Damselfly Skincare

She is the Best !

This place is everything that customer service and skincare should be. I went yesterday for a facial and after getting a bit early was handled with professionalism and care. Damsel was so sweet and realize she made a light booking error, she IMMEDIATELY let both of us know we would be taken care of. I had the longer service and arrived early, so I would be getting services after. She took her time but was efficient with the client before me and then checked on me periodically.
When my service started I was so thrilled with her work. Her massage techniques and methods for opening the pores were soothing and felt amazing. The products she used (all hers) were all natural and smell divine. She talked to me about my reason for visiting, issues, history and goals so we could get on a productive path to great skin. At the end of this, she suggested an upkeep regimen and in her sweet and professional manner, sent me on my way.
I’ll be back! Thanks Damselfly!

I’ve been to Damsel three times now and feel a review is overdue! I have received great service every time! My first visit was to get eyelash extensions, It was my first time getting them and I had about an hour and a few mins to do them because I had to get to the airport for a flight. Damsel was able to get them done quickly and being the perfectionist that she is, they came out amazing. On my second visit, I opted for shorter extensions, Damsel knew just what to do and worked her magic, an hour and a half later (after a short nap on her table), I had beautiful, natural-​looking lashes.
On my third visit, I got the deep facial (60mins) and the entire experience was wonderful and relaxing. She was gentle with her extractions but meticulous. The products felt wonderful on my skin and my skin looked great after I left. A couple of days later and my skin still feels great and looks very smooth. I’ll definitely be adding facials at Damselfly to my skincare regimen.

Soooo happy this wonderful little oasis is right around the corner! Damsel is lovely and original, and does a beautiful job. Such a relaxing vibe. I got waxing done-​thorough and not painful. Love my brows. I can’t wait to try the line of in-​house beauty products!

The first time I went here I swore up and down to myself that I’d write a review — time to make amends. I’ve been here twice now and I absolutely love it. First, the place manages to strike this perfect balance between luxe, earthy and cozy. Almost like you’re heading to a friend’s place that happens to be a spa, and Damsel is so welcoming and great at what she does. After I laid down on the comfiest ever waxing bed (I could’ve taken a nap), she made my brows look like freaking GOLD. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

Being that this was my first Brazilian wax, I did not know what to expect. To my pleasant surprise, Damsel was warm and made what could have been a painful and awkward experience very comfortable! She is truly a lovely person. Also, the shop is super cute and clean.
Okay, so for the wax, it was not the least painful experience I’ve ever had, but she talked me through every step. She helped me deal with the anticipation, encouraged me to breathe, advised against tensing up! I’m so thankful that this was my first experience. I will definitely be back for eyelashes, a facial — and even another Brazilian. Thank you for your service, Damsel!

I do like this place. It’s very neat, clean, and decorated nicely. Damsel is nice herself, friendly and funny. I’m a regular after a co-​worker recommended her to me. I also like her natural skincare approach, but only book with her for waxing which is a must. I will never go back to that guy on th corner from my house lol. I think I can trust her for all my waxing needs as well as new natural skincare once I finish what I currently have.

Today was my first day at Damselfly and it most definitely won’t be my last! I love love LOVEEEE! This place it nice, very clean, cozy and smells amazing. Damselfly is so professional she walked me thru every step as she was doing my lashes, and told me how to keep them maintained. She’s was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I also love the fact that it’s not commercial, it’s private and not a hangout spot. Can’t wait till my next appointment, trust and believe me you won’t be disappointed.

Oh wow!!! I have never wrote a review before but today is must!!! I walked into this very quaint and welcoming salon in the middle of Nostrand Ave. I had enough of having my once thick eye brows, waxed and thinned out to death. I received professionalism, help and serenity all in this place. I feel blessed to have had this experience today. I will be coming back here for as long as I can.
If you are looking for expertise and are tired of the crap you are currently dealing with, please visit this place.

Went to Damsel for a brazilian wax and it was honestly the least painful and fastest brazilian I ever had. Perfect result. That the place is nice, clean and the straff friendly was even an extra plus! I highly recommend this place.

