The best, near painless, meticulous extractions ever comes from 50+ years experience. I came in with a massive open painful pimple, and somehow even after the masks and extractions, the skin around it looked better and less inflamed. No frills but more than made up by the technical skills of the team for the price. Recommend their packages! They’re not pushy about it, but it’s simply just worth it.

Annie and the rest of the staff are the best. This is the place for facials ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE! My wife and I have referred Avani to all family and friends looking for a facial center. We were referred by a friend... that was 17 yrs ago. How time flies!

I highly recommend Avani Beauty! I first heard about this place from my mom and aunt, and I’m so glad I tried it. I’ve been struggling with stress-related breakouts and acne scars, but after coming here, I finally see real improvement.
The esthetician is very patient, knowledgeable, and kind. She took the time to explain everything that was happening with my skin and what to expect during recovery. She was absolutely right—my face has improved so much after just 2–3 visits.
Her facials are basic but effective. I usually come for a deep pore cleansing facial, and while deep cleanings can sometimes be painful, she always makes me feel comfortable by distracting me with conversation. She’s also very honest—never pushes products or unnecessary services, and her prices are affordable. Plus, she gives a very relaxing massage at the end, which makes the whole experience even better.
I’ve tried other places before, but many either hurt my skin or pressured me into buying expensive products. Here, I finally feel like I can trust someone with my face. She has over 20 years of experience, and it really shows.
A few notes: she only offers basic facials (no fancy machines), but her skill and care make up for it. She works Thursday to Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM, so make sure to call ahead—weekends book up quickly. She also only accepts cash, so keep that in mind.
If you’re looking for a reliable, affordable, and professional facial, I truly recommend this place!

The best place for facials in New York! The owner and staff are genuinely kind, caring, and give top-quality service every time. I’ve been coming here on and off for over 30 years, and it’s truly amazing in every way—skill, service, and value. Every visit feels like coming back to family, as they always welcome me with open arms. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, you’ll feel the warmth and personal touch that make each visit special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great results and a relaxing experience!

I am obsessed with Annie and the Avani beauty team!!! I have tried so many different estheticians and no one tops Annie. Painless, well done extractions, she's a wizard with skin. I feel cared for and always look forward to my appointments.

Best facials in New York City iykyk! I got my eyebrows micro bladed here a few months ago and it completely changed my routine. It’s a no fuss spa that really focuses on your skin health and cleanliness! I go at least once a quarter to make sure I get my relaxing facial massage and my pores are cleared of pollution and gunk!Highly recommend.
