Juvenex Spa

My husband and I received a gift certificate for a Romantic Getaway from my sister in law (Sara) for Christmas. We used it last Sunday. The experience was superb, and I could easily recommend them for the Romantic experience alone. But I am writing about the massage. I have a tendency to sleep in bad posture with most my weight on my left shoulder, and wake up with sore muscles. I have been taking medication for it daily. During my massage, the therapist Sunny, read the pain from my face when moving my arm. Immediately she concentrated on that area and spent at least 15 minutes working on my shoulder. When she was done with the massage, she went back and spent another 5 minutes or so, there. She was great. And I am without the need to take the daily advil for the third day now. Thank you Sunny for fixing my shoulder. Now if I can only learn to sleep right! Or even better get Sara to buy me more gift Certificates to juvenex. Thanks Sunny, and Thank you Sara!!! Juvenex is great.

Pros: Best Massage Therapist, 24/7, Easy to get appointments

I've been going to Juvenex Spa for a couple of years now, and thought I'd write a review. Every time I go there I have a great experience! And I mean from the time I call on the phone till the time I check out - their receptionists are all so nice, friendly and accomodating. It doesn't stop there . . . all of the therapists are great at what they do - I don't even have to request a specific person, I'm that confident & comfortable in knowing that I'm going to get an awesome treatment with whoever I book with. . . all of my past experiences have proven that to be the case. The spa is always nicely decorated and relaxing, with fresh flowers and music and candles for ambience. I have fallen asleep in the baked clay detox room waiting for my services more than once. I can't say enough good things about Juvenex. Very highly recommended!

Pros: skilled therapists, friendly staff, attention to details

Cons: None that I experienced

Posted 01/21/07

When I walked into the spa, the receptionist ignored me and continued talking to her co-workers. She had a pack of cigarettes sitting on the counter. I was told there would be no charge for use of the soaking pools, saunas, and steam rooms because half of the facilities were out of commission. I was asked to pay up front-- in hindsight this should have been a clue.

My first impression of the spa area was that it is very old and run-down. There is no lock on the bathroom door, the paint in the bathroom is crumbling, and there is no hot water to wash your hands after using the toilet.

The only soaking tub that was operational was occupied when I arrived, so i went into the "igloo sauna" first. The mats on the floor smelled musty and old, and there were many used towels and half-empty glasses of water laying around inside, as none of the staff had cleaned up after previous guests.

When it was my turn for the tub, I was encouraged to climb into a tub full of water used by the previous guest. The water is not chlorinated. I put my finger in the water to test it out... and it was cold! No thanks, I'll pass.

There were 5-7 staff members congregating in the middle of the spa chatting loudly in Korean the entire time I was there. The phone was on the bar counter, ringer set to high, ringing constantly.

When it was time for my massage, I was escorted into a treatment room that was just off the reception area and elevator. All the noise from arriving guests, elevators, and the receptionist came blaring in.

My massage therapist asked me to disrobe and get on the table, then stood there and watched me. She did not cover me with anything. I finally requested to be covered, and she complied, but was very careless with the cover and I often felt a cool breeze on areas of my anatomy where I want no breezes. She clearly had received no proper training on how to use the stones and her technique was very rushed.

Pros: none

Cons: unsanitary, run-down, loud, rude, untrained massage therapists

Posted 01/15/07

I have been waxing for years and went here as I heard how great they were and I am glad I did .It was the best waxing I have ever had . Heidi has been waxing for years and its obvious that experience truly makes a difference. I will definetly be going there in the future .

Pros: atmosphere, great service.Open Late

Posted 12/22/06

My visit to Juvenex was a joyous one. I received a gift certificate from my husband and had the works! Linda gave me totally relaxing massage, Linta freshened up my skin with the Vitamic C Facial. and Johanna gave me a relaxing body wrap treatment and pedicure!!!! Before going there I checked their reviews and was looking forward to try the 3D Imax movie with the bodywrappe, But was disappointed when they told me that the "Sneak preview" is only being offered at nights for couples and they could not give it to me during the day for another week or so. Otherwise, everything was just great. I am so lucky to have found this team of creative people and I WILL BE BACK!.

Pros: Service, Service , Service

Posted 12/20/06

Love the atmosphere, friendly staff and good value. All products and services are great! Great luxury spa experience without the luxury spa attitude!

Pros: All

Cons: None

Posted 12/14/06

Very relaxing/peaceful ambiance, totally unlike any spa in NY. I tried the Vitamin-C facial, which I can see improving my skin already. My most recent visit included a massage, which I loved, and am already looking forward to the next time. This is the place I 'd be spending most of my gift buying $ this year. I am sure this wont be regifted.

