Around 2-3 times per year, I visit KUR Skin Lab for a hydra-facial when my skin is in need of a…read moredeep clean and refresh. I have always appreciated the professionalism and cleanliness of KUR. Since it is a medical spa and they use high-end skincare products, I trust that the facials will leave my skin clean, soft and less inflamed, as opposed to other spas in NYC that can cause breakouts afterwards. Kristen preformed my recent hydra-facial, she was very communicative and understanding of my skin concerns. She tested my skin and really evaluated it with open transparency and kindness. The prices are pretty high, but knowing that the service quality and experience is consistent every time I go, I would suggest 2-3 times a year is well-justified.

I had always had great skin, but Kur Skin Lab restored its beauty and I'm so grateful. I started with the Chemical peel for the first two years, and these past couple years have been getting the Enhanced Microneedling. A week of downtime was required for this, but it was well worth it. The results are fantastic - it truly gives me glowing, youthful skin at almost 44. Thank you Kur for the welcoming and calming atmosphere you create!

Hands down the best massage I've ever had. "Why?" you ask…read more Buckle up. I ran in FLUSTERED. I was running late from work. Lukkana greeted me and told me to catch my breath. She set me up with some calming tea and brought me to a private changing area with a locker for my belongings. Everyone in the vicinity checked in to make sure I was doing ok. I was worried that because I had arrived late, I would eat up some of my massage time. No siree! They moved my massage to start when I was ready to begin. I booked the 90 minute Nuansa classic massage. You know how some places start the clock before you've sat down and finish the massage early (aka you pay for an hour and it's only about 45 minutes)? Well! That's not the case here! I got all 90 minutes of my massage. The massage itself: not to be believed. Lukkana started by saying "time to relax". And boy did I. Let me tell you one thing about me - I have the most ticklish legs of anyone I've ever met. Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well! Somehow, Lukkana was able to work the muscles in my leg without triggering my dainty ticklish reflexes. I was astonished! Then, you know how sometimes you ask for a firm touch and you get jelly hands? Or the other way around and you're walking out with bruises? WELL - Lukkana made me feel immensely relaxed WHILE ALSO really working the tissue. What a novelty. She finished up with a scalp massage, which is truly the way to my heart. 11 out of 10. Would recommend. Thank you so much for making my day.

There aren't many spas in the city that offer fire cupping, and I find that it works better than the air cupping. I absolutely recommend this place. 10/10! I've only had a massage/fire cupping, but I've had friends who swear by the reflexology and other services provided. I'm always so grateful for her for recommending this place to me.

I did a 60min deep tissue massage with Melody with an essential oil add on (not necessary), it was great and she was awesome. I think you can definitely do a regular Swedish and ask for hard pressure instead of paying extra for deep tissue. I recommend bringing cash to tip, so you're tipping for just the service vs tipping on top of the add-ons and on tax. With tip my service came out to $198, you can do cheaper massages elsewhere but you get what you pay for.

I don't say the aforementioned lightly since I used to manage a spa. What to know: the facial is very basic but thorough. You won't find any special facial treatments here beyond a mask upgrade. If you need more maintenance, this isn't the place for you. The space is dated but very clean. Think of it as more of a skin clinic than a spa and you'll be fine. I brought a friend here recently and she loved it as well. We are already planning our next one.

I did the $65 European facial which included some cleansing/face massage, 10 min steaming, quick extraction, two 10-min face masks, and then cleanup. You are left alone for the steaming and face masks. In between, there was lotion applied to my arms and a little of the upper back. Overall, felt like it was a relaxing experience in a very clean and professional environment. Most of the experience was having lotion applied or waiting for the mask to set - total work time on my face was 10 min. Is that supposed to be what happens during facials?? Elaine was my esthetician and was very courteous and communicated each step of what she was doing to keep me informed! At the end of the process, I was given a load of free samples!! Whoa!

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!

Like walmarts and k-marts, they want customers to do the work checking themselves, probably so they can save costs while squeezing more and more out of customers. What I find strange is why they still charge spa-like prices when you're not getting a spa-like feel anymore. Anyway, the customer service has gotten terrible so after 5 years of coming here I will never be returning. I never saw long-term results, but had enjoyed pretending!
