Feline Day Spa

This cute cozy little spa tucked into the heart of the Upper West Side, is intriguing, with reasonable prices and a comfortable atmosphere...except the front reception. Pros: Service Professionals are lovely. Cons: Front Desk/ Reception unaccommodating and rude more

My manicure was amazing and lasted for two entire weeks - this with bright red nails. The service was fantastic and the wax treatment they did at the end left my hands feeling super soft. Pros: service more

We took 2 spa packages with message and facial etc. The facial was very nice and enjoyable. The message room was a bit cool, but Monica was fantastic. more

I was looking for a really good salon to go (switching from going to Bliss...way too over-rated, way too expensive!) so i checked out Feline, rated top 4 for facials and it was right in my neighborhood, as a plus. I checked it out and the experience was just as wonderful as I had expected. The service was very attentative from the moment that I made an appt to being treated for a facial. Dorota is the person who gave me an amazing facial and was very honest about what I needed to get and never forced any products on me (a practice way too common in salons like Bliss). I am coming back and doing all my beauty services there like waxing, mani and pedi : ) Pros: Elegant atmosphere, relaxing background music, professionals with lots of experience Cons: Sometimes too busy on weekend (but that's every good salon, right?!) more

I am booking a spa "event" for a friend and I for her birthday celebration. After reading the reviews (good and bad) and the review comment backs, I have to say that Feline Spa has been taken off my list of potential places to drop a decent amount of money. The sheer tone of the comment backs from the 'owner' is a HUGE turn off. It is up to us the reader to decide what we think is legit and what isn't - this is one of the reasons for reviews. If you cannot handle the negative criticism from your customers, you're in the wrong business; you need to roll with the punches sometimes. After reading the the comment back's, had I have gone to Feline, I would have been extremely uncomfortable fessing up to any service that I found unsatisfactory, if this is your demeanor (tone) online - I can only imagine what it is like to encounter it in person. I think at this point I'd rather take my friend and my money to a horrible "hunk-o-mania" club then to chance the doom of Feline. Pros: Seems like the have a lot to offer Cons: Responses from Business - TRAGIC. more

***THINKING ABOUT GOING HERE? READ MY REVIEW FIRST!!*** Pros: Nails were Ok. About what can expect from a corner Salon for $20 Cons: Read above! more

A surprise of a salon on the UWS - Feline Spa is not for cats, it's for adults who want to step out of the rush and bustle of 21st century NY into a gracious reception area where you will be assigned a hair colorist, a masseuse, etc., who will remember your name and treat you with personal attention and space. A rarity these days- spacious, soothing waiting area, coffee and tea and water on tap, private treatment rooms so all of Broadway doesn't have to see you with goop in your hair or on your face. A treat! If loud indistinguishable "house music" and trainees bumping into you and each other in the aisles while you get moved from one "station" to another are not for you, this is the place to be. Pros: Ambience, atmosphere, cleanliness, personal attention, spaciousness Cons: None yet more

After the facialist I had been using for years retired I was at a loss - I must have tried every facialist in NYC... finally I found Lucyna at Feline. There is no one like her. As for massages, Chantal is utterly amazing. Feline is a perfect spa - It is very personal and intimate, unlike many of the factory-like spas around the city, and loyal customers build lasting relationships with their masseuses and aestheticians. My friends and I are loyal Feline customer, and we even celebrated one of our bachelorette parties with a spa day. The staff was amazingly accomodating and it couldn't have been better. I cannot recommend Feline highly enough. Pros: Relaxed Atmosphere, incredible skill, very clean, great staff, no pressure to buy merchandise more

Never before have I been so let down by citysearch reviews. I'm starting to question if these reviews are made by the people who work there because this was by far the worst spa I've gone to while I've lived in New York. Pros: None at all Cons: Explain to me why the woman who does facials needs to grope your chest for 15 minutes?? more

This is how a day spa should be! I went here after years at nail salons for massages and they really made a world of difference. I was calm and collected within minutes. It really is an amazing experience. The owner was very sweet and really took the time to make me feel that I was special. I will most likely never go anywhere but Feline. more

I received a regular manicure, however I didn't find it special or different from a regular nail salon. The manicure quality could have been found from a local nail salon. more

My girl dragged me for my first back wax, I fought her every inch of the way. I expected 40 Year Old Virgin yelling and screaming. We told the woman at the desk it was my first time, that I was pretty nervous. She said trust me, Lucina will be gentle. I wasnt sold. Lucina led me to a powder blue room with soft music. She said to relax and brought me some water with lemon, it felt nice for sure. The first few pulls hurt, but nothing like I expected. Before I knew it she was finished. She applied some soothing lotion, told me how to care for it the first few days and I was on my way. It was so easy. Now my back is smooth as silk. Im definitely coming back in 2 months. I may even go for a facial, with my girl! more

So I wrote a review and the Feline day spa tried to deny that I was writing a review on them. Pros: Honestly? NONE! Cons: No waiting room, no private lockers, no tea or drinks like website states more

