Spa Boutique 2go

Absolutely loved this hidden gem! It felt like an oasis in the middle of Harlem. From the entry, I felt like I was moving into a different mental space.
Absolutely loved Shirley. I got the «all that» package. Everything about my experience left me so relaxed. I was gifted this experience but I will definitely be back again to try the other services.

So I went online and found this place with rave reviews, made an appointment to check it out.
Pros: Great customer service, beautiful atmosphere, very soothing, relaxing and decent calf massage
Cons: I had a massage with Shirley and was ready to have all the tension release from my body. I was very much looking forward to this appointment after all the rave reviews I had read about her. She is very nice but the massage was really lacking. I love a good deep tissue massage from someone who knows the body. Unfortunately, Shirley is not that person. I had filled out a form, and indicated the problem areas but she completely ignored it. She overworked part of my back and neglected the other half and did not massage my feet, hips, thighs and barely touched my arms/​hands. It felt half the time she was lightly running her hands over my back (which did nothing) or pressing one part of my back to the point where it would hurt without releasing any tension. I felt like that she did not know where to press or how. Halfway through the massage I wanted to leave but I thought it might get better, sadly it did not.
I left the place very unsatisfied and not relaxed. This is not my first massage and I like someone who understands the ligaments/​muscles/​pressure points in order to relax the body. If anything the one part of my back she overworked was very sore and tender for days on end.
I am saddened to keep this review since I was very excited to make this my go to massage/​spa place.

What a neighborhood gem! Best prices, great service. Feels good to support a Harlem business. I will be back for more!

Yes! Book your appointment right now! And that is all…
.On a more serious note, I’ve been a monthly client at Spa Boutique 2go for the last 6 months and I definitely feel like I’ve discovered Harlem’s gem. Shirley is A M A Z I N G !! The woman has magic in her fingertips. No matter what kind of day/​week/​month I’ve been having, my demeanor is immediately transformed as soon as I rest my head on her massage table. The atmosphere is serene and the service is top notch — everything you’d want out of a personal retreat. .And the little Ferrero Rocher chocolate that waits for you at the end of every session is an added bonus. In short, Spa Boutique 2Go is one of my favorite places to be. If you are looking for a little piece of heaven here on Earth I strongly encourage you to pay Shirley and her team a visit. You won’t regret it!

Spa boutique 2 Go is conveniently located right next to my apartment and my trips there for massages or eyebrow waxes have always been professional.
You buzz in from the outside and remove your shoes before you enter the spa area, it’s nice to know NYC grime is not being tracked in. The spa is lit soothingly and music is usually playing. All of the employees are kind and I’ve never had to wait long for an appointment (which you can book online by the way).
For the massages I’ve had the massage therapists have taken the time get to know what you want to work on and any potential trouble areas. They use a less harsh wax which is much better suited to my sensitive skin, I don’t end up walking out looking red and irritated.
One of my favorite things is on your way out they give you a small water bottle and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate, I really look forward to that small gesture!

I originally stumbled upon Spa Boutique 2 Go almost 2 years when I had a groupon. Deborah took care of me that day and I haven’t looked back since. I rarely signup for anything on the spot but I didn’t hesitate to become a member so I could look forward to a monthly massage. They have since moved to their new location which is so beautifully decorated you wouldn’t think you were in an apartment building. Not only are the massages amazing (Shirley is awesome as well!) but so are the prices. Finding a spa with reasonable prices that’s not shady is very difficult in NYC but this hidden gem does it all. I’d highly recommend it!

I was at the old location two years ago and really loved my massage. Last week, I was searching Unilocal for massages when I suddenly remembered this place. I booked an appointment right away and went in for a massage today. I had the same person (Shirley) and she was and is fantastic. I didn’t want my massage to end.
I like the new location so much better, it is actually a real spa. The last location was a yoga studio and spa combine. I booked a 45 minute massage, which wasn’t long enough. I really wish they did two hour massages. The location is convenient and easy to get to and the prices are reasonable. I’m now thinking about going once a month. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

I had a wonderful hot stone massage here the other day. It was my first time visiting the location but I was happy to find a great place near where I live. From the moment you enter the spa, you feel like you have been transported into a soothing, tranquil space. The staff are very accommodating and professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my massage and my therapist was very good. Highly recommend.

