Mandy Epley Skin Studio

Mandy is the best and great I love to come here for many years. Only this place for my skin care. Come check them out

So I (belatedly) signed up for Unilocal to review Mandy. I saw Mandy in NYC every six weeks for about four and a half years, until literally the day before she moved to New Orleans. She is a miracle worker and NYC suffered a huge loss when she moved. Mandy customizes every facial for every client, every time. She knew my skin inside and out, and changed up the facial every time to do exactly what was needed. My skin truly never looked better. I’d email her in advance of my facials, letting her know when I was coming back from a trip to a totally different climate, when I had a crazy month at work, and so on, and she took the time to tailor each and every facial to exactly what was going on. I absolutely loved never having to worry about diagnosing my own face in advance. Mandy truly is an expert and she loves what she does. Although she would never push a product on anyone, I was always grateful for her expertise about what I should use, and for her recommendations about hard to find brands, and I often sought her advice (and still implement it today). It also bears mentioning that while she is extremely high-​tech and thorough, I always left her facials with skin that I could take out with no makeup immediately afterwards (and she did peels on me every time). Finally, Mandy is an absolutely wonderful person, and it was an absolute pleasure to get to know her while she was in NYC. I can’t wait to visit her in NOLA, and cannot recommend her highly enough.

She’s very knowledgeable and supportive with getting your skin in check. My moderate-​severe acne is in it’s healing stages thanks to Mandy

Mandy is by far the BEST esthetician I have ever had. And I have had a LOT. She is a master when it comes to extractions, and she tailors each facial to the specific needs of you skin, which was extremely important for me, as I have very sensitive skin. I have never left her looking red and blotchy, but rather refreshed and glowing for weeks. She’s also incredibly warm and friendly. You will not regret seeing her — it’s always a wonderful experience. NYC misses you Mandy!

Mandy gave me an amazing experience. I have always been nervous about facials because I have fair and sensitive skin, but Mandy talked me through everything she was doing to my skin and put me at ease. At the beginning, Mandy asked many questions about my skin care routine and skin to provide the best results for my skin.
I had my facial after a long day of work, and left feeling fully relaxed. The best part is that since my facial, I have noticed immediate results in wrinkle reduction. I was also told that I don’t look old enough to have 3 kids! Worth every penny! I will definitely be returning for another facial in the future.

I’ve seen Mandy for about three years now, and my skin has never looked better. I get compliments all the time from friends about how my skin «glows.» I also have exacting standards and wouldn’t trust my skin to most folks. I’ve been burned before (and my skin has too!). But I know it’s in great hands with Mandy. The proof is in the results; no blemishes ever post facials, baby soft skin, and lasting results (at such a reasonable price). I’ve also learned so much from her about skincare. She’s truly invested in her clients for the long haul. She always promptly answers any follow-​up questions I have on email. Mandy is just great at what she does– and is also a sweetheart! I miss her. And oh how my skin misses her too.
New York City’s loss is New Orlean’s gain! Run to her. Your skin will thank you for it.

I had been living in New York city for a few years before I was finally able to find a facialist that I love! And when you find that great fit, it’s hard to let go. Mandy is a wonderful aesthetician whose technique will leave your skin feeling softer than ever and looking flawless — she really takes the time and energy to make the experience deeply relaxing and rejuvenating, and truly knows how to heal those problem spots. Best of all, Mandy is a pleasure to be around — a genuine and kind soul. I am sad to see her leave New York, but New Orleans should feel lucky to have her back!

I saw Mandy for maybe 2 – 3 years in NYC and she was wonderful. She’s very sweet and she knows her stuff. I always looked forward to her facials and my skin has improved vastly because of her treatments. Me and my face were so sad to see her go! However, my loss is your gain. Make an appointment with Mandy. She will take care of your skin and also teach you how to take care of it yourself.

Mandy is simply the best. Ever since I started seeing her (4 – 5 years ago), my skin has been better than ever. Her knowledge base is expansive whether it’s regimen, product recommendations, diet as it relates to skin health, anti-aging.the list goes on and on. With her expert advice and treatments, she can tackle any skin issue. Plus, she is a wonderful person with whom I truly enjoyed spending time.
Selfishly, I’m sad she is no longer in NYC but happy that she can share her talent with the city of New Orleans.

