ease NY

I had such a great experience here, and am already looking forward to visiting again in a few months!
My boyfriend gave me a gift certificate for a 50 mins master therapy massage so I scheduled accordingly with no problems. The place itself is very unassuming as it’s tucked away on the second floor of a building with scaffolding — honestly impossible to know about this place without Unilocal.Once you go inside, however, it felt like I was already in zen mode. The front desk staff were so accommodating — I was told to fill out a questionnaire about any problem areas, my exercise levels, my desired pressure, etc. As soon as I gave it in, my masseuse came and introduced herself to me and asked if there was anything I wanted her to focus on, all of which I specified.
The massage itself — oh my god, it was amazing! I really don’t treat myself with massages, so I felt like a brand new woman afterwards. Granted, my masseuse was a little too intense with the pressure at times, but it was quickly resolved because I let her know to ease up on the pressure and she also checked in periodically to make sure I was comfortable. I just wanted a full body massage, and she really paid attention to every part of my body — such a rejuvenating experience! The 50 minutes really flew by!
After I changed back, I was given a cup of warm water with a drop of some type of relaxation serum, and then my masseuse consulted me about the problem areas she encountered during the massage and how to fix it. From beginning to end, the staff was incredibly gracious and really made me feel welcome. I will definitely be back!

This was my first time getting a massage and it was magical! From the moment I stepped into the place, I felt calm. I said hello to the receptionist and told her that I had an appointment. The receptionist greeted me with a huge smile and gave me some forms to fill out. While I was filling them out, she placed a cup of water on the table in front of me. After i was done, I was asked to wait for the masseuse.
When the masseuse approached me, she greeted me, looked over the forms in front of me and asked if there were any areas that I wanted to avoid being massaged. After I told her, she nodded her head and led me to a dimly lit room. She left the room to give me some time to take off my clothes and slip under the clean, white blanket on the massage table. The massage had not started yet but I was already feeling like I was on a fluffy cloud in the sky. After a few minutes, the masseuse came back in and turned on a CD or something that had natural sounds. She then began to rub oil on her hands and started the most relaxing journey of my life.
During the massage, the masseuse asked me twice if the pressure was good. She also made sure to avoid the areas that I didn’t want massaged. There wasn’t a lot of talking involved which was great, too, because I really needed some peace and quiet from the stress that I’ve been going through. The only downside of the rooms was that I could hear what the other people were saying in the room next to mine but they didn’t talk very much.
By the last 10 or so minutes of the massage, I was so relaxed that I had fallen asleep! The masseuse gave me a gentle nudge and asked me to wait outside. I got dressed and went back to the waiting area where I was again approached by a different receptionist with the payment information, a little envelope to put tips in and a cup of water that had a pleasant taste to it. I also received a little rewards card where I could receive a discount after a certain amount of visits. After the payment, the masseuse came out and assured me that I had some tension in my back but I should be okay as long as I drank extra water that day and did some light exercises and stretching.
Everyone here was genuinely smiling and I think it’s something unique to this place from my experiences. Great customer service and wonderful attention makes this an awesome place to relax! The other great thing is that the masseuse started and ended my appointment on time.
This was a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to try their other massages. The massage was a little pricey but I’m hoping to come back here when I need another one!

Had a couples massage here today. Good atmosphere, very friendly and professional staff, good massage. They make sure to ask several times during a massage if the pressure is what you want it to be, which is nice. The scented sheet over the face was a fun detail, and it’s not scented too strongly or anything.

Very nice service. And best of all, you don’t have to talk during the session like they do at some other places. Remember to bring cash for tips!

I finally outgrew my cheap Chinatown massages in dim, crowded rooms. Decided to upgrade to Ease. As everyone else noted, the staff have true Japanese manners, professionalism, and attention to detail. The room itself has a calming ocean track, and the scents are subtle. Tipping is cash only and slipped into an envelope at the end. And the best part is that prices are very reasonable and not reflective of the spa ambiance and the high quality of service received.

We booked the couples junior session. Very relaxing, the masseuses are very polite and professional. I had very sore muscles after working out and lifting weights, so they focused on my problem areas, and made me feel much better. I totally recommend ease NY and we will definitely come back!

