Do not enter this shop!
"I strongly urge anyone visiting Budapest to avoid this place at all costs. In December 2025, my friend and I were aggressively approached on the street and pressured into the shop with the promise of a 'free' beauty treatment. This was a massive mistake.
Inside, the staff used unwashed, ungloved hands to apply cream to our faces without any hygiene standards or allergy tests. Under extreme pressure, we were manipulated into paying £500 for two 'miracle' creams. It wasn't until we returned to our hotel that we discovered the boxes were completely empty.
This is a professional scam operation. If you look at the reviews, you will see a pattern: genuine victims describe the exact same aggressive tactics, while the 5-star reviews are clearly fake, using repetitive language to praise the 'friendly staff.' They have no global presence and exist solely to rip off tourists. Do not be polite—just walk away.

The shop is so welcoming everybody,great skin care products,amazing costumer service adi and rafael were so great!!

We were walking along Váci út in Budapest when a man named Daniel approached us. He immediately claimed he had lived in Iceland, spoke a few words in Icelandic, and built instant rapport. It was a calculated, professional manipulation designed to lower our guard and make us trust him. Within minutes he had steered us into the Emyla Beauty Salon at Váci út 113 and launched into a high-pressure sales pitch for their “Age Defying Syringe Treatment.”s
He pushed a 10 ml syringe of product and demanded 275,000 Hungarian Forints — the equivalent of approximately 860 USD. For ten millilitres.
This is not skincare. It is a cheap silicate-based film former that creates a temporary tightening effect for a few hours at most, then washes off with your next cleanse. The same technology is sold on Amazon for $20–$40 under different brand names. Emyla simply repackages it in a fancy syringe, calls it “active peptides,” and preys on tourists with aggressive, deceptive tactics.
Daniel is not the friendly guy he pretends to be. He is part of a well-oiled operation that uses street lures, fake personal stories, and language tricks to separate visitors from their money. Multiple recent TripAdvisor reviews describe the exact same experience with Daniel and the same product. This is not a salon — it is a tourist trap that operates with the precision of a scam.
My wife and I walked out without buying. Do not make the same mistake we almost did. If you are approached by anyone from Emyla — especially Daniel — turn around and keep walking. There is nothing of value here, just overpriced temporary gimmicks and predatory sales pressure.
This place should carry a government health warning for tourists. Avoid at all costs.

Warm welcome, very friendly and no pressure, explained things very well. Great results in a short space of time.

Bellissima esperienza, personale gentilissimo, tornerò

Je suis déçu de la gamme violette de chez emilya cosmétique sur les gouttes de rosé, j’ai fait une allergie à mes yeux et l’odeur catastrophique, j’ai eu l impression d’avoir acheté un rouge à lèvres sur AliExpress connaissez les odeurs d’AliExpress quand vous achetez un rouge à lèvres bah la même chose en fait😡

A great consultation with Daniel who made it fun and friendly with lots of kindness and laughter. The syringe treatment certainly appeared to work.

Unbelievable products! Very polite personnel! Everytime again!!

Really friendly people, had a really good sense of humour and made us all feel beautiful

The experience was amazing really nice service and a warm welcoming. It was the best spa I ever did.

It was amazing, the atmosphere, the people, the professional of the people here is one of the best I ever tried .
The best in Budapest!!

Sandra was amazing excellent communication and explained everything so well lovely experience all round first time buyer and will continue in future

The experience was fine, but when the agreed charge hit my credit card, it was a whole different thing. We had negotiated an assortment for USDD1500. Through the barely readable receipt and exchange rates, it hit my credit card for $2145. They were difficult to communicate with.

It was a highly pleasurable fish nibbling experience. Great business and service. Looking forward to visiting again when in Hungary. Love from Australia 🦘.

Sandra and Daniel were very kind and helpful

Wonderfull and so nice people with the best products.

Great personal real nice.
Nice establishment.
