Tribeca Beauty Spa

I've been following Nadia for the past 5 years. She is one of the best estheticians in New York and such a wonderful personality. I have problem skin (acne since I was 12) and Nadia is an extraction queen. She has always provided great skin advice and followed-up about my progress. I've been coming to her new spa in Tribeca for over a year now and have since tried the waxing, nail and massage services as well. All are fantanstic. The atmosphere is very relaxed and unpretentious (thank god!), and has a quaint shabby chic feel to it. I recommed this place to all my friends for good old fashion beauty care. Pros: specialized staff, comfortable and relaxed atmosphere Cons: none more

My sister and I visited the Tribeca Beauty Spa few days ago and we both had a great experience . We had facials, massages and body scrubs and they were terrific. The therapists were welcoming, friendly and very talented. They recommended products used during the treatment ,but there was not a hard sell - just a nice recommendation. We will definatly return. We've been to a number of spas in the city - this was a great experience and a relaxing day. Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

I have found the best waxier ever... Irina gave me a Brazilian bikini in just 15 min.She used a no-strip hard wax. I'm definitively coming back.ll recommend her to all my girlfriends." Iryna you are a wax guru, it was the best experiance ever. more

I went for a massage and facial. When I got there, I changed into a robe and enjoyed the sauna room. As enjoyable as it was, i realized that i probably had been enjoying it a little too long and that my appointment should have started by then. I went to the receptionist to ask what was going on. She said it should be just a few more minutes. Well 15 minutes later, she came down to tell me they were behind schedule and they were going to offer me a free manicure. It was a nice complementary service. I was under the impression that my massage would start right after my manicure but i got to go wait for another 15 minutes. MY FIRST APPOINTMENT STARTED 1.5 HOURS AFTER IT WAS SCHEDULED!!! yes i got a free manicure but is that really worth 1.5 hours of my time? no, not in my book. The treatments i receieved were really great but the managment is horrible and almost ruined my experience. Also, I was not the only one who experienced delays. A couple who was there for a couples massage, was asked by the receiptionist "do you want to be in seperate rooms" umm why would anyone go for a couples massage in seperate rooms. Well, management once again had misscheduled and they were going to have to wait an hour. If you dont mind waiting, come here but if you have things to do in life, there are much better places out there. Pros: knowledgeable staff Cons: lots of waiting time, bad management more

Went in for massage a couple of days ago. A friend told me they had good prices and excellent service so this was the first time I was there. The Spa was nice, downstairs was the locker room and waiting area. The waiting area had fruit. coffee, tea and wine. They also have a nice sauna. My massage was nice, I was a little sore afterward. However there was a lot of noise coming from the reception area. People were talking loud and doors were being slammed. My therapist was very nice. I will be back, maybe for a lighter massage. more

I came here for a men's facial since my girlfriend insisted on it and decided to grab a massage while I was here. I don't normally do Spas, but I can tell you that this place was very clean and comfortable. I came early for my appointment and they were about to start early too, so that worked out great. The facial really did clear up my skin a bit, too my own surprise, my face looked more alive than before. The massage was great too, the girl was cooperative in terms of how deep I wanted the massage and was very skilled. The one thing that DID bother me was that the women who did my facial (who I think is the owner of the spa), kept trying to sell me facial cleaners and other products. It was rather annoying. I came out of the great massage and she was standing at the front desk trying to sell things, it really ruined the experience at the end and cheaped the whole experience. Its one thing to recommend me a product and say something along the lines of "I will leave this for you at the front, if you're interested", but standing there and at the end and pressuring me is taking it a bit to far. Overall, I would still very much recommend this place. The services were excellent and the facilities are great too. Pros: Great facial and massage, clean, inviting Cons: Too much emphasis on selling products more

My friend and I needed a day off. We organized a spa day. Some friends who attended a spa party here recommended us this place. When scheduling appointments they worked with me to have me and my friend receive the treatments at the same time. I was asked if we wanted to use the sauna and the lounge area which was such a relaxing experience between the treatments. After using the sauna the 2 massage therapists took us to the room and asked us if we wanted to be in the same room. During the massage they would constantly check in with us if the pressure was enough, if there were any areas that we wanted them to concentrate on. After the massage; Side by side we received crystal bubble manicure and pedicure, which felt great and my toes and fingers never felt cleaner. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating that while receiving the service they brought us fresh fruit and white wine...hmmm My friend and I cannot wait to come here again for those famous facials we heard about. And we are recommending this spa to all of your friends Pros: pleasant, accommodating staff, clean Cons: hard to find parking more

