Came here last month for a sugaring service for the first time.
I won't be back. The young lady at the front desk was pleasant. The woman who performed my service was not friendly at all. Usually when getting waxed or sugared the technician does guided breathing to help with the discomfort. My tech here did not do that at all.
Later that night I noticed that my thighs were severely bruised from the service. This has never happened at all. I emailed the spa and someone called me the following day to check on me. They advised that it may have been the technique used or low iron levels and

It's time to update my review. I've been going to this place and specifically to Anastasia for over a year now. They are both amazing.
Once you reach the place, they take your temperature and have you sign a waiver of typical covid symptom questionnaire.
I've been seeing Anastasia for over a year and I have problematic skin: cystic acne in mid 30s which are getting better but complicated by maskne now. Be sure to request for Anastasia if you visit Daphne, she's excellent for both facials and dermaplaning. I cannot recommend her highly.
The Biologique products are great

Hi! Not only is Daphne an amazing Waxer and her waxing treatments do not hurt because of her wax but her products have changed my life. I was suffering with crazy yeast imbalance. Getting yeast infections weekly (and also BV). No doctor treatments works. No over the counter worked and neither did suppositories that I tried from various drug store brands. I was telling Daphne during a wax about my problem. She recommended her Monoi De Tahiti Lavande beauty oil. To apply the oil to the area every day and my problems would go away. She was right and they did. I no longer have chronic yeast problems

Yuliya has transformed my skin. I cannot stop checking myself out whenever I pass a mirror. I saw results the first session and it's only gotten better now that I've been going regularly for the past three months. She knows exactly what your skin needs during treatment and gives the best product recommendations to continue the work at home. She is so calming and makes facials both relaxing and effective (her extractions are the best I have ever had).

This was my first time at Daphne- a very European Spa ++ with lovely rooms and great music. Natalya gave me the the finest and most detail oriented treatment. I couldn't ask for a better service on a snowy day. Was truly a delight and I will be back. Best products and nicest women. A very treat yourself experience. I will be back!

I have been looking for a place like that in New York for a while.
Quiet and cozy space with an amazing staff. Can’t wait for my next appointment with Nataliya. She is magical. Yulia who works at the front desk is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all products they use.
I am so happy with my experience. Highly recommend it!

I've been coming here for my travel size reups. I'm usually in and out because I know what I want and it's usually just the P50. I like the Usual front desk lady without the foreign accent because she very accommodating but the older one who seems European was very condescending. I asked her what I could get for my pores. She dismissed me with, " oh it's genetics " . Girl , it's 2019 everyone can change anything with money and this is New York City 10013 in a neighborhood with the wealthiest people. I went to rescue spa and they helped me out with dermapore, and

Samantha has always done such an amazing job for my brazilian sugaring!
What do you want for a brazilian?
1. Quick? Check!
2. Painless? Check! (certainly significant less pain than others)
3. Well done? Check! Sam is a perfectionist and it's always perfectly done. Nice and smooth.
Add to that Samantha's fantastic personality. She senses what mood you are in (chatty, sharing, quiet) and you will get exactly what you need. It's like she can read your mind. She's fabulous.
I saw her for years her when she was working in Seattle and I for sure will see her when I'm in NY

During spa week, the team at Daphne mixed my appointment with someone (event hough I had the confirmation email) else which caused inconvenience on my end. The front desk was not very nice or welcoming. Secondly, the guest expected to pay a required 30% gratuity based on full price, even though the service was $50 vs $300. Unfortunately, Daphne does not pay their employees well and did not want to upset them - per the front desk. I ended trying another amazing spa 2 blocks down which had amazing services and a welcome smile :)

Jade is hands down the best aesthetician I've ever had.
I started looking for a new waxing place in December. I've been seeing Jade ever since. She is very meticulous and has great attention to detail. She never leaves a single hair untouched. Her sugaring technique is relatively less painful than other technicians I've had. Sugaring itself is less painful than waxing in general.
The salon is relaxing and calm, even though it's small. The receptionist is very knowledgeable about the products and services.

Amazing experience. I had pretty bad acne on and off for about 3 years and nothing worked until I came here and started getting facials and consultations. The facials were amazing and the skincare regimen and tips for my lifetstyle that were given completely changed my skin around and I’ve never looked back. Very clean,relaxing ambience and professional staff. My favorite !

I am leaving this review not for the wonderful esthetician -- Nataliya -- but for the horrendous attitude of the lady at the front desk. Her name was Juliana, and she completely ruined the wonderful experience I was having.
I booked through Spa Week, and when I was ready to pay, I was told that the total would be $90. Juliana had already insisted instead of me what gratuity I would be paying. The total procedure was $50, and she claimed that I had to leave a $40 tip. My problem is not with the amounts here, but with the attitude with which she tried to belittle my questions when I tried to inquire

Sugaring with Natalya was great, her technique was good and is one if the better ones I've tried in NYC. The studio is very tranquile and they were able to accommodate me running late due to subway issues (thanks mta).
One star off for super awkward experience with front desk where the person looked at me super weird when I wanted to have my yelp offer...she said something along the lines of: oh that's through Yelp and not us. Either she had no clue they had the offer going or was trying to get out of it. Either way her tone was pretty unpleasant afterwards.

So Ive finally gotten around to penning a review. If I could leave 10 stars I would! I discovered Daphné after purchasing a sugaring Groupon and realized it was only a few blocks from my flat. Making an appointment via phone was quick and easy and pleasant. I was able to be seen within a week. The spa is very immaculate. Spotless and clean. Charming decor. Soft music and relaxing ambience. I immediately felt at ease when I arrived and was greeted and tended to immediately. The estheticians are all friendly, skilled and quick. Most importantly, the Brazilian sugaring treatment I received was thorough
