What People Are Saying About Lia Schorr Skin Care Spa

Featured Review

The Scene – In the '90s, Lia Schorr was the queen of Gotham day spas, as the scores of press clippings that line this spa's walls prove. While the posh bar has been raised to current standards of luxe (fresh lemonade, crudites and massaging pedicure chairs are among the improvements), Schorr has never stopped updating the services on her menu. The clientele is 50 percent male, so the 35-year beauty vet also provides shaving, anti-aging and acne advice geared towards men. – – The Services – The famous European deep-pore cleansing facial, performed on a barcalounger,…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Would-be estheticians can learn to perform Schorr's world-famous techniques at the on-premises training center.
ambiance
85.19000053405762% positive
  1. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is extremely helpful, professional and pleasant and the low price lets you make this facial a part of your regular skin care routine, not just an occasional indulgence.
  2. It was a great experience & very comfortable for me.
  3. spa is a place where one should feel comfortable, relaxed, and pampered, not a place where the customer is uncomfortable because of an unprofessional "esthetician" with poor social skills.
  4. The What: All spa services, including massages, facials, manicures, & pedicures --and any number of packages for both men and wome in a clean lovely space that is not intimidating but very comfortable.
  5. Great facial - great atmosphere
  6. The atmosphere horrible during facials-- we could hear footsteps upstairs, staff cleaning in the hallway, conversation in the next room, and toilets flushing!
  7. In closing, if you are looking for a good massage and don't care about atmosphere, this is a good, reasonably priced place.
  8. Extremely nurturing treatments in a quiet, understated setting; great, easy-to-get-to location; warm, caring, highly-experienced technicians.
  9. am a 40 year old executive who is finally comfortable in my skin.
  10. The salon was very warm and comfortable.
  11. am a 45 year old executive assistant who is finally comfortable in my skin.
  12. so I'd rather go someplace else, where the staff is nicer and the atmosphere is more pleasant and relaxing.
  13. Overall, the Lia Schorr day spa is a perfect place to spend time with the ones you love most; it is such a pleasant and beautiful atmosphere.
  14. Lia and the operators are warm and caring, make sure you're comfortable.
  15. Pushy sales focused proprietor, unrelaxing atmosphere, which was loud and cramped and had not been renovated since the stone age.
  16. If you want a great facial and wonderful atmosphere, book one with Nadia at Ohm and forget Lia Schorr.
  17. The location is convenient.
  18. They have wonderfully beautiful decor and some of the best service you can find.
  19. The location and the hours were perfect.
  20. The only treatment I liked was the hot stone back massage, but again, the atmosphere of the rooms are terrible.
  21. ve been searching for that perfect spa, with the right quality treatments, and a relaxing serene atmosphere.
  22. Not only did my skin feel great, but I had a lot of fun as well.
  23. This Spa has a GREAT atmosphere and the services offered are amazing and absolutely the best I've ever received in NYC.
  24. The place itself looked cozy, clean, and pleasant, with surround sound music.
  25. The music was nice and the atmosphere was very serene.
  26. The facial is a comfortable, relaxing experience.
  27. while the decor is a bit outdated - very early '90s - and the receptionist (who i believe is lia herself, as she bore a striking resemblance to a huge image of the salon's namesake posted in the hallway) was a bit gruff, the massage and masseuse were wond

  58. The staff is rude and the owner Lia is even worse.
  59. The service was great!
  60. told her that I have had so many bad experiences with "professional" people that I did think it was fair, especially since I'm a first time customer, and I do have the right to ask about the service I'm paying for.

Anti-aging collagen facial

by bellabeautylalala

THE LIA SCHORR DAY SPA AND HER WONDERFUL ANTI AGING COLLAGEN FACIAL TREATMENT I RECEIVED ... OH MY GOD I WAS AT THE LIA SCHORR DAY SPA AND I JUST HAD A COLLAGEN FACIAL TREATMENT THERE. IT WAS VERY GOOD FOR MY DRY SKIN. IT REALLY TOOK OFF THE FLAKEY, DRY SKIN AWAY. EVEN ME EYES LOOKED LESS PUFFY. IT WAS WELL NEEDED. THEIR TREATMENTS WERE PERFECT FOR MY SKIN IRRATION.

I HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE TO THIS SPA .. ITS BEEN OPEN FOR 30 YEARS, I WAS CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT THE RAVE WAS ALL ABOUT .....

SO I ENDED UP GOING AND HONESTLY I LOVED IT. LIA SCHORR HER SELF WAS ATTENDING TO THE CLIENTS WITH SUCH GRACE. SHE WAS TELLING THE YOUNG ADULTS ON SKIN CARE TIPS. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THE OWNER INVOLVED IN THE MIX.

THEN THE SECOND TIME AROUND FOR MY VISIT I HAD A MINI MICRODERMABRASION FOLLOWED BY COLLAGEN TREATMENT, IT WAS EVEN BETTER. THE RESULT WAS GREAT. I HAD MY EYE LASHES AND MY BROW TINTED. I ALSO HAD MY LIP WAXED.

MY EUROPEAN PEDICURE AND MY MANICURE WAS ALSO WAS EXTREMLY GOOD, TATIANA WAS THE ONE THAT DID MY PEDICURE AND SHE TOOK HER TIME TO DO A PERFECT JOB. EUGENIA AND ALLA WHO ARE THE FACIALIST AND BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS ALWAYS TAKE GREAT CARE OF ME. THEY ARE JUST WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHICH SUCH GENTLE CARE FOR THE CLIENT.

