XU Natural Facial Rejuvenation Center

I purchased a croup on for xu rejuvenation facial. Then booked my appointment. Jenny who is the owner was very nice and friendly. She explained me every steps during the facial. Skin looks amazing and really rejuvenated after facial. Line reduced and my face lifted. I will recommend her to my all friends.

I’ve been seeing Jenny from XU Center for over a year now. My skin has significantly improved throughout this time — we have started with extractions; slowly we worked towards removing the sun spots with the radio frequency tool (which works AMAZINGLY, by the way, and makes my skin brighter and firmer). My skin looks so great thanks to Jenny that I rarely need a coverage/​foundation or a powder — and I am NOT one of the people with naturally perfect «porcelain» skin — far from that. I always pre-​pay my facials with Jenny in advance — that way, it’s possible to get a discounted rate for a really good service. I love Jenny’s massages as well.
I’ve read the comments of other people on this thread and can say a little bit about the location /​facility — yes, this is not a fancy posh spa, if that’s what you care about, but if you are looking to improve the condition of your Skin and look better, this is a place to come (also, the location is nice/​relaxing and neat/​clean, as well as the music will relax you).
I’ve also been buying day and night creams from Jenny and they have worked well for me.
All in all, I am Very happy with Jenny’s services and recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a one-​time high-​quality facial or cleansing, as well as for a longer process of improving their skin.
Just like many others, I first discovered Jenny via Groupon.

A gift from heaven. Truly, this was the most amazing facial because Jenny, XU’s resident aesthetician, both through and gentle, offered in what amounted to a 90 minute session – for $ 79 with this groupon offer, a deep cleansing with steam and extractions, exfoliation, toning, a deep massage method unlike any other I have ever experienced, a jade roller technique which literally, coupled with the face-​lifting, collagen-​stimulating massage ironed out the un-​botoxed furrows of my brow, and then some. A thick, luscious mask follows, complete with neck and hand/​arm massage. The machines in her office include an electro-​stimulator and an oxygen machine, used according to professional standards and correlating to specific skin type and needs.
I received a delicious cool oxygen blast, closing the pores, and plumping the skin. Jenny makes and has in-​store her own natural products which smell lovely. The whole experience embodies the name of the place XU (it is really all about You), Natural Facial Rejuvenation Center. I am so happy I met Jenny. This is a special price, as the rates are otherwise much more in keeping with the tourist neighborhood. Jenny is the angel of spring for all of us harried new yorkers with radiator-​simmered scaly skin. Get it together for spring: face forward-​jz

This place is someone’s apartment, transformed into a spa like place. I bought a groupon & I was taken back when I got there. The facial was OK nothing special the lady Jenny was very nice but I would not be returning.

The place is basically just a one bedroom apt so if you’re looking for a big salon experience, this is not for you. I decided to check it out after purchasing a $ 49 Groupon for a facial up to $ 150. Location is hard to find since there’s no signage on the outside so look for the big 850 number on the building, take the small elevator to the 4^th floor and wind left until you see a small sign on the door; no doorbell so knock.
The owner, Jenny, is super nice, very friendly and treats you in a dark room with soft music playing. You’ll be covered with a basic bathroom towel and a house blanket– definitely not «salon fancy» but serves its purpose.
I scheduled a microdermabrasion but after inspection she recommended a hydration mask and only did a partial microdermabrasion at my request to remove a few acne scars. She also asked about my diet and said my blackheads were from eating too much spicy food! She then spent time on extractions using only her fingers and not an extractor tool (not sure if this generates the same results) which left me with some red marks on my face. Lots of time spent on facial massage and the basic slathering on of various creams. When I left my skin looked oily/​dewey but I had red marks on my face from the extractions and the acne scars didn’t seem to look any better. Maybe it’ll look better in a few days?

I was running very late and was still welcomed kindly for my appointment. I have troubled skin with lots of blackheads so received the anti-​acne facial. After a cleanse, she spent the majority of the facial doing extractions, which was necessary but not pleasant of course. A few days later, a lot of my skin peeled off which has happened to me before after intense extractions. However, after that the results were phenomenal. It’s gotta get a little worse before it gets better and my skin is radiant now. Unfortunately she is too pricey for me to become a regular though.

