Great Spa with Friendly Staff and Consistent Results – I have very acne-prone and sensitive skin that I've been dealing with for ten years. I don't like taking medication and was delighted when I found Essential Skin Care Spa three and a half years ago. Since then, the skilled estheticians at Essential have really made a difference in my skin. My esthetician, Madeline, is so friendly, kind, and gentle. I usually go every two to three months for an Alpha Chemical Peel and/or Microdermabrasian. I always see results that last u... read more

Wonderful first time experience at Essential. – A close friend of mine referred me to this place at Union Square before. But I never had a chance to visit. It's online special offered by Essential got my attention finally. I went in for 60 mins Antiwinkle treatment. I've been reading their reviews online which are quite mixed. People are complaining about the staff pushed the sales too much. So I was kinda worried they were going to do that to me. But apparently they took the advice and responded to that. During the whole 60... read more

Spare yourself, your skin and money – last i went, i got a microdermabrasion facial. they obviously didn't know or care (or both) in what they were doing. immediately after the session, they pushed me to sign up for their package that requires an upfront installment payment. the girl at the reception had a calculator at hand trying to bargain with me. i felt like i was at a flea market and felt more stressed leaving than when i came. afterwards, my poor face peeled off scales of dry skin for the next 2 months. it was so bad ... read more

Great for your money – I have been a loyal client to Essential Skin Care for about a couple of months now. I came in with acne and splotches on my face that I just wanted to go away. They gave me: 6 Microdermabrasion with Facial, 6 alpha peel, 6 lightening treatments, 4 high frequency, and free herbal masks for like 1200 bucks. I know it sounds liek a lot but do the math, usually salons charge you 200 for micro! I did around 4 treatments without using their products and did not get much results. However, their products work ... read more

Awesome – I have only been there once, but I plan on going back again and again. I went last week for microdermabrasion and a peel. I got a lot for my money and the staff was great. I have major skin problems such as clogged and enlarged pores and acne. I've only had one treatment and I noticed a major difference. I highly recommend this spa.

Gets Results – Before going to Essentials, I had never had a facial. I didn't have major acne, but I wanted to take care of some blackheads on my forehead and nose that I couldn't get rid of with over the counter products. I went to Essentials for the first time in December 2007 for a facial that was advertised for $40. I ended up leaving with a package for 5 more facials and a ton of very expensive product. At first I walked out feeling like I was crazy to spend so much more money than I originally planned, but after seeing... read more

Cheap pricing, inconsistent service, persistently pushing products – I went there for a facial and was really happy with the service. (Maybe because they want to reel you in). I was asked if I want to buy a package of 6 treatments and I agreed because it was a good deal. Just be aware that during facial they will asked you if you want to purchase additional service for example cold cream to put on your face for additional charge and you can say no. I try several different girls and some are better than others but there is th... read more

Right place for acne and scar treatment, recommend it. – I started to come for facial treatments at Essential Skin Care in April 07. I have to say, my acne problem bothered me for a very long time and I could never find something, or some treatments that would really solve this problem util I came here. After only 2 treatments my acne were all gone and I could start doing microdermabrasion starting the 3rd visit to treat my acne scars. Two more sessions down, my skin looks radiant and I haven't even finish my package yet. Es... read more

Essential Skin Care v.s. My Educated Guess – I came across the Essential Skin Care after leaving the office of a licensed Dermatologist and ventured in out of curiosity. I asked the receptionist about treatments for acne scars and she quickly suggested micro-dermabrasion. Through her broken English she suggested a complete package of approx. 6 laser treatments to even out my skins' scars. I was very surprised at the prices esp. because I'd just priced the same treatment for thousands of dollars at a doctors office. This plac... read more
