Venus Esthetics

Wow, great facial! Suki was my Therapist. Place is clean and comfortable. Front desk area fair, back of salon nice. Used a Groupon, great deal.

I really enjoy going to this place to get a facial and a massage. I try and go there at least once a month. Since I purchase the package through Groupon, I find the price to be reasonable, way better than those other over priced spas that I have been to. It’s where I go to relax. The whole staff, to my experience, has been great. NO complaints whatsoever. Highly recommended.

My experience at this place was an absolute nightmare. It looks nice and decent, but the staff is not professional. I do not think the people that work there are certified massage therapists. Throughout the entire hour I had to keep telling the woman that she was hurting me because she was applying way too much pressure. She would say sorry, but then keep doing the same exact thing. At one point she even used her elbow in my shoulder blade. She was pulling on my neck, slapping my legs, it was the most uncomfortable experience, not relaxing at all. IT WAS NOT EVEN WORTH THE $ 40 I PAID IN THE GROUPON. I told the staff that when this horrible «massage» was finally over with. They seemed shocked. I do not understand that because there are SOOO many other negative reviews about this place. When i went home i was in worse shape then before hand. My neck and back were all messed up and i was home with a heating pad on my back for the next two days. STAY AWAY!!!

I went here to have my eyelashes dyed because I have very fair skin so without makeup I always look tired. Had my eyelashes done did not see any results the next day. Called to explain to them that there was no color on my eyelashes. Went back in to redo them the following day and the Women tried to charge me again, even after I explained why I was there to begin with. When I checked them that night no color. What a joke.
Do not waste for time and money. Another thing the worker pretended she didn’t understand, of course she did it was the same girl who did my eyelashes the day before. Duh!

Got this groupon as a gift for a massage and facial. There is a reason why the prices are steep at the higher end places as they offer zen rooms, warm towels and a calm, quiet environment. I didn’t care for the massage at all; in fact it hurt most of the time and still hurts today. Minimal time spent on the neck and shoulders and the do that slapping thing like they do when you are getting a pedicure. I agree, I am not so sure that they are certified. The facial was slightly better.

I love this place. The lady who works there is so sweet and they have great prices and do a great job on the services that I went to them for. Highly recommend. Much nicer than other «fancy» overpriced salons I’ve been to in the city.

i went here for a groupon massage and facial a few months back and i liked it so much i am going again tomorrow! the massage was perfect and my facial glorious. the girls really do a great job. i am only giving it 3 stars though because while it is exceptionally clean and comfortable, it isn’t a luxury spa. so just don’t go in there expecting to be at elizabeth arden. however if you can get over how it looks from the outside it is WELL worth it.

Wonderful spa, professional, clean, relaxing, and such a great value! I would recommend this spa to anyone, it’s a best kept secret, don’t be fooled by the storefront (you’d never notice it from the street) but the spa itself is fantastic.

I came here for the lipo laser treatment I purchased from groupon. I have been here now six times and have to say I don’t see a difference on my stomach area. The lipo laser is suppose to melt the fat and tighten your skin. I have done lipo laser at another location where he used a wand which I must say got very hot at times but after the treatment I did see results right away. The treatment here they place these metal plates on your stomach and secure it with a belt and leave them there for 20min. So I guess your wondering why give them a three stars? Well like some of the other reviews I found it clean and pleasant, I had no problems with scheduling appointments they were very accommodating and with one if my treatments I decided to get a facial. The facial was very good, but a little pricey. I wouldn’t recommend lipo laser here, but I would come back for a facial and would recommend trying there facials here.

So this is only for the laser hair removal. I was totally turned off by laser hair removal because of a bad experience at a plastic surgeons office years ago. Decided to give it another shot. I’ve been waxing since I was 13 so my hair is very soft and manageable. Prices are more then reasonable. I decided to do upper lip, chin and underarms. I have not experienced any type of allergic or adverse reaction. Then again I know my skin is sensitive so I’m not going to crank up the laser. My best friends an esthetician so she came and made sure the laser was kept low. Yes it ends up being more expensive but still a fantastic price. Give it a shot. I’ve seen cindi as well as suh ki.

