Do yourself a favor...

by Melaniessss February 15, 2009

...and go see Gail!!!! I decided to go to her after reading a small blurb about her services in Time Out New York magazine. I am so glad I did - after struggling with mild/moderate acne for several years, seeing dermatologists, trying literally everything I could - Gail's facials have completely changed my skin for the better. I get a (very affordable) Acne Facial, which is a salicylic peel followed by extractions and the use of a high-frequency machine to get rid of bacteria and promote healing. She offers other services though (specializes in peels) and also has her own line of effective products which are wonderful, even for people with sensitive skin like myself. Going to do this once a month has brought my skin to a place that a year ago, I could not have imagined, and every time I go, it gets even better. This is the one place I have been to get a facial where you can go home with your face actually looking NICE, not like someone just took a scalpel to it!

Everything about GKAY is great - the services, the products, the results you will see (because you will see them) and also, Gail herself...she is such a sweetheart and so kind to people who have skin issues that might be a bit of a sore subject for them to talk about! She believes in eating healthy, drinking plenty of water and taking care of yourself over super harsh treatments. She is truly concerned with the happiness of her clients and will take the time to get to know you, your skin and your personal issues. CHECK HER OUT!!!!

New York's Best Kept Secret for Great Skin

by rolfie   January 04, 2008

I decided to try Gkay after a recommendation from a friend and I am so very glad I did. I have struggled with acne since my teenage years and after seeing Gail for two months I now feel comfortable not wearing makeup (that is absolutely huge for me)! She does a great job of giving you and your skin individual attention. She gave me great advice on little changes to make in my daily routine that would make a huge difference in my overall skin health. Plus she has her own line of skincare products which are absolutely amazing. Her services are also highly affordable.

Amazing Daily Facial Products

by kddoxey  December 07, 2007

I'm a divorce mom of a 3 year old son. I work from home. It's been easy for me to sit in the confines of my home and sulk and not take care of myself for no one but my son sees me. I didn't know how to feel good about myself anymore. Then I tried some products recommended by Gail, the GKay esthetician. The products were simple to use and forced me into a daily routine. I now wash my face each night with the cleanser provided, tone with the amazing aloe toner and then use the incredible night treatment that after only a few days helped diminish the fine lines that were around my eyes. In the morning, I use the enzyme scrub to exfoliate my skin. I instantly noticed the difference in my skin making me feel younger and optimistic again. After a week, I was feeling so much better about my appearance that I was encouraged to begin running again as I used to and to eat healthier. I'm so happy with the results of the skincare products I got from GKay and how they have greatly improved the appearance of my skin and gave me the push I needed to improve other areas of my life.

Caring skin care professional

by candc07 August 16, 2007

I have oily skin and lately developed cystic acne.

Looking through the site, i decided to try Gkay. Gail is warm and caring, and I felt comfortable as soon as i arrived. She gives one on one care, and you get undivided attention. After reviewing my lifestyle choices, she gave me advice on how to adjust it, in order to have better skin. I've been going for a month so far, and i got 2 acne peels. My skin was breaking out pretty bad, and now i can see it getting better and better. By the way, i'm a dark skinned, so I can say that Gail knows skin, whatever the type. I recommend highly this place.

Best Solution to Acne and Aging

by evanssd1  May 22, 2007

I recently ordered the mini extractions kit and the high frequency machine and they were both worth every penny. I had tried everything to clear up my skin and NOTHING was working. It was dry, irritated, and broken out. As soon as I received my order from Gkay I followed the directions and gave myself a facial. My face looked and felt better that night. The next day I was well on my way to clear, balanced skin. I'm 36 and was desperately trying to address aging and acne. I have finally found the answer.

Great products, WONDERFUL SERVICE, LOVE GKAY!

by amybedor May 17, 2007

Gail is WONDERFUL. I met with her for a chemical peel I wanted to get before my wedding. She carefully listened to my concerns and convinced me that I did not need it and suggested other options. She gave me a facial and a mild peel on my face and back. Her facial was FANTASTIC. She is sincere and will not perform a procedure she does not believe in just for the money.

I purchased a scrub from her that i ABSOLUTELY LOVE! I used it during my wedding week in the Bahamas and my face was glowing the entire time. Everyone is still commenting on how beautiful my face looked on my wedding day. I will definitely visit with Gail again and will not purchase my scrubs anywhere else.  I can not wait until my next visit!!

