juliemarietudor — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I've received several treatments at Tribeca Beauty Spa....facials, massage, pedicure. All have been great and I continue to come back for more!

The facials are truly fabulous - I love the products they use and always have a certain 'glow' to my face afterwards!

Nadia is amazing. She gives me the best facials I have ever had. I recommend her to anyone looking to have a facial.

4 Stars: good facial (by KCC)

I went to TBS during spa week. I received a standard facial. Service did not seem to be altered or rushed b/c I was paying spa week price. I enjoyed the experience. Place was smaller than I had expected, but overall experience was positive.

superbobin — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:00:00 GMT

my first experience with tribeca beauty spa was during spa week last year ... since then it has become my " home " spa.
i have had massages, facials, and recently had a wax and pedicure ... fantastic service and great staff.
i'm getting a hot stone massage in a few weeks, can't wait to report on that service.
overall, this is an excellent spa, the staff know my name, and seem genuinely happy to see me when i come in. the location is wonderful as well ... so close to my office that i can even "pop" in during lunch!

4 Stars: great spa! (by spamama99)

spamama99 — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:00:00 GMT

i've been visiting this spa for the two years it has been open and it is just top notch! small and sweet, a little out of the way but worth the trip to find some peace and relaxation in nyc!

This was a great way to spend my Valentiens evening with my hubby. WOuld definitely go back for other services! The relaxing area is a great place to chill out and spend time with friends and family.

A really wonderful place and the staff were very kind and helpful.

5 Stars: I Love Tribeca Beauty Spa (by robynhcooper)

robynhcooper — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I was introduced to the Tribeca Beauty Spa when they were offering a mini-facial package. The service and hospitality was amazing and the packages reasonably priced. I have been back since and got the best massage ever. My massage therapist - Ania - paid close attention to detail and you could tell that she really has passion for her job. I was at the Ritz Carlton a few weeks ago for a massage, and the massage at Tribeca Beauty Spa was 1000 times better. The skin care products from Sonya Dakor, friendly staff, and relaxation are also incredible.

5 Stars: I only go HERE for Facials! (by mvk12)

mvk12 — Tue, 05 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I've been following Nadia for the past 5 years. She is one of the best estheticians in New York and such a wonderful personality.

I have problem skin (acne since I was 12) and Nadia is an extraction queen. She has always provided great skin advice and followed-up about my progress.

I've been coming to her new spa in Tribeca for over a year now and have since tried the waxing, nail and massage services as well. All are fantanstic. The atmosphere is very relaxed and unpretentious (thank god!), and has a quaint shabby chic feel to it.

I recommed this place to all my friends for good old fashion beauty care.

5 Stars: PERFECT SERVICE (by Nataly)

Nataly — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:00:00 GMT

My sister and I visited the Tribeca Beauty Spa few days ago and we both had a great experience . We had facials, massages and body scrubs and they were terrific. The therapists were welcoming, friendly and very talented. They recommended products used during the treatment ,but there was not a hard sell - just a nice recommendation. We will definatly return. We've been to a number of spas in the city - this was a great experience and a relaxing day.

2 Stars: There are better places out there (by apros)

apros — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 01:00:00 GMT

I went for a massage and facial. When I got there, I changed into a robe and enjoyed the sauna room. As enjoyable as it was, i realized that i probably had been enjoying it a little too long and that my appointment should have started by then. I went to the receptionist to ask what was going on. She said it should be just a few more minutes. Well 15 minutes later, she came down to tell me they were behind schedule and they were going to offer me a free manicure. It was a nice complementary service. I was under the impression that my massage would start right after my manicure but i got to go wait for another 15 minutes. MY FIRST APPOINTMENT STARTED 1.5 HOURS AFTER IT WAS SCHEDULED!!! yes i got a free manicure but is that really worth 1.5 hours of my time? no, not in my book. The treatments i receieved were really great but the managment is horrible and almost ruined my experience.

