Face To Face Skin Care

This is my second time at face to face, and I am still beyond thrilled with my facial. This place is TRULY one of the best kept (not so secret) in Manhattan for sure. Agnes has done my facial twice now (first time cleaning facial, second time mini with an added peel).
The massage is worth the money alone! They really take their time and certainly do not skimp on anything.
Keep in mind you are most likely going to be in a communal room so it’s not super «spa» like — there could be some chatter. However, for the price you’re paying, it’s a really extreme value.

The 30 for 65 $ deal is only for facial. I got a massage here and the company refused to honor the voucher, despite the fact that it says nowhere on the voucher that it must be used for a facial. They were not flexible nor would they review the terms of the voucher after I showed it to them.
I also have a bruise on my back from the massage (which I only got bc I had a voucher in the first place).

I had a great facial with Aida. She very was attentive, polite and she walked me through each step of the process since I was a newbie. At first, I was concerned this treatment may not be suited for my ethnic group but after reading the reviews I figured why not. Well, let me tell you. it was one of the best facials I’ve had in a while. The massages, the cleaning, steam treatments, and even the extractions was great!!! I highly recommend this place as a go-​to for quality facials at a very reasonable price. Yes, you are in a room with others but honestly it didn’t both me one bit. There was little to no chatter between the staff and as stated Aida (hope I spelled it right) was very attentive. I purchased the Unilocal deal and saved $ 30 bucks! You really can’t beat the deal. The location was easy to find, clean and they didn’t haggle you to buy their products. I would definitely be going back. Thank you!!!

Excellent!!! Cleared all my pores. Even those tough black heads around my lips! The extraction pain was bearable a couple of pinches here and there but nothing like what I was expecting from the reviews I read here. Oh and the massage was so awesome!!! I plan to return every 2 months.

The facial was good but they really try to sell. I must have been asked 5 or 7 times to get something else. I am not a fan of that so won’t be coming back

Came here with my friend for a facial and I would say this place is an exceptional sweet spot in Chinatown if you want a simple cleansing. The place is not that big but it is definitely private enough. I loved the facial itself it was pretty relaxing. I also purchased a package of laser treatment as well.

I came in with the $ 30 for $ 60 Unilocal deal and ended up walking out with a membership. My aesthetician was Ann, she was very nice and made great suggestions according to my skin type and sold me on a few of their products as well. Ann did a really good job at extracting my pores although that was a super painful process for me. The place is pretty small and you don’t get your own room so that’s the only down side of it for me.

I know a good facial, and unfortunately the only noteworthy facial I’ve ever had was overseas in Jerusalem. Nothing else compares after you have a facial there, that is until you come to Face to Face Skin Care.
I arrived on time for an afternoon appointment with Coco, and was immediately greeted by a nice woman who took me to the back to change into a robe and then I was directed to the facial bed that I would lay in for the next 2.5 hours. Coco was finishing up another client, and told me she would be with me shortly. We started 15 minutes later, and my oh my, what a relaxing day it was.
You get massaged like never before including your arms and shoulders. I’ve never gotten my face massaged so nicely, and felt points on my face that I’ve never felt before. They do not skimp out on the massage either, this goes on for about 20 – 25 minutes.
Coco offered an upgrade to a peel for an additional $ 38 for my dry skin. I accepted the offer and although this felt great, it was just one mask that was on my face for 10 minutes, and then that was the upgrade. Compared to the rest of the work you are getting, it doesn’t make sense to charge for that much for such a small upgrade. Next time I will get the facial without the upgrade to see if it makes much of a difference.
Extractions: YES YES YES! Coco squeezed every single black head out of my face. It does hurt, but you will love it after. I hate places that will only do a few extractions and not do the entire face.
The best part was the final mask, it is a dense, molten-​like mask that dries on your face. I checked my phone before this mask was applied; 2:38pm, apparently I fell asleep because I woke up to Coco at 3:11pm removing the mask. AHMAZINGGGGG…
My skin is hydrated and just feels and looks wonderful. I wish we had places like this in Cleveland or Buffalo. I will be back the next time I’m in the city.
*** You should know that you are in a room with about 3 other people getting facials at the same time. There is a bit of chatter, and the employees also chat with each other. That doesn’t bother me, you nearly forget anyone else is there if you zone out. Also check out the Unilocal deal, $ 30 for $ 60 toward a facial. Great deal.***

I was late. Had to wait for about 15 but no biggie. Too excited about my first facial to get upset. Coco took good care of me. The extraction was semi painful but i dealt. (Similar to my foot tat but way less painful). I felt like she was a bit distracted by talking with her co workers but other than that I was ok. My face didn’t blotch although I did see a girl with serious red spots. I guess the benefits of being AA? Lol. My skin is still bright and soft like a baby. Can’t wait to to return.
Oh and I bought the Unilocal deal. Very helpful and easy.
She did offer two extras/​products but I defined. Wanted to see how my skin would react to their products.

