Just Calm Down Spa

As a long-time Just Calm Down Spa goer, I must say that I am very surprised when I see a reviewer putting down the positive reviews. It makes me wonder if the neg review (see right below) is true or not! Just Calm Down has a stellar reputation and the reason is the place is quite special. The services, staff and down to earth vibe are charms the spa possesses that sets itself apart from the many other, white walled medicinal bubble spas in the city. I have tried most of the services by myself and with friends, and we have always been more than pleased. So I suggest a try so that you will see what a great experience Just Calm Down spa really is. Listen to those good reviews, they definitely count for something. Also, check-out all the magazines. Editors seem thrilled toooo! Pros: a chill and inviting place Cons: none more

I'm a girl who loves deep tissue massages! The stronger the better. Usually when I have massages only male therapists are able to break through my ridiculously tight back muscles. Well, I finally found a woman who is able to do just that! Kristina...you were awesome! I definitely hesitated when the desk told me that only female therapists were available on the date I wanted, but I am so glad that I listened! Just calm Down is truly the definition of this place! I say to all...just go and find out for yourself! Pros: deep tissue massages Cons: none more

Believe the hype and the talk...This place rocks the house. From the charming and eclectic decor to the sweet and helpful front desk to the top-notch service providers, this place stands out for sure! Came on recommendation for a quick brazilian and ended up scheduling a facial and a massage. The wax was quick and virtually painless (if you can say that about a wax!). The facial was very complete and my skin felt like years city grime had been lifted. The massage- well that just lifted me to new heights. Raquel my therapist really knows her stuff and could read my muscles like a book. Love this place and recommend to all! more

I was recommended to visit Just Calm Down from my hotel concierge and a wonderful experience it was! After a very long flight and a night out I was ready for some relaxation. A massage would truly be a blessing I told myself...Where to go? Well Just Calm Down really was a delight. My Massage Therapist Maya was so helpful in helping me choose the right massage for how I was feeling. We decided on the Raindrop massage which helped to clear my head and warm my muscles. Her hands were luxurious, working out my flying kinks and six months of working too hard knots in my back and neck. She was truly a blessing...This is my way of saying thank you. Pros: great massages more

after spending way too many hours in the office without a break, I decided to treat myself to a little time at just calm down. Great idea on my part. I decided to have a facial and a pedicure to get ready for the Summer months. The facialist was a true miracle worker. She was extremely nice and out of the park talented! i never had a facial before with such a wonderful massage. She was also very diligent and listened without hesitation to all my skin complaints. She explained to me the best way to care for my skin and advised me on a few key products that would help to maintain the sheer magic she had worked on my skin. It was my good fortune that she also was my pedicurist. She helpeded me to choose the most brilliant color (environmentally friendly to boot!) to match my skintone and the best pedicure for my tired, cranky feet. Thesoak smelled and looked beautiful and completely calmed down my sore, achy feet. It's been three weeks since my visit and my polish still looks great...not to mention my glowing skin. I was so glad to have the few hours of ultimate relaxation and hope to get out of the office for another spa break soon. Pros: wonderful facials and pedicures Cons: can't move in more

I used to live in the Chelsea area of NYC and i really enjoyed Just Calm Down on a weekly basis. I have since moved back to London, but on a recent City jaunt I had to visit my old spa. The place is as charming as ever and I do believe the services are even better than before! I especially loved the quirkiness of The Moroocan Massage. This was new to the menu since I had last been to the spa and I must say, a one-of-a-kind experience. It helped with my jet-lagged body and stiff airplane neck and leg muscles! I am hoping one day that Just Calm Down comes over seas! That would be a real treat! But for now, I will make a visit each time I revisit my old city. Pros: a little slice of heaven more

I had a horrible migraine, the kind where your eyes throb and such...I called Just Calm Down on recommendation from a co-worker. My therapist was very soothing in her manner, calming me down from the minute we started speaking. She asked me lots of questions about how I was feeling and I truly felt like I was in good hands! Well, I soon learned I was in great hands. Her technique used just the right amount of strength, and she was able to loosen extremely tight muscles in my neck and back. The blend of oils she used was perfect--not too over powering. By the end of the massage, I felt light as a feather and my head felt ten pounds lighter as well. Thank you to Just Calm Down for making me feel so much better. Pros: The Cure For All Headaches Cons: Not enough time to spend at the spa more

I usually don't go by reviews in beauty magazines, but I had to try the Moroccan Massage written about in Allure Mag. To my surprise, it was absolutely fabulous. My therapist was very educated and really understood my issues. It was the first time that I had a massage where my body felt levitaed. As a yoga enthusiast, the stretching was top notch! So nice to have someone doing the work for you. The water bed was just the right temperture allowing my body to fully relax. After the massage, they squeezed me in for a quick brazilian. It was quick and painless...I will be back for more services for sure! I'm a fan forever! Pros: massages and waxing Cons: going back to work! more

I have been a true blue client at Just Calm Down for many years and when I read the below reviews it truly seems like an unhappy x employee is going crazy on the place! Just Calm Down is now truly celebrity with the massage paparazzi on her tail! I do think the spa is above and beyond in customer service and skills. How could anyone not like the owner. She is as sweet as can be! So listen to me when I tell you the place is fabulous! The pedicures and massages are apart of my weekly schedule. Check the place out and you will see what the craze is all about! Also, congrats on Allure-Best Of! Well deserved! Pros: great skills, very creative, awsome atmosphere Cons: paparazzi more