Also, I was not the only one who experienced delays. A couple who was there for a couples massage, was asked by the receiptionist "do you want to be in seperate rooms" umm why would anyone go for a couples massage in seperate rooms. Well, management once again had misscheduled and they were going to have to wait an hour. If you dont mind waiting, come here but if you have things to do in life, there are much better places out there.

4 Stars: Nice Massage (by nYCgal12)

nYCgal12 — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Went in for massage a couple of days ago. A friend told me they had good prices and excellent service so this was the first time I was there. The Spa was nice, downstairs was the locker room and waiting area. The waiting area had fruit. coffee, tea and wine. They also have a nice sauna. My massage was nice, I was a little sore afterward. However there was a lot of noise coming from the reception area. People were talking loud and doors were being slammed. My therapist was very nice. I will be back, maybe for a lighter massage.

4 Stars: Great Facial (by midnitmarauder)

midnitmarauder — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I came here for a men's facial since my girlfriend insisted on it and decided to grab a massage while I was here. I don't normally do Spas, but I can tell you that this place was very clean and comfortable. I came early for my appointment and they were about to start early too, so that worked out great. The facial really did clear up my skin a bit, too my own surprise, my face looked more alive than before. The massage was great too, the girl was cooperative in terms of how deep I wanted the massage and was very skilled.

The one thing that DID bother me was that the women who did my facial (who I think is the owner of the spa), kept trying to sell me facial cleaners and other products. It was rather annoying. I came out of the great massage and she was standing at the front desk trying to sell things, it really ruined the experience at the end and cheaped the whole experience. Its one thing to recommend me a product and say something along the lines of "I will leave this for you at the front, if you're interested", but standing there and at the end and pressuring me is taking it a bit to far.

Overall, I would still very much recommend this place. The services were excellent and the facilities are great too.

5 Stars: Getaway with your friend (by mushitush)

mushitush — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

My friend and I needed a day off. We organized a spa day. Some friends who attended a spa party here recommended us this place. When scheduling appointments they worked with me to have me and my friend receive the treatments at the same time. I was asked if we wanted to use the sauna and the lounge area which was such a relaxing experience between the treatments. After using the sauna the 2 massage therapists took us to the room and asked us if we wanted to be in the same room. During the massage they would constantly check in with us if the pressure was enough, if there were any areas that we wanted them to concentrate on. After the massage; Side by side we received crystal bubble manicure and pedicure, which felt great and my toes and fingers never felt cleaner. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating that while receiving the service they brought us fresh fruit and white wine...hmmm My friend and I cannot wait to come here again for those famous facials we heard about. And we are recommending this spa to all of your friends

5 Stars: An Amazing Find! (by spafanatic01)

spafanatic01 — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:00:00 GMT

This spa has to be the best one I had ever been to and I have been going to many throughout NYC! The spa is beautiful and intimate and the employees were extremely friendly. I felt pampered sipping on tea and eating fresh fruit. The waxing is as painless and professional as it can be (I have been to several ladies here for brazilian waxes and eyebrow shaping-all of them are very skilled) and Daniella does a fabulous massage. Last time i was there, my friend had an amazing facial which I can not wait to experience myself! I can not stop raving about this gem to all my friends, I just purchased a gift certificate here for my mother so she can see what I am so thrilled about!

5 Stars: Best Facial! (by BellaChicka)

BellaChicka — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I had broken out (understatement) due to stress and needed an emergency facial. i called the spa who was able to work with my schedule and book a facial for that day. I received a call from the Spa around an hour before my appointment giving me the heads up that they were running 10-15 behind. I was amazed at how considerate they were and how much aggravation they saved me witih one phone call so i wouldn't come down there and wait around getting upset (if only doctor offices would follow suit...). I got there and had Ivanka as my facialist. She examined my skin and was brutally honest about what she could and couldn't do. I left there feeling unsure whether it was worth the money spent but after just one day- my skin was completely clear!! I received so many compliments and feel amazing about my complexion now. It was worth every penny and more. I urge anyone looking for an effective facial to come to Tribeca. It's amazing!!

