Pretty Please

I am so glad I found Pretty Please! I had services with both Anne and Juliana; both of them were so knowledgeable and gentle. My skin has never looked better! The products they use are all organic, which I’m all about :)
When I checked in for my first appointment, I met Jennifer, the owner. She was super sweet and really listened to my concerns prior to my appointment with Anne.
I would recommend Pretty Please to anyone who has any type of skin care issues, from mild to severe; or even if you have great skin already and just need an awesome facial or an immediate glow. Thank you!

I absolutely love this place. A cute and cozy place.
Anne is a doll! I love her! She is one of the most amazing aestheticians I have ever met. She tries to understand the type of skin you have and plans accordingly. My face has never looked so great, her extractions are literally pain free and doesn’t leave me with blotches of red skin or breakouts. The products used during the facial leaves my skin feeling luxurious. I highly recommend this place.
The owner Jen is such a nice person too, I met her the couple of times I have been there, she makes you feel very comfortable.
Eminence Product Line… what can I say! I am hooked. It feels amazing on my skin. I am currently using the moisturizer and am planning to but the face wash as well. A little goes a long way with this product.

I bought a lifebooker deal for a facial at pretty please back in spring 2012. I have to say that is the best deal I’ve ever got on lifebooker. I’ve been getting facial with Jenn every month since then and I always love the way my skin looks/​feels like. Jenn provides the best facial in the city. she is super sweet and cares about my skin. Facial experience has always been relaxing and nice.
The only issue with Jenn is that she is always booked super fast as soon as her calendar is open. I would highly recommended to book appointment at least 2 months in advance. I have a pretty fixed work/​life schedule so I usually book my facial appointment way in advance and move my other appointment around.
I’ve been in love with eminence products since I went to pretty please. They are all natural and organic. They seem pricey but they products last forever (one bottle of facial cleanser lasts more than 8 months for me). And Jenn knows what is the best product for you to keep your skin at the best condition in between facials.

I had such a great experience here. I emailed in because the calendar online had like no appointments. They answered very quickly and told me they had a cancellation for that evening so I booked it right away.
The space was easy to get to and so elegant. I love the care and attention to detail. I had such a great experience from the moment I walked in the door.
I had a signature facial with their all organic products. They have a non-​invasive extraction method which was good. Still kind of painful but no scarring or redness afterwards. My skin was just glowing and so happy.
Plus they gave me a free sample of a scrub to take home which was so nice. I immediately booked my next facial!

Love this place and Anne! I have been to so many other places and left with scars and bleeding covered by «it will go away in few days» but whenever I leave from Anne my skin breathes, feels light, clean and NO SCARS!
Anne has transformed my skin and has made me fall in love with it all over again.
Best kept secret!

Not quite sure what all the fuss is about. It wasn’t bad, it was just fine. I didn’t love the products or how my face felt afterwards. Maybe I’m missing something but it just didn’t work for me.

My skin had so many issues when I moved to this city. I needed a complete overhaul of my skincare regimen and Jennifer did the job! Not only does she do amazing facials and provides me with the best all natural products to keep my skin glowing in between facials, but she truly cares about your skin regimen and takes the time each session to talk about what you’ve been doing different in your routine what you’ve been eating in your diet to help you identify what might be the cause behind breakouts. So far, every session I’ve left with an absolute glow, and my skin is night and day with pretty please facials in my life! She cares so much about all of her customers she is so responsive via email and she loves her job and her customers!!! She even posts great skincare tips on their Instagram account of DIY facials you can do at home. Best facial I’ve ever gotten.

I am so beyond impressed with my experience at Pretty Please. From the moment I walked in, Juliana made me feel comfortable and welcome. The facial was SO relaxing and the extractions didn’t hurt one bit. The natural products she used all felt great on my skin and smelled wonderful! I already made an appointment for my next facial in 3 months and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you, Juliana, for an amazing facial!!! My skin never looked better.

