I have gone to face 2 face for my second appointment, and I love the laid-back atmosphere. The website looks a little like a soft-core porn site, which is very clever and easy on the eyes! My waxing service was the best I've ever had. I'm sensitive and prone to ingrowns, and I had the sugaring Brazilian. My skin was not irritated after, which is a first for me. I highly recommend this spa, and am considering switching all my spa services to face2face.

You can probably get a cheaper wax elsewhere, but the quality at Face to Face can't be beat. I've been going for years, and they're always accommodating.

I got the "smooth operator" body waxing with Diane. She was fantastic. I never felt uncomfortable at all, and you could tell that she was very experienced and knew what she was doing. The spa may seem a bit pricey, but to me it is well worth it. I will be returning soon!

They are so talented. This place is amazing and they take great care of you. The distinguishing factor is how experienced and careful all of the staff are. I would never go anywhere else.

I had some body waxing done at F2F by Enrique. First, it was much less painful than I remember and more importantly there were no pimples or bumps after. Smoothness lasted longer than before. Well worth it! -Joe, LIC, NY

I had a few of the male waxing packages and Salvadore was amazing. I've been getting waxed "down there" for a while now, but this was the first time at face to face. It was a great experience and I will be be back!

Had a chest and back wax with Salvatore. He is thorough, professional and very personable. The facility is very clean and upscale, and I will plan on being a regular customer.

While I was a little intimidated by the website, I am sooo glad I chose face to face. Diane was professional, friendly, and easy-to-talk to. I am recommending this spa to all of my New York friends and will be missing face to face when move back to Ohio!

Diane did an excellent job and is a consummate professional. I was most satisified with the experience. It was my first time, and I found it relatively painless.

Enrique is the best! Kirra will ONLY see him. He's gentle and trustworthy. The place is clean and fun. Everything a spa has to offer. This will alwasys be our first choice

Staff was friendly, helpful and made me feel right at ease for a little "personal" grooming. The best part was how clean the place is. It may be on the small side, but it is immaculate. A definite find and I'll be back.

Enrique is an excellent massage therapist, one of many available at Face to Face NYC. Very professional and friendly I have been a customer for many years and highly recommend them

My experience with face to face NYC day spa was great. The people are very welcoming and my one hour Feng Shui massage was great. They def. delivered.

This was my first time waxing below the waist and it was surprisingly relaxing. Enrique was very professional and thorough. If I have one negarive comment, it's that I had to wait about 20 minutes. Not a big deal to me, but it could be an issue if you schedule back-to-back appointments. Otherwise, AMAZING and I can't wait to go back.

Salvador was very courteous, professional, and his waxing technique was extraordinary. I felt no or very little pain and he constantly made sure I was comfortable since this is an extremley intimate procedure. I would def. make an appt. with him again in the future.

Enrique is a master. Not just great stress relief, but deep muscle relaxation. He is truly the best that I have ever experienced. The facility is very nice and the staff was very helpful. I will definitely be back.

Salvatore was friendly, proffesional, and made me feel at ease. He gave me great tips for upkeep, and the entire session was very relaxing and enjoyable.

I had an O2 facial with Enrique . It was my first facial in over a year! Enrique gently and patiently brought my skin back to life. It was sooo relaxing too. I woke up today and my skin looks radiant, fresh and much younger. Thank you!!

I have been to Face to Face for waxings and facials many times during the past several years and have thoroughly enjoyed my time there. Enrique is the most personable, caring, and detail oriented professional I have had the pleasure to meet. His body waxing is meticulous and the facials are thorough and enjoyable. A great spa experience I highly recommed. It's a really cute spa with a really cute staff.

Emmanuel gave one of the best massages I've had. Don't mistake his trim stature-I asked him to work very deep and he really did! Highly recommended. The staff was very friendly as well.

Worse brazilian I ever had!!! it wasn't a clean wax at all. I had a lot of hair left and days after i had so many ingrown hairs. Never going back to that place.

I have been coming back for this service many times now -Emmanuel is a magician, very intuitive, and leaves me feeling amazing every single time. Can't wait to go back!

