I try to get a facial every few months and I've tried a ton of places around the city -- Pretty Please is one I'll be adding to my rotation and one I'll definitely recommend to friends. The space has a beautiful scent that puts you at ease as soon as you walk-in. I had a signature facial and it really set a new standard for a facial for me. The facial and upper body massage relaxes you, I can't imagine not having a facial with such a nice neck/shoulder/arm massage again. The products they use don't have a strong fragrance -- every detail was perfect. They do give product recommendations after the service but there's no pressure and it doesn't feel sales-y or uncomfortable the way it can at other salons. Highly recommend my facialist Amy! read more

I had my first facial with Anne today. Upon arrival, a pleasant smell hit me. Anne was very kind, asked me how my day was and offered me water. She went over some of my skin care history and current routine with me. The calming facial I received was refreshing. I felt cold things, hot things, a zappy thing, pinching thing, steam, and more. She also massaged my neck and hands. She gave me some great recommendations and I got a little eye treatment complimentary. I also appreciated that she wasn't pushy with the products and said I will email you what I recommend. My skin looks bright and clean. I also got some chocolate to take with me which was a nice touch. I will be back. Worth every penny. read more

Every part of my facial was perfect. Jennifer is a Master at what she does. Products are exceptional, massage was so soothing, no pushing products. The space is kind, soft and relaxing. Thankful to a neighbor who recommended Pretty Please and thankful to the universe that Jennifer is so talented at what she does. Highly recommend. Continued success to Pretty Please. read more

A perfect facial is difficult to come by. We all have our weird picky things, and if you get them frequently, you know each esthetician is going to have their own flair. But Jennifer will make your trek through 95+ degrees weather worth it for that level of nirvana you will reach during your most perfect magical hour with her. I have been to Korea for several hype facials, and I will say hands down my facial with Jennifer was the best experience ever. Specifically, I chose the Blueberry Detox Firming Facial (w/ Microcurrent & Peel), and it was pure bliss, and after 2.5 weeks I feel like my skin looks better than before our facial. There are crucial aspects of a facial that I personally look for. Calming vibes throughout my time, attention to detail in hygiene and product choice, level of care in the different services you may have chosen, and of course what your skin feels like right after and then after a week or two. Can I say, my skin felt amazing? I have had facials with these products before, but Jennifer's expert touch and skill is on a different level. She is a guru and especially with extractions. I am very much looking forward to seeing her again when I am back in the city, and I hope her business keeps flourishing. read more

I came here based on a friend's recommendation! My friend was treating me for my birthday and wow! It was such a good experience. Their intake process is comprehensive. It reminded me of a medical office with some of the questions they were asking but nothing too complicated. If anything I felt reassured that they knew what they were doing. My aesthetician analyzes my skin and then makes a recommendation on the type of treatment I should do. She recommended that I do something hydrating and a microdermabrasion. I opted to pay and extra $55 for that add on. Initially I didn't notice a difference but the next day my skin looked noticeably brighter so I would def do this again. Although online reviews say this is very temporary. Also they gave me a free sample of lactic acid to encourage me to use chemical exfoliants to renew my skin. I appreciated this! Highly recommend read more

Pretty Please - The ceiling - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

WORST SKINCARE PLACE IN NEW YORK...ABSOLUTELY AVOID AMY. I visited Pretty Please for a facial treatment. After reading a lot of reviews and seeing Jennifer's reels on Instagram, I was very excited about the visit and was looking forward to a pleasant experience. However, I must say I am very disappointed and unhappy about my experience. I initially wanted to book with Jennifer but when I called I was told that Jennifer was fully booked and that all staff performs treatment just like her. Amy was warm and kind at first, and I enjoyed our chit chat before the treatment started. I also liked the atmosphere and the vibe of Pretty Please very much, and felt very relaxed when I first walked in. However, when I lied down and she took a close look at my face, she informed me that I had a coldsore and asked me to reschedule the appointment. I told her that my coldsore had already healed based on what the doctor said and what she saw was a scar. Nevertheless, she said as long as she can see something on my face, there is a risk that she could be infected. I understood and respected the policy, and so I asked if we could do something else, such as a back facial, since I didn't want to waste her time. She agreed and we ended up doing the back facial. However, the experience was horrible. First, the treatment only lasted less than 30 minutes, even though she told me that the treatment would last for 1 hour. I understand that we had spent some time in the beginning trying to sort out the facial issue, but I'd appreciate it if she could tell me upfront that the treatment time would be reduced. Also, her hands were very cold and it was a bad experience to have cold hands constantly rubbing my back. The treatment itself was terrible; she basically applied different oils on my back with no skills whatsoever. When we ended the treatment in less than 30 minutes, she emphasized again how my coldsore could've caused a risk to her and her customers. I felt a bit uncomfortable that she had to keep mentioning this, given that I had already told her that I appreciate the situation and had switched to a different treatment so that I could still pay for her time and service. Furthermore, when they sent an automated email asking for feedback after the visit, I spent a long time expressing my concerns but no one ever got back to me. They clearly don't care about customer satisfaction (not when it's expressed privately). Overall, my experience was very bad because of the way she treated me. More importantly, the back facial was totally not worth the price based on what I described above. There are so many facial places in New York with much better customer service and expertise. I would definitely not recommend this place. read more

