I've been going to Athena Spa for years for regular facials and massages, often booking the two-hour combination session. They always start right on time, the spa is spotless, and everyone there treats me beautifully. The massage and facial are consistently top-tier, and they never cut corners on time--if it's two hours, it's truly two hours. I'm a very picky person who values quality, and Athena Spa always exceeds my expectations. Their staff is warm, professional, and genuinely kind. I've brought friends and even my boyfriend here, and every single person has had an excellent experience. Their prices are beyond reasonable and have barely changed over the years. I can't say enough good things--Athena Spa is the best! read more

AMAZING!! I've been to many asian spas and none compare to the quality I get at Athena. I find that at most asian spas, you get what you pay for.. it's usually a hit or miss on the quality. But at Athena, all the masseuses are stars! They ask you your pressure preference and check in with you to ask if the pressure is okay. They are very detailed and hit all the right spots. I have knots in my traps and they usually notice and spend time working on them even if I don't mention it. After going here several times, I've never had a bad massage. Relaxing, calm, and clean environment. At ~$55 for a one hour massage, the price is amazing for the quality you get. What a great deal! The least you can do is give a good tip! Those complaining about tips... If you go anywhere else and you'd be paying over $100 for the same quality massage. Anyway, this place is my go-to so I highly recommend. They usually have same day appointments available. read more

Came for a Swedish massage, was on time, but the masseuse started about 10 minutes late but ended right on time, so was a little annoyed to get less than a full hour but didn't realize until she left. The building is also hot. I don't know if people generally prefer that when massaging, but it seemed more like "we don't want to run the AC" instead of intentional. The massage itself was nice and I did get to a really relaxed place where I was almost asleep. They said they only hire women there, as that's something that can make people more comfortable. Plenty of parking in the shopping plaza. One other downside was they said they only do tips in cash. When I said I didn't have much cash, they said to go to ATM next door. The other businesses next door were closed on a Sunday and also I wouldn't be thrilled to pay an additional fee. So when I said I only had $20 they were then suddenly able to charge a tip. It would be more convenient if the cash tip had been mentioned when booking the appointment or even before the session began. I think this place was okay. My friend liked it and said she'd come again. I think it was okay and not a bad option if in the area. read more

Pains me to write this as I'd say I'm pretty loyal customer since 2015- found them on Groupon when it was $45 for an hour massage, which they continued to honor for my visits after that. I understand 2020 was a big year for losses so the price jumped to $50 once everyone was back in business. I never had a steady masseuse but they're all very good. In my most recent visit two weeks ago, my body was filled with knots and really aching so I thought when my masseuse found the knots, she would work them out but she did not- just proceeded with decent pressure. Upon checking out, the price went up to $55 and I didn't see Athena, there was a new gentleman working the front. He had asked if I had a tip for my masseuse right in front of her (they typically give me the envelope and hand it to the ladies later) so I handed her a $10, which is a pretty damn good tip for an okay massage and this lady had the nerve to say "excuse me, it's $15 minimum for 1 hour massage" NEVER IN MY LIFEEEEE has someone told me a mandatory number for a tip. Never going back. read more

I LOVE LOVE this place. The place clean. They are professional and respectful. I go there for my facials and body massages.

Long story short, she had been charging me for individual lashes but mixing them with cluster lashes. I had been wondering how she always did my lashes so quickly. I realized what she had been doing when my real lashes started falling out in clumps. I stopped going there once I realized I was being ripped off. read more

i asked for a massage and i asked them a question. they told me they wont give me a massage. they were very unprofessional. i recommend nobody go to this place. they were also very rude people read more

This is my Holy Grail go to for eyelash extensions for all of the tri state. I have been to MANY, and this is the best bang for the buck at $45 for a full set of lashes (meaning she will put as many extensions as lashes that you have) with no limit as to how many like they charge you for in the city. Tina is the owner whom I absolutely adore, she's so sweet, cracks me up, and has the most adorable daughter who will be with her sometimes at the front desk. I've gotten a few standard facials here too and it's simple but the extractions are the best part, they are extremely thorough with that and to me, the most important part of a facial. Thank you Tina for being an awesome person and keeping me pretty. read more

I purchased a groupon for a $38 1 hour long deep tissue massage. IT WAS FABULOUS. I will be coming here at least once a month because they were so good. She did my whole body, really relaxed me. The smell is nice, the oil was great. The place itself may look questionable upon arrival but trust, go in! its labeled athena aesthetics but its a small spa. Nice women work there. read more

