What People Are Saying About Artista Llc

Featured Review

Sandra Ramani

Contributor

The Atmosphere – Spread out over 4,000 square feet, Artista's tall windows look out onto trendy lower Fifth Avenue. Inside, however, the space is decidedly attitude-free. People casually hang out near the beverage bar, chat by the reception desk or venture inside the Mehndi Tent, where temporary henna tattoos are applied. The dimly-lit treatment rooms and bathrooms flicker with candlelight, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. – – The Treatment – Artista services include hair cuts, styles and color, manicures, pedicures, waxing, electrolysis, facials and body massage.…

Best pedicure

by greeksandal

After reading such mixed reviews, I was a little nervous booking an appt here, but it's so convenient to my office, I had to try it. The salon is beautiful. And I got a fantastic pedicure from Basia. She is really nice, and really efficient! I got a thorough treatment without feeling rushed. The pedi room seats two so next time, I will bring a friend, for sure.

worst facial

by kjig667

i had the worst facial experience here. The facialist even had to check her chart/notes to explain to me what's wrong with my skin etc. not professional or knowledgeble enough. pretty bad extraction job, after the facial i only felt that i've wasted money on nothing. my skin is the same before and after the facial.

  • Pros: atmosphere
  • Cons: unprofessional service

Never again

by violetkoba

I stopped into Artista for a quick fringe trim. I wear my bangs long and in my eyes and get them trimmed all the time. Around the city it usually costs me about $12 bucks at most. A 3 minute fringe trim here cost me $20 plus tip! I couldn't believe it. Not to mention, she cut bangs wayyy to short and now I look like a Dutch 6 year old boy. The staff looked as if they had all taken the train in from Long Island and were totally out of touch with Manhattan style. I will never go here again, and suggest you stay away.

  • Pros: I learned my lesson quick.
  • Cons: Trashy staff, over priced

Bliss

by whootwoo

I had a facial and my friend had the hot stones massage. Be ready to do nothing afterwards because you will feel great! my facial was almost 2 hours and I was charged the hourly rate. The ambience was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great experience!!!

  • Pros: ambience, staff, relaxing
  • Cons: you have to leave :>)