Loved it!

by jaker9999  August 19, 2006

I have not been to many spas or facialist because I have always been hesitant with people touching my skin... I went to Gail based on recommendation from a friend who sees her frequently and have to say that I was extremely satisfied.... Cleanliness is important to me and she emphasised that everything was sterilized at gKay before and after each client... but the best part was the day after my facial.... My skin looked amazing... and all the advice and recommendation she gave me regarding acne... helped a lot... I already called and made anther appointment... I know that having acne-free skin does not occur over night but am glad that I found gKay because Gail is very knowledgable and I loved the results afterwards....

if you want great skin you must go

by di_world26  May 28, 2006

I've been to Gail three times now after hearing about her on here- she's great! I always get the peel and facial, and she's so attentive to spending quality time on your skin and never rushing anything. She also is quite honest in telling you what the results will be, and although it might not be what you want to hear, how many spa's have made promises they never deliver? And do test her products. I use the facial cleanser and the aloe vera toner daily, and though she won't push them on you, you should try them! My skin is better after each visit- results aren't visible over night but I can see with time that it's getting better. Thank you Gail!

Great Facial

by egottlieb9978    May 21, 2006

I just went to gKay for a facial and was very happy with the results. Gail was very sweet and made me feel comfortable. She was not a pushy product pusher and my face feels soft and less bumpy. This is the first time that I left a facial with no red marks! If you have sensitive skin and always scar this is the person to go to. Gail Rocks!

I've tried the rest and GKAY is the best!

by danamason   March 26, 2006

I have been to dermatologists, alternative healers and several spas to treat my Rosacea and breakouts. I had been looking for a skincare professional for many years. Anti aging and skin texture is my main concern due to all of the treatments I have used over the years. The facial with a peel was the best thing I could have done for my skin. Gail diagnossed what my skin needed immediately and the treatment was very gentle and super effective. Others noticed the healthy glow immediately and I had no irritation, I ALWAYS get irritated after a process. The personalized attention, privacy and environment was superior to any establishment I have ever been to and Gail's knowledge, professionalism and personality set her establishment aside as a true find. Gail makes you feel like you are her only client. I will NEVER go anywhere else.

Highly Recommended

by greenmind   March 21, 2006

I have suffered with acne prone/oily skin my entire life. Since visiting Gkay on a fairly regular basis for her fantastic facials with a peel, my skin has looked great! Last week I decided to try one of the chemical peels. It has now been a little over a week andI am thrilled with the results. My skin is so smooth and clear! For anyone with problem skin, I would definitely recommend gail.

Great experience for first time facial!

by ekukner   March 21, 2006

When I decided to get a facial for the first time, I read a lot of reviews of different places before I found GKay from city search and I am glad I chose this place! Gail is very nice, prices are reasonable and the place is very private and clean. She knows what she is doing and I had a great experience. I have pretty good skin but after the facial, it was glowing more. Even my fiance realized how healthy my skin was looking. Definitely recommend to everyone!

Highly Effective Skin Care

by germs_68  January 28, 2006

For acne-prone skin, she first applies the concentrated peel; then steaming, extractions, and high-frequency anti-bacterial treatment follow. THe facial takes around 45 minutes or so, including a shoulder and head massage that alone is worth it- although sometimes better than others.

As for products, highly recommend the Aloe Vera Toner and the Glycolic Moisturizer. After a few days of using the glycolic moisturizer, you'll actually be able to rub off thin layers of skin in the shower- leaving your skin more even and noticeably softer and clearer.) You should inquire about the products- Gail is definitely NOT PUSHY about her products and sometimes does not even mention them -you may not even realize what you're missing out on! THe facials are only half the battle, you must have a consistent and effective skin care routine at home.

For professional and EFFECTIVE skin care, gKay truly is one of the best.

One of a kind...

by techxplosion   January 12, 2006

This wonderful lady is absolutely FANTASTIC. I visited Gail, and I have not even one negative thing to say about her. Her place is really nice and private, and everything is just perfectly right. As soon as I went in, she sat me down and offered me lemon juice. We than starting talking about my diet and what to avoid in order to achieve a healthy looking skin. Afterwards, She took me to a private room where the peeling procedure took place, and even gave me a few tips for treating my skin throughout the entire day!
I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. GUARANTEED THAT YOU WILL LEAVE WITH A SMILE!! KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK GAIL! I CAN"T WAIT TO VISIT AGAIN!

One In Million

Simply Wonderful...

by echickie   August 03, 2005

I've always been quite hesitant about getting facials because of my super sensitive skin, but I have to say my facial with Gail was absolutely amazing!! First, there is privacy and the one-on-one consultation, in which Gail offers such great advice on nutrition and skincare in general. Second, she has a very gentle touch and for someone who has super sensitive skin, that is so important. I am definitely coming back and recommend her services to everyone!! She is an absolute refreshment from all the other shi-shi establishments here in the city. Thank you Gail.

Wonderful results at gkay

by liznyc15    May 04, 2005

I have gone to gkay all but two times now and my skin has completely turned around. My face is glowing and clear, something it has not been for quite some time. I can't wait to go back to have it improve ever more. Gail is really wonderful. She really cares about you and your skin and does not treat you like just another customer. I highly recommend gkay. Gail is really a miracle worker.

