$6 to Leave a Tip?! I really wanted to like this spa. It has…read moregreat reviews, a convenient location... what could go wrong? Well, apparently everything at the front desk. When I walked in, the receptionist just stared at me like I was interrupting her very important work of doing absolutely nothing. No "hi," no "welcome," not even a nod. Not the warmest start, but okay, I came for relaxation, not charm school. Thankfully, my massage therapist was a dream. I was ready to float out the door until I reached the front desk again. I told the receptionist I didn't have cash for a tip and asked if I could Venmo. Nope. Then came the kicker: you can use a credit card but there's a $6 flat fee. Not 6%. Six actual, American dollars. For a $20 tip, that's a 30% surcharge! For comparison, most businesses charge a modest 2-4% fee. This felt less like a tip and more like a penalty. Another woman checking out at the same time didn't have cash either and got the same spiel. She sighed, shrugged, and paid the fee too...misery loves company, I guess. To top it off, once I paid, the receptionist didn't even say thank you. She just grimaced. Bottom line: Fantastic massage, but the front desk vibe and tip gouging left a sour taste. I came in to relieve tension, not pick up more. Won't be back.

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.

Found on Yelp and came in for 60 min massage ($60). The first masseuse today was the worst massage…read moreI've ever had in my life. Totally inexperienced and unfortunately, it felt like one of my friend's kids was sloppily petting my back, TERRIBLE. So I politely asked her to get the owner and asked if I could stop at 30 minutes. She offered to switch masseuses mid-massage and I was hesitant but agreed. The second masseuse Angela was EXCELLENT! Dare I say probably top 5 best massages I've had period. As I walked out I could even breathe better... she knew exactly where I had tension and made sure to give extra deep pressure on those spots while also applying hot stones to extra tender areas. I've already booked another 60 minute with her for Wednesday. Went from the worst massage ever to the best massage all in one trip, ha!

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.

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.

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.

But it WORKED. I walked out of there feeling renewed. Or balanced. This is serious bodywork from expert and well-trained practitioners, at great prices. Which means that you can give a bigger tip :) They do charge a fee if you use a credit card.

The man at the front immediately tried to upsell me to a 1 hour and 45-minute massage. I politely declined. The massage I received was awful. The therapist clearly didn't know what she was doing--stones were slipping, falling, and at one point, she was just stacking them on my back, doing nothing. I eventually told her to forget the stones and just focus on my neck, which was the only part that felt remotely okay. After the session, I was told--for the first time--that there would be a $4 credit card fee. I asked if I could pay part cash, part card, but he pretended not to understand me. I ended up paying full price--$54 for a 30-minute massage I didn't really get. Still, I kept quiet about the quality to avoid embarrassing the therapist, and I left a $3 tip. That's when the man at the front yelled at me for not tipping more. He told me that in NYC, a 20% tip is required. I explained that I tipped based on the service I received, but he kept pushing, loudly, in front of other customers. When I said, "Excuse me, that's rude," and reminded him that tipping is at my discretion, he continued yelling and finally told me to never come back--then physically pushed me out of the store. What's wild is that this wasn't even my first bad experience here. During a previous visit, the same man interrupted my massage midway and tried to switch in as the therapist himself. I told him that made me uncomfortable, and I left that time feeling unsettled too. Between the horrible service, hidden fees, aggressive behavior, and the fact that I paid for a massage I didn't receive properly--this place is an absolute no. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
