Hands down best facial and beauty routine in NYC. I have been to several high end facialists in my 30 plus years of living in the city. Lidia and her team are a big step above. Extremely perosnalized facial with targeted producs that revive the skin, lift and revive the face. After over an hour of intense massage, hydrafacial, mask, more massage with fresh infusions, I looked years younger without a blemish. In addition, I also got a foot relexology by Simona, which was divine, not rushed and invigorating. Many thanks Great atmosphere overall, for those seeking quiet and privacy , an amazing place to feel like you ran away from the city. read more

I have been getting facials from Dorina at Maris Dusan for years! Thanks to my consistent facials with her my skin transformed. My skin used to be a huge insecurity prior to coming here and the confidence I now have is priceless. Today was my first visit since the pandemic and it was just as lovely as ever. She is wonderful and I highly recommend. read more

Dorina - man'o man can you clean a face. I've never had such thorough extractions in my life. She was definitely not afraid to get all the backed up toxins out..even giggled and rolled her eyes as a single tear rolled down my cheek (Pain is Gain) Yes I'm red but hopefully expecting a much clearer face in time. Oh and I forgot to mention, she swears by Aloe Vera gel..in her words slather it on 3/4 times per day. Best of all she was honest and made you feel like she was a long lost mother who was no nonsense yet still warm in her own special Romanian way! I will be returning. read more

Maris Dusan - Room - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

Got the acne facial with Renata yesterday and I am not happy. She spent a really long time, almost an entire hour, doing extractions. I should've known this was too much and should've asked her to stop, but I trusted she knew what she she was doing. Now my face is completely inflamed and I'm terrified not knowing how long this will last. I don't get regular facials, maybe once or twice a year ... but my face has NEVER looked like this after a facial. I'm so depressed right now ... read more

Maris Dusan - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

Just came back to my beloved Lidia for the first time since the pandemic. We reminisced about my picked and broken out skin from five years ago and giggled about the tough love she gave me in order to treat my skin routinely. Lidia knew it would take both a clinical and emotional effort to heal my skin. Today, I walk confidently and often get compliments on my bright and glowing complexion. I still go to Lidia at least every two months for facials and peels because I only trust her with my face! Lidia just gets it and you know that her work is done with care..because she truly does care! I felt extremely safe and relaxed in the quiet space. All Covid measures were taken and the spa is exceptionally clean! Supporting a small hardworking business like Maris dusan fills me with pride read more

I have seen Lidia on and off for years. She is truly the best in NYC! She is always warm and kind, and cleans my face like no other. It usually takes a day or 2 for my skin to heal after all the extractions, but then I have such a glow and my skin looks amazing. Always look forward to my next appointment! read more

I booked an oxygen facial and this was the best facial I had in my entire life ! Dorina was absolutely amazing ! I felt so pampered, so well taken care and so completely relaxed that it felt like I was walking on clouds by the time I had walked out. Most importantly, my skin was radiant and glowing ! She didn't try to sell me any products and actually complimented me on my skin saying I only need a few facials a year. What a lovely wonderful lady ! The facial was very relaxing - there is a lot of massage included and I almost fell asleep. Seriously, amazing experience ! read more

Got my eyelashes done here with Alina. Not sure if they offer that service anymore. Beautiful spa that's certainly on the pricier end of the scale read more

I found Maris Dusan through Gilt and have now gone to Dorina several times and plan to continue getting regular facials from her. I have normal to oily skin (dry in the winter) and have occasional break outs in the t-zone area, I always get a classic facial but it is customized to my skin each visit. Every time after an appointment, my skin is absolutely glowing and looks flawless. Dorina really takes her time and is very knowledgable about skincare, however, she never tries to push expensive products. I appreciate the time she spends on extractions and cleaning, and I never break out after one of her facials. I was planning to start coming monthly, but was told that every 6 weeks was fine - the honesty is refreshing and you can tell that this salon is about quality over quantity. If you are looking for a great esthetician, I could not provide a higher recommendation. read more

