Last weekend I took my wife here for our anniversary...... she loved it!!! We had a couples massage so we were in the same room and our therapists were really friendly and talented. We also loved hanging out in the jacuzzi room where they had saunas and a steam room too. I would definitely go back, everyone was extremely friendly, professional and welcoming.
Pros: wet lounge, bar, awesome massage

Magnolia Spa is the best, plain and simple. The service and treatments (waxing, mani-pedis, facials) are excellent. But I think the most amazing thing is that, after going there for four years, I've never had a bad experience. Sometimes in NYC, you've feel like you've found "your" place, and then all of a sudden it loses it's magic.
Not Magnolia! The waxing is so good that a dear friend of mine -- who happens to be an esthetician -- and I were both talking about how much we loved going to this great little place for Brazilians... and realized we both went to Magnolia! I've sent several friends, and they've loved it, too. The ladies give awesome tips on how to maintain great skin in-between waxes.
And the mani-pedis! I started treating myself to getting them regularly (which is totally affordable, since the pedicures last forever), and ever since I've had people commenting on my nails, asking me where I get them done. Monica does the most beautiful French manicure. Even my boyfriend comments on how great they look, and how they keep looking great all week!
My mom lives in Westchester, but now prefers to get treatments at Magnolia (and she's gone everywhere), after I set her up with a facial, and she said it was the best she'd ever had. I feel the same way. The products are lovely, but its the hands-on work that makes the difference. Gentle, thorough extractions, and a face massage leave you glowing.
If I sound totally over-the-top, oh well! It's how I feel. Every member of the staff is gracious and accommodating, with both their clients and each other. I often find spas awkward and impersonal. Magnolia, small and tucked away, doesn't have the space for huge showers, etc. Instead, it feels like the female equivalent of a barbershop in the 1950's: incredibly dependable and consistent, but also warm and friendly, where the staff takes the time to get to know you, and care about you, individually.
Magnolia Spa has a wonderful, experienced staff, and a great range of treatments, and they always make the effort to make you feel comfortable. Which, (let's face it) when someone's waxing your lady bits, is extremely rare indeed. If you want to treat yourself, go to Magnolia.
Pros: Brazilian, Mani-Pedi, Facial, Awesome Staff

Hello All!
I just had my first facial at Pretty Inside and I have to say it was the best facial, I ever had!! The Pretty Inside staffers were extremely friendly, yet knowledgeble. The spa itself is absolutely gorgeous, yet cozy at the same time. My face feels and looks so smooth and clean. From now on, I have a standing monthly appointment for a Pretty Deluxe Facial and now that I read the great review for the Brazilian Wax, I will add it for next month! And the bonus is, it is right here in Brooklyn. No more schleping into the city to get great spa services

Sooo accommodating. After much encouragement from my friend, I had finally made an appointment for a well-overdue massage at Sage. I was looking forward to it very much. Unfortunately, life threw it's usual curveball straight at me and I found myself in a position that left me unable to keep my appointment. It was 2 days before my scheduled date and I could already smell the incense and oils in my mind. I called and spoke with the owner, explaining my dilema and disappointment. She was very sympathetic and understanding and within a short time I had a new appointment and restored peace of mind. Thank you Susan for bearing with the crazy life of a stressed-out girl. P.S.( In case you're interested- and i know you are- the massage was fantastic! I'll be back.)
Pros: Even though life is sometimes a little irratic...SAGE Spa is more than happy and willing to go with the flow
Cons: none

I've been coming to Bruno Salon & Spa for the past 3 yrs and i have to admit i dont want to go anywhere else!! Bruno has been coloring my hair & i have gotten more compliments on my hair in the past few years then ever before. Bruno has a natural talent for knowing what colors will work with your complexion and your overall look. Bruno has always been very professional, accomodating and is always making sure that you are happy with your look & color.I would recommend him to anyone...he is a natural in this field.
Also, i would like to add the hair stylists and well as the other professionals are very good as well.
Only con i would say is that a few times that i have gotten a mani/pedi i havent been very happy with the service. I've felt rushed in the mani/pedi and i dont think the quality is as good.
But overall, for hair cut color and style, bruno salon & spa is the place to be!!!
Pros: Always a great color, good hair cuts & style
Cons: Mani /Pedi not good

Here's a trick to save a little money! Get the facial and a 30 minute massage. The facials have sooo much massage in them it's like you had a full 60 minute massage by the time youre done. It's not like they are skimping on the facial either. The facialists use the downtime when you are steaming or masking to really rub your feet, hands, calves, arms and scalp. The scalp massage is a-m-a-z-i-n-g. So, book the massage first, end with the facial and it feels like you were there for hours, and you save a little money. I'm totally happy to have found this place!

I have gone to O Spa several times for facials and waxing before and I just recently decided to get the AgeLOC treatment done after the esthetician showed me the clinical studies. The results were amazing and much more than I expected. The wrinkles on my face that used to stand out before are now barely even noticeable and making my face look much younger and smoother. Another reason I found this treatment to be so great is because it lasts much longer than collagen treatments. After the AgeLOC treatment, my face looks and feels great, I would recommend this to anyone who wants their face and skin to look a few years younger. I like the treatment so much that I bought 10.
Pros: friendly, professional staff, very clean

Dharma is a wonderful place to get a massage. The staff (Lauren and Lindsey) are both super nice and really helpful. Before each massage you fill out a form about where you have pain / discomfort / etc. and they talk to you about where you need work and what they think the best approach for your issues are. They also talk to you during the massage to make sure the pressure is good and they are not hurting anything as they work. They are obviously both very well trained in human physiology and really help you to feel better and I highly recommend Dharma Healing Arts!
Pros: Great staff, nice atmosphere, good all around
Cons: None

When you come to get waxed, you want it done well and you want it done fast. A full Brazilian will take you under 7 minutes. It's also nice when it is done for a reasonable price by nice people that make you feel comfortable and safe. The place is clean and the people are no nonsense. Another good part is that you can book an appointment the same day, but they are closed for Jewish holidays. They offer a lot of other services, but I cannot comment on those.

Had an amazing haircut and highlighting. I love their spa and go for facials bi-monthly. They just added on a medi-spa and have a doctor on staff for laser hair removal, dermal fillers and velashape. They did almost everything before and now it is truly spend a day there. I love this place!