From the moment you enter the studio, the warm greeting, calming scents and relaxing atmosphere sets the tone for the service you are about to receive. My impeccable service was received from the lovely Jennifer Rasa. Her buttery soft hands, attention to detail and incredible products used left me on cloud 9 with a face and skin to match!! read more

Best facials is NYC! I was nervous about finding a new place after moving from California but they are wonderful. As soon as you enter it's warm and inviting which sets the tone for your facial. I usually get the signature facial which includes neck, shoulder, and arm massage which I love since majority of other places don't go past the neck. You will not regret coming here! read more

Superb experience. Just perfect in every sense- atmosphere, facial, lymphatic massage and excellent service. It's a weekend place to rejuvenate, feel fresh and regain your confidence. read more

Just had a life changing 75 minute facial with Alexis! From start to finish, every detail was exceptional. I haven't felt this relaxed form a facial in years. Will be a return customer 100%. Thank you Alexis! read more

I absolutely recommend getting a facial at Pretty Please. I always work with Michelle who is absolutely amazing but the other estheticians are great, because my friend and my teenage kids have also gotten facials here with others. The estheticians are very gentle, in their treatments as well as in their feedback/recommendations. The products are effective and smell really good, and the music is relaxing. Price is really reasonable.By far the best I have been to. read more

Really happy with my first visit here for my facial. Place was clean and comfortable. My esthetician Michelle did an amazing job, she was very attentive, and delicate doing my facial and extractions. No complaints will definitely be back again! read more

Hi Jennnifer, Your esthetician scratched me with her nails. She apologized and I didn't realize it was as bad as it was. We can talk more on the phone but she 100 percent scratched me, acknowledged it and moved on because I didn't want it to ruin my facial. I'm telling you, the next day I noticed it and it was from her nails. I can talk to her and she can lie to my face if she wants. It's not ok to say that I'm making this up because I know this happened and the scar is still thwre. I'm saying please please please make sure your estheticians are more careful. I know what happened and she knows it too because she apologized right away for scratching me. It hurt and I tried to ignore it but the next day when I noticed how big the scratch was, I wanted to address it here. Not ok for your business to say it was me scratching myself. read more

Pretty Please - Skin Care Near Me - New York, New York

Anne was my aesthetician during my NY trip and I was very grateful that I had her to take care of my sunburnt skin. I've been using Éminence for years which was the reason I chose Pretty Please. Anne examined my skin and immediately asked if I ate on a clean diet. That is Impressive! To me, a girl who gets her facial one a month for years , her holistic approach is beyond professional. I highly recommend Anne and Pretty Please read more

I just had another facial here this past weekend and I realized that I think I have been getting facials here for maybe 9 almost 10 years!! I have never ever desired getting a facial somewhere else in NYC. I consistently get the Clear It & Glow and I literally always leave GLOWING and any breakouts significantly less red and smaller in size. The service here is impeccable and the Eminence products used are the cherry on top. I have see many of their estheticians, but have more consistently seen Anne over the last couple of years. Anne is so gentle and kind and I would highly recommend her or any esthetician here. Jennifer the owner has also greeted me by name when I've seen her in the space even though I was not there to receive the service from her! The space is also beautiful. I love that I have been able to seem them go from their original space to the new expansion with a 3rd room. It is so calming, beautiful, and relaxing there. I figured it is about time for me to spread some love back to this business who have treated me so well and have provided top notch service. You will not regret getting a facial here!!! read more

I got the signature facial. It was a magical experience. I filled the client intake form and all my choices were respected 100%. Jennifer treated me with almost care and respect and even double checked everything before the treatment. I would 100% revisit and recommend strongly to my friends. There was no upselling or forcing me to buy products. Most importantly she didn't shame my skin concerns or say that something was bad. It was a peaceful and welcoming vibe. If you're looking for a treatment in New York give this place a try! read more

My facial at Pretty Please is incredible! Jennifer listens to my needs, recommends beneficial skin care routines, and is really sweet. I highly recommend Jennifer and this cozy space in flatiron. read more

