I am always in search of the perfect massage. I think I have finally found it. For $60.00/hour...you will have an amazing massage. However, if privacy is an issue for you, only a curtain separates you from the client next to you. But, I never seem to have trouble relaxing here and tuning everything else out. It's extremely clean and there is peaceful music to help you relax.
One word to the wise though...the form of massage practiced here is similar to that of a deep tissue massage. They target any knots or points of distress. And some of the techniques even hurt. But, don't be afraid to speak up. You may even a little sore the next day. But after a few visits, you will definitely notice a difference in how you feel.
Definitely give it a try!!
Pros: awesome value, skilled technicians

If you come prepared for a bare bones experience and want a really good massage - you will be delighted. With the affordable price, you can get double the healing as a fancy massage. We are regulars and are never disappointed! One suggestion, bring your own oils or lotions if you'd like to add a little extra touch. Great hours too!

Although there are only curtains separating between you and the next person, the massage is great. At their price, a little less privacy is no problem. Where else are you going to find 1 hour massage for $60? I was there on a Saturday morning. The therapist was running late. They apologized profusely, and they offered me to have the massage done at their spa store downtown at no extra charge ($20 extra normally). And they would pay for the cab fare. The experience ended up being awesome. I literally melted off the table. I would go back there anytime.
Pros: great massage, service and staff
Cons: less privacy

What a pleasure this small, attentive body treatment center is! I come in weighted down by the stresses and strains of city life and leave relaxed and free of aches and anxiety. I have not found more expert therapists in any other spa. And none can match the techniques used to make me feel so good for so long. And all that at bargain prices! I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Pros: expertise, value, attentiveness

I live a quiet life on Long Island in a stree free environment. But occasionally I have to come to the City on business and between the traffic, noise, and of couse the business dealings, I get totally stressed out. That's when a visit to Graceful Services unwinds me. The therapists are great and I leave so relaxed that even the trip home on the LIE doesn't phase me.

My boyfriend and I had a couple's massage appointment at 8:30pm. I told my messeuse about the gnawing pain in my neck and shoulders multiple times. Even repeatedly asked and suggested how to loosen the knot, this guy just pushed his fingers into my shoulder blade and shook my entire body with all his mighty force. I watched the woman who worked on my boyfriend. Her professional skills cannot be compared to the poorly trained American I got. After the bell went off an hour later, we were rushed out the back door without any privacy or communication about their next appointment. I rather take my business to a real spa for the price we paid. This dive is too crammed.

This was my first massage, a gift from a friend, so maybe I did not know what to expect. While some moments were relaxing, overall the experience was very painful. This is despite the fact that I asked the therapist to lighten up several times. Next day, I am still hurting along my spinal chord and feel bruised. She pushed so hard on my back I thought it would crack!

My friend raved to me about G.S., so I decided to check it out. After reading CitySearch reviews, I was prepared for the atmosphere, and didn't find it disruptive (although I went at night, maybe a lighter flow?). I've had Swedish massages in the past, so guess I still need to get use to the Qi-Gong technique. She worked on my back and shoulders for a good 50 minutes and the rest of my body for only about 10. Good if you have a lot of tension there, but certain techniques HURT! The woman working on me always asked if the pressure was ok....I thought it was fine, but today my shoulder blades are pretty sore. Hopefully the toxins are just working their way out of my body!
Pros: cheaper than most, full hour, fast service
Cons: , no privacy
