Feline Day Spa

I have had leg and bikini waxing at Feline and have always been impressed with the quality of the experience. Whenever I call it is easy to get an appointment, which I appreciate! Additionally, they use very high quality wax and you don't leave feeling sticky. The atmosphere is also very relaxing. I continue to go back and have recommend it to many friends.

I just came back from Feline's and I gotta say, WOW. I went there for a mini facial and Alex took care of me. She was so friendly and wonderful. This was the first time that I had a facialist who actually told me the truth and not try to push their products nor make me spend extra on a service that I really didnt need. She gave me tips on how to keep my skin healthy and glowing and was very knowledgeable. I left out of the spa with a brand new face with very little redness. I definately recommend Alex for any facial and will definately be coming back to Feline's for their wonderful mani/pedi's I keep hearing great things about. Thank you Alex :):)

Pros: Great facial, wonderful facialist

Cons: None

I am new to NYC and heard about Feline from a friend. I went to get a manicure for a wedding and have never had a better experience! The staff was great and my manicure looked amazing not to mention lasted for well over a week with no chips. I would highly recommend Feline!!

Pros: Long lasting manicure

Posted 08/08/07

The person who gave me the pedicure was very professional, attentive and pleasant. The pedicure lasted for a very long time, almost a month. Love the location and service.

Posted 08/05/07

I booked an exfoliating body treatment here based on the reviews. I received a great treatment from Helena. I hadn't booked anything else, but decided to have another treatment while i was there, and she was able to accomodate my request. I really liked Helena, and I would definitely go back again and ask for her.

The only thing that I wasn't thrilled about (and more so when I got my bill) was that there was no way to use the first time visitor coupon without having an actual print out of the coupon. I phoned in advance to check if I could provide them with the number from the coupon, and was told that I had to have the piece of paper. When I explained that I don't have a printer at home, the answer was "sorry, you have to bring the paper". That seemed kind of odd to me, especially in this day and age, but I went ahead with my appointment anyhow. When it came time to pay ($173 for two treatments and a product) I realized that I should have figured out a way to print, it would have been worth it. Too bad it's not a "one time only" coupon, not limited to first visit.

Again, Helena was great, I felt very comfortable with her, and will see her again.

Clean, tranquil facilities. Beautiful, kind, and helpful staff. Meticulous about their Brazilian waxes (with little pain as well)!

Posted 08/02/07

I love this spa for everything, but particularly for waxing! I have been a regular here for over a year and highly recommend Lucyna for all waxing services, she is the only one in the city that I trust for virtually painless and perfect bikini waxes. I live in midtown east and do not hesitate to travel to the upper west side for this spa haven. The service is always efficient and flawless and everyone is very friendly. I just can't wait to try more of their services!

Pros: Great atmosphere, excellent service

Posted 07/24/07

I had a manicure done here, hoping it would stay on for 4-5 days during my vacation, however it lasted for over 2 wks without chipping! I loved the color (deep pink) and got comments everywhere about how polished my look was! Love Feline, they do a great job! Also, the lady who did my mani was sweet and provided a truly relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend this place if you need a manicure to last and look professional!

Posted 07/20/07

this spa was great the people working there were really friendly and the massages r the best!! i highly recommend going there!

Pros: everything

Cons: nothing

Posted 07/17/07

I've tried lots of spas on the upper west side and am always disappointed with the amount I have to pay for the quality of service. Feline is by far the best spa in this neighborhood. Great deep tissue massages, waxing and mani pedi's!

Posted 07/14/07

If you value your skin, you may want to avoid this place. I went in for the first time a few days ago and had a brazilian wax. I usually go to another spa but I thought I'd give Feline a try since it's so close to where I live. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. To start with the waxer was not friendly at all, no small talk or anything, and I had to help her out the whole time, holding my skin in different positions. The nature of the procedure was bearable as at least she worked really fast. I seemed to be fine until I got home, when I noticed my skin kept getting more and more red and then started peeling. I went back to the spa a few days later to tell them what happened and asked for a refund but they refused. I was told I was being nasty and all they could do was have me come back to meet with the waxer later to have her apply a cooling lotion. I had already scheduled an appointment with my dermatologist, so I declined. I've been to a lot of places for waxes, including cheap hair salons and this place was the worst by far! Beware!

