Let's be real - Graceful Services is your typical hole-in-the-wall massage spot. It's pretty easy…read moreto miss this spot if you're just casually walking down the street, but if you find it, consider yourself lucky. BEWARE - If you're looking for a luxurious massage spot with a spa-Iike look and feel, and top of the line customer service, don't waste your time coming here. This place is a no frills establishment. Having said that, this place definitely meets your massage and well-being needs, and their pricing is more than reasonable. You will definitely not find a place in East Midtown that will charge you a 60-minute massage for $55! Be aware though that all their price points are based on CASH payments only. Expect to pay a slight premium if you're using a credit card as your form of tender. The massage therapists are excellent. Worth every penny. They perform thorough work and use their hands and elbows to do more deeper tissue massages. Don't get scared if they climb on top of your massage bed! Massage rooms look a bit dingy, but again, if look and feel doesn't bother you, then you'll be fine coming here. Rooms are always clean. A couple of things to note - the place does lack customer service. Because the majority of the staff is of Chinese descent, I think the language barrier plays into their low quality customer service. Keep it strictly transactional. Their scheduling is very flexible though. Same day appointments are almost always possible. Also, I would recommend engaging in simple conversation with your massage therapist. They are willing to help, but would advise sticking to very simple language or point to the area of your body where you would like them to focus their attention on. I've been coming here for about 5 years now and up until now, I have been very satisfied every time. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a very good massage for an extremely good price.

Didn't really like the vibe here. Maybe i shouldn't have stopped by a place called Feet Island to…read moreget a massage, so that may be the problem entirely. I can only comment on the massage. 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.

At the recommendation from my BFF; whom assurred me that Feet Island is totally legit and not a…read more"happy endings" kind of place, I can't get enough of it now! The first time can be a bit intimidating, however the staff is completely professional and friendly. I come for the foot massages; where your feet are kneaded like dough and feel like they are being tortured. You leave wanting more. A Jackson gets you a 30 minute foot torture fest. You can't even get a bag chips for that much these days.

I've been here three times and each experience was wildly different. Let me start with the most…read morerecent visit (9/24). I called ahead and specified "focus on my neck and shoulders." Owner told the masseuse and I reiterated the same thing. The masseuse was awful. She picked up her phone two times and had a 2-3 minute conversation. She was rubbing my body and not putting any pressure into any of the muscles. She never checked in with "is it too hard/soft? Do you want me to focus on any area?" And finally, I provided a $10 tip(25%) on a $40 massage. She spoke to the owner who stated "it is customary to provide at least $15 tip for foot massages and $20 for a body massage." The foot massage is $25/hour and the body massage is $40/hour. So you want me to tip 50%?!?! My only tip- DON'T GO. They advertise as $40 but they expect you to tip $20 more. So $60 for a subpar massage?!? I've been there two previous times and I have a $10 and $15 tip and no one said anything.

I always walk by this place so I decided to go in the other day and treat myself. It seemed decent…read moreso instead of just a foot massage I also decided to get a regular body massage as well. The only thing that divides the rooms are half partitions and a curtain. The room I was in was towards the back and there was a gentleman next to me, I only know that because he was heaving towards the end of his sessions, I don't know what was going on in there but I was definitely grossed out because I'm sure he got a happy ending. I pay for my services and the masseuse complains that I didn't tip enough and the woman in the front tells me because there prices are so cheap she asked me to tip a little more which was so tacky and I did but after thinking about it I shouldn't have and should have just walked out. There are plenty of other places that charge the same in this area that I have gone to and have NEVER been harassed to give more for a tip. I won't ever go back here!! There is even a place right across the street I could go to next time!!

This place is a find! Living in NYC most women know that moving into the city means trying out many…read morespas before you find the "one". This is it! After having been to spas all over the city for facials I am happy to commend madison spa (Irina) to be a great revelation. Here's what my first facial was like: The place is tucked in between streets on Madison Avenue. It's got nice treatment rooms. Irina (she did my facial) definitely knows what goes into keeping skin relaxed and happy. I went in with slightly blotchy skin and acne scars. She analysed my skin before making suggestions as to what kind of a facial was best suited for me. She was honest about my skin and how I could treat it better. Also not once during the two hour facial, did she push any product endorsement on me (big plus). Irina then proceeded to treat my skin for two hours (including treatment time for face packs). My facial included a mini micro derm, an oxygen facial and extractions. She was very thorough without pinching my skin. The best part about this facial was that the next day my skin was actually not red or more blotchy than usual. I received my fair share of compliments over the next few days as my skin looked rested and happy. I would love to go back there and see how this feels after 3-4 facials. Definitely recommend.

It felt kinda shady and I didn't feel very welcome. My girlfriend and I were showed our room and told that we would take turns learning to massage each other for an hour with a masseuse. We were excited to learn and ready for a new experience but, turns out, we didn't learn anything. Our instructor was very kind and surprisingly funny but the level of difficulty of the lesson was extremely low. He showed us the simplest hand movements and he even agreed that we could go on YouTube for everything these days. Plus, our masseuse kinda smelt bad. I truly don't mean to be rude but you would expect to be relaxed in a spa. Following our lesson, we were instructed to meet the woman at the counter. She immediately told us that we owed cash for tips/taxes. I told her that I only had $5 in cash but that I had a debit card. She responded, "I told you on the phone to bring enough cash". I quickly told her that she was mistaken and that I was informed only to call a day in advance to confirm my appointment. She rudely sighed, took my $5, and sarcastically asked us, "what am I supposed to do then? Tip him myself?". My girlfriend and I exchanges shocked glances and awkwardly left the spa. Should've trusted you yelpers ...
