This iconic American skincare brand was founded by Romanian-born Mario Badescu, a skincare specialist with a background in chemistry and cosmetology who dreamed big, leaving Romania for America in 1967 to open his famous eponymous salon in New York City. A truly iconic skincare brand with a devout, global following (including Martha Stewart, who swears by their products and treatments), the salon and botanically based products are as popular as ever today.
Their signature European facials are legendary (the talented therapists perform up to 200 a day!), but their scrubs, seaweed wraps, manicures, and pedicures are also incredible, all at the same location where Badescu first opened over 50 years ago!
