Brows and Lashes
Clean. precise shaping and lifts from places that actually listen to what you want. definitely where i head to when I want my brows to look like me but better.
My go to for threading when you don't want to have to worry about ending up over shaped since they offer just a clean up as a service.
Book on their website, they book up fast but new appointment slots drop on Sundays

Shobha | SoHo
The best at extensions that don't wreck your real lashes, I've even gotten close to a month without needing a fill with their natural lashes.
Also known for brow lamination. lash lifts and tinting

Envious Lashes | Midtown
They are known for the Nano brow. Perfect if you are growing your brows in or ahve some thinner spots and aren't looking to microblade.
Brow Society NYC | Tribeca
Facials and Skin
Efficient results driven facials that are worth your $$. The places I go when my skin is freaking out, needs a reset or I want to treat myself.
50 minute facials, zero upsell. Great basic facial when I've gone too hard trying out new products nad my face needs a reset. If you do decide to add an extra, I'd go with the light therapy
Heyday Skincare | Tribeca
This one is a splurge but completely worth it. There is a reason every one talks about their Biologique Recherche facial. I treat myself with it for my birthday (and my half birthday, lol).
Rescue Spa | Flatiron
Like Heyday this is a straightforward facial using quality products. I head here when I need extractions and only want to do 30 mins.
Glowbar | Union Square
Hair
Cuts and color that will grow up well and don't require a ton of styling. The places I trust when I want my hair to still look good in 6 weeks.
A must visit if you have textured or curly hair. It's hard to find luxe salons that can handle us but this is the spot. perfect for cuts and color.
Christo Fifth Avenue | Midtown
This location is their flagship and Educational center. Great place to get a seriously discounted cut or color by trained stylists who are just getting schooled in B&B's techniques
Bumble and bumble. | Meatpacking
They do layered cuts super well. The effortless looking lived in kind. The place to head to if you are growing your hair out and trying to survive the awkward stage,
Spoke & Weal Noho
Nails
Polishes that last and the latest nail art, these are my regulars for manicures and pedicures that hold up.
Best selection of nudes, super calm experience and manis and pedis that last.
JINsoon Spa | Tribeca
Part cafe, part nail salon. Defintiely the place to head for creative nail art and th matcha is pretty good too.
Chillhouse | Soho
You've probably seen the brand but their namesake slaon is just as good. Another good spot to hit for nail art no one else will have and they have a million and one colors to choose from.
Paintbox | Flatiron