Really Really Really Good!

by cassiebl   April 22, 2005

I have to say, gKay is really good! I definitely enjoyed the privacy and one on one consultation. But most important was the outcome. The results of the facial with the glycolic peel were amazing! My face does look and feel much better. After the facial, I have been following with all that Gail told me to do. I have to agree that she is correct! I am glad I found her and plan to tell all my friends about this place.

Truly amazing results

by mehvush  March 29, 2005

Gail is heaven sent. About 2 years ago I had terrible acne. Gail spoke with me about my skin care routine, lifestyle and diet. She simply explained what I could do to help heal my skin. Gail is extremely knowledgeable - she knows exactly what treatment you need, yet she will never push you. I started with a facial and a light peel. As my skin got used to the peels, she increased the strength. She has a very gentle touch - absolutely no soreness. My skin was GLOWING in time for my wedding. I actually have people complimenting my skin! I try to eat better and drink more water so that her job is easier. I moved to Philadelphia and I still travel to NY to see Gail. She is a very talented esthetician and a lovely person - we always have great chats. Thank you Gail!

by hyerian

March 07, 2005

Gail takes such good care of my skin that I no longer have to see my dermatologist! She is my dermatologist and facialist in one! Although she does not operate in a spa, the experience each time is never short of a spa experience. I walk out of there so relaxed each time, it's hard to do anything afterwards!

User review by acp970

by acp970  March 04, 2005

At first I was unsure of what to expect being I wasn't walking into a spa, Gail works out of an apartment. I was sure I was in good hands once Gail started to find out more about my skin even before she touched me. She offered great advice and didn't push products on me which made me feel at ease. Once Gail began my facial, I honestly forgot where I was I was so relaxed. I received a quality facial and never felt rushed. I've been to a few "upscale" spas before and was never all that impressed. However, I was extremely impressed with the quality facial I received by Gail as well as the reasonable prices. Definitely worth trying!

RESULTS

by robinallstadt  March 03, 2005

You won't feel like a mass-produced customer at Gkay. Gayle will take the time to sit with you to learn about you, your history, etc. She believes in caring for skin from the inside-out - she'll find out what your dietary habits are and how you might be able to incorporate changes in diet/vitamins to benefit your skin. Her treatments are AWESOME; very relaxing; very calming; very thorough and productive. And they truly do improve your skin immensely; sufferers of acne should give her a shot. She is GREAT.

Fabulous Facial!

by ksuss    February 08, 2005

I just came back from my second facial/peel from Gail and could not be happier! I have complicated skin and it now feels and looks incredible! After my first visit, some colleagues commented on how good my skin looks. Ditto the comments about Gail being sweet, nonpushy and generous with the samples. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended!!

by star555   February 01, 2005

Truly the best results I've ever gotten from a glycolic peel! Unlike any other place I've been...great personalized service plus a high quality peel (+ massage! among other things...). I highly recommend Gkay! I'm addicted!

skin feels great

by raffysavarino  December 06, 2004

Gail really takes the time to chat and offer advise and suggestions without being pushy! Great facial with a wonderful massage at the end! I will go back!

Gail the Great

by nyc foodie  November 23, 2004

I've been going to Gail for over a year and I have introduced all of my friends to her. I've even taken my brother to get a facial and I visit her every month. SHE IS GREAT! Before she does anything, she asks you about your diet, your beauty routine, medical conditions, etc to make sure she understands you and your skin. She never rushes or pressures you to buy anything you don't need. She'll even recommend over the counter beauty products you can buy from Duane Reade. Her specialty is facials- you won't be disappointed.

Yay for GKay!

by yukyee69   October 30, 2004

Words cannot express my love for GKay! Basically, I ditto all the positive feedback on this site. Great service with great results. The thing that I love about Gail is that she isn't judgmental or critical when she is evaluating your skin. Gail doesn't judge, but rather gives advice based on a thorough analysis of your skin type and diet. Also, my face after each facial has glowed. Another added bonus-Gail gives such heavenly massages after the facial. Gail is not only a wonderful facialist, but a smart, savvy, stand up business person. Her prices are affordable and she sometimes gives samples of her products. Gail never pushes her products onto her customers. You get the whole package at GKay!

AMAZING!!!  

by rudolph12    August 29, 2004

First I should say that I have not had a facial in over 3 years. I actually decided to go to Gkay b/c of all the wonderful citysearch reviews she's gotten. I was so impressed by Gail and how much she cares about her clients!!! I felt like a princess leaving today! My search for an aestetician is over! I had a facial + a beta peel.. get this .. NO redness or blochiness afterwards. It is now 3.5 hours later and my skin looks radiant!! If you are looking for somewhere to get an AMAZING, relaxing facial and you want a bargin AND you don't want to deal with sales pressure... MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH GAIL!!! Your skin will love you for it !!!!!!!