Upon arriving, I was asked if I wanted some water. The people are very courteous and the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. The scented candle fragrance intruiged me and before leaving, I purchased one. The massage itself was very relaxing and professional. I'll be back in July

Enrique was just great -- made me feel entirely comfortable! He's funny and chatty, and thoroughly professional. Will definitely be returning to Face to Face!

Diane is great at what she does. She is the best for waxing services. I have known here for 7 years both at Face to Face and SPA Sun. I recently returned to Face to Face.

I have used Face to Face since they opened and always very satisfied. Enrique did my most recent facial and it was so relaxing that I fell asleep during part of it. Can't say enough about the place and staff.

John London
Having lived in NYC until 5 years ago, I always indulge in treatments when I go back to NYC, except all the places I used to go have closed down. Tried Face to Face I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the staff was and how well trained they were. The No Borders Massage was exactly what it said it was -- Deep Tissue and relaxing techniques. I felt awesome afterward and wanted to book another one! I will try their sugaring next time in NYC.

Erin
I've been getting brazilian waxes from Diane for a couple years now. She's amazing. Always professional and friendly and an expert in providing me with a pleasant experience with what could be a very painful process. I am always extremely pleased with the results.

I had my third facial with Enrique and I will be back for #4! My skin always feels so much better after his incredibly treatment and I leave totally relaxed (great arm, shoulder and neck massage with the facial) and feeling great! Enrique is the best and makes you feel totally pampered!!

The "Ultimate Massage" was ok... nothing really exceptionnal. Just an average OK. I've had other services at Face to Face (other massages, facials etc..) that were trully amazing. This one was.. just OK...

The whole place is calming, welcoming, relaxing. Enrique was my massage therapist was fantastic, has a very intuitive touch. This is definitely a place I plan to return to, and will suggest to friends.

I got a gift certificate from a friend to face to face for a back massage and it was one of the best gifts. The ambiance is peaceful, the place is super clean, and the staff very friendly. Tim was my massage therapist and I think he is truly gifted at his craft! I will definitely go again!

And yet again, the massage without borders was perfect! Bravo for maintaining your goal towards excellence. The staff and masseuer were the ultimate in what is expected of professionalism. Will return again and recommend Face to Face to others.

Brandi
My former masseuse has hung up his sheets so I was nervous about trying someone new. Emmanuel was amazing! He annihilated the knots in my back and shoulders. The pressure was perfect, the environment relaxing. I will definitely return
Mar 17, 2010
Drew Wharton
The professionalism of the staff is outstanding. I had some rather sensitive waxed and Salvadore handled it with complete professionalism. He checked in with me every few minutes and made it painless...the least painful waxing of those areas EVER! He is awesome and they accomodated me an hour early since I was already in the area! I highly recommend him and face to face!
Mar 17, 2010
David
Emmanuel spent a great deal of time on my worst knots in my neck and legs with a lot of pressure. Most massages I've had are too gentle. He was able to keep the firm pressure for the entire 1.5 hours.
Mar 8, 2010
Javier
I had the massage without borders, which was for 1.5 hours. The massage was amazing and the professionalism of the staff was exceptional. I was hesitant at first given this was my first time at face to face nyc, but I must admit that I was thoroughly surprised at the quality of service. The space had a nice ambience and vibe, and felt very boutique-like. I would recommend this day spa, especially Emmanuel who did a great job.

Sarah Shapiro
I always enjoy my experience at face to face. The waxing is always very thorough yet usually quick, and the staff are very friendly. I love that they offer a drink while you wait.

Suz
The Spa was Clean and Welcoming and Enrique was lovely. But after having my Brazilian w/landing strip I realized that the strip is completely off center (came home and waxed myself to correct) and there is quite a bit of hair left near the back door. The main area is fine and he was quite fast and lovely to speak to. Possibly the other places I have been just do a larger area on the bum. I recommend highly, just make sure everything is done to your specification before you leave.

Candice Jackson
Enrique is the BEST! I had the Micro Groovy Facial and my skin feels clean, clear and super smooth! Loved the arm and shoulder massage too! This is a MUST HAVE service!
Feb 22, 2010
Carl Horton
Face to Face nyc was extremely friendly and the masseuse I had (Tim, I believe) wasn't afraid to really work out the kinks. He found knots I didn't even know I had. It was really brilliant.