Pros: location

Cons: waxing services, rude staff

Posted 07/05/07

The service was very friendly. My facial was excellent and the products that were recommended to me for my skin are working beautifully. I already see a difference! The location is great and the prices are fair! This is my new go-to spa! I love it!

Pros: great location, fair prices, great speedy service.

Posted 06/27/07

SO MANY TIMES YOU COULD ONLY HOPE TO FIND GREATNESS. EACH TIME I ENTER THE SPA I ENJOY IT MORE AND MORE. I HAVE NOT HAD ONE UNPLEASENT SERVICE OR STYLIST. I THINK I HAVE FOUND MY FUTURE. BE SURE TO CLEAR YOUR DAY, YOU'LL FEEL LIKE BUTTER.

Posted 06/22/07

great manicures/pedicures - and if you live on the upper west side, its a really convenient location.

Posted 06/20/07

I love this spa! It's conveniently located for Upper West Siders and it means I never have to go downtown for a spa appt again. The facials there are fantastic and listen to their recommendations for your skin type. I used to have pretty bad surface acne and a bit of rosacea, but since getting a regular facial at Feline, both have cleared up. And the ladies who work there could not be nicer to speak to. I always used to feel uncomfortable at spas, but they are very understanding of when you want to chat and when you'd prefer just to sit and enjoy the experience. I also have gotten bikini waxing there, which was as painless as possible and looked great. All in all, I have been nothing but pleased with my Feline experience.

Pros: Service, Skill, and Location

Posted 06/12/07

I received two prenatal and one postnatal massage here, and I felt amazing afterwards. Great service.

Posted 06/01/07

While not the most pampering or modest treatment I've ever had, the almond lavender body scrub with massage did the job and left my skin soft and smooth. This was my first time at this spa, which I mainly chose because of the location since I live in upper Manhattan and don't have time to go to the east side or downtown for spa treatments unless I'm making a day of it. The amenities were pretty basic, and the service was not for the modest, but the service was professional and friendly. I was also impressed by the wide variety of products available for purchase.

Pros: Convenient uptown location, last minute appointments

Cons: Not very pampering, basic amenities, somewhat rushed

Posted 05/15/07

I had a wedding to go to and I went here for a mani/pedi and french tips. The Pedicure was amazing!! The girl who did it was just amazing! But then it came time for my manicure and french tips. I was told that they use silk insteasd of tips but that my nails were to short for this (I am a waitress so I have to keep them short). I was told thata woman who was going to do them with tips came highly recommended. I have gotten tips done about 20-25 times before this so I assumed that I was in for a real treat. WRONG! The lady was very nice and talkative. I noticed that she wasn't doing my nails corretly, but I thought maybe she just does it a different way (I thought she would fix certain things towards the end). I paid before she was finished so I wouldn't mess them up while they were try'n to dry. The total came to $184 without tip (found out later :just the nails were $119). I was shocked at the priced but paid anyway, as well as leaving a $30 tip for the two women to split. My appointment was running late so I had to rush out of there to go to work. I got to work and started looking at my nails. First of all, the tips were all different lengths, #2 the white tips (she painted it with white polish) were fatter on one side of my fingernail then the other side,#3 on my right knumb you could see a large portion of my real nail,#4she did 3 coats of gel on the right hand and only 2 coats on the left, and#5 it looked like I had gotten them done 3 weeks ago and needed to get them refilled the same day I got them done (there was a large gap where the cuticle and the gel meet). I was very upset, upset that I just spent $200 on this and it looked horrible, and upset that I was going to have to pay for them to be taken off and then pay to get them redone some place else. Long story short,"the owner" said she would give me my money back. She didn't and when i called to find out why she hung up on me. I called her back and asked why she hung up on me and she hung up on me again.

Pros: nice pedicure

Cons: HORRIBLE customer serivice by the owner

Posted 05/12/07

I got my brazilian wax done for the first time. I got it done by Sia, and she was great. Very nice and professional. Made me feel comfortable, although I was very nervous. Recommended.

Pros: Professional

Posted 05/10/07

I just had a facial with Donna, and it was fantastic: she was professional, efficient, and did a good job of removing my whiteheads. My only (minor) complaint is that I felt like I was alone too much in the room -- there was a lot of quiet time. But, overall, it was great, easily the best facial that I've had in New York so far.