I was skeptic about using my 1 hour massage gift card after reading the reviews for Venus but I figured I had nothing to lose. I love the whole spa experience and who doesn’t love getting a massage? I’ve been to spas in Vegas, Miami, France, and of course all of the places on Staten Island. As far as the aesthetics of the place. don’t listen to these people. the place is clean yes however, as far as a relaxing beautiful atmosphere it was far from that. The woman screamed my name from the room to tell me my masseuse was ready for me, did not ask me if I wanted coffee, tea, water, or wine; which I guess I could understand since it is a small place and the person behind the desk was not too concerned if I had a relaxing spa experience or not. There was nothing euphoric about the room at all, aside from the typical zen music playing, the room was bland. However, the massage was awesome. I’ve gotten deep tissue massages before and they are extremely painful and I do not enjoy them at all, then I’ve gotten the standard swedish massages at some places and its a waste of time barely feeling any kind of massage. This place combined deep tissue massage and still made me feel comfortable and relaxed! From a 1 to 10 (10 being the highest) I give the massage a 9! However, the atmosphere and lack of a zen room and spa to shower after my massage and the unsightly room appeal, I give the overall experience and look of the spa a 4. People who say they got «bruised» or «hurt by the massage are probably cry babies and do not what a good massage is anyway. My masseuse’s name was Michelle! I recommend her highly.

I wish I could give this place a half star. Husband and I went there for a massge after getting Groupon. DO NOT GO THERRE!!! They are the worst EVER! If they are certified and licenced it was not by any reputable authority. She did not ask me if I had any issues I wanted addressed. She also used her tip of her elbow to «work out a knot» on my shoulder blades. and to top it off — No licensed masseuse should NEVER EVER get up on the table to give you a «deeper» massage. I left in more pain than I walked in there.
Buyer beware, do not go there unless you want to leave with more issues than you walked in there with.

I went last year after getting a Groupon. Worse massage ever… Was in pain and bruised for two days after. I’m wondering if the woman even had a license!
I kept telling her she was hurting me, and she told me its because I was «tense» and had «knots». There is no way, a massage should leave you bruised. I do not recommend this place to anyone for massages.

Disgusting!!! Unprofessional! No clue what they’re doing! DO NOT DO LASER HERE!!!

I went in the other day for a 60 minute Swedish massage. The place was pretty on the inside, clean, and the treatment rooms were dim, private and inviting. The massage therapist came in (I was on my belly under the towel) and she began to massage me (mostly my back) through the towel. Initially, I thought maybe shes stretching me out or something, and that towel part would be over in 5 minutes or so, but nooo! She massages me like this for at least a half hour! Im thinking– wheres the oil, where is the massage? Finally, she oils up my back, arms and massages them. Then brushes by my legs and doesnt touch my calves/​feet at all (and that was the part I was looking forward to after being sore from running at the gym). Then she flips me over to my back and I see by the clock I have 8 minutes left to my hour! She rubs my head and chest area, and then thats it. I was dumbfounded! She didnt really massage my legs at all, feet were left out, and what she did massage had barely any contact due to the towel. Very odd. I wont be coming back.

Super clean, relaxing, and the staff was friendly and made sure I was comfortable. I had a procedure done and the person who was working with me was very caring. She made sure to give me a consultation, and explain how the procedure works and what was I to do afterwords. Over all I am very pleased with the experience and would recommend to give it a try.

Standard eyelash extensions. Very expensive for the poor quality. $ 150 for full set. I only went twice, because it’s so close to home. Tell them you have a coupon from clipper magazine and they’ll give you a full set for $ 100. But I’d save my money for much better quality lashes somewhere else.

You get the Best Massage and other services for the best prices on Staten Island. The place is always immaculate and the owner Sookie and her staff are always warm and welcoming. All the girls are are great but I favor Winn for the best massage I ever got. The atmosphere is very relaxing. I’ve been to alot of places and spa’s on Staten Island, but this ones is the best! $ 49. 1 hour massage or $ 99. for 1 hour massage and 1 hour facial. Try it for yourself. Merry Christmas.