I have been getting my eyebrows waxed by Lidia for the past 18 years!!! She really cares about her clients and treats them like family. I tried a few other places when i was younger (the best of the best in NYC) but honestly nothing compares. She shaped my eyebrows the first time I came to her and I've been receiving compliments on them ever since. If you're hesitating over the price, don't. You get what you pay for and you won't regret it. read more

I used a gilt voucher and met with Dorina who kept on "oh boying" while she extracted my virgin facial face. Oh boy. She did great. I had no scars and my skin was bee u ti full for months. Lose one star for not being to afford more facials at a regular interval!!! read more

Do not book any appointments here. The owner is completely unhinged. I called her with plenty of notice to cancel an appointment (not that it's anyones business why, but I explained to her that I had an issue with my small child) and she went absolutely ballistic, berated me on the phone, and then proceeded to call me three times (I assume to continue berating me) and send me an aggressive text message telling me I am never welcome back. A totally unwell and unprofessional reaction to a client for simply canceling an appointment and not to mention, profusely apologizing for having to cancel last minute. ALSO, she claimed she has a cancellation policy if you cancel outside of a 10 hour window (lol, who has that kind of lead time... cancellations typically occur due to unforeseen circumstances, making a 10 hour notice impossible...). This "policy" was never explained to me when I booked the appointment, so beware -- she will also make up arbitrary "policies" on the spot. read more

Got a gilt coupon here and was really excited...until I went in. They are not friendly people here. The receptionist is very cold and doesn't seem to care. Renata was my facialist, and the minute I got on to the table she was critiquing my skin. She said I have rosacea...is she a dermatologist? I think not. I have a rosy complexion and never once was told by a dermatologist or anyone else that I had rosacea. At the end of the session she continued to tell me bad things about my skin. I was over it. She also said my name wrong the whole entire time. I didn't even bother correcting her. Will never go back. Facial 100% not worth the money. read more

What a great experience I had at Maris Dusan! Iolanda gave me a classic facial and I felt like a million bucks. She is thorough and very knowledgeable about the products and explained every step making my visit at Maris Dusan a unique experience. Highly recommended! Will definitely go back. read more

The first treatment I received at Maris Dusan with Lydia was absolutely amazing! It began with a phenomenal facial massage and steam. Her treatment room is so serene. It looks onto a garden w a brick wall, flowers and Ivy. Lydia's extractions are so thorough. It's hard to find that in one treatment with an esthetician generally. I've seen many. She then proceeded to give me microderm an infusion of various antioxidants. Within days my skin was smooth and glowing. My second treatment was equally excellent. Extractions were significant, she applied several masks at once and focused on pore tightening. My skin is smooth and clear. Pretty sure I'm hooked :) read more

I had a great time, and great experience! Everything was amazing and the stuff was very professional. The salon was very very clean. Definitely I will be back, highly recommend it read more

Maris Dusan - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

Dorina is my aesthetician here - she is amazingly thorough with her extractions, and while this process entails some pain, I'm glad she has a go-getter attitude about it since not all aestheticians do. Yes, it is pricey for the facials here but you do get what you pay for. Dorina's skincare method is simple: use a gentle cleanser, some peroxide/antibacterial, and lots of aloe vera. The only product she urged me to buy was a sulfur mask, because I "needed" it. It wasn't an upsell, but more so a strong recommendation and I definitely appreciated that. My skin has just been going nuts ever since I moved to Manhattan and not having a solid skincare routine has definitely caught up with me... but Dorina makes me feel like everything will be okay, and so far, my skin has steadily been improving since seeing her. read more

Such a great spot. I found Maris Dusan on the Goop app (always a good resource) and have had a great experience with owner Lidia. She's like a wonderful Eastern European mother. Makes you feel cared for & gently gives advice about skincare (& beyond!). I exclusively have her shape my brows - even if I cannot get to her for a long time as I don't live in NYC. read more