FoHi Mama
I had a great first time at Face to Face. Diane was experienced, kind and welcoming. The treatment was wonderful, and she even sent a follow up postcard. Nice touch. I'll definitely go back and recommend to my friends.

Enrique gave me a terrific 30 minute massage and it was exactly what I needed. He is very friendly without being too talkative. I would highly recommend Face to Face.

AH Mazing, I went from being a 22 yr old to feeling like a smooth 12 yr old. lol . Enrique was great, made me feel very comfortable and for being a first time waxer the pain was very minimal. I'll be returning to maintain the awesomeness and my bf has been convinced to become a "smooth operator" too.
Feb 15, 2010
Happy Client
Professional, service, environment were all top notch. would definitely go back

Shanice
I had the pleasure of getting a full leg and brazilian from Enrique. He is relatable enough to (pleasantly) distract you from the pain. He also makes sure all the hair is gone and that you are happy with the end result as well as the process during. I love the way the spa is set up. I was greeted with pleasant smiles and it has a very personable atmosphere. I appreciate not feeling like a number on a ticket. Enrique, I will see you soon!

I have been seeing Enrique for several years and not only is he fully engaged and authentic , but he does a consistently excellent facial. I recommend all my friends to "Face to Face" and it has become my reliable source for gift cards that never seem to disappoint.
Jan 22, 2010
Steve S.
I signed up for the combination: a facial and back massage. I arrived at 4p and didn't leave until 7p. In between I was pampered and treated to a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Enrique is a pro and knows what he is doing! The massage was wonderful. He found all of my knots and worked them free. Then he went to work giving me a spectacular facial. I loved being pampered and left feeling like I had an experience I will want to repeat many times in teh future.

Phil Socci
I was thoroughly pleased with my sugaring experience at face to face with Enrique. The process was as painless as it could possibly be and he was nothing short of professional. It certainly doesn't hurt that he is sweet as can be and a pleasure for the eyes. I look forward to my next trip back - maybe I will treat myself to a massage too!

Salvatore is a great skin care specialist, very professional, and thorough. He makes a painful process seem fast and easy. The atmosphere is also clean and soothing.
Dec 29, 2009

I have always wanted a massage that focuses on back and neck - without the therapist having to repeat the back and neck repertoire to fill the hour. I had the back-to-back massage and it was phenomenal! My therapist was Emmanuel and I will undoubtedly go back regularly! Nice atmosphere, wonderful service!
Dec 13, 2009
JB
It was first time getting waxed and the positive reviews I read about F2F and Enrique were spot on. It was a wonderful experience: from my initial greeting to the professionalism displayed by Enrique. The waxing itself wasn't 100% pain-free, but it was absolutely nothing close to what I had anticipated. I'll definitely be returning.
Dec 11, 2009

As a regular client, I always expect the best and recieive the best attention the staff has to offer. I reccommend the spa to all my friends., They are the best!

I am a very discerning man and I've scoured spas in all Manhattan and nobody is better than Enrique. Thank you for being so great and impeccable at what you do.

Very thorough extractions yet very relaxing...my skin looks and feels really clean. The boot camp facial is the best for skin prone to excess oil and blackheads. I don't mind going all the way from Philly to NYC for this. Totally worth it.

I regularly get brazilian waxes with Diane and she's the best. I am always completely satisfied with her service. I got my first brazilian wax a couple years ago and have been hooked since.

Finally booked an appt. at face to Face, been wanting to for a long time. Got a massage from Tim and I have to say, one of the best i EVER had! and I have had a lot. Will be back soon!

I've been to several spas in this city and this one is without a doubt one of the best. Great service, spotlessly clean, incredibly relaxing. I will definitely go back and will send my friends there.

I found out about Face to Face's Autumn Rub through Time Out NY's coverage of Spa Week. I signed up for it, and when I got there, there was no signage for the spa on the outside of the building. I got a 60 minute massage, not an Autumn Rub. Not sure where the miscommunication happened. Masseur seemed rushed, massage was okay (I've had better). Receptionist was flighty.
Oct 13, 2009
David Matesanz
Saw Ken for the spa week autumn special - thought I might get an ok massage on special - probably the best massage I've ever had. I will definitely come back and highly recommend it.