I followed the advice from the other Unilocal reviews and decided to try it myself. This is your no frills facial. Do not go here if you are looking to be relaxed and pampered. Come here if you want a good facial with extractions for an absolute great price.
My facial was 1.5 hours for $ 30.00. You cannot beat that. I got a same day appointment for my friend and I with no problem. When you walk in the beds are laid out right next to one another. They also have a room so if you need privacy you can request it. They give you a towel robe to change into so you’re comfortable. They also wash your face thoroughly before starting.
I opted for the classic facial which starts with a ten minute mask followed by steam. Your face gets massaged in ways I never knew possible. They also massage your shoulders and neck incredibly strong. After the steam and mask they start with the blemish extraction. ** this part does hurt so beware** they literally extract all the dirt out of your pores. Once done they clean and seal it with some weird UV tool. ** this does not hurt** your face gets cleaned, massaged more and more shoulder massage! Lastly your face gets applied with a 20 minute mask. The mask was amazing!
When you finish your face isn’t automatically glowing. Keep in mind they just went to work and extracted all that nasty stuff. However, once you get home and the redness is gone your face is flowing. I highly recommend this spot.

Great spa! The prices are right where you would expect for good service.

This is by far the best facial I’ve gotten in NYC. I did the special they had on Unilocal.Coco helped me. She was able to do extractions without severely damaging my skin like many more expensive places have since I have a major blackhead problem. There was mild redness that completely disappeared a couple of hours later.

This place is super awesome, they know what they’re doing! Coco was great — I needed some major extractions, not fun but she did it like a champ. Yes, you will look a bit scary afterwards, that is what happens after you agitate your skin, hello.

I made an appointment for myself as well as my younger friend as a gift for her birthday and purchased the $ 30 Unilocal deal. I’ve been getting facials for years on and off and it was my friend’s first. Agnes was my esthetician and she did a fantastic job. She noticed my skin was dry and did sell me on the moisturizing mask above the standard facial, but my skin needed it. The facial massage put me to sleep; so relaxing.
The environment is clean and they play soothing music. Aside from the occasional chatter between staff, it’s very relaxing and I would definitely go again.

$ 30 facial for 1.5 hours of the hands down best facial in NYC, yes please! My skin is currently glowing after the facial. Ana was my esthetician and did a wonderful job! I was randomly having a spa day in Chinatown and decided to look up some reviews on Unilocal for a facial that wasn’t too expensive. Unilocal reviewers thank you because you were spot on about this place!
They were closing in an hour and I didn’t think they would have time but they welcomed me with open arms. Ana even stayed late and closed up after I left. That’s great customer service!
The facial itself started with a 10 minute mask, then came the steam. After she used a facial pore and pimple extraction tool to go to work on my face! I found out that these are also called a blemish extractor. She proceeded to clean my face some more, massage my neck, shoulders and face and lathered on a 20 minute refreshing and thick white mask. I was in facial heaven!
Yes, my face had some slight red marks after but not as bad as everyone else described. I was still able to go out that night and the next day. I didn’t have to run and hide out sunglasses and a hoodie in public. No thanks! I think it pretty much depends on how much work someone’s face needs. I have pretty clear skin and a pimple here and there, so this facial was just what I needed!
I would highly recommend this place! It was regularly $ 60 but with the deal you can purchase on the spot on the Unilocal page it came to $ 30 for first time customers. Check it out!

I found this place via Unilocal and have been going here for the last two years. The price is pretty much unbeatable. I’ve gone through a package, starting my second this month. The extractions do hurt – but I’m a fan of pain/​results.
One star off because I share similar concerns with other reviewers – my face sometimes breaks out worse after a facial. I don’t know how it works… but I think it’s because the extracted areas are sometimes not thorough enough. My post facial zits form where the extractions were attempted.
Tips:
— Do not come in with makeup, it slows the process.
— You will leave your facial red, spotted and shiny. I bring sunglasses and a hooded jacket to hide in after.
— Don’t wear makeup the next day.
— Schedule your appointment later or opt against any physical activities for the rest of the day… I usually try to stay out of NYC grime after my facials.

