I got the lymphatic body massage; the massage itself was fine. I called and booked the same day, which was appreciated, but when I got there, there was no one at the desk, and I kinda just waited for 5 minutes before someone came in. The space itself was clean and nice, seemed high-end. The main reason I am giving a 3-star review is that the person who performed my massage and the person who checked me in walked me to a room, left me sitting there for a bit before coming in and giving any instructions. Then, the massage was taking place; again, the massage itself was fine. Nothing too crazy and not something I would go out of my way to come back for. But then on the way out, I heard them talking about my tattoos, which just made me feel uncomfortable because I don't understand the need to make any comments. Then they kept pointing out how red my face was, after I explained that I have eczema, so my face is red from a skin condition. They pointed it out again. I think it would've been different if I were getting a facial and they were making a comment on my facial skin condition, but it wasn't. I was getting a body service, so the comments felt unneeded. I was thinking about also getting a hydrafacial from them but I don't think I will be coming back. read more

Found this place on instagram and wasn't sure what to expect as am used to big name spas. Well was I surprised!!! I had one of the most thorough facials of my life! Ada was absolutely amazing. She did hydrofacial, PROPER lymphatic drainage (never had it done so well!), as well as all the trimmings of a beauty facial. My skin was the best I'd seen it in years! Loved chatting with her aswell, so friendly and positive. Walked out on cloud 9!!! Will be back! read more

The BEST. They helped me figure out my skin & it's always the most relaxing hour of my month when I go. I've been going here for many years - it's the coziest, family-feeling medspa in the city. They really care about you read more

I could not agree more with Flora H's review from 2yrs ago. It seems not much has changed in the last 2yrs. I too was underwhelmed by the aesthetic of the spa however decided to keep my judgment at bay until after the lymphatic facial/dermaplaning experience I had booked. Once I laid down to begin my treatment, I was immediately upsold an extraction add on. While I don't mind investing in such treatments, the treatments itself were very sloppy, rough and careless. During the cleansing process, pads were harshly zig zagged across my face without much thought or technique. My lash extensions were tugged at and completely ruined as the technician continued to arbitrarily wipe my face. The hydro extraction was a senseless sort of rough where I almost felt violated. This would foreshadow what would come next. The dermaplaning experience was also quite lacking in skill resulting in a nerve racking experience as it was clear there was no real technique in which the blade was sweeping across my face. I've experienced enough facial treatments to know when your aesthetician lacks skill and/or the experience you expect at $325. They switched technicians for the lymphatic facial and I hoped the experience would change but it remained sub par. She did one side of my face, showed me the mirror and expected me to be in awe of the difference between the two sides of my face. Unfortunately, I couldn't see a difference. I felt compelled to get up and leave at that point but didn't want to cause a scene. She finished up the other side of my face and proceeded to pile on a ton of sticky cream which she struggled to spread on. It was so thick, I had to ask for a towel to wipe the layers of product off my face. When I finally got in front of a mirror, I looked worse than when I had arrived. Red patches appeared where there once were none and I didn't feel like my beautiful self. You invest in these self care experiences and you expect to leave there feeling and looking better than when you arrived but this experience completely ruined my morning and made me regret choosing this establishment on a rare PTO day. The aesthetician could sense my disappointment so didn't charge me for the extraction add on and gave me a $81 discount on the lymphatic facial (although I believe this is a standard discount for 1st time customers which I was). I still ended up paying $184 which is a hefty sum for the sub par experience. I'm very confused by the positive reviews. This place is not it. I'd like a refund if the owner is reading this post. EDIT: I was immediately issued a refund which I greatly appreciate. read more

I got a lymphatic drainage facial and massage - the massage was wonderful - I'd honestly give the quality of the massage 4 stars, but the overall experience and facial are no more than 2 stars - the facial was underwhelming and I left feeling so greasy. Someone else kept coming in and out of the room and when I was turning over from front to back, they opened the door so the esthetician could come in while I was completely exposed. I didn't feel like my skin was deeply cleansed and I was charged $50 for an additional 15 minute massage that feels like it should have been part of the standard facial, without that massage it would have been a 30 minute facial with a gua sha The whole experience felt a bit rushed and during the facial I couldn't relax because they kept trying to upsell me from extractions ($25 for something that took 2 minutes and was not at all thorough) to a monthly membership and she asked mid facial if I wanted to commit to it I understand this is a business but people are more likely to return if they have a good experience. I really wanted to like this place and was excited to find a place that offered a lymphatic drainage massage and facial but I honestly just couldn't wait to get home and shower. read more