Got the "smooth operator" from Enrique this time. My ususal, Jamie,was unavailbale that day. Enrigue is gentle, thorough and charming. My skin feels incredible! Thanks.

This is my second time with Emmanuel. I went in with pretty bad neck and shoulder pain, & felt relaxed and refreshed at the end of the massage. Very friendly and professional.

S.O.
I have gone to other salons in the area and this is by far the best. After coming to F2F about 5 times I tried another salon (Randee Elaine) and, while cheaper, the service wasn't even close to what you receive here. I will never stray away again! You get what you pay for.

Mikey Rox
Face to Face NYC is hands-down the best spa experience I've had in the city. The prices are reasonable, the ambiance is calm and welcoming, and the staff is always friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and I highly recommend Face to Face to anywhere who needs a relaxing retreat!
Sep 8, 2009
Paul Ennis
Went to face to face nyc for the first time yesterday, what an amazing experience. The atmosphere is comforting and relaxing from the minute you open the door. I chose the stress buster massage and left the spa feeling better and more alive then I had in months! I will definitely be returning to experience more of the spa's offerings in the near future!

When you first enter, the receptionist greets you usually by your name....very nice. Atmosphere is relaxing and tranquil. Enrique is very professional ...I generally fall asleep during my treatment, it's that relaxing. I have also used Salvador, who also is great. Been going since the place opened and it's never a disappointment.
Aug 26, 2009
Chris
Highly recommended. Salvador is friendly and quick and professional. He puts you at ease if it's your first wax. The spa overall has a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Most of all, it's clean.

Very quick and painless waxing with Sal, who is professional and friendly. The spa overall has a pleasant atmosphere and never seems crowded. Good times!
Aug 24, 2009
Jessica Stoller
Salvador made me feel completely comfortable, despite never having gotten a wax from a male before and going in quite. It was the most painless and complete wax I've gotten in new york! The only downside is the price, but I will definitely go back as soon as my budget allows. Highly recommended!
Aug 20, 2009
Judy Pinto
I've been coming to Enrique for years. He's the best. Small boutique spa with a warm welcome. A relaxed atmosphere and a great massage. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Highly recommend to everyone. You leave walking on air.

sam cahn
The second I walked in, I felt the calming energy of the spa. From the customer service when I arrived to the actual massage itself, I felt relaxed and comfortable. Enrique is such a wonderful person and has such a calming energy about him. I've been a dancer for 18 years and am incredibly picky about who I allow to work on my body. I feel very comfortable with Enrique's experience and knowledge of the body. Face to face is such an amazing place. I highly recommend it to anyone!
Aug 7, 2009
Angel
face to face is truly a unique place. Wonderful treatment and such a comfortable and nice environment. I was there for a waxing session and a dirty hair cut... All I can say is that Enrique is such a careful person, he makes you feel so relaxed, easy and comfy, and I don't know how he does it, but you never feel the tiniest pain... Everyone should wax with him! The results are great and long lasting! He gets exactly what you want and that is great. Amazing place, the best in NYC!
Jul 24, 2009
Mike
I've been getting weekly massages for the past 15 years and I can honestly say that Enrique's massage was the single best massage treatment I have ever received. I booked the 100 minute session, which I feared would be too long. It was not. Just perfect.
Jul 20, 2009
Michael Macko
I've been to a lot of spas and salons over the years and Salvador is the best waxer in the city, hands down. He's a true professional and I wouldn't go to anyone else. I recommend him highly.

alejandro saralegui
Just back from a relatively painless body waxing with Salvador. totally comfortable and relaxing despite what one might expect. Salvador is a nice friendly guy and the consumate professional who enjoys his work and does a great job.

Billy Chiarucci
This is the place to go for the ultimate waxing. It was totally painless. Enrique is a true professional. He is a perfectionist! He also takes pride in his work. Face to Face NYC is the place to go. You need to try this Spa for the excellent services that they offer. I can't wait to go back!

