Skin Bar

I went in for a facial at Skin Bar 2 weeks ago. My esthetician was Jessi and she was amazing. I had extractions done for the first time (which surprisingly weren’t painful, it was actually kind of a satisfying «hurts so good» feeling) plus a face, neck, shoulder and hand massage, and an oxygen boost at the end. It was super relaxing and felt amazing.
I have hormonal acne that pops up in my T-​zone especially on my chin. In the days afterward, I noticed some bumps (I believe in the places where she did the extractions), but then they disappeared and my skin has been completely clear ever since. I love that they offer memberships, because I can definitely see the benefit of doing this once or twice per month to maintain the results.
Overall it was a great experience — friendly and experienced staff, adorable retro Hollywood décor, and most importantly great results from the service I received.

I’ve been coming to Skin Bar for about a year now, and I have absolutely loved my experience! I have a Simply Skin Membership, which includes one facial per month, 10% off all products, and monthly specials. Shawn is the best! He, as well as the amazing products Skin Bar uses and sells, have helped to completely transform my skin. I struggled with acne for a few years and tried endless amounts of products but to no avail. Within a few months of seeing Shawn, however, I saw real results for the first time. I look forward to my facial every month, and I find the rest of the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place!

One laser hair tech who looks and acts like snooki. Treated me for about 3 seconds after spilling her dunkin donuts coffee on me «oops!!»
I’d rather buy a tria 4x

I’ve been coming here since January and I am loving my laser hair removal results. Gina is the best!!! After 2 underarm sessions I barely grow any hair and I am also seeing awesome results from my Brazilian. LOVE LOVE LOVE Gina!!! I will never wax again.

I love, love, love this place! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. But most especially Jess (great name too!) who recently was so helpful with making changes to my membership. The technicians there are amazing at what they do. My girl Gina, love her! She is not only so handy with a laser (it barely even stings) but she is hilarious and gives great advice about your love life! Also, the space is beautiful, clean and conveniently located in Midtown East. I really have only the best things to say about Skinbar. I was referred by a friend and have referred friends also. If you are even thinking of getting laser hair removal, do it and go here.

I have been going to Skin Bar for almost 2 years now. I live in Westchester but I take the train down to have my monthly facials. I came here during spa week, tried out their oxygen facial (try this) and immediately signed up for a monthly membership. Shawn takes good care of my skin and I highly recommend him for your skin care needs. He also recommends good products that keep my skin hydrated and some other tricks to keep my skin healthy. Every treatment is individualized and Shawn provides feedback after each session. He is very flexible and changes the treatment depending on how my skin reacts to a previous treatment or on how my skin looks. That, to me, is important because it means he takes time to identify what my current skin needs are. The whole team is amazing including Jess who knows everyone by name. I love this place and I certainly will keep my membership until I move out of state or country.

I started using Skin Bar (formerly known as Nuvision) back in mid-​2013 as I was introduced to them through Groupon. Three years later, I’m still a loyal customer because I’ve seen really good results. I have black hair and tan skin, and my hair is pretty much all gone in the areas that they’ve treated with laser hair removal: upper lip, underarms, naval area, and Brazilian. I have 3 monthly memberships for a small area, medium area, and golden skin which are such a great deal because dermatologists will charge you a substantial premium! The golden skin membership allows me to get 2 facials a month and so far, I feel that my skin is more moisturized and soft. They really take the time to take care of my skin and make sure that I’m getting the right treatment for my skin type. Everyone who works there is super friendly and always says hi to me when I walk in. Also, they’re really considerate about my schedule. They’ve called me before to let me know when a better appointment time opens up, and there have been a few times that I was running late from work and they were nice about letting me keep the original appointment. I have recommended all my friends to come here and I just wanted to share my experience with other Unilocalers!

I really enjoyed my experience here. As an African-​American woman, it is sometimes hard to find aestheticians who understand my skin needs. The Skin Bar helped push all that anxiety to the side. The aesthetician who serviced me (I believe her name was Kesha) is extremely passionate about helping women achieve fabulous skin. She gave me the best facial I’ve ever had and I left glowing. I’m likely going to sign up for the monthly membership service as a gift to myself. Book now ladies.

