Ohm Spa

I have been getting waxed for the last 4 years and the wax i got from OHM located at 260 5th ave NY was the best by far. Whatever they use as products and their technique used by Ada my skin looked perfect. Virtually no pain compared to all the other waxes i have got and the best result. If you ever need any waxing done you should try this place because its the best in the world i have found. Thanks again OHM. Dean from Australia.

Pros: Best experience ever

Cons: there are none

If only I knew about Ohm when I first started going to spas! My friends all know that I love getting pampered so they always get me gift cards for my birthday and for Christmas, so I’ve been to lots of them around the city – some good, some ok, some just plain awful. This year I got a gift card to Ohm and that’s it, I’m done! From now on, this is the place I’ll be asking for each year. Everyone who works there is so nice, so down-to-earth and so cheerful. I really felt as though I was among long lost friends. It’s not the biggest spa and it doesn’t have all the amenities like a sauna, steam room or jacuzzi but that’s a small price to pay for the best damn massage this side of Thailand. It’s the spa equivalent of one of those small, out-of-the-way restaurants that people fight to get in to because the food is so good. For me, it’s the first spa that I would actually go to with my own money instead of waiting to get a gift card. And as all my friends know, that’s saying a lot.

Pros: amazing massage, nice employees, attention to detail

My mom and I visited Ohm and spent the afternoon getting massages, manicures and pedicures. We had a wonderful time and left feeling like we couldn't wait to go back. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and they gave us just the right amount of personal attention. Not so much that we felt crowded, but not so little that we felt ignored. I came out of my massage feeling looser than I had been in years and my mom said it was the best massage she ever had. My nail service was very thorough and left my skin feeling baby-soft. My mom said her manicure lasted over 2 weeks! Overall, this place scored big points with us. The service is first-rate, the prices are reasonable and the people are very nice. The only downside is that they don't have showers and the wait to get an appointment can be long. I reserved almost 2-months in advance, which seemed outrageous at the time but after going there, I can understand why.

Pros: atmosphere, massage, personal attention

Cons: no showers, long wait to get an appointment

For starters -parking was rather difficult. I received a spa package for my birthday which included a couples massage, a spa manicure and pedicure. Honestly, the massage was okay though it seemed rather rushed. The spa pedicure was horrible! I thought (for the amount he paid) that they would do a lot more than rub some nasty cream on you. Other than that, the pedicure was like ANY noprmal pedicure you have received anywhere else. The place was crowded (NO PRIVACY AT ALL), loud and obnoxious! As for the manicure...they did not do acrylic or any type of silk wrapping on your nails. The job was sloppy and two people did my manicure. One lady argued to the other manicurest to finish my manicure which I found to be rather rude. I kept my mouth shut, said thank you and walked right out that door. I will never go there again, nor do I recommend it to anyone!

Pros: The receptionists were nice

Cons: No privacy, mani-pedi people were rude, small changing room

From the moment I walked into Ohm, I felt very pampered...from the warm, friendly greeting to the right-sized robe and slippers (they had asked me for my shoe size in advance), to the relaxing lounge area...and then came the best massage I've ever had! I usually go for either European or warm stone massages, but this time decided to go for Ohm's custom massage at the recommendation of the receptionist I spoke with when I first called - and boy, was it custom!! 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...soothing aromatherapy, deep tissue for the really bad spots, hot towels and finally peppermint oil. I was tingling for hours afterwards!! To top it all off, she even gave me some tips to avoid stiffness and soreness on an ongoing basis (epsom salt baths, increased water intake, heat pads on my shoulders for 10 to 15 minutes followed by neck stretches). After the heavenly massage, I was treated to a wonderful mani-pedi combo by Jojo...the sweetest nail tech you'll ever meet. While giving me a foot massage, she even gave me some health tips based on her reflexology knowledge...plus I got to watch "Becoming Jane" - a total chick flick if ever there was one & I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's been several days and my manicure is still perfect & I really liked the fact that Jojo wrapped my feet prior to me putting socks and winter boots on, so that the pedicure wouldn't get ruined...which it didn't. I'm headed back for a honey facial next week & hopefully Nicole can fit me in again for another custom massage right after...HIGHLY recommend this place!!!

Pros: Exceptional customer service

Cons: No showers

a self proclaimed spa-aholic, i've been to my share of spas but Ohm spa is hands down the best spa ever. Kathy, the owner, is always very friendly and warm and makes you feel very comfortable from the moment you walk in. I sit in an office chair for 15 hrs a day so I get very knotted in my shoulders but the massages I recieve there are amazing and always feel light on my feet afterwards. I have yet to get a facial but I always hear great things. It's always a stand by place for gift certs for all those bridal showers and bday gifts and all my friends rave about the service. I highly recommend this place!

Pros: great atmosphere, service, massage

Cons: none

Once again, Ohm Spa does not disappoint. I have not been to the Spa in almost a year; however, they remembered me with my just walking into the door yesterday on 01/17/08. Everyone at the facility is so genuinely warm. Paula greeted me with a hug and was extremely pleasant as the first time. I had a manuka honey facial again and absolutely loved it. Paula uses a mixture of soothing tone of voice, quiet music, aromatherapy, and amazing hands to completely relax you. Even the extractions are not bad because you are soooo relaxed. Although the price may seem high when you look at it, the amount of service you receive is well worth that price. I had a facial from one other place, and I can honestly say that there is truly no comparison. Give this play a try. Trust me. You'll be hooked.

I've had a hard time finding a good spa in NY since moving here from LA 6 months ago, but I'm done looking after going to Ohm. So far I've had 2 massages, a manicure and a pedicure and all were top notch. I even brought my boyfriend who is a massage fanatic and now he's hooked too. Best of all, they're not as expensive as some other spas for the quality of service you get. Next time I'll try their facials but the wait is seriously long so call in advance. The only downside is they don't have showers or a large changing area but I don't mind showering at home anyway. Overall, a great find.

Pros: Personal attention, nice decor, good value

Cons: Small locker room, long wait to get an appointment

I have had a manicure and pedicure at Ohm, as well as a massage. It was the most unbelievable experience ever! The attention to detail was extraordinary. From having the correct sized slippers and robe waiting for me to the amazing decor and refreshments, nothing is overlooked. My therapist spoke English and was just incredible. I felt like a noodle when I came out! Golden hands. I would highly recommend Ohm!

Pros: Everything!!!!!!!!!!!

Cons: none!

I decided to book my 60 minute at Ohm Spa due to the many great reviews on Citysearch. I have to say that I was disappointed. I asked for medium pressure. This did not happen, but more what seemed like light rubbing. Before the massage, I noted that my neck and back are the places where I tend to hold the most stress and tension. For some reason, my massage therapist spent a great deal of time on my feet. She was not massaging them, but just gently cupping them for long periods of time. It was very strange. I was also distracted during my massage as the walls were very thin between rooms and I could hear other people walking and talking. I think a white noise machine would have helped. The small changing area and single bathroom was not that relaxing along with the cramped waiting room. I will not go back or refer any of my friends.

Pros: Clean Salon, Fairly nice staff

Cons: Cramped Spa Area, No Showers, Noise level during massage, Too much time spent holding feet and not massaging them
