Faina European Skin Care Center and Day Spa
New York, New York

Julie Register visited this day spa in August, 2001

*Faina European Skin Care Center and Day Spa, located in midtown Manhattan on 57th Street, offers a large variety of European beauty treatments for the face and body. Faina, a native of Moscow, was trained in Russia. She has a deep understanding of skin and its needs. She holds a four-year nursing degree and studied as an esthetician for an additional year. Faina moved her spa to its current location on Feb 1, 2001 in order to expand. The new facility has six rooms including a steam shower and six estheticians working there (Marianna, Faina, Lia, Natalie, and Faina). Decleor, Glymed, Ella Bache, Cellex C, and Karen Herzog-oxygen, and Paule of Vienna among others are product lines sold in the retail area. Additionally, Faina makes her own blend of acne treatment which she sells all over the world.

I visited Faina in August after attending a business luncheon in New York City. I had a European Facial which I found very relaxing. My skin felt great afterwards. It was recommended that I get in a routine of having a facial every 4-6 weeks. Here are the steps to the facial:

  1. Makeup removed, skin cleaned, and skin examined 

  2. Face massaged to improve circulation, improve the complexion, prevent lines and wrinkles, strengthen facial muscles with the added bonus of being relaxing.

  3. Face steamed for 10 minutes to open pores (sometimes herbs are used in the steam to treat specific problems, but not in the steam I had)

  4. Pores deep cleaned by extracting whiteheads and blackheads

  5. Mask applied to tighten pores

  6. Honey applied to lips while mask set up "to make soft the lips"

  7. Mask applied to nourishes the skin (specific type depends on what the skin needs - can be apricot or peach or collagen) 

  8. Arms and hands massaged while mask set up

  9. Oil applied to skin to hydrate

  10. Moisturizer applied

  11. Eye cream applied

Getting an appointment with Faina (the owner) can be a challenge. She has a long list of devoted clients, some of which have been with her for 23 years. However, she has personally trained the other estheticians in order to offer consistent treatment quality.

Faina European Skin Care Center and Day Spa has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Allure, Self, Manhattan Spirit, and Bride Magazine.