Pros: Excellent Service, Unique, relaxing Ambience

Cons: None

Posted 12/11/06

My husband and I travel to NY every 3 months for business. Since we discovered Juvenex, it has become our first stop. Usually righ as we arrive. The "Jet-Lag" treatment and a massage for me and 90 minute massage for him, and of course the Igloo and steam. It is a great recepie after a long flight (from Moscow).
This time.we were offered an Imax 3D movie while receiving the body wrap. Apparently this is a new service coming soon but we were offered a sneak preview and we loved it. My husband usually skips the jet lag body wrap because he gets bored and can't stand laying down wapped up and motionless for an hour no matter how good it may be for him. But the Imax movie makes time go by so fast and you are entertaind rather than bored. We both absolutely love Juvenex and wish them the best of success. They are innovative, kind and always greet you with a smile, even if you arrive at 2:30 in the morning.

Pros: Jade Igloo,, Super Friendly staff, Innovative Menu

Cons: Only in New York

Posted 12/11/06

Just heavenly. The best massage I've ever had... plus a really great all-around 'spa experience.' They've got all the special little touches covered. Highly recommended.

Pros: Nice Design, friendly staff, attention to detail

Posted 12/06/06

I just got back from my massage and have to say that Johanna did such a fantastic job! The girl has some strong hands! I am a hair stylist and needed a deep tissue massage. I have gone to other places and they did a decent job, but Johanna really got in there and worked most of the knots out. She'll probably need a massage herself after working on me! Good job, Johanna! And what a nice place as well. I felt very welcomed when I arrived. I will definitely be back!

Pros: Igloo, Super Friendly Staff,Ambience

Posted 12/06/06

What a great experience! When I walked into Juvenex Spa, I felt like I was being welcomed as a guest into someone's home. Both receptionists smiled at me, welcomed me and offered me a delicious cup of tea. SO much different then the other spas I've been to where they could care less if you enjoy yourself. All of my services were great - I fell asleep during my massage & my skin is more clear than I can ever remember it being. All in all it was just wonderful & I plan on returning as often as I can. I really liked this place - I felt very comfotable there and everyone was super friendly and accomodating. If you're looking for a beautiful, personal spa with great treatments and great customer service I definitely recommend this one!

Pros: Personal & warm. Great treatments & customr service. Beautiful & tranquil spa.

Let me begin by saying that, in a spa, I know that I'll be asked to disrobe at some point during my visit. This is not a surprise to me. I understand I am among professionals and this is how things are done.

At Juvenex Spa, however, I remained in my bathing suit during the sauna/jacuzzi portion of my service before I entered my "Invigorating Korean Style Salt Glow Scrub." Invigorating indeed! Before I knew it, I was in my birthday suit in a room full of women (thankfully, the spa is ladies only from 7am - 7pm) and being scrubbed down like a greasy, used stockpot by a very large, very scary, Brillo pad. Once I was completely covered in my salty glow, I was pushed (yes, pushed) out into the communal showering facility, in front of everyone, and there was nothing I could do about it. I wasn't able to understand my technician as she spoke very little English, so I remained in the shower, confused for about a minute or so, until she came and yanked (yes, yanked) me back to her scrub down table to start the massage where I was drowned in oil and mashed and bashed to the point of bruising. (I don't mind a deep tissue massage, but this lady was beating me to a pulp.) The technician then began kneading my skin in a way that I thought she might actually poke a hole from my back to my chest and punching (yes, punching) my butt, which is when I started giggling uncontrollably. Soon after, she started a shiatsu/kung fu move on me and when she pulled at my left arm, then right arm, and let them drop back down to the table, I thought for sure that, in my slippery state, I was going to shoot right the heck off the massage table.

Usually, I find myself so relaxed after a spa visit that I get jelly legs and can barely remember my name. At Juvenex, however, I left feeling a little paranoid, looking over my shoulder every few feet for fear my technician was going to chase me down for Round Two.

Juvinex is indeed a beautiful a spa with some wonderful amenities. However, their staff really could use some training.

The problems started right off the bat when my girlfriend and I arrived at the same time as two other couples. The receptionist and staff seemed completely overwelmed by this. We were given NO PRIVATE place to change into our robes. We had to drop trou in the lounge area among the couches with both patrons and staff bustling by. As a matter of fact, all throughout the night we were constantly brushing up against busy staff and patrons. The effect was like trying to relax in grand Central Station!