Great Facial!!!

by LatinaAce   June 10, 2004

I am a facial virgin.. never had one done and wanted to make sure that my first time would be the best. Well I found the best with Gail, she takes the time to sit down with you and analyze your skin and your lifestyle. She is open and honest and not pushy at all with her services or her products! My husband commented on how my face was glowing that same nite!! Run, don't walk to Gkay!! Trust me.. it is soo worth it!!!

Gail is so SWEET!

by froggy999   May 21, 2004

I love gKay! I am ethnic with dark skin and was amazingly happy with the results after having a chemical peel and a few regular facial/peels at gKay. My skin has never looked better. I am from Europe and have gone to the best top spas, only to be disappointed. If you are looking for results (not pampering) go to see Gail. You will definitely love her services!

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!

by miriamb1    May 20, 2004

I totally trust gKay with my skin! I have had dozens of facials before. But never was satisfied...After hearing about Gail, I decided to try this place. Now I am hooked! Thanks gKay...

Highly Recommended!

by jeffrey_2004  May 04, 2004

I heard about this place from a bunch of friends who go to see Gail on a regular basis. I never had a peel and thought my face would be all red and would peel. But I was happy with the results. I got the facial with the peel (upon Gail's recommendation) and could see the difference from other facials I had at other places. I would like to try the chemical peel next. Again, highly recommended!

Words cannot express....

by rach67   April 05, 2004

I have had acne for as long as I can remember. Finally, after trying so many things in my life and so many places to get rid of my acne, I can finally see results after visiting gKay. My skin is 95% clear after 4 times at gkay's. It took the peels and what she told me to do at home to finally FINALLY get rid of it all. GOD! It is amazing what a difference! I finally have my confidence back. I owe you so much more, gKay!

great!

by jeffstern   April 05, 2004

THe best place I have been to in all of NY! Check it out. Gail is the best!

Yay for GKay

by ckatz2  March 24, 2004

GKay was fantastic. The service and advice was outstanding. Unlike some dermatologists and beauticians, she was very kind and tactful. The extractions were suprising painless unlike my experience at Bliss. I like the way she assessed my diet. For someone who has celeb clients, her prices are relatively cheap and affordable.

I Love gKay!

by michellebloome   March 16, 2004

I love gKay because of the results, the cleanliness, the privacy and the cost. I had a facial with a peel once and then came back for the chemical peel. My skin looks and feels great. gKay was very honest and correct with her recommendations. I am hooked and will become a regular client from now on.

gKay Rocks! Go There!

by yolandasim23  February 15, 2004

Skin care only is what gKay is about. Not a spa but a place to take care of your skin. I have been to many places in New York and LA but this is the one place that I felt I received the most attention as well as the BEST treatment. Go THere!

The BEST

by valdeon921  February 09, 2004

I have been to almost all of the upscale spas in NYC. I read about gKay on this website and decided to give it a try. Gail is wonderful. She not only takes the time to analyze your eating habits, exercise routines and lifestyle but she remembers everything for your next visit. She takes time to speak with you and the whole process is incredibly private and reassuring. I had a facial and recently went back for a chemical peel. My skin has never looked better. Thanks gKay!

Chemical Peel!

by connolly7   February 07, 2004

Get the Chemical Peel. An amazing anti-aging procedure! I have had several treatments and noticed that the lines around my eyes have been minimized, and that the brown spots are almost completely gone. Amazing! My dermatologist charges a lot more for the same treatment and he does it in less than 2 minutes. gKay charges a lot less for a lot longer.

Flawless!

by marieb450   February 05, 2004

I heard about gKay from someone who told me that all the models go to gKay's. So I had to check it out and see what the fuss is about! This is not a spa but a skin care place. If skin care is what you are looking for... go there. I had the Beta Peel because I had some breakouts and my skin looked flawless for more than a week after the peel. I really enjoyed it and booked another appointment. I can see why this place is often frequented by models and celebrities!

Great Skin Care!

by barrygoldstein

January 21, 2004

gKay specializes in skin care only! And if skin care is what you are looking for, this is the place to be at! Gail provides meticulous service! The consultation she provided was amazing as well as the facial itself. I got the facial with Light Glycolic based on her recommendation. Loved the results. I will keeping going back...

The "BEST" Facial

by shavonne   January 21, 2004

Gail is extremely knowledgeable; it is the "best" facial I have had. gKay is very accommodating and gives you an honest opinion. I highly recommend gKay.

Simply the Best!

by song12   January 13, 2004

If you are looking for quality go to gKay. My skin has never looked better. ANd I have been to so many skin therapists in Los Angeles, London and New York. After several treatments with their peels, I can see a major improvement. MY skin looks fresher and the fine lines seem to become minimized. I highly recommend. Thanks gKay.

