Simple Skin Spa

Honestly amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better first massage experience. Clean, beautiful, relaxing. Loved it, definitely coming back

First time at Simple Skin Spa today. I had a Swedish massage and a Hot Oil Scalp Treatment– Add on with Lauren and she was so great. Had a very wonderful experience. The entire place is beautiful and simply amazing!!! Looking forward to go back for another massage.

I only write reviews when the service is either amazing or horrible :/​but this place it’s simply AMAZING !!! super happy I found it I been going here for the last couple of months I live close by so it’s works perfect for me I was looking for a new place to get facials and after looking around this was super close to home and with amazing reviews and let me tell you how amazing Crystal is the 1^st visit she evaluated my skin and explained what I need it to do to make my skin better and also recommend some home treatment, it’s very rare now days in spas for someone to fully explain details and do a skin evaluation. I been going for the past 4 months and I have seen great improvement in my skin I definitely don’t get crazy breakouts like I used to anymore and my skin looks more healthy and bright. I am super happy with this place and I will continue going here. Also the staff it’s nice and friendly and it’s definitely worth your money.

Went for a massage today… I’ve been here before and I feel totally relaxed and comfortable just walking in the door. Today I had a 80 minute massage with an add-​on with Lauren, OMG!!! I’ve had massages before, good and not so good but today was the BEST EVER! I wasn’t asleep, I wasn’t awake I was in the space we need to go everyone once in a while and it was off the charts. Run, don’t walk… you’ll thank me!!!

Such a cute and clean day spa with friendly and knowledgeable staff! Had a good experience, will be returning!

I was so glad when I finally found this gem in my borough last year. First off, I love that you can always easily find parking. The spa is small but they are strategic in their scheduling as there is never more than two clients in the lounge area. Facilities are always spotless, robes soft as feathers and the spice tea they serve is my favorite. Everytime I walk in I forget that I’m in Queens. Each of the spa rooms have high ceilings with a simple yet chic décor filled with relaxing music and just the right volume and lighting. For massages I always ask for Naomi, she is so sweet and constantly checks if the pressure is on point. For facials I request Crystal. She is so thorough and explains every step of the process. She’s also recommended a Cranberry toner during my second visit and now I can’t live without it. Every service that I’ve gotten here has been absolutely amazing, I always leave feeling incredible!