The hustle and bustle continued throughout our visit as we were ushered from one room to the next haphazzardly. We had to ask for water several times instead of it being offered. The staff seemed very well meaning, but disorganized. Every time we went into a sauna, steamroom or shower either our towles or robes would dissapear and we ask to ask for new ones.

The only respite was the massage. It was top notch, very relaxing after a hectic preamble.
Durning the course of our treatments, we took three showers. How refereshing. The only problem was that at the end of the night, my girlfriend was not offered a hairdryer, so she had to leave with a head of long wet hair. How not refereshing.

Pros: pretty to look at. novel sauna and steam room. good massage

Cons: no private changing rooms, no hairdryers, staff disorganized

on august 8th i visited the juvenex spa. what a great experience. i had the back facial,and the rejuvenating pedicure. upon my arrival i was greeted by olga the receptionest, who was great. she showed me around. yes, i was a little skeptical about taking off my clothes. it worked out fine. i arrived@ 9 am, so noone was there. first off i was showed the locker where my personal belongings were to be put. then i took a shower. there was shampoo, conditioner,and soap. it felt really nice. next it was on too the igloo. wow, what an experience that was. next,on to the soaking tub piled full of whole lemons. next on to another great enclosed steam room. next,on to the ice cold rain shower. you will be offered water and fruit at the sit down fruit bar. how refreshing. i will remember my juvenex exeperience for a long time to come. i only wish we had a juvenex spa right here in st. pete fl. also the area it is in was very safe. elevater was small but just get in it and go to the 5th floor. you will not be sorry.

Pros: ambience was prefect- service was great- staff friendly

Cons: i have no cons

Posted 08/18/06

Definitely a hidden jewel in Korea town. I threw a small corporate event here (group of 11) and everyone had a fabulous time. The staff was quite friendly and helpful. The facilities were CLEAN which is a must for me. I loved my salt body scrub - it was amazing and I felt as soft as ever but my absolute favorite was the deep tissue and swedish massage combo. 60 minutes of pure heaven and I came out feeling like a brand new person. We were promised complimentary cake and champagne which I expected to be cheap and average but was suprised by how nice of a treat it was for my guests. Definitely a great spot if you work long hours and need a little pampering late night. That place has definitely not seen the last of me!

Posted 08/02/06

Juvenex is exactly what I've been searching for! I immediately felt like I was part of a great group of friends. Every courtesy was extended to me. I was given a tour of the entire extensive facility, offered a cup of tea, and always greeted with a smile. The services were obviously performed by seasoned veterans. I couldn't have been in more capable hands. My massage and facial were both in the top ten I've ever recieved. I would recommend this spa to anyone and everyone. It's definitely on the top of my list for gifts to recieve as well as give!

Posted 07/31/06

had an overall great experience, but I was pleasantly surprised to have received the best facial I've had in Manhattan so far. It came as part of a package. I recommend the package which inclusdes facial, massage, salt glow.

Posted 07/16/06

i had a great time at Juvenex. i've been there 3 times now and have recieved the best massage from hidie and Johanna --so relaxing that i nearly fall asleep! I like to go there after a busy day at work, get a massage and do the juvenex jade journey and be totally transformed. i'm glad i found this spa!

Pros: Service with a Smile

Cons: No male therapists

Posted 06/18/06

I travel for my work and am used to getting massages on a regular basis while away from home. Imagine my surprise when I found this spa in my own backyard!
As soon as I walked in the door, I felt my tensions begin to melt away.
Soothing colors and mellow music were just the beginning. The therapists are some of the best i've ever had. They made sure that they were fulfilling my needs without a lot of chatter that would distract from my experience.
All in all, I am no longer getting massages while I travel, i'm saving them for home.

Pros: professional, great services

Posted 06/18/06

My first experience at the Juvenex spa made me feel like I had been lifted and placed into another world. The beautiful surrounding of the Igloo, 3 Saunas, detox room, and the fresh fruit delivered to our sake filled tub was elegant. They make you feel like a pampered movie star.

Pros: luxurious, plenty of amenities, not too crowded

Cons: Disposable bathing suites below par

Posted 06/16/06

Absolutely beautiful! My husband and I stayed at the Avalon Hotel for a week (One block away) and learned about Juvenex from the Concierge desk. We ended up going to Juvenex everynight. The Jade igloo sauna and the ginseng tub were amazing. Finishing off each day with their top-of-the-line Avance' products put the icing on the cake. I can't wait to go back.

