The woman who did my session gave me a lot of knowledge about my skin. I learned that I was suffering from acne that is typically caused by oily foundation. She recommended drug store products and skin routines which I have found to be extremely helpful. Overall experience was great and their package deals on microdermabraison are affordable. Can't wait to go back for more services and microdermabraison.

Maybe I wouldn't feel so disappointed if it had been free, but unfortunately, I paid full price for this experience. It honestly felt like the massage therapist had no idea what she was doing. Nobody asked me beforehand what I was looking for or which areas I wanted to focus on. Throughout the session, I tried to guide her toward movements that would actually feel good or help relieve muscle tension, but my feedback seemed to be ignored. Most of the movements completely missed the muscles and were often applied directly over bones instead. At one point, I even got scratched by her fingernails, and that was when I finally had to say something. I'm not the kind of person who finds it easy to get up and stop a service halfway through, especially after paying full price. So I stayed, hoping it would eventually get better. Unfortunately, it never did. I understand that maybe I just happened to get a less experienced therapist, but either way, I won't be coming back or recommending this place to anyone. And that's genuinely disappointing because the salon itself is lovely. The atmosphere was pleasant, everything looked really nice, and the floors were so shiny! My first impression was that I had finally found a comfortable place where I could come regularly. I really wish the actual massage had lived up to that first impression.

The customer service was excellent. The atmosphere was chill and calm and cool. You need a place to decompress and just let some stress out and also at an affordable price, come here. I will be back.

It's amazing Update 2: if you plan to come here and hit on ppl, lemme tell you, you're gonna get what you deserve right back if you keep playing around. We don't play those games here.

I have been a frequent patron of this spot for over fifteen years. For most of that time , I would…read morehave described this banya as heaven on earth. However, new ownership seems intent on slowly ruining this treasured institution. When I heard that the owner of Red Square had taken the Sweatlodge over, I braced myself. I no longer patronize that place due to experiencing a rapid decline in the quality of service and facilities. It turns out my apprehension was valid. In short order, Sweatlodge started going downhill ... - The satellite radio was the first to go. No more chill blues or jazz, but a local radio station that plays obnoxious commercials half of the time. - The wood in the saunas was replaced with much cheaper material. No more pleasant smell of cedar when you walk in. Also, there are exposed screw heads throughout the benches of the dry sauna, which have burnt me numerous times. - The zero gravity chairs that were perfect for a nap have been replaced with uncomfortable wooden chairs. Word is that the owner grew tired of fixing them. But somehow this wasn't an issue for the nearly 20 years they had previously been there. - The ice machine was taken out, and the water tank replaced with a fountain that is often lukewarm. - The sand filtering in the cold plunge was replaced with chlorine. The pool is often much warmer than it should be, especially in warm months. - The food portions are much smaller while meals grow more expensive. For example, I got the chicken soup most of my visits for a decade and a half. It was the best in the city. Now, it is a medium bowl of thin broth. featuring an anemic chicken leg and thigh with a few slices of carrot and potato thrown in - for $17. It was previously served with a small, fresh baked loaf of bread. Not anymore. - The cafe hours have been limited to save on payroll. It doesn't open until well into the afternoon. - Last time I was there, a sign proclaimed that you could request only one extra towel. (This was a classic Red Square tactic. Nickel and dime bullshit.) - 10% service charge added to all services. - One of the TVs had disappeared from the wall last time I visited. All of this while the admission price steadily climbs. I have still visited, but much less often than I used to. An unpleasant surprise has awaited me every time. I will probably pop in once in a while, as the heat is still good, and the plunge still satisfies (when it is cold). The staff is friendly and competent. This is the only reason for my second star. However, I am sure it won't be long before the penny pinching results in an underwhelming experience I refuse to pay for. Many men have been patronizing this joint for even longer than I have, but I would would imagine that they have their limits and will begin to drop off as well if this continues. Really disappointing and a true shame that new owner is ruining this magical place.

I received a couple of gift cards for Vive!, and finally got a chance to visit recently. I was…read morehaving some serious back pain and made an appointment with Amanda. Vive is a very calming space. The lights are low and it's very comfortable. It looks small at first but there's a small waiting room down the hall from the entrance. Since it was my first visit, I spoke with the receptionist prior to my visit, and I filled out a medical/treatment history upon arrival. Amanda reviewed it with me thoroughly before starting my treatment. Amanda was also very professional. In addition to going over health information, she made sure that I was comfortable with what massage entails, that consent and comfort was paramount, and that I could tell her at any point if I was uncomfortable with what was happening. I really appreciated that clear communication. Something that's really helpful is that Vive lists all their therapists on their website, and in addition to their specialties it lists their pressure level. That was extremely helpful to me, because I knew I wanted someone who used firm pressure, so that definitely helped me find the right therapist. My time with Amanda was not only relaxing but helpful, as my back--whilst not completely neutral--felt much better after my session. And within the week the pain was essentially gone. I don't know if this was the reason, but it was certainly a contributing factor. In addition to standard massage, they have an infrared sauna here as well. They also sell a few items that may provide further relief. There are a few parking spaces in the lot directly in front of the business, and there are a few diagonal spaces on the street as well (just be sure not to block the sidewalk). If necessary, there's also parking along the neighborhood streets, too.

I told her my back, shoulders and feet. I told her that I may have plantar fasciitis, she said she would work on that. I had just worked out over the weekend and was so sore. She massaged my muscles and really worked on my feet. It felt amazing! Typically, when I get a foot massage, they barely rub my feet, but Thelma worked on every pressure point on my feet-it felt fantastic! She also worked on all of my target areas. She was wonderful and so nice! She even massaged me a little longer than the scheduled time (since no other clients were there yet). I truly appreciated that so much. I plan to go back this weekend and bring my boyfriend. He will love the thorough massage. Thanks, Thelma!

I don't think they are licensed therapists...it wasnt a professional massage at all and what they did felt like made up moves. My therapist got up twice from my massage to answer the phone and answer the door bell/talk with a walk in.
