I was really in need of a massage today. I had an appointment in the area so I searched to find a…read moregood inexpensive massage. I found this place and I decided to give it a try. I rang the bell and Cindi opened the door she seemed very nice And the place seemed pretty decent. No frills, but exactly what I needed. At least, what I thought I needed. I had to use the restroom so I placed my bag roller bag and my coat in the small area with curtains that Cindi space showed me was mine. I went to the restroom and went into the room to get changed. I asked Cindi if she could unzip the back of my blouse because it was hard for me to unzip and I realized right away that Cindi did not understand English. Not my first time at a rodeo like this and that was totally fine with me. it took me about 6 to 7 minutes to get unchanged. I had boots with long laces and socks and pants and my top and the very long hair and jewelry so I wanted to make sure that you know I took everything off so that my massage would be pleasurable. Cindi came in and began... She got on the table right away which I was really excited about and made me look forward to what it seemed to be was going to be a really good massage. About five minutes in Cindi needed to answer the door so she got off the table and went out to see to the next customer. I completely understand this as I've been to massage therapist offices like this before, so it wasn't an issue for me. As Cindi was coming back, I needed to check my blood sugar because it seems like it was going low and I didn't wanna have any issues during the massage so Cindi had walked in and I asked her to wait a second so that I could just grab a little snack I was still on the table. I just kinda moved over grabbed a little something from my bag, put it in my mouth and then lay back on the table that took me about maybe a minute I laid back down and Cindi got to work the thing about working with a therapist that doesn't speak English, particularly Cindi, is when she robbed me too hard and it was painful. She did not understand me saying that it was too hard. I probably expressed that she was too hard about 10 times and she didn't really understand until I wanna say maybe about the 12th time. that was frustrating to say the least. once she understood, she did lighten up, which I was appreciative of, but struggling to be clear with my massage. Therapist takes me out of enjoying my massage for sure at the beginning before she began. I let her know that I didn't like it too hard and that I wanted an hour massage. About 40-ish minutes in Cindi told me that my massage was over. Initially, I thought she was just telling me to turn around but nope the massage was over when I looked at my clock. It had said 7:40 PM. I was a bit confused and called her back in even though she didn't really understand English I began to question what was going on since it was only 7:40 PM. We were not understanding each other and then she brought out her phone to translate what she was saying. What she translated was that we start your hour from the moment you step in the door. I'm sorry what? From the moment I stepped in the door? That's insane! I had to go to the restroom. I had to change my clothes, she had a customer to deal with. I needed to take a moment to eat something to bring my blood sugar up. None of that should've been counted and this massage that was 40 minutes, maybe 45 should not count as one hour. This is frustrating and disappointing and honestly not what I was looking for. I tried to explain that even though she didn't speak English and she wound up bringing in someone else that didn't speak English. They seemed nice, but honestly, I was not happy about the situation, even though I continued to be kind and forthright with how I was feeling. The other woman said "OK 10 minutes 10 minutes more no problem 10 minutes more"but honestly I wasn't happy with that. They worked on me for about a minute maybe two minutes but I couldn't relax and 10 minutes more didn't seem like enough so I stopped the massage and I told him that I didn't feel comfortable anymore. They said OK even though they kept speaking in their language to each other. I decided to get dressed and pay them $10 extra. I expressed my disappointment in a kind and respectful manner and they charged me for a 45 minute massage which was $50. I wound up giving them $60. I wouldn't recommend this place because of the language barrier and because honestly them charging me from the moment I walked into the place seems very dishonest. I paid $60 because I wanted to do things right and I always like to leave things better. The other lady tried to give me a bottle of water, but I didn't want a bottle of water so I didn't take it.

** AMY MADE ME SCREAM **…read more In a good way!! My friend recommended this place, so I gave it a try for some sore muscles. Like the reviews say, it's not fancy.

I was immediately greeted by the owner when i walked by. Luckily they had openings and I got my foot rub right away. My masseuse was great and she worked on my tired feet and my plantar fasciitis well. Then, I also got a 60-min body massage after. The bed was a bit hard because they put a paper sheet on top of regular sheet and there is no regular room but a curtain divider. Regardless, the massage was good and even comes with hot stone. At the end, it was a very relaxing massage and definitely worth the price. It is not the luxurious massage from fancy spa but you get a nice bodywork done. Cash is king here and you will get lower price if you pay with cash.

I thought the price was worth the expertise of my masseuse who worked for it. 1 hour foot massage was heavenly. The masseuse knows pressure points and techniques and applied really firm pressure. This is not the limp hands unenthusiastic type of cheap-o massage a lot of other places in the neighborhood sell. I ended it with a quick 15 minute back massage where she focused on my shoulders like I asked and was able to annihilate my knots after the 10 hour flight to NYC 2 days prior. She was on top of me pressing down with all her might. I believe she may also be a pro wrestler. I previously went into a different spa before winding up here but I didn't like the pushy attitude so I left. I'm glad I found this spot. They are flexible and super nice. It's also clean and smells good. I asked to start with a 15 minute foot massage because sometimes a massage at a new place is terrible so it's not worth staying for and I asked to bump it up to 1 hour because it was really good! The staff were really nice about my indecision.