All women day spa in the local area. I always passed by this when I was walking around, and thought «what a cute storefront».
Once inside, you are greeted by the girl at the tiny front desk. it seems small but airy and spacious at the same time. They did some really smart decorating overall, with bright walls, simple, yet elegant furniture. Two seats by the front window to sit and fill out your form if you’re a first timer. In the hallway is where all the rooms are — I believe there are 3 treatment rooms and one bathroom (the’s the first door on your left through the hallway). The door is always open and the light on if no one’s inside, so it’s super easy to tell if it’s occupied. None of this cautiously or hesitantly knocking and wondering if you’re interrupting someone’s dump.
****Bathroom is very clean — on the bench are a couple of robes folded up, green slippers that are comfy, and a small straw like tote bag to carry your belongings to the small row of wood lockers in the hallway. Have a tray of towels to dry your hands with. A candle sits on the sink. Nice ambiance on top of the dim cozy lighting.
The waiting area is super cozy looking as well… as if you were heading to your own living room:
–Brick wall to one side, with shelves with magazines, fruit/​mint flavored water, glass cups, tea cups, and herbal peppermint tea
–An L shaped sofa
–An outdoor area with lounge chairs and long benches to lay on. I could probably doze off there and not be discovered till closing time.
****Robes are big, and lined on the inside. I think they feel great on a winter day, but in the summer, I was feeling very hot and sweaty in a few minutes.
****Treatment rooms have the same basic and simple style as the entire establishment — light or white walls, the bed you lay on (facials and reflexology) your legs are raised and elevated. Not sure about the other massages. A hook on the wall to hang your robe, and a classy chair in the corner for anything else. During my treatments, I barely heard any noise other than their nature machine. Grand Avenue can have a lot of passing traffic, especially trucks, but I heard none of it! I was pleasantly surprised. I did hear the stomping footsteps of another worker who happened to be such a tiny woman, but that’s about it, Lol.
****Reflexology and Hot Oil Scalp treatment with Naomi:
The description said «for tired legs and feet» but she focused mainly on my feet. Pressure could have been harder, to work out more of the tired aches. It almost felt similar to a calf and foot lotion massage. It was relaxing, I think I caught myself snoring about 5 times — no joke.
****Summer rescue facial with Crystal:
Super sweet, smart, and informative girl who really knows her stuff without being arrogant or a know-​it-​all. Very calm demeanor as she asked me questions like if I was pregnant, had botox, personal stuff that she needed to double check. For my Classic Facial, she wouldn’t even do it because I had a slight sun burn and didn’t want to risk harming my skin. So I would either take off then and there, or take one of their other facial treatments that was safe to do on sun burned skin. I appreciated her firmness and unwillingness to do damage just to make a buck. I decided to go with the summer rescue facial instead thinking I was already there and this girl seemed like a good one. It was an interesting 55 minutes, but not unpleasant. Some of her techniques included rubbing upward on my forehead repeatedly. I felt like I was raising my brow in quick succession, and worried about more wrinkles. Other times she grabbed my hair near my scalp and tugged upward, hard. I think I lost about an additional hairs in those 55 minutes, Lol. She also used a lot of lotions and liquids, and some would trickle down my neck or into my ear, some in my nostril. So that was a bit uncomfortable, but not a dealbreaker.
***Really affordable — a quaint, clean little gem — in Queens compared to big places in Manhattan where you feel kind of overlooked. Two treatments (45 min reflexology and 55 min facial) and an add-​on (15 mins), less than $ 200.
*Online customer service — they respond to emails within 24 hours.
*Booking an appointment online is so easy and fast! Seamless!
*No parking except for street.
****HUGE PLUS: You get a lot of personal attention here. They don’t overbook, there isn’t a ton of stuff, no one is rushing around. I noticed they were ten minutes late for my treatment, and this had happened at Bliss spa before, and it really irks me that I have to pay for a shortened treatment because they never make up for it. Over here, the time starts when you are on the table! So if you start late, they add on the time. I was so impressed by that.

Absolutely love this place! It’s spotless, clean and rustic. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I’ve gotten the simple signature massage and the aromatherapy massages all by Noemi– she is great, really attentive to problem areas and ensures you are comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole treatment. It’s definitely a hidden gem in Maspeth!

Wonderful place to get away. I was looking for a facial and checked reviews and ratings. This place received the best locally. I wnjoyed how small it is and yet spacious. Love the back area where you can relax on the sofa or in the patio. Lovely place. The services are not like the usual. The staff os knowledgeable and provided information on how I could improve my diet to improve my skin.
Arrive early. Your appointment will start with or without you. That is the only set back because Grand street is congested and hard to find parking.

Simple Skin is just as refreshing as its name! Upon arrival I was greeted by the lovely receptionist. The atmosphere is truly soothing and is a sanctuary, a nice getaway from the everyday city. I received a facial and hot stone massage and it was amazing! My face is glowing and I feel like mush (best way possible)! Looking forward to making another visit sooner than later!

First time here and had a wonderful massage with Naomi yesterday. I’ve been having this persistent pain/​uncomfortableness in my neck and left shoulder for 2+ weeks. I went hoping to get some relief and now I have full range of motion again. So happy!
My only regret is that I didn’t book enough time.

How can I begin to explain this little piece of heaven? I can’t! This place is amazing, the staff is wonderful.
Crystal explained in detail everything that was going to happen during the facial
Lauren gave a wonderful massage
Don’t walk Run to Simple Skin Spa
I’ve book another appointment already

Skin heaven simply put. I love the enchanting décor and relaxing atmosphere. This is my second visit and I love it even more. I have sensitive skin and its hard for me to find a place to have a proper facial done that will not leave me disappointed. Every detail is looked after here. My first visit was in March in preparation of my daughters upcoming wedding and the bride to be and I came here and they treated us to some lovely champagne in honor of the upcoming nuptials. The girls are very attentive and professional. They have healthy snacks and wonderful teas. Mother’s Day is coming up and I will be gifting my mom a facial and massage because she deserves the best and Simple Skin Spa is the best. Not all the great spas are in NYC this outter borough has one of the best spas in the game. So if you are looking for a great intimate spa look no further. I am proud to have it in my home borough and neighborhood. Now if they opened up one for the men my husband would be a happy camper because he is so jealous when I brag about my experience here. Cheers to Simple Skin Spa! Oops almost forgot to mention Crystal there is a reason why other reviews rave about her, the best esthetican.

