Jerry was really good. The thing is, I paid thru credit card for 90 mins. $35:1 hr so another half hr would be half of that right, which is $17.50. No. They charged $25 for that other 30 mins. Total:65.25 with the tax. I was supposed to give a big tip for Jerry but that was a scam, ended up giving him $5 because of that! Be aware. No to that 30 mins. They weren't transparent with their price in the first place! read more

I was referred to this place by a friend and I will absolutely be making a routined visit. Upon arrival, I was greeted immediately by a friendly staff member. I checked in for my 6:30 appointment, and was asked my preference of male or female masseuse (to which I had no preference). At 6:30 exactly, I was led by Peter to a small room in the back. I ordered a 45 minute massage for $40 (WHAT A STEAL!) and he provided one of the best full body massages I've ever had, and I'm a regular at a few local spots. I'll absolutely return for an oil massage, as the dry massage was fabulous. read more

If you're in the area, can pop right in like we did for an afternoon rub down. Wife chose the one hour foot and I did 1/2 foot and 1/2 full body. We started with the foot rub and then 30 min later went to a separate room for the full body. Wife commented the masseuse was a bit inconsistent (as others commented), where she told him he could go harder...did so for a little while and then went back to a lighter touch than desired. Whereas my foot rub was ok, the body seemed better since my guy put much of his weight on my back -- which I liked. So next time, I'll be checking out a full hour of body massage instead. But $39/hour for the half half and $29/hour for the foot is not bad. Make sure to tip your people properly. Cash is better with discount and don't forget the 10 punch card for 11th free. read more

Renew Body Wellness - Front entry to second floor - Massage Near Me - New York, New York

I was groped here during a massage. Maybe there was a language disconnect but I've never had my breasts touched and groped during a massage even at this location previously. If you're a woman I'd really refrain from going with a male masseuse. read more

I have been getting massaged here for the past 14 years and I've always had a pretty good experience. I've recommended many of my clients here based off the great service over the past years. The workers here are very hardworking and I'm not sure if it's the manager or the owner (both male) have always treated me and my partner really well. There have been times that we call last minute and they always manage to squeeze us in (I think generally anywhere you go you will find people that massage great and others that have a heavier hand). Today me and my partner decide to get a late night foot rub but we didn't make an appointment we just walked in. It was 9pm on a Friday night and there was a woman at the front desk so my partner and I walked in and he said "hi we'd like to get two foot massages by two females " she replied back immediately with a disgusting tone "we don't have anything available it's busy and we have four appointments coming in soon" I was in shock because I could tell that she was being rude with her tone and she didn't even try to help accommodate us. It felt like she judged the way my boyfriend and I looked or something. He is a black and Hispanic male and I am a Hispanic female (Keep in mind we're in the west village). My partner was polite and didn't feed into her extreme rudeness. I was appalled by how she spoke to him and I couldn't leave without saying something. So after he agreed to leave I walked over to her and I said "do you have 2 massages available one male and one female"? At this point i'm not being picky about who's rubbing my feet. I just want to see if she can help us even if that means I have to let a man massage my feet ( no biggie) She replied to me in the same EXACT tone " we donot have anything available we're booked!!! After this I said oh ok I just wanted to tell you a word of advice, when you speak you should watch how you talk to people because you sound really rude and maybe you should work on that !! I left and went next door to all seasons beauty spa and within minutes we were seated upon walking in WITHOUT an appointment! No one looked at us in a weird way nor did we feel uncomfortable. The truth is if that girl is working the front I wouldn't return nor would I send my clients there. However I'd love it if the owner or manager speaks to her on how to treat people equally and speak in a more welcoming manner! I work in the Customer Service industry and have for many many years and 100%. I understand if they were fully booked, but the fact that she denied us service the moment we walked in and mostly it was how she spoke it was really really rude. She didn't even try to help or accommodate on top of her tone and looking at us the way that she did is what made me feel that she did not want to help. Im really disappointed because she was really rude!! read more

I can only assume these 5 star reviews are fake. I got the 90 minute full body massage and feel like there was no way my masseuse was licensed. She used the her knuckles to repeatedly grind directly on my spine for 5 minutes, the back of my pelvis is bruised because she seemed to be trying to work out a knot that was actually my bone. I asked 3 times for her to go gentler and was laughed at. I was clearly pulling away and she used her elbow and leverage to dig in deeper. She pulled down my underwear without consent even though i had purposely left them on. She stuck her fingers in my ears seemingly to plunge the wax out? I woke up multiple times in the night because my body was in so much pain, it hurts to sit up or lay down. My knee that I had surgery on 2 years ago is inflamed from her trying to dig her fingers under the kneecap. Absolutely atrocious. read more