Pros: Was on time, attention to extractions during facial, soothing music

Cons: None

Posted 05/09/07

I have been a regular customer at Feline's Day Spa for 6 months now, and absolutely LOVE it. The staff (from the reception staff to the beauty consultants) are always friendly (not pretentious), helpful, courteous, and PROFESSIONAL.
I see Sia for ELECTROLYSIS (for the last 6 months) . . . and have been very HAPPY with the results. Sia is professional and knowledgeable - she suits my treatment according to my skin type (color, sensitivity, etc.). For e.g., when I asked for longer and more frequent sessions in my zeal to speed up the facial hair removal process, she was good about informing me that this would not be a good idea as it would irritate my skin needlessly. I trust her opinion and respect the fact that as a professional, it was the health of my skin that was more important that making more money by having me come more often. By the way, Sia's FACIALS are awesome too. .. I felt relaxed, and my skin glowed after my facial. I have also purchased many beauty products that have been recommended by Sia and other beauty consultants at the Spa.
I WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS JEWEL ON THE UPPER WEST SIDE TO MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
P.S. I had myself decided to try Feline's after reading the reviews on this website...and and happy to add my own positive review to the rest for this Spa.

Pros: Good electrolysis services, professional staff, good facials, convenience of location and hours, no sales pitch

Cons: None

Posted 05/07/07

I went to Feline Day Spa a year ago and it was my first time then I have recently visited again and I don't know how to tell you this but this place is AMAZING. I had a blast the first time and the second time I went. Everyone there were very nice and kind. I enjoyed my spa retreat there and will be coming back for more by the end of this month! I'm looking forward to one of the body wraps I heard around the block that this was the place to go for.

Posted 05/06/07

I was really shocked to read the review from apa1982 on 4/19. Sea, who performs the electrolysis, is nothing but the most incredible professional I have ever trusted with my face. She has never been anything but completely honest about how my face will react, and is extremely cautious in taking things slow. She has performed electrolysis on my face for the past year, and I have had amazing results. Anyone who has had electrolysis on their face knows that it's an aggressive regimen that can really iritate the skin. Sea has always gone slow enough that I'm not scared to show my face the next day. Please ignore that posting from 4/19 - the reviewer must have had a bad day and was annoyed that Sea was following her personal treatment guidelines for which I have always been so appreciative. She also performs fantastic facials!

Posted 05/01/07

I recently wrote a complaint re: an unsatisfactory manicure/pedicure experience. It was not my goal to get a free manicure/pedicure and I didn't even know that the owner was able to contact me through this review. However, she called me and kindly apologized about this service and immediately offered me a free manicure/pedicure. I think this gesture proves that the owner is professional and very concerned about giving good service. My service is scheduled for next month since I'm not in NY now but I hope I won't be displeased this time. Lynn

Posted 04/28/07

Best Facial ever! I was glowing when I left the spa. Ask for Marta.. shes amazing! They also dont push products on you but more than happy to help you pick out what you need. Im definately going back.

Posted 04/22/07

I feel bad about complaining but I was so offended by my recent poor quality manicure/pedicure with Sueve esp. since I am a returning facial customer and spent more than $400 in services and products that day. She started by giving me the wrong pedicure so I had to ask her to check my reservation. Toenails were raggedly cut and hastily filed. She almost cut my skin under the nail twice and didn't apologize. Cuticles were poorly done also. I pointed one out so she removed the polish and redid. She clumsily brushed against 3 nails and smeared them so had to redo. More cuticles had to be redone but I was so frustrated at this point that I didn't say anything since she should be the "professional". Then, to top it off, during the drying process I was totally ignored so I had to go to the reception to ask for help. They didn't even acknowledge me and kept on doing their accounting since it probably was late. I had to call their attention more than once even if I was the only one there. Only one lady was nice. I do not recommend this manicurist, however, their facials are good depending who you go to. Joanna was excellent--very qualified, professional, cordial and attentive. I only regret not specifying to give all of the tip just to her. Lynn

Posted 04/21/07

When it comes to pedicures I am very picky. I have a tendency to get ingrown toe nails, which if you don't know can be very painful, so I don't trust anyone to cut my toe nails.
However, the spa professionals at Feline are very good, careful, and neat. At the end I walked away with a beauitful pedicure, soft feet, and confident that I had chosen the right place for my fussy feet.
Unlike other places, that just paint a coat of polish and put some cream on your feet, the ladies at Feline take time to really make your feet look good and feel like new again.
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a "real" pedicure.