I had an introductory back massage by Shirley — she was amazing! Was in so much pain prior to the massage, and she really worked it all out, above and beyond! Shirley was great!

Massages, facials, waxing and smiles. They are a one stop happiness shop. I’ve had l of these experiences here with both Deborah and Shirley. Both are amazing and I highly recommend the monthly membership because they are good for both facials and massages. Further you can double up and receive both services if you miss a month and you get a discount on other services. You really can’t lose.

Amazing Staff. Amazing Space. Amazing Energy ! You’ll Feel Right At Home. I Will Recommend Everyone To Try This Place At Least Once And You’ll Never Want To Go Anywhere Else

Shirley and Deborah are very friendly and professional. They accommodate my spa appointments and requests with no trouble, and are very considerate of their clients. The environment is very relaxing and they provide quality services at very reasonable prices. I have been a loyal client for 2+ years and I refuse to go anywhere else. By far the best spa I have ever been to!

My boyfriend and I enjoyed my birthday gift for a Couples Himalayan Hot Stone Massage. It was wonderful! Shirley and Debra paid attention to our request and needs… they focused on our areas of stress… the environment is clean, welcoming, and zenful.

For more than a year, I am seeing Deborah once a month for a member massage. She has the hands of a magician. All month I am looking forward to the appointment, Deborah never fails to get the knots out and I walk out of there as if on clouds. Shirley and Deborah are both lovely people, they are passionate about their business, the place is calm, quiet, lovely, friendly clean and professional, and the price is more than right! I can not recommend SpaBoutiqueToGo enough!

When I came to Spa Boutique 2go a year ago, I had been recently diagnosed with sciatica and stenosis of the spine causing me a great deal of pain. This made it difficult for me to walk and get through my daily routine. I was advised by my doctor to get «deep tissue» massages and so I came to the Spa. When I met Debra and explained my problem, she knew exactly what to do, and after several weekly massages the pain diminished and and I was able to get my life back. Their reasonable prices have made it possible for me to continue my weekly massages which have contributed greatly to my new sense of well being. Over the past year, I have come to feel that both Debra and Shirley are consummate professionals and cherished friends. I always look forward to my appointments, and leave with a renewed sense of hope that I can live with arthritis without feeling hindered by it.

I went for a much needed massage and facial after discovering this spa on Unilocal.It was really easy to make an appointment. I was instantly greeted and felt relaxed. I had Deborah for both services an she was more than adept at her job. I told her about my trouble zones and she went to work clearing the knots from my neck and shoulders. She even gave me tips on how to prevent them in the future. My facial was also incredibly relaxing and my skin glowed afterwards. After my massage I immediately booked another appointment.
I had my second visit today and have decided to become a member. The location is clean and very convenient to my home. The service is impeccable and I leave feeling relaxed each and every time. I highly recommend this location and Deborah.

First couple’s massage & first hot stone massage.
It was wonderful. These ladies are professionals & you leave feeling AMAZING.

Booked an appointment for husband on his birthday! I found a groupon but if you are a new cydt4yiu gdt thid deal with or without groupon :)! The place ud really chic.. You are welcomed with champagne, tea… Johanna took care of my hubby she was really nice and helpful!

I had a lovely experience at Spa Boutique 2go. I got the Groupon for a couples massage for my boyfriend and I. I booked it over the phone. Received an email confirmation the day before the reservation (called a few weeks in advance to book it and was told I’d receive an email confirmation right away, which I didn’t, but the email did come the day before). We were able to find parking relatively quickly outside the spa.
The service was excellent. I had a massage by Deborah and my boyfriend had Shirley. We were both extremely pleased, and enjoyed our chocolates on the way out :)
If you check in with Unilocal,you also get 3 lip balm samples, which was nice.
I am likely to go back to the spa in a few weeks for another massage.

Well I have to say it was one of my top 3 spa experiences. Deborah was my masseuse and she was excellent and very attentive to my issues. The massage was as strong as I like it to be and I felt very comfortable the entire time. The facial was equally wonderful!!! I have no complaints!
I agree the contact time and/​or communication can definitely improve. Even if it’s small business that doesn’t have a receptionist. One thing to remember is that part of the experience is feeling that your time is valued. I had some issues last year but this time it was definitely improved. Hopefully you give it a chance and have a nice experience! Nothing but good things to say.