I went with my wife for a dual massage , the massage was thoroughly done, I was impressed with the vigor and strength yet they knew when to back off. I was only supposed to get a massage and then my wife suggested a facial. Completely amazed my perception of spas. I have never had a facial but now I'm addicted. Great place and I found it to be very quiet and accessible for everyone. I was worried that they were a woman only spa but I was definitely surprised to be welcomed. We will go back. read more

I loved it and they worked every inch of the body from head to toe. Most importantly I feel a whole lot better than I did before the massage. read more

very professional, clean, and calming environment. I got the couples massage for an hour and it was very much worth the price. cheaper and better than most around here for what they offer. definitely exceeded my expectations and will be coming back. parking was moderately easy. all staff very nice. read more

Went for a massage outstanding Mary and Linda are very talented best massage ever recommend to all

I had the last appointment for the day, and Eva was my therapist. She did an excellent job, very thorough, all body parts, deep tissue - neck, structural realignments - toes; the whole 9 yards. She didn't skimp because it was the last appointment-she was committed to doing what my body needed. I highly recommend. I'll be back. read more

Had a great massage today from Amy She new all the right areas to work on The place isn't fancy But it's clean And the price is right read more

I'm indifferent about this place. I got the Swedish couple massage with my boyfriend and I walked out 80% satified mostly for the nap that I took while getting the massage. We got out of the massage room and we showed her the groupon voucher that we bought an hour before we purchased it. She was super nice to us before we showed her the voucher telling us we can only use the voucher after 24 hours of purchasing it. It just doesn't make sense to me. Either way, I can't turn down a massage for $40 that takes appointments last minute. I don't think I'll be coming back. I recommend going to King Spa for massages. You will not be disappointed there. read more

I'm disappointed that today I was informed of what the tip would have to be after the service was provided. It was in poor taste. I felt pressured and have never experienced this before. I will definitely think twice before coming back. Not to mention that the quality of their services is inconsistent. read more

Honestly the only reason im leaving two stars is because despite the things i disliked, i did leave this place feeling like i just got a massage- which is the point. So i found a groupon that allowed me to get an hour swedish massage for 35$ which i admit is a fantastic price. On the outside this doesn't necessarily look like a high end place but when you walk in everything does change. Theres a beautiful small waiting area and nice relaxing music playing. It was odd, i walked in and was greeted by a small 12 year old girl sitting behind the desk in her school uniform. I suppose it isnt so weird, many people have their children help in businesses, so it didn't bother me, but was definitely a slight shock. Before my massage, I asked to use the restroom which just like the front area, was very beautiful. I came with my friend and we requested to be massaged at the same time in the same room, so we could be finished at the same time. One woman led us to the back and we were in a room, kind of a tight fit but no complaints because it was at our request. Everything seemed perfect. Heated beds, sweet calming music, great smells, but all great things come to an end. I read so many other reviews and so I'm sure it was just this particular time, unfortunately for me, that the experience was bearable and minimally enjoyable. Two women came in to the room, i noticed my friend had a towel put over her head but that was not done for me. BUT THEN, it began.... These two ladies would not stop talking. If i wanted to go somewhere and pay to have two women speak a language i didn't understand, i can do that at home for free. Turn the tv on to a channel i don't understand, and shove a heating pad under my back. It would have literally been the same thing. It was really frustrating because just as i felt my most relaxed, one of the women would pick back up and start speaking to the other. The worst part being, they were whispering. We were in a 4x4 room.... Whispering was equivalent to yelling. Aside from the non stop speaking, the women didn't ask either of us for pressure preference, and although the massage itself felt nice, it was by no means a Swedish massage. At one point i hear my friend say three times "ouch thats too hard please stop" but of course the woman giving her a massive couldn't hear her over the voice of the woman massaging me yapping away. The woman massaging me had uncut finger nails and she kept scratching me with every motion of her hands. There were just many things i didn't like and i felt the massage i got was unprofessional and done with no care. Maybe if i got a massage in a room alone it would have been more relaxing because there would be nobody for the woman to talk to. I don't know if i would ever come back, but i would consider it. On our way out, we did receive complimentary water bottles, but that's standard in all massage places. To make this place better i would definitely have the staff ask how light or hard we would like our massages, demand no speaking, have the workers cut their nails, and just to be more attentive. read more

HORRIBLE!!!! I had lash extensions done before going on a trip outside the country and had a horrible reaction to the product. I needed to go to a doctor , have them removed and was put on medication to treat the infection. I have lashes done a number of ti Es before without any problems. I called the owner to discuss and she said, " it's not my problem-no refunds". As a business owner myself customer satisfaction is a priority but I guess not here. My recommendation is stay away! read more

