mamazilla79

I received a gift package for a 90 min. massage and the ultimate healing mani & pedi for Mother's Day. I had an amazing experience! The masseuse really works on your trouble spots and she got all my knots out. Everyone is professional, warm, and courteous. The staff really makes you feel comfortable. The atmosphere is very serene and calming. The only thing I have to complain about is the changing room. It is small however adequate. I can't wait to go back to try a facial and enjoy another massage!

Pros: Friendly staff, excellent service

Cons: small changing room

Ratings_icons Best Facial and 60-Min Massage

runner3

I have gotten only 3 other facials prior to my facial at Ohm (1 at Bliss Soho, which was the worst, and 2 at Glow, which were great), but the Ohm one was by FAR the best. My facialist was the sweetest person ever and really took time to explain my skin to me. I wasn't sure which facial to get, so I asked her opinion, and she was very careful to recommend some facials and also let me know about prices. I loved how she didn't push products on me but still answered all my products-related questions. The best part of the facial was the result--I had glowing skin and no horrible red marks. I also have gotten a deep tissue massage at Ohm and it was AMAZING. I always need really strong (almost painful) pressure, but the 60-min deep-tissue massage surpassed all of my previous massages. The only disappointment I had was the 30-min targeted massage, which was so light that I barely felt anything at all, even though I had mentioned to her I like really hard massages. I seriously kept thinking that the massage couldn't have possibly started b/c it felt like the masseuse was simply figuring out my alignment or something, but then 30 min later I realized that the massage was over. At least the masseuse was so friendly and nice! Everything else at the spa is so great though that I think I will keep going back and just not opt for the targeted massages.

Pros: Super friendly staff, no product pushing, very knowledgeable staff, ambiance, good prices

Cons: targeted massage, small locker room

i received an all day package at ohm spa (mani, pedi, massage, facial) as a gift and LOVED IT! professional, courteous service and the absolute best massage i have EVER had... and i've had a lot - specifically in ny, la and vegas. masseuse understood and relieved my back problems and was kind, quiet and knowing. i will definitely go back! the tipping policy is the only questionable thing about this spa.

I apologize if I'm spelling her name wrong. But yes, yesterday was the 2nd time I visited Ohm spa and I must say with Bretta 60mins go by as if it were 5! After enzyme exfoliation and extractaions my pimples from the montly evil we all have are all gone! In 10 hours they are gone like magic leaving no trace of life! Bretta is sincere, sweet and talks enough to keep you company but not so much to bother you (as a result I always fall alseep and wake up in a heavenly blur, a good blur)
I am so glad that I started coming here. Hoorah Ohm =)

millebaci

This has to be, hands down, the best spa I have ever been to. The spa is so quiet and peaceful that you feel calm and relaxed as soon as you walk in the door. They take you into the lounge that has beautiful, plush seats that when you sit down you instinctly curl your legs up under you as if you are home on your own couch. Next, you fill out a questionnaire that allows you to mark the locations of your aches and pains so the therapist will know all of you "sore spots." The massage itself was heaven and I have had tons of massages. The therapist was amazing, managing to release knots in my neck and back. She constantly made sure that I was comfortable and that her pressure was just right for my body. I almost fell asleep during the massage! I highly, highly, highly, recommend this spa when you are looking for rest, relaxation and the best massage you will ever experience!

Pros: massage was custom designed for my body

Cons: i can't have one every day

Ratings_icons Great Massage, got the kinks out

happiness1234

Had a couples massage here a few months ago with my boyfriend. Really friendly staff and great massage. My back is always killing me, and my masseuse (I think her name was Tiffany) got all the kinks out and I felt 1000 times better than when I had walked in. Complimentary cookies and juices were very nice, and overall a nice relaxing atmosphere. Very small locker room and didnt have the amenities that a lot of other spas (that charge similar prices) have, such as sauna, whirlpool, or even shower. But regardless, if you're not looking for frills, but a good massage, this was very very nice.

Pros: great massages, friendly staff, nice ambiance

Cons: small locker room, no shower, sauna or other similar extras

It is amazing that such a tranquil place could exist in such a loud and busy part of the city. I can't wait to go again. We have an incredible time. The only thing I would change is to forego the mani/pedi and get an extra 30 minutes of massage instead.