Anne is one of the sweetest and most gentle souls I've ever met. My facial was so relaxing that I almost fell asleep. The extractions were painless and Anne gave me a few samples to try after the visit. Highly recommend!! read more

I had the triple layer facial one of their signature facials that includes microdermabrasion, micro-current, and a peel. I also threw in a few additional services (screenshot below of exactly what I got). What I asked for is exactly what I got. Sarah was my esthetician as Anne didn't have any availability. I felt like I was cheating on Anne, but I was assured they are one big happy family. Sarah was amazing. All of the estheticians have lovely skin which is a plus and very telling. They use Eminences skincare which is organic and gentle on the skin. The facial message was amazing and so was the upper body message. I didn't want my session to end, but all good things must come to an end read more

I've written a few reviews in the past for Pretty Please, but wanted to post a quick post-COVID update. It's been a few years since I've been there, but quality is still top notch. Still the same homey, warm, and friendly environment that it's always been. I was greeted back with so much excitement and I was so happy to be back! It's so lovely to see a business maintain its quality throughout the years and remember their clientele, even from many years ago. They still use their high quality Eminence products, and Jen maintained the same style of "nothing too aggressive" (they do extractions, but they don't force them out). I'm personally not a fan of being too aggressive with extractions, actives, etc, so I love that it's gentle enough while she took plenty of junk out of my more congested areas. I feel safe knowing that my face won't be damaged at the end of my facial. The place has always been very clean, so I had no doubts or concerns about walking in there. A nice touch is that they even leave you a bottle of water and a clean post-facial mask! Absolutely love that. It's these thoughtful touches and the wonderful people that keeps me going back. I forgot just how good this felt -- reminder to myself to continue booking appointments! read more

Overall, a refreshing experience. My skin felt clean and Natasha was pleasant. Two things on my wish list. This experience was a gift from my husband. I believe he went with the signature facial package. He paid $130 Back in Feb 2022 ( is 150$ as of this writing in May 2022) But my bill ended up being 190 with add ons. 1. A warmer blanket. Maybe an electric blanket to really keep warm? I was cold during the whole experience. It didn't make things miserable as I was still doing ok. But I just couldn't fully relax. 2. Natasha did her thing and made my skin feel fantastic. But I was waiting for the 15-20 minutes where they dim the lights and leave you there to just relax. I thought this was common practice as this is done at at the other facial spas I've frequented. Sadly, this 20 minutes did not happen. There is a small massage of the shoulders and arms though. Perhaps by ending right in the hour they are maximising the time and money they can make by having more clients in the day. But that 20 minutes of quiet would have been the " icing on my cake! " So the big question: would I come back? Yes, If I wanted something quick and on the dot. No, If I wanted a fully relaxing experience. Another thing: the reservation system Might have a glitch. So call and email to check Your reservation. I got a cancellation email AFTER I confirmed for my Feb 2022 appointment. Then, sometime in April 2022, I got an email from them saying I will be charged a cancellation fee because I didn't show up to an appointment. Problem is, I never made an appointment in April, didn't get any emails about it and never confirmed an April appointment. So, not sure what's going on there.. lesson time be learned : Call to confirm and don't rely on their online system to get it right. read more

Had a wonderful facial with Michelle! She was so friendly and warm and talked to me about my skin concerns. She was so gentle (even the extractions!) and the products she used all felt and smelled amazing! The whole salon is beautiful and calming, I can't wait to go back! read more

Michelle was amazing! I had a red eye flight and I was tired and my face was puffy. I would definitely recommend it and will go back there when I am in town again. Many thanks Michelle. read more

Have been there twice so far. Enjoyed the whole experience and my skin did feel more radiant and smooth after the facial therapy. Will be back, and hope this will become my go-to place for skincare. read more

Anne's hands are magical! The facials here are 10/10, so calming and enjoyable and Anne really takes her time to massage your face and clean your skin. Their approach to skincare is uber gentle, and this facial is an amazing way to clean your skin in a very soothing, private atmosphere. I've been going to so many different spas and trying so many different facials and the experience here has been in my top 3 for sure!!! read more

Omg absolutely heaven. Really a relaxing, soothing and wonderful facial. My only complaint is I would've liked more extractions. Feel like I left with some clogged pores still. But wow, it was heaven and I would go back again for sure. Loved it! Thanks so much! read more