I absolutely love this place. I came here for the first time over a year ago with a Unilocal deal which was a big savings ($ 30 for a $ 60 facial for first time customers). I’ve returned to Face To Face numerous times since. They do an excellent job with extractions — it’s painful but worth it if you want clear pores or if like me, you have large pores that collect a lot of sebum. The ladies here take their time and on more than one occasion I’ve fallen asleep while they work their magic. The space is clean, they play serene music and chit chat is kept to a minimum. They really create a relaxing environment. I’ve been to a number of other Chinatown facial spots and this one stands out for sure. I’ll definitely keep coming back.

Super cool experience at Face To Face Skin Care. Got a Unilocal Coupon for a facial, it was very easy to set up an appointment that same week on a Saturday early afternoon.
Coco is the facialist who took care of me and did an amazing job. I arrived there at 1pm and was taken care of immediately. From scrubing to steaming to extraction — everything was done perfectly and with the greatest care. The treatment lasted 2 hours with a final mask that put me to sleep! The atmosphere is really relaxing, even if you’re next to other people getting facials, everyone is super calm and enjoying their treatments.
I was concerned at first since I have a very (very!) sensitive skin and get allergies all the time to new skincare that it would be risky but my skin has never felt softer and brighter than after this facial. No allergies, no discomfort, pure pleasure, relaxation and revitalized skin!

I’ll be honest. The facial here is not for the faint of heart.
This was my first big girl facial, complete with extractions. It’s been something that I, with my love of Biore strips and weird metal face tools you find at Target, had been meaning to do for quite some time but just never got around to.
The whole thing was pretty straightforward. I got the $ 30 Unilocal deal and that is some serious value for money. Yeah, you’re laid out in a room that holds three or four other little stations, but that didn’t bother me. I was there to take care of business, so what did a little loss of privacy bother me? There was only one other girl when I went anyways — midday, midweek. That’s probably the best time to go, if you can manage it. I’m not sure if this is standard during peak hours, but my esthetician was able to take her time with me. I was there for over three and a half hours, which I thought was pretty impressive!
My face was mega-​congested when I went in, considering I’ve gone 24 years without any professional interference. Since there was so much, the extractions took forever. And it hurt a LOT.
I was *horrified* when I looked in the mirror when I got up for a bathroom break post-​extractions/​pre-​calm down. My entire face was blotchy and stricken, almost as if someone had been poking at it with metal instruments for a few hours — oh. Wait.
My esthetician did a little more magic after the extractions to help calm it down, but I was still pretty blotchy when I left the salon. And the next day, I was a scabby, sad mess. But a few days afterward, I had the freshest skin since before the horrors of high school. It’s been a few weeks now and my complexion is still looking fantastic!
Would I recommend going if you have a hot date the following day? Absolutely not, unless you’re into the blotchy pin-​pricked look. But if you’re in dire need of a deep clean on the cheap and a high tolerance for pain, this would be my go-​to. I’m planning on going back in a month or two for another touch up. Hopefully my skin will be a little thicker then.

Holy extractions batman! I usually go for their packages, $ 168/​facials. $ 33 per facial. An unheard of deal anywhere in America. Nonetheless in NYC.
I’ve had a different person do a facial for me here each time and I truly have to say that each instance my facial was over 2 hours long. If you’re looking for the Disney approach of a facial (massage, masks, nice smelling oils, no pimple poppin’), don’t do a deep cleaning one (per reviews below). Everyone has a preference and don’t believe in certain types of extractions. For me I believe in: take. that. shit. out. And luckily Face 2 Face & I are both on the same page.
The deep cleansing facial are for those w/​problem areas that need addressing + above all have a high pain threshold. I love that even though my skin needs more TLC (thanks Adult Acne) they don’t charge me more and really just take their time. Agnes, my aesthetician even said to me, «if you can take the pain I can do more extractions for you», what an angel. I’m hoping that w/​new skin regimen I won’t have to endure such pain in the future but for now I’m grateful for these ladies. They’re light hearted, professional, and to top it off their facility is super clean. I wished they did more combo packages (skin/​back facials, etc.), but for now I’m super happy with what they currently offer.
Love Face To Face!
