I've been coming to Island Spa for about a year now, and it's still in heavy rotation whenever I…read moreneed a real reset. My go-to is the foot massage (elite), but I've also done the scalp massage, which somehow always ends with me drifting off. It's not a luxury spa with eucalyptus towels and cucumber water--and that's honestly part of the charm. It's clean, quaint, well-run, and the staff is consistently kind and professional. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, and they usually have good availability, which in NYC already feels like a win. One thing to know: pressure can sometimes be a little strong or a little light depending on who you get, so don't be shy about speaking up. They're very receptive, and once it's dialed in, it's perfect. My boyfriend and I once did a 1-hour foot massage and both fell asleep. At the same time. In public. No regrets. Consistently solid, great value, and one of those places I keep coming back to.

It was the perfect place for my friend and me to relax, enjoy the infrared sauna and cold plunge, and spend some quality time catching up. Bonus points for the Bluetooth setup so we could listen to our tunes inside the sauna and the red light panel. From the outside, it's tucked into the middle of a strip mall that doesn't look like much, but don't let that fool you the inside is beautiful and peaceful. It's a hidden gem that feels like an escape. I'll definitely be back!

The sauna has different light options, timer, ability to connect to your phone through Bluetooth to play your own music. The cold plunge was great as well (I think it was around 50 degrees). The shower had shampoo, conditioner and body wash that smelled amazing. Everything was thoughtfully laid out, and the staff were very helpful and welcoming. You can tell that Kontra Baths was created with genuine care for wellness and the client experience! Whether you're looking to unwind, recover from a tough workout, or just treat yourself to something special, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be returning.

Loved the head spa, massages were great both on my back and legs/feet. I'd come back in a heartbeat. My only criticism is they didn't fully blow dry my hair after the wash, it was more like a damp-dry. But otherwise this place is awesome and I'm looking forward to my next appointment.

I had the Signature Head Spa today and it was absolutely fantastic. The spa itself is clean, the…read morestaff is friendly and considerate, which made the whole experience feel relaxing from the moment I walked in. The treatment started with cooling under-eye patches and then turned into so much more than just a head spa. In addition to the amazing scalp treatment, there was also massage on my back, neck, shoulders, and arms (which was such a wonderful surprise!). I was expecting a great scalp treatment, but I definitely wasn't expecting a full upper-body relaxation experience! Another thing that completely impressed me was that they blow out your hair afterward. I honestly thought I'd have to leave with wet hair, so it was such a treat not only to have a dryer available but to have the therapist do the blowout for me. I left with my hair and scalp feeling so clean, and my whole body felt loose and relaxed. The entire experience exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to make this a regular thing! I'll absolutely be back. Yenny was who I booked with!

Definitely recommend, nice and relaxinggggggg; great foot massage. The staff and owners we met were super funny and super nice and made the experience great. Definitely going back. Depending on your hair type may be helpful if you had your preferred hair products and communicated to the team your needs. There is a drying station available to get your hair blow dried but my mom and i opted to not get hair blown there ( have 4c hair) and would prefer to do on my own with my own products. The location has parking in the back accessed next to the deli business next door. Very clean establishment and near other businesses as well. Thanks for a great experience and memory.

Went here today with my husband for a couples massage and korean body scrub. Both services were…read moreexcellent and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. You really felt like you were being taken care of because they wanted to. We got to soak in a private hot tub for 20 minutes, then were led to the steam room, scrubbed down, massaged, and finished off in the sauna. The place was extremely clean and very tranquil. We got very lucky because we were the only ones there at that time so we had the whole place to ourselves. Felt like a rooftop garden. Emma who did my massage applied the perfect amount of pressure and paid specific attention to my body. We will be back very soon.

It was a very relaxing and rejuvenating stay. My therapist hits every spot of my body that needs tender love and care. I felt like staying for the possible longest time.

The lobby is so serene with an absolute relaxing decor...flowers and butterflies. Worth staying here while waiting for our turn. Parking is available in the back for no fee. Location is so close to shopping stores and restaurants . I am seeing myself returning.

Her personality, technique, form and everything about her put me in such a good mood and relaxation. I was super nervous to get a prenatal massage because I heard it can causes preterm labor. Believe it or not, Im not sure if it was a coincidence but I ended up having my son the next day. My mom calls it the best massage ever because I was I was desperately not trying to give birth on 4/1 which was my scheduled c section. Thankful for the amazing technique of Angies massage I gave birth on 3/20 which was the first day of spring and eid. Angie gave me the best massage of my life and I would highly recommend her for all your massage needs. She know your areas that you need attention and knows how to melt the stress away. Thank you Angie your massage was legit the best birthday present of my life!

We had made an appointment and the lady at the front called to remind us while we were on our way. The place was very clean, well kept, and smelled great. I think the prices are very reasonable. I love that they asked us our preference of the masseuses gender as well as if we wanted to be together or not. The rooms are separated by curtains, which makes it easy to transition from single to couples massage, without having to wait for a couples room to be available. With that, you can easily hear the customers in the other rooms but they have headphones that you can use with very relaxing music to tune out the extra noise. My masseuse did a very good job. She was sure to check on me occasionally throughout the massage. While her pressure was sometimes a bit too much in the shoulder blade areas, I'm always reluctant to ask them to scale back because then I feel like they go TOO soft lol. That assist the rest of my massage was good and I left feeling very relaxed.

You can definitely hear people in the areas next to you. However, headphones are provided with soothing music. The staff are very friendly. I always recommend this spa to people and I always look forward to returning back for a massage.