5 Stars: Best spa! (by TLnyc)

TLnyc — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I've been going here since it opened about a year ago. Nadia is the best! She does a great job with eyebrow waxing...always making sure to never go too thin. She is also amazing with facials. My skin ends up perfectly clear and glowing every time. They are also open 7 days a week and have great monthly specials. I've been to a few spas in the area, and this one definitely is the best.

5 Stars: Amazing facials and massages...best bikini wax in town! (by AFED13)

AFED13 — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I have been going to Tribeca Beauty Spa for many years and can't say enough about the quality of the services and the staff. Last month I threw a spa day party for my bridesmaids before my wedding and was so impressed with the event that I had to write! All of us had mani/pedis and a massage and it was the perfect relaxing and fun day to have before my wedding with my friends and family.

I have had many different services here, but mostly massage, waxing and facials, which are all stellar. The choice of products used for the facials are also fabulous and my skin always looks and feels great when I leave.

Also, if anyone is looking for a great bikini wax, I MUST recommend Nadia. Although I was initially very timid (and endured several bad and very painful experiences at other spas), I now only go to Nadia for a brazilian. She makes you feel very comfortable and makes the process as painless as possible!

I travel down from the upper east side to go to Tribeca Beauty Spa and its 100% well worth the trip! I've been to other spas and always feel much more comfortable at Tribeca Beauty Spa because of its welcoming and relaxed environment. Particularly as I enjoy a nice cup of tea and relax with a magazine while I wait to start my service!

5 Stars: Greatest wax (by gr8stwax)

gr8stwax — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

This is was my first Brazilian Bikini experience, and i have to admit before going in there I felt as if i was going to the chair but the waxer was so sweet and understanding and most importantly knowledgeable that she put my mind at ease...she recommended to use the sensitive wax since it was my first time and i have to admit it was extremely quick and did not feel a thing... after that i took advantage of their seasonal special which are a steal. Recommended two of my other friends and they agreed with me...

5 Stars: Loved Tribeca Beauty Spa! (by Destine2Design)

Destine2Design — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 02:00:00 GMT

The customer service was awesome and Tribeca staff was on point with every little detail when it came to my comfort.
I thank them so much for the wonderful experience and I am looking forward to going back again really soon! I will be sure to recommend you guys to all my Brides to be, so that they can also experience such wonderful treatment.

1 Stars: Unless you are flying solo and looking for a long mani-pedi, avoid. (by justsoyouknow)

justsoyouknow — Mon, 19 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I visited the spa on Saturday with my sister and my mother and her friend, we were under the impression that we had four mani-pedi appointments for 4:00. When my mom and I arrived at 3:30 we were ushered in promptly for our pedicures and when my sister arrived at 4:15, one of the receptionists decided that maybe she should help out and she proceeded to work on my sister. When the fourth member of our party arrived, we learned that they did not have four people to assist us and that we'd have to wait. Although our nails ultimately came out well, the women assisting us were extremely unfriendly, and the manager was extremely unaccommodating and even further expressed no apologies or sense of remorse for the miscommunication. To make things worse, we were getting our nails done for my sister's wedding, and they did not even seem to care that we had dinner plans etc. Two of us were finished at 6:30 and the other two at 7:10... The manager was extremely rude, and while it may not have been his fault that the situation turned out the way it did, he did nothing to improve the situation.

He did however serve champagne, grapes, cookies and jelly rings. If that's your thing and you don't mind rude, unaccommodating, not that great of an atmosphere, then this place is fine. Also, don't expect to spend less than $50 for a mani-pedi before tip. Also, know that they only have 2 manicuring stations and 3 pedicure chairs (not comfortable or reclining), and a drying station is extremely hard to find.

Flush your money, waste your afternoon, go to the Tribeca Beauty Spa.

