Bridal Facial

The closer the event, the more familiar your facial should be. A treatment your skin already knows, booked with a few days to spare, leaves room for any pinkness to settle. Some facial steps can leave skin pink for a while, and every skin answers in its own way.

• Close to the dateChoose a facial you have had before, or one without a peel.
• Well before the dateA first peel, or a product you have never used, belongs well before the date.
• Your skincare at homeKeep your routine as it is until after the event.
• When you bookTell Bouchra the date of your event. If you are not sure how much time to leave, she can talk it through with you at the start of your appointment.

This follows our Journal guide: A facial before a holiday event: what to book and when.

Listed prices. Lengths are treatment time; for some facials the calendar reserves a longer appointment. The full list of facials, peels and enhancements is on the treatment menu.

Every treatment is also available as a package of 4 or 6 sessions, at the listed price times the number of sessions. A package is for the treatment named and is non-refundable, but it can be exchanged for service credit of equal value.

• Signature Facial4 sessions $740 · 6 sessions $1,110
• Gua Sha Facial4 sessions $1,000 · 6 sessions $1,500
• Signature Buccal Lift4 sessions $1,400 · 6 sessions $2,100
• Gua Sha Buccal Facial4 sessions $1,800 · 6 sessions $2,700

To buy a package, ask when you book or call the studio. Bouchra sees one client at a time, so the calendar below shows what is open on any given day.

The RRYL Gift Card is for any facial in the studio, or for skincare from our online shop. It arrives by email right after purchase, ready to forward or print. No expiry date, no fees.

Talk your skin through with Bouchra at the start. Please tell us about any allergies, sensitivities or medications when you book.

Can I get a facial before a wedding, photoshoot or special event?

Yes. Mention the event when you book so the timing can be planned with Bouchra, and avoid trying a strong or unfamiliar treatment for the first time close to the date.

Which facial should I book when the date is near?

Choose a treatment you have had before, or one without a peel. From the RRYL menu, our Journal guide lists the Gua Sha Facial, the Signature Facial, the Microcurrent Facial and the Express Glow Facial. Some of these include extractions or microdermabrasion; if one of them would be new to you, say so when you book.

How far ahead should I book a peel?

The Benefit Peel and the Blueberry Jessner Peel are the treatments to schedule well before an event rather than in the days just before it. If you have not had a peel with Bouchra, ask her how much time to leave.

How often should I come?

That depends on your skin and goals. Bouchra can suggest an interval after your first appointment.

I’m not sure which facial to book.

You do not need to decide alone. Book the facial that appeals to you and tell Bouchra about your event at the start, or get in touch before booking.

Where is the studio?

Suite 707, 501 Fifth Avenue, at 42nd Street, opposite the New York Public Library and Bryant Park, near Grand Central. Another facial business works in the same building, so look for Suite 707. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early.