Alyssa LeWinter
I have been getting facials for 25 years including in some of world's most popular and highly touted spas. NO ONE is like Enrique. His technique and the products he uses are outstanding. People always ask me what work I've had done, I proudly tell them about the incredible facials they can get at Face to Face NYC to achieve a glowing and healthy look. The atmosphere is tranquil and very private. Go make an appt. and be thrilled by the experience.
Jun 28, 2009
Scott Birone
I have been to many different spas for waxing. II must say Face to Face is the BEST I been to.. When Enrique waxes you...It is pain free.. ..I will be back!!
Jun 14, 2009
Matthew Earle
I'm very discerning when it comes to massages. I'm quite good at massaging myself, and I spent a summer in Beijing getting a full-body three times a week. Ken at Face to Face gave me the best massage I've ever received. He was sensitive to my body and responses, never needing to be told to work more on a particular area. I would go back in a second.
Jun 13, 2009
Douglas Jack
Enrique uses long, smooth strokes which helped me to relax by the end of the session. Occasionally his pressure was too hard (on bone), and he reduced this when I asked. I was pleased with his professionalism and with the atmosphere of the clinic. The two aspects I would like to see happen differently are: 1. Enrique was 10 minutes late, without explanation, so he loses points there; and 2. He neglected to talk with me very much upfront to understand my pain and session goals.
Jun 11, 2009
Facial Fan
I got my facila from enrique and I have to say it was really good. I usually try to get facial once a month. This one was little different as they dont use steam but it was actually better then getting steam which is sometimes to hot. Facial was very good and lots of extractions as thats how is prefer it. Intially had some problems with the appointment as I had to reschedule it twice due to a emergency but later it worked out ok. Enrique's hands are really good. Would recommend it .
Jun 11, 2009

I am now a regular customer of Enrique! He is wonderful. Professional and friendly, he puts you totally at ease. Soothing music and minimalistic design add to experience. Highly recommend all the services of Face to Face.

I'd go back any day but my waxing needs are met by bi-monthly visits. Great professional space, friendly staff and skilled hands. I've sent a bunch of my buddies here for tune-ups.

I recently had a massage at face-to-face, and felt re-energized afterwards. The staff is very professional, and make you feel welcome. I would definitely return again.

I have been going to Diane for over a year and each time I get waxed it's great. She is so professional, funny and the wax is as painless as a Brazilian can be! Highly Recommend Diane for your waxing needs.

The staff is very friendly and professional. The quality for service is out of this world. From waxing to messages you cannot go wrong…In other words…They will spoil you...

Enriques always gives me the utmost attention and service with a wonderful friendly attitude. Face to Face is where I feel comfortable having intimate body work done!! I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed!!

The massage was great, definitely would recommend to any friends and family, however I did notice that I could hear horns beeping occasionally, thankfully it was not as noticable.

I found Face to Face by doing an online search- I knew I needed a clarifying facial for my breakout prone skin. I happened upon Face to Face and their salon pictures/ photo shoot caught my eye! I booked with Enrique and it was a great experience complete with relaxing massage and deep cleaned skin. I'm from out of town, but I'll definitely be stopping in whenever I'm in NYC.
Apr 22, 2009
Ewerton Garcia
Living in NY is very stressful, you gotta take a moment to spend some good time in you time to time to get the NY craziness out of your skin! I did and I really enjoy. I had the body and facial treatment and it was the best. The massage I got was so good that at some point I felt that the table was hugging me for being so relaxed. The facial that I got I can tell that I feel better when I look myself at the mirror now. I will definitely have it on my calendar for future appointments.
Apr 14, 2009
adele greene
cons: the receptionist didn't spell my name correctly in my email, so I didn't get the confirmation email and I got charged for the facial I booked. The floors are noisy, I heard background noise during the massage, and the room was cold. pros: The massage therapist was OK, but she used her elbows after I asked her not to I've had much better massages in my own area

Rudy Scott
I had my first waxing experience with Jamie and he was great. I was completely comfortable and it didn't really hurt at all, which was totally contrary to what I was expecting. I'll definitely be back for future rounds. And the facial I had was as good as they always are...my face always feels like it's actually breathing whenever I leave here.

my best friend & i took the day off...and went to f2f spa to have some treatments...upon entering the owner greeted me, i filled out a short registration form in a plush waiting room...one of the hosts/staff asked if i would like a beverage...very gracious....then i was walked to massage room...the entire facility is clean...sparkling w/ candles..i felt @home...the treatment began..i got a 1.5 hr massage and a facial..all in the same room...music was tranquil...service was quite professional

Had a fantastic waxing experience with Enrique. He was completely professional and managed to make me feel completely at ease even when working in sensitive areas. I am definitely headed back to try more of the services they offer.

