Great Place, Great Facial So let me start off my review with I am not one who recieves facial treatments often. Heck I've never had one before this. Also I'm a man.....so that should tell you somethign right there.
A few of my friends(also men) had began going here for numerous issues not just to be pampered and had started to see fantastic results. I myself am no stranger to ingrown hairs, breakouts and huge pores. S... Read More On Citysearchkooldude537 1/26/2010
Best Place for Brazilian Wax (by Tami) I have been going to Tami for Brazilian waxes exclusively for the past 5 years. She is the best! Before a friend recommended Tami, I had tried several other top NYC wax hot spots- J Sisters, Completely Bare, etc... Once I discovered Tami- I never even concidered going anywhere else! She such a sweetheart and makes you feel so comfortable. Not to mention the actual wax is amazing- no irritatio... Read More On CitysearchNJmama 1/26/2010
Excellent Facial! I wrote a more detailed review on my blog (deconstructed-life[dot]blogspot[dot]com) -- this was a terrific facial for an insanely low price. I have received facials from Shizuka, Bliss, Cornelia (name has now changed), etc. and the results here are the same, but for a half to a third of the price.

Burned where it hurts most! I don't like writing negative reviews but considering I'm in pain right now, I figure it's worth it.
I've read so many good reviews before going for the first time that I was convinced that I'll love the place. I went for a brazilian wax and liked the way it was done the first time so I bought a package deal (pay for 5, get 6th free). The 2nd time I went, the waxer burned me pretty bad with th...

Rip off I had purchased a 5-session gift pack for my wife and on her 2nd visit, I decided to go with my wife to get a facial done. We were in separate rooms but they assigned one technician for the both of us. So she was constantly going back and forth between the two of us. She barely spent more than a full 30 minutes with me and another 30 minutes on her. We were paying for 2 sessions mind you.

In the '90s, Lia Schorr was the queen of Gotham day spas- Well it's 2007 ....NEVER GO! Citysearch gave it a five star review which is why I went.

My traumatizing experience started when I stepped into the dark lobby and entered the creepy elevator. Lia Schorr was at the front desk and I can?t he... Read More On Citysearchnicas82 5/24/2007

Let ME set the record straight FOR REAL The Lia Schorr Spa I experience is like most of the reviews written here - absolutely horrible, the other reviews are obviously written by friends or even herself.

Worst Spa Experience Ever! Recently my friends and I visited Lia Schorr for a bachelorette spa afternoon.

It didn't hurt, it didn't make my skin red and blotchy. On the contrar... Read More On Citysearchalmeda 11/25/2006

Don't bother This place is the pits. The woman who gave me a facial tried to hard sell me products (the worst!), the massage therapist was sweet but the room was the size of a small NYC bathroom and the manicurist was totally so-so. Don't be lured in by the price - it's not at all relaxing. The place has florescent lights and is not a spa by any stretch of the imagination. Read More On Citysearchcharissita 12/6/2005
Feel good, everyday! While working and living in this crazy city, I find it an absolute necessity to take good care of myself. I found the greatest place to do just that. Lia Schorr has become my oasis for feeling good and looking good. The services there are top top! but my favorite of all is the HOT Rock MASSAGE and I can not live without one a week! I also get the nicest bikini and leg wax I have ever had.

The Best Skin Care in New York The professional staff at Lia Schorr has been taking care of my skin since the mid-90's.
One can always be assured of state-of-the-art skin care. The level of service, professionalism, and products is just outstanding. It's reliable, down to earth, and I wouldn't think of giong anywhere else. Read More On Citysearchbethross 11/23/2005
sucks I received a gift package so I went with a friend, the hot stone massage was terrific but the facial (they just slobber some facial mask on your face), manicure/pedicure were NOT! Only a few of the staff members are friendly, the rest are rude and spend their time chatting and gossiping. Not worth going even if the price is a steal. I would rather pay the same price for one service as opposed ... Read More On Citysearchchik810 8/30/2005
Best Brazilian Yet!! I've never had such great Brazilian before and I've been getting them for years now! Toni is thurough and a perfectionist. She's also really swift, and the pain level is quite low (of course that also depends on your experience). And it is so affordable - around $30 or get 6 for $170ish. Don't forget to tip well!