Pros: Great atmosphere and staff.

Cons: A bit on the pricey side, especially the mani/pedi.

Jonathan and Kathy are the owners, but you'd never know it! They volunteer that info and they don't just act like part of the bureaucracy... they just seem like happy employees - in fact, EVERYONE was quite friendly and inviting. My husband and I had (belated) Valentine's dual hot stone massages. Incredible!! The waiting area is tastefully decorated and has an array of snack, beverages and magazines. Once your eyes got adjusted (it's a little dimmed down - perfect!), you are able to sit on those bomfy chairs and sip tea (or lemonade or citrus-infused water) and nosh on crackers (or fruit or chocoate cookies!). You can easily fall asleep, it's that quiet. Although you usually aren't alone (it seats 5 or 6), even the other guests/clients are polite and good-natured. I chatted with a man who had received a facial (his wife's gift to him), and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Massages are not cheap, but they aren't half your salary either. I think we paid $120 per person for the hot stone massage (early March 2007), which was $5-10 less than most spas. I see that OHM now has wine Wednesdays (Jonathan mentioned that was something coming), and I will definitely return soon!! Cheers!

Pros: SERVICE SERVICE SERVICE! Very easy to relax and let goooooo...

Cons: Busy neighborhood (you can't hear the noise, thankfully!), lack of parking (so take the subway)

Ratings_icons The Spa That You Travel From Boston to NY For

tiffanylynette

Well I am a personal assistant and to be honest sometimes you want to go where you send your boss. So I searched the world wide web and came across OHM SPA. My poor feet really needed some love and boy did they get them on Sunday March 25, 2007. I was actually running late as I was traveling from Boston to NY. I called and informed Ms. Ashley, the young lady at the front desk. She was so sweet she just said take your time and get here when you can. My appointment was at 5:30 and that's the exact time that I got there. Upon arrival Kathy greeted me, took my coat and my shoes and made me feel so welcomed. They then put a movie on "The Holiday" which was great. Ms. Ashley asked me if I wanted tea, water or lemonade. The lemonade was delicious. They took time and let me choose the color I wanted for my toes and Ada took my tired and aching my feet to Pedicure Heaven. She really did. She was sweet, sensitive to my desires and made sure all of my needs were met. OHM Spa has a number of services I would like to try and in due time I will. Jonathan and Kathy have created what New York has so desperately needed. OHM Spa is truly a peace of heaven on earth.

Pros: Everyhing from the time you walk in until the time you leave.

Cons: There is not an OHM SPA in Boston.... HUH!!!!!

I heard about this spa through this site and it was as good if not better than what people had written. The spa is immaculate, quiet and peaceful. The staff were warm and very personable. There was no sales pressure, and I didn't feel like they were rushing me out of there as some spas do to get to the next client. I would highly recommend Ohm Spa to anyone who wants to de-stress! I plan on going back to try a massage in the near future!

Pros: Great service, nice staff, reasonably priced

Cons: I couldn't come up with one!

This past weekend we had a bachlorette party for our 'bride to be' at Ohm spa. It was wonderful! the massages, pedicure, and manicure where AMAZING! All of the massages were different, geared towards each of our specific problem areas and needs. The therapist was great, very skilled, polite, & helpful.

The spa setting was perfect for our party, and the service is unmatchable! The prices are resonable & they don't hound you to purchase there products like I've experienced at some spas. Kathy (the co-owner) took care of us...schedulued our services perfectly so that we had time for girl talk, and made sure that we were taking care of. It was perfect and the bride to be...can't stop bragging about how great her bachlorette party way! It was a wonderful time and I plan on returning to Ohm

