Around an hour before my friend told me she would be running late. For the entire hour, every ten mins i tried calling to alert them that we will be running late but no one answered the phone so eventually I left a message. Around 10 mins before the massage the front desk man called me, as is customary when you have an appt. I told him that my friend and I would be running around 30 minutes late. At this he scolded me for letting him know 10 minutes before that we are coming late. I didn't even bother to explain that I had been trying to call for the past hour and told him to go F himself. There are three other massage places similarly priced in the area that are just as good, so no big loss on my part.

Opted for a standard 60 minute massage. Was taken to a fairly non-descript room that was very white. And not shady or gross. After undressing, the masseuse came in, greeted me and started in. She asked about pressure and any focus areas. And accordingly, delivered a very good massage for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this place!

Best service for an asian massage in Astoria so far.

This tops one of my worse experience for nails!! Purchased a gel manicure deal from groupon. I did…read moremake an appointment and showed up on time but had a hard time finding the salon. The nail salon is located inside another salon and doesn't have their logo outside for display for you to even locate them. Poor selection of color well they barely have any colors. My gel manicure lasted me 5 days which is fine because I hated the way it looked. I am very expressive about my feelings and I did walk out with a disappointed look. Shafgupta was the manicurist that did my nails. She's good to have a conversation with but highly untalented when it comes to nails. She kept commenting on how my nails are weak. I always do 3 layers of gel color but they never looked thick and cakey. The sides of my nails looked awful as there's pieces of skin covered in polish or spots without polish. Despite my nails being weak that should have nothing to do with how awfully the polish was applied. My cousin even asked me if I did my nails at home because they didn't look professionally done at all. There's a $5 charge for nail polish removal which I did pay for as I had polish from before. This was my experience and I'd surely wont be back again!!

Unfortunately I'm going to give a 1 star for this spa. I purchased a Groupon, and made an…read moreappointment. So when I arrived for my appointment at the address given for the spa, the beauty salon outside has a different name ok. I go in, it's a hair beauty salon with one chair for pedicure. I was hoping this wasn't the place because it looked like it wasn't ready, ok now they take me to the back on the lower level. I get there and there was one person and the place downstairs looked a little nicer from the front I didn't get to see the back. But then the young lady makes a call and I'm guessing her boss to let her know that I have arrived. She tells her to send me to the other salon. Mmm ok I guess these salons are associated with each other. Great it gets better, I go around the block and when I arrive there was a few people getting their hair done and one nail technician working on a customer's nails. So they told me it would be a few more minutes. I made my appointment at 4 PM, it's now going on to 4:30 PM. He finally wraps up with her and it's my turn. He walks me over to the pedicure area, and the place is honestly filthy. The massages chairs did not work, it looked really old, the arm chair didn't go back down. So all this before we even get started. Ok cool. I chose my nail color and I told the nail tech I wanted French pedicure, his response was that it would be $5 extra dollars I said ok. But then I said I wanted it for both hands and feet he said ok $10 extra. I've NEVER heard $10 extra just to put a line on both of my feet and nails. So I decided to just stick with my hands for the French. We wrap up the pedicure and we go to the table for my manicure. All is great as mentioned, but then there's multiple flies buzzing around and landing on my purse my arm etc. Flies are disgusting and are obviously around for a reason in this establishment. It didn't seem to bother anyone but me. So here's the best thing (hear the sarcasm) to top off this manicure after the tech works on my nails and puts my fingers in the bowl of water there's a fucking baby roach in the bowl. And I didn't realize it until after I took my hands out. Ughhhh disgusting, but ok I don't flip. I just refuse to put my hands back in there. I just want him to finish my manicure so I can get out of this place. The tech kept insisting for me to put my hand back in there I said no look in the bowl. He's like oh wow laughed and changed the water. Mmm no thank you. The tech knows what he's doing, and takes pride in his work I can see that so I will give him the star. The establishment no thank you. Won't be trying this place again.

Seemed like reason enough to give Oceanland Spa a chance. As indicated in the photos posted, the space isn't large. Unassuming entrance on a busy street, up a flight of stairs. The new client questionnaire is surprisingly thorough. It cautions clients that bikini waxing can cause Herpes Simplex flare-ups. Something I never knew or heard before. You learn something everyday, my fellow Yelpers. Grace was thorough, yet gentle. She used a violet-hued wax and informed me that as it was organic it'd cause less discomfort than the typical salon wax. She was right about it hurting less & there wasn't any lingering redness. The soothing cream used didn't irritate my freshly waxed underarms & the elevator music playing in the background distracted me from the yank-yanking sounds of unsightly body hair being pulled away. Oceanlab Spa is open 7 days a week and besides waxing, they offers skincare and massage therapy. Combo packages are available & Grace suggested calling ahead to make sure she was there for my next visit.

Katie is a very gracious woman. My massage was almost as good as I've ever had, finished with a warm towel. I went in extremely sore and left feeling fine, fixed up, so no complaints here. Best to call in advance, but I needed no appointment. The location and ambiance is workaday. It's a basement apartment with carpet and furniture like you might get on Craigslist, so it's cozy but no-frills. You massage is in a small room partitioned and curtained from the main space. Bland possibly-relaxing music plays softly in the background. In short, the place is sparse and comfortable--totally fine, but I'd say this is what will keep it from a fifth star. If you were pickier than I was, you might be a little less happy here, and I think some simple upgrades to furniture and decor will be what makes this place perfect. But they have some nice attention to detail--fake potted plants on the staircase down from the street to the iron barred door brighten the feeling a bit. Value is very good. Prices are somewhat under a dollar a minute for longer massages; the longer the massage the better the value. I don't think you could find a better price in the city, so this place excels in this regard.
