Janis Chakler Skin Care

Oxygen treatment Intraceuticals 45 min — $ 200 by Janis.
Pros: 1) Janis is very friendly and welcoming; 2) good location; 3) $ 1050 for 6 oxygen treatments and small travel kit of Intraceuticals; 4) asked about water or tea; 5) gave me an examples of all creams that she used.
Cons: 1) I didn’t like that Janis didn’t do in a proper way the treatment as a most spa does. Usually when u go to facial spa they give you robe to change your clothes and u lay down on the table with a warm and nice cover instead of that Janis told me that because it’s only a oxygen treatment you don’t need to take off your clothes and said me to lay down on the top of cover without covering me and my clothes!!! Such unprofessional sign!!! :(((((((2) her cover was dirty I could see a big spot on cover that I was laying down; 3) she didn’t wash her hands before touching my face!!! 4) massage was a couple seconds, I can’t to call it even massage sorry Janis; 5) I didn’t see a result… I did a second time this session, on first time I got a result that I can see. After treatment it’s supposed to get hydrated but my skin after couple hours get the same dry skin, it’s supposed to last at list a couple of days of hydration.

She is fabulous! My skin was a hot mess and Janis took a ton of time to just talk to me about it and give advice about what I should do to improve it. The facial was bomb – my skin looked so much better just the morning after. She also does an extraction facial for less, which I’m looking forward to next time. If you’re considering a facial, go to Janis!

I was a facial virgin and multiple friends of mine recommended Janis after years of seeing her. Since then I have gotten facials in a couple of larger spas in various places, and I choose to return on a regular basis to Janis!
I prefer that Janis is an independent small business. Janis takes the time to give you recommendations of what will work best for your skin type. I started with her Jump Start facial, but now really love the Really Radical facial. And the cleansing and lotion products I discovered through Janis are the best products I’ve ever used on my skin. Janis does not pressure you to buy the products she carries like other spas — but she carries some great lines of high quality products that I love.
Janis’s prices are reasonable, and in many cases, less than the same treatment in many other spas. She is friendly and personable person, which makes the experience all that much more enjoyable!

I came into Janis’s salon looking like a train wreck. I had acne, and my skin tone and texture was uneven. My skin never really looked good, I was resigned to always using foundation.
Janis was sooo knowledgable. Janis guided me and showed me EXACTLY what I should use, how I should use it, and when I should use each product in BETWEEN visits. I didn’t leave the salon until I was confident. Janis really cared that I was taking care of my skin — even when I wasn’t there — she wants her clients to just. Look. Great!
I have been coming in regularly for facials for almost a year. By about the third month my friends noticed a difference in how I looked. Not only has my acne cleared up, but my skin is smoother (who knew you could do that?), my skin tone is even, but my skin also glows! I haven’t worn foundation or cover-​up in months!
As an aside, Janis is also organized and really warm. I always leave feeling relaxed and calmer. I love visiting Janis, I hope you do, too!

I have been doing Oxygen Facial for long time, but recently went for the first time to Janis, I have been very impressed, and from now on this is my primary place for my skin care.

Janis is hands down the best facialist in NYC! How she manages to make extractions a pleasant experience is beyond me. I have gotten facials at many spas Bliss, Burke Williams etc. and they are never as good as Janis’. She gives your skin the individual attention it needs. I refer all my friends and family to Janis – she rocks!

Guys don’t get facials often, however, since I’m in the biz, it’s kind of a requirement for me. It is a pleasure to find someone so knowledgeable as well as attentive. I am a stickler for customer service and Janis exceeded my expectations.
Janis was absolutely amazing. If you want the best facial in New York, book Janis today.

Janis is the best! My skins glows when I leave her… and weeks afterwards. I go every 6 weeks. She’s so easy to talk to, funny & personable. Her massages are pretty damn good… I told her that I”m going to come back just for a massage… If only.
My least favorite part of the pampering sessions are the extractions. They’re not painful, but far from heavenly… but If it has to be done, so be it. I’m happy I found my go to esthetician in Janis… she’s close to the subway & reasonably priced. Yay… my skin & I are happy.

I was here few weeks ago for facial. It was about $ 120
I dont remember which facial i had. But it was nothing special.
I mean i thought that i would get nice clean facial at least.
But there was no massage at all. And when i leave the place
My face was really red. I know my Skin is very
Senstive. But i have been to facial many defferent
Place. And it was much better then this place.
I agree most Unilocaler said that she is nice .
But im a little confuse about other then that .
Nice facial, not nice person
Not nice facial, good person
I rather have nice facial and not nice person.
It would be better if both are nice .
(Also it has only one room. So it seems like she has no where to go
While i was having mask on my face .
Sound like she was doing computer .
Anyway i felt a little uncomfurtable .)
To be honest, i wonder where all this5 star
Review came from ??
To janis.
Thanks for reading my reveiw.
And i just wanted to correct .
As you said that included massage. But there was no massage
.
I remember because thats the one of the reson why i go facial .
And why i felt uncomfortable ?
I want to relex when im getting my facial
I dont want to hear any noise like typing computer
Or eating something .
I understand that you cant please everyone.
Just letting you know that how i felt .
Thank you.