I am so happy I found gKay

by bline  November 26, 2003

Wow! Excellent! I am amazed at how wonderful my skin feels and looks just after one time at gKay. THis is a small place.... And from all the fancy places I have been to so far, it was the best. The best because of the service, the cleanliness, and the cost. And of course, the results. I had the Light Glycolic Peel and am considering the chemical peel next to combat my sun damage. Go to gKay is all I have to say!

Get the Chemical Peel!

by mara1030

November 26, 2003

I cannot believe what an amazing difference the chemical peel has done for my skin. When I went to gKay, I did not know what to expect. It was very personalized and private. Gail sees only a limited amount of clients per day. She told me about the Chemical Peel (a deeper peel than AHA peels). I had two so far and was extremely satisfied with the result, the attention, and the cost.

Best facial in NYC...Hands Down

by hallieb   June 09, 2003

Gail is truly amazing. I knew she was different when she interviewed me before the facial! She actually spent about 30 minutes learning about my diet, past skin care, products used, stress levels and so forth. She wants to be informed so she can give you the best treatments possible for your particular skin type and lifestyle! That is so rare in some of the bigger spas.

I am 6 months away from getting married and wanted to find someone who was going to really make sure my skin stays in good shape, especially over the summer. Well, I found her! I will now be on a monthly schedule with Gail!

believe the hype

by nicole_w   June 05, 2003

Gail is incredible: the first half hour was spent analyzing my eating habits, stress level, skincare routine...I felt like she really cared about me and was not in a rush or watching the clock. My skin was feeling dull and tired - one of Gail's peels worked wonders. I have already made an appointment for next month; this is my new addiction but it's 100% worth it. Simply put, if you want to look better, go see Gail.

Gail Cares!!!

by janeumayer  March 26, 2003

I have been to many expensive spas around the world and nothing compares to the care and dedication Gail puts into her customers. I love the one on one service (and hope that it will always be that way). She never uses the clock in prder to cut your treatment time (everybody else does). And she is always happy to recommend products outside of her own. She has won a faithful customer in me.

Wonderful Experience!

by kira5678   March 18, 2003

I went to gKay the other day and can only say what a wonderful experience! First of all, it was very personalized! I had the 40% glycolic peel. Right after the peel, my skin completely glowed. And it was very smooth. From all the places that I have been to, this was by far the best. I've also made an appointment to come back again in three weeks.

babyblues

by babyblues   February 25, 2003

Very private. Gail Kay really takes her time to get to know your habbits and lifestyle to access the best skin care for you. I'm completely addicted.

she got rid of my acne

by kontragucci    February 23, 2003

Gail, was very kind and comforting, she helped me get rid of my acne by her great feeling facials. It was really good she is definitely helpful, kind and honest.

Stunning!

by AliPod    February 07, 2003

I heard so much about gKay from a friend, I finally went to see her. A stunning beauty, who can easily pass for a MODEL! Instead, she chose helping people in skin care. She definitely helped my skin with the several Beta peels she administered. My skin finally looks great. Thanks!

What else can you ask for?

by ams248   February 05, 2003

I'd never had a facial before I went to Gail. I thought the idea of someone putting "beauty" products on my face was asking for trouble. But fortunately a friend gave me a wonderful birthday gift "facial" and I was sold. Now I plan on going to Gail on a regular basis. She explains every procedure & product before applying. She hasn't tried to "force sell" any of her really, really good products. I say really good because I've sensitive eyes and nothing she applied (or trial size) has made my eyes sting or water : ) The news letter she provides has helped some friends with skin issues. What else can you ask for?

Best facial in New York

by danielledee

February 05, 2003

I am a confessed spa junkie. I have been to many of the so-called "best day spas in New York," have receieved countless facials and in fact, many a time I would leave a facial with my skin looking worse than when I came in!! This is why I am extremely happy to have discovered Gkay skincare. Gail is extremely nice, attentive, and she actually performs skin facials and peels produce positive results. She, herself has flawless skin and she is very gentle with her extractions. And by the way,her aloe vera toner, papaya scrub, and glycolic cream are reasonably priced and have really made a difference in the appearance of my skin. I have only been to Gkay twice and my skin has never looked better! Take my advice. Go to Gkay and youll be hooked.

A++

by jen777   February 01, 2003

I first heard about gKaySkinCare through a friend who claimed great results. I joined their newsletter and through that I learned about how knowledgeable they are. I finally decided to try and had the Light Chemical Peel and was more than pleased with the results after just one time. I made an appointment for another one.