Was having a stressful week and the therapists at Just Calm Down truly cured my woes both physicvally and mentally! I first had the Morroccan massage which I read about in New York Magazine. The writer was right on! It was completely decadent and well worth the wait. My knotted muscles are feeling limp and loving life! No more pain. I think my therapists name was Jenilin... I then had a facial that was incredible. Even the facial massage was brilliant. I ended my afternoon with a wine pedicure. My feet were drunk with pleasure! If your job is getting you down, go over to Just Calm Down and you will do just that. Pros: wonderful massages,facial, pedicures Cons: none more

Never had a massage before with a male therapist and must say Jodan (spelling???) was out of this world. His spirituality mixed with his skill is the right combination...just go and see! Totally worth it! Pros: Massage worth bragging about! more

I guess it still surprises me to see that some people have nothing better to do than put down a former place of work. Where do they get the time?? I also am a former employee, (moved away) but I have nothing but good things to say about the spa. The management is ultra nice and always tried selling our skills to the clients, giving us the opportunity to developement our client base. The spa is very cute and chill with awesome services to boot. Pros: creative services Cons: ex-employees more

Yo...........this stuff is Soooooo funny! LMBO.......people must be reading this and going "Wat the Heck"!! Its like one extreme or the other. Odviously a set up. Anyway, I'm not here to bash anyone. The spa has been open for 6 years and that says alot in it self. But the fact that there are odviously many very unhappy employees says alot also. We should all take time to LOOK AT OURSELF. If an event repeats itself, theres always a reason why. Oh BTW, I love my new Job=) Pros: Great Staff Cons: cleanliness more

can't believe what a wonderfully quaint place this is. i bought my mother a gift certificate for her birthday so that we could share a spa day together. we were both really impressed with the adorable atmosphere. we are so not into those other places with the turned up noses and such! the front desk girl is quite lovley and extremely helpful. she explained the services so well that we were able to pin-point the exact services we wanted done before arriving. the massages were decadent, very warming and relaxing. after our facials, our skin felt 10 yrs younger. usually i run to apply make-up, but didn't need too. we then enjoyed very luxurious beachy pedicures. it was so much nicer sitting on a couch then the typical pedicure chairs. while we were there, we met a couple who have been celebrating their anniversary at the spa for the past five years. we thought it was so sweet. anyway, this place is truly a mecca in a busy city. even the gift certificates are personalized. so nice not to give an ordinary plastic card. just want to say thank you for the most peaceful and wonderful afternoon. Pros: excellent services, beautiful space, sweet receptionist Cons: zero more

I've been going to Just Calm Down for awhile now thanks to my girlfriend. Being a guy I'm not really the spa type but their massages are for real. I play on a hockey league and massages are critical for me. This place is the only place I go to now. The staff is great too at making you feel really comfortable, especially recently. (back in the day there was some nasty tattoo chick at the front desk who used to always smoke outside and annoy me but the new one is chill) I've done some of the couples packages too with my girlfriend and we have had a great time. If you're a guy and need a good quality massage or you want to really impress your girl this is the place to go. Pros: great massages, quality, hot staff Cons: no sauna more

My mother's birthday was last weekend and I had no idea what to get her. My girlfriend suggested a spa day at Just Calm Down so I gave it a shot. So I got her a gift certificate and she went last Sunday and loved it!! My mother was glowing from head to toe and it was nice to see her finally relaxed! thank you just calm down for making my mother's day so special. A+ A+ A+! Pros: mom knows best- great spa more

As the current Spa Manager of just calm down, I would like to clarify the below review. The issues mentioned by the below employee were ones that she in fact created under her own discretion while the owner was on maternity leave. I was hired to clean up the mess that she had left the spa in and I find it unfortunate that the situation has been so misconstrued. As with any business, when problems arise, the necessary actions need to be taken to fix them. In the case of just calm down, the necessary actions included firing this employee so that the impeccable customer service clients have come to know since the spas inception could resume. The spa has a very large returning clientele and I would imagine that if the things listed below about the owner were true, this would not be the case. Pros: Exceptional staff, customer service, and services more

I love this place very much. I agree with the true blue just calm downers! Disgruntled emplyees really need to just stop writing these ridiculous reviews. Isn't obvious why they no longer have jobs??? Anyway, I love the services and the staff. The place is so sweet, clean and pretty. The person who wrote about the letters above the desk must have superman vision. (Lucky Them!) So listen to me when I tell you Just Calm Down is the BEST! Pros: great decor, nice staff, lovly services Cons: disgruntled ex-employees more

just calm down is wonderful point blank. The reviewer below is retarded! I really doubt a place could stay in business and do well if there was mold and dust on everything. Get real! Every time ive been there, there have been a lot of clients there and I even saw a celebrity there getting a pedicure over the holidays. Oh and fyi- the reviewer below talked about dust being on the fabric letters over the counter?how could you even see that? They are so far away?.you only can see close to them like that if you?re behind the counter which only employees are! which is why I concur with reviewer diane below?I think there really is an ex employee mad at getting fired! Lol anyways ive been to just calm down quite a few times and my time spent there has always been good. And trust me im the first one to complain if something is not right. To the reviewer below..if there really was mold on a grape you?re an idiot for paying for it and not speaking up! You failed to tell us if you said anything or how it was addressed?I guess the mold got to your head?! Pros: cool $ss place! Cons: nothing its the best! more

I came to this spa several days ago and had a pedicure done... After visiting I decided to have a look on City Search to view its responses and ratings. Found them all very disturbing... the majority seem to be a contrived and conceptual play on words rating this spa to be the best thing since sliced bread, the others; a very harsh approach to some truth about this existing business. I base my rating on an experience and want to warn those of you who rate cleanliness high in regards! I have found the last few responses quite amusing. Someone should go in there with one of those blue lights that show the real works!!! The place is pretty gross; the couches, the curtains, even the fabric letters hung high above and behind the front desk are ridden with dust and dander. Swear it, the grape in my "Special Wine Pedi" that cost $85 had mold on it!! more