Love this place. Boyfriend took me for a couples massage and it was great. I had Mickey, a junior massage therapist, and she was great. They check in to make sure the pressure is okay, how you are feeling, and give you tea afterwards. They are very considerate and sweet people and prices are reasonable. Will definitely be going back!

Found myself in NYC with a delayed flight and decided on a massage. Glad I did because this place is amazing! Located on the second floor of a building, you walk into a quaint, peaceful place with a friendly gentleman to greet you. The lobby is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Shortly after doing my paperwork I was lead to a small massage room. I have to say– this was one of the best massages I have ever received. She checked on me a few times, the room was peaceful and the massage was thorough. Both the lobby and massage room were very clean. The staff was super friendly. The price point was also perfect– $ 70 for a 50 minute massage and I got my full 50 minutes! We were also informed before arriving that tip is cash only, which was great because we were sure to have cash on us. I’m thankful my flight was delayed because if it wasn’t, I wouldn’t have found this gem. All future trips to NYC will include a trip to Ease!

Just had a 50 minute Swedish massage here with my girlfriend and we both loved it! The masseurs were meticulous with their technique and they made sure the pressure was okay by asking us several times throughout the massage. The place is clean and the music of waves crashing was soothing. The served us water with some stress relieving additive at the end. Lastly, they informed us on where we had the most tension and how to relieve it on our own. Will definitely come here again.

Royalty treatment by highly professional masseurs! The staff are very polite and meticulous in their techniques. I absolutely love the way I was treated at this place! :)
This is the BEST massage I’ve ever had in my life. First, they have you fill out a form to let them know which part of your body do you feel most tense and need most attention. Then you can choose the amount of pressure you like from scale of 1 – 10. They also constantly made sure the pressure they are applying are comfortable by asking me if the pressure was fine during the massage.
In the room, you listen to the sound of soft waves and you have linen doused with aroma therapy oil as the masseur massages your body and your head.
I just fell asleep and didn’t know to wake up until I was woken up. My face was covered slightly with a thin linen that has aroma therapy oil smell– so heavenly!
After your massage, they tell you what they found out from your body while massaging you — my masseur said my body is very tired and the muscles are very tense; which is very true because I work a lot.
Lastly, they serve you 2 cups of warm water in beautiful cups with some drops of relaxing essence to remove stress.
What a royalty treatment! Totally love it!

I’ve been here twice and both times have been amazing. The staff here is so so kind. And the massages are so good – tough yet tender. And I love how they use heat pads to loosen up your muscles – once they had me lay on them so my shoulders and back heated up while they worked on my legs and another time they placed them at my lower back and glute area while they massaged my back.
I’ve had both the ease therapy senior (80 min) and relaxation junior (50 min with aroma). Obviously the 80 minute senior session was out of this world. There’s just so much attention to detail, they even have special props to angle your legs so they can get all the muscles and knots. I walked out of the senior session feeling like melted chocolate. Every single muscle felt loved and soothed. The junior session was great too, but not as deep, just pleasant and relaxing. I love how after your treatment they serve hot water with Rescue Remedy flower essences, it really makes me feel cared for.

I really wanted love this place. But maybe it was just the prenatal massage they don’t know how to do. I was way far from being relaxed. Worst $ 100 I have spent ever

Ease has the best massages in the city. You’ll feel like a new person. Clean and comfortable salon, and the therapists are very good at customizing to your needs.

Came here for a massage during my work lunch time. It is conveniently located right next to my work.
First I really liked how friendly the receptionist was. My massage was amazing — I like massages that are super deep to get all my knots out which the masseuse did a fantastic job. Overall it was spot on.

If first impressions matter, the intake form you fill out after they greet you sets the tone– this place is official. And get this — they actually read the form, too. My masseuse, Benny this particular night, used it to greet me by name and escort me to our private room.
I chose the easeMassage as opposed to the Relax massage, as I like firmer pressure and work with the fingers as well. I also chose the aroma oil for relaxation.
I came in 41 minutes before closing (10pm — they have great hours, too), so I went with the 25 minute massage, which came up to $ 47. That was still sufficient time for me to come out relaxed. They know what they’re doing here. Benny focused on lengthening and stretching for me. And their relaxation techniques work. I was lithe and ready to sleep when we were done. I’ve had back problems for years, and always saw massages as a quick fix for temporary relief, but I feel confident I’ll find significant improvement in posture and ease in muscle tension with future visits. She also gave me tips to help with my posture that I will take with me long after the massage session (I’m usually hunched over my phone when I write reviews– not tonight!).
When the session was over, I was offered warm water to drink with a few drops of their relaxation potion. Before I left, Benny suggested I drink tons of water the next two days, and I was thanked graciously by all staff on the way out.
If they keep that up, I may just become a Friday night regular.

