Tres Belle Petite Medispa

I am so happy I found this wonderful place in my neighborhood. Paula was amazing and I am so grateful. I loved everything about facial and treatment. I will be back often! We are so lucky to have such a caring and knowledge able and relaxing place in Brooklyn. Another reason to never leave for anything. :)

I wanted to pamper myself a bit for my birthday this year, so I went in for an everyday facial. I have to say, Paula did an amazing job, probably one of the best facials I’ve ever had.
To start, the environment is cozy and relaxing. Paula asked me about my skin, how it usually behaves and reacts, and really listened to my concerns about a couple of small scars and also the adult acne I’ve been battling recently.
When she started the facial, I instantly melted (exactly what I needed for a little pre-​birthday pampering). I especially enjoyed how, even though I was getting the basic facial, Paula used several high-​tech techniques that I’ve never been offered before — like the little neon light wand (not sure what it’s called?) to stimulate my skin. It tickled and definitely made a difference over other treatments I’ve had in the past.
Needless to say, I was more than satisfied. My skin was literally glowing when I got out and for several weeks after. Can’t wait to go back!

«Today, I will be giving you a Korean snail mucus facial.»
Nope, not the end of an unusual Grindr date. This quote was said to me by Paula, one of the great facial folks at Tres Belle. It was not my first time there, but it was certainly my first time having mucus of any sort smeared on me.
It really bears mentioning how knowledgeable the staff is there. I was asked what issues, challenges, and concerns I have with my skin before the facial even started. At my mention of «random blackheads» (which I would only say out loud at times of pure comfort), she began to speak. To be honest, I was sorta regretting my response, fearing a «sales pitch» was coming for a «special cream» I can only get there…
Surprise! Her recommendation was a $ 4 bottle of scrub that she said I can get at Duane Reade. Amaaaaazing. I really appreciated all of her customized-​for-​me tips and honest suggestions to continue my face care on my own after the facial.
And then there’s the aforementioned facial. Really just great. So relaxing, I almost dozed off. I felt fresh, rejuvenated, and (considering it partially consisted of snail mucus) CLEAN. The final stage of the facial was this ice cold… cold ball. (Sorry, not sure of facial tool terms.) Just a refreshing blast to close up my pores. I felt and looked weeks younger. Weeks!
Treat yo’self and check them out.
Disclaimer: No snails were harmed in the obtaining of the mucus. I asked.

I went here for the first time last week with my mother-​in-​law and am already hooked. The owner, Allison, greeted us at the door and couldn’t have been warmer (and really funny). We both got facials — hers was the Microcurrent Myolift, which she loved (and she looked amazingly glowy after.) Mine was a basic facial (and was anything but). The facialist was super gentle and even though she did some extractions, I had zero irritation or red marks afterward. The whole experience was so relaxing I pretty much passed out. That night I had an important event and heard more than once «your skin is glowing!» Mission accomplished.

Tres Belle has changed my life. I have gone to Tres Belle for over five years. My whole life I’ve been self-​conscious about body hair, and when I went the first time I was afraid the treatment wouldn’t work.
But Oksana has taken care of me from day one. I can’t begin to describe how Tres Belle has changed my life. They are absolutely result-​oriented and took such good care of me that I kept coming back to do my armpits, etc. If you are self-​conscious, the treatment is truly priceless (and already it’s extenely reasonable). Five years later I’m not afraid to show my body in any season, and for that I am eternally grateful to Oksana and her team.

Very conscientious business. Oksana highly recommended.

I simply called to know a little about the services and a woman answered the phone and was very rude!
She was just trying to rush me in for a consultation, not answering none of my questions and she said «I HAVE CLIENTS I HAVE TO ATTEND RIGHT NOW SO JUST COME IN FOR A CONSULTATION THATS HOW YOU GET TO KNOW ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL» lol I simply said ok no thanks if you don’t have time for me. SHE HUNG UP! Anyways, to get to the point that’s not a way to speak to a new client (any client) interested in your services !
Customer service 101 for her !

Want to know why this tiny Bond Street spa is known as a Brooklyn gem? Read this Q&A with owner Allison Tray:

I went for a light peel and normal facial and ended up with severe burns! And then the aesthetician said it was because I was using retin a which I told her several times I was NOT using. It was as if she could not believe she had made a mistake. I am truly horrified. STAY AWAY!