Without a doubt, the best facial I have ever received in my life. Dorina is a miracle worker who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. She's helped me tailor a morning/night skin regimen that has worked wonders. My skin's never looked better. I get a facial once a month and it often feels like my face has "lost weight" afterward due to the rigorous cleaning and attention to detail. I would recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a one-of-a-kind experience and needs a skin refresher. read more

M Faraz I been facial here 3 times is amazing result Lidia take care excellent I have skin problem with acne ,pimple and pores don't know how she did to me but my face look glowing I didn't recognize my self I'm sure will be back again read more

Have been going to Dorrina once a month for over a year for facials both the classic and HydroBlast facial and am always beyond pleased with the results. She is extremely knowledgable and thorough in her technique. My skin has never been so vibrant and healthy thanks to Dorrina. Have referred multiple friends for facials who have all been extremely happy with their treatments. They also carry a wonderful organic skincare line called Eminence which has been great for my sensitive skin. read more

This review is about my 1-hour classic facial experience not the effect on my skin. I got the facial from Reneta. She is really nice and gave me some suggestions about skin care. When she was doing the extractions, the lights bothered me a lot: it was so bright ! I had to ask Reneta for another piece of cloth to cover my eyes after a while. She has said that's how the lamp is and there is nothing else she can do about it. I felt like the lights were straight toward my eyes not my face ...I have been to this place and other places for facial before , nothing like this . I will wait for couple more days to see how my skin condition is. read more

Iolanda was great during my facial. She explained that I could not have a facial massage and instead I got a shoulder and arm massage! She really impressed me with her knowledge of skincare and intuition. I would recommend Maris Dusan to others. The only reason I gave 4 stars was for retail value - I find their prices are steep compared to their competition and their space isn't as beautiful as some others. read more

The BEST!! Lidia and her staff are unbelievable and I actually now look forward to my waxing appointments. Over the years I've had such bad experieces with waxing at other places that I thought I wasn't able to get it done anymore, but then I started seeing Lidia. When I tell you I actually fell asleep and took a NAP during a bikini wax, I'm not even kidding. Her technique is so painless, and the results are perfection. She also has such a wonderful presence and gives great advice. Do yourself a favor and book with her ASAP!! read more

DORINA!!! You are passionate and thorough from start to finish! I am completely impressed with the way my face looks after just one facial! I already booked my second one with Dorina in 6 weeks. You must go!!! read more

Wonderful facial. Lidia is a fabulous. She will personalize your facial to the clients special needs. A very personable human being who makes this experience very special. read more

The facial itself was decent. Dorina is thorough with the extraction process but you have to expect a blotchy face for a day or two and you'll have some acne scars.. Also, don't buy products that they insist for you to purchase because I found out that you can get the same product for a better price online. read more

Dorina from Maris Dusan has completely transformed my incredibly sensitive acne prone skin over the last two years. I've tried all different products over the years and dermatologists that just prescribed antibiotics and retinoids which resulted in irritated skin and cystic acne. After one session with Dorina I started to see incredible results. She takes her time with extractions and you leave with a squeaky clean face! After facials she advises on next steps to really maximize each visit. And will answer any and all questions you have. She has also recommended products and techniques (like microneedling) that have helped reduce pigmentation and acne scarring. These has done wonders for my skin. I would recommend this salon 100% - Dorina genuinely cares, is very skilled, and takes her craft seriously. read more

