I've been going here for a few months now. Needed a manicure before a client meeting one day and…read moreeven tho I usually do one like once a month or once every two months I didn't have the time to fix chipped nail polish so I ran over here during my lunch hour. Service here is impeccable. They are thoughtful, kind, the ambiance and feel of this place is amazingly peaceful and it's super duper clean. All the things you need in a spa. They've even got some sort of sound proofing thing going on because whenever I've come here there hasn't been traffic noise - it's truly a peaceful oasis in an otherwise frantically crowded neighborhood. That being said, I've now come here a few times. My manicure have always been ooookaaaaaay. But I return because it's a wonderful experience. You lie down, there are comfy pillows, almost an eerie silence with very calming music playing overhead and it always smells lovely. It's a great way to spend a lunch hour and kind of recharge your batteries after a rough morning. This past visit (probably like my 5th or 6th - I don't always remember to check in) my manicure really wasn't okay. It was bad. I hate having to do things like ask for the nail file and file my own nail after someone makes it significantly shorter and files it into a crooked square shape...when I try to keep my nails a nice medium length (rather than short :-/) and I was clear about wanting a more rounded square. I had to fix a few after I was done...I also had to ask for my (very attentive) nail tech to paint the sides where she would miss a lot of my nail...having to fix some left some nails darker than others. She also did one coat of the deep blood red polish I chose and then a top coat. Any polish, especially darker colors require a minimum of 2 coats. This is pretty common nail polish knowledge. She was so nice and I was nice about it but after paying and getting to my office I was pretty horrified at how my nails looked. They were all really weird. Lots of marks, lots of unnecessary thickness, some air bubbles - I was pretty upset. There's also usually a brief complimentary back rub done afterwards which is a really nice treat and something I got used to the previous times I've come here which makes the experience worth coming back for considering every mani I've had here has been ooookay. Yesterday's was not okay. There are photos. Today I've got two nail polishes where the polish has chipped from just typing at work...my normal Astoria spot manicures generally last me 3 weeks. I'll probably return sometime for a couples massage or something as I mentioned my fondness for this place to my husband, but I don't know if I'd come back for another manicure. I don't do my nails that often and I need consistency...plus it hurts to spend money on something that's meant to treat myself and the final result is something I could have done to myself 100% better. I felt like I had to kind of hide my hands during my client meeting. Again, I've had good experiences here and not let frustrated so 3 stars for A okay. Ooookaaaay.

The entire team went ABOVE and BEYOND to make my second experience pristine! They were apologetic and accommodating. I truly understand that things happen and my skin did not agree with something, but their willingness to correct it trumps my flare up. My return was met with concern and an eagerness to provide excellent care. I can't stress how much they apologized and it felt so sincere. Sometimes you get poor service and people make excuses or worse than that, don't acknowledge your concern at all, but that was definitely not the case here. I appreciate Mi Ra for being so sweet and supportive & big shout out to the manager, Sung for truly caring about my experience! Thank you guys again!!! In a few days my face will be better. I'll never forget how you made this better for me. Tha

Hands down, best bang for your buck…read more Tips: 1. Call ahead if you want something after work, though you probably don't need to if you come during the middle of the day or off peak-hours. 2. It's located next to the Japanese market and a bunch of other asian eateries...go on upstairs (don't be scared by the not so luxurious surroundings) 3. Expect a no frills place - bamboo sliding doors (no real walls so you can hear everything else going on) but it was clean and quiet so no complaints 4. Get ready for the hardest (best, most relaxing) deep tissue massage ever - I have been to Burke Williams, and other comparable (and expensive) spas all over the west coast and pay a ton of extra money to have someone dig their elbows deep into my back and NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE (aside from my therapist in Hawaii) can work out the knots in my back EXCEPT the kind, older asian lady who LITERALLY got up on the table to get enough pressure in. 5. They accept credit cards, but be sure to tell the cashier that you want to add gratuity to it (there's no line to add it once its printed) and for the love of god, tip big since this place only charges $50 for a 60 minute massage and the ladies really do work incredibly hard 6. If you need tension relief from sore muscles that only a deep tissue massage can bring, this is your place. Don't waste money on sweedish massages that feel like someone rubbing your back for $200. But, if you can't get over not having all the amenities of a full spa (sauna, jacuzzi, fresh towels, etc) then this is not the place. Would highly recommend for anyone staying in the area!

FYI: The workers here barely speak English and the massage beds are separated with curtains. We were taken to our section where they had two massage beds. They didn't ask us any questions or how hard/soft we wanted. They also didn't tell us who the masseuses were until we laid down on our front side. I had a male masseuse and my bf had a female masseuse. They focus a lot on the buttocks and lower hips/tail which is fine because I feel like masseuses in general don't touch the buttocks. Tbh I enjoyed the massages under the blanket, but the oil massage was a bit too long because I would get cold as I laid there half naked from the top to my buttocks. Feel like they should cover up some body parts if they are not massaging that area. Lastly, the hot stones wrre a bit too hot for me. However, I very much enjoyed how they massaged our head to toes. It was very much needed. I say 80 min felt a bit too long. Therefore, you get what you paid for and it was a great deal.

Thai Senses was just down the street from my hotel so it was very convenient. I was able to book a massage online through their website. I don't know all the various styles of massage, but the descriptions on the website steered me to a Thai-Yoga combo massage. Booking was easy, but right after they called and asked if I could move up a half hour earlier to accommodate their schedule. Wasn't a problem for me so I agreed. The spa is in a little high-rise building sandwiched between taller ones. I walked right past it, but then I saw the address numbers and walked back, counting down, and there it was. Inside was a little hallway with a security guard in front of the elevator (made me think of the Men In Black movie!). He was friendly, asked if I had an appointment, and then made me sign an In/Out list with my name and where I was going. Not a problem, I understand the need for security. When I got up to the spa, they were already expecting me. The staff were professional and courteous. I left my shoes at the door and was shown into a room right away. The room was warm with quiet music playing. It was clean and smelled nice. The therapist did a wonderful job with my massage. Ask for Mona - she was fantastic! It was over all too soon - I got an hour, but I should have scheduled a longer one. I can't speak to how their prices compare with other spas, but I was very satisfied with what I paid for the massage I got. They hit me up for the gratuity on my way out the door. I rode the elevator back down, signed out of the guard's log book, and I was back out on the street. A very positive experience overall. I was just passing through so I may never return, but if I am ever in NYC again I would not hesitate to go back.

If I wanted oil gently rubbed all over my body, I could've stayed home and done it myself for free. A real massage should leave you feeling refreshed, loose, maybe even a little dizzy when you stand up. Instead, I got up feeling exactly the same, except irritated and robbed. Calling this "deep tissue" is laughable. It was nothing but soft, pointless rubbing the entire time. So if you enjoy actual pressure, strong hands, or getting your money's worth do not come here. This place is for people who think a massage is just lotion and vibes. Total waste of time and money. Avoid.

They even had a bathroom with a shower and robes/slippers for us to use after we were finished. It's a step above your no frills massage parlor!