Pros: - Stamp card (after 10 massages, get 1 free) - $39 for a full body massage with cash (with card, it's $49?) - Walls to separate the massages beds (they also have thick non-see through curtains - another massage place I went to had the thinnest curtains ever) - Couple rooms - They turn up the heat in the winter! - Good massages Cons: - Some inconsistent experiences. Been here a few times; had two good massages and one meh massage (the masseuse was very disorganized and inconsistent: what she did to one side of my body, she wouldn't do to the other) read more

Came here recently for a 1 hour foot massage and it was a great experience. I came in the middle of the day on my day off so it was extremely quiet and I was the only client in the main space for the majority of the time. You can't beat the pricing here, especially if you bring cash. Can't speak to the body massages yet but will definitely go back to get one soon. read more

Best massage for the price you will find! I left feeling refreshed and had a really wonderful couples massage experience with my partner. They did try to upsell us at the end of the 60 minutes to do the front (they only got the back done in that time but worth it), but would come back read more

absolutely awful experience. I don't think some of the staff is certified. painful and just bizarre massage experience where the woman just didn't know what she was doing. you're better off going to one of their competitors down the street read more

Incredible Full body 60 minute massage! All of the workers and masseuses are very respectful and professional. My massage was very good. I had so many knots in my back and they were eye able to take care of it! I am refreshed! Highly recommend!! read more

If you go here with a friend and wanna chat, the manager will quickly nip it and stop it. Place is very popular and best to have an appointment. $39 for an hour cash only read more

This place is definitely worth it. While the outside or inside might make you doubt the experience a little (a bit crammed, sheets as walls, etc.) this was one of the best massages I've ever gotten. My masseuse was so sweet and lovely and got the job done. At literal points she climbed on the massage table to put more pressure into the massage--which I thought was hilarious and resulted in SUCH a good massage. Queen was dedicated to her craft. I walked in on a Sunday morning with no appointment and didn't have to wait at all. Definitely going back! read more

I was in need of a relaxing day and was glad that Renew took me in last minute. Their special was $39 for a 1 hour massage which include body and foot with hot stone! I mean, you really can't beat that price for a quality massage! They do ask what your preference is for how gentle or firm you would like the massage! At one point, it was a bit rough but if you just tell him to be more gentle they will! Overall, a relaxing massage and I would do it again! read more

Had a great 1-hour foot reflexology session here this afternoon. I called at 11:15 and was able to be seen right at 11:30. When I arrived I was the only client there, which was nice! The place is relatively small but has a calm atmosphere with relaxing with spa music playing. It's definitely no frills, but every other reflexology place I've been to is similar. I was seated right away and given a fantastic full hour massage by a wonderful man (whose name I unfortunately didn't get) who was very thorough, massaging my feet, calves and shins. The pressure was strong but left me feeling refreshed. The total came to $29 (if you pay in cash) and I left an $11 tip, so $40 total. Not bad at all! I saw other reviews say there was an issue with noise here so I brought my headphones and put them in for the duration of my massage, which prevented the problem. The place is small so you'll definitely hear the staff talking to each other and moving around which might not be the most relaxing if you're hoping for silence. Can't wait to come back for the full body massage! read more

Great service. Fast. Affordable. Good massage. Never a long wait even if u forget to make a reservation.

This place is a gem in the neighborhood! I am aware of creepy lower cost massage parlors in big cities, but this isn't it. It's off 8th street in the village and you go up a flight of stairs to the studio. There's foot massages in front and body massages in the back. Staff is always friendly and the therapists are amazzzzzing!!!! Everyone I've gotten is fabulous. The prices you can't beat as well in the city. Pay cash as you will save vs credit card. Definitely recommend. read more