The place is a bit hidden but exhibits a feeling of peacefulness and privacy. It is small and not large providing a feeling of coziness. The people are nice and very welcoming - top notch friendliness. You won't even realize you're in new york. The techniques used are of skill...unlike some places you will not get burns or see the result of flakiness of the skin. hope this review helped. =]

Jason VandeVen
Freshman facial ~ I feel like a Fresh Man! Years wereliterally removed from face so that whn I walked out I felt 10 years younger! The entire experience was delivered with expert advice and calm confidence in an atmosphere of tranquility that is frankly difficult to find elsewhere in NYC.Thank-you for my new face!
Dec 22, 2008
David M.
Got the "smooth operator, " and it feels fantastic! Jamie did a super job and was very friendly. The process was entirely painless but more thorough than I've gotten anywhere else. I plan to get some of the anti-aging treatments offered, but meanwhile, my new smooth skin feels 20 years younger.
Dec 20, 2008
Greg J.
I had a South of the Border waxing from Enrique and I must say that he made my first waxing experience as easy as he could. The service was great from the door. Andrea was very welcoming and the environment was conducive me feeling at ease. I would recommend this place to anyone, male or female, in search of a clean atmosphere and a calm ambience for their skin care needs.

A very nice comfortable relaxing atmosphere will prepare you for the best skin care treatment you can possibly get in New York; I highly recommend Salvador!

Overall a great experience, friendly and comfortable ambiance. I had a full back waxing from Salvador, and he was excellent, very fast and minimal pain. Will definitely go back.

Enrique made me feel great! I had the best facial of my life, and the whole experience was so peaceful I fell asleep about 3 times. The whole staff was very friendly, and the location is both central and intimate. Looking forward to next time!

Charlie Stagnitti
I was given a massage by Enrique as a birthday present. I have had many massages in my life and I will have to say that Enrique's bodywork was near perfect. Great touch-just the right amount of pressure. The only change I would make is some message to chest and stomach. Other staff were very nice, too!!

Brent Corrigan
A friend offered to come be a guest at Face to Face. Normally I'm not a spa person, so right away I was a little reluctant. I was offered treatments like waxing and anal bleaching, but did ultimately choose to go with a simple facial. Next time I will surely be more open to trying some of the more drastic procedures ;-) Enrique is very polite, professional and thorough. The place was small, personal yet very clean. I can't wait to come back!

Finally a facial that goes beyond the fancy creams and masks and really gets the dirt out of one's pores. My face feels really clean and I have no insightly bruises or peeling after the facial despite having sensitive skin. Will definitely come back.

Massuer was very effective, paid close attention to areas of the neck and shoulder that I had mentioned were bothering me. Felt much better after session.

From the private setting to the relaxing environment no detail is left out. Get your body ready for the weekend, very professional full body male waxing. I have never been so smooth in places my boyfriend loves to go.

In for a fifth time, this place is addictive. The personnel are superb. Each time, I leave calmed and soothed, whether body scrub or facial. An experience to relive.

This is my 3rd time at face to face nyc . And as always what a superb service from the receptionist to the facial and massage session with Enrique. I'm definitely going back for more appointments.

My skin feels great. I was so stressed after a long day, it was exactly what I needed. Heading to the Spa should be a required part of Marathon Training.

Just what the Doctor ordered. A massage that had me walking with a relaxed gait through the city streets that are anything, but. I seldom have the time to truely take care of myself... i didn't have to... the staff did that for me.

The best massage I have ever had. A wonderful, relaxing place. Enrique performs magic on your body while soothing your mind. A small environment with personalized treatment. You don't walk away. You float.

My masseuse was fat and weak I went for a deep tissue and got a horrible weak ass rub down. This is an undercover happy ending spa avoid like herpes.

Everything Enrique does is with incredible professionalism. His facials are the best i have ever had and his attention to detail is unparalled. Waxings are never painless but he convinces you they are and he is almost right. Again his attention to detail, who know hair grew in places he waxes and no i am not even thinking of the obvious. And then to top it off, the staff's massages are a perfect ending. Face to Face is a lucky find.