2 Stars: Hmmm (by orsinipa)

orsinipa — Mon, 12 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Well, after reading all the reviews below, it looks like I should have read them first and specifically asked for Nadia. I went on a Sunday (last appointment of the day.) Got a weird vibe when the host told us he'd have to check the co-ed dressing room to see if there were any men in there (which there were), so then we had to wait for that. We changed and our massage therapists took us to the room. Mine did not introduce herself to me at all - I didn't know her name til it came time to write it on the tip envelope and had to ask the host for it. I had a confusing experience. I was down for a hot stone massage, which I was totally looking forward to because I'd never had one. The massage started out and I kept thinking "this is kind of rough, not relaxing." I kept waiting for hot stones. About 15 minutes in I sensed maybe something was wrong but didn't say anything. Halfway through when she told me to flip over, I knew I was in for the wrong massage but still didn't say anything because if it was her job to make me relax, I didn't want to screw up her vibe. Long story short, they had me down for a Swedish massage. Nobody asked me before or after what I was in for, though I did fill out a sheet saying I was there for relaxation. They initially tried to give me a gift certificate for a future hot stone massage, but I was able to get some money off (a smaller amount) for the fact that my experience was not relaxing at all (I spent the whole time trying to figure out if I was in for the right treatment and whether or not I should say anything.) In addition, the girl had neglected to clip her own fingernails so I got quite a few scratches on my back. Also, some of the things in the Swedish massage were uncomfortable, so at least I know now not to ever get that treatment again. Looks like I'll have to learn about a hot stone massage somewhere else.

5 Stars: Nadia is a secret weapon for fabulous skin (by ihw)

ihw — Fri, 09 May 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I recently visited the Tribeca Beauty Spa for a facial with Nadia, the owner. Wow- was I impressed! My skin was in desperate need of a good facial since I had been traveling internationally and it really showed on my face. Nadia was incredibly thorough and really gave my skin a great cleaning. Within seconds of being in her treatment room, I was instantly relaxed and knew I was in the excellent hands of a serious skincare expert. I left without any redness or blotches and the next day my skin just glowed- I didn?t need to wear any makeup! Days after my facial, my husband kept commenting on how fresh and rested I looked. I had a customized facial, which I highly recommend to anyone. Nadia used an assortment of B.Kamins, Chemist skincare products, which felt simply divine. They also offer an ultra luxurious, anti-aging facial- the Diamond Radiance facial from B.Kamins, Chemist- which I can't wait to try on my visit to Nadia!

The lower level has a wonderful steam and sauna and an inviting lounge area. It would be the perfect place to gather with a small group- either for mother/daughter day or a bachlorette party. Overall, the spa has a warm, mellow and relaxed vibe and you don?t feel the rush of the city. It is a great place to escape for some pampering and the benefits of Nadia?s magic touch will last long after your visit!

5 Stars: Relaxation & Courtesy in One! (by Momo876)

Momo876 — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I went to Tribeca Beauty Spa during the spa week of 4/19/2008...It was more than I expected for my first time ever at a spa or getting spa treatment. I was the first customer for the day and the minute i pushed the door open it was nothing my courtesy. the receptionist (I forget his name) he got me settled in by showing me around from bathroom to den area. the spa itself is really beautiful as they incorporated alot of european tones and decorative values. everything is remarkably clean and the staff beyond helpful. If you get a massage ask for Nadia or ericka, a friend had reffered me to Maria but Nadia Ericka really was helpful and kept it straight to the point on what my massage should be what I want. my pedicure was done by lily, she was really nice and friendly, especially the conversation as i was alone and kinda skeptical about spas, she really knew how to be of service to the customer, but what really put me in the green circleabout this spa was how much they cared, as I was getting my pedicure the receptionist walked by and offered me snacks or a drink and then gave me a glass of ice cold water with lime, i never felt so pampered in my life. If your looking for a place to unwind from the city choose this spa especially when your done there are lots of shops to go afterwards!

