Editorial Review for Bliss 57 – by Sandra Ramani
The Scene
Enter the shimmering LVMH building on 57th Street, get a special pass from security, then zoom up to the sister spa to Marcia Kilgore's outrageously popular Soho beauty mecca. This one is smaller, but with a more high-tech look: ultra-suede walls in the waiting room, a definite high-rise feel and stunning views. The crowd is more Upper East Side mavens and midtown execs than Soho scenesters--and splurging tourists, of course. It's one of the most expensive spas in the city, so who knows who you'll find sipping white wine in the waiting room.
The Services
Many of the signature Bliss services have made it north of 14th Street: numerous facials, countless peel/mask/oxygen add-ons, microdermabrasion, cellulite blasters, body massages, the Lemon Peel body scrub and waxing (using the pretty painless Poetic wax). There is a wet room, so body treatments like the "Ginger Rub" and "Mineral Rub" are available.

I've always had a good experience at the Bliss 57 location. I have my favorite techs but I'm sure they are all very good. The staff at the counter is always very nice and the complementary bottle of water you get upon check in is a nice touch too. I always book my manicures and pedicures through Svetlana as they last for weeks, she's amazing and I actually was lucky enough to find my bikini waxer for life. Book with Sasha for Brazilian waxes, the procedure is of course not painless as they claim, but it was the least painful brazilian I have ever had (and I've been to all the top salons in the city that claim they have the best reputation for bikini waxes). The rooms are very nice and Sasha did an excellent job in making me feel comfortable, I have very very sensitive skin and my redness was virtually gone about 10 minutes after the wax. I will only be going back to Bliss for my Brazilians!
Pros: Beautiful facility, clean, nice staff.
Cons: Expenisve