Best tailored facial I ever had! I love getting facials they are relaxing. This facial was relaxing but I also feel as though she is putting me on the path to healthier skin. I have relatively healthy skin, but it isn’t perfect and I believe she can help me to achieve healthier skin. Mandy is also great at extractions, virtual painless. I have had several facials and because my skin is not that bad this is the first time I ever had extractions during a facial. This is one of the many reasons that I think she is truly invested in the health and beauty of her clients. If you want real results I recommend this spa.

I found Mandy from her previous place where people raved about her online. I use to use tons of product from Sephora from my skin, after seeing Mandy constantly my skin had changed from her magic! Mandy is all about making your skin better with each visit and building a relationship with your skin. If you want a spa for actual spa treatments this is the place to be. If you want something for the perks like a steam room etc, this isn’t for you. I’ve been seeing her in NYC for about 4 years. My skin has change for the better. I had acne scarring and hyper-​pigmentation skin. Mandy knows her stuff, she knows what products to use for different type of skin and ethnicity and she is all about the ingredients for your facials and the things you use at home — she will ask you an extensive history about your skin, just to know your deal! She also does the Lumi light which makes a drastic improvement. Her facials are customize to what is going on with your skin at that moment, which are the best. In the end, she gives a killer massage on your neck and arms — as to not let your time go to waste. Mandy doesn’t try to sell you things like most places, if you ask she will recommend something. I bought this awesome acne/​sunscreen that’s so light weight and the prices are pretty much as the same as online. I love talking to her about my skin because I learn so much and I know she isn’t bs’ing me since some of the same things she says, I’ve read online. Mandy told me she wouldn’t want to work at a hotel spa, because they usually get one time customers. She’s all about seeing results and that’s something I can totally respect. As a tip, you have to be constant with her to see result, she’s frank and will tell you it doesn’t happen over night but us so worth it.

Mandy is wonderful– her facials will leave your skin feeling hydrated and looking clear and rejuvenated.
I started seeing Mandy back in 2011 and her treatments were always stellar. She knows how to customize your facial to target your exact need (s), especially as your skin changes (seasonally, aging, etc). Your treatment may involve extractions, LED or a peel. This really depends on what you need at that point in time.
I also appreciate that Mandy considers skincare from the inside out– she will ask a few questions on nutrition and habits which enable her to understand how lifestyle plays a role.
Mandy will help you understand how you can help your skin in between treatments– by using certain product, tweaking diet, drinking more water. This is all up to you, of course, and there is never any pressure to do anything that doesn’t work for you.
I suppose I will be taking some long weekend trips down to NoLa to get a facial!!!

Mandy is the very best Esty anyone could ask for, and while I’m beside myself that she’s left us in NYC, you are the luckiest to visit her in her new New Orleans set up!
Mandy has been handling me and my troubled skin for years and she’s the only thing that ever manages to get my skin under control and in shape to tackle whatever stressors are next … and she does it all in under 2 hours! She creates a tranquil and inviting environment, which sets the tone for you to decide if you’re looking for a quiet spa day or you’d rather chat, so it’s always comfortable and relaxed either way. She carefully consults you about your skin regimen at home and helps select the best custom masks and treatment plan for your personalized facial. Extractions are key for those of us with adult acne in particular, and I’ve slept through more than one session with her because she’s so gentle yet effective, and she definitely gets all the gunk out leaving skin clean and hydrated. Mandy offers suggestions for what you need to keep your skin healthy after your tailored facial or treatment. She is so knowledgeable and skilled she doesn’t need to sell you anything, so you can feel confident that what she shares with you is her professional opinion and advice, not some kind of sales pitch. She is hands down the best esthetician and she comes to you New Orleans with my highest recommendations.
Mandy is the esthetician you want pampering you and taking care of your skin!
#1 Esty
#Best facial

Let’s see, where do I begin? I met Mandy about three years ago when she was working at a high-​end Upper East Side spa. Coincidentally, I found her through a Unilocal review. To be honest, I was skeptical as the facials I’ve had in the past were rather damaging to my skin.
Over the past several years, I’ve battled adult acne. As you can imagine, it was pretty difficult to deal with and really impacted my self-​esteem. But then I met Mandy, and her skilled hands slowly but surely helped transform my skin.
I was truly astonished by her genuine kindness and attention to detail. She treated my skin with the utmost of care, explained every treatment and even provided me with tips to treat the skin from the inside out via diet and product recommendations.
Her facials are 100% tailored to her client, which I think sets her apart from other aestheticians. She uses quality products and has (from what I can tell) state-​of-​the-​art equipment. My treatments have included microdermabrasion, light therapy, extractions and others.
Without a doubt, these are the best facials I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been a repeat customer since my first appointment and followed her when she opened up her own business. Mandy really takes the time to get to know her clients, and many of them become friends. NYC misses Mandy dearly, but NOLA sure did get a gem. You will not be disappointed.

