Faina European Skin Care Center and Day Spa
New York, New York
Julie Register visited this day spa in August, 2001
*Faina
European Skin Care Center and Day Spa, located in midtown
Manhattan on 57th Street, offers a large variety of European beauty
treatments for the face and body. Faina, a native of Moscow, was
trained in Russia. She has a deep understanding of skin and its
needs. She holds a four-year nursing degree and studied as an
esthetician for an additional year. Faina moved her spa to its
current location on Feb 1, 2001 in order to expand. The new facility
has six rooms including a steam shower and six estheticians working
there (Marianna, Faina, Lia, Natalie, and Faina). Decleor, Glymed,
Ella Bache, Cellex C, and Karen Herzog-oxygen, and Paule of Vienna
among others are product lines sold in the retail area. Additionally,
Faina makes her own blend of acne treatment which she sells all
over the world.
I visited Faina in August after attending
a business luncheon in New York City. I had a European Facial
which I found very relaxing. My skin felt great afterwards. It
was recommended that I get in a routine of having a facial every
4-6 weeks. Here are the steps to the facial:
-
Makeup removed, skin cleaned,
and skin examined
-
Face massaged to improve circulation,
improve the complexion, prevent lines and wrinkles, strengthen
facial muscles with the added bonus of being relaxing.
-
Face steamed for 10 minutes to
open pores (sometimes herbs are used in the steam to treat
specific problems, but not in the steam I had)
-
Pores deep cleaned by extracting
whiteheads and blackheads
-
Mask applied to tighten pores
-
Honey applied to lips while mask
set up "to make soft the lips"
-
Mask applied to nourishes the
skin (specific type depends on what the skin needs - can be
apricot or peach or collagen)
-
Arms and hands massaged while
mask set up
-
Oil applied to skin to hydrate
-
Moisturizer applied
-
Eye cream applied
Getting an appointment with Faina
(the owner) can be a challenge. She has a long list of devoted
clients, some of which have been with her for 23 years. However,
she has personally trained the other estheticians in order to
offer consistent treatment quality.
Faina European Skin Care Center and
Day Spa has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine,
Allure, Self, Manhattan Spirit, and Bride Magazine.
