*Location Tip: If you're trying to locate this spot via Google Maps, make sure to note that this spa is located upstairs. I stumbled upon Karine Kazarian because of the Biologique Recherche line of products they offer. Although there hasn't been an issue with my current esthecian, I wanted to try a facial in New York along with the line of products. I first booked my appointment with Mariam, who happens to be Karine's daughter. She was super friendly and walked me through the entire process. She listened to my concerns and customized the deep cleansing facial for my skin. I was left with hydrated and clean skin. I knew I loved their service when I received multiple compliments on the second week from having my facial. Recently, I saw Sasha for the same deep cleansing facial as I was in desperate need of extractions. She took care of me and was gentle throughout the entire process. I truly feel like their is magic in these ladies hands and they are definitely worth checking out for anyone who wants to be pampered with good skin care products. read more

I have seen a handful of estheticians at Karine Kazarian over the past year and my experiences have been truly mixed. Some estheticians have been incredible (shoutout Aiza) and some haven't been as good. After my last few visits, I've been disappointed in the depth of the facials I've received and haven't felt that I've been getting my money's worth. The services are expensive (even for NYC) at $300+ with tip. After getting a cyst on my eyelid following my most recent facial, I think it's time for me to find another place for my facials in the city. Wish the treatments here weren't as costly; if the prices were a bit lower, I'd be more comfortable with the quality and depth of service. read more

The experience with Kariné was nothing short of spectacular. I have never experienced such a luxurious facial procure. I had the Buccal Massage for the first time and would recommend without hesitation. The service, location, and team are all wonderful. I left feeling new! Her vibe and energy make it thoroughly enjoyable. If you're thinking about it, don't hesitate! read more

Went in for a buccal + remodeling facial with Aiza. Cannot be more pleased with the service and results. She wasted no time, was hard at work on my face and neck for the full hour and a half. And not to forget the high end BR products. Skin feels glowing and face feels snatcheddd. Will definitely be returning!! read more

REMODELING FACIAL. 12/10 Book with Sasha - she is an absolute GEM and true professional at what she does. Everything about this spot is so perfect, genuine, and boutique. Can't say enough good things, just go and experience it for yourself!! read more

Karine is a master facialist and a wonderful person. The results from her facials are immediate and long lasting. She is an expert Biologique but does not push products. read more

The best saloon I've ever been to starting from the service provided up to the quality of products used during my facial. An amazing experience that makes you look young and beautiful! The quality of the service is the highest among the luxurious beauty service niche. The unique and personalized approach of the master towards her clients makes you feel like a queen during and after the treatment. In addition, I purchased my favorite cosmetics Biologique Recherche - the most high end products in the history of skin care and which are very hard to find in the city. Thank you Karine and Miriam for the best treatment ever! Your facials work magic! I'll definitely see you soon! read more

Everything from start to finish about this place is wonderful. The products have transformed my skin and the two facials I experienced with Whitney and Kasia were divine. Come for the people and experience, stay for the fabulous facial, and leave with all of the products. read more

If you want a real facial, one worth every penny, go see Karine Kazarian. It's a false economy to get some cheap or discounted facial that won't do much of anything for your skin. Invest a little bit more in the real deal, and your life will be forever changed. Karine is a real skincare guru, and it's an honor to be in her capable hands. Best facial ever. Karine is also great at answering any questions about your skin (and I had about 100 of them). She knows so much, and has such a rich depth of experience, that it's like getting a facial AND therapy at the same time. I appreciate her ability to tell me which parts of my skin can be improved and which parts will never change. She doesn't sell false hope but she does give practical guidance on how to have the best skin you possibly can. I've had facials all over the world, at some of the most revered and expensive spas on the planet. Karine is the best I've had. I hope to see her every four weeks for the rest of my life. (And yes, I pay full price. She's really that amazing.) read more

Great. They have transformed my skin. Because of my schedule I never see the same person but being on the BR regimen has saved my skin. It's expensive, but I find that I need to go less frequently (about every 7 weeks) so in the end it evens out. read more

Hands down, the best facial I have EVER had. From emailing to schedule my appointment to the moment I walked out the door, I had only positive experiences with Karine's employees. I had a facial this morning with Whitney, and it was nothing short of fabulous. I've had numerous facials in my life, and you can tell when someone knows what they are doing and has a gift for it -- and she does! She was extremely friendly, warm, professional and helpful. You could tell she wasn't just going through the motions and slapping things on my race. Whitney really takes care of your skin and considers your preferences while performing her "art." Since I really love and am interested in skincare, it was fun to have her explain everything to me throughout the treatment. It was such a relaxing experience, too. Afterward, she recommended a few products to me, but did not make me feel pressured to buy them (although I had to after the way she made my skin look and feel!) Next time I'm planning a trip to NYC, the first thing I'm doing is scheduling another appt here. It was just. that. good. If you want to be pampered and made to feel (and look!) like a million bucks, then this is the place for you! read more

By the time I filled out paperwork and I got changed, and then she spoke with me about my skin for a few minutes, and took a few minutes towards the end of prime moisture riser. The massage was probably 30 to 40 minutes, and book our part definitely did not last more than 10 minutes. Are.This is very overpriced. I received the 60 minute Buccal massage and she didn't use the full 60 minutes. By the time I filled out paperwork, got changed, and then spoke with her about my skin for a few minutes, and then towards the end took a few minutes to apply products. The massage was probably 30 to 40 minutes at most, and the buccal part definitely did not last more than 10 minutes. the cost was $250. Go elsewhere! read more

I just had the best facial of my life!!! Alina is a magic worker. Not only is she charming and lovely, she is incredibly knowledgeable and you feel beyond cared for in her ridiculously talented hands. I have been using BR products for a while, and have wanted to find the right place for facials and advice to go along with the products for just as long. I am happy to say I finally have. If you're looking for skill, expertise, and glowing skin, this is 100% the place. read more

