Staff is very friendly. Receptionist answered all of my questions as it was my first time for a massage. The masseuse was also very accomodating. As for technique, I kept asking her to use less pressure but she spoke very limited English. I was in so much pain throughout the massage that I had to grit my teeth. Also, Im extremely ticklish and my muscles kept tensing because of this. I spent the night tossing and turning because of the pain. The muscle ache didnt start to fade for a few days after and during those days of healing, I had limited movement and very little strength. Im a very small woman, 410 tall and 105 lbs and that much pressure can, and did, bruise me. On the other hand, my boyfriend felt wonderful afterwards. Its definitely not for everyone. Consider your own threshold, strength, and intensity levels beforehand.
Pros: inexpensive, atmosphere
Cons: masseuse not good, rough massage

I received a great massage at Graceful Services the other day. I didnt even have an appointment and the staff seemed to work really hard to accomodate me. I can definitely say that I received a great massage at a great deal, as a hour massage is only $60. Only in New York I guess can you find such a good thing.

We all have long and tiresome days and sometimes it takes a little "pick me up" to help us through the day. I received this when I went for a 60 minute massage at this spa. The massage was great and the atmosphere was so pleasant; imagine soft music playing in the background while someone rubs out the stress of your day. I can say that I had a great experience at this spa and would recommend it to anyone looking to escape from their busy life...... if only for 60 minutes.
Pros: Good price

I'm a gal who loves all the bells and whistles of going to a chi-chi spa. This is not Graceful Services. If you have an nagging back or neck ache that Excedrin, Advil, and Tylenol combined can't fix, go to Graceful Services. They make it their mission to knead out all that ails you. They take an almost clinical approach to your painful areas. But be warned, these services are not for the weak and tender. If you can't take a good ole rub down, then don't bother. They mean to loosen that muscle, even if it hurts!

I got couples' massage with my boyfriend. They made us pay up front, wait 10 minutes, cheated us out of time (it was supposed to be 90 minutes but was 85), and hustled us out to usher in another couple. After the massages, the masseuses hung around, clearly waiting for tips. When we gave them each 10%, they snorted and rolled their eyes. They also threw the curtains open while we were undressed.
Afterwards, one of the masseuses told us to go out a side door, but we were still half dressed and hurriedly trying to get our clothes on. Then another couple came in, she slammed the door shut and yelled at us that to go out the back, because we'd waited too long and hadn't left quickly when she told us to.
I wasted $195. I can't believe this place is rated so high. Don't believe the hype.

I've been going to Graceful Services for 2 years. The massage is still the best in NYC, but recently, perhaps as they got busier and more popular, the 60 minute treatments have been cut 5-10 minutes short. The attitudes of the staff has also made a turn for the worse - less attentive and less polite. Hope the fame doesn't get to their head and they continue the great massages and service.
Pros: great massage
Cons: short on time

Qi Gong I don't know what it is and I don't care. All I know is when you come to Graceful Services all tight and stressed out you leave perfectly relaxed. This is hands down the best massage I've ever had and at about $1 a minute it's fairly priced. There is a moment when the women climb on your back and drive thier knees itno you shoulder blades and you reach nirvana. The only drawback is the place is cramped, to many tables crammed in. and the service is so good that without an appointment you are frequntly out of luck. If they moved to a larger space where you could have alittle more privacy this place would rate perect.

Graceful Services is the best value for a massage. They know what they're doing. I would highly recommend a visit.

Don't expect to be pampered. You bascially lay onto the massage table and they will do the work. I felt soo refreshed and relaxed after the massage.
Pros: value, professional
