The spa was super clean and service was great. At checking when I explained I was a first timer they took extra time to explain everything and I never felt rushed. Customers were polite and the vibe was super chill. After a morning with -8 degree frigid temperatures it was perfect to warm up! Stayed 3 hours and left relaxed and refreshed. I'd recommend this for sure and will be back next time I'm in nyc. Only item I'd say was a bit of a challenge was that it got so crowded it was hard to find a seat in the saunas and steam rooms but this was a very minor imposition. People kept moving around so I didn't have to wait too long for a place.

She is fun and friendly and you dont mind spending money. Its an older place but they have a very hot sauna that really opens your pores. Inside this room they have buckets that are constantly being filled with cool water so you can douse yourself to cool off. If you dont cover your ears, they will have some burn to it. My friends and I wear sauna hats to protect it. They also have an "ice" bath that is very cold. 2 other steam rooms. The staff is very friendly.

Seemed really off to answer with " What do you mean? ". I found the interaction tasteless to I preceded with, " Is this the barcode for the services?" I was the only one there. She seemed too busy and looked at me again with a really disconnected demeanor and seemed annoyed at my presence. The barcode took me the reviews lol Finally, I asked what the website is " Is it heyday.com?" The bright woman said yes. Lol She asked me what do you mean twice in the two minutes I was there lol I mean. It's dumb. Not saying she is. The interaction was. Thanks anyway, I'd rather pay not to have a bad day.

The fact that this establishment is in a private condominium building that formally was a church seemed super unique and unassuming. I am a fan of their customer service, flexibility, and professionalism. From the moment I booked my appointment, I felt like they truly had a personalized concierge service to accommodate my needs and schedule. The location is small but cozy, neat, and clean. It does not have the typical commercial spa feel, so expect to experience a more old-school homey no frills feel.

My friend made us reservations for a one hour massage to treat me for my birthday. Waiting area was…read moreslightly chaotic because it's a small space and there were multiple people coming in at that time 3:30pm on a Sunday. There was tea, nuts, hot and cold water, magazines for you to use and leverage before and after your massage. Each guest is supposed to take off their shoes in this waiting area, but not all guests did that, which results in some guests walking around with their outdoor shoes and some who were barefoot. I have a thing about my bare feet touching ground so I didn't particularly enjoy that. The patient intake process consists of three forms to fill out basically to ask you which areas the masseuse should focus on and what methods you enjoy. Light, medium, deep tissue or combo. And whether you wanted elbows, arms, etc used. For the massage itself, it started off with a bit of aromatherapy. I definitely smelled lavender and it was nice + relaxing. The masseuse also acknowledged that I wanted to focus on lower back, so that's good, but noted that it's a full body massage, which is fine. I remember a hot towel being used pretty early in the process and then multiple times during the massage as well so that was nice. I think the pressure could have been harder for me and at times it didn't feel like a massage but light touches and some pressure. I think I would have preferred to go a bit harder but I didn't voice it because the areas where she went hard/pressured are not areas where I want additional pressure. I think the lower back was maybe slightly more focused on but not enough for a noticeable difference to me. The best part was probably when I was facing up tbh. My massage time also ended earlier than my friend and she went in before me. It felt like 10 minutes of waiting, so I'm not sure if my friend got more time or me less. My friend did mention it was for my birthday and the receptionist guy asked when it was and I said in a week and a half, but he didn't give me chocolate covered strawberries like another Yelp user noted. Overall, it's the next day and I feel good. But the actual massage was probably just okay. I wonder if the typical massages I get are instant relief rather than long term relief. Other massages that are much cheaper have given me such good relief in the moment. This massage feels more like gentle touching, poking but it seems to work because the next day I feel good and lower back isn't so pained, but it could also be my CBD gummies. I'm glad I had the experience but I don't think I would come back just given the price and what I received. I would much prefer the more affordable options in Chinatown.
