Joanna Vargas Skin Care

Joannas signature treatment that started it all. A unique combination of microdermabrasion, microcurrent, and oxygen-infused therapy to refine, lift, and tone your skin. The immediately visible results are smooth, firm, youthful-looking skin with a radiant glow. Every session triggers collagen and elastin production for immediately visible results and cumulative benefits over time.

An exclusive combination of radio frequency and controlled heat reenergizes collagen cells to tighten, tone, and sculpt on contact. The most effective non-invasive treatment for instant lift, skin becomes more resilient, radiant, and youthful with each treatment.

Using medical-grade oxygen plump and hydrate skin, this rejuvenating facial gently erases dull skin and fine lines to leave skin silky smooth with a renewed radiance. This facial delivers instant gratification and improves clarity, texture, and tone with regular treatments.

A clarifying treatment that calms reactive skin on the deepest levels. A gentle yet thorough cleansing with plant enzymes and sea minerals removes dead cells, excess residue, and environmental build-up to combat breakouts and erase any trace of a dull, lackluster complexion. This facial shrinks pores and refines skin texture resulting in a renewed glow.

The ultimate resurfacing treatment to transform your skin. A multi-step process that combines a diamond peel, LED light and pure oxygen therapies, and an organic detox mask to eliminate dead skin cells, pull out impurities, and supercharge your skins natural healing abilities for a flawless complexion.

I came here and got the triple crown facial. This is their most well known facial and I did enjoy my results after receiving the service. There was a couple important things to note about this facial. #1 There are no extractions with this facial. #2 This facial is focused around the benefits of oxygen and electrical stimulation. #3 My redness has gone down. However, my pores are still a little congested.

I only gave it 4 stars because I feel like it should have extractions. The questionnaire asks if you have any health related issues to help target the facial to your needs. I think this is nice but I don't really appreciate when estheticians try to tell me things about my health when I did not inquire for information. It is okay to mention things with good intent and it did not bother me but I would be careful with presumptions and making people promises.

That could have made me very uncomfortable and I don't want anyone who walks in there for facial to feel this way. This is nothing personal, just the nature of spa. I want to relax not be told what to do with my health. Even if I am welcoming about it, someone else might take extreme offense.

Such a wonderful experience with Monica. She looked at my horribly broken out plane skin and give it an overhaul in an hour and a half. Top of the line tools and care. Sad to see some not so happy reviews - it was 10/10!

These people tried charging me $360 for an appointment I never confirmed and asked to cancel with 22.5 hours notice (instead of 24). Their facials are okay but incredibly overpriced. Go somewhere else. And in response to Cesar. Sure, bud. Your idea of high class and quality must be very different. You have the audacity to say you're UNDER PRICED? LOL! Hilarity ensues.

Elena is a magician! No matter which facial I get, I come out looking tighter, fuller and with a glow. It's my splurge and worth every dime. The front desk is inviting, calming and attentive. The rooms are cozy and luxurious. I never leave without planning my next visit!

I bought a package valued at over $1k and had been consistently going to my appointments. I needed to reschedule 1 appointment due to a last minute family emergency (a family member suddenly gravely ill in the ICU and I had to leave the state) but because I called to cancel 4 hours after their cancellation deadline (I was on a plane before), they still credited the package and would not let me reschedule.

Ultimately I understand that they were following their policy and the service was good in general. However, my experience showed me that this business only cares about their bottom line and treats the customer as just walking $ instead of people. Go somewhere else where people care about you!

Excellent facial! Based off of the reviews, thank goodness for them, I'd recommend upgrading to get the master service for a true Joanna Vargas experience that celebs get!

Great salon. Don't cancel. They charge you the FULL amount! OUCH! Even if you are driving around trying to find parking and can't find any available lots in busy midtown! They will charge you the $250 or so for the missed appointment! So pathetic. I can see charging the full amount if you actually have your own parking! But they don't!

Some of the best facials. The experience is always very good with very thorough and nice estheticians. I always leave with glowy, hydrated skin and lasting results!

I received a triple-crown facial from Marina Montoya. I am beyond thrilled by the results. She is a master at her craft; and took care of my skin with care and precision. I also enjoyed our conversation - her energy is authentic and kind-hearted. Overall, my experience was A+! I would highly recommend her!

The spa is nice. Very well decorated. The LED part of my facial was rushed and as an add on it should feel worth the extra cost. This place is great for a pick me up in terms of standard facials. Cute splurge

Anastasia is amazing, I do the Twilight and Triple Crown facials with her and have seen a noticeable difference. She is super sweet, never upsells, and always gives great advice. She does a really nice job analyzing your skin and recommending post-facial care routines, and is also just a lot of fun to talk to! I always leave feeling great, highly recommend to anyone looking for a facialist you can trust long-term.

