dessert
100.0% positive
  1. Without pushing products on me, Robin recommended an acne medicine and face cream to me that has worked better than any other product that I've used since my teenage years.
food quality
0.0% positive
  1. Also, as a side note, my sister has extremely bad acne (very, very bad) and I had Robin chat with her for awhile about food and vitamins, etc. that could help her.
overall

  1. If you need a great brow shaping, brazilian or any body waxing this is the place to go!
  2. I'm not one to jump at a nice wrapping, so i searched around for reviews about this place, and there was nothing negative to be found!
service
92.8600025177002% positive
  1. Very good service!
  2. The amazing service & results are worth wayyyy more than anything some over-decorated over-hyped beauty salon could dole out.
  3. have even received compliments on my eyebrows - strange, I never thought people would compliment someone on the shape of their eyebrows.
  4. Some people have artistic gifts that are so impressive it's almost metaphysical.
  5. went to Robin once, and she far exceeded my expectations, and now I've been going to her for a few years - her service is amazing because she remembers what she has done in the past, and consistently puts them back into shape everytime I go there.
  6. While Robin herself is very friendly and does a good (but not great) job on shaping eyebrows, the customer service aspect is completely lacking.
  7. This is one of the few gems where the price is right (it's $95 for the facial instead of the $100+ every where else in this city charges) the service is everything you would expect (thorough and non-painful extractions and everyone is super friendly and a
  8. My skin is perfect and the staff and service is phenomenal.
  9. I've been all over this city for everything from bikini waxes to facials and can say that this salon will give you personal, friendly service, very good advice and GREAT eyebrows.
  10. Robin is so sweet and friendly which makes the experience very comfortable.
  11. Robin is friendly and professional, and took her time to do a great job.
  12. The owner, Robin Evans, is professional, highly experienced and provides you with a great service.
  13. Simply put, Robin is incredibly friendly, professional and an expert at shaping brows.
  14. Everyone in Robin Evans is so friendly and accomodating- the customer service is amazing and my brows have never looked better!

  2. Her prices are reasonable and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
  3. was tired of the over priced, stuffy salon I went to on 5th ave which did mediocre brows (even though it was written up in every magazine).
  4. have had my eyebrows done bad too many times and have spent a lot of money trying to find someone good that I can trust with my eyebrows.
  5. Before meeting Jimena, I recently was using a very well known brow place (which i won't name but was touted for best brows in the "2006 Best of NY Magazine"), but they decided to increase their brow shaping price from $35 to $70!
  6. The amazing service & results are worth wayyyy more than anything some over-decorated over-hyped beauty salon could dole out.
  7. Although I typically go to a manicure place around the corner for maintenance to save money, I go see Robin at least every few months and before special events for the perfect look.
  8. She really listens to you (what your needs are, any special concerns) and then will recommend a course of treatment that is perfect for you and goes beyond purchasing the most pricey moisturizer - I'm talking suggestions on makeup, diet, vitamins and life
  9. Also, the price (which is reasonable by NYC standards) is definitely worth the confidence that you will leave her studio with perfect brows.

Clean and serene facials

by bxlady at Citysearch

I love going to Gina for my facials. She is kind and thorough and very professional. There is a no nonsense feel to my appointments (no fawning or product pitches) yet at the same time I always leave feeling pampered and and restored. Robin Evan's prices are fair and there are regular "specials" offered that I always try to take advantage of. I trust them and I will keep going back

Gina will take the best care of you!

by katiebnyc at Citysearch

I've been going to Gina now for a couple of months for my waxing and she's fantastic!! Definitely takes the time to make sure every hair has been properly removed or in its proper place (she's an artist for sure). Eyebrows have never looked better-- and my skin (upper lip and chin) has never broken out once! Not only is she skilled, she's also the sweetest thing and I look forward to my appointments every few weeks! The place itself is small and very personable and not to mention very clean.

  • Pros: expert waxing
  • Cons: none that I can think of!

Flawless eyebrows

by vsminimoose at Citysearch

My eyebrows are perfect! Even my friend who doesn't notice much at all commented on my brows the other day. She managed to transform them with out taking much off at all (I like a strong looking brow). I'm very impressed and have found a new spot for brow tweezing. Customer for life.

  • Pros: Clean space and excellent results
  • Cons: Hard to get through on the phone

Top Facial in NY!!!

by chelsealocals at Citysearch

I recently went to Robin Evans for the first time, and I wish I had discovered her sooner! The space is lovely, open and bright and very clean. The assistant had me fill out a form with my basic info, allergies, etc. and Robin came and picked me up shortly after. The bed was sooo comfortable, the music perfect, and Robin was very nice and shared her holistic approach. The facial was thoroughly cleansing but also pampering, and Robin uses a great selection of natural skincare. My skin feels great! During my 10 years in NY, I have tried endless spas and salons, and this is by far at the top! Thanks so much!

  • Pros: Great facial, great space, friendly
  • Cons: None!

I'm in love and I don't care who knows it.

by Loveush86 at Citysearch

Since I was 14, I have been having my eyebrows done.(I'm now 22) I never really stuck with the same place, or person, and over time they became thinner and thinner, uneven, and a mess. I had tried to do them myself but that was a failure as well. I had reached my breaking point and decided not to touch my eyebrows, or let anyone else touch them, until I found the perfect place to go. After much deliberation, asking around, failed attempts at waxing appointments, I finally went to Google for help. I typed in "best eyebrow shaping in New York" and one of the tops hits? Robin Evans Skincare. I'm not one to jump at a nice wrapping, so i searched around for reviews about this place, and there was nothing negative to be found! I finally made my appointment, went in today, and my eyebrows look AMAZING. I can't even begin to explain how happy I am to find this place. It's perfectly priced, the place is clean, the receptionist was sweet, great atmosphere, very low key. Jimena, the artist who sculpted my eyebrows, obviously know what she is doing, hands down. On top of that, shes personable and full of life. I'm in love with this place, and I want the world to know! haha...

in all seriousness, there's no need to look any further! go to Robin Evans Skincare!!!!!!

  • Pros: Everything
  • Cons: Nothing?