Ratings_icons Best facial on the planet

tracieacnp

I had my first facial at Ohm Spa a couple of weeks ago. I had read many reviews about Nadia being the best so I made an appt with her. Unfortunately, she no longer works there, so I agreed to see Paula for my facial. All I can say is wow. I walked in and the receptionist was sincerely nice and hospitable. It wasn't one of those fake sales kind of nice. She struck up a conversation and we chatted while she showed me to the locker room, where I donned a very comfortable wrap and robe and slippers. She then took me to the waiting area that was gorgeous. The room was dimly lit with soothing music to set the mood and to allow my mind to forget the bitter cold outside. Different waters and lemonade were on a gorgeous display as well as snacks. The Japanese fighting fish were also very beautiful and calming. I didnt have to wait more than 5 minutes until Paula took me into the treatment room. We started our session with deep breathing and then she began my wonderful treatment. I chose the manuka honey facial, which was amazing. She thoroughly cleansed my face, massaged my arms, back, shoulders, face, and got me completely relaxed. I was completely limp with relaxation after the session. The extractions were not painful and she did not push any product on me at all. She was gracious and said that she could recommend a product if I would like to hear about it, which I did. She gave me a written skin cleansing schedule, which I now use. My skin was glowing and felt amazing. I cannot say enough great things about Paula! I love her.

I ended my day with a manicure. I had read a few complaints but I have to tell you that my manicurist was amazing as well. She was very attentive and I had a wonderful hand rub and manicure. The whole experience was amazing. Although some have said that its a bit pricey, I truly feel that it was worth every dime. I intend to go for bimonthly Take care of me facials. I recommend you go as well.

Pros: Amazing staff, service, and ambience. Paula is a God send

Cons: None. You get what you pay for so not even the price is bad.

Ratings_icons Best Treatment!

yuree

I went to OHM SPA over the weekend and the service was terrific!
The selective music, neat fish bowls, candles, and the scent made the atmosphere so peaceful.
As soon as I walked in, I felt very relaxed. I went to the wating room and the room was so nicely decorated, I did not want to leave the room. I waited for 5 minutes and was taken to the treaetment room with two big flat screen TVs.
I got a pedicure and a manicure and it was worth every single dollar that I have paid, maybe more than that. The nail technician was concerend about my skin type (I am very dry skin) and instead of using scrubs during the service, she used oil on my skin. I felt very special and could tell that they were extra caring. After the treatment, my nails looked very pretty and neat, AND my skin was also shiny and soft!
So, if you want to have a beautiful and healthy looking hands and feet, you should definitely go to OHM SPA, a place where they care about you! Oh! and their pedicure chair was amazing! The chair gave me a massage while I was getting my pedicure, and it almost put me into sleep! Everybody should definitley check this place out!

onetallblonde

I finally got to use a gift card I received for Christmas and I am sooo glad I did. I had a 60-min deep tissue massage and then a manicure and pedicure and I feel like a whole new woman! The massage was extremely thorough, not like that fluffy stuff you get from the cheap places. This woman (I think her name was Nikki or Nicole) worked me firmly, but not to the point where I was in pain. Just before I was about to tell her to ease the pressure a little, she did so as if she read my mind. Next came the manicure/pedicure and I was extremely impressed. I had only ever gone to my local nail place, but the service at Ohm is definitely worth the trip. The lady was very sweet and unlike the quickie nail places, she was completely focused on me the whole time. Their pedicure chairs are amazing! Now that I know how nice it can be, I don't think I can go back to my local place. Overall, a wonderful experience. I would definitely go back.

Pros: massage, manicure, pedicure

abblyn26

I've had many facials in my life and am very particular about who I let do them. After moving to the city, it was time to find a facialist here. After a lot of research, the only thing that stuck in my mind were the rave reviews about Nadia. So I made my appointment at Ohm. This was hands down the best faciai I've ever had. Nadia knew all about my skin just by looking at it. She didn't push any of the expensive products on me. She told me (in her very calming voice) that she believes all products works as long as you use them correctly. The extractions didn't hurt at all and I didn't leave red. I got so many compliments that night and the next day that my skin was glowing! I highly highly recommend Nadia!!

moratche

I've never been to a spa before thus finding the "perfect" place in a city flooded by great recommendations was one tough decision to make. I came across "OHM SPA" doing my research in CitySearch. Out of thousands and thousands of Spas cited, OHM SPA had the most positive feedbacks, comments I've read. Therefore, it wasn't long and I was booking an appointment for a dual massage with my BFF.
My experience at OHM started over the phone when I called to make the appointment: the treatment over the phone was excellent; the staff is very friendly and welcoming. These factors are very important when attempting to lure new clients. Once at OHM, Kathy, the manager was extremely welcoming and she made us feel right at home. The place has a very Zen vibe to it; it's well lit and very clean.
My masseuse was Dara and she was great! She was very attentive when I explained the troubled areas; thus, she applied the right pressure where needed.
To end my review, I'd say that although their prices might be a bit steep in the pocket, it was worth every dollar spent on it. I'll most definitely come back!!!
Keep up the great job!

