By Far The BEST 12/13/2007

My girl & I have a history here. We've both been getting microdermmabrassion and Oxygen facials for more than five years. We love the staff here. They do everything to please. The changes in our skin is something amazing. Love to come here and be pampered with natural ice tea and soothing ambiance. The second you enter it's like another world, so pure and soothing. The facials & cleansers that I got here are the best I ever tried. It's the perfect place for all you need for facials and massages. Try the couples massage. It's so romantic being with your special someone together. Pros: best of everything,late appts' available more

Low Grade/Quality Product - Beware 12/13/2007

Terrible service, and low grade product from overseas repackaged. Having been to over 100 spas worldwide, this is definitely on the bottom of the list. Cons: low grade products, dirty more

Love my face 12/5/2007

If you want the best facial possile don't miss this great spa. Skin Institute has the best facialists anyone could ever find. Sheila has been doing my facials for almost three years and I truly love the way she makes me feel and look. Ranya does my sister's face now and she also is excellent. The micro-dermabrassion is unbelievable. Both of us have had them. It makes your skin so,so,so soft! This is the only place that gets rid of all your black heads and white heads. They take their time. Whenever I call for an appointment Sonya asks me what the best time is for me. She'll even schedule me after class,which is 9 pm. The guys are also nice. I have not tried a massage yet,but my freinds have told me that they have hade great massages that almost put them to sleep. These womwn are all so talented and always fill up a bag of samples to go home with you.The change in my appearance has been noticed by classmates who say I look so much better. more

best spa experience 11/12/2007

My gift certificate expired last month but when I call they said it was ok.Even that it was so late I could use it. That was how the best spa experience began. The girl gave me delicious lemon-ade and some healthy nuts. Then Shiela gave me a incredible vitamin c facial that made me look new. She massage and cleaned my face like for a long time. After I went to one of the rooms in the back and Cecellia did a body scrub that smelled like fresh cranberrys. It smelled delicious. She wraped me in a hot blanket with cranberry shay butter that made my skin soft as a babys butt. All the time it was so quite with people walking softly noy making noise. My sister got a microdermabrasion facial with Ranya and loved it. It was the best one she had and was only $80.00 even tho it was more then an hour. Ranya gave her a deep cleaning of all her bumps and left her face smoothe. All of this time we had beautiful rothat were soft and roomy so we could feel comfortable. I thank all of them for making this special for us. They were too nice to let me use the gift certificate and I appreciate that. We both got little bags filled with samples and stuff. I think that is good for customers to feel appreciated. Pros: best spa, best customer service more

Best Facial 11/3/2007

I get the best facial here because they care about skin. This is the expert skin place in Miami. Everybody knows to come for the best facial you can have your face so clean with out any blackheads left. Everything is perfect. I love the beautiful rooms that are so peaceful. Everybody here makes you feel at home. They bring you fresh juices (home-made) and healthy snacks. Even if you just come in to buy the face cleaner they will give you something to eat and drink. I love the service. This is the best. Pros: Best facial, best service, beautiful & open late Cons: nothing more

Best, Best, Best Facial 10/25/2007

I looked up Best Facial on line and forund Skin Institute. Everybody says its the best. It was the 100% true. Best facial of my life. Always before I ask to have a good cleaning but they didn't. So I didn't know at Skin Instiute what to expect. Shela got every thing clean like I never saw. She told me it might hurt, but it was the best facial with my face so clear when she finished. She took her time and explain to me everything. I like to know what is on my face and what for. All the creams worked and didn't smell like perfume. Everything pure and clean. The microdermbrashion felt good, like everything was smooth. It made my skin look like new. The mask was cool and felt good. Even fell asleep for how long???I bought a face cleanser to use home to keep my skin looking perfect. I want this fresh look forever. Everybody notice how good my skin is now so I'll be back. And the price is the best too. Pros: 100%Best Facial, Beautiful place,nice people,many choices Cons: nothing more

amazing facials 10/17/2007

I am so happy to find Skin Institute on City Search. It is so hard to find a really high quality place in Broward or Dade.My first facial was amazing. My face was left in the best condition ever. There are no more bumps or redness.They gave me a unique lemon-aid that also had cucumbers. Yummy! This is a real paradise like no other. My boyfriend and I made an appointment for a couples massage for 8 pm Fri. night . It was so romantic together in a candlit room with sensual music. Our robrs were so soft and comfy, I didn't want to leave. The white wine added to the romance. The experience here is better than any place else. They do everything to make you feel special. Everyone is so happy and helpful. We left with a gift bag of free samples and cool t-shirts. Everything was perfect. Immaculate, romantic,beautifully decorated and lots of good energy. Pros: best of everything, unique gift selection,high standards more