This spa has to be the best one I had ever been to and I have been going to many throughout NYC! The spa is beautiful and intimate and the employees were extremely friendly. I felt pampered sipping on tea and eating fresh fruit. The waxing is as painless and professional as it can be (I have been to several ladies here for brazilian waxes and eyebrow shaping-all of them are very skilled) and Daniella does a fabulous massage. Last time i was there, my friend had an amazing facial which I can not wait to experience myself! I can not stop raving about this gem to all my friends, I just purchased a gift certificate here for my mother so she can see what I am so thrilled about! Pros: beautiful spa, amazing employees, cozy more

I had broken out (understatement) due to stress and needed an emergency facial. i called the spa who was able to work with my schedule and book a facial for that day. I received a call from the Spa around an hour before my appointment giving me the heads up that they were running 10-15 behind. I was amazed at how considerate they were and how much aggravation they saved me witih one phone call so i wouldn't come down there and wait around getting upset (if only doctor offices would follow suit...). I got there and had Ivanka as my facialist. She examined my skin and was brutally honest about what she could and couldn't do. I left there feeling unsure whether it was worth the money spent but after just one day- my skin was completely clear!! I received so many compliments and feel amazing about my complexion now. It was worth every penny and more. I urge anyone looking for an effective facial to come to Tribeca. It's amazing!! Pros: Staff is very friendly and walking in- the atmosphere was relaxing and soothing. Cons: facial room is somewhat small more

I have been going to Tribeca Beauty Spa for many years and can't say enough about the quality of the services and the staff. Last month I threw a spa day party for my bridesmaids before my wedding and was so impressed with the event that I had to write! All of us had mani/pedis and a massage and it was the perfect relaxing and fun day to have before my wedding with my friends and family. I have had many different services here, but mostly massage, waxing and facials, which are all stellar. The choice of products used for the facials are also fabulous and my skin always looks and feels great when I leave. Also, if anyone is looking for a great bikini wax, I MUST recommend Nadia. Although I was initially very timid (and endured several bad and very painful experiences at other spas), I now only go to Nadia for a brazilian. She makes you feel very comfortable and makes the process as painless as possible! I travel down from the upper east side to go to Tribeca Beauty Spa and its 100% well worth the trip! I've been to other spas and always feel much more comfortable at Tribeca Beauty Spa because of its welcoming and relaxed environment. Particularly as I enjoy a nice cup of tea and relax with a magazine while I wait to start my service! more

I've been going here since it opened about a year ago. Nadia is the best! She does a great job with eyebrow waxing...always making sure to never go too thin. She is also amazing with facials. My skin ends up perfectly clear and glowing every time. They are also open 7 days a week and have great monthly specials. I've been to a few spas in the area, and this one definitely is the best. more

This is was my first Brazilian Bikini experience, and i have to admit before going in there I felt as if i was going to the chair but the waxer was so sweet and understanding and most importantly knowledgeable that she put my mind at ease...she recommended to use the sensitive wax since it was my first time and i have to admit it was extremely quick and did not feel a thing... after that i took advantage of their seasonal special which are a steal. Recommended two of my other friends and they agreed with me... Pros: Knowladgebale staff, Friendly, great ambience and courtesy more

The customer service was awesome and Tribeca staff was on point with every little detail when it came to my comfort. I thank them so much for the wonderful experience and I am looking forward to going back again really soon! I will be sure to recommend you guys to all my Brides to be, so that they can also experience such wonderful treatment. more

I visited the spa on Saturday with my sister and my mother and her friend, we were under the impression that we had four mani-pedi appointments for 4:00. When my mom and I arrived at 3:30 we were ushered in promptly for our pedicures and when my sister arrived at 4:15, one of the receptionists decided that maybe she should help out and she proceeded to work on my sister. When the fourth member of our party arrived, we learned that they did not have four people to assist us and that we'd have to wait. Although our nails ultimately came out well, the women assisting us were extremely unfriendly, and the manager was extremely unaccommodating and even further expressed no apologies or sense of remorse for the miscommunication. To make things worse, we were getting our nails done for my sister's wedding, and they did not even seem to care that we had dinner plans etc. Two of us were finished at 6:30 and the other two at 7:10... The manager was extremely rude, and while it may not have been his fault that the situation turned out the way it did, he did nothing to improve the situation. He did however serve champagne, grapes, cookies and jelly rings. If that's your thing and you don't mind rude, unaccommodating, not that great of an atmosphere, then this place is fine. Also, don't expect to spend less than $50 for a mani-pedi before tip. Also, know that they only have 2 manicuring stations and 3 pedicure chairs (not comfortable or reclining), and a drying station is extremely hard to find. Flush your money, waste your afternoon, go to the Tribeca Beauty Spa. Pros: Liesurely Stay Cons: Rude, Slow, Ambience is just OK more