4 Stars: Very cute! (by evie049)

evie049 — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I visited Tribeca Beauty Spa for spa week with my sister and had my first facial. The people were very nice and friendly. They did not push their products on you but did give you the option to buy them and explained their use. Although it was spa week I did not feel rushed as I have heard about other spas. The spa itself is very clean and well decorated. It is a charming place in a cool area. Definitely worth a trip back!

4 Stars: Waxing was great! (by klc29)

klc29 — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I recently needed to get ready for a vacation to the beach and was in the market for a new waxer. I looked on citysearch and saw the reviews about the amazing brazilian wax; I took a chance and tried them for the first time. This was the best thing I did. Nadia was my waxer ( I had a full leg and brazilian done) and she was so quick and painless... I will never go elsewhere. PS They had this great deal for waxing during the week; so all and all it was pretty reasonably priced too.

ann7915 — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

Recently my friend presented me a small gift, the gift certificate from Tribeca Beauty Spa. It was for one hour facial. She suggested me to make an appoitment with Monika. She told me she is great. And she was absolutely right. I had a wonderful time and fantastic facial. My skin was completely changed. I got so many compliments from my family, friends,and coworkers!!!!!

5 Stars: Great Service, Reasonable Prices (by psp96)

psp96 — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I highly recommend Tribeca Beauty Spa. I recently hosted a bachelorette party there and had a wonderful experience. The spa was small and cozy, and the staff was very friendly and service-oriented. The prices were also very reasonable. All of the girls raved about the service and the atmosphere. This is a great place for a party, large or small.

5 Stars: Tribeca treat- what a gem! (by travellover67)

travellover67 — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I found this Spa right here, on Citysearch, and I have to tell you, after reading the reviews, I had high expectations! I was not disappointed.
The Spa is cozy, clean, the staff is welcoming and professional!
I had a Signature facial with Nadia- she is sweet, knowledgeable and very helpful. She explained everything I need to know about my skin; recommended products and treatments to make sure I look my best, and made me feel and look wonderful. She did a gentle peel- I was scared first, but nothing to be afraid of.....her skill is undeniable! Very special treat!
And the crown of the day was a massage with Erica.
It is hard to find a good massage therapist, and I will definitely coming back to her. Her style is nothing I have experienced before; her work is strong, yet not painful; firm, reassuring and relaxing. She was very much in tune with my body, knew exactly what I needed, and stayed where she needed until my body responded to her magical hands.
It was a remarkable day at a wonderful place- really a gem amongst Tribeca's many-many spas and salons!

5 Stars: Wonderful Prenatal Massage (by NYCMommy)

NYCMommy — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 02:00:00 GMT

I love going to Tribeca Beauty Spa! I recently had a prenatal massage that was truly wonderful. I am in my second trimester and have had a lot of swelling so it was a true blessing to treat myself to your prenatal massage services and be treated with such kindness and care. Thank you to my therapist and to the spa for making me feeling so comfortable and cared for during my pregnancy.

michelleonell — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Just loved my experience at the spa. The best eyebrow wax and bikini I ever had! Monika is a great beautician, happy to give advice when asked. She listens to what I want and makes sure that I'm completely happy. She's very professional and pays attention to details. You won't be disappointed.

5 Stars: A TREASURE! (by edona038)

edona038 — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Tribeca Beauty Spa is a true treasure in the city! I booked my waxing appointment through Lifebooker, and I have never had a better wax before!! My skin felt very soft and clean, Nadia (the host) did the wax, which was painless and too good! After having experienced this, I decided to give facials a try, and the results were fascinating, Nadia suggested the Sonia Dakar facial that would work for my troubled skin, and did not try to push the products at all! I felt very safe and clean during both the wax and facial. All I have to say is I'm glad I found Tribeca Beauty Spa, and I am not changing my spa again!

