I am a self-proclaimed beauty junkie, and cannot count the facials I have had over the years at top spas (Bliss, Elizabeth Arden, Glow, Mario Badescu, etc.). but my experience at Tracie Martyn was the best by far. I scheduled my facial before a milestone birthday celebration and was very wary. My fears were put aside by the warm, welcoming staff and suprisingly cozy atmosphere. I was shown before and after pictures but really did not believe the authenticity until my facialist held up a mirror to my face midway in order for me to compare the treated side of my face to the untreated side. The difference was amazing. My face was less puffy, my cheekbones and jawline defined, and all my NYC stress was erased. The products (albeit pricey)smell divine and left my skin super smooth and soft. And they do not "hard sell" the products like every other spa in the city. I left looking 5 years younger and the results lasted nearly a week. As for snootiness, I was treated as well as the model-types in the waiting area, and when I learned the gratutity could not be put on a credit card, they were super-nice about me running out to an ATM and returning later. No attitude provided. My only complaint is that they do not do extractions, (which would be nice for the price one pays), but then again, this is not your "typical facial." Perhaps it is the most expensive facial in the city but it is worth every penny (if you can spare). Definitely believe the hype!
Pros: Amazing results, friendly staff, relaxing comfortable atmosphere.
Cons: Super -expensive, no extractions ( for the expensive price).