Went for my first Pretty Please facial yesterday and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ve only had one other facial and that was over ten years ago (I guess it wasn’t very impressive considering I never went back). I have very sensitive skin, don’t wear make up or use cleansers and am very apprehensive about putting my sensitive skin in the hands of a stranger for fear of blotches, burns and irritations. But having just turned forty and feeling somewhat tired-​looking after summer traveling, I wanted to do something relaxing and good for myself and my face. In my search for a facialist, I only considered those using all natural products, hoping this would leave less chance for a bad reaction, and that is how I came across Pretty Please. So many rave reviews for Jennifer and the organic product line they use, Eminence. I was lucky enough to snag an appointment the same day– they are now open Saturdays– with Juliana (Jennifer is booked months in advance and is not taking on new clients). MAGICAL. Juliana is so sweet and gentle and I walked out of there feeling like I was floating on a cloud. Honestly, a more relaxing experience than any full body massage I have ever had. The room was dark and the music soft and relaxing. I told Juliana about how sensitive my skin is and she focused on calming products. Everything felt and smelled wonderful– no burning or tightness– and she massaged every muscle of my face with the perfect intensity. I had no idea how much tension I was holding in my face! She also gave an arm and neck massage and her extraction was thorough and painless, maybe 1 or 2 slight pinches. My husband met me afterward and I thought he was joking when he said I looked different, but I checked a mirror and I was (and still am!) glowing. My face looks plumped (as opposed to dehydrated), even and fresh, no redness in sight. Before I left, I booked an appointment for both my husband and I for next month. Can’t wait to go back. At the end of the facial Juliana put a lip balm on which I want to purchase. Lip balm is the only «cosmetic» I use and this was zesty and rich. I was also super impressed that there was no push at all to sell any products, which can take the pleasure out of a relaxing experience. I LOVE THIS PLACE!

I LOVE Pretty Please! It has changed my life. Seriously. Jennifer is AMAZING. And the eminence products they use are perfect. And I have sensitive skin so a lot of stuff is really NOT good for me but this stuff is gentle and organic all smells delicious and totally does the job.
Only thing is it’s sometimes really hard to get an appt with Jenn (I think she may not even be taking new clients these days) but I also had one with Anne once and that was excellent and I just had one with Juliana the other day and she’s really great, too. She massaged my face SO well, with the same technique Jennifer uses, flushed everything out, relaxed me so much that I practically fell asleep. It was heavenly. And my husband actually commented that my skin was «glowing» when I got home from my facial with Juliana. So any of the people who work there you can’t go wrong. It’s just a super solid place and they all really know what they are doing.

Best kept secret? Not for long. Jennifer gives the best facials. She has the perfect touch and exclusively uses Eminence products. If you’re not familiar with these products look it up.
She’s very professional and knowledgable about the skin. If you’re not sure what kind of facial to get just let her know what you’re concerned with and she will recommend what works best for you.
Having said that Jennifer never pushes you to purchase any products. Ever. If you’re interested in a product she will give you all the info but you never feel obligated to purchase anything. Which makes the entire experience less stressful. Highly recommended!

As an actor, I’m expected to have really good skin. That damn camera picks up everything. Only problem is I’ve been dealing with break outs off and on for the last 12 years. Thanks to my fellow Unilocalers I found the best esthetician in nyc! That’s right, I said the best.
Jennifer is a gem. She’s so sweet and genuinely cares about my skin. She actually took the time to go through my diet to see what could possibly be causing all these breakouts. I’ve had about 4 or 5 sessions by now and my skin is blemish free and glowing. She’s really gentle with extractions. My skin just feels really hydrated and clean. Friends and family are always asking me what the hell I’ve been doing.
Jennifer only uses products from one brand, Eminence. OMG! these products are worth every penny. I purchased the face wash, moisturizer, eye cream and exfoliant (yes, I almost dropped dead when I got the bill) but they last a really long time and my skin has done a total 180 since I started using them. I love that the products are organic and natural.
Last time I was there, Jennifer mentioned that she is no longer taking any new clients, but you could try begging and crying. Do whatever you can! One facial and you will see a difference in your skin.

Jennifer is amazing. I literally book her every month. She definitely knows what she’s doing. She uses all organic products. She’s very gentle with exfoliation. It really doesn’t hurt. I have a nice glow after a facial (no redness at all). Love my results every time. I’ve been to her about 4 times now and have several more appointments lined up. Her space is nice and cozy. Very relaxing and love the music she plays. Highly recommend her :)

Love this place, Jennifer is great, they use organic products, take care of you really well, can’t say enough good things about this place. I come here very often and I’m always happy with the results. Definitely would recommend to all my family and friends. Give them a try you won’t regret it.

