I immediately got happy because I myself love a great foot massage. She went to the one in Queens now I don't know Queens it is very confusing lol so I googled it and found that they had other locations one in Brooklyn and one in Manhattan. I decided to go to the one in Manhattan on 14th St. And immediately booked my appointment :) I went in for the one hour foot massage that was priced at $45 online. It was very easy to get there. I took the number three train to 14th St., and then a six minute walk. My appointment was set for 10:30 AM. I got there about 15 minutes early and it seemed like I was the only one there. Upon entering the atmosphere is extremely clean, and there was Zen music playing. I greeted the man at the front desk and he did the same and he told me to have a seat in any chair. I did just that then got comfortable. The masseuse brought out a huge basin of water to quickly soak my foot in then he began to work half an hour, each foot and calf. It was very relaxing. I then decided to go on Yelp to check in. After I did it said I get a free 10 minute massage The guy who worked on my feet asked me if I wanted a back massage or another foot massage so I guess you have a choice. I told him a back massage and he placed the chair for me to sit and place my head in what I call the donut hole lol. This was done after my hour 60 minute foot rub. At the end of the foot massage I got a nice hot stone foot and calf rub which was fantastic. At the end of it all I went to go and pay, and I saw on there price list the 60 minute foot rub was $47 so I pulled up their website and I showed them that it says 45 online. She told me $45 in cash $47 by using card so I used my card since I didn't walk with any cash so keep that in mind. I definitely recommend this spot. I'm glad that my friend found it and I followed suit. I will be making this a monthly thing. I can't wait to go back again. So don't hesitate to check them out.

I was underwhelmed and a little disappointed. I'd been curious about this practice for a while as…read morethey share an office with my chiropractor; and decided to finally treat myself to an appointment to get some of the cold weather tension out of my neck and shoulders. Maybe it's because my appointment was after the receptionist left for the day, but I felt kind of awkward entering -- I was a few minutes early and the therapist was chatting with what I'm guessing was another client, and didn't really greet or welcome me. I kinda felt like I had just wandered into a space I wasn't supposed to be, or interrupted a private conversation. After the other person left she went into another room without really acknowledging me, eventually coming back and seeing if I was ready to begin. Overall the massage was good, not mind blowing but solid, and the space is very nicely decorated. But for the money I ended up shelling out (over $200 for 60 minutes) I don't think it was a good value. I was also up-charged for seeing the lead therapist, which I didn't realize at the time of booking. It was only after going through the automated texts and emails after I saw the charge I figured out what happened -- so learn from my mistake! They also automatically added a tip without my knowledge or consent -- so the $150 service I initially signed up for ended up costing an extra $70. I get times are tough for small businesses, but they're tough for me too, so these extra expenses added tension right back into my shoulders. If you've got the money, you do you. But if you're trying to be more cost conscious, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Her intuitive touch, deep knowledge of the body, and ability to tailor each session to exactly what I need make every massage a transformative experience. Katya has a rare gift--not only does she relieve tension and pain, but she also creates a space for true relaxation and healing. Whether I need deep tissue work, targeted relief, or just an hour to reset and recharge, she always knows exactly what to do. She remembers all of the details of my injuries and body's idiosyncrasies and makes sure to review those issues at following sessions. I refer her to everyone I know, and every single person I've sent her way has raved about her just as much as I do. If you're looking for a massage therapist who is skilled, professional, and genuinely cares about your well-being, Katya is the absolute best!

She was so professional and knowledgeable about the body and my body as well as what it needed. My body was "jacked up" as she said and she wasn't wrong. After that first massage she gave me the stress and pain/ailments I felt just melted away. She was so good that I made sure I booked her monthly and I've never bothered to get a massage from anywhere or anyone else because she's THAT GOOD! Her techniques and intuitiveness to your body and where you need the most attention comes through and you leave feeling like a brand new person- at least for me every time. Her hands are literally magical and recommend her a 1000x over to anyone looking for a great massage.

It was amazing! I did 90 minutes and it was worth every penny. But the way, save a little money and pay cash. My neck and shoulder that brought me in are feeling so much better! My lower back that's always angry has calmed down too. The combo of stretching and massage is perfection. I'd like to try a traditional Thai massage next time, but this was a great entry point. I kind of never want to have a different style massage ever again. Using your body weight and elbows/knees/feet instead of just hands is genius. The place is a tiny bit hard to find, so look for the big American flag and go in the door under it. It's an upscale building and spa. They don't have the spa amenities you might think of when I say upscale, but they are so good at what they do they don't need frills. Trust me, they will take care of you!

Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable…read more These are the immediate words that come to mind from the minutes my girlfriend and I arranged an appointment with Fernando. Massage By Design is exactly the type of massage we received from Fernando. My iliotibial band and my trapezius were in serious need of deep tissue massage due to sitting in an office chair eight hours a day and running way more than I should be. My girlfriend had her tight upper back worked on as well. My God, both of us felt so much better and our entire body felt brand new afterward. Fernando isn't your typical massage therapist; he explains what he's doing and why he's working on certain parts of your body. At the same time he analyzed my reactions in order to apply pressure where and when needed. Fernando doesn't only rely on reading the body, he has great intuition and being intuitive is really what helps in doing the right job! Would I recommend Fernando? Would I go back to Massage By Design? Heck yeah!!!

The location is good since it is in the heart of Waikiki. There is a private parking space for Fernando, so this already eliminated some parking stress. :) I know he also offers out-call as well. When I got there, Fernando took his time to learn about me and my previous experience with massage. I found that was refreshing since my previous experience at a well established spa in Los Angeles and others did not do that. Like other reviewers said, it was truly "Massage by Design." The other thing I really enjoyed was the different techniques that Fernando used to relax and to apply to my body, especially my sore lower back. He also helped stretch my body which was more than just a massage. The entire experience was well over an hour. All I could say was that the experience was so awesome that i actually fell asleep. He had to call my name a couple times before I woke up. I definitely would recommend others to try him out and experience it again in the near future.