Got my first massage ever here, so I don’t have much to compare it to. I brought my boyfriend here for a couples massage, and had an overall pleasant experience, although I’m not sure it measured up to the price tag.
First of all, the actual facility is very nice. Minimalist, but in a good way. The couples massage room was beautiful and relaxing, with a nice noise machine that completely covers any outside street/​hallway noise. I found that my therapist was a little too light on the pressure, and I tried to ask her to use more a couple times without much of a response, but I’m sure I could have been more assertive, so I’ll split the blame on that. Boyfriend said he had an AMAZING massage, and he has chronic back pain, so I trust his judgement. He said his back was pain-​free for several weeks following the massage. So that’s got to be a good thing.
Other than the slightly disappointing pressure on my end, it was a good experience. Felt very relaxed afterwards, albeit a little greasy from all the lotion. Everyone I worked with there was incredibly polite and friendly, which is of course a must, and I would be happy coming back here again… as long as I can afford it.

Very mediocre massage. I asked for lots of pressure, more than once, and all I received was light touching with way too much oil. She even put lavender scent on me after explaining I was allergic to fragrances.
Would not go back.

Ooh my Bliss! Probably the best & only, 360 massage Ive ever received.
Greeting:
Aroma therapy greets you as you enter the room, the front desk lady was so nice guiding me to sit down as she brought the initial questionnaire for me to fill out. She gets out of the desk and brings to me the papers! what? such amazing costumer service unheard of now a days!
Massage:
The therapist was professional-​friendly (those words are pure honey to my ears!). She greeted me to follow her and was attentive to my concerns. She knew what she was doing responding accurately to my muscle tension never too much or not enough. Amazing. The massage is 360, so its composed of; front, back and sides, not to mention head and feet.
Price:
Different packages and therapist expertise, make it affordable. It is pricey but it was so worth it.
You can pay less at a fast-​mall-​massage place, as I have, and risk getting someone who doesn’t really understand anatomy, as I have.
Departure:
I was left in Blissful relaxation with a simple «thank-​you» as the therapist quietly walked out of the room. ahhhh none of that chatter afterwards, greatly appreciated. I dress go outside and am invited to sit again. Now I am brought a cup of warm water, the therapist lets me know I can put a few drops of a homeopathic liquid to also help in easing relaxation. She discusses her findings, certain areas of stress I need to pay attention to and encourages stretching techniques as she thanks me goodbye. The receptionist comes to me again bringing me my check and a gratuities folder. She was so genuinely nice, we engaged in a little conversation before I left.
Go. Enjoy the experience.
This place may not look super Lux but oh the Experience IS.
Going back!

I’ve been here 5 times and have had a different therapist all but twice. It doesn’t matter who I’ve had they are all very good. Strong and they have stamina. Doing massage is not easy but they can keep going for 80 minutes and finish just as strong as they start. Very skilled and knowledgeable. Every time I’ve been in they have found issues and worked them and given me good feedback and advice on how to help deal with the problem.
The facility is small with a small waiting area that gets pretty busy. Don’t expect an elaborate spa with locker rooms saunas jacuzzis etc. what they lack for space they make up for in quality of services.

My bf brought me here for a couple’s massage for my birthday. He got a TON of points for this – best bday gift ever.
The office inside is very clean and has a very cute spa-​ish tranquil ambiance and décor; bamboo and mini running fountains, a wall of aroma oils, etc. The staff is super friendly and professional. The room where we had the massages done was quite small, but that’s more a problem for the masseuses. The bed/​bench is comfy and the massages were GREAT. They were responsive to requests for changes in pressure and really paid equal attention to each part of the body. I felt very comfortable the entire time.
I would absolutely recommend this place – it’s not overly pricey for NYC and they do a great job. Hopefully I get it again for my bday next year.
