FabUlous

by anonK at Citysearch

I never was one for facials until I received a gift certificate for a facial at Scientifica. Lulu is gentle and gifted. Now I go to get or keep my skin hydrated before or after traveling, in addition to when I want my skin to glow for everyday.

• Pros: Glowing skin
• Cons: none

Expert, Gentle Care for Radiant Skin

by dafinyc at Citysearch

I recommend Lulu's facials and her Scientifica product line without any hesitation. Lulu is very sensitive to individual skincare concerns, and modifies her treatments accoringly. Not only are her facials both deep cleansing and gentle, but her warm, positive nature make the facial experiene a soothing, positive experience.

Once I tried the Scientifica product line, I became absolutely addicted! I have sensitive skin, and have to be very careful about the products I use. In the six months I have been using the Scientifica products, my skin is radiant and much less prone to dryness and clogging than before. I am a partiular fan of the Cherry Wash. Besides being an excellent cleanser that does not dry my skin, it is an aromatherapy treat, which helps me get a positive start to my day each morning! Lulu is truly and expert, and Scientifca is a real find!

• Pros: Gentle, natural products and expert facials

Wonderful Skincare!

by aclaydon at Citysearch

Lulu was recommended by a friend and I instantly became a huge fan! You can tell immediately that she cares about making your skin the best it can be and wants to help you achieve it. She recommends products and treatments but you never feel pressured to buy anything like you do at some big spas. However, you definitely get the spa treatment while visiting her adorable space in Soho. Put your skin in Lulu's capable hands and you will definitely be happy you did...and glowing!

Excellent Facial

by muppetdiner at Citysearch

A close friend referred me to Scientifica and got me a gift certificate. Right away Lulu put me at ease with her calm, compassionate manner and professionalism. She used all kinds of cool products and machines and I walked out of there not looking all red and scary at all. By the following day my skin looked better than it has in years - and I have sensitive/problem skin.

She also took the time to recommend the types of products I should be using (not just from her own line).

I'd recommend Scientifica Skincare to anyone with complete confidence.

• Pros: Glowing Skin, Relaxing Atmosphere,
• Cons: Ever having to leave

Best personalized facial

by rp38 at Citysearch

I never understood why people get facials until I went to Lulu. She is gentle and her products are extremely gentle yet provide results. I have super sensitive skin, very prone to redness, and incredibly sensitive to extractions. Lulu somehow manages to give me a super deep facial while not causing massive breakouts, redness and welts (unlike other facials I have had performed by hyped-up clinicians!). She listens to what I have to say, and never pushes her products (though they're addictive! My skin has really never looked better). I get compliments all the time!

Lulu has lots of cool tricks up her sleeve too. From aromatherapy to crazy high-tech masks and soothing applications, she always has something fun to introduce me to. She is happy to talk you through the facial, about the benefits of each product, mask, and lotion. She also knows when to let you be--zoning out is half the fun!

The space is serene and the ultimate in privacy. Convenient to get to. And when you run out of products, Lulu ships them to you ASAP. What more can you ask for??

• Pros: Privacy, expertise
• Cons: None!

Lulu has the hands of an angel

by noraleah at Citysearch

It gets down to this: Lulu truly cares. She listens to you -- and not just about your skin issues, also about your life. She treats skin problems methodically and intelligently. She gives the most thorough and yet the most gentle facial -- she has a soft touch, even making tough extractions bearable.

She has made me feel that I'm not alone in my struggles with sometimes painful and embarrassing adult acne. She says, "How can we solve this together?" and then she gets to work. She is a delight, and very, very good at what she does.

• Pros: Lulu is both highly professional and very skilled, she's personable and caring.
• Cons: Facials are always expensive. But Lulu is very understanding, and works to help you solve your problems even on a more limited budget.

Lulu is THE most amazing person and skin care professional

by ART28 at Citysearch

I can not say enough good things about Lulu, her products, or her facials. She is a complete professional while still being warm and inviting. I am blessed with pretty good skin and she still took my concerns completely seriously and gave me a skin make over. People have commented on my skin over and over again since I have been seeing her. I am also a confirmed picture, doing home surgeries on my face. She has been able to get me to quit to habit by her deep cleaning, and the way her products help me maintain. No room for the grossness to get in. There is no better way to relax on a Saturday afternoon. She is also unbelieveable committed to new techniques and products whether it be wild yam for an eye cream or different cooling masks so you aren't scary when you leave. I have been able to leave her and meet up with people and not have scary facial face, but also she has not missed one black head or any other grossness. Lulu also does brows and they are not to be missed. She tweezes expertly and shapes you back to your former glory. I can not say enough about how much I love Lulu's services, and who she is as a person. You leave feeling better then just shining healthy skin.

• Pros: Lulu! Space is relaxing, products, overall experience
• Cons: nothing

Lulu's Scientifica puts any other facial to shame!!

by mtstyle at Citysearch

As someone who has been getting facials for over a decade to manage my problem skin, I can rightfully say that I have FINALLY found the answer to my prayers with Scientifica! Lulu is beyond professional, has such a way with the manner in which she pampers you and your skin with her touch and is so absolutely lovely just to be around! My skin was smoother, glowing and I noticed immediate improvements with my combination summer skin and accompanying breakouts! She didn't try to upsell me or push any new products my way but simply allowed me to soak up her delicious treatment as she focused on the task at hand. Lulu knows skin, knows what you need and knows how to make you feel as though you are a guest in her own home. Thank you, Lulu, for developing what I have been seeking for endless years!

• Pros: Lulu, Lulu, Lulu!!
• Cons: I shouldn't have waited so long to give Scientifica a try!

Ultimate skincare pro

by zoho at Citysearch

Lulu is such a consummate expert in skincare - I've asked her about interactions between products, makeup, and so many other beauty care tips, and she's always answered intelligently, thoroughly, even offering to do further research.

And her facials are incredibly effective - you can see truly see the difference - I've had three from her since February, and I barely ever breakout anymore. The entire process is calming, soothing, and she will go after every extraction possible (your face will thank you!)

She is a perfectionist who cares incredibly about skin and beauty (I also had a very fun and informative makeup demo from her). I care deeply about what my products are made from, and how well they work - and I've been totally impressed by her terrific Scientifica line. My skin really is glowing :)!

I can't recommend her enough.

• Pros: Attention to detail, Very reasonable prices for the level of service
• Cons: None!