Mandy is absolutely amazing! Absolute best facial ever! I have a history of acne prone skin and after being under he care for years now I finally was able to get it under control. I saw results after my 1^st facial and it just kept getting better. Extractions are never fun but she does them efficiently and afterwards you get the absolute best facial massage that literally puts me in a trance every time. I always leave feeling very relaxed and feeling pretty! Besides being a great aesthetician she is just an all around good person, lovely to chat with and genuinely interested in the well being of her clients. I just can’t say enough good things… try her out you will immediately understand what I’m saying is true:) Jessica p.

Not only did I work with Mandy for over 6 years, I became her client after I saw the results all of her clients were experiencing. She tailors the facial for each and every person and it is never a one size fits all. Our skin constantly changes due to the aging process, hormones, stress, change in season and diet. Mandy is a plethora of information on these topics and takes them into consideration when with her clients. She uses products and equipment that deliver results and will quickly call out the products and things that simply do not work. How much money have we all spent on products and services that did not come through on their promises? You will never have worry about that at the Mandy Epley Skin Studio. I have seen what she has done for her clients and I have also experienced it. No need to look any further, just go see her!

I saw Mandy for almost four years at her spa in NYC, and I simply cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are serious about skincare, she is the real deal. As other reviewers have said, she performs highly customized facials, tailored precisely to what your skin needs at the moment, and she is always on the «up and up» on all the most effective treatments and products. Mandy set up a special treatment plan specifically in preparation for my wedding and my skin looked absolutely fabulous. More recently, Mandy has seen me through pregnancy and nursing and kept me feeling like myself with radiant skin throughout (all the while making sure my treatments were safe for baby). Every time I visit a makeup artist I get compliments on my skin, and I know that’s due to Mandy. If you want to see results, Mandy will deliver! But Mandy is also more than an excellent esthetician, she is also a dear friend. Mandy genuinely cares about her clients and will go above and beyond for you. She instantly puts you at ease and draws you into her circle. She is one-​of-​a-​kind, the BEST, and New York City already misses her!

I’ve been going to Mandy for a little over a year now and wholeheartedly agree with all the other reviewers:
1) She tailors her treatments to your skin. There’s no fancy menu of options, no buzz words… just the reassurance that she’s a professional, she knows what she’s doing, and she will customize the treatment based on what she sees and knows your skin needs.
2) The setting is everything you’d expect in a high end spa. A calming environment, soothing music, soft linens and robes… and most importantly, clean.
3) Mandy is truly a gem. Personable, friendly, a great listener…90 minutes with Mandy goes by way too fast!
4) Very reasonable pricing. No hard product sales pitches. She does carry product and will ask, but there’s not the pushiness you can often experience at other spas.
Sad to see Mandy leave NYC… Wishing her the best of luck in New Orleans. You all will love her!

I really can’t say enough good things about Mandy! I started seeing her about five years ago, and my skin was suffering. I had acne, scars and broke out very often. After seeing Mandy, my skin cleared up and my scars also faded away!
The wonderful results have honestly kept me coming back every month, and I have even recommended my mom and sister to her! There are certain things about Mandy specifically that make her exceptional and different from every other esthetician. For one, she never uses a «one size fits all» approach. Every single facial is customized to your skin and your needs, and I’ve had many different types of facials with her, depending on what my skin needed at the time. I always leave with glowing skin, and her extractions don’t even hurt.
She truly cares about all her clients, and recommends products that WORK (but she never pushes)! Her great personality has turned a lot of her clients into friends. I’m always in a great mood once I leave her, and I can’t stress how calm and relaxed I feel, knowing my skin is in great hands. She is truly a gem.

Mandy knows her clients and their skin well. She is professional and personable. She is always up on the latest treatments — but not trends — she uses what works. She quickly earned my loyalty in a new city by getting the RESULTS I wanted for my skin (significantly better than the many other spas and studios I tried) and with her great personality. She has kept my loyalty and kept my skin looking great for six years. Once, when a group of her friends got together, many were clients (a testament to her great personality) — and I could not believe the great skin that was in that room! We were all sharing how she improved or even transformed our skin and kept it at its best — do yourself a favor and see her.
