Hillery Sklar

I love HIlery. She knows what your skin needs and gives it to u. She doesn’t up sell you or throw products or treatments at you that you don’t need. She takes great care of your skin. And she is a lovely person to boot!!!

I have been battling a stubborn case of hormonal acne from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome for about a year and a half now. I have been to many, many dermatologists and tried a million products along the way, which almost always made matters worse. I started going to Hillery regularly starting in May or June, and she has helped me SO MUCH. Although I certainly wouldn’t have cleared up without the aid of hormonal medications prescribed by my endocrinologist, Hillery’s facials, advice, and pep talks have been critical in the healing process. Her extractions are thorough and effective; her product recommendations are on-​point and NEVER superfluous; and most importantly, she is SO generous, kind, and comforting! I still break out a little bit, because my hormones are the devil and spirononlactone takes months to kick in. But, my skin is 10 000 000 times better since I started working with her. I feel confident that things are going to be 100% under control very soon thanks to Hillery!

Before I met Hillery, I had ruined my skin by doing the oil cleansing method. I had cystic acne so bad, that is was dreadful for me to leave the house.
I found Hillery from Unilocal and after only 3 sessions my skin is clear and back to normal. I actually get compliments on my skin on a normal basis! That’s awesome for my self-​esteem!
Not only does Hillery give an amazing facial, she taught me how to take care of my skin. Before that, I hadn’t a clue on what a regular skin routine should consist of. She never pushed a product on me ever– which I love because in the past I would go somewhere and walk out of the spa with a bunch of crap that didn’t work.
Hillery uses Mario Badescu and the products are great and all organic! She makes me smell better and have skin like a baby! She is very open-​minded and is more than my aesthetician, she’s like my therapist, a now a great friend for life.
I have been going to her since December and go to her regularly, about every 3 months. With out Hillery as a part of my essential skin routine, I would have to use a lot of sick days because when I get a zit, I’m very self-​conscious and want to stay home from work or school!
The best in NYC, hands down :)

Hillery’s consistent five star rating is not unwarranted. It took about six weeks to get in with her, and the wait was well worth it! I have horrible, horrible acne; as in, Hillery is my last stop in a long line of products, lasers, topicals, prescriptions, etc before I drag myself to the feet of Accutane. She is incredibly personable, a great conversationalist, funny and sweet. None of these are a requirement for /​make for a great esthetician, but it is definitely an added bonus. Upon telling Hillery of my agonizing five year crawl toward Accutane, she was upfront and honest with me that, considering my demonic skin (my description, not her’s), Accutane may be necessary, but that she would like a chance with my skin first and that she would love to be part of the decision making process with me. She is so passionate and caring, I feel like she is my skin care goddess. The facial was very soothing, even with the intense amount of extractions she did. The process was not rushed at all, she talked me through every part and really customized the routine to best benefit my specific skin. She was very thorough and as gentle as possible, and made conversation to take my mind off of her excavating, all the while a spa version of We Will Rock You (!!!) played in the background. It was amazing. When I checked out my skin after, I said «Wow!» at myself in the mirror. With the amount of extractions she did, I expected to be a blotchy, red mess, and although there was some redness, mostly my skin was glowing and looked smoother, cleaner, and with pores smaller than they had been in a very, very long time. She is not a product pusher in the slightest, but I took home the two she recommended to me and even in the first day I’ve noticed them working. I’m not sure if this will be my light at the end of the tunnel. I may still need to go on Accutane because my skin is of the devil, but I’m happy to have Hillery to guide me through the process. Even if she can’t cure my acne, even in the first go around she did an incredible job of rooting a lot of it out and calming it down significantly. I will definitely continue to see her as long as I have skin on my face.

I am so happy I found Hillery! She is professional and kind. She was gentle but thorough with my skin. She recommended regimen above products– I didnt feel forced to buy what she used but I will probably look for recommendations from her when I do need new products.
I was in good hands and highly recommend her services!

I don’t get how she has such spectacular reviews. I’m missing something! I got a facial from her months ago but just getting around to leaving some reviews now.
Just briefly, in my opinion, a facial should be, most of all relaxing and luxurious experience. My experience consisted of her talking to me most of the facial. And then when she put the mask on my face, she left me laying there in the dark for 10 minutes. No shoulder massage. I feel like if I’m paying for your time, 50 min or whatever it is, you should be attending to me the entire time.
Mind you, I’m a facial fanatic and have had many facials. This was my worst facial experience. I can see that I’m an unusual case compared to the rest of the reviews but that’s my experience.

HOLY MOLY. GET THEE TO HILLERY SKLAR. I hadn’t had an aesthetician touch my face in about three years before going in to my first appointment with Hillery, and I now have skin that mirrors that of a newborn baby’s behind. I am not exaggerating when I say that my face hasn’t felt this smooth or had tone this consistent since I was a child – and I have a history of acne, blotchiness and mild rosacea. Hillery is so passionate about what she does, and she is a great listener and a super-​personable, funny human being who is a joy to meet. She lets you know exactly what she’s going to do re: your appointment, so there are no surprises re: extractions, masks or the like – and, as others have noted, she will help you craft your at-​home skincare routine without pushing any specific products on you. I am definitely going to return to Hillery to keep my skin up.

