I went to Mario Badescu for a facial because I love one of Badescu's skin care products (drying lotion) and because MB salon claims they specialize in deep extraction facials. I was aware of the ratings. However, I'm European and European facials are in general much more cleansing and more into extractions and it's been challenging to find a good facial lady in NYC for me. People are afraid to do good extractions here. Long story short I do not need luxury. However, the MB salon does have a very uncomfortable vibe and it is certainly very outdated. I did not feel well there and the facial was nothing special. I ended up cleaning my skin at home myself a day after I got a facial at MB. That is a sign of bad facial to me. I was not happy at all and wasted my money completely.
Pros: good products
Cons: Not great facial, old not inviting salon, bad experience