First impression of Jenny was that she is really friendly and sets me in very nicely into the room. Going into the facial, she makes sure to explain what she was going to do and checked my skin before recommending what was best for me. At every step before the next, she would explain it and gently proceeded with much care, always making sure I was comfortable. The place may be a little small but cozy enough for a facial. I’d definitely recommend people trying Jenny out especially when there is a Groupon deal, why not give it a try?

I went here with a Groupon for the «Rejuvenation Facial» which was $ 79 instead of some regular option that was less. Jenny is not friendly. She has a very unwelcome attitude. I decided to look past her demeanor as long as the facial was fine. Not sure if the facial was any different than the one that was offered at a lower price because it didnt seem any special. She definitely pays attention to cleaning the face but product got into my eyes and was hurting me the entire time. She tried to pressure you to buy the $ 150 facial which is apparently a discount from the original price of $ 200. If I’m going to buy a $ 200 facial, it wont be inside a tiny carpeted makeshift studio. My face felt swollen and tender for the next three days from all the pressure she placed trying to clean my pores. I doubt that that’s a good thing. Take your money elsewhere, there is nothing that makes her services special or even worth the discounted Groupon price.

Great place, highly recommended!

The facility was clean and well kept. I purchased a living social deal for a Brazilian wax. Jenny did an excellent job at waxing. She used soft wax and it wasn’t as painful as I thought it would be. It only took Jenny about 15 minutes to remove the hair. It was quick and clean. After I decided to purchase the offer that she was promoting for another Brazilian. Thanks again Jenny :).

Jenny is a blackhead’s worst nightmare. Before seeing Jenny, I looked like a poppy-​seed bagel. Now, I look like a new man!

4 stars for Jenny, but I wasn’t happy with the result. She is really nice, not very communicative though. I wish she did microdermabrasion before extraction. I thought it was all included. So I was a bit disappointed at the place and with the result. It’s all itchy, red and burning.
There is one Japanese spa in queens which was the greatest place for skin care. I just can’t remember the name. So I am trying others out. None of them are as good as this place in queens.

She good take care my first facial my skin look glowing thanks for all did to my face

Not to detract from the great reviews for anti-​acne treatment, but my facial for dry, sensitive skin was a bust.
I came on an $ 89 Groupon valued at $ 200 for a process that included steam, extractions, electrical treatment, massage, a «ancient Chinese treatment» involving a hand tool and a hydrating mask. Jenny was diligent and friendly — at the outset.
Pros: The extractions were thorough and she spent lots of time on each step.
Cons: The extractions hurt and my face was a blotchy mess for several days. The ancient-​whatever tool, which felt like what you use to scrape batter out of a bowl, caused abrasions, though I didn’t realize it until later because of the other irritations. I also was allergic to an ingredient used in the massage, causing my eyes to turn red, my nose to run and still more skin irritation.
To be fair, Jenny has you fill out a form asking if you have allergies. I had none that I knew of until this treatment. And I feel stupid for not realizing it was an allergic reaction, but at the time mistook the runny nose for sinuses draining from message.
Because Jenny spent so much time and effort, I purchased a hydrating mask for $ 40. But when she offered a $ 150 deal on a future $ 200 treatment and I declined, saying I’d rather wait to judge the results, the vibe turned distinctly chilly.
Bottom line: This just isn’t the place for my kind of sensitive, mature skin. After 3 days, the t-​zone is very clean and clear. But the rest of the face is still recovering.

I bought a great deal (R$ 49) for a 60-​minute facial at Groupon, but I confess I wasn’t really expecting much.
I just need to say I was positively surprise with Jenny’s facial. She was very attentive and professional. She took time analyzing my skin and asked questions about products I use — gave great suggestions as to what to do differently to take better care of my skin (not only product wise, but food wise too).
I am very pleased and will definitely come back soon.
TIP. if you pay for your next session in advance you can get a good deal (U$ 100) — I strongly recommend.
:)

Was very pleased with the facial I received. Jenny really took the time to inspect every centimeter of my face. Gave me helpful tips. All the products smelt very nice. I already made an appointment to go back!