Fabulous

by NicolePrice   February 01, 2003

You could not ask for a more informed skin care professional than Gail herself. Try the Light Chemical Peel. I never knew anything about peels before I came to her. Thanks for recommending the Light Chemical Treatment. I just cannot believe how amazing my skin looks. It has a pearly white glow to it and the brown spots seem to have been minimized. Thanks again. I cannot wait for the next treatment.

best facial in new york

by madelinetam   January 31, 2003

My skin has never looked better. My skin looks like I am 21 again. Ms Kay even helped me improve my eating habits. She cares about the inside and the outside. It is a rare treat to find someone like this in today's world. Her place immediately puts you at ease in a city that can sometimes be very stressful. Thanks Ms. Kay - keep up the wonderful work!!

Job Well Done!

by StephanieJamieT   January 31, 2003

For the results you are getting, I think gKaySkinCare is extremely affordable. If the prices were raised, I would still continue to go because thats the one place where I saw results on my face!

Excellent Men's Facial! 

by JeffB234   January 31, 2003

What I like about the service is the private setting. I felt like I was at home! THe facial I received was the Men's facial. I enjoyed it immensely and liked the results.

Great results!

by alank1  January 31, 2003

As a male, I have a lot of ingrown hairs from shaving and Ms. Kay helped treat them by doing the peels and by telling me exactly what to do. Now, I hardly get them. Thank you very much for all of your help!

Best Beauty Experience Ever.

by patsystoneat

January 21, 2003

This is probably the only time in my life that I feel I have gotten what I have paid for, in fact, I got more....Seriously, I would gladly hand over more money for what Gail has done for my skin. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable in her skill, and caring and delicate with my skin. I had a glycolic peel/facial and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience or more thrilled with the results. When I got home after my visit, I immediately called my friends to rave about gKay....I can not wait until my next appointment....I am hooked. Gail, you are amazing.

I am so happy!

I had the Light Chemical Peel Treatment at this place three times so far. A quick procedure with INCREDIBLE results. I had a lot of sun damage from years at the sun but I can see a big difference now. I go to spas all the time and I had microdermabrasion about seven times. What amazes me is I saw more results after JUST ONE chemical peel at gKaySkinCare than seven microdermabrasion treatments at other spas!!! I am just so amazed and happy that I found Ms. Kay.

SIMPLY THE BEST!

Because I started having really bad skin after turning age 23, I have tried dermatologists as well as facialists in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Beverly Hills and all over Manhattan. I wish I had known about gKay earlier. She was the only person who managed to turn my skin back to the way it was before I turned 23 - flawless! And all without medication. She diagnosed correctly what treatment my skin problem needed and it has made a world of difference to my skin. Now I hardly even get pimples!

Excellent Quality!

This was by far the best facial I've ever had! My friend also had facials and felt the same. We were both very satisfied with the quality. If you are looking for a big Spa where you are just a body on the table, this is NOT the place. gKaySkinCare is private, quiet, intimate, and small staffed. G. Kay takes her time in learning about your skin and health habits. She gives you 100% of her attention. And I was not "forced" into buying anything, like most other places. gKaySkinCare specializes in all kinds of peels that target wrinkles and acne. I am a man and also am concerned about wrinkles and happy that she taught me about what REALLY works and what does not. G. Kay is truly knowledgeable and that is refreshing. One drawback: Only one person at a time. But is it worth the wait? Hell yes!

Outstanding!

The facials are outstanding, relaxing and my skin looks great! I have had seven facials so far. I used to have really bad acne, after seven times of going to gKaySkinCare, I now have NO acne! I've never been so happy in my life! gKay does a great job because she REALLY cares. I have been to other places before but no one has helped me as Ms. Kay herself!

Very Good!

I have been to enough commercial spas and dealt with enough hassles to last me a lifetime. Finally, a place where I can receive private skin care. gKaySkinCare were very informative about my health, nutrition, as well as my skin. They specialize in peels. That's what I plan to do next. Even though my first facial was the Standard facial which is a deep pore cleansing facial. I needed it and they did an excellent job.   All I can say is time and money well spent!

Here are some more testimonials not from CitySearch:

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for my first facial session with you this past Tuesday. Everything was done with ease and more than anything else, I appreciate and respect the personalized service you provided. At the end of the day, you just treated me like a human being and this means a lot given the unpredictable and harsh world we live in. Anyway, I hope my fragmented thoughts make sense. I hope to have the opportunity to come by again. Be safe and enjoy your summer!" S.S.H.

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the results of the chemical peel! My skin peeled pretty badly for about 3 days (like you said), then started to get progressively better and better. It is now a little over a week, and I can’t believe how smooth it is! It really did a lot for the acne as well. I couldn’t be happier...thanks again!" Gabriella C.

"Thank you again for the wonderful facial and peel. I was extremely satisified with my experience and would highly recommend your services to someone else. I look forward to see you again in a month or so." Amber C.