Didn't love my experience at Anso Med Spa. Based on the prices, I expected a nicer "spa" experience but it was a dingey space that is basically a converted apartment (without much thought). I could get past that initial impression since this is NYC, but the next thing that came was an attempt to upsell me with a lady punching numbers into a calculator for various add ons. I stood firm - I just wanted the lymphatic facial massage - which seemed to annoy them, but they then tried to sell me on a package of them. I stood firm again. After the "massage" I looked much worse - there were red blood patches all over my face - but they kept going on and on about how great and how much better I looked and tried to upsell me again. I said I wanted to give it some time to see how my face reacted over the next week (true, as it initially looked awful) and can say that over time the bloody patches went away, but I don't think I looked any better. Maybe this is just what your face looks like after any lymphatic massage, but I would have more respect and appreciation for that if they had told me that rather than try to say how amazing I looked when I clearly did not. Not a very professional place and based on other reviews I should probably expect to be harassed after writing this review, but feel a responsibility to share my experience. read more

I came across ANDO thru Instagram and was initially curious of their facial services and inquired if an open slot for the afternoon was available. They responded immediately and booked my first NYC lymphatic facial but decided to add a deep cleaning and extraction! The service was impeccable! Thorough and relaxing. My skin was supple and clear after the treatment! Sofia was kind enough to give me a sample product and recommended the best sunblock! Overall it was beyond great! I cannot wait for my next appointment! read more

I've been coming here for a couple years and I've always been very satisfied and beyond happy with the treatments and service. They really do care for your well being. My favorite facial treatment right now is the Fotana Laser. I've been coming in for acne treatment and acne scarring. It's MUCH BETTER than your typical microneedling needle. I love the laser. It's quick, efficient, bearable, has a cooling air blower to cool areas of your face as needed. The downtime was faster for me. I had 3 medium sized pimple scars on my right cheek and i was shocked to see that it disappeared pretty quickly. I'm very excited for my second appointment soon! I've been feeling very insecure, ugly, and depressed lately over how bad my acne scarring had gotten because of cystic acne I had in college and my early 20s. Most of my acne is under control now and I'm really looking forward to improving my skin. read more

This was my first facial in a very long time and I was definitely nervous and had a lot of questions. I really appreciate that Sofia was kind and talked me through the process and was a wealth of information. Sofia paid a lot of attention to how my skin was reacting to products and adjusted as appropriate. It was a little more expensive than I normally spend on myself but I don't have a baseline for comparison to other locations. Overall, I would recommend checking it out! read more

The quality of the Deep Cleansing Facial was Top Notch ! Sofia was thorough and precise in targeting areas that i had build up. I emerged with the most glowy and clean skin I have ever had. I highly recommend this establishment and will surely go back and try their full body massage. I had a delightful experience and recommend the beginners facial package ...just perfect if you haven't had a facial in a while. Thanks You Anso for my glorious GlowUp !!! read more

I have a facial membership and today I got the best facial from a new esthetician, Raiin. She asked about my skin concerns and tailored the facial accordingly. She was gentle but effective with extractions and gave me a relaxing massage while my mask was setting. Looking forward to returning and requesting her services. read more

My Husband and I had Hydrafacials done with Ann and Sofia the day after Christmas and I must say it was the BEST of the BEST! I am an aesthetician in Houston Tx., and this was actually my first Hydrafacial! This facial exceeded my expectations! My husband and I left feeling and looking completely rejuvenated with glowing skin! Ann and Sophia were very personable, friendly, and explained the treatment process very well! This was the best thing I have done in a long time! I am now hooked on having regular facials! I will definitely be back to see Ann and Sophia! 10/10 would recommend!!!! read more

Anso Med Spa provides one of the best massages I have ever had in my life. The massage therapist is very professional and skilled. My back was bothering me, and after my massage, I felt renewed! read more

Absolutely love coming here! Sofia is great. I was hesitant a few years ago to come because the previous facial I had left my skin very red and irritated. Here, Sofia is able to clear your acne while also making sure your skin does not become inflamed or irritated at all. It's the perfect combination of effective and relaxing! Couldn't recommend these facials more. read more