If you need an anti-​acne facial, do not hesitate to come here.
Jenny takes her time inspecting your skin. She will also ask what products you use on your skin and provide suggestions on what ingredients to look for in products. I’ve received extractions before from my dermatologist and he wasn’t nearly as thorough as Jenny; she found impurities that were well-​hidden underneath my skin. Usually after extractions, my skin is a splotchy mess. However, the organic products Jenny used reacted well with my sensitive skin. My boyfriend even commented how well-​balanced and clear my skin is since I visited Xu.
After the appointment, she offered a reduced price of $ 100 if I paid for the next facial that day. I definitely would have taken advantage of the offer if my schedule wasn’t all over the next month. There’s currently a $ 50 GroupOn for a 60-​minute facial at Xu; go grab it!
While this isn’t the most spa-​like setting, the facials are top-​notch quality. Will definitely be back when my face needs a rescue!

I purchased my facial through Groupon and it was great. Small salon but a relaxing environment. She was very professional and she takes her time to clean your face. She also does a little massage to arms and shoulders too which i thought was very comforting. She doesn’t talk much though. I recommend this place to everyone because my face is shining!

$ 150 for the anti acne –acial at regular price, $ 50 for the limited groupon price. The place felt more like a medical office, but I’m not sure how sterilized it is. I came immediately after her previous clients, and do not think the the sheets or towels were changed between each client. You undress your top for the facial because of the massage. She examines your skin to let you know what facials she recommends. Like others mentioned, I appreciated how I felt like Jenny spent more time on the extractions and was thorough, although it hurt a lot. The massage was not the best, as I regularly get deep tissue or acupressure, and it was neither. There was more focus on body and shoulder, and not facial massage which is what I would have preferred. For the regular price point, I think there are alternative nicer, pleasant establishments to get a facial.

Jenny is an absolute gem! She was so patient and waited for me as I got stuck in typical nyc traffic! The facial was absolutely amazing and my skin looked great! I bought another facial and will be going back next month!

She’s so nice.
I called to make an appointment the weekday of and she gave me on at 4:30pm.
But I got to the salon which is on the fourth floor at 2:45pm and called her.
She ran over and open the place just for me.
It was my first wax, I was a bit scared, but she talked me through it.
Organic Wax was used so you don’t have to deal with the chemicals.
I felt so relaxed even with hair being ripped from my skin.
It was over in 30 minutes.
She explains the aftercare of exfoliating and etc.
Don’t forget to tip her too.
Total was $ 30.

I originally bought the 60 min anti-​acne facial deal on Groupon for $ 50 and came again a second time because I was pleased with Jenny’s work and demeanor. She also gave me great skincare tips! The extractions were painful but my face was so smooth after the facials. The prices are normally around $ 150 per facial (depending on the facial) and Jenny gave me a $ 50 discount if I pre-​paid for future facials. I would only come back if I wanted to pamper or splurge on myself because the facials exceed my poor college student budget. But all in all, I had two very wonderful and relaxing experiences!
–Accepts credit/​debit cards
–Small office space but very clean and well-​maintained
–No parking so take MTA or cab it~!

I was here for a Brazilian wax deal I got from Lifebooker. The spa itself was dimly lit, very simple and very green (as in all the walls are painted green here). The treatment room was very spacious with soft spa music playing in the background. The wax Xu used was the traditional strip soft wax (I’m more used to the hard wax these days), but her technique made it one of the least painful soft wax I’ve had. She did blow on the wax to cool it before she applied it on me. Personally I didn’t mind, but I know some people find it unsanitary. Also, I couldn’t really tell if she double dipped or not. She didn’t clean up the stray hair/​ingrown after the wax, so I had quite a few that left behind. She offered to give me the same Lifebooker deal again ($ 25 instead of normal $ 60) if I paid the same day, but I turned it down because I wanted to see how my skin reacts after her wax.
Overall, a solid 4-​star waxing experience.