Althought it is not one of the biggest spas, it is definitely very New York and comforting. The past few times I have gone, the massages have fantastic. It is a bit pricier than others and I wish they had a frequent guest program like some others. Besides, any place that offers wine to its customers, is good for me!

Enrique made the whole experience 'smooth' and painless. I was suprised, and now I'm hooked! No more razors! It really adds to the convenience of not having to deal with more frequent maintenance that shaving requires...

It is my 3rd visit and I always am impressed by their friendliness and welcoming attitude. A little oasis in Manhattan run by professionals who deliver the best value for great treatments!

I started going to Face to Face at the recommendation of a friend for waxing. They were at a different location and just getting off the ground. Even with expansion and getting insanely busy, they still make me feel special. I have gotten waxing and massage and plan to get a facial at some point. Enrique and Diane are both amazing (I'm sure everyone else is, too - I just haven't had them) and I can't imagine going anywhere else!

Being in the personal service industry, I have a higher than average standard for salons. I tend to be harder to please. Therefore it is great to unconditionally recommend Enrique's facials. I was greeted politely when I arrived, offered a glass of wine, taken on schedule, pampered during the treatement and felt great afterward. I can't wait to go back!

I have been coming to Face2Face for many years. I have enjoyed many services including waxing, massages, and facials, and always had the best experience with every single person who works there. From customer service, attitude and ambiance of the spa to the highest quality in treatments, you can never go wrong with Enrique and his excellent crew!!!!

i've been twice now and enrique gives a fantastic (i.e. meticulous, doesn't miss a thing...not one) brazilian wax. it's a cute little place with great ambience, and it's nice and clean. i've already sent one friend there and highly recommend it to everyone. though i haven't had any other services, i assume it would all be great.

Other customer reviews

Facials:

Youth Awakening Facial:
"Enrique was thorough with the facial and made several recommendations for future skincare. I felt like he was focused on my facial, not distracted, and was attentive to my skin's needs.”

Super 02 Facial:
“I always come to Enrique at face to face for the quality of care that leaves my skin glowing after weeks of exhaustion and neglect have taken its toll.”

Boot Camp Facial:
“The facial was not only amazing, but she really listened to what I wanted done, and didn't push too hard on trying to sell product or add-ons. A few days later, I received a hand written thank you for coming in. I am definitely going back here.”
Massages & Body Treatments:
Back to Back Massage:
“Enrique! Those hands! Face-to-Face is right next to my office, which was super convenient. The place is quiet and peaceful (except for the squeaking floors - it's an old building) - Enrique's massage was so relaxing, and so amazing that I fell right to sleep. But it felt great-i would highly recommend it.”

Slimming Body Wrap:
“Very friendly staff, nice clean spa, tiny but functional, great treatment...I'm very pleased with the experience.”

Lymphatic Drainage:
“Enrique is wonderful! My massage/lymphatic drainage really helped reduce the appearance of cellulite! I've booked with them since and am very happy with the results.”

Massage without Borders:
“Great massage. I was in a lot of pain when I walked in and it did the trick. Not for the faint of heart or the shy. They will work your glutes, hamstrings and abductors with pressure points. It is definitely much more "intimate" than stretches, but works so much better.”
Women's Waxing:
Full Leg & Bikini:
"I had the pleasure of getting a full leg and brazilian from Enrique. He is relatable enough to (pleasantly) distract you from the pain. He also makes sure all the hair is gone and that you are happy with the end result as well as the process during. I love the way the spa is set up. I was greeted with pleasant smiles and it has a very personable atmosphere. I appreciate not feeling like a number on a ticket. Enrique, I will see you soon!"

Complete Brazilian:
“Diane was professional and friendly. I love women who can share a pleasant conversation while working on you and she did just that. I was also offered a bottle of water when I entered the place -- which was awesome. The place is clean, serene and private. I loved it and will totally be returning.”
Men's Waxing:
Crackdown:
“This was my first time waxing anything, and it was not nearly as painful/uncomfortable as I thought. I didn't realize Enrique started after he removed the first patch of wax. He was quick yet very thorough.”

Smooth Operator:
“I had a smooth operator with Sal today. Sal was very professional and a great conversationalist. I felt very comfortable and loved my results. I will definitely return!”