Went here today for eyelash extensions and I LOVE how they came out!!!! It's a cozy little spa with private rooms. There was soothing music playing and they have you lie on a heated bed during the application. The girl doing my extentions was a sweetheart. I was so at ease and relaxed I actually fell asleep! I am def recommending to all my friends and I will be back for a touch up. read more

Athena Spa - Eyelash extensions from Athena spa. - Day Spas Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I came back here for a facial and a massage. Super affordable and it was a relaxing experience as well as wallet friendly! They really massage every part of your body, paying special attention to any tense areas you may have. They rub creams and oils all over you but they wipe it all off with a hot towel so you don't feel gross afterwards. The one downfall is the paper thin walls and doors. I had the unfortunate experience of a kid repeatedly running up and down the hallway... Who brings a kid to a place like this? read more

I never thought it would end. Rainbow got so much accomplished in my 1 hr massage. She also asked if the pressure was to much or to little. She really cared. I felt like it was a great experience and I made another appt. read more

This place is the best! I've been all around Staten Island looking for a good place, but this one was really amazing. I've enjoyed the eyelashes a lot because of how long but natural it looks! I've tried out many facials and they all made me look so much better. This is the only place I can go to to relieve my stress because of the soothing massages! Will definitely recommend this place to everyone! read more

The massage itself wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. My best friend and I bought 2 deals for $35 massages of our choice from Groupon, but their standard prices are much higher. The masseuses didn't ask us which massage we wanted before starting. My best friend and I shared a room for a one hour massage and the two ladies massaging us were talking non-stop. They weren't that skilled. I doubt they had licenses. She would rub my left arm and forget to rub my right arm. On the bright side they gave us free water bottles when we left. There are definitely better spas on Staten Island than here. read more

I went for a couples massage with my boyfriend. It was $100 total. It was definitely the best message ever!! I felt so relaxed after and the price is so reasonable. I would recommend anyone to try this place for massages! read more

Went today for my 1st ever massage, it was great. Nothing to compare it too being I only had one, but I like this place and will be back. Wife paid so no idea on $, but workers were nice and friendly. read more

Athena Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Staten Island, New York

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT GIVE THIS SPA NOR GROUPON YOUR BUSINESS TO PURCHASE ANY SERVICES FROM THIS PLACE. I write this review as I sit in the waiting room of my doctors office after the first allergic reaction I have ever endured in my 34 years of life of every day experiences and facials. I came across their Groupon for the one hour massage and one hour facial and decided to treat myself while on a budget. I mentioned the deal to my friend who purchased it as well and we both went yesterday. We decided to get massages together and were praying that the reviews we read of the girls non stop talking weren't true. They sure weren't because they didn't say a word. Not even to ask how we prefer pressure or what not. I had to ask her a few times if she could use less pressure. Massage was okay but definitely did not relax me. Then the facials started. Tried to up-sell us but we requested what was offered with Groupon. Again, didn't talk to us, ask or inform us about what skin type we have. I will take accountability this time for not asking what they would be using as far as product, but I never had to before as the aestheticians usually know what they're using and how to use it. Once the services were completed they give you a Costco brand, room temperature water bottle and you square up. I tipped my girl $35. My friend didn't tip as graciously as I did and they had the audacity to call her out on it. Not only did it embarrass her but completely pissed her off. Maybe that was the last few dollars she had to her name. About an hour after I started to notice my eyes were swelling and turning red. My face was blemished but that's usually normal. As the night proceeded I had to take two Benadryl and went to sleep. I woke up looking like the loser of a boxing match. I had to call out of work today. I returned to the spa to see what they used on my face as I now have eyes that look like bees stung me and a face of a puberty ridden teenager. I take pride in my skin and normally never have blemishes, the girl even complimented how nice my skin was. The manager advised me she has no idea what the girl used on my skin and she was off. They called her 20 times trying to get her to answer her call. They don't keep a log of what products they used on you, but they keep a log of the amount of tip you gave them. After sitting there for 30 minutes and having a few customers question me and suggest I go to a doctor (Good idea, why didn't I think of that) the manager's resolution was for me to allow her to give me another facial on top of my injuries. Not to reimburse me or to apologize. I reached out to Groupon to file a complaint and maybe a reimbursement because they're not parting with it at the spa, so I'm sure I'm out the $100 which includes the tip I paid. Just very frustrating that you want to treat yourself and how we're all struggling to stretch a dollar in this town, but the ramifications of a discount is a mangled face, loss wages from not going to work, a doctor's visit with a co-pay and hopefully a prescription that will make me look like me again in a few days. Please see my photos I posted of my face. read more