Mini vacation in the city My husband and I have used Lia Schorr's wonderful day spa for over eight years. The staff is attentive and treat us like family. We both enjoy their facials and massages on a regular basis. The seaweed wrap and body scrub leaves your skin soft and glowing. The facial, with glycolic, ionic for the eyes and seaweed mask keeps me looking ten years younger. We recommend following it with the oxy... Read More On Citysearchwenpen 7/25/2005
Best Bikini Wax Ever!! I have been on what I thought was the never ending search for the best bikni wax. Well I found it a Lia Schoor. Not only were they professional, but expreienced. They use the best wax available and, thought I have been a "shaver", and have a low pain threshold, I will say that it was nearly pain free and it didn't take all day. I have been to more places that I can count on one hand and all I can... Read More On Citysearchcmac2703 7/21/2005
This is the worst spa in New York Do not waste your time and money. This place was not relaxing at all! Lia Schorr is very very rude and unappreciative. She hurried my friend and I out of the spa and didn't even say thank you. The massage was okay but the massage room was bare and cold and through the paper-thin walls I could hear two other therapists chatting about someone else.
I was more stressed out after the vist than ... Read More On Citysearchny6 5/2/2005
Skip It! Lia doesn't believe in appts. so the feel of this place is more "beauty service chop shop" than relaxing. My facial took 1.5 hours - not because it was thorough, but because the facialist was working on 3 clients at once! She was actually with me for only about 15 minutes. When I questioned my service, the facialist said "I do whatever Lia tells me" Apparently the staff are indentured servan... Read More On Citysearchbushwels 4/26/2005
Don't waste your time going! I had two treatments and I felt like I was in the room under the steam by myself more than with someone performing the treatments. Then when someone actually came back in the room, I felt like she was rushing to go to the next client.
I did not feel that she did anything on me. In addition, Lia was rude to me as soon as I told her I was not interested in any of the extras.
I've had better... Read More On Citysearchharmall 1/28/2005
Not worth the trip! Never again! The staff was welcoming but the owner was unbelieveably rude. The receptionist area was clean but, the treatment area is way overdue for renovations. It was like one of those apartments that have been neglected with cracked, walls, peeling linolium floors and old files hanging out of pink cabinets.
I had 4 treatments total and there were long periods of time of just waiting f... Read More On Citysearchsofic 1/8/2005
A Day of Beauty My experience at the Lia Schorr Day Spa was one that I'll never forget. I felt absolutely swept away in a sea of relaxation. The highly skilled practitioners administered their services with exceptional professionalism. I was completely satisfied with the results of my facial, manicure, and body massage. The owner, Lia Schorr, greeted me warmly and ignited great expectations. My expectations were... Read More On Citysearchmaltine 5/18/2004
Pamper me with Oxygen I've never had an Oxygen Treatment. Was I in for an treat! Misting and minerals and vitamins. A mist of vitamins. It's like food for your skin.
I thank Lia Schorr because, when I got home my husband thought I looked 10 years younger.
Everyone should try it. Your face deserves it.

How do I face the world? Go to Lia Schorr's Skin Care Salon on Lexington Ave. right off 57th Street. You will be nurtured and you're skin will be taken care of by experts. I had a problem with acne when I started going to Lia Schorr's for facials. The facials are wonderful, a good cleansing, an excellent massage, and some fabulous masks. The Glycolic Facial, however, is divine. My acne began

leg waxing excellent service and experienced staff. I made an appointment for brow and lip wax and was not disappointed at all. I felt pleased at the after treatment done by tatiana who was attentive all the way. My aftertreatment included calamine and seaweed mask for soothing and calming. That was the best lip and brow wax I have ever had and hence my reason for giving this editorial. Read More On Citysearchssoogrim 5/18/2004