Just had an amazing facial with Hillery! I came in to start getting my skin in shape for my upcoming wedding and I’m so glad I found Hillery thru Unilocal.She was warm and funny and it immediately felt like we were old friends. The whole facial experience was awesome, especially the zapper wand thing and the massage. She helped me figure out the right stuff I need for my skin without being pushy. I have 2 more facials on the book before my wedding and I can’t wait!

Just had a wonderful facial from Hillery! I am also an esthetician, and can be picky about my facials, but she left no stone unturned with her diligent extractions. My skin has been a wreck after this long winter and Hillery brought it back to life! She is also a sweet and kind person so it was all around enjoyable experience inside the charming store of MioMia! Can’t wait to go back!

Hillery is so great that I decided to write my first Unilocal review about her.
My skin has improved considerably and consistently since I started going to her for facials two years ago. She is skillful and knowledgable – at my first appointment, she could tell right away that I don’t drink enough water – and clearly enjoys what she does. She can helpfully offer suggestions for your at-​home regimen but doesn’t push any brands on you. She is warm, inviting, accommodating, generous with her time, and good with conversation despite my being terrible at it. Highly recommended.
(Please note that she has LITERALLY wiped away my tears during extractions. Like, come on. How fantastic.)

Hillery loves what she does and does it so well!
I had my first facial with her and can’t wait to go back. I have had problematic skin in the past year out of nowhere and Hillery was able to identify some key solutions. A week after the facial my skin is already much better and the persistent and very deep acne has diminished substantially.
My favorite part besides the mask and zapper wand (not sure what it’s called but it’s amazing) is the feeling that I’m in good hands. I like that she asked what regimen I was doing and could help make adjustments.
She’s also good at suggesting new products but is definitely not a product pusher.
I recommend Hillery for everyone,-great skin or problematic skin.

What a soothing experience. Feels good to meet people that genuinely care about your Health and Skin.

Hillery is somehow capable of making my aging ass (meaning my face) look ten years younger every time I see her. Until I started going to Hillery, I never enjoyed facials — I found them to be uncomfortable and my skin would be blotchy for a couple of days after. I LOVE going to see her. My skin is amazing when I leave, the experience is…(dare I say it?)…enjoyable, and she advises me on affordable products that are always spot-​on for my skin type. Highly recommended.

Hillery is amazing and so are her facials! She takes her time, explains everything she’s doing and the cute science behind your skin, and uses top of the line products that smell amazing (which she does not make commission on, so you know her recommendation comes from the heart), and is the sweetest. Seeing her is a pleasure and her facials make me want to curl up in a warm blanket and melt. Thanks Hillery!

Hillery is one of the most talented and warm persons in existence! No, really.
I have been seeing Hillery for facials for over a year and my skin has never looked better. I have always had to wear high coverage foundation but after seeing Hillery regularly I have been able to switch to just wearing tinted moisturizer. Yay! Also, her facial massages are so rejuvenating that I always walk out massage stoned. She’s amazing. Go see her!

Let me join the choir here. Hillery is absolutely wonderful. Not only great at what she does, but a lovely, warm, kind, caring person. I’m so glad I found her, thanks to Unilocal

For my first facial I am really glad I chose Hillery. I can’t think of a better introduction. She is not only a rad person; she has infectiously rad energy, amazing intuition, and truly loves what she does. She’s very informative and attentive on an individual level. Great with skin, great with people. Even though I was there for the cheaper half-​hour choice, she gave me free extra time and a mask, because she is magic. What more could you ask for? I will definitely recommend and be back.

I thought that facials were supposed to be disfiguring and painful. I always heard you went to serve a kind of penance for dermatological sins like not washing your face with the correct product, not wearing sunblock and not getting enough sleep or drinking enough water. I am guilty of all of these things and feared the punishment of grim scolding extractions and the angry welts that would surely be on my face like scarlet letters for days to come.
Instead my face got loved to smithereens by lovely Hillery. When I walked out I looked pure and radiant and virtuous and new! I got nice looks from people. Thats not what facials usually do right?
Miomia is awesome and Hillery is amazing!!!

I don’t like facials. I don’t like being pampered. I don’t enjoy having someone touch my face. And I don’t like talking to people I don’t enjoy talking to.
Yet Hillery Sklar overcame even my misanthropy, such is her genuine zeal for what she does, and what she does, she does very well.
My skin had attained a DEFCON 2 status, and in order to bring it to a manageable level wherein the dry, the oily, the erupting and the scaly were not warring, I had to bring in a serious peacemaker. That peacemaker is Hillery. She is the Albert Schweitzer of aestheticians, to keep pace with the first metaphor, and she made me feel ok about my skin again.
She’s gentle, thorough, caring, interested, interesting, skillful and passionate. Go to her. Then go to her again. I will.

I had a facial with Hillery about 3 days ago and it was a very good experience.
Hillary is super friendly and seems to genuinely care about the people she works on. She was very thorough and considerate of the specific issues of MY skin. The extractions were virtually painless and the massage was great.
I love that Hillery says things like «My instinct is to use this mask on you.»
Keep following your instinct Hillery! It is clearly leading you in the right direction, my skin looked amazing and continues to do so.
I am definitely making this a regular thing.