FACE FIXER 9/23/2007

O.k. so you need your face fresh & clean. This is where you need to come. They will have you looking like a new person in 1 hour. It's like magic, only better. My face was a mess & Shella worked on it, steaming,squeezing,smoothing. It was the most super teriffic facial I ever had. I left the old me behind. I love how my face looks & everybody tells me that it's 100% better. My aunt & cousin went last night & were blown away by there treatments. They both look like cover girls. No spots or uneven skin. We all love the cool quiet setting with dim candles that you can smell the minute you get off the elevator. And the beautiful curtains & oriental design. You feel like your not even in Miami. Maybe some cool oasis. They offer you organic teas & yummy lcucumber emonade and have healthy munchies. The robes are big & comfortable. Everything is perfect, Quiet, relaxing and they always give you a bag of samples to take home & try. Nobody tries to seel you stuff. This is such a wonderful place I wish I could come every day. Pros: best facials, beautiful, best staff,excellent products more

Best Facial Anywhere and Reasonably Priced 8/3/2007

I have a lot of experience getting deep pore facials so it's not easy to impress me. I moved to Miami 6 months ago and found Sheila through Citysearch. Sheila gives me the absolute best facials that I've ever had, and at a very reasonable price. I've paid twice as much for awful results. Many estheticians are afraid to do extractions -- not Sheila! Say goodbye to your blackheads...By the way, her products are awesome too -- I just don't see the same results with department store brands. Don't worry, she'll give you plenty of samples. Pros: great extractions, reasonably priced Cons: none! more

Best Facials Anywhere 7/8/2007

Take note of this. Skin institute gives the best facials anywhere. They have several facialists who all do a great job but Shela's my favorite. My brother told me about her when he went to get rid of his acne. Now he looks completely different, clear skin. 3 of my coworkers started going and we all love the ambiance. When my sisters are in town we all go for facials and massages. Heck, we make it a party. We all get what we want and we get to pick which masseuse and facialist that we want. I always get Shela since I've benn coming there the longest. But the other facialists do a great job too. What a great place with lots of interesting things. They sell great gift items that aren't expensive and their cleansers and creams are the best. Nobody pushes you, in fact the'll pack samples to try in a cute Skin Institute bag. This is the only place to go if you're serious about your face (and body) I give Skin Institute 5 Stars. Pros: best facials, best body wraps, best staff Cons: only ONE Skin Institute more

SUPERB FACIAL EVER! 5/30/2007

Sheila gave the best, most thorough facial ever! I just moved from Chicago and an esthetician myself (unbeknownst to her) and with a wedding coming up, my skin's been acting up. Sheila was able to take me late, and treated me like she's known me for years. She took care of ALL of my blackheads and brewing zits! And then used a lymphatic machine to smooth out the bumps. I've received quite a few facials in my lifetime, and although hers is pretty much no frills, as in no neck or hand massages, her concentration on my face was impeccable. Nothing was overlooked. She even gave me samples to try! Always a plus! A little hard to find... no visble sign. 12 story, white residential/ business building, right past US 1 on corner, before the marina. Park in back and find glass doors where security desk will buzz you in. A fabulous, affordable find Pros: extremely thorough facial Cons: a little hard to find in dark more

Best in Miami 5/8/2007

A must when visiting Miami is a trip to skin institute for the most amazing facial. It's worh the trip from south beach hotel for the best facial. Ask forf Shiela and you'll have this exceptional facial. She won't let you leave with any blackheads, just the cleanest, freshest skin. She tells you what she's doing as she goes along. Any questions? Just ask, she'll answer any skin questions. My skin still looks great and I was there over spring break! My clear skin really lasts. The quiet serenity helped relax me while I took in the aroma therapy and heavenly music. It felt like I was far away from all the noise and stress outside. My lavender body scrub-wrap with Cecelia made me feel like a million. All the dry, flaky skin was scrubbed off and then softened with buttery cream that she massaged in and then heated in a toasty-warm wrap that enveloped me. She worked the cream in relaxing me till I was like jello. I must do this whenever I come back to miami again. I had a wonderful experience with professionals who know all about service. Pros: Best Facials,beautiful spa,fun more