Stumbled onto SkinBar via LifeBooker & («Shhh…») now I’m a Forever Young member. Micro-​current is a great pick me-​up! Shawn is my skin personal trainer. Jess is a pleasure to deal w/​my travel, product requests & booking.

I’ve been getting my laser hair removal treatments here for months and Gina is by far the best! I like skin bar a lot in general but I do notice a bigger difference in my progress when I go to her vs. the others. Not to mention she is super funny and makes you feel very very comfortable. Even on a day that I was more sensitive, she gave me a stress ball and made me laugh (it was over before I knew it). She really cares about your experience and takes the extra step for you always!
Not to mention, she definitely keeps you educated along the way so you know exactly what’s going on and why.
In short, she is the best. If you want the hair gone and want to see some serious progress, go with Gina!

never even met Jessica Lemoine but her customer support for my refund request of mere 40 bux via emails was EXTREMELY attentive and just amazing. their laser genesis was also very good and loved the products they used on me afterwards too. too bad i live/​work too far away from them and my sensitive skin won’t allow me to get it done too often.

I got an IPL photofacial from Skin Bar about 5 days ago. The place is clean, the staff is nice. But the RESULTS! They are amazing! I am only 25 but I grew up trashing my skin in Florida on the beach and water sports. I had darkened patches on my forehead, upper lip, and some acne caused discoloration on my cheeks. Yes, I looked like a monster immediately after the treatment (Google IPL photofacial), but after about 5 days the scabs are gone and there is beautiful even skin underneath. And this was just one treatment!
If you have about a week to take downtime and do this, go for it. You won’t be disappointed.
By the way, I would give 5 stars but I wish they had told me just how crazy my skin would look afterwards. Otherwise, great place!

I just so happen to stumble into this place visiting the Eye doctor. During my visit while waiting I picked up a brochure and noticed that they did laser treatments. As a black woman ive always been skeptical of doing laser hair removal, Due to what I thought were potential hazards and also my experience and involvement in the beauty industry. Make a long story short this place is amazing the staff is wonderful and my treatments are amazing. Im of darker skinned complexion and have had no adverse reactions I will continue to visit SkinBar and I wish they had more locations across the United States. I just want to say thank you SkinBar and sometimes we find things when we’re not looking for them.

I love this place! From the welcome you receive when you book an appointment & check-​in to the very knowledgeable staff. I have the pleasure of booking with Jessica Bergquist who gives the best facials I have ever received. She takes the time to know my skin, understand my problems, and really recommend what is best for it on an appointment by appointment schedule to help me look & feel my best! I would highly recommend booking with her!
As a skin member I love the fact you are regularly able to try new products and services the spa is offering month-​to-​month. it is a great way to know what other products and services are out there and work for your skin without paying upfront without knowing how it will affect.
I booked this on a on off lifebooker deal for laser hair removal and 3 years later i am still here.

Poor customer service!
I had an IPL done at the spa; I didn’t get any results from the IPL. The spa refuses to treat me without a charge. I have done numerous of IPLs in the past with great results. Spoke with Jessica spa director as she informed me of the disappointment. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! They rather lose a customer than to retreat for satiation just screams poor business.