"Thanks so much for the list of recommended products for over the counter products, I found the list to be quite helpful. I want to thank you also for making my first facial/peel experience a very relaxing and pleasant one. Your caring and personalized attention to your client's needs are right on track - the atmosphere was very private & soothing- just what I love. I'm looking forward to the chemical peel next. Thank you again for a great service!" Nelda B.

"I received the Standard Facial with Light Glycolic. The session was friendly and informative. Even after one week after the facial, everyone still noticed the change on my face. It is more bright and smoother now." F.E.

"Thank you for a wonderful service. I really appreciate the time you took to talk about my skin care routine. I will definitely be back!" Alison H.

"I've always been quite hesitant about getting facials because of my super sensitive skin, but I have to say my facial with Gail was absolutely amazing!! First, there is privacy and the one-on-one consultation, in which Gail offers such great advice on nutrition and skincare in general. Second, she has a very gentle touch and for someone who has super sensitive skin, that is so important. I am definitely coming back and recommend her services to everyone!! She is an absolute refreshment from all the other shi-shi establishments here in the city. Thank you Gail." Esther Z.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my facial and truly appreciate the skincare advice. You helped simplify my morning and evening routine. As soon as I got home, I threw out most of the products I had. My skin is visibly healthier looking." K.C.

"The facial was wonderful and the skin analysis with Gail was extremely helpful. I couldn't be happier with the results when I saw my skin this morning. I can see and feel the difference in my skin. Thank you for this wonderful experience. I will definitely come again." A.L.

"I really want to thank Gail for the wonderful facial I had. I started to feel the difference in my skin right away. She is very professional. I appreciated all the time that she took talking to me to understand my habits. This was a real personalized treatment. The environment is very private and relaxing. I Look forward my next appointment." Nolly G.

"Amazing every time! My skin changes so much with the seasons and Gail has been able to modify her treatments to suit what my skin needed at that time. I love the mini-massage as well -- I always leave so relaxed, even when I have just had a terrible day at work. I have received many compliments at work with people asking me if I've cut down on my travels lately because my skin looks so good (The answer is no I actually travel more, with the drying airplane air and stress, but you can't tell!" Wan W.

"I wanted to say thank you for such a pleasant experience! You truly are a skin care expert! The day after my first facial with you, many of my friends commented on the improvement in my skin. I am now taking much better care of my skin and myself overall and cannot wait until my next facial with you!" Joannie W.

"I really liked the fact that Gail explained her philosophy and what to expect before the facial and also during the facial. I can really tell she cares about skin care and it was wonderful not to have products forced on me to buy. It was a great experience. Thank you." Enid K.

"I had an excellent experience with your services yesterday. I left feeling renewed and relaxed. It was such a nice escape for me. I would highly recommend your service to someone else - I actually had my mother in mind." Karen L.

"I appreciated the fact that Gail took the time to sit down and really find out about my daily cleansing regimen as well as diet. The facial was wonderful and relaxing and the massage at the end was awesome. I will definitely be telling my friends about gKay!” Grace Acevedo

"I usually go to large spas where I always felt that something was missing. At gKay, I was extremely pleased with the level of expertise, knowledge, and the concern that was given to me.” R.C.

"I am most impressed that Gail takes the time before every appointment--not just the first one--to talk with you about the progress of your skin. Every treatment is fine-tuned to your skin at that particular time. I often feel as if I'm her only client due to the excellent attention she gives. I truly look forward to a relaxing experience (and the massage!) each time I see her.” Lindsay D.

"Gail is extremely knowledgeable. It is the 'best' facial I have had. gKay is very accommodating and gives you an honest opinion. I highly recommend gKay!” Shavonne M.

"Gail is incredibly well-informed on skin in general but in addition has taken the time to peruse peer studies, current skin treatments and new products. She is very honest and forthright in her evaluation of your skin, what is needed and, potentially even more important, NOT needed. I would recommend all skin types, those who are spa junkies and novices alike, and even someone like me who had a horrible experience several years ago and swore off facial treatments...until Gail. Don't walk, RUN to gKaySkinCare...and stay put. I truly cannot believe I was this fortunate to discover her. ” Gwen S.

"I have been to a couple popular spas and the facials didn't compare to the treatment and care I received from gKay. I felt like you cared more about my skin than the money I spent. I will definitely spread the word and come back again!” Angela P.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the facial. I immediately saw a change in my skin the following day. I look forward to my next visit.” Odalys R.

"I really appreciate how much time Gail spent with me, not only working on my skin but talking with me about it. I have been to quite a few spas looking for someone to help me take care of my skin and I finally found it with Gail at gKay! ” Julie St. G.

"I had the chemical peel. The perfect service and experience. Results fantastic! ” Suzanne L.

"Gail, was very kind and comforting, she helped me get rid of my acne by her great feeling facials. It was really good. She is definitely helpful, kind and honest. ” Alan C.