I had the triple crown facial and it was, without a doubt, the best facial I've had. Definitely worth the price. Can't wait to come back.

I haven't had a facial since the beginning of Covid, my face was irritated and dehydrated. Valentina did a phenomenal job! My face is glowing and I feel brand new! She was gentle, professional and kind. She made the experience so pleasant! I already have my next session with her scheduled. I highly recommend!

The facial was adequate. Nothing special but not bad either. The cost is in the higher middle range. However the aesthetician had a terrible attitude. She was openly hostile, aggressive and attempted to shame me regarding frequency of facials in the recent past. She actually said "I don't know what you expect from me, I can't work miracles " and a few other juicy comments to that effect BEFORE the treatment had even started! Not conducive to relaxation. I've had many facials over 40+ years. This was by far the worst experience ever. My advice to this salon: teach your aestheticians some manners.

Ariana is friendly and attentive to my specific skin care needs. I have a long history with eczema and she always selects the right products and makes appropriate treatment recommendations so my skin feels calm and relaxed rather than angry and irritated. While she does educate me on products that may have beneficial qualities for my skin, she is not a product pusher. I always look forward to the next facial, not only because how my skin looks and feels afterwards but because it is an overall lovely experience.

I feel like words couldn't possible do Shane of Joanna Vargas the justice he deserves. I've been going to Shane for about two years now, and my skin simply has not stopped glowing. I have combination skin that is quite sensitive and prone to congestion. Every time I've gone to an esthetician at other salons, my skin always had some sort of reaction to products used or general flare ups post treatment (not to mention being pushed products that are expensive and not meant for my skin type). Shane revamped my skincare routine and gave me a glow I couldn't achieve with even the biggest of Sephora hauls.

His in depth knowledge and attention to detail makes him a reliable and obvious choice. Every experience I've had at JV has been nothing short of amazing, and Shane is my top pick by far. After my 3rd facial with him I decided that he'll be my go to, so much so, that I'm debating flying from NYC to the LA location for some sun and a facial by Shane. My only advice: if he has an opening, book it. His calendar fills up abnormally fast.

Lovely waiting area (which you can't use now because of covid 19) and if you are a first timer (or super VIP's I assume) they use a gorgeous big room but once you buy their package you will never see that spacious beautiful room ever again. Their triple crown to me weirdly dries out my sensitive combination skin so I really can't recommend. Super nova is indeed very nice but at whopping $325 I would never get it again (maybe for some very special occasion?) since there are just as good ones out there at a cheaper price. Staff are all extremely nice (front desk/estheticians) and they don't give you too much sales pressure which I like. Joanna Vargas products are all pretty good quality too.

I went into JV this week for a facial with Gabrielle. I cannot say enough good things about my experience! The spa in general was taking all necessary precautions (sanitizing stations, temp checks, closed waiting area) to make any client feel safe. I have had several facials at this location, but it was my first time seeing Gabrielle. She was extremely warm to be around and beyond knowledgeable. I wasn't sure which facial to book, so we had an in-depth consultation and I trusted her judgement to choose whatever my skin would need. Gabrielle gave the most relaxing facial that and also offered product recommendations, but was in no way pushy. I would highly recommend seeing Gabrielle for your next visit!

I've been struggling with acne and scarring for a couple of years. I've tried everything from different spas, products, dermatologists and nothing worked until I met Anastasia. I started seeing a difference after only a month of working with her. Anastasia genuinely loves what she does and has her clients' best interests at heart. She not only recommends the best facials for you but takes the time to ensure you're doing everything correctly at home to further your results.

My skin has not felt nor looked this good in yearsss! Some of the facials I've done are Triple Crown and Oxygen Purifying. We recently started the Twilight treatment for the scarring and I can't wait to see my end results!

I just had a Triple Crown Facial with Anastasia and my fifth Led Light Bed session and I had a wonderful experience! I was in Asia for almost three weeks and as it was mostly a work trip, I barely had time to wash my face and my skin felt dull and exhausted. Anastasia took a look at my skin and actually complimented it (yay!), but also suggested what I can do to improve my skin quality and increase its vitality.