Well, after reading all the reviews below, it looks like I should have read them first and specifically asked for Nadia. I went on a Sunday (last appointment of the day.) Got a weird vibe when the host told us he'd have to check the co-ed dressing room to see if there were any men in there (which there were), so then we had to wait for that. We changed and our massage therapists took us to the room. Mine did not introduce herself to me at all - I didn't know her name til it came time to write it on the tip envelope and had to ask the host for it. I had a confusing experience. I was down for a hot stone massage, which I was totally looking forward to because I'd never had one. The massage started out and I kept thinking "this is kind of rough, not relaxing." I kept waiting for hot stones. About 15 minutes in I sensed maybe something was wrong but didn't say anything. Halfway through when she told me to flip over, I knew I was in for the wrong massage but still didn't say anything because if it was her job to make me relax, I didn't want to screw up her vibe. Long story short, they had me down for a Swedish massage. Nobody asked me before or after what I was in for, though I did fill out a sheet saying I was there for relaxation. They initially tried to give me a gift certificate for a future hot stone massage, but I was able to get some money off (a smaller amount) for the fact that my experience was not relaxing at all (I spent the whole time trying to figure out if I was in for the right treatment and whether or not I should say anything.) In addition, the girl had neglected to clip her own fingernails so I got quite a few scratches on my back. Also, some of the things in the Swedish massage were uncomfortable, so at least I know now not to ever get that treatment again. Looks like I'll have to learn about a hot stone massage somewhere else. Cons: lack of communication skills more

I recently visited the Tribeca Beauty Spa for a facial with Nadia, the owner. Wow- was I impressed! My skin was in desperate need of a good facial since I had been traveling internationally and it really showed on my face. Nadia was incredibly thorough and really gave my skin a great cleaning. Within seconds of being in her treatment room, I was instantly relaxed and knew I was in the excellent hands of a serious skincare expert. I left without any redness or blotches and the next day my skin just glowed- I didn?t need to wear any makeup! Days after my facial, my husband kept commenting on how fresh and rested I looked. I had a customized facial, which I highly recommend to anyone. Nadia used an assortment of B.Kamins, Chemist skincare products, which felt simply divine. They also offer an ultra luxurious, anti-aging facial- the Diamond Radiance facial from B.Kamins, Chemist- which I can't wait to try on my visit to Nadia! The lower level has a wonderful steam and sauna and an inviting lounge area. It would be the perfect place to gather with a small group- either for mother/daughter day or a bachlorette party. Overall, the spa has a warm, mellow and relaxed vibe and you don?t feel the rush of the city. It is a great place to escape for some pampering and the benefits of Nadia?s magic touch will last long after your visit! Pros: Nadia, the owner, is amazing, spa is really charming, cozy and relaxing- don't feel like you are in NYC, open 7 days a week more

I went to Tribeca Beauty Spa during the spa week of 4/19/2008...It was more than I expected for my first time ever at a spa or getting spa treatment. I was the first customer for the day and the minute i pushed the door open it was nothing my courtesy. the receptionist (I forget his name) he got me settled in by showing me around from bathroom to den area. the spa itself is really beautiful as they incorporated alot of european tones and decorative values. everything is remarkably clean and the staff beyond helpful. If you get a massage ask for Nadia or ericka, a friend had reffered me to Maria but Nadia Ericka really was helpful and kept it straight to the point on what my massage should be what I want. my pedicure was done by lily, she was really nice and friendly, especially the conversation as i was alone and kinda skeptical about spas, she really knew how to be of service to the customer, but what really put me in the green circleabout this spa was how much they cared, as I was getting my pedicure the receptionist walked by and offered me snacks or a drink and then gave me a glass of ice cold water with lime, i never felt so pampered in my life. If your looking for a place to unwind from the city choose this spa especially when your done there are lots of shops to go afterwards! Pros: Ambience, Service, Amenities, Services, Prices Not bad either Cons: None! more

I visited Tribeca Beauty Spa for spa week with my sister and had my first facial. The people were very nice and friendly. They did not push their products on you but did give you the option to buy them and explained their use. Although it was spa week I did not feel rushed as I have heard about other spas. The spa itself is very clean and well decorated. It is a charming place in a cool area. Definitely worth a trip back! Pros: Nice Decor, Friendly Staff, Nice Area Cons: None more

I recently needed to get ready for a vacation to the beach and was in the market for a new waxer. I looked on citysearch and saw the reviews about the amazing brazilian wax; I took a chance and tried them for the first time. This was the best thing I did. Nadia was my waxer ( I had a full leg and brazilian done) and she was so quick and painless... I will never go elsewhere. PS They had this great deal for waxing during the week; so all and all it was pretty reasonably priced too. Pros: Clean, Cozy, Friendly staff, fabulous for waxing Cons: a little hard to find more

Just went here for a spa week massage, which was fantastic. Nice and relaxing atmosphere. more
