said, "Mamie will give you what you need." It's the truth. After another woman cleaned and prepped me, Mamie came in, looked at my face and went to work. The extractions left me with a few scabs on my face. I was trying to deal with it on my own, but decided to call the office two days after the facial. Her assistant told me to email photos and come into the office. I went back and Mamie did something to my face and all of the scabs were gone. Five days after the first visit to Mamie's my skin has improved. My husband was impressed with how Mamie made the scabs/scaring "disappear." Going to see Mamie is like going to see your aunt. The office has a warm, homey feeling. She talks to you like you are one of her girl friends. Yes, she is aesthetician to the stars, but she took care of this regular girl. I really feel like she cares about my skin/appearance. She is excellent and worth every penny-it is your face! read more

My boyfriend booked me an hour facial at Mamie's through an offer on TravelZoo for Valentines Day. I'd never been for a facial before so was really excited. I arrived exactly on time and only realized when i walked in that i had forgotten to print out the voucher. When i explained i had forgotten i requested to print it out on their computer. There was no one waiting in the salon - nor was the receptionist using it at that time. The answer was NO - and when i assured them i would pay and it would only take a seconds the answer was NO. The receptionist then went back and asked Mamie - she said NO. I then asked for them to tell me where i could print it out around here as i did not live in the area. The receptionist replied that she did not live around here either so NO she couldn't help. I then had to run 10 blocks to a staples to print it out and run the 10 blocks back. Relaxing enjoyable experience - I don't think so. Would i go again - NO! read more

What a dissapointment. Rude staff, bait and switch tactics and mediocre facial. I signed up w travelzoo for a 2 hour facial and microderm abrasion and other treatments. When I arrived I was all but ignored. Then the facialist told me it would only be an hour and a half. When I showed her my voucher for 2 hours I was told, in so many words, just to be glad I was getting anything. The treatment lasted one hour 15 min, only slighly over half the time paid for. They did not give me the hand and foot treatment on my voucher. The facialist was unpleasant the whole time, as if I was an inconvienence. When I spoke to the receptionist I was told she could do nothing, speak to the owner, who wasn't there. Honeslty, I get better facials in chinatown for $35 read more

Received a gift certificate and figured why not? Was a bit put off when I entered an office building but when I entered her suite I was enchanted by the cozy and warm feeling. There are pictures all over of gorgeous skin people so I figure this had to turn off good. I was wrong. it turned out to be the best micro dermabrasion and oxygen facial I ever had. Mamie is knowledgeable, funny and soothing to both your skin and soul. Not only will I be back but I will be gifting her to all my friends for their birthday gifts. read more

I decided to go for a facial here, based on all the wonderful reviews and magazine articles on Mamie being a celebrity favorite, but was very disappointed with my experience. The place was very small, and felt stuffy and unwelcome. There were only 3 very uncomfortable sofas in the waiting area, which seemed smaller than a bathroom stall, and the woman at the reception area was very aloof and unfriendly. I wasn't surprised that my facialist was a young woman named Kym instead of Mamie (gosh she only works on you if you're a supermodel!) and was greeted with screeches every few minutes from Mamie's 2 birds, which was housed in the room across directly across the hall. Even though my facialist was good, it didn't feel relaxing at all with the loud screeching of the birds and visitors who were laughing hysterically with Mamie out in the hall right outside my room (which I thought was quite rude) for about a good 20 min while I was trying to relax. Overall, I would not come back. When I came out, there were a few other ladies waiting, and they were very snotty and condescending. Were they expecting Heidi Klum to come strutting down the hall? read more

Mamie is INCREDIBLE. She has transformed my skin and made it glow in ways I have never seen. On top of that, she is hands down one of the kindest and sweetest woman you'll ever meet. Truly one of a kind in every way! read more

RUDE. I called to redeem a TravelZoo voucher for a facial, and the girl that answered the phone could not have been more rude. They are all booked up through May (the voucher expires 4/30) and told me they couldn't accommodate me so I would need to call TravelZoo for a refund. Most places will make appointments past the expiration date if they are booked up, in order to accommodate their potential customers. She said "well, the deal's been going on since mid-February", inferring that I should have called sooner for an appointment. Well, if you book up 2 months out, then even if I called in mid to late February, you probably wouldn't have been able to accommodate me in April anyway!! When I called TravelZoo for a refund, they said they several other people commented on how rude the receptionist at Mamie's was. I think I'm better off that I wasn't able to go here. If you do choose to go here, be sure to call well in advance. read more

if I could give her 10, 20 stars I would! Ive been going to this woman for 15 years! and because of her i have a glow!!! She cured my acne when dermatologists couldn't! I went from "just ok" skin to the type of skin that people compliment me on all the time. and beyond her skin talent ,she is the most generous, meticulous, specific person i have ever met. She customizes her facials to suit your needs, so there are no annoying up-charge surprises when you get the bill- if she feels you need oxygen or dermabrasion you get it! her extractions are legendary and she gets in deep everywhere- she wont stop until you are flawless! Neck, behind ears, crevices on your face you wis you didn't have! She does so many big models and celebs but when you are with her you feel as if you're the most important client in the world. I love this woman. I love her practice. i cant recommend her enough. Get a facial! you'll be hooked and look better for it! I used to see her monthly. now that Im out of town, I see here whenever I can. a trip to NYC is nothing without her. also- the $$$ is misleading. She's so much more affordable than most places because she's all in so you get all the add ons without the extra cost! read more
