Angela is amazing for waxing!
After a bad experience with a leg/brazilian wax at another salon in early July, I checked out Maksim last week on the recommendation of a friend. I LOVED it! It's small, immaculate, so friendly, and they use the Australian wax for brazilians that hurts soooo much less than regular wax. This wax so much more gentle and doesn't rip the top layer of skin off the way the other kind does with cloth strips. How did I not know about this amazing wax before? I got my legs waxed too (they use regular wax for legs, which is fine) and Angela was totally thorough, sweet and charming throughout the entire process. She really made me feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend her and Maksim to all my friends.
Pros: Immaculate, gentle, very friendly
Cons: Much more expensive than I was used to, weird/random office location

Not worth the $$
I got the "famous" extraction facial which just consisted of washing my face and extractions for the price of $115. The day after I had more zits than I came in with..so obvisously did not do a good job with the extractions. A waste of money and just ended up more miserable. If I wanted anything more besides the extractions I had to pay additional money, 40 for an enzyme peel and 25 for the mask, ridiculous!! Ok I'll pay for the peel, but aren't masks included in the initial price.
I tipped her and I have no idea why, not going back.

best brazil wax and facial ever
Hey Y'all,
Ladies, you have to go to Maksim Spa for all your treatments . They are the best at everything, they put you at ease for your first time waxing experience ever; and it was not as bad as i thought. After that i had the Eminence facial using only Eminence products and i can only sum it up in one word: AMAZING. The products smelled soo wonderful i wanted to eat it off my face, its a little intense, but at the end of the facial my skin felt and looked soo much better than when i walked in. I was refreshed and ready to take on the real world with my head held high. Yet, I was afraid of the dust that would greet me as i leave the building. They suggested products of which i purchased because i loved the facial soo much ( just to let you know there was no pressure into making a purchase). The Eminence facial is great for all skin types and for those with sensitive skin, she told me, as well as detoxifing the skin; and yes my face needed some of that. Overall the service was great and yes it is all true what i heard and read about Maksim Spa. I'll tell you they have some wonderful people working there. :)
Pros: they are professional and know their stuff
Cons: the treatment was not long enough- I did not want to leave

The Best Facial in NYC!
This is the best facial in the city! I always feel so pampered and relaxed when I leave, and my skin is getting better and better. I now get compliments from people about how good my skin looks.
I was feeling a little tired today so, I had a special stimulating facial today. It was tingly and different. I really felt revived!
They are experts at Maksim. You must go!
Pros: European trained expert estheticians. Very comfortable atmosphere. Convenient location.
Cons: Too much perfection sometimes.

I m staying with Maksim Spa
I've tried about 4-5 different facials in the city, and this is the only place I've been raving & recommending to all my friends. Very detail oriented, buck honest, and I have to say, I LOVE their recommended products. It's been hard to find a place for my type of skin, which breaks out often. But there has been a great improvement overall.