Pros: Upper West Side, Clean

Posted 04/20/07

The staff is so incredibly rude when making an appointment that I would never allow them to treat me! A woman with a very thick foreign accent who performs the electrolysis treatments basically called me a liar when I tried to explain how my skin reacts. Who would ever trust anyone so customer un-friendly let alone give them money? Steer clear of this very unprofessional establishment!

Cons: Exceedingly rude staff

Posted 04/18/07

I received a Honey Almond body scrub at Feline's on 4/16. This was my first time receiving a body scrub so I wasn't sure what to expect. A wonderful woman named Helena performed my body scrub, using loofah mitts and a lightly scented almond paste. She was very attentive and scrubbed my skin vigorously. At first, I thought the scrubbing would irritate my extremely sensitive skin but, surprisingly, it didn't and I was happy to see all of the dead skin sloughed off. Once I rinsed off in the shower, my skin was smooth and baby soft. Helena used a dry oil mist afterwards, which smelled like gardenias. I am not too keen on floral scents but this one wasn't too bad.

It's been about two days since I received the scrub and I still feel silky smooth. I definitely recommend the almond body scrub and look forward to coming here again before my wedding in August. Thanks Helena!

Pros: Relaxing atmosphere and attentive employees

Cons: None

Posted 04/17/07

I went for a facial ....it was awesome....God i felt like i am in Heaven..I really recommend to all and lot of my freinds went their....even a very gud freind just took couple package for her anniversary

Posted 04/09/07

beautiful spa and great salon staff! Easy to get to, lots of room inside for groups, friendly atmosphere!

Posted 04/05/07

This winter my face has suffered the effects of exzema really badly. I went to Feline's for a facial and was booked with Sia. She worked wonders for my face. It's been a month and I plan on going back in the future. Now I look normal again, no more blotchy skin and no more bad dry spots. If you want a facial that is both relaxing and lasts go to Sia! Also, the place is beautiful, neat and relaxing. I plan on going back to try other services as well!

Pros: Excellent Facial!

Cons: None!

Posted 03/15/07

I had a day of beauty at this spa. My nail services were no different then any other place and way overpriced. My massage was pretty good but not the best- I had a man and prefer a woman. My facial was AMAZING! my skin was broken out badly and now it is all healed. I will def be back for the facials. Overall a good place and I would go back to try other treatments.

Posted 03/10/07

great experience--pressure was perfect on massage, facial was great and she gave me alot of info and samples of the products she recommended. location is convenient to my home, seemed clean, staff was gentle and helpful.

Pros: location

Cons: noise level

Posted 03/05/07

The most fascinating place described on the net, this web page really knows how to indulge beauty goers into taking up some of this pampering. Where else could I go to receive this special treatment from highly trained professionals, this wonderful place of extacy is the moment of truth, how you want things done and who will be the right people to do it. Well the next step is to start filling up those appointment books and get ready for a lifetime of pampering.

Posted 02/25/07

I have been to many spas and this one takes the cake. The staff is very attentive and it has a full range of services from you basic facials to nail care and body work. It has the combination of an inspensive New York spa with the prices of one from the outer boroughs.

Posted 02/18/07

What a great experience! My skin was desperately dry from the weather and Marta gave me the most amazing treatment and facial. I usually break out or feel oily when I"ve had facials in the past but its almost a week later and my skin still feels amazing!! I rarely indulge myself with treatments such as this but the results were beyond expectation so I think I'm going to have to create a budget for a regular visit.

Pros: Friendly unpretensious service, prompt, experienced staff

Cons: None

Posted 02/17/07

I went here for my first brazilian and they made me feel so comfortable and did a great job. The experience wasn't scary or awkward at all. The service was great and I def want to go back for a pedi or a mani.

Pros: the service

Cons: none

Posted 02/14/07

She must be out of her mind! Feline is my favorite and only spa that I go to. The mani/pedi lasts forever and it always looks perfect! The french manicures are tres jolie! Also, the massages and facials are excellent and the employees are very polite and professional. So when someone suggests that they don?t change their towels in between waxes, they must have something wrong with them(Sorry but i have to speak the truth!). For waxing, they use TABLE PAPER, the same as in the doctor office. They also take new spatulas for each client which in other places (I?ll be nice and not point fingers at anyone) they don?t! Go and see for yourself if you don?t believe me!

