Restore facialist still around

by lovestreatments25

So sad Restore Spa has closed its doors but the amazing Janis Chakler is still doing her awesome facials right next door. You can call her directly at 646-436-3518. She uses the same products and does the exact same facials she did at Restore. She really is the best at extractions. Thank goodness she is still around!!

• Pros: Still can get my awesome facials!!

Closed Its Doors

It's true. Unfortunately, Restore Spa, the best place for facials, nails and massages has closed its doors.

wonderful service, wonderful price!

by kpicinich

I went there for 90 minute massage and a 60 minute facial. I was a little skeptical at first since it's in a converted apartment, but BOY was I happily surprised! The place is tranquil, peaceful, and clean. The staff are friendly, and accommodating. My facial was great, left my skin feeling better than I can remember in a long, long time (including after several facials I've had recently). The massage was wonderful...I even nodded off a few times (the ultimate compliment!). Even though the tough knots in my back were being really worked, I didn't feel in pain at all.

Highly Highly recommended!!!!

• Pros: everything!
• Cons: it isn't near my new apartment :(

Amazing Facials

by ARS10016

I have been going to Janis at Restore for over a year now, and her facials are a monthly treat I always look forward to. I even had my mum get a facial here when she was visiting me from India! Janis' extractions are so gentle, and she never leaves a blemish or scab or anything, not even temporarily. I could get a facial and go out that very day, and my skin would glow. Trust me, this is huge -- I've been to a ton of palces which leave me sore and bumpy for a couple of days after painful extractions. Another great thing about Janis is that she never tries to push the products she has used on you. Most other spas try to get you to buy the masks and creams they sell, but Janis never pressures you at all. The whole experience is relaxing, serene, and working with Janis feels like you have your own personal expert who is looking out for you and your skin. The Really Radical Facial is a special treat you can try sometimes. And, a couple of co-workers swear by the massages at Restore. So, go check it out - you'll be glad you did.

• Pros: Ambience, Customer Service, Range of Services Offered
• Cons: None

Impeccable Service

by manamy

I have been to Restore Spa at least ten times in the last year and have always been happy. I recently moved to Brooklyn from the UWS but still make the trek to Restore - it is so worth the subway ride! I love the atmosphere - a small UWS unprententious setting yet still sleek and trendy. I appreciate the range of services and products the spa offers as well as Janice's breadth of knowledge and experience in the business. She clearly loves what she does and that is hard to find! I also love the specials Restore offers regularly on its website! Prices are reasonable, the staff is friendly and professional and the treatments are fantastic! I just sent one of my best friends and her fiance to Restore right before their wedding and they continue to go back! Restore keeps me coming back to the UWS!

• Pros: Staff, setting, breadth of treatments
• Cons: None
