absolutely addicted!

by kinlawcemoi

When I first started my facials with Jillian, I was completely desperate. I was a young girl suffering with stubborn acne with no end in sight. I had literally tried everything from products to supplements to energy work and beyond. Nothing gave me results that lasted.

I started off with the "Acne Clearing" facial by Jillian. I was pleased with the immediate results because it was refreshing to have my skin cleared out. After that first visit, I decided to ditch the pharmaceutical creams that my dermatologist had prescribed just to give the products that Jillian works with a shot. What did I have to lose?

This ended up being one of the best decisions I've made in regards to my skin care. I started with the transport pads as well as a mix of products by the Bio-Elements line. Ever since that first visit, nearly a year ago, I have been a devotee to the products carried by Jillian's spa as well as a regular facial client (I now do the Lumi-Facial with extractions and love it!). I go for my facial every month- religiously- because this is most effective for my type of acne prone skin.

I will go nowhere else for my facials. Jillian Wright and her entire team have been 110% supportive of me and my battle with acne. Anytime I have a question, I call the spa. From time to time, I've emailed Jillian with a question or two about my personal regime and how that may effect my skin. EVERY TIME I emailed with a concern, I was addressed immediately with a thorough response. I've even gone in (day of) to take care of certain spots before a performance or a shoot. I mean, can you get any better than that?

Jillian truly cares about her clients. She is knowledgeable and passionate. It also helps that she gives the best facials in all of New York City. Clearing up my acne has changed everything for me. I feel confident and in touch with my own skin. Last, but certainly not least, feel supported by Jillian and her team.

Do yourself a favor and try them out. If I've learned anything from them it's that you deserve to feel your best.

• Pros: amazing support, beautiful space, acne gone!

Fantastic quality and service!

by anatogala

I'm very picky when it comes to facials. I usually require all of those back heads to be squeezed out. And here's the thing, only few people can make it right without leaving any redness or red spots on my face. Jillian is definitely one of those only professionals who leaves my skin clear. I can actually go out right after that without hiding my face. It is a pleasure to be at the spa. Everyone is so nice and professional. I highly recommend it!

• Pros: quality, great customer service, good location

Best facial on the Upper Eastside!

by GGbean

I usually go for facials once a month. I have a girl that I go to but I walked by Jillian Wright Clinical Skin Spa and decided to give them a try. I called the same day looking for an appointment that evening and to my surprise, they had one available. Mandy was my aesthetician and she was so pleasant and welcoming. I felt at ease right away. After I settled in, she took me to the treatment room which was very clean and comfy. Once she started the facial, I knew I was in good hands. She explained everything she was doing for my skin because I asked her to, but towards the end, I did fall asleep. All I know is that my experience was great and my skin feels lighter and brighter. She extracted every blackhead I had and also gave a great upper body massage.

• Pros: great facial, location and ambience

by LynnMurrow

I loved the LED light facial with microdermabrasion. My skin feels smoother and less bumpy. I also noticed my skin wasn't red when I left. I will be going back for sure!

• Pros: knowledge, location, relaxing environment, skin felt great

Mandy has the Magic Touch!! =0D

by angelrosegirl1

About two weeks ago I had the Bioelements Acne Clearing Treatment done and the experience was like heaven. I could see the difference in one session and can't wait for my next appointment(which is this week). Mandy is very knowledgeable and any doubts/questions I had she answered...She's the best and super friendly...made me feel at ease. The place is very relaxing and the staff are very friendly....the receptionist is so kind and helpful...everyone is. I have already recommended this place to all my friends and family.

• Pros: None
• Cons: None

Cleared my acne

by GabiSobo

I went to Jillian Wright Clinical Skin Spa (formally Glow Skin Spa) because my friend went there and now her skin is clear. I suffer from hormonal acne and before I went, I couldn't get it under control. Marjorie, did an acne clearing facial last month and this month and I see a significant difference in my skin. It is smoother, and I have less breakouts. She put me on a simple program (only 4 products), unlike other places and I feel so much better. I know I have a long way to go, but at least I'm on the right track! I can't wait till next month (even though the extractions are uncomfortable), I know they are doing me a lot of good!!!!

• Pros: amazing extractions
• Cons: they hurt!!

Fabulous!!!!

by Saramiller5690

When I originally searched this spa, I was looking for Glow Skin Spa. Over the summer, they moved and changed their name to Jillian Wright Clinical Skin Spa. Jillian the owner of Glow decided "it was time to brand herself" so she told me! I booked a Lifestyle Facial because, being a lover of facials and having them religiously, I wanted to try the ultimate but also get some sound advice as to what I should be doing to prevent premature aging. Jillian is simply amazing! She sat down with me and we chatted about my skin, my history, nutrition, my expectations and the facial itself was the best Ive ever experienced.

• Pros: thorough extractions, relaxing massage, beautiful spa
• Cons: should've had a massage with my facial!

A little overrated

by jnyc89

This is a nice place but after all the good press and great reviews I've seen I was a little disappointed. This is one of those places that give u a "spa" style facial (lathering on creams, massaging your face, etc) but not so much results, I don't feel like my face got a good deep cleaning which is what I expected. I came home and saw my nose still had those little bumps which are usually gone after I get a facial. My face does "glow" but I've had better. I wouldn't not recommend or recommend it.

• Pros: Cute space, good customer service
• Cons: overated, facial was just OK

Not that special

by carmen136

Having read all the great reviews on citysearch about Glow skin spa, I thought I would give it a try.

First time I was dissapointed with the results, but decided to go back and give them a second chance. After the second time, I realised that it was just not working for me.

Considering that you pay a very high price for a facial, I would expect much better results.

When I went back home to Europe on holidays, I went for a facial to my usual Spa and the girl was pretty shocked when she saw the state of my skin. It was much dirtier than it had ever been and had developed a bit of acne. This is what I was thinking myself but needed an experts opinion. After just one facial with her, I saw immediate results, my skin was bright, acne dissapeared, and I had paid about 60 per cent less than I did here.

Maybe the products they use at Glow skin spa just don't work for me, but won't be going back again.

• Pros: very friendly and attentive staff
• Cons: prices, didn't get the results I expected.

Really good facial

by grgr2020

After looking up for so many days online and a in depth research for a really good facial place, i finally picked Glow Spa. I left them a voice mail to schedule an appointment and within an hr they called back to schedule the same.

I got my the Signature Glow facial from Marjorie and believe me it was really good. She was very warm and sweet. She explained every thing that she was doing and the process really helped me relax. At the end of the facial she gave a few samples of the products that she thought was good for my skin and the really good thing about her was that she was not pushy at all.

All in all a really good facial and worth the dough!

• Pros: Excellent facial
• Cons: None
