Great sports massage!

by mgrunsNY

I found this place while I was training for the marathon. I had been going to another spa but heard about Ohm so decided to give them a try. The massages at Ohm are head and shoulders above the other place. My therapist was very well trained and I could tell within the first 2 minutes that she was an expert. Went back a couple of times leading up to the race. Each time, it was fantastic. Make sure you book in advance. I haven't been able to get a same-day appointment but your luck my be different.

• Pros: thorough massage, clean, unpretentious
• Cons: need to book in advance

Excellent Surprise!

by mkslr

My family knows I'm a spa junkie so they got me a gift card for my birthday. Finally got around to using it after about six months and it was awesome! I asked for deep tissue and actually had to ask the massage therapist to ease up because she was applying too much pressure (how often does that happen?). I'm petite, so usually when I go for a massage, they go way too light because they're afraid of hurting me. I really appreciated that this place actually took my feedback into account when I booked for deep tissue. Thumbs up!

• Pros: Great massage, friendly atmosphere

My number 1 spa!!!

by jnt1103

I've had multiple massages and facials here and every single time has been amazing. I feel so clean and relaxed whenever I come out. The place is sooo clean and peaceful. I think all the snacks and the refreshing drinks in the waiting room are a great touch. it really gives you that extra feel that you're getting the best of everything. The products that they use smell wonderful and feel wonderful. 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. 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. I don't go too often (once every 3-4 months) so it makes sense that when I do, that it's the best.

• Pros: amazing massages, facials, and great staff
• Cons: price (but hey, you get what you pay for!)

Great Experience!

Had such a wonderful, relaxing couples massage here. My boyfriend was a first-time massage receiver and he was soo pleased. Kathy and her team were marvelous, and we will definitely be back.

Great, great massage

by NYCCPA

Went with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. We both agreed it was the best massage we've ever had. Even though it was quite busy when we arrived, the receptionist was very friendly and accommodated us very quickly. The decor is comfortable and modern - nice but not over-the-top. It's not a very large spa - they have lockers but not a true "locker room." No showers either but I didn't find that to be a problem. My massage was very thorough. Even though the hour went by quickly, when I got up off the table and walked around, my body felt better than after any other massage I had before. Best of all, they are very good about accepting gift cards. I've been to other spas that give you a hard time when you use a gift card (restrictions, inferior service, bad attitude, etc) but at Ohm, they couldn't have been nicer. We would go back tomorrow if we could.

Way over-rated

by anjelik32

I received a spa package to Ohm for Christmas from my boyfriend (he got this because of all the great reviews and because I said I didn't like the seaweed body wrap at Oasis Day Spa). The changing area was a closet (literally) and the over-all space did not have a spa atmosphere (I've been to my fair share of luxury spas). My manicure/pedicure was very relaxing (standard - nothing special though).. I zoned out and watched a movie for 2 hours. My facial was mediocre; there was no upper body massage or anything else I've had at other spas Also, the girl [though a very nice person] wouldn't stop talking to me and I had a hard time relaxing. I didn't want to be rude, but to be honest who really wants to talk while they are getting a facial? And lastly, my massage was probably one of the worst I've ever gotten. I told the girl on 3 different occasions that I'd like her to focus on my back and shoulders - once in the beginning, once when I sensed she was about to flip me over (when she then asked if I wanted the session to be all about my back and I said, "yes 95%") and then once more when I was already on my back (hoping she would get the hint and flip me back over), but instead she proceeded to try and massage me in an awkward position while on my back. The walls were also super thin and I could hear people giggling in the next room. This is the first time I've never fallen asleep during a massage. I've NEVER wanted a massage to be finished in my life, until yesterday. I have had much better massages at Kneaded Body Works and Oasis Day Spa.

• Pros: Great pedicure chairs
• Cons: Staff seems inexperienced (facial/massage) - agressive about tipping when not deserved.

Response from this business

We're so sorry you were disappointed with your service. As much as we strive for 100% satisfaction, we occasionally encounter a client that despite our best efforts, we fail to win over. Be assured that all of our therapists have years of experience. In fact, your massage therapist has 9+years of experience and is actually an instructor at the best-known massage school in the tri-state area. Nonetheless, over the years we have seen that finding the "right" match between a client and therapist is a highly personal and subjective process that depends largely on the wide spectrum of client preferences. In other words, the best massage therapist for one client might not be the best match for another. We get this process right more often than not, as our large base of repeat-guests will attest, but we are still saddened when we don't meet the full expectations of any client. We thank you for your feedback and wish you the best with whomever the "best" therapist is for you.

Amazing massage, a great find!

by UWSmomof4

I have to admit I'd never heard of Ohm Spa so when I received a gift card for Christmas I really didn't know what to expect. I was very pleasantly surprised and I would definitely recommend them wholeheartedly. When I got there I was greeted very warmly and presented with a robe and slippers. Their changing room is small but private. After filling out a form, they showed me to their lounge which was quite beautiful - I was relaxed already! Shortly thereafter a very nice lady (Jess) introduced herself and brought me into her room. Let me tell you she is amazing! I was in a semi-dream-like state the entire time and probably could have stayed on that table for another hour if they let me. It was so good I almost felt guilty for enjoying it so much. It was really hard to leave and go back into the cold but I know I'll be going back.

• Pros: massage, private changing room, nice lounge
• Cons: small changing room

I felt like a new woman!

by rjmiles

My boyfriend surprised me with a full day package at Ohm and I was so pampered I didn't want to leave! Even before I knew what was going on, they wished me a happy birthday which was so nice because I didn't even have to say anything. I had the deep-tissue massage which was incredible, then the facial which left my skin silky smooth and the pedicure and manicure which was the best I've ever had. It was the most amazing birthday present especially since I've been so stressed out lately with work, family, etc. Guys, if you ever want a special gift for your special someone, this is the place to go!

• Pros: relaxation, service, atmosphere
• Cons: none

Average

by spaking

I didn't like the aggresiveness with the tip. The receptionist was way too pushy with the tip. Made me very uncomfortable and I probably wont visit this place again
