Best Permanent Makeup Artist in the city!!!!

by ruthr3

I am Asian and basically have no eyebrows! My friend convinced me years ago to get permanent makeup (tatooing). what a disaster!!! The shape was off and it turned this horrible blueish color over the years.

I was watching the Tyra Banks show (not something I regularly do I swear!) and she was interviewing this French makeup artist named Verika Seddik in NYC. So, I figured I would check her out. I was desperate.

Best decision I have ever made. My eyebrows look amazing now!!!!. The color and the shape are perfect. This woman is a true artist. She uses these natural pigments so they will fade over time and I will need a touch up. But this is why they look so natural now. She calls it micropigmentation. If you are in need of new eyebrows you must call this woman!!!! I plan on doing upper liner next. I am so excited.

• Pros: very professional, perfectionist
• Cons: hurt a little

best laser hair removal

by alexii

I had such a pleasant experience at this spa in regards to laser hair removal. i just finished a series of 6 with Elsa the spa's medical aesthetician. My hair is about 95% gone, no burns, fast response and Elsa made me feel so comfortable. There are so many laser hair removal factories in the city and so many horror stories. Medical aesthetics is a very private type of spa. They made me feel like I was very special.

• Pros: professional kind reasonably priced
• Cons: hurt a little

TRINITI Laser for total skin rejuvenation!!

by jadynl

I have been a loyal client of Dr. gerstman's for about 3 yrs now. i adore her. I have mostly been doing Botox and Retylane. But as time passed, I started noticing these tiny lines aroung my eyes and mouth and my cute little "freckles" were not so cute anymore.(I assume too many years in the sun!). Not bad enough that I needed a really aggressive treatment like the FRAXEL or something. But enough that i started obsessing!

So i signed up for Dr. G's Triniti program. Three lasers in three sessions and I am so happy! I did hurt a bit but it was really worth it. I was pink and blotchy after each session and my dark spots would get really dark. But with a little makeup i had no problem going to work the next day. For someone in their 30's or 40's who is starting to see signs up aging on their skin this program is the best. Yeah, Dr G!!

• Pros: innovate doctor, kind staff, reasonably priced services
• Cons: a little painful but worth it