Pros: Service, Tidiness, Skills

Cons: None

Posted 02/04/07

Here's the run down: they do a pretty good job at waxing (but be prepared to have to "participate" in the job; i think their pedicures are not worth it.. i got one of the fancy pedicures and it was mediocre for the price - you can get much better service & treatments at some of the less "spa" places; it doesn't really have a "spa" experience in general & the rooms are actually a bit dingy (in fact, i don't think they even change the underlying towel on the table that you get waxed on between waxes; i have had very good massages there tho. if it's convenient to get to, then it's ok.. but if you;re looking for a lavish spa experience & lots of pampering.. keep looking.

Pros: massages, waxing, skill

Cons: dingy / bit dirty, pedicures

Posted 01/28/07

I had the Brazilian with Lucyan and she was terrific. Very discreet and professional. It wasn't terribly painful and she did a thorough job. The services available are quite extensive. The spa manager is a true professional. They go out of their way to please their clients. Excellent customer service!!

Posted 01/08/07

Lovely upper west side gem. Always clean and friendly. A wide variety of services with decent prices.

Pros: Quiet ambiance

Cons: Hard to get through by phone

Posted 01/05/07

I first went to Feline's with my cousin, who has been using Feline's for a number of years. She convinced me to come all the way into the city from Westchester just to have a spa day. Boy was I glad she did. Since my first beauty express day, I have returned for all my spa needs. They make you feel very comfortable and relaxed. The ambiance is very serene and soothing. I actually got my first brazillian there and have tried other places since, but have realized how different it can be from place to place. I no longer want to save time by going someplace in my own neighborhood, I am loyal to Johanna. She is the absolute best!!!

Pros: Great Ambiance, Friendly Staff, Clean, Serene

Cons: Not enough street parking in th area

Posted 01/02/07

Feline is awesome. So far I've been there for a facial, a massage, and a brazillian wax. Can I just say that it was my first brazillian and I will definitely be going back for a second. I was so scared, but the woman who helped me was awesome. It was so much less uncomfortable and painful than I thought it would be. I went in thinking that it would be the worst experience of my life, and ended up walking out smiling. And she did a great job. The facial and massage I had last year when my boyfriend took me in for my brithday. When I left the spa I felt like I was glowing and sitting on a cloud. I don't remember being so relaxed. I definitely plan on returning to feline for all my spa needs : )

Pros: service, cost, atmosphere

Cons: none

Posted 12/20/06

They have great Brazillian waxings, and it is always nice to treat yourself to one of thier excellent manicures and pedicures. Best of all their pedicures do not use the machines that keep bacteria in them.

Highly recommended

Pros: very nice peaceful setting

Cons: They are not open later

Posted 12/18/06

My friends who are addicted to brazillian waxing finally convinced me to get one and even though I was scared out of my mind and have zero tolerance to pain, I figured I would give it a try before my Florida vacation...they also said that Feline is the only place they would go. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is great...the lady who did me, Kristina, was so incredibly sweet. She made me feel very comfortable even though it hurt a lot. I thought I'd be embarrassed but I wasn't at all...I'm going back tomorrow for a seaweed wrap...so excited.

Pros: Ambience, Friendly staff, large menu of options

Posted 12/17/06

Whenever I get a facial at Feline I always come out glowing. My fiancee, who is not the most perceptive person out there, always seems to comment on how good I look after I've emerged from my facial experience (that's the goal!!). The microdermabrasion is fantastic and takes all the fatigue and dullness out of my face in just one sitting. Go a few times in a row and you're skin seems to stand up better to the stress of life. I've gone to a bunch of different people at Feline, all of whom have done a great job.

Pros: Facials, microdermabrasion, skin products

Cons: Someone on the phone was rude to me once but that is it

Posted 12/12/06

The best Brazilian this side of Belarus, their gentle approach and blue wax is practically painless.

Posted 12/07/06

I live right in the neighborhood and this day spa is a great find. The prices are reasonable and service is excellent. Highly Recommended!

Posted 12/04/06

This is a great place to get quality spa treatments at a reasonable price. Overall it is a really great experience. I would definitely reccommend it!

Posted 12/04/06