Facials are a MUST for beautiful skin, but receiving them from the wrong «spas» or «facial experts» is a very bad decision.
I am so happy I found Janis (the first esthetician I ever willingly and thankfully returned to). She is sweet, genuine and such a pleasure to deal with. Her Jump Start facial is the best way to maintain beautiful, healthy skin. I haven’t tried any of her other facial services, but I do intend on looking into the Really Radical.
I agree with the other reviewers, best esthetician in NYC. Seriously.

I had an additional facial purchased through the deal which I decided to gift to my mom. Poor lady has never had a facial in her life! I thought he was extremely deserving of a treat.
Her appointment ran longer than an hour. She walked out relaxed and glowing! During her treatment she received a foot massage as well which is awesome. Let it be known that my mother is the strongest woman I have ever met. However, she refuses to get eyebrow threading because «it hurts so bad.» Needless to say I was a bit hesitant at her reaction to extractions… she actually commented that it was not painful at all! Janis does work magic when it comes to extractions… she doesn’t use tools (which I think amplify the pain). Also, she gave my mom a sample to take home of an anti wrinkle cream.
Verdict: mom wants to return… I think I may have created a monster!

Janis is a gem!
GREAT FACIAL, GREAT PRICE, GREAT RESULTS.
I have tried many facials at fancy spas abroad, overpriced places in the city and had some Groupon disasters. The last of which involved a crazy Azerbaijani lady leaving me looking like I had been in a fight just a few days before my cousin’s wedding.
Determined to find a great esthetician I could use regularly, I got on Unilocal and read a ton of reviews. I choose Janis and I am so glad that I did! I went to Janis for a Jump Start Facial and I was completely hooked after my first appointment! She inspired me to write my first ever review on Unilocal.
Her salon is a nice, cozy one-​woman show with all the amenities and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed so quickly. Janis is a professional with a genuinely warm and funny personality which helped alleviate my shame of showing up with a face-​full of pimples.
Her treatments are natural and they smell amazing, plus at one point during the facial she gives the most amazing neck and shoulder massage! Her extractions are the least painful ones I have ever had (I have been to over 20 estheticians) and I do not leave her office red and blotchy. I like that she doesn’t try to upsell me on expensive treatments I don’t need.
The best part is the results! I have gone in a mess and came out glowing and she has performed this miracle more than once! My skin looks better immediately after the facial and it just keeps getting better for the next few days. I literally wake up the day after her facials looking visibility better and my friends have noticed.
All this, at a very reasonable price for the city– $ 110 for the Jump Start facial is a steal and her other treatments like Oxygen facials are competitively priced too.
Bottom line: I feel like my skin is getting a legit facial and a little pampering at an affordable price.
Janis has two or three organic skin care lines of cosmeceuticals– which she explained have higher concentrations of the active ingredients than what you can buy in a drug store. I am a student on a budget and Janis was never pushy about her products and very generous with the free samples so I could try different products out.
After seeing her twice, I decided to buy a masque I had sampled, a gentle facial wash and to get the sonic facial cleansing brush she recommended. I do not regret these purchases at all and I now feel like she is teaching me how to take care of my skin in between appointments so I do not have to show up with a facial full of pimples.
What else? Well, she sends appointment confirmations and reminders via e-​mail which is great for me because I get them on my Iphone and I can confirm my appointment with one click!
I just book my next appointment at the end of my facial but I know you can book on-​line too. I highly recommend trying a facial from Janis.

This past weekend at a cocktail party, I had the rare privilege of being asked by 3 separate women (in confidence of course!) who my esthetician was. For once, I had the best secret in town, healthy and radiant skin, and a real boost in self esteem. I gladly shared Janis’s details with the other women and they can’t wait to get started with Janis.
Upon first meeting Janis, we spoke about the products that I was using, what I want from my skin, what I like/​mostly dislike about my skin, and how dedicated I was to keeping up with it.
I was comfortably snuggled under an impossibly weightless down blanket, listened to soft music and found my self relaxed for the first time in a while. The face, head and foot massage did me in.
Janis most recently did the «really radical» facial on me (this is my 3^rd I believe), and it has proved to be another great thing I have done for my face. I look refreshed, clear, even toned, and hydrated. (despite the horrid heat wave)
Bottomline — Janis is a warm soul who takes a vested interest in her clients skin and its health. I am looking forward to next months appointment already! I am done searching, I’ve found NYC Best Esthetician.

Really radical facial, really radical!
Point: refreshing lavender mint masque
Point: papaya enzyme masque
Point: massage on face, upper body and feet
Point: thorough extraction without redness
Point: genuine personality with drive to perfection
Result: free of radical, supple and soft skin for weeks
Five stars!
Janis was very proactive and invited me back to re-​experience her signature facial. She explained she made a mistake giving me a Jump Start Facial last time and apologized sincerely.
Here starts the Really Radical.
First Janis gently cleansed my face, and then brushed on a layer of papaya enzyme masque, which helped cleaning out the oil in the pores. While the masque was on, she massaged my feet. Next the extraction was thoroughly and non painful at all. Then she softly but firmly massage my face and the whole upper body. The lavender mint masque stayed on 20 minutes for it to harden. Janis explained the benefits of the masque, Vitamin C, E, Calcium and Magnesium. She was knowledgeable explaining the technology of oxygen facial. When Janis took it off, I instantly felt the freshness and aromatic air breathe into my skin! It smelt so good that is almost intoxicating!
I can’t stop touching and smelling my skin after I left h studio.
Highly recommend the Really Radical Facial if you can afford it.