Great facials! Paula was knowledgeable and did a fantastic job. I ended up adding a custom facial on to the microcurrent facial I had originally booked, which was so relaxing and thorough. I would highly recommend this spa to anyone looking for skilled facials and plan to go back myself!

I began getting treatments from Oksana about two years ago, and it’s been a life-​changing experience. I see groupons ALL the time for hair removal, but I would not go anywhere else. I had gone other places before, and have the scar to prove it. Oksana is professional, caring, and very skilled. I have had the full series of treatments for my (cough) mustache, and it is NO MORE. I have had half the treatments for bikini, and WE ARE ALL VERY PLEASED (COUGH)
I would recommend her whole heartedly! She met with me first to determine the area and the full price. She gave me options, and she has gone above and beyond to make sure I’m satisfied.
The spa is clean, friendly, convenient and responsive.
Ladies, if you are still DEALING WITH REMOVAL OF HAIR, THERE, please do yourselves a GIANT favor — get it GONE! It makes everything SO MUCH BETTER!

Very mediocre facial. I got a custom facial on esthetician recommendation. Asked to do a deep cleaning. Face felt soft when I got home but no deep cleaning. Just a lot of product rubbed all over my face. Still a lot of black heads. Not worth 175.00.

I just had a facial here in preparation for my upcoming wedding, and I am so happy I did! I had the custom facial and peel, which is what they recommended. Paula was fantastic — very gentle and knowledgeable. I felt like I was in good hands. There’s no pushiness to buy products or services, which I really appreciate. I want to get facials all the time now! If only…

I have never had my skin burning like somebody threw acid on it and sizzle the way it did when Oksana did my laser hair removal treatment today. I was screaming in pain. She literally peeled off my skin. While I smelled my flesh burning, she even tried to justify that its a part of the treatment and when I requested to be a little gentle, she said she cant be gentle rather than apologizing. Its a big robbery guys, please dont ever go there. I have paid full amount in thousands so I am stuck. Its a Horrible place. Beware of it!!!

I’m two weeks away from my wedding and just had a facial with Paula. Amaaaaaaazing. Didn’t think a facial could be amazing.

It really doesn’t get any better. Paula is warm and friendly and offers professional advice and service is is proactive about what you need without being pushy.
Had a VIP peel. Wow, results amazing. Best find.

Carrie’s Brazilian wax is a revelation. On top of being pain-​free, I left smiling. It is quite the aphrodisiac! I will be returning for more!

I just had my first facial here and am thrilled with the results as well as with the entire experience. As soon as Carrie put her hands on my face I knew I was in for a great treatment. Not only is her technique excellent, I could actually feel the caring in her touch. I had the «Everyday Clean» facial, and it was far from everyday — and my skin looks and feels gorgeous.
One other item that totally cements my love for Tres Belle is the lack of any hard sell techniques. The last facial I had at a to-​remain-​nameless spot was completely spoiled by the aesthetician spending the entire time trying to talk me into signing up for multiple services and sell me every product she was using on me. Not so here AT ALL. Carrie mentioned only one product that she would recommend for me, and when it turned out they were completely out of samples, she and Allison made up a little cup of it special for me. I also specifically requested one other product (a great sunscreen). Result? You know I’ll be back!
In terms of the price, I wish there were a category somewhere between «moderate» and «pricey.» Tres Belle isn’t cheap, but it is a good value — you definitely get your money’s worth (and more).

Even though it’s been a while since I’d stopped going, I think I should update this review with the reason.
Without warning, after I’d gotten my usual facial and after my card was charged, I was told that they’d raised their prices.

Though I am generally squeamish about any sort of pain, and was told laser hair removal would feel like ‘daggers poking into my follicles,’ I must say my experience at Tres Belle Petite Medispa was very pleasant, even for a wuss like me.
Oxana was amazing. She made sure my treatment (laser underarm hair removal) was quick and generally painless, and even gave me a plush toy to squeeze when I felt uncomfortable. I would recommend this spa to anyone – they know what they’re doing, and they do it well.
Next time I plan to get bikini hair removal done. I have no worries or doubts they can handle the job.