5 Stars: absolute gem (by julias75)

julias75 — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Tribeca Beauty Spa has been one of the best kept secrets in the neighborhood. I would consider myself a very picky spa customer (I have lived and traveled extensively in Europe and Asia). In my view, Tribeca Beauty Spa owner Nadia has succeeded in creating a very cozy (truly homelike) welcoming atmosphere. I must also mention that the spa is immaculately clean! I have sampled multiple treatments, and every time I left Tribeca Beauty Spa I looked and felt great!
There have been multiple great reviews of Nadia?s facial. I would very much subscribe to every word ? Nadia?s facial is simply fantastic (my face was glowing for a week!). I have also done 6 massage sessions with Susan after I gave birth. Susan has created an innovative and customized approach with me that worked incredibly well ? I very much saw the results! Last, but not least, both Irina and Lili give fantastic manicure and pedicure (they have turned me into a faithful regular every week customer).
I have very much enjoyed being a customer at Tribeca Beauty Spa and want to wish Nadia and her wonderful staff lots of success in 2008!

5 Stars: Great Pedicure (by mipad)

mipad — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I recently read an article about Tribeca Beauty Spa in Lucky Magazine and decided to give it a try. Taking baby steps I decided to just get a pedicure first. Boy was I in for a treat! Figuring I didn't need an appointment for a pedicure I just walked in and had to wait just a few minutes to be seen. Luckily, the person to give me the pedicure was Lily, whom I'd read about in Lucky. She was wonderful! Her hands were expert and I felt completely pampered as she cut my cuticles and gave my legs a great salt scrub. She didn't rush and I felt like the only person in the room listening to relaxing music with a cup of tea in my hand. I highly recommend it. It's refreshing to see a place that is so clean and well lit. Next step, a facial and a massage! :)

5 Stars: Heavenly Facial (by meli11)

meli11 — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I just received a heavenly facial from Ivanka at Tribeca Beauty Spa. I came in with a few blemishes and some discoloration and she recommended their new Supersonic Facial w/ peel. I feel asleep twice because her hands were like feathers during my facial massage. I was amazed by her calming nature and how my face glowed when I left. In 24 hours my blemishes were gone and my dark spots had been eliminated. They weren't kidding when they used the word Super.

5 Stars: Best Facial Anywhere (by 111580)

111580 — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

Ask for Nadia at the Tribeca Beauty Spa. I have been seeing Nadia for the Sonya Dakar Fitness Facial for 6 years now. We are certainly close after all these years. The times I booked facial elsewhere I did not have the best results. I have extremely sensitive skin and have walked out of facial with red spots followed by breakouts when I visited other salons. This has never happened with this aesthetician. Nadia is also my go to lady if I am having a skin flair up. I also appreciate that she does not push products but gives me ample samples to try at home. I wish I could visit more often!

5 Stars: Beautiful spa, great service, and amazing waxer and Masseuse (by DDS12)

DDS12 — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I?m a resident of Queens, a laborer and student of the city. On my free time I like to swim, and kick box and having a smooth, clean skin is a must. One day I was walking along the Hudson and I stumbled upon Tribeca Beauty Spa. That day, I believe a Monday or a Tuesday, they had a promotion on waxing, so I decided to just come in and see if they could squeeze me in. With my luck they didn?t have anyone available at that time, but they asked if I could wait 10 min and they would find someone. While I waited one of the massage therapists, offered me a complimentary neck rub, wow!!! She showed me around and even offered me to sit in the sauna while I waited. I?ve been to those huge spas and I would trade all my visits for just one visit here. Everyone is so sweet, and always smiling. When I went into the waxing room, it was the cleanest one I have seen. Nadia, the same woman I see that so many people posted about, was the one who took care of me. I have to say with my coarse chest, back and underarm hair she waxed it with such ease and quickness that I was shocked with disbelief?I scheduled an appointment with the massage therapist Susan, manicure with Lily and a facial with Nadia who amazingly does everything. I NEED AN ESCAPE FROM WORK, and school at least once a month.