I loved this place for many years but today I had to ask the individual working on me to stop and I left. This is the second time a clearly inexperienced person was assigned to me and she was wearing so much jewelry she kept outwardly complaining and it was painful. It feels like there is no longer any quality control and when I told the lady upfront it was awful she just sort of giggled. I still tipped 25% because I have a heart but I can't in good faith keep coming back here and hoping I get a good person. Really disappointing. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. THE MASSAGE WAS TERRIBLE. Prior to starting out i asked them to focus on certain parts. I had to speak multiple times on where to focus. Also, when It came to digging out knots, the lady did little focus on getting in just rubbing back and forth. After everything I mentioned it to the manager he did nothing. I still tipped because i wanted to show that i wasn't trying to get over and still offered no compensation. I won't come here again, and don't recommend it. They do very little to fulfill customers requests. read more

Renew Body Wellness - Receipt for proof - Massage Near Me - New York, New York

I've been here quite a few times in the last few years and like it overall, though the quality of the massage depends a lot on the masseuse so it can be hit or miss. On the positive side, it's affordable, open late, and convenient in that you can drop by without an appointment and usually don't have to wait too long to get a massage. read more

FRONT DESK girl (working at midday on sunday) was extremely rude as soon as I walked in , and then proceeded to charge me $10 extra dollars than the advertised price when i was leaving. massage was ok and i tipped $13 to the women on an advertised $39 massage (for which i was charged $49). I wanted to hand the tip directly to my masseuse but the front desk girl tried to stop me. I told her that i wanted the masseuse to get the tip. I told her that the price was not as advertised after I paid and she walked after me out the door and slammed it behind me. what was supposed to be a nice relaxing hour ended up being very disappointing. read more

To be clear: this place gets a 5-star review for the actual massage -- what has left me unhappy and unwilling to return was the manager's behavior. It was my first time here/getting a massage and after I paid for the $45 massage I wanted to leave the actual masseuse a tip. And I wanted to make sure she got it. So I pull out a $5 and the manager, very rudely says "... uh, it's a $45 bill and you need to leave 20%. Have you never been to a massage before?" I felt shocked and then pulled out a $10 and handed it to him since he apparently wanted to collect it. Then I thought about it, and 20% of $45 is $9 ...which means for $4 he was rude and lost a customer that would have returned. He could have just thanked me and said next time it would be appreciated if the masseuse was given 20% and that they look forward to seeing me again. (Or something like that, that wouldn't have ruined a relationship with a customer.) The lady who did the massage was fantastic and I hope she gets the $10 tip. However, after the uncomfortable treatment from the gentleman in the front I do not want to go back. ---*** now addressing the manager's comment below: You don't have the right to tell someone how much to tip. Similarly, the person who said it was very rude and I will never ever come back to your business. Even your response was defensive and inadequate. You should probably take some time to put your staff through professional training. read more

Massage was great. Facilities are simple no frill n clean Not a spa. Just a simple massage They do want u to pay 20 pct tip , that they don't call out upfront, only at time of payment. If u know that going in...it's good value for money. read more

Some technicians are better than others.. I got a one hour bodywork yesterday and at one point I felt the technician's nail cutting my skin. I raised hand to ask for a pause but she didn't seem to see it or hear it? Light was dim and I couldn't see what's happening when I tried to look. I went home took pictures of my back and waist due to continuing burning pain and found the huge scratches and they are starting to swell up today, brilliant read more

Hi everyone. I try this massage place 2 times. It's really best for get refresh yours health. It's almost similar jump paragliding from mountain! Recommend for everyone, just try it 1 times, and you remember this experience forever read more

I rarely give reviews, but the experience today was really bad. The pressure was simply unbearable despite the fact that I asked multiple times to reduce it, but the therapist did not speak any English. I feel that he might have gotten what I was trying to say at some point, but after a minute or two he would go back to the old pressure and it was really uncomfortable. Then I would ask again to reduce the pressure, and then the same story over and over again. During the feet massage, I even moved my legs when it hurt too much but he would just continue pressing. I do massages quite often, and the technique was simply a new experience for me. A lot of strong pressure focusing on one point, and not even following my body reactions which were there since it really hurt! I am aware that this is one of affordable massage places in the city, but today's experience was such that I am not sure that the therapist knew what he was doing. I have never experienced a massage like this before. read more

