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.

Our massages, given in a very clean, large and well equipped couples room were excellent. They were very strong, using just the right amount of oil, hot stones, and they even included scalp and facial massages. We will certainly be going back!

Made an appointment again but ended up not getting started on for over 45 minutes. When I walked in I was a bit grossed out by the sewage smell that never went away. I asked the head lady in charge if they had the color I showed her on my phone...she said yes. I finally get Lisa who asks why I'm getting powder and tells me UV gels better and kept asking why I don't get it instead...I said I'll look into it if it's healthy or not...she persisted...I declined repeatedly..she started laughing and talking to the technician next to her-all I could make out was uv and powder in what sounded like a complaining, condescending tone. (The first time the leading lady tried to convince me to get gel as well but in a much nicer way-so it appears they don't like doing powder and removing it) Once she's done removing my last manicure she pulls out uv gloves and tries to put them on my hands...I asked her if she was going to do UV gel anyway even though I said no....she says yes, I tell her no, she starts complaining again in her language to the technicians near her. I had to ask if she knew how to do powder as I was beginning to get worried. After 2 hours the end result was fine, but in a color other than what I asked for and I'll probably have to go get them redone. So Be warned if you do go here...make sure you get gel! (And bring a translator) *also know they do not give complimentary massages while your nails dry as most other salons in the area do, instead they have a man who asks you if you want a massage, starts and then tells you the fee. Thankfully I picked up on this from seeing him do this to others before he got to me.

I was given two gift cards to this place for Christmas…read more The pedicures cost $40 right off of the bat, which is incredibly overpriced. The first time I came here the woman giving me a pedicure offered me a massage for my pedicure which I had already had on my gift card. When I went to go pay they told me I asked for another ADDITIONAL massage so I had to pay more $$. I was upset, but paid and let it go. I received an email later from the salon that they would give me a $10 coupon to come back for the miscommunication. So here I am, finally about 8 months later making my way back here to use my coupon. I ask how much for callus removal, which they say $15. Again, overpriced but I accept. The girl doing my pedicure scrubs my feet instead of using the scraper and I ask why she didn't use the scraper. She said they couldn't use it because of covid. Which would have been helpful to know PRIOR to spending the $15. This place is a rip off and I'll never come here again. The pedicure isn't great enough where it's worth $40 even. It's a normal pedicure. There is absolutely nothing special about it. Worst of all they don't care about taking advantage of people and their money. It's like they don't realize people won't come back again. Both times I've been here the place has been absolutely empty. Recommend going somewhere else. Anywhere else at that. I'll never come here again. It's unlikely they'll end up staying in business.

The table was comfortable, the room and ambience were also comfortable. The massage was great, full body. Just what I needed! Next time, I may not be so lucky to walk right in and will make an appointment. I do recommend this new business. It is clean and comfortable and the prices are pretty good for a massage. Right now it's a small secret in Glen Cove, but with this type of massage and those prices, it won't be a secret for long.
