The 15-minute scalp massage--a seemingly endless series of rubs, strokes, and even strangely enjoyable hair tugs--was a godsend. The treatment even purports to stave off hair loss, a bonus for those tearing their locks out over a looming presentation or their own personal Dwight Schrutes."       Reviews from our customers: "Dear Faina, thank you very much for the wonderful experience at your spa. The atmosphere and staff was wonderful. Lana gave a majestic massage and Faina performed a perfect pedicure and maicure. Your facial was very relaxing and therapeutic. Lunch was lovely and so was the gift. I look forward to enjoying the services of your spa again and hopefully soon. I will definitely recommend your spa to my friends and family". ( Janet Monserrat) "I had a facial with microdermabrasion and I was very satisfied with the results. Staff was very friendly and profesional. I will definitely go back again!" (Sanya) "I'd like to say what a wonderful experience I had when I visited the spa last week. Faye gave me a perfect facial and Maria's reflexology was a dream. Very relaxing! Thanks so much." (Christina Degaitis) " Faina and her staff are excellent--professional, courteous and they know what they are doing. After having tried a number of the well publicized spas in New York City, Faina is the best place I return to. The pedicures, manicures, massages and microdermabrasions are the best. My skin has never looked better. To my mind, Faina is the spa where the locals go and confident in recommending." (Maryr Rose Conboy) "Good Afternoon, On behalf of Kim Taylor, Terry Frazier and myself - we would like to thank the associates of your estabilishment for very professional treatments we received this past Saturday. It was one of the high points of our short trip to NYC, and we hope to schedule another visit with you upon our return to the city in the next few months. On a personal note, I have visited day spas all over the world, and found yours to be of very high quality both in product and staffing. Again, we extend our sincerest appreciation for the services received." (Jacqueline Montanez) "Hi Monica and everyone at Faina: This is Angela Moore.  You may remember me bringing my sister Eve to your spa the day after Thanksgiving for a complete treatment.  It was her first visit to NY from England, and the VERY first time she had had any type of spa treatment, not even a manicure! Can I just tell you from my sister how utterly fantastic a time she had.  She left the salon feeling like a new person and had never experienced just luxury, rejuvenation and pampering.  She thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and was sad only when it was over. Eve thought everyone did an amazing job on her from head to foot.  Her manicure, pedicure lasted for days and the massage opened up her chest and helped her to breathe much better.  She is eagerly awaiting her next trip to NY so that she can repeat the experience. The decor of the salon was beautiful to walk into and so clean and welcoming.  The staff were non-intrusive and she was completely relaxed.  It was an amazing experience for her and she thanks and congratulates every member of the staff. I"ll come to get my own treatment sometime after the holidays.  Until then, wishing you all very happy holidays and a super and successful New Year.   Sincerely and with love, Angela Moore and Eve."