"gKay is very personalized! I had the 40% glycolic peel. Right after the peel, my skin completely glowed. And it was very smooth. From all the places that I have been to, this was by far the best. I've also made an appointment to come back again in three weeks. ” Kira S.

"I'd never had a facial before I went to Gail. I thought the idea of someone putting "beauty" products on my face was asking for trouble. But fortunately a friend gave me a wonderful birthday gift "facial" and I was sold. Now I plan on going to Gail on a regular basis. She explains every procedure & product before applying. She hasn't tried to "force sell" any of her really, really good products. I say really good because I've sensitive eyes and nothing she applied (or trial size) has made my eyes sting or water : ) The news letter she provides has helped some friends with skin issues. What else can you ask for? ” Alicia S.

"I am a confessed spa junkie. I have been to many of the so-called "best day spas in New York," have received countless facials and in fact, many a time I would leave a facial with my skin looking worse than when I came in!! This is why I am extremely happy to have discovered gKaySkinCare. Gail is extremely nice, attentive, and she actually performs skin facials and peels that produce positive results. She, herself has flawless skin and she is very gentle with her extractions. And by the way, her aloe vera toner, papaya enzyme scrub, and glycolic cream are reasonably priced and have really made a difference in the appearance of my skin. I have only been to Gkay twice and my skin has never looked better! Take my advice. Go to Gkay and youll be hooked. ” Danielle Durrani

"This is probably the only time in my life that I feel I have gotten what I have paid for, in fact, I got more....Seriously, I would gladly hand over more money for what Gail has done for my skin. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable in her skill, and caring and delicate with my skin. I had a glycolic peel/facial and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience or more thrilled with the results. When I got home after my visit, I immediately called my friends to rave about gKay....I can not wait until my next appointment....I am hooked. Gail, you are amazing.” Anna T.

"I never knew anything about peels before I came to you. Thanks for recommending the Light Chemical Treatment. I just cannot believe how amazing my skin looks. It has a pearly white glow to it and the brown spots seem to have been minimized. Thanks again. I cannot wait for the next treatment.” Nicole M. Price

"Thanks for a most professional and relaxing facial. I really enjoyed the whole procedure, as well as you and the environment. I read the section "About Peels", and would appreciate you sending me the prices for the treatments. Thanks again. I will now go out to dinner with a clean face!” Carolyn B.

"I loved the facial and would definitely be interested in having one once a month on a regular basis. I gave my grandmother the Standard Facial gift certificate for Mother's Day and she absolutely loved it as well. She is now recommending it to everyone. My boyfriend's next on the facial list!” Vivienne M.

“The facial was outstanding. It was very relaxing and my skin looks great! Gail was so informative and performed an amazing neck, back and shoulder massage!” Susan Gleicher

“I had the Standard Facial. The facial was great! I really feel that my skin is smooth. The massage was great also. I really liked the consultation part, where you told me how to maintain my skin and keep it looking great. Would definitely come again.” Maria C.

“gKaySkinCare is a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere with calming music. Gail was very knowledgeable, professional, informative - obviously knows and loves her profession! It was truly a great treatment! I will recommend to all my friends.” Judith S.

"Excellent facial! Gail is professional, well-informed about skin care, facials and is clearly dedicated to her specialty. The facial is not only thorough but completely relaxing and throughout you can feel Gail's love and involvement in her work." Jacqueline Pomo

“Outstanding facial! I really enjoyed it and will come again.” Lilly S.

“A very pleasant and quiet atmosphere. Made relaxing easier!” M.G.

“Thank you very much for the facial. It was most enjoyable and soothing. I will definitely come again.” Lisa K.

“Thank you for all that you’ve done for me. I have had five facials so far. My face looks great. I have never been happier with all the tips that you gave me. Especially the part about drinking water and using a toner.” D.B.

“What I liked about your service, other than the facial itself, was the consultation part. I never had anyone sit with me one on one like that and take the time to really get to know my health and skin habits. And I agree that great skin comes from the inside as well as taking care of it on the outside!” Maria P.

“I thought I received a wonderful facial. Better than most I have had in the past. I will definitely return. I made another appointment!” S.S.

“Better than the Peninsula Spa!” J.R.

“What I like about your service is your private setting. I feel like I am at home!” Jeff B.

“Your service was by far the best skin care treatment I have ever received. It showed that you really care about my skin and all of its health needs!” Bonnie P.

“Oh, I would definitely say I liked your private home-like environment, without all the commercial hassles of other spas I’ve been too. And my skin looks great as well!” Stephanie Jamie T.

"You have a great service and a very informative Web site. I learned so much about peels since browsing your Web site and since talking to you about it in my last consultation. I would definitely like to try the facial peel next time because I am very concerned about wrinkles." Karen B.