Entering the floor, the space is quite clean and modern. I believe they share the floor with another company, which was a tiny bit confusing but I was immediately greeted. Despite a little bit of language barrier combined with the Covid mask mumble, the deep tissue massage was lovely. Such great pressure and expertise! The massage therapist was so kind and professional. I ended up purchasing a pack of sessions so I can try the facial next time too! read more

Appointment was made online for 5 pm, arrived 10 minutes early as they messaged me 2 days before requesting that I should. Everything was so easy. She asked my name and told me I can take a seat. Promptly at 5 Ivy came to take me to a room for my facial. She was patient and explained everything she did, what she used and why she used it. After the session, She asked if I'll like to know what specials they have and told me whenever I was ready to let her know so I can finalize my payment. She did not request a tip or pressured me to provide a certain amount. It showed her professionalism, so I tipped her well. I would definitely come here again. read more

One of the best facials I've experienced TO DATE. It was completely luxurious. She was thorough and really took her time with every step of the way. She let me know about my skin being dry and altered to meet my skin's concerns which was pretty good. Sadly it came to an end but not before she gave me a pretty luxurious massage. She first started out on focusing on my lymph system and ended it with working on my shoulder muscles. I had a bit of an add-on with an amazing 10 minute scalp massage. I already booked by next 2 visits! read more

I visited Ann Sofia yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at the level of quality customer service received. My Aesthetician was Jade Chen, who provided me an 60 minute hydro facial. She was very personable and explained in great detail, every step when applying products and made recommendations for after care of my skin. She even gave me a 20 minute complimentary massage; which was out of this world! I decided to purchase a package; as I will be returning. I also need to mention that the interior of the place was clean and is nicely decorated and tranquil. Please do not hesitate securing services at Ann Sofia. You will not regret it! read more

Received excellent treatment on my visit from both Sofia & Ann! They were very friendly and determined to meet my needs and took time to understand what my concerns were. The facial was exactly what I needed. The bustling city and polluted air contributed to my clogged and dull skin. The extensive steps on their facial package focuses on hypoallergenic peeling (very gentle, no pain at all!), hydrating and lifting therefore resulting in firmer and smoother skin. I love the extra care Sofia gives to my sensitive skin. The products used were organic, I didn't have any reactions at all! (I fell asleep during the facial, that's how painless and relaxing it was!) Love it! Woke up feeling refresh and alive (again)! Next, massage time! Ann was definitely very experienced. She takes pride in her techniques. My body was so sore as I just joined a gym recently, so her massage was a little bit painful, but in a good way. I was back in the gym the next day as my muscles were more relaxed and ready to take on more workouts! =) Thank you Ann & Sofia! It was definitely an amazing experience! read more

I had the deep cleansing facial here and it was wonderful. I wasn't able to care for my skin properly for months and wearing the masks caused so much acne. Sofia was great and she even recommended some products and skin care routine I can do help my skin stay moisturized and, hopefully, acne-free from now on. Also with CoVid-19 going on, the beds they use all have disposable, layers/blankets which you lay on after you down grade or keep whatever clothing you have on. They are not offering the robes which is definitely understandable at this time. I probably recommend for others to dress comfortably, I wore leggings and a lose T shirt which was fine. Definitely coming back here. read more

My best friend gifted me a hydrotherapy facial here and I had the best facial of my life with Sofia! It was incredible...there were so many sensations on my face, neck and shoulders...warm, cold, pressure, light scents...and such an amazing massage. I jokingly asked her to make me look 20 years younger and I have to say she came close! I have never felt so completely relaxed. My skin felt so soft and smooth, my bf even noticed! I will be back and you should go. Now. read more

My experience today at Ann + Sofia was amazing. I can sincerely say I got the best facial ever by Jade. She really explained step by step what she was doing and made some recommendations for my skin. I've been to other places and I always leave with my face looking irritated. Jade made sure my skin didn't look like that. I bought another session with her, so I will be going back soon. I left really happy! read more

Ann was wonderful. She paid a lot of attention to my personal needs and skin concerns. It was very relaxing and soothing. I have sensitive skin and sometimes prone to hormonal acne and she customized my facial and gave me some massage for product absorption. I recommend her a lot! read more

This is NOT a Hydrafacial. Completely false advertising. This is just a regular facial that they are using the name hydrafacial. If you want a nice space for a basic facial, then go for it, but if you're looking for a hydrafacial this is not it. Also, fair warning, they use a needle for extractions. She wanted to pierce my cystic acne with a needle! This is an obvious no-no to anyone who has has had more than one facial in their life. This causes scarring. Long story short, I'm very upset I spent any money here. read more

