Brazilian wax for any nationality!!!

by kdime143

I am an African-American female and I have found a new place for a Brazilian wax. Val did a great job! She took her time and it was mostly painless...I couldn't believe it. My husband it still thanking her for doing such a wonderful job. I was so grateful for the warm and friendly environment. After leaving my old spa I've truly found somewhere a lot better at a reasonable price. See you guys soon!

• Pros: Minimal Pain
• Cons: None to date

CLEAR ADULT ACNE and GET A GREAT WAX

by SpaGal

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the commitment that Iza at Spa Ja has shown me with helping me clear my adult acne. My skin was truly bad and after trying numerous doctors and methods to clear my skin, I was at the point where I almost just wanted to give up. I began going to spa ja just for their fabulous waxing services and she noticed over time my face becoming worst and my demeanor changing. After a consulation, during which she explained everything she was able to do and how it worked, I began the cold light treatments.

I noticed results the first time and the results just kept getting better with each treatment. She was professional and fabulous to work with. I recommend her to anyone having trouble with adult acne or just for a great facial.

Val is great for facials and waxing as well and the whole staff is friendly and warm.

• Pros: IZA and VAL are the best
• Cons: none so far

Fabulous facials, brazilian wax and massages!

by missgnyc

Tucked away near Columbus Circle I was introduced to this fabulous day spa by my boyfriend. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, you're greeted with scented towels, hot berry tea and piles of fruits, nuts and organic cookies (always a huge bonus), and later led upstairs to have your treatment. Having tried many of NYC's I can honestly say that this one is very much worth the money and the entire experience is lovely. The therapists are lovely, in particular, Val gives the best oxygen facial I"ve ever had in the city and while its not 'giving it away', its really worth the spend as the glow lasts for about a week and you really notice the difference over a period of time. They use lots of natural and organic products and the caliber is much higher than many of Manhattan's other spas. Its worth the investment. Also, did I mention the brazilians?! Trust a brazilian to be fabulous at this - again, Val gave the best brazilian bikini wax I"ve ever had - again not the cheapest BUT it lasts people and its worth every penny as it lasts 2 times longer than other cheapy waxes at mediocre salons. I'd hugely recommend a visit.

• Pros: Val's oxygen facials are worth every penny

i love the stones!!!!

by nicole336

After a week of stress i decided to treat myself to a day of pure satisfaction!!!! it's like an oasis of pure bliss, the staff was great and very good at what they do best here. i felt pampered from the body scrub to the massage with the stones. i didn't want to leave when it was over. i wish i had extra funds to do this more often cause it sure relieves some serious tension and stress. i got a russian lady but i wish it was a muscular man instead!

• Pros: great 1 hr / no rush
• Cons: wish there were men doing the massage

I'm Going Back...

by missmia4

I can only speak for the service that I received there - the Brazilian mani/pedi - but I highly recommend this place. I'm no spa expert; this is the third spa I've been to and the first time I've felt so welcome and at ease. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Nina, who gave me a warm aromatherapy towel to place over my face and relax. She then introduced me to Jeane who handled my mani/pedi. As Jeane worked on my feet, another woman asked me if I would like the iced or hot tea. I had both and both were wonderful creations with fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries. She came back with a tray of fruit and brownies. I munched, read, and talked to Jeane as she exfoliated, massaged, and polished. They really took care of me! I think their prices are somewhat comparable to other spas, maybe a little more expensive, but I would gladly pay that premium for awesome service!

• Pros: service, quiet & private setting
• Cons: none yet

Service is brilliant and very attentive staff

by mvc2102

I'm a spa person and have been to many spas in NY, other states and outside the United States. I highly recommend Spa Ja. You get personal attention, excellent service and a very relaxing environment - one that you truly expect when you go to a spa. If you'd like to escape for a few hours or treat yourself, this is the place to go. Facials and massages are brilliant!

Best pedicure anywhere

by Marion79

Spa Ja brazilian pedicure is just perfect and all the staff very friendly...these guys (Valerio and Isa) are able to make your feet become as smooth as baby feet. And nothing in comon with current pedicure, where you are behind a window with a girl who do not really pay attention to your feet (and to you).

At Spa Ja, you will have your pedicure in a private beautyful black and red room, with their fabulous tea, pastries and fruits...

Schedule 45 min for this Brazilian Pedi, you won't regret the little 50$!

PS: also try their brazilian bikini waxing with Val, their massage and their facial (with Isa)

• Pros: the perfect decor, the quietness of the place, the staff
• Cons: none

Heaven, Healing and Wholeness in the Heart of NYC

by amd7

TREAT YOURSELF to an amazing treatment at Spa Ja's - The healing began upon entering the hallway and ascending into the tranquil space - every detail has been taken into consideration which added to my experience of well-being. I was greeted with warmth and welcomed, my coat and bags were carefully tucked away, then a luscious, organic, delicious, anti-oxidant packed fresh berry tea was placed in my hands as I was encouraged to snuggle in and relax.

Next, the treatments were clearly explained and I selected a custom massage package. I went upstairs and was inspired by the decor and attention to quality from the fresh, fluffy towels to the organic and holistic products to the soothing music to the state of the art massage tables and the cleanliness! The room was lovely, warm, and [did I mention] clean?! Yes. I felt safe and very comfortable.

My massage therapist had the hands and heart of an angel. Her technique was expert and her personal presence both comforting and light. The combination of meditative music and aromatherapy soothed my [very busy] mind and my skin drank up the moisture-packed massage cream as my therapist worked skillfully across the landscape of my knot-entangled back. I surrendered within moments and was transported to Heaven [my definition of Heaven per my Spa Ja experience: I forget who I am, all worry and pressure dissolve and is replaced by the most incredible joy of being present, alive, in the moment and the moment FEELS exquisite to every aspect of my being] as long term stress knots dissolved with care.

I did NOT want the session to end! So I booked another and gifted those I love to spread the joy and well-being and have been thanked everytime!

Go to Spa Ja's now. You'll feel like an ascended master afterwards and probably act like one too...and in NYC, that's a good karma. Thanks for your commitment to excellence - Spa Ja style!

Peace out - AMD
