What People Are Saying About Great Jones Spa

The Owner

Great Jones Spa

Owner

o\tWith the power to purify, balance, & transcend, water therapies have found expression in nearly every culture throughout history. At Great Jones Spa, we believe that the restorative power of water can change your life. This is why we built our one of a kind, world-renowned wet lounge facility.

There is nothing like the Great Jones Spa anywhere in New York City - we strongly encourage our clients to use the facilities when they come in for any kind of treatment. If you can't get out of town, a simple afternoon in our wet lounge can dissolve your stress faster than a week-long vacation. The beautiful wet lounge is centered around a 3-story indoor waterfall, overlooking our thermal hot tub & cold plunge pool. Just steps away, you'll find our River Rock Sauna, Chakra Steam Room, & a lounge area for clients to relax.

Come visit the Great Jones Spa and take a day to take care of you.

Forget "express"--the valued concept at this holistic spa is "decompress" and the magnificent wet lounge (including a three-story waterfall solarium) is free with most sessions. Soak up health and wellness through its water cures--a thermal hot tub, cold plunge pool, river rock sauna, and otherworldly Chakra steam room that harmonizes with color-cycling lights. The Eastern-leaning treatments align with the five natural elements and use only plant- and marine-based products.

Editor's Tips

Sauna Room:
Wet lounge access (two hours before and one hour following your session) is included with the purchase of a treatment $100 or more.
Couples Massage:
Impress with a duet room or the private elevator-access VIP suite.
On the Menu:
Hard-to-find treatments like Russian platza (body brushing with oak leaves), thalassotherapy (mineral-enriched and massaging hydrotherapy tub), colonic irrigation and ear candling are offered by special appointment. Allergic to iodine? Request an iodine-sensitive treatment.

Gregg for Hair at Great Jones Spa

by Beth K

I have been going to Gregg Tusler for years now for my hair. Gregg is incredible. He is a perfectionist and takes his time to make sure your hair is exactly as it should be and how you want it. He doesn't go too far or recommend treatments that you shouldn't have, but he still has a great flair for style and the current looks. I recently moved away from New York, and I will be visiting New York about every 8 weeks, give or take... If you book Gregg, you won't be disappointed, but be prepared to get hooked!

Great Hair Color & Style

by ebweis

At the top of the stairs at The Great Jones Spa is one of the hidden treasure in NYC...Gregg the hair stylist. I schedule my trips to NYC so that I can go to Gregg for a color and cut. And I live in Salt Lake City! Besides being a true hair artist, Gregg is a wonderful person whom I thoroughly enjoy. He makes my hair appointment an occasion I eagerly anticipate.

Best Hidden Treasure In The Middle of NYC!

by Volley13

This spa is AMAZING!!! When I first entered the spa, the customer service was fantastic. I was warmly greeted and signed in for my service. I got a full tour of the facility since it was my first time there and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The best thing is that this place has a wonderful water oasis that includes, a large hot tub, sauna and relaxing chairs - right in the middle of Manhattan. We spent the entire day at Great Jones so we also ended up enjoying some tasty food at their juice bar. The menu there is really big for a spa and the food was really good. I enjoyed a fresh fruit smoothly (made right in front of me) as well as a yogurt cup with fresh organic fruit and granola. The wraps, salads and sandwiches looked really yummy and lots of people were ordering them and saying that they were great. The locker rooms were clean and the massage I got was great. I will definitely continue to go here - it's a great hidden treat in the middle of NYC. It's now on our MUST GO TO LIST every time we travel to New York. I also think it says alot when alot of locals go to a business - shows great brand loyalty, which this place has.

Do NOT waste your time on $104.50 Cookies!

by DMC1372

Wanting some relaxing time in a sauna, my fiance and I went to the Great Jones Spa which is local to our home.

At first we were loving the place. The decor is nice and the set up is great.

20 minutes into our time there, I left the sauna and passed a table of food. On the table there was a bunch of different things and cookies. I could not help myself. I took a cookie and went back into the sauna. Passing two employees and telling them that the cookie was good.

20 more minutes pass and I leave the sauna, on the way back in I see the cookies and take not one, but two cookies. An employee standing nearby asks me not to touch them and at this time I notice a sign saying happy birthday dorene. So I drop the cookies, he asks me to toss them out, so I do.Then head back into the sauna.

A few minute pass and I leave the room again, passing the guy now guarding the cookies and I say dont worry I am not touching your cookies, half joking. He proceeds to tell me that he has spoke to the other staff and knows that I am stealing cookies. This conversation goes back and forth for a few minutes of him acusing me of stealing these cookies.

I leave the floor and head back up to the front desk. Explain the them what is happening. They pull him aside and he now flat out lies that I stealing cookies!

So now I have spent 104.50 for 3 hours at the spa and he thinks I am stealing cookies!!!

I packed up and left. Called the Visa card and put a block on the charge.

There was no mention from the manager or any attempt to be gracious about the incident.

Way to many places like this that are staffed by more gracious people for me to waste a dime on this place. Shows you how your staff choice can really change the place you visit.

Horrible Customer Service

by Achan

Booked an appointment 3 weeks ago with a specific masseuse, showed up today to find out they canceled my appointment the day before because they called another customer to confirm my appointment. If this is the first time it happened I would excuse it but it's the second time they have canceled on me without notifying me and also had problems another time when I specifically requested for a female masseuse to find that they booked with with a male masseuse. I have also received gift certificate for their spa and the only way they can find that certificate on their system is if you reference the purchaser's name, not the recipient so basically, you can't have it linked to your account.

Then one time I was there, people actually got out of the hot tub because there was some pinkish thing floating around, so how clean is it there really!!!

I don't know if it's their stupid staff or their stupid computer system but either way, if they don't upgrade to better service, they will just keep pissing people off.