I've been with AnnSofia for a couple of years, and each time after my massage session I feel great and relieved! My lower back and neck strain reduced by so much from just a single session, which typicality doesn't happen with many of the massuese I've tried. This tells me that my acupressure points were focused on (I worked with physical therapists clinic before - this is all we talk about) and that the therapy works! Secondlt, massage therapy is known to improve your blood circulation. Today I came in with my hands/feet cold (17 degrees outside), but I'm leaving in warmth because of the healthier circulation that helps warm my body. I love how my body reacts immediately to the therapy. It doesn't lie to me Overall, I am so glad I treated myself on this cold, cold day and I will continue to come back and support their business! It's not often you find a place with consistent + quality service ! read more

I love the facials that I receive. Also Sofia and Ann are amazing!!! They are so caring and honest! I feel like part of the family. After I leave my face feels so bright and smooth. Most amazing facial ever! Highly recommend read more

You never know what to expect when you try out a new spa, particularly when you purchase off of Groupon. I went into this appointment feeling awful and not expecting much, however I couldn't have been more wrong. The interior of the building is lovely, of course, but the facial and extractions I received from Sophia left me thinking, okay this is really what is meant about "self-care". I purchased the water facial and Sophia did an amazing job on my skin. The extractions were wonderful and my skin is still glowing. I was so happy and impressed that before I left I purchase three more facials for both me and family members. Bottom line: it's been a hard few years for all of us. Treat yourself well and come to Anne and Sophia for a facial. I know I will be adding them to my monthly beauty routine. read more

Sophia took one look at my skin and knew exactly what I needed. the services are personalized which shows their attention to detail. She also let me know what my particular blemish arias meant for my health. (which I am always grateful for that knowledge) the face and décolletage massage left me in complete bliss. five out of five starts read more

Came back today for the Hydrofacial and absolutely loved it! My esthetician, Ling, was great! Amazing face massage and shoulder massage. She used a tea tree oil liquid thing on some of my acne which helped them to settle without any extractions. Overall, would recommend! read more

This was my first time at Ann + Sofia & it was so amazing I got the package deal to come back for future treatments! Natalia was my Aesthetician and she was really nice and gentle with my skin, explaining what was going to be done. Sophia got me set up in my room and she looked at my skin and made recommendations on what the facial should focus on. I got the Customized Hydro Magic Facial With Oxygen and my face feel so hydrated. Sophia's mom gave me a massage towards the end and for a small woman, she can really put pressure on the body, in a good way. I'm gifting a facial to my brother because I feel like anyone living in the NYC could really use one every once in a while with all who knows what in the air. :-) read more

I got a hydra facial Groupon and got my session with Jade. She was very professional and explained what she was doing. She also gave me a free add on mask since my skin was on the sensitive side. The space is very beautiful and relaxing. There's also water and another massage service sharing the space. I ended up buying a 3 pack of facials so I'll be back. Hopefully, the quality of service stays great :) read more

I came in today for a hydro facial and had a great experience! First of all, the space is beautiful and calming right when you walk in. Ivy customized the facial to my needs and addressed all my concerns. She gave me tips on my current routine and showed me products I was interested in. She did not push products on me at all and made me feel so comfortable that I fell asleep! I already recommended this place to my friends and purchased a 3 session pack! read more

Went in with my wife on a trip and really was blown away by the service, made me think twice about spa days . Would definitely recommend.

always a great facial at Ann + Sofia! they are both so knowledgeable and welcoming. Instant glow and healthier skin awaits!

I love coming here! The lobby and bathrooms are beautiful. My massage therapist and facialist was Ann, and she's amazing. I almost fell asleep on the table. And my skin looks and feels incredible. read more

Ann and Sofia offers the best services. From their Collagen facial to the CBD massages- I won't go anywhere else now that I've found them. The facials really have improved my skin texture and are complimented with a great neck massage. They also never try to upsell me. They offer an addition but if I don't want, they understand. The massages are also amazing and their package deals are really a great value. Thanks Ann and Sofia read more

Having read all of these positive reviews, I went ahead and booked a hydro facial with Jade. I arrived to a magical environment, very nice decor within the salon. Jade was extraordinary. She pointed out areas of my skin that could use improvement and gave me practical tips on what to do about it. I was so impressed that I bought a multi-treatment package at the end of the session. My skin has never looked better, I love Jade very much!! read more
