Elite Day Spa is a full service spa just a stone's throw away from the New York Public Library on 42nd Street. It doesn't claim to be the glammest of establishment, but it gets the job done. I'm faithful to Mara, the proprietor of the spa, as she's quick and can get my services done before my lunch hour is up. But it takes a regular person accustomed to waxing to withstand the speed and efficiency with which she does it.
My friend, however, goes to Angela, who has a gentler touch, proving there's different levels of comfort with each technician. Their prices are reasonable and the service is efficient, making it the perfect beauty pit stop during the work day. It's not quite Bliss Spa, but it does the job.