I’ve been a member at NuVision, now called Skin Bar (
), for years. I bought a six-​facial package that they offered years back when I stopped by an open house event they held, and signed up for the Simply Skin membership when they began offering it. Eventually I also signed up for a laser hair removal membership as well. Both memberships have been well worth it, as becoming a member includes special monthly deals and free upgrades, as well as discounts on other services and products. They also have promotions regularly that offer discounted monthly membership fees.
Skin Bar does a good job of working with you when you sign up as a member, and they’re very understanding. During my first year of membership, I was extremely ill and had to cancel my facial the morning of, and wouldn’t be able to have my treatment for the month because I was leaving town the next week. To make up for it, they put a free facial into my account to be used at a later date since the timing meant I missed a treatment that month that I’d already paid for. They also allow you to switch between laser hair removal package treatments month to month, since some areas require 6 to 8 weeks between sessions, so you can work on two different areas with the same membership.
I’ve seen various aestheticians over the years, but I now have my regular treatments with Jessi, who is fantastic — extremely sweet and helpful, and has a softer touch that makes my least favorite part of the facial, extractions, far more bearable. For my laser hair removal sessions, I go to Leisa, who is also great — friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient, which is always a plus for laser hair removal. I’ve been pleased after my sessions with both of them. They have taken great care of my skin.
They did a major renovation and space overhaul last year to become Skin Bar, and the upgrades and changes have definitely been for the better. The receptionists and front office have always been friendly and welcoming, but the waiting area now has a very comfortable, high-​end throwback feel to it. They also offer several lines of great skincare products, which are on display in the waiting area, and are always willing to give you more information on their offerings if you ask. They really care about their clients as well, as they’ve actually called me to survey how my experiences with their business have been.
I would definitely recommend Skin Bar to anyone looking to get a facial or laser hair removal, and encourage signing up for membership since the treatments are actually fairly affordable with it. I moved to a new neighborhood recently and Skin Bar is slightly out of the way now, but I still go monthly anyway I love the place so much. Give Skin Bar a try! I promise it’s worth it!

Purchased 6 Brazilian laser hair removals. Finally finished my last session a few weeks ago and gave it sufficient time and patience to see results.
After 10 months, to not see results (besides a little thinner hair) is a bit ridiculous to me. I blame it on the technician spending very little time on my sessions and not using a strong enough level of laser strength (possibly NuVision“cheaping” out on me because I purchased the discounted package from Lifebooker).
I still have all the hair I had before the treatments, went every 6 weeks 6 times and took the instructions on care very seriously. I have dark brown hair and slightly tan skin, the ideal candidate for this procedure. I am very disappointed :(

I’ve been going to Skin Bar, aka Nuvision, for about a year. I’ve been getting peels, facials, and laser treatments.
Overall, I’ve been pleased with the results from my treatments and their customer service. Jessica is my aesthetician; she’s professional, knowledgeable and downright awesome!

It’s taken me way too long to review this place but I was thinking about them today and the exact thought was, «Nuvision can just take ALL of my money because they are the truth, the light and the way!»
Let me explain.
I have been getting facials and doing laser hair removal at a number of different places around the city for years now. I’ve seen some progress but nothing really promising. And all of those visits were from groupon/​living social/​life booker/​gilt you name it packages and once they were up, I never felt compelled to actually go full price and become a regular at any of those places.
But then there was Nuvision.
After my first laser session, I LEGITIMATELY saw results almost immediately. It was mind blowing. What were they doing that no other places was? I didn’t care I just wanted more of it. Halfway through my package I ponied up and became a member buying full price sessions for laser on a different area and also facials with microdermabrasion add ons. I really came to trust the aestheticians and the results really speak for themselves.
Everyone is very professional (shout out to Jess!), the venue is very soothing and the prices are so affordable, especially when you become a member. Highly recommended. Don’t waste your money going elsewhere. I wish I had discovered them years ago.

2 stars for being clean.
First of all, I’m being sent junk emails from other companies who point to this site as the source. NOT okay.
Secondly, now that I’m here, I can leave my review for the awful customer service and situation I had with them a year or two ago– the receptionists were always unprofessional and impolite, I feel like they’re young girls from way out of town who need to make a quick dollar. They give zero sh*ts about anything. Period.
I received laser hair removal, 6 sessions through a lifebooker /​groupon voucher– it’s now a year later and looking like I have never received a single treatment. (Another spa said sometimes spas with laser vouchers use less strength during treatment so you actually end up buying more sessions at full price after the package is spent… Makes sense).
Additionally, I actually missed an appointment I had to make two months in advance because they couldn’t be bothered to confirm my appointment closer to the date like every other high end spa/​office/​salon/​business in existence. I lost that entire session. Waste of time and a LOT of money.
