I've had a lot of facials and let's, um, face it: no matter how much they cost, you pretty much end up with the same results. Your pores will look and feel clean for a few weeks, you'll drop a silly amount of money on whatever product the facialist is pushing that month and for what? I've been to many of the famous skin care places in the city and this one was better than average but not worth the money. The women were nicer and less pushy than Christine Chin (awful) and classier than Mario Badescu but then again, MB charges around $60 for a facial with extractions--which is all anyone really wants--and here it's more like $160!!! And that's to be politely chastised the whole time about my facial regimen and told I needed to buy different products. They picked some black heads, slathered on a bunch of different layers of creams and gave a mediocre massage. I say overrated.
Pros: Friendly staff, carries Epicuren products
Cons: Way overpriced, not totally convinced the staff is honest about their advice
