The Scene – There's no product line on sale in this light, airy space, just several heated and padded massage tables lined up in a cozy room and separated by curtains. Guys especially will appreciate the clinical but serene atmosphere created by the friendly and professional staff; rather than aromatherapy or obscure treatments, Graceful Services focuses on the basics of massage. – – The Services – Unlike massages that last little longer than a whiff of aromatic essential oils, you'll feel the deep tissue workouts here for days. The philosophy behind the treatment is…

Great Massages!

I recently moved to California and I will definitely miss going to graceful services for my monthly massages. It's a small and peaceful environment with good prices!

great hot stone massage

by dpw215

I showed up for my massage in a terrible mood and the receptionist made me wait. But all of that was forgotten 10 minutes into my hot stone massage. The therapist was very solicitous, asking if things were ok. She was able to go quite hard without triggering any of my nerve points, so it was very enjoyable. It was only an hour, but it felt like much longer. It is not the most basic place I've been - but it is no-frills - no relaxation room or nice reception area. There is a sauna, but it is quite small.

Amazing massage

by ss84

I've had massages all over and this is definitely one of the best ones I've had. The massage therapist took out all my knots and tension and I felt totally renewed after! They get you from your ears to your toes, literally...felt great all over.

BEST MASSAGE EVER!!!

by SoreNoMore

I just can't understand the negative reviews. Every time I've gone to Graceful Services I have been so pleased with the results. What they do best is not give you a frilly, gentle, pampering massage. Their talents lie in giving therapeutic massage, which eases out stiffness and tension and muscle tightness and pain. I have suffered from chronic shoulder pain, and travel-induced lower back and hip pain. I have tried chiropractors and physical therapists and have done yoga. But, when I am in NYC, I have found Graceful Services to be the best. You do have to make sure your therapist understands what kind of pressure you like. My last therapist, Maggie, started my session with a firm touch, but I asked her to increase the pressure, and then asked her specifically to work out my tight hip and buttocks muscles, because I hadn't been able to walk or even sleep without pain and stiffness. After that massage, I felt like a new woman. I felt like my body had been loosened up, and when I walked away from there, I felt like walking was effortless. I hadn't felt like that in a long time. It was amazing. And, the results stayed with me for almost two weeks. Actually, my buttocks muscles still have not returned to that state, and it's been even longer. Really a HUGE difference! I was happy, and I didn't have to take Advil every day anymore.

Some people may not realize that if you do request a good, hard massage like the ones I do, you may feel a bit sore for a day or two. And, if it gets uncomfortable during the massage, let your therapist know.

Thank you, Graceful Services!! You are the best!