I feel like I've been looking for this place since I moved to New York over 8 years ago. I love the Eminence brand. But last time I had a facial in New York at another location who use Eminence products, I came out looking bright red and that redness lasted for 4 or 5 days. Today with Natasha, I came out absolutely GLOWING. No redness at all. Just beautiful, healthy skin. So even though the last place used the same products as this one, the difference is in the skill of the team here at Pretty Please. Natasha is absolutely BRILLIANT. So knows skin, you can tell it's her passion. She listened carefully and treats your skin with sensitivity and care. And the results are way above any other facial I have ever had. I think it's very much a case of having someone who knows the products AND knows how to use them to the best effect. Eminence is my brand, I've used it for 10 years, but in the right hands the results are so much greater than I have ever experienced. This is my new favorite place and I will recommend it to everyone. read more

A couple of months ago, my hormones were all out of sync and I starting breaking out. I desperately searched a reliable spa on Yelp, and lucked out on Pretty Please! Anne is AMAZING. She is so sweet and personable, and her hands are like magic. I fell asleep both times I went because the experience is so relaxing. I opted for the signature facial for my first visit and added a peel for my second visit. My skin not only returned back to normal shortly thereafter but is brighter after just the two sessions. The spa is darling, and you definitely feel pampered. Bonus points for its close proximity to Patisserie Chanson, and you can pop over for a delicious pastry to end your perfect treat-yo-self day. read more

Pretty Please is pretty perfect! From the moment you get there until you walk out the door, it is a delight. The staff are all so friendly, and the space is lovely. I've now had two of the best facials ever here and look forward to many more! Elle is phenomenal but I'm sure they all are and the products are organic and amazing. A true gem in NYC. read more

Had my first ever facial experience at pretty please with Michelle and I absolutely loved it! My skin has never looked and felt better since living in the city. Considering the price, the service and skill + attention this is the best bang for your buck place in the city! Will be back!! read more

I had a fabulous facial today with Michelle! So relaxing and such high quality products, can't wait to be back again soon!

This post is long overdue; I've been coming to Pretty Please for over 7 years and have always received consistent quality care. Plus, my face looks fantastic, and I know it's because of Anne + Juliana! I've never been oversold on products, my face looks and feels naturally incredible, and Anne always leaves me with tips on continuing my at-home care for maximum results. They honestly love what they do and care deeply for their clients, that's very hard to find in NYC. I feel lucky to have found them. I find it hard to trust anyone else with my face. read more

I was new to New York with a regular esthetician back home. It is near impossible to find a good quality, not overpriced esthetician in New York. I hunted high and low to find THIS type of environment and service. I had my first appointment today with Jennifer, the owner, and I can not say enough WONDERFUL things. Jennifer is extremely personable and dedicated to finding a good regimen for your skin. She individualizes and personalizes skin treatments (and from my experience everyone's skin is different), was extremely gentle with extraction (I barely felt her despite everything she removed), and provided all of this in a quiet, relaxing environment. Jennifer radiates positivity and passion for skincare. Pretty Please is holistic and focuses on using natural and organic products ( Eminence, for those who know skin care lines) but also encourages incorporating a healthy lifestyle- avoiding food triggers and internal inflammation. As a nurse practitioner, I value people in health and wellness who understand that good skin goes deeper than the surface. In New York, I rarely use the word affordable and in skin care or beauty services I expect to pay a certain amount for good service-- but this is an incredible service for an extremely AFFORDABLE price. I originally purchased a deep cleansing treatment online and at the time of service, she DOWNSOLD me to a less expensive treatment (signature facial for 130$) by telling me I didn't need all of It (where in the world have you ever had that happen?! Let alone in New York! ). It just goes to show that her business is entirely about YOU and your skincare needs. Needless to say, I left feeling cleansed, relaxed , and confident with my future with Pretty Please and Jennifer. read more

I found Pretty Please three years ago and from the first visit, Jenn completely transformed my skin. Under her guidance and product recommendations, I have become a new woman. After surviving teen years without any skin issues, I developed unpredictable breakouts and hormonal acne in my 20s that left me completely frustrated, baffled, and tied to cakey makeup that barely hid the persistent pimples and scars. After just one facial, Jenn's magic already began to transform my skin. After three to six facials (that is, three to six months), I no longer stressed or even thought about unpredictable pimples popping up. Now, three years later, I barely use any makeup. My skin is glowing, healthy, and flawless, and it's all thanks to Jenn, her wonderful team, and her natural and holistic approach to skincare. Jenn has become much more than an esthetician to me--we've developed such a wonderful friendship and I truly look forward to seeing her every month. She cares deeply about all of her clients, and about what she does; to her it is not just a job, but a craft and calling. I will let no one but Jenn go near my skin. To everyone reading: run--don't walk--to Pretty Please. It will completely transform your life. read more

Michelle is amazing. Very professional and very sweet. Great 1 st experience this past Monday. Will definitely return
