I used to come here for years. The massages were awesome and it just a hospitable place overall…read more The owner was friendly and accommodating. However, it's under new management, so the prices are higher and they push too much for longer massages. The lady who massaged me was nice, but spent too much time on my back. Her English was not good, so it was frustrating to communicate with her. I asked for 30 minutes and before my massage was over, the owner opens the curtain. Mind you, I am face down and still nude under the sheets. My female masseuse walked away while the male owner was persistent in pushing for an hour. He told me $60 for an hour or to end my session now. I said, "You need to have your prices upfront because that's not what your masseuse told me. Also, you're pressuring me to make a choice now while I'm naked. This is very uncomfortable for me and super inappropriate." He semi laughed and started to come over to finish the massage and I said, "No, don't touch me." Then when I went to pay, I gave her $50 (I did 30 mins for $40. When I told her to give me change, she bluntly asked, "how much do you want to tip me?" That's unprofessional. You're supposed to give me my change and then wait for your tip. It's like she got upset I didn't give her the whole $50 after that rude interaction with her manager. I left very unhappy and will never go back.

A friend of mine came in Sunny Sunflower Spa (on 2/15/24) for what she thought was going to be a…read moreprofessional massage. She had a male worker who was VERY inappropriate with her. He got aroused during her massage and made it known by putting his private part in her hand. He also put his face next to hers, & wanted to continue the massage even after the timer went off to stop. After the massage was over he complimented her body. After her visit, I checked the reviews to see if anyone else had a similar experience. I did read about a similar experience with a male worker name George... This is highly unprofessional and disgusting. She did not ask for that kind of treatment. Customers are clearly being taken advantage of..

Super reasonably priced massages at $60/hr. I stopped by at Brightful Day Spa as a walk in after…read morecalling the day before & being told that walk ins are allowed. The recommended time was before 3pm - I arrived shortly after opening at 11:30. Unfortunately, they only had 1 masseuse that was already booked for an appointment. I came back later at 12 for the walk in, when their second masseuse arrived. Highly recommend just calling ahead and booking an appointment to avoid the limited staffing in the earlier hours. Tina was my masseuse, and she was so sweet! She really massaged out my knots at my requested pressure - it hurt SO good. The massage was well paced, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part. Would definitely request Tina again if I return! Each massage "room" is clean and spacious, but the curtains don't close too tightly. Not much of an issue, but the rooms towards the front have small gaps in the curtain that may or may not be visible from the waiting space. Just something to note, definitely not a dealbreaker. Cash & card are both accepted.

Don't think twice, look no further, this place is truly a great find! I wish I lived here just so I can get my massages here...ALL THE TIME! All I have to say is come here, you won't regret it! Visiting NY we did plenty of walking and running around from place to place all day long, everyday! We were exhausted by the end of the day. My legs and feet were definitely feeling it a few days into our trip. So we planned on getting massages while we were here on vacation. Everyday I looked to see where we could get a good massage. I finally found one! I called in the morning and Steve answered the phone. I was hoping and asked if we can schedule same day appointment. He asked what time we were looking for and let him know, a couples massage for evening if possible. He said that he could make that happen! I asked if we could also extend it longer past an hour (cause an hour is never long enough!) and he was able to do that as well! I wish I could remember who our masseuses were cause they were amazing! I loved every single minute of our 90 min massages! I let my masseuse know of any sensitive areas and she knew exactly what to do and had just the right pressure! It was so relaxing I wish it didn't have to come to an end! My favorite part was the hot stones! Steve was very nice and accommodating. His staff were very professional. Pricing is $60/hour, which the best you will find and can't beat! Honestly one of the best massages I've had in a very long time with great customer service!

Do NOT come here. I understand reviews can be polarized but if you live in New York City, so many…read moremassage places. DO NOT, DO NOT COME HERE. I just visited for my first time on Thursday, August 8, 2024. It will certainly be my last. Aside from the massage tables being extremely uncomfortable and the face area uncomfortable and small, I am listing my experience below. I have another place that I enjoy visiting but out of convenience, I thought I would try this massage place. I called ahead of time to make an appointment. I had confirmed that I wanted a woman and I was told all of the staff members are women. I noticed a lot of the visitors were all men. (eyebrow raise) When I arrived (15 minutes earlier), I was not greeted with a smile or even a hello. I even pondered if I should leave because the energy in here was very unsettling. Massage therapists kept walking past and seemed tired and angry. The curtains between each booth were covered in sheets. I know when coming to these asian massage places, it is not always luxury and that is okay with me if the service is good and the people are kind and professional. The person I had kept looking into the sheeted cover when I was not fully undressed. Instead of a towel, it is a thin sheet that is placed over the body when you lay on the table. The woman I was given massaged the area for only 50 seconds before she ripped it off of me. She ripped the sheet off of me and pulled down the back of my underpants. It was so unprofessional. She was definitely tired and using her elbow a lot but not massaging with intention and when she did use her hands, you knew she wanted to not give a real massage. When I did tell her that I would like some more pressure (it was lighter than a swedish massage) she ignored me and pretended to not understand. They seemed to be overworked one person after the next, no one spoke english or even tried. She was hurting me (I love deep tissue but this was awful). It was just pressing with her elbow and light, light massage with hands. When she did use her hands, she made annoyed sounds. I changed my massage from 90 minutes to 40 minutes. I regret not speaking up sooner. As you can imagine laying on the table you are quite vulnerable. Another woman came in to at least massage my shoulders so I would not walk out completely disoriented after being pressed with elbows and not even having anything massaged out. The woman that came in and took over answered the phone in the room and placed the phone between my calves. I read that it was noisy here but its an unpleasant noisy - not city noise or doorbells and phones ringing. It is more of the staff having conversations with one another. Four people stood outside with me when it was time to pay, I was not offered water. It was a HORRIBLE experience. The woman that took over (seemed to be like a manager) did not even come outside to speak with me afterwards. Avoid at all cost.

The entrance might be off putting but once you climb the stairs and enter your are greeted by a very gracious woman dressed very well and looking professional She immediately ushers me into an immaculate cubicle via a tiny path. There are about 8 " stalls" without doors hence not as private as I prefer My stall was closest to the front window which was darkened but did not stop the busy Lexington Ave noise from distracting me The foot rub here is superb ( albeit there is no wash bin for your feet ) The 60 fee was inline with others I would give it a 5 if it were a bit more private and afforded a foot wash. That said it warms a solid 4 stars

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.

I'm used to getting…read moreAsian massage in LA county and I assumed the price would be more expensive here in Manhattan but when I saw a few places offering $55 for an hour I felt like I had to try it. Really glad I did! It was a painful massage but in the best possible way. It was like getting a massage in China. It hurt but every thing the guy was doing was with intention. Some of the places in LA are just being lazy just patting you down giving you half their attention or one time they just tried to flatten me like pizza dough. I consider that a waste of time and money. My masseuse was really searching for every knot and tried with a hefty amount of strength to work through it. It was exactly what I needed but I can imagine some people just not being able to take it. Imagine a knot being found in your back and then just someone shoving their elbow in it and hearing loud popping. It was sooooo therapeutic and I'm still sore a few days later but feeling so loose and without any real tension. It's like a weight is lifted all my shoulders. Pretty sure you can ask for a lighter massage. I heard a guy next to me say 6 out of 10 so I'm sure lighter massages are available. Can't repeat this enough, I'm going back again!