Today was my first visit at Damselfly’s charming little spot on Nostrand. I simply couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant, caring, lovely, and professional experience.
Though I came prepared to suffer a rough post-​winter full-​leg waxing, Damselfly did her magic and performed a nearly painless and flawless treatment. She was kind and sensitive, and offered to use a special spray to numb the pain (containing natural ingredients only). This worked amazing and I barely felt a thing!
It gets better: to sooth my skin after waxing each leg Damselfly generously applied a wonderful Jojoba-​Lavender body oil that she manufactures herself — leaving my skin feeling smooth, calm, and blissful. Damselfly is a perfectionist and this was the final touch — an especially scentful extra mile. Actually, also the cute interior and serene vibes, the good music, and the friendly conversation are all extra miles that make this place so excellent. I highly recommend it.
Thank you Damselfly for making me feel so wonderful!

3 weeks later I still have a good amount of lashes. People keep stopping me and asking what mascara I am using lol.
I have never EVER had lash extensions last this long AND still look great!
I highly recommended you give this place a try if you are looking for top notch long lasting eyelashe extensions. You will not be disappointed!
I am so happy I found this place! Get going

Donna keeps my brows pretty! Thanks little sister! And her calming products are lovely as well!

Damselfly is lovely. I made an appointment today for my eyebrows, and everything was on point. The eyebrows, the atmosphere, the house made products she uses, and her overall fabulous self. I will definitely be a regular, and can’t wait to try her other services.

I’m a long time customer of Donna’s and I have been going to Damselfly since she opened to get the eyebrow shaping service but yesterday was my first time getting a facial and wax and of course eyebrow shaping. The service was amazing as always, the atmosphere was warm and inviting inside but as you walk by its very inviting from the outside. Donna is such a lovely person and we have a great time and did I say I travel all the way from the Bronx just to get her lovely services. Thank You Donna you are a GEM.

I have been getting my eyelashes done for years. I have been particularly picky on the places where I get them done. So needless to say since I moved to nyc 2.5 years ago I have been «au naturale». Low and behold in my own neighborhood was an eyelash angel! Damsel is not only an artist but an engaging, customer service queen. It was a very relaxing setting and I was the center of her attention. My eyelashes are AMAZINGLY! They are bold and dramatic (just the way I asked them to be). The whole experience was wonderful. Damsel has definitely gained a regular customer. I’ll recommend her at every turn!

I am so lucky to live so close to the oasis that is Damselfly! Seriously, I have been curious to try a Brazilian wax for countless years. Even went into places that provided the service and just never went through with it… until I stepped foot inside Damselfly.
I went with friends to get a facial, and that experience not only left my skin so happy and clean and radiant, but I felt so comfortable in the healing environment. So I made an appointment to get my very first «down there» wax at Damselfly. Full Brazilian. Sure, it hurt a little — it’s a Brazilian!, but I was put at ease with some guided breathing and Sade playing in the background. I’m so glad I waited for the right place and the right person! I now have a standing monthly waxing appointment. I highly recommend!

I was terrified of getting lashes because I have seen what they can look like when they are done incorrectly, however I have trusted Donna in the past to do my brows, makeup, and facials and knew she would not steer me wrong.
I was RIGHT, Donna does FABULOUS lashes! Donna takes her time, is consistent, and should be proud of her work. I fall asleep during the process which lasts about 50 min. My lashes look very natural with a pop of wow. I thought that I would only do them once, to go on vacation, but my boyfriend liked them so much he asked me to keep them. They feel like they are my very own. I can shower and go to the beach w/​o worry. I always get so many compliments on how natural they look. Thanks Donna, I’ll be back in 3 weeks ;)

I’m new to the neighbourhood, and in constant search of such inevitable things as waxing that must be done with care and attention. Donna is the only person whom I trust in such a delicate matter. She also handled my brow shape with ease and professionalism. The place itself is neat and lovely.

*Disclaimer*, this review is via my Wife. Im not into the «pampering process» so to speak, but I’m more than happy that this business exist in our neighborhood.
The Wife: Donna is fabulous! I love her energy, attention to detail and the care she puts into her product development, ambiance and services. Today was my first time purchasing her eyebrow service and I fell in love. Not only does Donna hook you up proper with her clippers (instead of the usual waxing, threading or tweezing you get at the nail shop or other sub-​par establishments that claim to do eyebrows), she added a little extra oomph by filling in the brows and adding complimentary basic make-​up. Her 20+ years of make-​up artistry makes her extremely knowledgable about what she does and her body, facial and bath products smell heavenly. We purchased her cocoa mango and cocoa rose hand-​cut soaps and we can’t wait to try them. I’m looking forward to getting a facial done soon! Thanks Donna!