Okay, Feline is the best Spa I've come across. And I've been to my fair share in New York, London and Philadelphia. The best! It doesn't have the bells and whistles that you'll find at NYC mini chains like Bliss or even Oasis (like dried fruit trays and lemon water in the waiting room) but who really cares about those details when it comes down to it? It's about the SERVICES. Lucyna gives the BEST facial! She is tireless in her work, and is so methodical in her applications. She caters your facial to your specific skin, and has never pushed products on me. I've been going to her for the past 6 months or so, and I am hooked! My skin looks glowing and refreshed. She is great at extraction. It's also very relaxing. For others who complain about getting a mask put on for 5-10 minutes: HELLO! When have you every had a facial where this didn't happen? They apply the mask, then let it sink in. That is standard among all facials I've ever had. If it bothers you, speak up and ask her to chat with you while the mask penetrates or something. Now on to the massages: Olaf is fantastic for a strong yet relaxing massage. So strong, and not chatty. Just perfect. And yesterday, I had my first massage with Sam. I have to say. THE BEST MASSAGE I'VE EVER HAD. But a word to the weak: this is not a typical relaxing massage. Sam GETS IN THERE. You feel the pain! (He's VERY strong!) At first I was thinking, "This is crazy! He's digging SO hard and it hurts So bad!" But then my muscles started to ease through the pain. Plus, he kept asking if it was too intense. And now? My body has NEVER FELT BETTER!!! I'm a 27 yr old prior athlete and current runner with some aches and tension. I've never been worked out like this before in a massage. I mean, it was absolutely amazing. I feel light and loose. My joints don't ache. Again, it's not a relaxing-let's-doze-off massage. Sam means BUSINESS! So if you're someone who can handle the extremely deep, sometimes painful massage, he's the one for you!! Pros: Massages, Facials and Bikini Waxes. The people who work there! Cons: None! more

I just had the worst experience at this spa other than the fantastic manicure and pedicure by IVAN.... I went for the mini day of beauty which included pedi and mani, facial and a massage... the facial was the biggest rip off of my life... she made me sit under the steam for 20 minutes, did 2 minutes of extractions and put a mask on my face... that's it. I get facials at other spas and have never paid $100 and get nothing in return. The massage was slightly better but still mediocre.... Cerianly not what I expected, it was a big waste of money. I felt like I was robbed... more

The bikini waxing at Feline is extremely professional. I feel very comfortable and the aesthetician works very quickly. I highly recommend Feline for waxing. more

Oh My God...saying this was the WORST SPA/ MASSAGE experience in my life is putting it lightly. This place is a TOTAL RIP OFF. Me and my friend just left ASTONISHED and SHOCKED asking each other what in the world just happened. Plus We DID NOT get the same treatment/experience (Let me ADD BOTH were BAD) yet we chose the same massage and time limits. Normally City search is very accurate for things i looked at, but only looking at the stars for Feline this time was a BIG MISTAKE because after my experience, I KNOW all the good reviews for Feline are FAKE . When first walking into the building, the cashier will point to a closet a few feet away from her for you to put your jacket into(I should of left my jacket on because there was a sign basically saying they are not responsible for you stuff)plus to the left is the waiting area and YES you will feel the cold draft from the front door opening and closing. There are NO REAL LOCKER ROOM, NO PRIVATE LOCKERS for you to put your stuff into,NO CHANGING AHEAD OF TIME, NO SEPERATE MALE LOUNGE for male customers or your BF/husband to wait in and NO LOUNGE for YOU to relax in and wait till the massause comes (which was late by the way) Just a cold waiting room that you share with both genders. My 1 hr massage was probably 50 mins TOPS! Including my wait time, walk to the massage room, changing out of my clothes/shoes, getting settled in the table and waiting for the women to walk back into the room) The Massage ROOM was COLD?the ambiance HORRIBLE, along with a noisy radiator . The only place I had to leave all my belongings was one dirty chair in the same room. Don?t bother saying you had less than 1hr or stating your real experience, that will gets you a rude..."It's suppose to be 55mins" (the website says otherwise btw) The staff are rude and give dirty looks...NO you DO NOT GET the FULL TIME you paid for. I prefer to give them NO stars.This place is a TOTAL JOKE.... Don't be fooled...STAY AWAY, Don't be their Next Victim Pros: You learn to appreciate you spa experiences at other places Cons: Bad Massage(Feels more like an oil coating), Rude Staff, Dirty Looks more

I visited this spa over the holidays as a result of all the positive reviews on Citysearch and it was the worst spa experience I've ever had. The Women?s locker room had dirty robes and flip flops piled in front of the sauna. The woman told us to change and abruptly left the room, never once communicating to us where the clean robes and flip flops were and where to go when we were changed. We expected to be shown to a relaxation room of some sort which is standard for every spa that we?ve visited in NYC, but instead, we were directed to sit down in the front lobby next to the main door of the spa that opens out into the street. The lobby was freezing because the door was constantly being opened and closed and we waited for a solid 15 minutes before anyone even approached us to let us know when are services would begin. The facial was the worst I have ever received. The facialist left the room four times during my service, didn?t ask me for a history of my skin and never once told me what she was doing or why. From the start I told the woman that I had very sensitive skin, yet during the extraction process of the facial, she applied a great deal of force to my cheek and nose area that left me with broken capillaries, bruising and two large blisters on my face. The massage I received was nothing special. The massage therapist never asked which type of massage I wanted, where I would like him to concentrate or how the pressure was during the massage. The room was freezing and toward the end of the massage, he got paraffin in my hair which was difficult to remove once I was home. When we went to check out, the woman at the counter tried to charge me extra for the Oxyblast during the facial, though it was listed as a part of the spa package. Overall, my experience was horrible. The communication by the staff members was terrible and the services are not tailored to your needs. Citysearch has never steered me wrong before, but this time, it was a gigantic miss. Cons: Poor customer service and communication more

I wanted to buy my boyfriend a massage for Christmas and the women on the phone and at the desk were polite and courteous. They answered all of my questions concerns. Spa looked beautiful and was immaculately clean. more

I have come here twice for pedicures. Ada gives a wonderful pedicure and is very meticulous. This is one of the few places I have found that do a thorough job and make your feel look and feel beautiful. I have yet to try their other services, but would like to! Pros: great pedicures !, friendly staff Cons: a little pricey more
