The space has a beautiful scent that puts you at ease as soon as you walk-in. I had a signature facial and it really set a new standard for a facial for me. The facial and upper body massage relaxes you, I can't imagine not having a facial with such a nice neck/shoulder/arm massage again. The products they use don't have a strong fragrance -- every detail was perfect. They do give product recommendations after the service but there's no pressure and it doesn't feel sales-y or uncomfortable the way it can at other salons. Highly recommend my facialist Amy!

She went over some of my skin care history and current routine with me. The calming facial I received was refreshing. I felt cold things, hot things, a zappy thing, pinching thing, steam, and more.

I also appreciated that she wasn't pushy with the products and said I will email you what I recommend. My skin looks bright and clean. I also got some chocolate to take with me which was a nice touch. I will be back. Worth every penny.

It IS a shared space - so there may be a few individuals in the beds next to you. I looked for awhile and have tried so many places - but for the value and effectiveness, I will always go to/recommend this place. Others mentioned they didn't like sharing space, which is totally fair - I just think for this price, it's well-worth it and I've not been able to find anywhere else for what it provides.

Since it is a medical spa and they use high-end skincare products, I trust that the facials will leave my skin clean, soft and less inflamed, as opposed to other spas in NYC that can cause breakouts afterwards. Kristen preformed my recent hydra-facial, she was very communicative and understanding of my skin concerns. She tested my skin and really evaluated it with open transparency and kindness. The prices are pretty high, but knowing that the service quality and experience is consistent every time I go, I would suggest 2-3 times a year is well-justified.

Such as... * Text communication for appointments (perfect for us busy folks who can't get on the phone!) * State of the art machines (crucial for those of us with darker skin who need to be mindful). * Extremely well organized staff who keep everything humming perfectly, including the punctuality of appts. * Amazing technicians who not only know what they're doing but are kind and thoughtful and who are efficient but never rushed. (A huge shout out to Julia--she is like soothing balm to my soul and I always leave feeling more relaxed than when I came in despite the lasers lol) * And most importantly, IT WORKS. Whatever sessions you sign up for, I guarantee you see the results. * Oh and second most importantly, it is AFFORDABLE. Start with a Groupon and grow to buying packages directly from them with the specials they regularly offer! It's like the pricing of a place that you don't expect to be the spa-like environment that it is! I know I'm just piling on the great reviews here, but quite frankly, they've earned them!

Been a customer since 2019 but - My experience has taken a…read moredisappointing turn. The owner and manager's unfortunate arrogance, poor management, and lack of respect for their customers have made it clear that they don't value the people who support their business: This place requires a strict 24 hour cancellation policy, but cancels appointments less than 2 hours before appointment time. This has happened on multiple occasions all on flimsy excuses, with an impersonal email, while you have already planned your day. Once or twice is understandable, but repeated instances demonstrate a lack of professionalism and disregard for customers' time (I tolerated this many times over the years) - and they call their last-minute cancellations a "policy", while it is a pattern. Instead of making efforts to retain customers or offer any meaningful resolution, when I finally spoke up, The "manager" working that day right off the bat suggested that I take my business elsewhere, canceled all my future appointments, and deactivated my account as retaliation. My effort to reach the manager was ignored, and they chose to communicate solely over email. The tone was combative and filled with attitude; the manager even lied about the reasons for my past appointment cancellations (see screenshot). There was no accountability and they made no effort to accommodate the customer - there's only immediate defensiveness, dysfunctional communication, and punitive measures for voicing concerns - all on top of yet another last-minute cancellation. Rather than valuing customers and handling things differently, they chose to push them away. When I reported this incident to the owner Rani, rather than addressing my concern, she demanded that I take down my online review in exchange for continued service. When I refused, she aligned with the manager and reinforced severing the relationship (adding, "we wish you the best in your future endeavors"). She also refused to acknowledge the manager's behaviors or take any accountability. This business has failed to uphold even basic professionalism and courtesy. The owner only cares about herself.

Yes, as other reviews stated that this place is serene and minimalistic on fancy spa. You enter in quiet place from the busy Manhattan noise. Everyone is courteous from the moment of entry. This is definitely a great hidden spot among the high end stores and tourist attractions. My massage therapist asked the type of firmness and areas of focus. My muscles felt relieved. They have one bathroom for female locker room which is small so I can imagine the wait if there was more than two people waiting to be changed and go the bathroom. I went mid afternoon on Friday and it was fine. I will have to see how it is after 5PM on weekdays. I will be coming again as it was a great massage for the price I paid.

She set me up with some calming tea and brought me to a private changing area with a locker for my belongings. Everyone in the vicinity checked in to make sure I was doing ok. I was worried that because I had arrived late, I would eat up some of my massage time. No siree! They moved my massage to start when I was ready to begin. I booked the 90 minute Nuansa classic massage. You know how some places start the clock before you've sat down and finish the massage early (aka you pay for an hour and it's only about 45 minutes)? Well! That's not the case here! I got all 90 minutes of my massage. The massage itself: not to be believed. Lukkana started by saying "time to relax". And boy did I. Let me tell you one thing about me - I have the most ticklish legs of anyone I've ever met. Usually, when I have my legs massaged, I kick a hole in the wall and the masseuse files for a lawsuit (this is an exaggeration). Well! Somehow, Lukkana was able to work the muscles in my leg without triggering my dainty ticklish reflexes. I was astonished! Then, you know how sometimes you ask for a firm touch and you get jelly hands? Or the other way around and you're walking out with bruises? WELL - Lukkana made me feel immensely relaxed WHILE ALSO really working the tissue. What a novelty. She finished up with a scalp massage, which is truly the way to my heart. 11 out of 10. Would recommend. Thank you so much for making my day.