3 Stars: Totally unorganized (by chloemetz)

chloemetz — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I scheduled a prenatal massage here. While the massage itself was great, the information I was given in advance was very poor. At first I was told I would need a doctor's permission to have the massage even though this information was not conveyed to me over the phone when I made the appointment. Finally, they conceded that permission wasn't necessary. Then, they messed up my bill and charged the wrong credit card. No one seemed to know what was going on or how to fix it. Also, beware of unisex locker rooms.

5 Stars: just unbelievable (by ninush)

ninush — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 01:00:00 GMT

I was fed up by inexperienced waxers, A group of my girl-friends solved my distress by recommending me to the best waxer in the city. I took their advice and scheduled my appointment in Tribeca Beauty Spa. Tribeca Beauty Spa serves as a private sanctuary in the mist of the ongoing city chaos of Tribeca. Indeed, the service was outstanding. I was serviced by Nadia. It happens to be that she is also a Brazilian and speed waxing instructor at Atelier Esthetique Institute of Esthetics. She was incredible! I found Tribeca Beauty Spa to be a warm, cozy and truly unique in many aspects from other spas that I have been to. I liked it so much that I treated myself to a massage and a facial which I highly recommend to everyone. Just one tip, book in advance and arrive early to use the sauna and the relaxing atmosphere with a cup of herbal tea and some fruit..

5 Stars: Amazing brazilian wax (by danamelissa)

I recently discovered Tribeca Beauty spa. I experienced the best, quickest, and least painful brazilian wax yet. I was in and out of there is less then 35 minutes. I was amazed that not only were the prices fair but Nadia ( the owner) actually serviced me. The spa was clean and the staff was extremely nice. I recommend you try it for yourself...

I absolutely love Tribeca Beauty Spa, they offer an array of wonderful services, and have all of the products I use for my skin. I recieved a giftcard for a full day at the spa and not only did I experience the Sonya Dakar facial with Nadia, I also had a swedish massage, and manicure, pedicure. The estithican was so knowledgable and sweet! They also have a wonderful relaxation area which includes steam room!
By far the best spa in the city!

5 Stars: My best facial (by nancyrogers71)

nancyrogers71 — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Tribeca Beauty Spa is the best spa I've ever been to. I went there for facial. It was amazing. The esthetician, Nadia, was very nice and professional. Before starting to do my facial, she examined my skin and recommended a few facials for me. However, she didn?t show sales pressure. She did a great job. Now my skin looks fantastic! By the way, the spa is beautiful and clean, and the staff is extremely friendly and professional. I highly recommend

5 Stars: Amazing Experience (by ketcham001)

ketcham001 — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 01:00:00 GMT

Minutes from the Franklin St. stop on the subway 1 line. Recently renovated - warm and inviting environment. From start to finish I felt very well taken care of. I had a Swedish/relaxation message from Borislav. He listened to what I wanted and created a customized session. No detail was overlooked on my hour long massage. It was very professional without losing a personal touch. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable; licensed message therapists and experienced beauty technicians. They offer many different treatments which are reasonably priced. So treat yourself from head to toe! Spread the word about Tribeca Beauty Spa.

I had the best facial I ever had last week - the Sonia Dakar facial. The aestheticians are all skilled and experienced - they take care of you! Excellent manicures and pedicures in a relaxing atmosphere. Be sure to take the time to relax in the spacious sauna, and have a cup of tea in the downstairs lounge.

5 Stars: Ula Day Spa (by charkeogh)

charkeogh — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

I just want to express my continued pleasure at using Ula Day Spa. I was one of the first customers and I still love it! Magda, the owner, has made it an oasis in the busy city, with a lovely, soft interior. I always immediately relax once I pass through the door. I've always had a great experience with the staff, no matter who I use. I'm one to book sporadically, so I get whoever is free for the appointment, and no matter who it is, they have been terrific! I know Magda has all her employees, when interviewing, show their expertise on her so that she can ascertain their technique and to determine if they are right for her clientele. No one gets through unless they pass her very strict requirements! I would highly recommend her facials, as well as the massage therapists. That's not to say the manicurists, and other professionals aren't terrific as well. They always do an expert job in my opinion.