My face felt lifted and plump after the facial and I honestly don't need to wear any makeup! I have to add that I do use Joanna Vargas Super Nova serum with retinol, the masks and just got a Face wash as well, and the products along with a proper care and an occasional facial will do wonders. I work in the PR industry and get a lot of beauty products for free to try, but Joanna Vargas is one of the only one I use religiously and trust. No wonder, so many celebrities come to this salon when they are in New York. The service, the decor, the products. everything is just creme de la creme :)

Excellent service. This and a spironolactone prescription fixed my skin! I go every 6 weeks religiously for an oxygen facial and love the service, attention to detail and all over good vibes. It's an excellent place. the pictures speak for themselves. I recommend Shane and Audrey- But all of their esthetician's are great! You won't be disappointed!

I managed to snag an appointment with Anastasia today and she did not disappoint! I received the Triple Crown Facial that included microcurrents and Joanna's exfoliant that felt amazing. If you're new to skin care and don't want to feel judged, or a pro who knows what they're looking for, Anastasia is the one for you.

I had an Oxygen Purifying Facial here and it was amazing. The whole process consisted of a microdermabrasion, peel, extraction, face mask and oxygen facial. My skin looked amazing after the facial. the micro deem abrasion removed all my dull skin. The extraction removed all the gunk and sebum in my pores and now my nose looks smooth and poreless. The redness on the side of my face as well as the acne between my brows are significantly reduced as well.

My favorite part was the oxygen facial! It was so cooling and refreshing. I saw a difference in my skin almost immediately! It was brighter and had a glow to it. I will definitely be coming back here!

This is the first time I've been here and it was honestly an amazing facial. I had Marina do my oxygen purifying facial and I opened my eyes to an amazing glow to my face. If you ever come here, ask for Marina. She will give you amazing, glowing skin. Trust me, this is the best facial you will ever have. 'm so glad that I put my skin in her hands. Definitely would want to come back here.

The Vitamin C face wash does wonders. I have been using this for about 2 weeks and the horrible reoccurring acne on my forehead is gone! It really does a great job of removing the dirt and makeup, leaving my pores clean and preventing future breakouts. It doesn't dry out my skin and I see my natural glow returning. I can already tell I'll be using this face wash for years to come. I can't wait to try her other products!

Went for a triple crown facial with Asia. Was welcomed with a warm greeting, water, & warm tea from their front desk staff. They make you feel right at home! The facial itself was absolutely incredible! Loved the way the citrus mask smelled. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. I have been experiencing some pigmentation issues and she knew exactly how to address the problem. Very satisfied with my experience! Will definitely be back! I can't wait to try their other products!

I had a visit with Ulyana for a facial and power peel. I was having some inflammation from a breakout and some dryness on my forehead. The entire experience from checkin to checkout was very professional, relaxing, and I was able to see results immediately. The all organic products felt very calming and smelled great. The spa is beautiful with a spectacular view over Bryant Park. The front desk staff were very welcoming taking my coat and offering a drink. Great first impression. It's safe to say I've found my girl and place! So so happy with my experience at Joanna Vargas.

I was really excited to have my facial at Joanna Vargas Salon today. I really care about where I get my facials so it's important to me to do a little research before I go in. The entire experience was excellent. The salon looks very nice, the atmosphere was very calming. I had a triple crown facial with esthetician Anastasia. She has a very calming voice and gentle hands. She was telling all the details about the facial and how to take care of my face even better. As a busy mom this hour was well worth it. I will definitely come back.

I just left Joanna Vargas Skin Care and I feel TRANSFORMED. It was such a relaxing and informative experience. I got the Triple Crown Facial from Anastasia and I've never seen my skin look this great in my entire life. Not only was she professional and witty, she was informative throughout the process and taught me how to take care of my skin in between facials so I can continue working to improve my skin. I highly recommend this salon to anyone interested in taking control of their skin! A+++

I had such a wonderful experience at JVLA salon! Asia was so knowledgeable and gave me an outstanding facial! The facial was unlike any I have ever had. The treatment of microcurrent is great for anti aging and I love that it is natural which is great for my sensitive skin! I am so happy that I finally found a salon with superb treatments and would highly recommend it to everyone!

Being an actor requires care about physique and face. I discovered Triple Crown facial at Joanna Vargas salon and ever since my first facial I've been coming back on a monthly basis. Polite and professional staff will take care of you upon arrival. My facial specialist is Ulyana and I couldn't be happier with her. She took time to understand needs of my skin and results she delivers always leave me with WOW reaction. Her strong attention to detail leaves my face toned and my skin smooth and radiant, turning the time clock back. Highly recommended!

This place is awesome, I usually walk out of facials really red or oily but I walked out with a nice glow and I felt like all of my needs were addressed. Monica was amazing and I can't wait to go back! I already see a difference in my skin.
