As much as I love doing my own hair and makeup, there are many occasions when I’d rather forgo the stress and leave it to the experts. Whether you’re needing a fresh blowout for a special event or wanting to decompress, you’ll find some of the best beauty treatments here in New York City. It’s one of the luxuries of living here – and I’ve been lucky enough to come across some of the most talented and passionate beauticians in the world that I constantly return to. If you’re wondering where the best beauty services in NYC are, scroll ahead.…

BLVD
BLVD is my top choice when it comes to a one-stop destination for beauty. It’s a new concept that offers virtually every beauty service you might need in one sitting. Here, you’ll find premier brands like DreamDry for blowouts, Pucker for makeup and eyelashes, Valley for nails, and Spruce & Bond for waxing and laser treatments. What I love most about BLVD is that they’re extremely punctual and efficient, getting you in and out fast but always fab. The space is very upscale but still comfortable – and overall, a wonderful experience.
Currently, you can find BLVD at their standalone salon in Scarsdale, NY as well as inside Neiman Marcus at the Short Hills Mall in NJ. There will be more BLVD locations popping up in Neiman Marcus stores – the next one being Hudson Yards in NYC on March 15.
Nexxus New York Salon
Another salon that I often stop by for full-scale beauty services is Nexxus. The welcoming, tranquil ambience is always ultra relaxing. Not only that, but Nexxus always takes extra care to ensure the treatments you pay for are meticulously tailored to your hair. I would highly recommend the treatment for damaged hair. It’s definitely a high-end hair salon with prices to reflect it – but totally worth it, especially with such knowledgeable hair experts.

Dr. Barbara Sturm
Dr. Barbara Sturm is my latest discovery in skin – and one that I’ve been obsessed with, which comes as no surprise considering her cult following of A-list celebrities and super models. She specializes in non-surgical treatments that rejuvenate the skin, focusing on skin quality, structure, contours and firming. I recently experienced the pop-up spa in SoHo and instantly became a fan. Note that a permanent New York City location is coming soon – this is one to watch!
Glamsquad
When it comes to on-location services, Glamsquad is my go-to. You guys know that this is a service I swear by during fashion week! With just one click, you get a team of hair, makeup, and nail artists that’ll have you glam and ready for any occasion. From special events to weddings, they do it all! (Note: The look below was done by Glamsquad.)

L’appartement Caudalie Spa
The Caudalie Spa on Madison Avenue offers an array of services from baths and wraps to facials to massages and scrubs. If you’re looking for a premier spa treatment that doesn’t feel over the top regal, you’ll love this one. It looks more like a chic, French apartment but still leaves you feeling decadent – the vibe and smell is everything! I highly recommend trying the anti-aging Premiere Cru facial, which will transform dull skin into pure radiance and youth.
The Peninsula Spa
For a truly luxurious spa experience, the Peninsula Spa is not to be missed. Despite being situated right among 5th Avenue’s iconic shops, in it’s an ideal retreat away from the bustling city life. The spa is at the top of the hotel giving you some gorgeous views, plus massages that are out of this world. It feels so private and intimate. Some of the services I recommend are the MBR facial, CYRO 3R facial, and the Swedish massage. Make sure you block out at least 2 hours here!
