Some Day Spas in Bay Ridge had arrests for being creepy salons, but there are a lot of great ones out there for a good massage:
In Bay Ridge:
1. Lavender Body Work 7504 – 3rd Ave (between 75th and 76th Streets). Full body – $40 for an hour. A lot of people go here because they also have a punchcard that allows you to score a free massage.
2. Bruno Salon and Spa -6911 Shore Road. I know three female friends who went here this Summer and said they got a good massage. Bruno has a deal for $34 for an hour massage. See here.
3.Tang Spa called Tang Dynasty Wellness Inc. – they used to be at 7406 – 5th Avenue – near Gino’s, but they moved to 7720 – 5th Avenue (See here)
4) Rejuvenate Beauty and Spa – 405-92nd Street. Friends went here for the 1 hour $50 massage
This is next to the BP Gas station or across the street from where Pizzeria Unos used to be.
5) King Spa 7905 – 5th Avenue – a friend went and said they gave good massages. My friend did a smaller package that is not listed on their website (see below) so it was cheaper – just a back massage. Kings Massage is across from Skinflints Bar.
6) Salon Da Noi & Spa 8214 5th Avenue, Brooklyn 11209 – Barbara or Stewart. They have a peppermint stone massage that is pretty good. Super Relaxing. 718-491-3000 Closed on Monday – closes early on Sunday.
7) Green Spa – Vanessa – Very good – not cheap deep muscle (Beth leftand went here, but also does home visits – see below. Beth gives the *BEST* massage) – Green Spa gives massages to both men and women. 88th Street and 3rd Avenue 718-921-6100. Closed on Monday. Closes at 5 pm on the weekend. $105 an hour – there are different types of massage, see: here. Also check their specials because they change those regularly.
1) Green Nature 1931 86th Street – strong massage, no frills (no aromatherapy) massage $25 a half hour or $40 an hour (slightly noisy from subway) Green Nature Inc. 1931 – 86th Street – 2nd Floor
Groupon always has deals for spas.Some of them are cheesy, but they are usually very good because they are using Groupon to attract new customers. I’ve noticed that a lot of places will be great on the first Groupon visit, but then leave things out like the hot stones or towels on the later visits. But they are cheap and sometimes that’s what is needed! Heavenly Bodywork was first on Groupon and a lot of people discovered it from that.
