  3. Complimentary cookies and juices were very nice, and overall a nice relaxing atmosphere.
  4. thought (for the amount he paid) that they would do a lot more than rub some nasty cream on you.

  62. Ok, I feel terrible for writing this, for having to write this, because the woman who did it was really very sweet and friendly, quite a delight, but she gave me the worst mani-pedi I've ever had.
  63. When I made the reservation, the staff sounded very friendly and they asked for me and my boyfriend's shoe sizes, so they could prepare slippers for us.

  68. The service was excellent, they really made us feel so special!

  1. The service is first-rate, the prices are reasonable and the people are very nice.
  2. Having a massage with Adam is the best investment of time and money that I can imagine.
  3. My facial and massage were good and relaxing, but not stellar, particularly considering the prices.
  4. They have a very nice balance of being luxurious without being stuffy, friendly without being fake and upscale without being expensive.
  5. An amazing experience and value!
  6. There certainly are spas that are more expensive.
  7. My skin looked amazing and the prices are totally reasonable.
  8. wasn't sure which facial to get, so I asked her opinion, and she was very careful to recommend some facials and also let me know about prices.
  9. They have a very nice facility and their prices seem competitive.
  10. The massage was expensive, though I felt the price was worth it given the quality.
  11. I'd recommend it if money is no object, just for the lovely staff, but there are more reasonable spas in the area with much better service.
  12. Wish I can afford the prices to go on a regular visit but will have to do this on a more bi monthly as i love my shoes!
  13. The prices are great too.
  14. can't tell you how stressed I was trying to find a quality spa for a reasonable price!
  15. Nice decor, good massage, overpriced manicure / pedicure
  16. There are other spas in the area, like Finesse Day Spa, that may not be as well decorated, but have better service for a more reasonable price.
  17. you either get the over-the-top holistic approach, the now-serving-number-89 spa factory (which just isn't very blissful), or in a guy's case, the dirty run down certain spa on 14th street that bill's itself as high end but is about as relaxing as listeni
  18. Excellent service at a reasonable price
  19. The staff are also so welcoming and polite and they know just how to treat a client whether for a huge package or a simple eyebrow wax.
  20. Their prices are also very reasonable, and definitely worth it!

  22. And for a man whom has been named Mr. Clearance by my wife, I must say this was a great value.
  23. And their prices are very reasonable for the level of service you get.
  24. think the prices of all their treatments are very good and am definitely looking forward to going back after I have my baby!
  25. I've gone to other spas (some that charge much more) and I'm convinced that dollar-for-dollar, Ohm is the best in the city.
  26. I've been to other spas that seem more concerned with milking you for as much money as possible than providing the best service.
  27. a small price to pay for the best damn massage this side of Thailand.
  28. The prices are up there, but I think it's worth it just to know that you're always going to be getting one of the best spa experiences.
  29. She didn't push any of the expensive products on me.
  30. The price was reasonable, the atmosphere low key and relaxing.

  3. The people here were very friendly, but my facial started 45 minutes late and there was barely an apology.
  4. had a few minutes to relax in between facial & massage which was nice.
  5. After having to deal with rude and obnoxious people all week long, it was a godsend to go to Ohm and be around such nice people who actually take care of you.
  6. waited for 5 minutes and was taken to the treaetment room with two big flat screen TVs.
  7. My wonderful masseuse, Nicole, took a few minutes at the beginning of the session to find out what I was looking for (medium to firm pressure focusing on my neck and shoulders) and then proceeded to work her magic.
  8. had a good massage and facial and enjoyed every minute of it!
  9. The staff made me feel like a long-lost friend and the services were really wonderful.

Go now, today, this very moment

by MichelleP23

I've been going to Ohm Spa since 2007, after reading great reviews in Citysearch. They've continued to deliver since then because I'm still a very, very happy customer.

Before going here, I consistently got facials yet broke out all the time. I always had to wear makeup. I was that girl who would wake up early to dab on concealer before my boyfriend woke up. After seeing Brita here, my skin is so healthy that I don't need makeup. It's better now than it was in my 20's and as a teen. In fact, when I say to my friends that I'm going to get a facial, they say that I don't need one because my skin is so clear. Exactly, thanks to my regular facials here! And I always have a ball in my sessions with Brita.

And the massages are genius -- I've gone on various days and have seen Nicole, Dara and Allie. All have magic hands, and helped my achy deskbound stressed-out body feel lighter and relaxed. And they've all taken the time afterwards to show me stretches and to give me tips on staying limber and relaxed. You can tell they genuinely care about your wellbeing.

The owners Jonathan and Kathy did a great job hiring positive, talented people and creating an intimate and friendly space. If you're new to spas, you'll feel welcome and not intimidated at all.

I rarely write reviews and usually refer by word of mouth, but it hit me that without reading a review, I may not have found Ohm Spa. I've lived in worked in Manhattan for 15 years now, have gone to many spas in the past, but stopped looking around when I found this place. It's a very special place, and if you're looking for a spa, go here. Now. Stop reading, and go!!

Amazing spa day!

by rachnicel86

My boyfriend brought me there to celebrate our anniversary and it was totally magical. The people there are really sweet and make you feel at ease from the moment you walk in. Had the hot stone massage, the honey facial, mani and pedi and it was heaven. Will definitely go back again and bring a friend!

Down to Earth, Elegant, Wonderful Staff

by Amaras Momma

I'm not a picky person in general, but I am a tough sell on a spa as I was a massage therapist for 10 yrs. Ohm Spa is truly wonderful. It is tranquil but not pretentious, and everyone from front desk to the therapists to the spa director were down to earth and a pleasure. I got a massage from Jess and facial from Laurie--both were amazing. They were talented, well-trained, and really listened to what I was looking for. I went with a friend and we relaxed in the lounge afterwards, really enjoyed the atmosphere. I left feeling like a whole new person.