Thank you!

Love spas! Recently had a gift certificate and finally got to use to it. Loved my massage with Adam. I was a bit nervous to have a massage by a guy as it was my first time, but it will definitely not be my last. Wish I can afford the prices to go on a regular visit but will have to do this on a more bi monthly as i love my shoes!! :) Adam listened to my needs and mixed up the massage and really put his energy into it! Thank you Adam...u r an angel! Also had a facial with Paula, and I guess its a make or miss with her.

I have been going to Ohm spa to get facials with Paula for about 6 months. The spa is clean and all of the staff are really accommodating and friendly. Paula is especially great and makes you feel so comfortable. She is so gentle and thorough and pays close attention to detail. I have been to other places where they yell at you for not taking care of your skin and they are really rough. Paula gives advice about what to do for home care and it really works! My face glows for weeks after I have a treatment. I have been recommending Paula to everyone I know.

Ratings_icons still recommended, but disappointed at recent changes

unsoho

Last weekend, I took my sister in to Ohm Spa after having a wonderful experience there with a girl friend of mine a few months ago. The service staff are delightful, friendly and the owner and his wife are very hands-on. The first time I was there, the owner's wife even plopped herself on the floor to repaint my pedicure that she found sub-par.

Since my last visit, the prices are about 20% higher than they were. I started coming here from another spa in the area whose prices were comparable. Ohm wins by a landslide for ambience and a general atmosphere of relaxation-- not to mention lovely decor-- but the manicure/pedicure services continue to disappoint me. Last time and this time, my manicurist/pedicurist did such a terrible job-- left a large border of unpainted nail and parts of the paint bubbled up as it was drying!-- that it isn't a wonder the owner redid them the first time I went in. At $50 a pedicure, it's definitely not worth having nail services done here.

My facial and massage were good and relaxing, but not stellar, particularly considering the prices. There are other spas in the area, like Finesse Day Spa, that may not be as well decorated, but have better service for a more reasonable price.

I'm sad that Ohm Spa had to raise their prices. I'd recommend it if money is no object, just for the lovely staff, but there are more reasonable spas in the area with much better service.

Pros: friendly staff, ambiance

Cons: poor mani/pedi services, poor value:price ratio

Ratings_icons Very Unhappy Experience with Paula

nyfingal

I really feel bad that I have to write this review as my previous facial with Nadia was a wonderful experience. Nadia was attentive, professional, extremely knowledgeable and truly made me feel as though I was her only client. The advice and skincare products suggested were perfect for my skin. I felt like I was taken away from the stress of my day at the bank. I have had treatment at very high end Spas since my teen years and truly feel this was one of the best experiences I've had.
I recently dropped into Ohm again after work and unfortunately Nadia was not available so they recommended I see Paula. This was not an experience I care to remember. From the beginning I noticed that the area seemed cluttered, as though someone had just left and she didn't have time to clean or prepare for the next person. Paula also wouldn't stop talking and trying to sell products...very pushy. I mean I'm not trying to be mean but I felt more stressed when I left then when I arrived. During the facial I also had to recommend certain steps to her that Nadia did with me and had a wonderful effect on my skin. Paula seemed like she just wanted me out of the room and was willing to skip steps to make that happen. When it was FINALLY over I looked in the mirror and noticed my skin was extremely blotchy and was sore from the rough treatment. I was so so upset. My skin was a mess for a few days after the treatment.
Ohm spa is a beautiful place and I will continue to recommend it to friends...JUST MAKE SURE YOU GET NADIA...she's like taking a wonderful vacation...Paula, on the other hand, was like a trip to the dentist.

