 "Sonya's Skin Care & Body Treatments", based in NYC, New York, was established in the
early 1980's as a progression for me, and as an innovation.
In 1982, health, fitness and proper
self-care, were fast becoming a part of the American culture. I
was fortunate to be at the right place at the right time in New York City.
Coming
from Brazil shortly before, I had earlier experience working in
the areas of beauty and skin care since the age of 14 yrs old.
Trends were moving fast in the area of beauty care
in the U.S. and perceptions rapidly changed along the way. A
health conscious trend evolved into a beauty revolution
and New York City was simply the place to be for me.
By 1983 I felt convinced that
New York City was ready for
"Sonya's Skin Care & Body Treatments" and also ready for the...Brazilian Bikini Wax! (Sonya - picture right)
We began. Brazilian Bikini Waxing
had not been widely offered in New York City at that time,
outside of a few select individuals. Rarely if at all, was it in
NYC salon's then...that is until we began offering it to our
clients.
What a hit! We are
pleased and humbled to have played a small part in this exciting
and very popular beauty import. Today, we specialize in Brazilian
Bikini Waxing, for woman and men and continue a long standing
tradition of importing our wax directly from Brazil. With very
little discomfort, our work is done by licensed, trained Aestheticians.
We have continually expanded our
offerings over the last twenty years to now include an
invigorating and full program for healthier living for men and
woman in our full service salon, in addition to a very select
assortment of natural beauty care products. Imagine being
pampered to the point of complete invigoration. We offer
exactly that.

 About
your skin -- your body's largest organ.
As one of your body's vital organs, your skin plays a crucial role in
keeping you alive and healthy. In many different ways, it regulates your
"inner environment" -- by conserving fluids, regulating body heat,
providing sensory information, and protecting against microorganisms and
other threats from the outside.
Your skin is complex, too. It's comprised of many different elements in
1 square inch, including:
The skin is also very thin. It has an average thickness of one to two
millimeters on our main body surfaces, four millimeters at the nape and
three millimeters at the palms and soles. In addition, the skin contains
cells that are responsible for producing melanin. Melanin, as you may
know, gives the skin color -- even the uneven dark spots that concern so
many people.