There is a facial queen and her name is Janis.
Janis is a sweetheart and immediately makes you feel relaxed and ready to clear up your skin. I’ve been seeing her for a few months now starting in the winter months by way of Lifebooker deal. Usually I’m a «try and deal and never return» kind of girl but the experience was return-​worthy.
The first experience she takes a good look at your skin, asks what your problem areas are and gets going. Music is calm and soothing in the small studio that immediately calms you down. Her face and neck massages have on multiple occasions caused me to snooze for a few. (oops!) add in a bonus that she massages your feet while the mask starts to clean out your pores just makes it even better.
my skin always looks amazing when i leave the appointment. it also stays glowing for a long amount of time. even the ladies at sephora who helped me with a new batch of makeup complimented on my skin — even in the sweaty nyc summer!
go see janis if you’re looking for a great, reasonably priced facial and looking to zone out and relax for an hour. trust me.

Amazing facial, Janis really knows what she’s doing/​talking about. She doesn’t have a sign on her door yet because her neighbors are being bullies but just go to the address and you’ll be in the right place.

There are no words to describe how amazing my facial with Janis was… I will try but this review won’t come close to describing how perfect the entire experience was.
Janis Chakler gave me the best facial of my life, and I’ve had a lot of facials to chose from.
The detail and attention Janis applied to my face (painless extractions btw) was more than someone laboring over clogged pores, it was (as silly as I feel saying it) an art-​form. She is incredible.
My skin is even and clear– it looks like I’m 5 years younger and refreshed. The products she used left me feeling clean after my treatment, not sticky or overly aromatic like many.
If I could pass on one bit of advice to the world of beauty– it would be Janis Chakler; and maybe just maybe, this advice (while seemingly shallow) could apply to the world outside of beauty– we should all relax and be treated well.

I have to admit I was skeptical when I made my appointment through Lifebooker … there are a lot of sketchy «spas» in this city and I was worried I might be walking into the kind of place that’s run down, constantly upsells, provides sub-​par service, treats Lifebooker clients like they’re second-​rate, etc. Because there are a lot of those places out there and I’ve been to too many of them.
So with that in mind, I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised with my visit to Janis Chakler! The space itself feels very welcoming and comfortable, and the treatment room is spacious. Janis was very friendly & kind (even though I was running late!) and asked me a number of questions about my skin. Based on my answers she suggested a different treatment than the one I’d booked online and mentioned that it would be the same price (without me having to ask). I liked that she took the time to figure out exactly what kind of skin I have & what treatment would be most beneficial instead of just rushing through.
The facial itself was very thorough and relaxing. The extractions didn’t leave me all red or lumpy, and the products and masks she used all smelled & felt great. She also stayed in the treatment room for the entire time, which I appreciated. I hate it when you’re left sitting there by yourself with a mask on your face for 20 minutes, wondering whether someone has forgotten about you. Anyway, my skin looked great when she was done and I booked my next appointment right away (which I’ve since been to, and it was just as awesome as the first time around). Though she did offer me some product samples (which was nice… they’re products I was actually interested in trying), I never felt pressured to buy anything and in fact she even gave me a discount on my second visit as well, even though I hadn’t booked that appointment through Lifebooker.
On top of all that I feel like the facials are really reasonably priced, especially for the level of service/​experience. Most facials that you find in NYC for under $ 100 are really really horrible in my experience & this was just awesome!

I just tried out Janis through a Lifebooker deal. I have to say that it was one of the best facials I’ve ever gotten — and I’ve tried many different spas and salons in the city. The treatment room itself is really big with high ceilings — which is a huge plus for the whole relaxing part of the facial experience (just because other places play zen music, it can’t mask the claustrophobia of a 5×7 room). Janis was super nice — not pushy at all with products. I got the jump start facial which included a foot and shoulder/​head massage. The facial itself was very thorough — plenty of extractions and time spent analyzing my skin to use the right kind of serum. Here’s the best part — zero redness walking out of there. I went out for dinner with friends afterward and didn’t look like I had been attacked by bees. Seriously, this is great!

Janis always gives me the most «amazing» facial! My absolute favorite is the Really Radical! Your skin feels so super hydrated and soft for days… I love how the temperature of the masque changes from warm to cool & just lifts off all in one when it hardens (it’s as though she’s revealed my brand new baby fresh face!!) and the facial massage… well you’ll see for yourself!
I like the eye treatment add-​on as well, really reduces the fine lines.
Janis truly makes the entire experience feel timeless, like I had just been on a mini holiday :) We miss you in SF Janis but you better believe, I would never miss out on an opportunity to see Janis every time I’m in NYC!