We held my BFF's bachelorette party here and we all had a fantastic time. I was able to book everything about a month in advance. I didn't realize the person who I had been working with was the co-owner of the spa until towards the end of our party. She was very helpful and considerate of our needs. Everyone who we came in contact with at the spa was very nice. It's definitely not one of those spas that make you feel uncomfortable or the employees there are snooty. It was very relaxing and we all had a good time. They even set up a table for us so that we could all sit around afterwards and have a snack together and they didn't rush us out. I'm six and a half months pregnant and everyone was helpful and made sure that I was comforable. I think the prices of all their treatments are very good and am definitely looking forward to going back after I have my baby! Thanks, Kathy!

casperone

It's only been recently that I have started to frequent spas in NYC (I am a male). Having been to a few, Ohm Spa is definitely the best that I have been to by far. The space is not cramped, but rather warm, and serene. It is obvious that the owners put a great deal of thought into the environment. Of course, that's not the only reason one goes to a spa. I received a 90 minute signature massage which pretty much melted my muscles and left me wanting for more. That was followed up by a paraffin hand and foot treatment (which they use premade hand and foot bags for, which means the temperature is just right) and a waxing. It was my first trip to Ohm spa, but that very same day, I booked my next session, as I was not able to experience a facial. Definitely recommended. Everyone on the staff, from the owners to the technicians were incredibly friendly and warm. Combine all this and I can't see a reason I wouldn't go back, or recommend it to someone else. Definitely a must-try.

Pros: Interior aesthetics, skilled technicians, warm, friendly service

Cons: None

I live in NY and have been to OHM spa twice so far. The first time I had the Manuka honey facial done by Nadia. My skin was in really bad shape at the time as I was going through some serious stress. Nadia was just amazing. Not only did she do a great job with the treatment itself, but she also took the time to go over some do's and dont's which were quite valuable. My skin has since been in great shape- stress or not, I just know how to take better care of it. Of course I went back for more and was just as equally impressed. Thanks Nadia, and see you again soon.

I went to NY for a business trip and took a Friday off as I waited for my husband to fly into the city for a fun weekend. I indulged in a 4 hour "head to toe" package. The price was reasonable, the atmosphere low key and relaxing. The staff was friendly without being pushy. Nadia gave me the best facial I have ever had. To use a cliche, my face glowed afterwards (the honey treatment was heavenly). The massage was peaceful and they placed a small strip of fabric with an aromatherapy scent under my nose which helped me from getting congested.

My skin was so dry from vacation but after that, it got much better and now it went back to normal skin. She recommended products for my skin but they didn't really push to buy anything. I got really relaxing time in OHM spa and Nadia's energy healed me a lot! Great place. The only bad thing was I had to wait a while.

jaims787

I have been going to Ohm Spa for about a year, having the Manuka Honey Facial monthly with Paula. I consider myself somewhat of a "spa expert" being that I own a beauty public relations firm. I have been to the top spas and top aestheticians and I truly find Paula at OHM to be the BEST. She is very gentle, yet thorough and though I need some deep pore cleansing, I never wince a bit. I have tried everything from prescription creams to lasers to eliminate blackheads and breakouts, and Paula's facials seem to be the only remedy. I walk out with glowing skin and my make-up glides on so nicely. The atmosphere is soothing and serene and of course spotless. Everyone at Ohm is extremely helpful and kind and they DO NOT push products like most spas. They just make suggestions, and I have to say that every product I did buy, I LOVED. I have recommended Paula to many friends and they have all been thrilled with the results.

Pros: Facials with Paula, Great ambiance, Warm staff

I've received massages regularly for over 20 years and I would say that Ohm Spa ranks among the best I've had. I agree with others that the changing area is small, but the quality of their massages, the attentiveness of the staff and the beauty/cleanliness of the spa more than make up for it.

Pros: massages are like being in heaven, great attention to detail, cleanliness

Update: I was recently informed by one of the owners that Nadia no longer works there...she will be missed!!! I'd love to know if she has moved to another spa...