Jennifer is the best esthetician I have ever been to and she truly offers an effective and relaxing experience based on your skin care needs. She has such a warm and friendly demeanor, yet it most professional. She takes time to learn about your needs and concerns and offers an education and friendly reminders of do’s and don’ts.
I had a wonderful facial and Jennifer mixed a «cocktail» of products to meet my specific needs related to some mild acne and rosacea. She is truly passionate about what she does and it shows! You don’t feel like she is in the field for the sake of having a business and I never felt like she was rushing to get through my appointment, which I often encounter in Manhattan. Jennifer is also very knowledgeable of the organic product line she recommends, but never once pushed the purchase of it with a hard sell. (A rarity, that I never experienced in all the spas I have been to either.)
Her office is very small, but she has it beautifully decorated in a very warm and inviting space and the suite is set up perfectly.
Highly recommend!

Not very impressed. I had a signature facial with jennifer. She is indeed very pleasant and knowledgeable. Overall it was a very relaxing experience. However do not come here if you have problematic skin and you want real extractions. I repeat DO NOT. It will be a waste of your money. I walked in with such high expectations for my skin and she did nothing except massage and layered on a few products. it is by far my biggest disappointment for I was expecting a very deep cleansing. Never again

It begins with the skincare line. And the one at Pretty Please is almost literally healing: organic, processed in Hungary, shipped direct to the spa. It’s also the reason that Jennifer, the owner, started her boutique.
After Anne used it with me and sent me home with some samples, I was sold. The day after she treated me I still didn’t have to wash my face, and the slight acne on my décolletage disappeared completely. This is coming from someone who’s used every kind of skincare product and moisturizer ranging from natural to synthetic to find something that really loves my skin. In the past couple of years alone that’s included Caudalie, Ren, m-​61 and even ReVive. The products at Pretty Please are better than all of them.
Of course the service was great, too. Anne was gentle and communicative about what she was doing but also let me rest silently when I wanted. She’s a believer in holistically treating the body, like I am, and it shows on her skin.

I have a problematic skin type with acne and I am very commited to caring to my skin. Unfortunately I have tried everything to improve it but nothing really worked to keep it under control.
It’s a cruel reality that once you’re at the age where the little things no longer irk you, your skin takes the opposite turn, turning red, irritated, and flaky at the slightest thing. It’s suddenly, well, sensitive!
I was kind of disappointed getting facials cause it didn’t really help my skin as much as I wanted to — it seems everything I tried either does not work or give me more acne .But thankfully I find Jennifer with her outstanding reviews on Unilocal .She is very talented and know exactly how to treat your skin .
So far I have done two facials combined with LED treatment which helps with scaring, fines lines and kill the bacteria that causes acne .I have never had a problem or negative reaction to any of her products –all organic by the way! It worked well for me improving my skin tone within two weeks and my acne breakouts.
Also I realize that using Jennifer organics products between facials has significantly reduced blackheads!
Jennifer –you are a true gem .You are definitely the best esthetician in Manhattan-​you are a valuable partner to help me treat acne:))).Thank you

I have had problematic skin my entire life, and Jennifer is seriously a miracle worker! I have been going to Jenn about once a month for the past 6 months and cannot believe the tremendous improvement in my overall complexion. For weeks after my facials everyone from friends to family to co-​workers comment how great my skin looks and how it is literally glowing.
The facials at Pretty Please are all organic and Jennifer does the most painless and gentle extractions. My skin is never red or irritated after my facials here, as they have been at many other places I have been to, but is completely free of black heads and vibrant.
The best part is you can tell Jennifer truly loves what she does, and really cares about getting your skin to look the best it possibly can! The organic products she has recommended to me have helped keep my skin calm and breakout free until the next time I can make it over to see her for another facial.
I recommend Jennifer to all of my friends, and seriously cannot say enough good things about her facials. I am so ecstatic I have found Pretty Please and will never go any place else!

I thought about not writing this review and keeping this place as secret as possible. But I’m not that selfish and they really deserve to be recognized for the great service. Although the building isn’t fancy, the space is clean and organized, with a more luxurious feel than I’d expect. Anne is magnificent! My skin still looks good 1 week after the facial, and I have an extremely oily and blackhead-​prone skin.
I love how she’s quiet during the treatment, so you can truly relax. It’s my «me» time. Products are great, service is great, online appointments are a *plus*, but the relaxing music she puts on — not your average birds or waves! -… man, that’s what I think makes the whole package. You’re just relaxing and listening to great music, while someone makes your skin looks good again. Can’t go wrong!