Got a 30 minute massage. Other comments about hospital bed setting, all agree. I mean, this place is very cheap, wasn't expecting much. What i didn't expect was how there was this hierarchy, I paid to X, who then assigned Y, I get massage, come back and pay X. I don't know how to explain, I know that's how one does it normally at a spa, but in a place this small, it gave me a vibe of 1) these ppl really did not want to be work there, and 2) there wasn't a lot for them to say about working there. I'm not quite sure how to put it in words, but definitely not some place I'm going again. I'll pay a few more bucks for nearby massage places.

A 40% mandatory tip posted on the wall. A "cash is better" front desk. A masseur who had to be yelled for like a dog. Real physical pain a full day later. Read this and run. Walked in at 5:35pm for a 90-minute foot massage. Walked into dark room where masseur was sitting in dark, chilling. Told to sit down. Sat 10 minutes while the masseur walked away. First red flag. He came over to start with shoulders, which is standard for Chinese reflexology. I declined and asked for feet and legs only. He dropped my feet in a basin of hot water and disappeared again. Unprofessional from the first second. Once the massage started, it was clear this man has no technique. Zero. 90 minutes of brainless squeezing, yanking, and grinding like he was aggressively scrubbing a pot. No skill. No rhythm. No pressure control. He seemed nice enough as a person. This is just not the job for him. I have hairy legs and he used so little product the friction was unbearable. It felt like rug burn. I told him during the massage. He kept going. I asked for less pressure. He kept going. I asked for more product. He barely adjusted. It is now past 11:15 the next morning and my legs are STILL on fire. Every hair follicle feels inflamed and yanked at the root. Skin feels raw. I woke up in pain. That is not a massage. That is sanding someone's legs down for 90 minutes. Hygiene was vile. He repeatedly plunged his bare hand into an old communal jar of product, smeared it on my bare feet, and dunked right back in. Over and over. No spatula. No pump. No scoop. Just bare hands, bare feet, and one shared open jar collecting skin oils and dead skin from every client before me. NY State requires massage establishments to keep equipment and supplies in a clean and sanitary manner, and double-dipping bare hands into shared product between clients?! This is exactly the kind of sanitation issue that gets businesses written up. The front desk woman seems sweet for 30 seconds. Then, unprompted: "yeah, cash is better." Universal red flag for no paper trail. Combined with everything else, the place is shady. Tipping policy is insulting. Posted on the wall: $20 per hour of service. On a $75, 90-minute massage, that is a mandated $30 tip. 40%. For service this horrible. That is a shakedown, not a tip. After the massage, he vanished again. No thank you. No water. No goodbye. The front desk woman had to yell for him like she was calling a dog. And this is the man collecting a mandatory 40% tip! When asked how it was, and I told her the massage was honestly bad, she did not even ask why. No follow-up. No apology. No concern. Just blank indifference, like complaints are a daily occurrence. She was already pressing the elevator button and standing at the door, ready to flush me out before anyone overheard. I have had hundreds of massages in dozens of countries. Hotel spas, neighborhood shops, luxury resorts, at random beach cabanas, night markets, and even sessions with blind therapists whose technique was extraordinary. This was an able-bodied man with full use of his eyes and hands, and he managed to deliver the worst massage of my life! Every glowing review here and on Google is a lie. Fake, planted, or written by people who have never had a real massage. No honest person walks out of here and calls it good. Take your money and your dignity literally anywhere else. AVOID. RUN.

This had to be the most awkward experience at a massage place in my life, well besides that time I…read moregot a Korean scrub and my masseuse decided to shower next to me. But back to Muse Spa. My friend and I decided to get a massage last Saturday evening b/c we didn't feel like going out to the bars and were in the area. The sitting area and massage rooms were everything you'd expect of a no frill massage joint. One weird thing, and I now know why they make you do this, is you have to pay for your massage AND tip before the start of your massage. What? Yep. And that's b/c you're about to have the worst experience of your massage life. I entered the room about 9:05PM, stripped down and laid on the table waiting for my lady. She came in a few minutes later. She never once removed my towel to massage my skin. Didn't use oils or lotions and didn't use a hot towel. How do I know they even offer this, well my friend that was next door received all of the above. I felt like my lady was just poking me here and there with her fingers and karate chopping my back. There was absolutely no technique used. After a short period, she said, "Ok, finished." Thoroughly confused, I looked at my phone and it had been 20 minutes. I paid for 30. The lady came back in my room and offered me water. I asked why my massage was 10 minutes short. She said, "No, you're wrong it was 30 min." I get dressed and go back into the lobby and sit and wait for my friend. It took me a while to get dressed as it's winter and I had layers and boots. I sat down on the sofa at 9:29PM. So I decided to complain to the manager. I had my credit card receipt saying I payed exactly at 9PM. My friend paid after. I didn't even go into the room until 5 after, then I had to undress and wait for the lady to come in. If we're being honest here, she probably started around 9:10PM and ended at 9:25PM and that's being generous. The woman at the front desk said I would have to ask the woman that was working on my friend. So I waited another 10 minutes for her to be done (watched as a hot towel entered the room). The woman that was working on my friend just smiled and said the girl was new and that she wanted to go home, that's why my massage was short. I said that it wasn't really an excuse, it's a 24 hour massage place and if they couldn't have accommodated two people then they shouldn't have taken our money. She just smiled again and said, she was sorry but the girl was new and was tired. Can't make this up people. In the end, the new-tired-girl-that-wanted-to-go-home-that-lacked-any-sort-of-massage-skill-ended up giving me back my tip. Biggest waste of money ever. Go elsewhere. My friend mentioned her massage was filled with hard pressure, oils, lotions and warm towels. I got none of that.
