Message from Maksim Spa

Maksim Spa

Intimate spa providing exceptional personalized service

  • Face and Body treatments
  • Specialize in Problem Skin
  • Pampering and Personalize Care

Maksim is an intimate spa devoted to providing exceptional personalized service in a relaxing atmosphere. Time is taken to properly assess each clients skin to develop an effective long-term relationship. Lena Makushina, the owner, wants each client to know they are being listened to and are offered real solutions.

What sets Maksim apart from other spas? "We work with difficult skin. Other places don't like to deal with clients with acne, because it's more time-consuming. I like the challenge. And I like to see the clients leave happy; which ensures us that they will always return, and they always do." Maksim offers a variety of services, including Facials, Peels, Microdermabrasion, Reflexology, Seaweed Body Wraps, Salt Scrubs, VascuTouch, Aqua Detox, and enjoyable Brazilian Waxing. All are performed in the spa's cheerful, sunlit space at 80 Fifth Avenue, steps away from Union Square.

Editorial Review for Maksim Spa – by Lori Fradkin

In Short
This tiny, two-room spa has learned to make the most of tight quarters--and your skin. Bright orange walls create a sunny atmosphere, reminding you that your skin should be bare-all-worthy year-round. Treatments include specialty back facials, airbrush tanning, spider vein reduction (even for odd spots like your nose), and smooth skin rejuvenation like a mineral salt, honey and hot oil treatment. Maksim-ize your visit by adding on thermal masks and enzyme peels.

Hey Y'all, Ladies, you have to go to Maksim Spa for all your treatments . They are the best at everything, they put you at ease for your first time waxing experience ever; and it was not as bad as i thought. After that i had the Eminence facial using only Eminence products and i can only sum it up in one word: AMAZING. The products smelled soo wonderful i wanted to eat it off my face, its a little intense, but at the end of the facial my skin felt and looked soo much better than when i walked in. I was refreshed and ready to take on the real world with my head held high. Yet, I was afraid of the dust that would greet me as i leave the building. They suggested products of which i purchased because i loved the facial soo much ( just to let you know there was no pressure into making a purchase). The Eminence facial is great for all skin types and for those with sensitive skin, she told me, as well as detoxifing the skin; and yes my face needed some of that. Overall the service was great and yes it is all true what i heard and read about Maksim Spa. I'll tell you they have some wonderful people working there. :)

Pros: they are professional and know their stuff

Cons: the treatment was not long enough- I did not want to leave

This is the best facial in the city! I always feel so pampered and relaxed when I leave, and my skin is getting better and better. I now get compliments from people about how good my skin looks. I was feeling a little tired today so, I had a special stimulating facial today. It was tingly and different. I really felt revived! They are experts at Maksim. You must go!

Pros: European trained expert estheticians. Very comfortable atmosphere. Convenient location.

Cons: Too much perfection sometimes.