Wonderful! Highly recommend Whitney for treatments! Excellent facility, products and service. The Biologique products made my skin feel incredible but it was the technician who set my facial experience apart from facials I've had. I had the Signature Facial with Whitney. She set me at ease as soon as I arrived. The facial massage Whitney used with the product made my tired NYC skin glow. read more

While living in LA for 10 years I bounced around to many of the top, top, TOP facialists (and even dermatologists) in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. After seeing Kariné for a Deep Cleansing Facial last week I've realized while many of the LA gurus were great, this was on a completely different level. Between her no-nonsense yet gentle and nurturing approach and the thorough explanation of my skin's strengths and weaknesses (no one else has ever nailed it quite like Kariné did) I knew that every single dollar was worth it and I had found my Fairy Skin Godmother. And that doesn't even include how Biologique Recherché has affected my life since..... P50 and Rebalancing Mask FOREVER. read more

Karine Kazarian and her team are truly experts in skin care. Being an avid lover of skin care, I am willing to pay top dollar for my skin looking amazing. Having Karine work on your skin is the most amazing experience in all of NYC. She takes time in looking at your skin type, your skin care regiment and of course your diet ( hydration, sugar/ sweets, etc...) While working on your skin, she precisely describes each step and product being used. The products used are all picked to match your skin type. After your facial, she guides you to the products that will best work with your skin so that you always have the skin that makes people WOW. I constantly get asked what can someone do to have skin like mine... SEE KARINE! There is no Groupon or Livingsocial deal out there that is worth ruining your skin for. Visite Karine and get world class service and skin! Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I had the deep cleansing facial. Great results! My skin is glowing, several shades brighter and feels amazing. They picked out the exact, individualized products just right for me. Very pleasant atmosphere, professional manner, and results, results, results! All around five stars, highly recommend. read more

I've never been one for facials, but I'm glad I made the decision to book one at Karine Kazarian's spa. (Mine was done by Kasia, who is excellent!) Truly the best facial I've ever gotten, in a peaceful and no-frills atmosphere. The staff recommended me the right Biologique Recherche products without trying to upsell me on anything I didn't need. My skin immediately felt cleaner, and has continued to improve in the weeks after my facial. I'm going back for a second one tomorrow! read more

Karine is the absolute best!!! She is so comforting and knowledgeable. My skin has dramatically changed from my first visit a few months ago. I followed the BR regimen that she suggested and my skin has completely changed- I did not know my skin could look and feel this good. I can now walk out the door with a bare face and feel confident within my own skin. So grateful to have found her and the BR skincare line! read more

This place has changed my skin for the better. I have sensitive skin. I also *used* to be bad eczema on my eyelids from all the chemicals in high end eye creams, but not with Biologique Recherche products! I want to emphasize that I have used lots of products, high end ones ($200+ etc) but nothing compares with my skin now. I've been going to Karine Kazarian for two years and my fine lines have all but disappeared. I definitely have sun damage but you would never know anymore! Yes this salon is great, but what has kept me coming back it the Biologique Recherche products. They are amazing! I don't need to use acne creams anymore, instead I use one of the serums/oils which works better than acne creams if you can believe it!! I don't use more than one face wash, I just use the ones hey recommended for me based on my skin type. My drawers of have used products have been thrown out and because of them I'm down to 5 products. I now get compliments on my skin all the time and people asking what I've had done - shocked to find out I've never had Botox or fillers - that my secret is I use Biologique Recherche products! Try it out! You don't regret it! Their facials are amazing as well - you leave with your skin glowing! read more

Wonderful! Karine and her team are super knowledgeable and the location is perfect. You don't need to go uptown anymore to get the best BR treatment. read more

Fabulous facials! And these products will change your skin! Both my daughter and myself have been to many estheticians. We count ourselves among the "experienced" when it comes to facials. Some places are average and some we just won't go back to. This particular place is QUALITY with warm and welcoming atmosphere too. my daughter suffers from acting, and they helped clear her skin. She went back to Chicago to try to find a facial place, and has been very unsatisfied. My daughter may be flying in once a month to New York just to receive facials from these women! Very few places are doing thorough extractions with quality results. Very pleased with the level of service, attentiveness, and follow-up! Highly highly recommend! read more

Karine is sincere, knows her product and the skin, and is a 'real' person. Meaning, this is not a place to go because other celebrities go there (which I know many do), but rather a place where you know they will take care of you, your skin, and are interested in you as a person and want to address your needs. The staff there are friendly, and its a family atmosphere that is highly professional. Calm, confident, and special. The product is exceptional of course, but the more imporatnt thing is that Kariine knows HOW to use it for optimal results. read more

A friend recommended me Karine and my high exceptions were met: Karine has magical hands, her talent and expertise combined with the highly effective Biologique Recherche treatments that she uses, makes it a perfect facial! Absolutely worth it! Thank you very much, my skin is still having this glow. read more

This is the best factual I have ever had. Old school skills in a fabulous setting. Forget the spa facials. Go to Karine, she has magical hands and knows her trait better than any other Facialist. And absolutely loved the nitrogen ending! Thank you!!! read more

happy to see this spot pop up in the area. they mostly use biologique recherché products which I'm OBSESSED with. went there to get a facial and the person attending me had a gentle hand. professional and clean. the chick at the desk is really nice and I didn't have to wait long to go to my room. read more

Karine is amazing and will help make your skin look the best it ever has! I've been going to Karine regularly for the past few months and am continually getting asked by everyone how my skin looks so great. She always makes herself available for her clients, is incredibly nice and sweet, and most importantly - is the best facialist I've found. Her services are worth every penny and I won't be going to anyone else! read more