As a newly minted spa-addict, I must say that my experiences at Ohm exemplify the term "service with a smile". The staff and the owner go out of their way to be extremely sweet and accommodating, and they seem to take customer service seriously, unlike some other spas. There's no haughty attitude here. The spa itself is very well decorated, with soft music adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The waiting room is cozy and dimly lit, with comfy chairs, magazines, a wide assortment of crackers and cookies to munch on while you wait for your service, and jars of fruit-infused water. I had a 60 minute custom facial with Nadia that was extremely thorough and efficient. She explained every step of the facial and discussed my skincare routine. She cleansed, steamed, and scrubbed to perfection, adding a few masks in the process. I was surprised that after all the extractions there was no redness to speak of right after the facial or on the next day. You might get a tinted moisturizer applied after the facial is done, which might explain the "makeup on forehead" comment on one of the earlier reviews here. The mani/pedi space is awesome, but I found their selection of polish colors lacking. The changing room is extremely small, there is no proper "locker room" with showers, etc., and they offer no body treatments besides massage, which is a pity. Overall, I'm sure you?ll have a relaxing experience here and wonder why you ever put up with snotty attitudes at other Manhattan Spas. Ohm is definitely a keeper!!!

Pros: Great ambience and service, fantastic facials

Cons: Tiny changing rooms, no body treatments, limited polish selection

I have been to Ohm spa 3 times and my experience gets better and better. First off, I have been to every spa you can think of and I havent met a better person to do my facials than Nadia. She is so knowledgeable and really takes a personal interest in the appearance of your skin. The first time I had a facial with Nadia, I had a bad case of acne and she recommended a skin care regimen for me. I followed her advice and saw serious improvements in my skin. When I saw her again (it's impossible to get appts with her so book fast)-- it was 3 months later. She remembered me perfectly and was so happy that my skin had progressed!! I love it there and I love her. Ohm spa truly cares and I HIGHLY recommend this place. They know what they are doing and trust me believe the reviews you read for this place.

Pros: No pressure to buy products, Ambience, Service

Cons: Space is slightly small, difficulty to get appts

I have had a hard time finding a spa in the city, that is fairly priced, and a great experience...until I went to Ohm Spa. I loved hanging out in the wating room, eating cookies, drinking flavored water, and hearing the soft relaxing music. I had an appointment with Nadia. She was the most wonderful person. She was annentive to my skin, exfoliated, moisturized, buffed, scraped, picked, I mean the whole nine. I came out so refreshed, relaxed, and my skin looked great! I highly recommend Ohm Spa. It was awesome!

Pros: Kind service, relaxing atmostphere

Cons: may be too pricey for some people

As a birthday present, my boyfriend got me the "Ultimate" package at Ohm Spa including a manuka honey facial, deep tissue massage, and mani/pedi. The facial with Nadia was absolutely top notch! She was so in tune with my skin and my concerns...she could even tell from my skin that I had had a drink the night before! Unlike many aestheticians that make you feel badly about how poorly you treat your skin, she was extremely positive and focused on all the things that I could do to make it better. It was relaxing and effective all at once. She steamed, cleansed, massaged, extracted, masked, moisturized, etc. Then I had a few minutes until my massage so I hung out in the lounge in my bath robe, reading magazines and driniking fruit infused water. Had some salty and sweet snacks, including fruit, crackers, and cookies. My deep tissue massage was also a success. She really focused on the spots that I pointed out. Mani and pedi were also a treat. i had paraffin on my hands and some tingly moisturizing potion on my legs. Pedicure was very thorough. My only complaint is that the manicure was a bit sloppy and polish did not last very long. Oh well, a small price to pay for a day of luxury! Overall, I say RUN there for facials and a massage--manicures not so much.

Pros: great atmosphere, super attentive service, AMAZING facials

Cons: manicure polish messy

The other reviews don't lie, this spa is a standout gem! My massage, facial and mani/pedi were glimpses of perfection and erased about 12 months of stress in one relaxing day. Seriously, my back pain from the over-stuffed bag is gone and the gunk in my over-stuffed pores is also but a bad memory now! All the treatments were relaxing, refreshing and performed with the utmost professionalism. My only regret is that I ate too many yummy oreos in the lounge...but I can't blame Ohm for that!