Simply AMAZING!
Real facial experts, friendly staff, great cozy environment, and super clean!

If you want to look and feel like a million bucks then definitely visit simple skin spa. The spa itself is not huge but it has that cozy/​intimate vibe that I love. The relaxation area has herbal tea and snacks that you can enjoy while waiting for your treatment. It has a cute backyard/​outdoor area where you can relax also during the warmer months.
I had an appointment for a facial with Crystal. Crystal is so thorough with everything explaining each and every step of the facial. She starts off with analyzing your skin/​face, a process called face mapping, under a bright light (don’t know the correct term for it). She then explained the good and the bad about each area of my face and what I could do to improve those areas. I hadn’t had a facial in a long time so there were a lot of extractions done. My skin was glowing after the treatment and I really felt like a million bucks. Even my mom complimented my skin and wanted to know what I was using and this was three to four weeks after I had my facial appt. with crystal.
Crystal also recommended some products by Arcona, which they also use and carry at the spa for purchase. I purchased all the products she recommended and I must say they’re all great. I’ve been using it for about 3 months now and I do notice a difference in my skin. My skin now looks more brighter than before and it feels super smooth. I also checked the Arcona line of products online and it has great reviews. All in all, I was very happy with my treatment at simple skin spa and I cannot wait to go back again.

Great Spa! Ill definitely be coming back. Im really big on taking care of myself. Feeling and looking great is a big deal for me! Thank you for such an amazing experience!

I was slightly dissappointed with my first visit here (just due to extraction level) but the owner promptly reached out to me and went above and beyond to ensure complete satisfaction.
Upon my second visit, I had a good facial and had a face mapping done (so educational! who would have known what you could learn through this technique?!). I will continue to invest in frequenting this spa in order to follow my facialist’s advice on how to bring my skin to an optimal condition.
This spa works really hard to keep their clients happy and pays very close attention to even the smallest details.
They (from the receptionist/​scheduler to the two facialists to the owner) are all extremely gracious. The facialists are very knowledgeable and regularly trained by Arcona with new products and as a result new facials as new products are introduced. In fact, Arcona (natural beauty brand) is all this spa carries, uses and sells and most of their products smell and feel divine! Upon checking out after your service, the front desk will provide you with a hand written «script» courtesy of your facialist on what products she recommends for your skin and exact instructions on how she suggests using them. So easy!
The spa is impeccably clean, very serene and with a very nice and well-​thought out selection of snacks and fruit/​mint water with a small relaxation/​lounge area in the back. The entire appointment making, arrival and transition area from in clothes to out of clothes and into the treatment room was seamless.

One of the best spa experiences I have ever had! I received a classic facial with Sinead. She was so sweet and knowledgeable. I have frequented a lot of different spas ranging from pricey resort spas, to simpler ones in Chinatown, and honestly, this was one of the best facials I have ever had.
Sinead did a great job being thorough with my extractions without much pain. So grateful for this clean and relaxing experience.

An absolutely blissful place. I had the Head, shoulders and toes massage and it was great. It is recommended for people dealing with computer strain and I just had to do it. Thank you Crystal for the great massage.
I’ve also had the deep tissue and it was great especially after running a marathon. I will definitely continue to come here.

Finally quality spa services in queens!
I went here a few days ago for what I thought would be a quick eyebrow wax treatment and in the end, I received far more than that! While the prices weren’t by any means cheap, the services rendered more than justified the price. If you’re expecting and looking for a hit and run treatment this isn’t it. My experience started with a little facial analysis and prep, followed by the actual waxing. When I say she was thorough, I mean she came at me with a magnifying glass and miners headgear. The treatment ended with her putting some skin repair ointments on. My skin is very sensitive and in the past I’ve walked out of other places looking burned and beaten. Here I walked out mildly pink and no breakout followed. Booked a full on massage as a result of the great experience!
