I found GingerChi's Heaven & Earth Gua Sha facial through a Google search for "best facials in NYC" and it absolutely did not disappoint! Anna welcomed me into the space with such warmth and kindness. We immediately connected over great conversations. She explained the procedure every step of the way and my face was truly transformed afterwards. We didn't think of doing before/after photos, but an hour and a half with Anna definitely made a huge difference to my face. I felt like a work of art! Or a sculpture even. :)
The products used during the facial smelled great and worked wonders--to the point where my skin does not work with other products since (especially those that have harsh or toxic ingredients.) I'm also more aware of how my skin reacts to different products now. I bought a beautiful jade gua sha right after, as well as the oil cleanser and muslin cloth. I received a gift bag with samples of all the products used during the procedure and have used them to the last drop. I am also shopping GingerChi goodies now for my friends outside of NYC because I can not stop raving about this place!
I'm due for my second 1.5 hour facial this week and I really can't wait! The energy in the space and Anna's care for what she does is very healing and unique. It has changed the way I take care of my face and myself in general. I've only had two other facial treatments in my lifetime and hope to treat myself more often with GingerChi. Thank you, Anna!
