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!

The facial was also scheduled for 50 minutes and she finished about ten minutes earlier, so I didn't her to have the full experience. She was friendly and polite though.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a Russian woman who will ask you to pick from a very limited color selection. They did not have any OPI Polish. An older Russian woman did my nails, while 'the manager' tried to sell me on other treatments. She tried to explain to me that Botox, chemical peels, and other enhancements would be in my best interest. I definitely did not like nor appreciate the vibe I got. Furthermore, for the pedicure you'll be soaking your feet in a giant plastic tub that does not look to be very sanitary. The manicure did not last more than 3 days.

After having been to spas all over the city for facials I am happy to commend madison spa (Irina) to be a great revelation. Here's what my first facial was like: The place is tucked in between streets on Madison Avenue. It's got nice treatment rooms. Irina (she did my facial) definitely knows what goes into keeping skin relaxed and happy. I went in with slightly blotchy skin and acne scars. She analysed my skin before making suggestions as to what kind of a facial was best suited for me. She was honest about my skin and how I could treat it better. Also not once during the two hour facial, did she push any product endorsement on me (big plus). Irina then proceeded to treat my skin for two hours (including treatment time for face packs). My facial included a mini micro derm, an oxygen facial and extractions. She was very thorough without pinching my skin. The best part about this facial was that the next day my skin was actually not red or more blotchy than usual. I received my fair share of compliments over the next few days as my skin looked rested and happy. I would love to go back there and see how this feels after 3-4 facials. Definitely recommend.

It felt kinda shady and I didn't feel very welcome. My girlfriend and I were showed our room and told that we would take turns learning to massage each other for an hour with a masseuse. We were excited to learn and ready for a new experience but, turns out, we didn't learn anything. Our instructor was very kind and surprisingly funny but the level of difficulty of the lesson was extremely low. He showed us the simplest hand movements and he even agreed that we could go on YouTube for everything these days. Plus, our masseuse kinda smelt bad. I truly don't mean to be rude but you would expect to be relaxed in a spa. Following our lesson, we were instructed to meet the woman at the counter. She immediately told us that we owed cash for tips/taxes. I told her that I only had $5 in cash but that I had a debit card. She responded, "I told you on the phone to bring enough cash". I quickly told her that she was mistaken and that I was informed only to call a day in advance to confirm my appointment. She rudely sighed, took my $5, and sarcastically asked us, "what am I supposed to do then? Tip him myself?". My girlfriend and I exchanges shocked glances and awkwardly left the spa. Should've trusted you yelpers ...

Rather, she conversed with me beforehand and then altered her techniques during the service while working with my body. When she came across areas that were particularly tight or problematic, she stayed there and worked it out. It's a noticeable difference from my past experiences! Shes very polite and professional. The location was convenient as well as comfortable.. Her office was serene and so was her touch!

During her massage, she focused on the areas I had told her were more problematic. She noticed I had a very stressed and tensed back and spent quite a while working out my difficult knots.

No problem. My appointment was for 1pm and I arrived at 12:15pm. I told her that I knew I was early but that I would wait. The lady that was sitting at the reception area told me that they would attend to me anyways. She then asked me for $3.98 for tax that was not included with my Groupon purchase. No problem. I'm not sure if the lady who answered the phone when I called was the same one who was there when I arrived but whatever. No biggie. She directed me to the room where my massage would be. The room was tiny and the walls were very thin. As I sat down to remove my sneakers I hit the wall by mistake and thought I felt the wall shake. Seriously. LOL A few minutes later the massage therapist/lady came in and she asked me what part of my body I would like her to focus on and I told her my neck and my shoulders. Unfortunately, she focused 90% of the entire massage there. It was okay but that's not what I paid for. The bed was off to one side of the room, against a wall so ever time she went to massage one side of my shoulder/back she slide the bed over to the other side. It felt weird. There was something underneath the bed because a few times she hit it by mistake with her foot. She then excused herself so that she can go get the hot stones. They were pretty hot but they did feel good. Throughout my massage I could hear someone's cell phone ringing (twice) and cleaning going on. All in all, it was worth what I paid but it wasn't very relaxing, very clean or very comfortable. However, the employees were nice and felt bad complaining so I just sucked it up and just figured that it could be worse. Good luck y'all.
