Ildi Pekar

Budapest-born, New York-made — a holistic skin philosophy nearly two decades in the making.

Portrait of Ildi Pekar
Heritage

Trained where skin is a way of life.

A native of Budapest, Ildi’s training is rooted in a culture known the world over for its skincare therapies, hot springs and saunas. Hungary was the perfect launch pad for a practitioner who would come to prize, above all, the ultimate in attention, philosophy and client discretion.

Through special and often customized techniques, Ildi brings what some have called a “magic” and entirely unique approach to her work — reading each face like a story still being written.

The studio

A penthouse haven, founded 2007.

After more than a decade enhancing her craft at New York spas large and small — serving clients of every skin type and every walk of life — Ildi made the leap to entrepreneur. With her vision, experience and a quietly devoted, word-of-mouth following, Ildi Pekar Skin Care was founded in 2007.

Tucked away in a Midtown Manhattan penthouse, the studio is known today as a haven for face and body care: only pure, organic-certified European products, a depth of knowledge that can’t be beat, and treatments engineered for results that last.

Philosophy

No two clients are alike — therefore no two clients warrant the same regimen. Through classic yet forward-thinking European methods, the work is always the same at heart: to share a craft with those who appreciate its knowledge and its care.