5 Stars: My Own Private Oasis (by lisagilroy)

lisagilroy — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

As a long time TriBeCa resident I have enjoyed the various services at Ula's for many years and have been nothing but relaxed and satisfied each time. The majority of my treatments are performed by the same women throughout the years which is reassuring as it is unique. It is so welcoming to walk into a place and be greeted by name! I never feel rushed or ignored. The Ula pedicure lasts over a month and the massages and facials are my favorite. Whenever one of my sisters or a girlfriend are visiting we try and make it over to Ula's for a treatment or two! The space is warm and inviting and I like to sit downstairs with a cup of herbal tea between treatments. Magda was a TriBeCa pioneer and her longevity and attention to detail is the true testament of Ula's.

5 Stars: A hidden jewel in Tribecca (by sper0910)

sper0910 — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

one of the best finds in NYC. A hidden jewel. I would highly reccommend this spa esp the facials and massages. Plus the price is right. Very reasonable with NYC prices. The front desk treat you like a member of the family and are always willing to make your experience a good one. I rented out the mani pedi area once and brought my own champagne which thet were happy to chill for me and had a very fun girls night.

5 Stars: One of Tribeca's Best Kept Secrets (by fstingone)

fstingone — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

For the last ten years, I have been enjoying the skin, nail and body treatments at Ula's. The spa's atmosphere is calming and quiet and the professional staff, some of whom have been there from the day it opened, are very respectful of each client's privacy and need for relaxation. The treatments are top-of-the-line and use some of the best products on the market. On the rare ocassion that I have the time, I love spending the whole day there going from treatment to treatment.

I've never had a disappointing experience at Ula's. I started going to this peaceful and relaxing spa ten years ago when I lived around the corner. Today, I travel from Brooklyn for the top-notch services, experienced staff and reasonable prices. It's well worth the trip!

3 Stars: What a waste (by krasnermeister)

krasnermeister — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 01:00:00 GMT

this place is a huge disappointment. terrible service, never even bothered to ask me if I wanted to shower prior (or AFTER!) my massage. The receptionists could not have been lazier or less helpful. They also offered to refund my money and to this date have not responded to any phone calls. Really awful. There are SO many other places in the city to get a massage I wonder how this place stays in business. Truly an awful experience.

1 Stars: poor customer service (by pinky2005)

pinky2005 — Thu, 13 Jan 2005 01:00:00 GMT

I will not return to this spa. After about 6 visits, I enjoyed the services that were performed correctly, but reception does a very poor job and the staff does not make up for mistakes they make. Appointments or services are cancelled often upon arrival or booked incorrectly, and nothing is offered or done to make up for it. I followed up with a call to the spa manager after the wrong service was performed on me, and never heard back from the spa. There's just an 'oh well, your loss' attitude toward the customer - person paying for the service.

5 Stars: Quaint hidden spa w/ all the essentials (by ehatch)

ehatch — Tue, 11 Feb 2003 01:00:00 GMT

I went there looking for a quiet place with no obtrusive, snotty upper east side women and got exactly what I was looking for! Although ULA does not specialize in frills, it is a professional place with pleasurable amenities. From the lemon water, to fresh fruit, to the optional steam showers, Ula thoroughly impressed me. I would recommend to any friend.

5 Stars: NYC Hidden Gem (by yssa)

yssa — Tue, 02 Jul 2002 02:00:00 GMT

I've been going to ULA since before they expanded and they're still wonderful! The sauna is delightful, the service excellent, the prices reasonable, and in general a wonderful place. Even though it's co-ed, it's still set up with privacy in mind, yet maintains a strongly feminine feel. I've sent and brought all my friends here at one point or another. Just a great, feel good place!
