I took advantage of a May special Graceful Spa was having and the price was great. However, I am used to being pampered and feeling "like a Queen" when I go to any spa, which is not what you get at Graceful Spa. Don't expect your traditional massage for relaxation, it is a Chinese massage w/lots of pressure points and some pain. There are no individual rooms, just one large room separated by curtains, and I felt rushed to get the massage started as the massage therapist kept standing outside my curtain asking to come in. There are definitely no frills but if you don't care about that, this might be the place for you. Pros: Good technique Cons: No individual rooms, No Frills, You Feel Rushed

I was kind of skeptical about graceful spa after reading some of the reviews on this site. I reconized that the pro's out weight the con's so, I gave them a shot. I must say; I was rather impressed with their massage. The staff was friendly and the sound of silence filled the air. There was not much to the decor of the spa or any champange but, the massage was superb. Pros: Inexpensive, Quality massage Cons: No frills

I have been a client of graceful services for 2 years. At first, it was great, wonderful massages and a good bargain. I must say that the last 5 times I have gone - it has been getting worse and worse. Last time I went was HORRIBLE, the massage was more like a soft rub. This place has gone downhill. I am no longer going to give them the benefit of the doubt just because they used to be good. Too bad. Also- I paid for an hour and at the end of the appointment I checked the time- my massage was only 45 mins. Honestly- I was happy for it to be over that I didn't even care. Pros: used to be good Cons: no longer is

A friend booked us massages last Saturday. When we arrived they had 1 appt, not 2. We were told to wait. After 5 mins they said they could see me, then my friend. More waiting. Finally a manager came out & said not only could they not fit us both, they couldn't even accomodate one of us! They could fit us both 4 HOURS LATER! The offer was inconvenient at best so we declined. The reply - NOTHING - the manager just walked away. I asked for a refund on my cc, the reply again - NOTHING. The receptionist grabbed my card & said 'sign here'. Scheduling errors happen. Being rude & unprofessional shouldn't. Not once did we receive an apology. I'd heard great things about the place, however, it was always about the price, never the service, which I've discovered now is graceless. You get what you pay for. Pros: Price Cons: Rude Service, Crowded, Dingy

I thought this place was great. There is nothing fancy about it (there has to be a reason the prices are so low), but it is still a quiet, peaceful place with soothing music. The receptionist was lovely and helpful, and my masseuse was no joke--she attacked my knots and muscles--and she managed to work out the majority of my knots and aches. I will definitely go back again and recommend it to friends.

I visited this spa for the first time the other day for a one hour massage and it was amazing. I was very impressed with the easy flow of this spa considering its small space. I also enjoyed the fact that I was not pressed to buy products after my massage, because there are not any there to buy. This business focuses on excellent massage, so if that's what you are looking for I highly suggest it. Pros: inexpensive, great massage

I"ve been to a lot of the spas in the city and the first time i visited Graceful Services, i found the atmosphere to be interesting. All though the room r not so private the massage was jsut so amazing i did not want to get up from the table, so I added another hour massage. For the price its worth it, so i did. Pros: great price, skilled therapist

I went to this place 3 times. Their regular and Hot Stone massage were great. However, the third time, I was not that impressed. Hands of the masseus are so rough. I couldn't relax for the whole time because I just felt like a cat scratching my back and didn't know what to tell her. I tried their facial but was very disappointed because they are not using anything special prodect. I that they just bought regular products from Duane Reade and used it to clean my face and she massaged too much. I ended up waking up the next morning with the dark spot under my eyes because she kept rubbing it there and my skin feels exactly the same. Highly recommended for massage not facial. Pros: Great Price , Great massage Cons: Bad Facial , Bad product

The hardest decision you'll have to make is what type of massage to get. The Japanese and Swedish styles are different, but equally effective. The best option is to set up a series of massages, and try the different types to see which is best for you. The atmosphere in the massage room is really relaxing, so you feel like you've gotten away when you haven't left NYC.

It's pretty interesting that the name of this place is Graceful Services since the service is anything but. I went here for the first time a couple days back and the first thing I noticed was how angry the masseuses looked. Not sure why. They really didn't make any sort of effort to be nice or make any eye contact. The massage itself was average, I've definitely had much better massages in the city. Also as the other review said, I think they are cheating on the massage time here. I believe there is another location on 14th Street, perhaps they treat their customers better over there. I will not be returning here.