Athena Spa - Day Spas Near Me - Staten Island, New York

I got a Groupon for a massage and upon reading others reviews decided to give it a try. I was not impressed at all with the place, which smelled like Clorox and urine. The receptionist was watching some movie on her smartphone and did not even paid much attention to me after demanding the tax money from the Groupon purchase. The masseuse was just ok. The rooms are not sound proof so there is really no relaxing environment. I rather pay more, and get the true spa experience. read more

Highly recommend Athena Spa for eyelashes, facials & massages. I've been getting my eyelashes done for about a year & a half and absolutely love them every single time. They last me about 2-3 weeks then need to get a fill in at a very reasonable price. I have tried a few other places before i discovered Athena' Spa & wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I used to come here for over a year for lashes before I knew all information about them and how they should look. I stuck with Tina because of the quick service and cheaper price. After going to a new place I have come to realize cheaper is not always better!! Her lashes would fall off me so fast within a week or would clump up and hurt. A few times my eyes swelled and she wouldn't even take them off. She's canceled on me and been late. I do not recommend for quality eye lash extensions. I have never had any other services but as far as eye lashes I wouldn't read more

I did a sea weed wrap for the first time. It's not 90 or 75 minutes as they advertise but, it was long enough to be wrapped up in plastic. It was definitely working. It felt tingly after I left. Deffinitley did something. They first ask you to disrobe. They give you this disposable bikini to wear. They rub sea weed cream on you shoulders to ankles. Then they wrap you with plastic and put some heat lamps on you so you sweat in there. After about 45 minutes they come and get you. You put your robe on and head to the shower where the lady lays you down on this bed and showers you off. Don't be shy they say...lol. It was all good. After going back to the room and getting dressed they give you a bottle of water and tell you to get hydrated. I felt a tingly sensation through out the day. It was a good experience, although I don't know if I would do it again. It was a groupon.com deal for $42 for the session, which was well worth it. read more

do not give this lady your money ever !!!!! This is the result !!! She is nasty and miserable and eyelashes are gross after 4 days... spent so much money in this place so dissapointed !! read more

See all

I can't say enough about Tina ( the eyelash woman) at Athena. I have been to EVERY eye lash place in Staten Island and some in the city and NOOONE does eyelashes as good as Tina or as quick! Her lashes look absolutely gorgeous and she does a full set in 35-40 minutes!! I will be a loyal customer for life ! Thanks Tina for always making my lashes be the most beautiful in the room! read more

Soey is very professional and nice to me. Microdermabrasion is very good. I felt my skin get much better after that. High recommend!!!

Great spa. Ivy did a wonderful job with the laser lipo. I saw results quite fast. I would definitely recommend this place to coworkers and friends. I'm glad I came across this place through groupon. Prices are fair and the quality is awesome. read more

I bought a Groupon for my boyfriend and I - 1 hour massage plus 1 hour facial. We asked for separate rooms due to reading about some chatter occurrences when in the same room. I loved my massage, the woman (i forgot her name, sorry!) asked about pressure, made some small talk in the beginning, and all around did a lovely job. My facial was also excellent. I felt as if the woman who provided these services was personable and carefully took her time. I would definitely go back. My boyfriend got his first facial and liked it but I don't think he deems it necessary to continue getting! haha read more

Disappointed I spent my hard earned money here. Do not recommend. Don't want to say anything too harsh, but suffice it to say, if you want to have a truly luxurious, satisfying and relaxing experience, do not go here. I think I derive more pleasure from taking a shower at home than I did at this spa. read more

I've had numerous appointments at Athena spa for facials and eyelash extensions. The facials have been typical. They extracted the black heads from my face and covered my face with several layers of mud masks. My face felt tingly and clean. However, the last time i went for eyelash extensions, the woman placed the eye pads beneath my eyes and i thought it was the beginning of my relaxing beauty regime. A few minutes later, A customer came in, the woman left me to go attend the new customer. I was able to overhear the conversation as she answered the other customers questions about making a future appointment. I patiently waited 20 minutes before removing the eye pads and walking out. This is not how customers should be treated. I can't and won't patronize any establishment which does not show any respect for my time and business. This has not been the first time this has happened to me here but it will definitely be my last. read more

I get my eyelashes done here! This place was recommended by a friend and it's worth every penny. Tina is so nice and funny!