Pros: Super friendly staff, on-time, lovely

My girlfriends and I just got back from a weeklong trip to NY. We are still raving about our trip as a whole but especially about our TWO trips to Ohm spa. Our first day in the Big City we pampered ourselves with spa mani/pedis. We immediately felt welcomed and our treatment specialists were really great! The spa itself is immaculately clean and very relaxing. The receptionist (which I believe is also the owner) went out of her way to recommend a few of her favorite places we could have lunch. We loved our entire experience so much we decided to book one more time before we left for home. (After walking around Manhatten for a week a massage was definitely needed!) Once again, at the time we placed the call and when we arrived, we were warmly greeted and made to feel like "regulars". You can tell that the staff really enjoys their job and likes working there. My girlfriend said her massage was the best she'd ever had! All four of us highly recommend Ohm Spa to anyone in need of a little pampering. We will certainly return when we visit NY again!

I have to say that I've been to many spas around the world (I travel a lot for work and always slip in a spa visit) but the massage that I had at Ohm was one of the best I can remember. Most massages are good, but the experience I had there (I think her name was Tiffany) was really exceptional. During the massage, we really formed a connection and it was as if she was "speaking" to my body with her hands. I've had a lot of massages where they just use a generic routine, but she really addressed my pain and I felt tremendous relief afterwards. The spa is beautiful too. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank you!

Pros: massage, decor, location

This place has been one of my favorite indulgences ever since I got to NY. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxation and everyone I've met on staff is sweet and kind. Being a dancer, I've always received massages to keep my body going, but the experience at Ohm goes beyond that. I always seem to walk out of there more mentally and emotionally recharged as well. No sales pressure, no attitude - just a comfortable place to unwind and be treated. Its a very nurturing environment. I just wish I had the budget to go there more often!

Pros: massages, pedicures and waxing

citygirl1978

The people here were very friendly, but my facial started 45 minutes late and there was barely an apology. It's not too fun being in a robe sitting in a waiting room with other people-including men! I read every magazine there. Also, I broke out severely after the facial, which has never happened to me.

I found Ohm on citysearch and promptly signed up for a Manuka Honey Facial with Nadia. The experience exceeded my expectations 10-fold. I have very sensitive skin and have had some bad experiences in the past. Nadia listened to all my concerns and addressed them promptly. My skin has never been more radiantly clean. I have already signed up for my next visit and I plan to visit regularly.

Pros: Skilled and friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere, very accomodating owners

Cons: None

Went to NYC with two friends and was pampered at this salon. They provided an ice bucket for our champagne, kept our glasses full and they have the best massage chair to sit in while you're getting your pedicure. The girls were all sweet and the spa was immaculate. Would definately go back.

I've been to quite a few spas and Ohm Spa really distinguishes itself from others! I had a wonderful massage and facial. The pedicure and manicure were mediocre, but the head-to-toe package was so affordable that it didn't matter.

i've been to a lot of spas and was weary of trying this new one (I had a gift certificate from a friend.) I was sooo happy with my facial from Nadia. she was amazing and gave me a gift when I told her I was getting married in 3 weeks! I will definitely be back to Ohm for other services too.

Ratings_icons Yes, its all true.

I write this review reluctantly because I know that by doing so, it may make it harder for me to book an appointment in the future. But I've been going to Ohm Spa for about a year and I just wanted to do this as a thank you for the wonderful care they've always given me. I started going when I first moved to NYC and they were a haven for me whenever I was feeling overwhelmed. Now I just go because its fun and I'm addicted to massages and their pedicures. Jon and Kathy are wonderful, caring people, as are the rest of the staff. I'll be returning as long as I'm in New York!

This was my first time at Ohm Spa, having been given a gift certificate there by my friends. I have to say that this was the best facial I have ever received. My facialist was Nadia, who even gave me an extra 45 minutes for free! After the facial, she even gave me samples of products that she recommended for me, and talked to me about how to take care of my skin. I had a lot of breakouts when I went, and now I can definitely see a difference. I also have to say that not only was the service by Nadia great, but service from everyone I interacted with were great as well. It was definitely a great experience from beginning to end. Their prices are also very reasonable, and definitely worth it!

Pros: service, price

Cons: No cons
