Stephanie Entirety Body Work Center

Jenny gave the best massage I’ve had in years. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic massage. Definitely the best massage i’ve ever gotten for that price, it was just 40 $ for 45 minutes! (not including tip)
Sofia did an amazing job and i’ll ask for her in the future. Well done.

i got a great massage for a reasonable price (45 mins for $ 40). but, not so sure about the signs that say minimum tip 20%?! and the tax added onto my $ 40? i’ve gotten plenty of massages in California and never paid tax, could it be a NY thing?

My first visit was exceptional. I’m 7 months pregnant and can’t fathom paying another $ 150 for a mediocre pre-​natal massage. My legs have been tired and sore for the past few weeks, so I stopped by as a walk-​in to see if they could help. The masseuse spent 60 minutes solely on my legs and lower back. Best $ 60 I’ve spent in a while. I intend to go back a couple more times before I deliver.
Also, don’t judge a book by its cover! The entry looks a little uninviting but the area with the massage tables has soft lighting, neutral colors and all the towels and blankets smelled like fresh laundry.

I had a nice massage here. There was a really nice ambience and I felt that the massage was not too hard and not too soft. Just right. The signs for 20% gratuity minimum are a little intense, but considering they work so hard on you, $ 10 gratuity isn’t that high. It’s $ 50 for the hour so expect to pay $ 60 with tip and everything included if you’re paying cash. No frills but well kept.

I walked in here for a 1-​hour body rubdown one Sunday. I got situated right away and was led to a dimly-​lit area with sections cordoned off by curtains. It’s generally a nice, quiet place except for the errant ringing phone. It’s not fancy with like vanilla-​scented candles and stuff, but it seemed clean and the service was polite. The massage was pretty good. I felt like they knew where to knead the most — or maybe it was just my tense shoulders crying out with relief with every stroke.
The massage is $ 50 pre-​tax, minimum tip is 20%.

I just had a great massage from this place today. I couldn’t wait to Unilocal it when I got home.
The place is clean and quiet. You get your own area with curtains.
I got the 1 hour back massage for $ 50 (20% min tip). They knew all the pressure points. Sophia spent majority of her time on my back, but still had enough time to work on my legs, arms, neck and head (she threw in a few mins to work on my face too!). When it was all done, I felt so relaxed. When they found out I was a 1^st timer, the lady behind the counter gave me a 10% off on my next visit!
Def. will go to them again!

Highly recommended for great price and convenience.

Big fan… after a two-​day business trip standing on hardwood floors with no chairs and offset and low keyboard, feet and legs were cramped and stiff and barking. After a soak in a bucket of hot water, and 60min foot and calf massage in a large, comfy recliner — left reinvigorated and speechless, and almost back to feeling human again.
To be fair, it isn’t reflexology per se — but strong hands and merciless thumbs were marvelous and definitely worth the 20% cash tip. Will be back!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I’m so glad I live across the street. I’ve never had a bad massage from them, and I go about once a week. Yes, once a week… they’re that good and it’s so reasonably priced, I find myself just showing up at their door…
If you’re in the area, you should definitely stop in for a heavenly massage.

This is hands down the BEST place to go to get a really deep, amazing massage.
I’ve paid $ 200 for massages & they cannot compare to this little spot.
It’s totally transforming-​their skills are just incredible.
If you can’t tell-​I highly recommend them!

We stopped by after dinner for a foot & calf massage. The place is clean and comfortable and we didn’t have to wait at all. The treatment was okay, but to call it reflexology is giving it too much credit. It’s a standard massage. The masseuses intermittently chatted with each other in Chinese, distracting from my zen feeling.
There is a mandatory 20% tip (cash only). This really irked me! It cost them a star, maybe even a star and a half.
In the end, it was $ 72 for two people to get 30-​minute foot rubs. Steep, no?

They have shaped up considerably. i am happy now

I was here and ½ way thru the massage the woman left and a new woman came in. The new woman was breathing heavy thru her mouth and snuffling. She sneezed once and was obviously SICK. I can’t afford to get sick/​miss a week of work so I jumped up, got dressed and left while I still had 10 minutes left.
She didn’t understand why because no one there speaks English. Also I was charged an extra $ 4 because they thought I wanted a gift certificate. I was so freaked out I didn’t care about the $$ but I do care about my health!