THIS PLACE IS LOCATED IN THE CITY AND HER TREATMENTS ARE AFFORABLE TO ALL. SO NO ONE HAS AN EXCUSE NOT TO GO TO THIS WONDERFUL PLACE.

INCREDIBLE MEN’S FACIAL

by chrisshaw669

I have grown a beard for about 10 years because the ingrown hairs really irritated my skin. I have known Lia Schorr from the 70’s when she worked at Georgette Klinger men’s salon. Lia was the first one that dealt with men’s skin and even then I had ingrown hairs and she had suggested to that I have electrolysis done which I took her advice and had for 2 years now 60% of my ingrown hairs are gone. I was so relieved I decided to shave my beard for a new look. I just got married and I feel young again it is such a refreshing feeling. I went to the Lia Schorr Day Spa after I have not seen her for many years and I was so proud but not surprised to see how far she has got and how admired she is by all of us. Her staff was incredibly pleasant and Lia herself gave me a big welcome hug I can believe she remembered me after so many years she is truly amazing and looked very good still and it was so wonderful to see very involved she is with her spa. I absolutely loved the microdermabrasion and collagen facial that I received by Eugenia she even trimmed by brows and mustache for me, I looked fantastic. It is such a good feeling knowing that I am in the right place that knows how to make a man feel good about himself. I will definitely be back in a few weeks to try my other services. I felt I needed to write this review because Lia and her staff really deserve the compliments, they are amazing people!!!

HORRIBLE TREATMENT FROM LIA THE OWNER

by NYCL

I've been to many spas in my day. The one thing they all had in common was spa etiquette. I was in awe at how the owner LIA spoke to the patrons and the workers. No spa ambiance what so ever when you get there, no greeting, no soft music, would you like something to drink, nothing. First i waited 5 min for the receptionist to acknowledge I was standing in front of her to check in, hmmm strike 1. Then I witnessed LIA scream at a patron "blah, blah, blah, you are getting on my nerves, come on let me find you someone for your facial but I cant do your friend" I and others sitting there were like WTH? The lady was pist because there was a 1.5 hour delay in schedule and she had set up a facial for herself + friend and was told only 1 could be done and to wait yet 1 more hour. Hell, I would be pist too. Then she had a staff meeting in the coat room and you could hear her scream at an employee who then runs out crying. Again, I'm like WTH? How are you supposed to relax at this place? The owner needs a class in spa etiquette. She runs the place like a sweat shop. I said something to one of the employees in spanish, a 2 min conversation only to have the girl reprimanded for speaking spanish. In front of all the patrons the owner yells to her, speak only English here, yet she herself was speaking to a man in Russian or whatever her language is. Again WTH? By far was the WORST FACIAL EVER. The tech was n the room a total of 15 min of my 1 hour facial. She put a cream, left came back, cleaned it, put another, left came back left came back. I left there with the same blackheads and whiteheads I got there with and paid for extractions. I've never had a facial that the tech was not in the damn room with me. **** The upside was that once I finally got to my massage, it was great. My mom loved her massage also. The nail girls were really nice as well. In the end the techs were very nice but by the time i got there i was agitated as all hell from seeing how this lady LIA treats people so there's no way in hell I will ever set foot in that place again.

My suggestion is that she hire a manager to run the place because her attitude will be the demise of her spa especially now that she has all these sales and so many people coming in. Reviews are going to kill her business. My mom said thanks for massage but she'd never go back, I was embarrassed that I took her there.

My wife and two daughters had a blast!

by csanti007

Lia Schorr Day Spa was mentioned on the radio with a special promotion that was a deep pore cleansing facial with a seaweed mask, manicure, and a hot stone massage. I am the father who loves to surprise my family all the time. They are always amazed how much I know about pampering women and beauty. The place was busy the phone didn’t stop ringing, there was 3 receptionists at the front desk who managed the place incredibly well. I had the pleasure to meet the owner she was very charming and pretty. She helped clients around. I was talked into having services as well by my family and since I am an easy guy I went along with it. I can see why people sometimes write unpleasant reviews about this place because this place is very well known sometimes people need to wait and New Yorkers definitely do not have patience for it. My family informed me at the end of the services that each one the services they had was extraordinary professional. Each one of the individuals that attended to my family were very kind, each service as explained thoroughly, I felt like I won the lottery bringing them here. It was extremely reasonable and the results were excellent as a matter of fact my daughters were afraid of having facial due to past bad experiences in other places. I was delighted when they raved and complimented the good choice that I made. I’m a pilot a real rugged guy who doesn’t deal much with nonsense but what this lady had created for all of us to come to enjoy and experience is definitely to be admired.

NEVER AGAIN!

by SMG6980

I was reluctant to get the promotion for this place due to such a hig volume of bad reviews. I figured since I got a deal it can't be that bad, BUT IT WAS! My appt time was changed the day before b/c the receptionist claims my time was wrong. Then I get there and am told it is too late for a manicure and that I can just come back another time. Then the owner comes out, very pushy and overbearing and leads me to a tiny room. The SWEDISH massage included super hot rocks that the bug man used the entire time. It wasn't a massage at all. It was a hot rub and not enjoyable at all. The massage lasted less than 40 minutes (supposed to be 50 minutes) and when I got dressed I noticed that the rocks were laying in a crockpot that was on the ground. Dirty, disgusting, unsafe. Then I was also due a seat salt scrub and they told me to get dressed and go to the front. NO salt scrub, they just ignored me completely. Then the owner, Lia Schorr, tried to pitch me a package of massages. When I said no thanks she persisted. I was apalled. Worst spa experience of my life. Highly recommend going elsewhere. Neary by is Dorit Baxter. They are so professional, clean, great services.
