    75 Nassau St, New York, NY 10280 (map)

    There is solace in the Financial District: Relax according to the principles of Chinese medicine during acupuncture, hot stone massages and herbal wraps. Before you leave, pick up some herbal supplements and teas from the front--they make this spa more closely resemble a health food store.

    95 Trinity Pl, New York, NY 10006 (map)

    The best way to lure a suit-wearing professional to a spa? Call it a "club"! Providing full service packages that have multiple staffers pandering to his (sorry ladies, men only) needs at one time--from a shave, to a trim and a drink--doesn't hurt, either.

  3. 3 2.5 Star Rating: Below Average Ann Nail Salon
    Read Reviews

    24 Maiden Ln, 2nd Fl, New York, NY 10038 (map)

    The Financial District may be full of financiers, but these days, even the rich appreciate a good deal. This salon attracts those looking for classic treatments--like manis, pedis and waxes--without any fuss.

  4. 4 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Olga's Salon & Spa: Financial District NYC
    Read Reviews

    2 Courtlandt St, New York, NY 10007 (map)

    The owner, Olga, is a 20-year veteran of the industry with a hands-on approach to running her business. She is often on the premises with the rest of her staff, working to provide traditional hair treatments and pamper visitors, too.

  5. 5 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Perfect Eyes, Eyebrow & Threading Salon
    Read Reviews

    93-97 Nassau St, New York, NY 10038 (map)

    Lower Manhattanites desire perfectly shaped arches above their eyes like any other. This casual spot isn't chic or trendy, but it's clean, and the threading specialists can trim brows quickly. Unibrows, beware.

  6. 6 4 Star Rating: Recommended Spa 88 & Health Club
    Read Reviews

    88 Fulton St, New York, NY 10038 (map)

    This traditional Russian bathhouse welcomes visitors of all ages to steam, soothe and maybe schmooze. Ancient treatments like back kneading with softened oak leaves are available, as is an Olympic size pool for dipping.