I went here not knowing what to expect and was greeted delightfully with a great and attentive staff. I arrived in the evening and had called in before checking to see if they were busy and could accommodate me.
I was asked to change my shoes and put on their flip-​flops. I waited about 10 minutes and then asked how long I’d like a massage. I chose an hour and was lead to the last massage table in the inside room. I changed and the massage began.
My masseuse was excellent. She was a bit rough on the sides of my body and certain back points but did a great job. She asked me a few times if I wanted a lower intensity so I’m sure you could request this. I didn’t get the heavy breather although I think the person in the next room got that specific masseuse because I could hear some breathing in there.
Overall, I’d totally go back to this place again. It was clean, easy, and they did a great job.

I just want to reiterate the positive reviews: the place was clean, the massage excellent, the price right.
I have had many massages in a spa setting, but this was my first visit to a Chinese «tui-​na» body work place. The massage here was just as good, if not better, than the ones I had in the more expensive settings.
My biggest fear going in was that it would be unsanitary, which was entirely misplaced. The center was very clean, and I felt very comfortable with the set up. The curtain-​dividers provided plenty of privacy (the lights are dim; unlike other reviewers, I didn’t see anyone else and no one entered my area other than the masseuse).
My masseuse was liberal with the massage oil, but removed it with a hot, damp towel after she finished each section (back, legs, arms, &c.), so I didn’t leave feeling oily.
The heavy breathing was initially disconcerting, but I was much more focused on the massage, so it quickly ceased to be an issue. The massage itself was invigorating, like a deep-​tissue/​sports massage. It really got out the knots and stiffness in my back. I also feel like I have better range of motion in my neck and shoulders than before I went in (I got the 90-​min treatment). This is not the kind of massage you sleep through.
Everyone was very friendly. Although I appreciated the fact that the masseuse didn’t try to make conversation (which has happened at the higher-​end places), I suspect that if you wanted a lighter touch you could request it.
Overall, I highly recommend it!

I went here because it’s close to my place and the reviews were helpful as I wasn’t sure if would be worth trying it out.
It was worth it! I got the hour massage and had Jenny as my masseuse. I barely noticed the breathing, it was only after like 30 mins that I noticed it and chuckled to myself about it. As a person who can be pretty irritated by noises like that (chewing sounds, etc) I didn’t even notice it.
Definitely check it out!

I started patronizing this place 2 years ago and Jenny was my masseuse. Yes, she breathes heavily, but it’s because she puts all her strength into her massages. And massaging someone is exhausting work. I tend to zone out while she works the knots out of my muscles and her breathing doesn’t even phase me. So I don’t care. I’m loyal to Jenny. She really knows which muscles are aching and will work that area til it’s good and ready. And the price can’t be beat. Don’t come in here expecting eucalyptus and lavender and all that other hubbub. It’s a no frills kinda place… and its clean… and they give good massages.

This review is for the mouth breather and not so much this establishment. The worst massage ever… I had the mouth breather and it is the first time I prayed for the massage to end. She had no method. I was naked on the table and she let people walk in and out like it was nothing. She kept blowing her nose and massaged my body… gross! She let out a silent and deadly fart… should I keep going?
I tipped poorly and then they had the nerve to point out my bad tip and requested that I tip more. I said ‘helllllll no’ and walked out!
I’m sure the other workers are pretty good and may try them again. Waste of money and time… neither of which I’ll get back.

Walking around the East Village at 10:00 on a Sunday night, I had a sudden hankering to be pampered. Lo and behold, just a block from my apartment, Stephanie Body Work appeared with its footprint logo glowing in the lamplight. It literally called me by name.
Once inside, I was told there would be a five minute wait, and indeed, five minutes later, I was led into a curtained-​off area with a massage table and told to undress. I asked if I could keep my undies on, seeing as I’m modest like that, and my masseuse said just the top was fine.
I opted for the 32-​minute massage for $ 25 (the price list says this does not include tax and tip, but it does in fact include tax). Reflexology is also on the menu, but is a little pricier at $ 1/​min. The massage was thorough and felt lovely.
I do have a couple complaints, though. This isn’t that big a deal, but my masseuse (female) was either sick or a clinical mouth-​breather. She sounded like a pimply adolescent with a retainer watching porn for the first time. This was especially unsettling when she straddled my back to get at my shoulders.
My other complaint is a little more substantive, and that is that I left with a bit of soreness in my right shoulder that wasn’t there when I walked in. This soreness lasted a full day after the massage. I imagine this is not a regular occurrence, but I probably will not be visiting this place again. Still, the massage itself was very nice.
