Joanna Vargas - New York

Three floors above Fifth Avenue at 501 5th Ave, the Joanna Vargas New York spa is built around signature facials in light-filled treatment rooms. The Triple Crown Facial is a featured treatment, and the menu also covers advanced skin technology, light therapy and body treatments, though availability varies by location. A Skin Code Quiz helps match treatments to concerns such as dryness, redness, breakouts, fine lines, dullness, pigmentation, enlarged pores and dark circles. All treatments are by appointment, booked online or by phone, and gift cards and bridal and group bookings are available. The spa is owned by women. Rated 4.7 from 544 Google reviews, 500 of them five stars and 29 one star. Each treatment is tailored to the skin that day, and clients are asked to arrive with a clean face if they can, though the team cleanses before every facial.