I have been a regular client for the past 9 years, and it saddens me to have to write this review today. I tried to see if there was an email to voice my concerns but there was none in the website. I please ask the management to verify that your massage therapists are properly draping your clients. The actions of the therapist may have been unintentional, but coming from a therapist position myself, the situation would have made many women extremely uncomfortable. I had 2 hours today, 1 hour foot and 1 hour full body massage. The foot massage went great, however when I got to the full body, I had a very small towel to drape myself, no sheet. I was very fortunate to be wearing underwear, or I would have been completely exposed at certain moments. At one point my therapist completely removed the towel (during transition from upper to lower body), re-draping me, then tucked the small towel under my underwear from below which exposed my crotch, and spread my legs apart to start lower body work. Had I been nude, this action would have had me completely exposed. I considered that my therapist knew I had undergarments, however, regardless of how the client chooses to dress, they should never be exposed on this manner. The massage itself was quite rough, and very fast paced, not allowing my muscles to adjust to the deep work (which I generally love). At one point he did directly hit my privates, I hope accidently, but had I not worn any protection he would have made direct contact. There were other times during the massage I felt very uncomfortable (which is never the case for me), which included the massage techniques themselves, along with other events not mentioned in this review. Even if all these actions were unintentional, I please ask to verify your therapists practice proper draping protocols. It is never appropriate to expose your clients. Thank you read more

I had the best massage here it was phenomenal. Highly recommend. And was only $35 cash but remember to tip your masseuse well on top of that. read more

I would literally defend this place with my life. The massage therapists here are a group of hard-working people who have helped me through a lot of chronic shoulder pain. There are some negative reviews from folks who aren't familiar with traditional reflexology. But if you're expecting a "spa experience," go ahead and pay $200 at some hotel spa to get a pat down TSA could do for free. This place is for people who know. :) read more

The service is so nice and the massage was amazing! Truly a professional massage. I highly recommend going after a long day of work.

Stopped by for nice foot massage after a long day. My fiancé and I did the 1 hour foot massage and both of us were extremely glad we did. Best foot massage we have ever had and the price was excellent! If I'm ever in the area I will definitely come back! read more

I stopped in for a one-hour massage for my birthday today. A male massage therapist (I didn't get his name) gave me an absolutely fabulous massage. Renew offers massages that are deep-tissue and therapeutic, rather than necessarily feeling pleasant and relaxing in the moment but I always leave feeling like a new person. Today's was particularly exceptional. For the last few years, I have had a knot on the left side of my lower back that is big enough that I can physically palpate it through the skin. Doctors have told me I have a pinched nerve or slipped disk causing it, and a course of physical therapy failed to help. In just an hour at Renew, it's totally gone--I'm sure it will come back, but even temporary relief from that chronic aching pain is amazing. The prices are beyond reasonable. the environment may not be spa-like, but I've never had a problem with noise (on this weekday afternoon there was no sound pollution at all), and if I'm choosing between an upscale, spa-style massage that leaves me with deep knots still in my back and costs hundreds, or a less fancy venue and a massage that really relieves my pain, I'd pick Renew every time. read more

Got a foot and body massage here. Started out with a great foot massage in a chair but some how ended in a hallway for the body massage. Thought it was weird as people walking back and forward who can see me getting rubbed down. Initially asked if I wanted a chair or table for the body portion, but still got a chair in a hallway. When I asked for an explanation from the young male host, he provided me without any answer. Otherwise massage quality was ok. If it wasn't for the hallway situation would have been a 4 star rating, but given this reason I would not recommend or come back. read more

I did speak up. But I was so mortified by the kid rubbing my feet I had to get out of there. Instead of giving me advice on how to act, how about having only certified people of age massage People's feet. read more

Kevin was one of the best masseurs I've ever had. He has incredibly strong hands and he only had time to do a 30 minute session split between foot and chair massage but holy moly both were mind blowing. The actual chair for the chair massage was wierd for me - there is a bar that my face kept mushing into. Was glad I was wearing a mask. I think the seat should be raised for shorter guests. I'm 5'5'' so don't be afraid to say something if this happens to you too. All in all can't wait to return read more

I've been coming here once a week for about 4 years. Hands down the best foot massages in the West Village and the best chair set up. However, 3 stars because the last few months it's not as peaceful and tranquil as it used to be. There was a guy who running the place & scheduling and he ran a tight and QUIET ship. Unfortunately, while the new woman running the front is very nice she is quite loud and encourages conversation amongst the staff. So it's loud and disruptive these days. Ironically, they recently put up signs to the "Quiet Please". I hope they can go back to be a peaceful place because I do love the foot massages and service. read more