Finally, I've found the greatest facial spa! 3/4/2007

I found The Skin Institute here in CitySearch by chance. I just moved to Miami from NYC in August '06 and needless to say was long overdue for a deep pore cleansing facial. The place was not hard to find at all. When I booked my appt., I was given excellent directions. When I walked in, I felt relaxed already. Sheila greeted me immediately and ushered me in to the treatment room. She explained everything that she was going to do and what products she was using. I knew I was in for some pain but like I tell my daughter, ""with beauty comes pain"". I think she removed each and every blackhead on my face. And she treated me to some cool relief afterwards. I left there a little red in the face but felt exceptionally clean. I will definitely continue to visit Sheila for my facials and I'm anxious to try all of the other services they have to offer. I just needed that facial more than anything at the moment and it was awesome. I highly recommend this place and so glad I found it here on Citysearch. Pros: Excellent Customer Service. Relaxing setting. Exceptional Value more

Thanks ! 3/1/2007

When my friends told me I looked ""faded"" I knew I needed help ASAP. So they told me to book a micro-dermabrasion facial with Shela at the skin institute. Two of them go regularly, and they both look fabulous.Probably the best advice I ever got. I go every month or so and she does something that makes my face look bright and fresh. this micro-dermabrasion is the best invention ever. It doesn't hurt or anything. It just does something that makes your skin radiate. I look better than ever. She explains the process in a way that I understand and is so patient with all my questions. All this exceptional service is just the beginning. There's always something cool to drink, like home-made lemonaid or cold chai-latte along with healthy snacks. The rooms are quiet with wonderful scents that you can smell from outside. I wanted to buy this great face wash that she used in my facial, but she insisted that I take a free sample first. No hard selling here! Sometimes I pick up last-minute gifts; there's a great selection of spa gifts and candles for little money. I'm in love with this place. It's the kind of place you feel at home in and can always find something interesting. Pros: Incredible results,peaceful environment,excellent products more

my best facial 12/12/2006

This was my best facial. Got a birthday gift certificate and was blown away by the service. Never had such a great facial. So good that I've been back already for another super duper facial with Sheila. My original facial with her showed how good my skin could look with the right stuff. I went back and found out I could look even better. What a deal. I'm hooked. They also have great stuff to use at home for good prices. The face wash is like nothing else I ever tried. My face looks super clean. I highly recommend a facial here. You'll look and feel like a million. And the price is much better than any place else. Pros: facials,ambiance,service,prices Cons: zero more

I Love Skin Institute 11/5/2006

I love Skin Institute and want to tell everyone how special it is. Just open the door and smell the soft aromas. A smiling face will greet you and offer you some unique fresh lemonade. No need to wait, because they are always on time. Each therapist is chosen specifically for your type of skin or your special request. See Shiela for your bumps or acne, Hilda or Rania for a european style facial. Ceccelia or Ingrid will knead your sore muscles till you almost fall asleep, All of them are too good to be true. My cousin tried Ignasio and loved his style. Each one is unique. Some only work weekends or evenings, so make sure you let them know if you have a favorite so you can have your appointment with your choice. I still haven't met all of the therapists, but so far, so good! They give you their best and seem to love it. You always leave with a goody-bag of samples. Try the great moisturizers, then you can buy one on your next visit. Because you will keep returning for more treatments. They're all so good that you won't be satisfied with just one. Pros: XXXcellent service, great products, Free parking Cons: zero more

always the best 10/22/2006

even as they keep growing, they are still the best. i've been coming since they were downtown about 9 years ago. I had a problem with acne that's now long gone. My friends all come now. sometimes a few of us get together for facials and wraps, then head across the street for some Einstein bagels or Starbucks and make it a day out. everybody is sweet and helpful here. they won't try to sell you what you don't need. I like that. my face looks younger than when I first started coming. the decor is a peaceful asian theme with calming candles & music. this is where to go to get away fro it all! Pros: best service, top quality products, excellent results more

the best facial I ever had 10/7/2006

I was so taken by this place that I had to write a review. Not only is the atmosphere beyond any place you've gone for a facial but the people who work there are so warm they felt like old friends. For a private spa in a building off Biscayne Blvd. Skin Institute is full of great surprises. First and foremost is the spectacular facial that Shela gives. Amazing is the best way to describe it. She's the best facialist around and gives you her all. You can feel that this woman loves what she does. Everyone here is cheerful and happy to make your stay enjoyable. They are professionals who care and want you to return. They will customize your treatments to suit you. They use the best products and the body scrubs are almost edible, they smell so good. The prices are the best I have found, but most important is the level of excellence. Pros: best facial, best atmosphere, best attitude Cons: only one Skin Institute more