I booked 3 appointments with Renate on the phone. I went there today for my first appointment and they didn't have it on their book. It was clearly their mistake because the first appointment they wrote down for me on their book was only 10 days prior my next one. And we all know that two facials should be scheduled at least 3 weeks apart. The front desk kept telling me that I made a mistake about the appointment and she was not apologetic at all. She said "you didn't book appointment today, there is no one here to help you now. What can I do?" I said "not even an apology?" It wasn't easy for me to come all the way from upper west side to have this facial so I was very upset. Yet she refused to apology and simply repeated with very unfriendly voice "you don't have the appointment. You didn't book it through me. Your only option is to pick a date to come back". I said "I won't come back" and she said "ok" and just watched me leave m. It wasted at least two hours of my time and affected timing of my future facial appointments as well (I wanted to have 3 facials including a peel before my wedding in August now I can only have 2). I understand people make mistakes but the least you can do is to apology. This experience with the front desk is most outrageous and no customers should be treated this way. read more

Got my facial with Lidia. one of the best facials i've ever gotten. Lidia uses top of the line products, her technique for extractions is great. She assesses what skin needs and does what is necessary. combination of her great technique and top of the line products - amazing facial. Reason 4 stars: I cannot say she was very sweet, she didn't speak much and didn't give me an overview of what she is doing or what is best for my skin and what i should use home, things like that. Space: for the price they are charging for the facial - the place can be a little more welcoming, aka reception area. read more

This really is my favorite spa in New York. Their classic facial is in-cre-di-ble. It's thorough and feels great both during and immediately after.You'll leave the spa with an immediate glow. Expensive, but worth the splurge for great service. read more

This is not only the best facial in NYC, but probably the best facials in the USA!! I have been getting facials for 20 years- Lidia and her team are the absolute best in the industry. Highly skillful, caring and passionate what they do. If you are looking for a highly quality facial, with the utter most skilled professionals, I can highly recommend Maris Dusan!! read more

Iolanda is the best. I'm 29, have had adult acne for years now, and have been to countless spas and dermatologists for procedures. Iolanda is the most thorough I've ever had (she means business with the extractions!!!) I feel like my skin is finally clear and can start to heal. I couldn't recommend her more. read more

I found out about this place through Gilt city and I got a voucher for a classic facial..a lovely polish woman whose name is slipping my mind was wonderful. She spent a lot of time only on extractions which many spas find too tedious. She truly gave me a personalized facial and it was the best I've had..therefore, I will be returning. It is expensive but when you consider the service and location...it should be expected. read more

Amazing place for waxing and facials! A bit pricey but you get what you pay for!

Alina! She is the best, professional, caring and very detailed. She tells you what you skin needs and takes her time with the facial treatment. read more

Amazing facial!! I booked the Classic facial after buying a deal on Gilt, and was really impressed. I have problem pores, and the lady spent a lot of time with steam and extractions. This is a great place, and not just one of those salons that will put masques on your face and give you a boring massage. They really know skin care! read more

When 5 stars are not enough... I've decided to travel to New York for my bday this year so I quickly booked 2 nights in the city that never sleeps. It was time for a break from all the work and rutine and also time to relax and enjoy all the treats possible.My best friend got me a gift certificate for this place on Christmas ,so perfect time to use it now! And what a blast! Iolanda really made my day! I had the best facial ever and although I get to this city for fun, I really have to admit that I am looking forward to come back for our next appointment. She is the most knowledgeable esthetician I've seen, she really took her time with me, she listened to all my questions and advised me accordinlgy and I could not be happier with the service I recieved. I left with a beautiful glow and I could not thank her enough! I positively adore Iolanda personally and professionally! The place is a hidden gem! Give it a try and you will get the best of Manhattan! Thank you, Iolanda!!! read more

Renata was amazing. Rejuvenated my skin in a little over an hour. She was super attentive and skilled - great service that was worth every penny! read more

My friend and I found Maris Dusan through Gilt City and we are so glad we did! I have been to Lolanda twice now and couldn't recommend her more. I have some adult acne and with my olive complexion the scarring is a problem. Lolanda safely extracts every and anything on the face. I am so grateful that she spent extra time to ensure that everything was extracted. My skin was beautiful, smooth and glowing after both facials. I highly recommend Lolanda, as she is extremely thorough and also very sweet! read more
