When I first started my facials with Jillian, I was completely desperate. I was a young girl suffering with stubborn acne with no end in sight. I had literally tried everything from products to supplements to energy work and beyond. Nothing gave me results that lasted.
I started off with the "Acne Clearing" facial by Jillian. I was pleased with the immediate results because it was refreshing to have my skin cleared out. After that first visit, I decided to ditch the pharmaceutical creams that my dermatologist had prescribed just to give the products that Jillian works with a shot. What did I have to lose?
This ended up being one of the best decisions I've made in regards to my skin care. I started with the transport pads as well as a mix of products by the Bio-Elements line. Ever since that first visit, nearly a year ago, I have been a devotee to the products carried by Jillian's spa as well as a regular facial client (I now do the Lumi-Facial with extractions and love it!). I go for my facial every month- religiously- because this is most effective for my type of acne prone skin.
I will go nowhere else for my facials. Jillian Wright and her entire team have been 110% supportive of me and my battle with acne. Anytime I have a question, I call the spa. From time to time, I've emailed Jillian with a question or two about my personal regime and how that may effect my skin. EVERY TIME I emailed with a concern, I was addressed immediately with a thorough response. I've even gone in (day of) to take care of certain spots before a performance or a shoot. I mean, can you get any better than that?
Jillian truly cares about her clients. She is knowledgeable and passionate. It also helps that she gives the best facials in all of New York City. Clearing up my acne has changed everything for me. I feel confident and in touch with my own skin. Last, but certainly not least, feel supported by Jillian and her team.
Do yourself a favor and try them out. If I've learned anything from them it's that you deserve to feel your best.
Pros: amazing support, beautiful space, acne gone!

My previous move (not with Flat Rate) was terrible! Not only did they increase their rate once my stuff was all loaded on the truck but they damaged and lost a bunch of my stuff. I filed a claim and was awarded a settlement, but by that time the company was already bankrupt and out of business. Sooo, I was very skeptical of moving companies but went with Flat Rate based on a friend's recommendation. I dealt with Craig Yettra who was EXTREMELY helpful. He was friendly and professional and answered all my paranoid questions with remarkable patience and understanding. He assured me that my rate would indeed be flat, and it was! The crew who did the packing and moving (Sam and Sophian, I think) were also amazing- very fast, friendly, and careful. I could not have been more pleased with this move and will use Craig and Flat Rate for every move I have going forward!
Pros: Excellent customer service (thanks to Craig)
Cons: NONE, honestly!

I went to Rachel at laicale and she was great! she gave me beautiful perfect blond highlights. She was really nice to me, not stuck up like at some other places, and she listened to what i wanted and then made some suggestions. my hair looks better than it ever has. I don't know what she did to it, but it was even soft a shiny, most times right after I have it colored its still dull and kinda fried. highly recommend Rachel to anyone!!!
Pros: best blond highlights ever
Cons: parking is confusing

I never write reviews, but I always look at the them before making an appointment. I had heard of Cutler and knew one person who liked their stylist there (David). I read the reviews which are mostly positive. I have to say, I made an appointment and was so impressed with my experience. Definitely going back. David knew exactly what he was doing. Listened to me, asked a lot of questions and really did an amazing job.
Pros: Nice staff, knew what they were doing

I've been going to Jasellynne, or Jay as some call her, for over a year now and every time I leave I feel like a million bucks. She cuts hair with such skill and ease that its just incredible how everything comes out! The environment of the salon is very calm and you feel pampered as soon as you step in the door. Overall, this is a WONDERFUL salon and I highly recommend Jasellynne!
Pros: great, great, GREAT haircuts

By far the best pizza anywhere. When in NY I want to eat there everyday. Their Original is a marguerita (sp?) pizza that is STOOPID GOOD. You will like it. The wait can be long but worth it.
Pros: Their Original Pizza, Ambiance, History, Neighborhood
Cons: Not Any

I've been going to Ted Gibson for about a year now. The first time I heard of the salon was because I'd heard Ted was the hairstylist to Angelina Jolie, but I was sort of intimidated because I imagined it would snotty or pretentious -- not the case at all!
The salon itself is quite small and intimate, and the decor is modern, yet warm. You are greeted immediately when you get out of the elevator, and Ted and Jason can often be seen in the salon when they aren't travelling. (Jason has a large station set up in the center of the salon.) They also offer a wide variety of beverages and hand and scalp massages.
From a skill perspective, this team rocks! I see Liam for my cuts, and Jose for my color. Liam is always vibrant and has a very fun-loving personality. He spends time tailoring your haircut to your lifestyle and physical features so you get something that complements you perfectly. Jose is very matter-of-fact, and a perfectionist (which I appreciate!) He is a highlighting genius, and was able to bring my dark Asian hair to gorgeous, sun-kissed strands. Seriously, his highlights are masterpieces in and of themselves.
The pricepoints at Ted Gibson's are pretty high, but are on par with any high-end NYC salon. Also, they do offer loyalty discounts, as well as referral promotions, so that helps alleviate the monetary burden a bit.
I will definitely continue going here again and again!
Pros: Non-Pretentious, Personal Attention, Convenient Location

We went here for our engagement dinner, and it was perfect. The place was crowded (which I equate with good food), but it wasn't very loud. We were seated in the room that leads to the balcony, and the christmas lights were lit. That, the candles, and the flowers on the table, set the perfect romantic mood. The restaurant only offers prix fixe (at least when we went), and I don't remember exactly what we got, but it was very, very good. All in all, a perfect night and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.
Pros: Great food, very romantic ambience
Cons: A bit pricey (2 dinners, 1 glass of wine = $250)