Pros: great service, kind staff, Beautiful Spa

Cons: None

Posted 06/16/06

I went to Juvenex Spa for their Hot Stone Massage and it was well worth the $125. Two of my friends went with me and also received massages. We lazed in the hot, warm and cool tubs, spent some time in the wonderfully eucalyptus scented steam room, sweat in the unbeleivable Jade Igloo, snacked on Fruits, juice and water and enjoyed the great atmosphere. Juvenex Spa is recommended to anyone looking to relax and be pampered.

Pros: Ambience, Igloo, Service

Posted 06/14/06

Juvenex is amazing! It has everything you could need or want in a spa experience. I went there on the weekend of Mother's Day with my mom, and we were treated royally. The masseuse was perfect, hitting all the spots I requested. The steam room smelled of Eucalyptus, which was surprisingly refreshing. And the soaking tubs area was soothing and classically decorated. This is the perfect way to spend and afternoon of pampering.

Pros: Beautiful decor, Polite/Helpful Staff, Relaxing Ambiance

Posted 06/14/06

My boyfriend bought me a package to go to Juvenex on Valentine's Day. When I got there in the afternoon there were couples everywhere, even though I was told Men are only allowed in the evenings. My massage was OK, but somewhat frustrating because my masseuse did not speak any English and I could not tell her when she was massaging too hard or what areas to concentrate on. From there everything was downhill, I had absolutely no privacy and during the body scrub my masseuse actually tried to take my towel off even though I was in full view of EVERYONE. And to make everything worse I could not even explain to her that I was VERY uncomfortable because she didn't understand a word I said. At the front desk the receptionist had the nerve to tell me she didn't understand what my problem was because Juvenex has the best body scrub in NYC....I don't think so!! Who's ever heard of a body scrub using a bar of Ivory SOAP!?!? I left without completing the remainder of the services my boyfriend paid for and the spa would not refund our money. Every time we tried to resolve the situation we're told the managers are not in, and they never returned our phone calls. $300 down the drain and my Valentine's Day was RUINED! I really can't understand why any of these people on here have anything good to say about this place. My experience was HORRIBLE and I will never go there again!

Pros: None

Cons: Rude Receptionists, Non-English speaking masseuses, NO PRIVACY

Posted 06/11/06

I originally raved about Juvenex Spa after attending a Bacherolette Party there. However, when I went again on 5/20/06, it turned out disappointing. I had gotten a gift certificate in which was purchased in March 2006 and it had a pamplet in it to get something free. Instead of honoring it, the receptionist just ripped it up and said we are no longer doing it. I really wasn't in the mood to argue with her, but I still feel like they should have honored it. I did however, enjoy my hour treatment of the Energy Balancing Therapies. The girl that did my massage was wonderful, but I feel that the people up front need to be more customer friendly and was definitely not a good way to start off my relaxation

Pros: Massage, Price

Cons: Reception Staff

Posted 05/20/06

I went to Juvenex spa for a massage and a facial... both were fantastic. Johanna did the massage & I walked out feeling like jelly! The facial by lee was relaxing and my face looked and felt 1000 better when I walked out of there. I definitely recommend trying this place out... I know I will be scheduling another appointment soon!

Posted 05/04/06

I have had many teatements with members of the staff and they have always been truly wonderful experiences that have improved my sense of well being and physical condition enormously. I have had nothing but the most positive and rewarding experiences and I highly recommended Juvenex to everybody!!!!!

Pros: the spa, the igloo, the service

Posted 05/03/06

I have read and heard a lot about the spa nd afinally decided to check it out. I could not behappier. The spa was super celan and nicely decorated with fresh flowers. The service was superb. and the therapists were great. I had a facial, a massage and a bode scrub. The tubs were very calming and the jade igloo is quite a sauna. I got all that at less than $300. I spent about 3.5 hours and was served fruits, and tea. To me that is cheap, or at least okay. I would go again and recommend it to all.

Posted 04/06/06

dont think about too much, its awsome from a husband gift to my wife. I scored brownie points with this choice!

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Posted 04/05/06

I was charged $300 more than quoted at the outset. Because I was splitting the cost with 2 other friends (who I didn't know also paid) I didn't realize the mistake until a day later. While the total price we paid was the price listed on the written menu, we relied on the receptionist's verbal quote and were not shown a menu. The spa, rather than acknowledging their mistake refused to refund any money. Even a spa credit would have prompted my friends and I to return. Even though I lost $300, Juvenex has lost even more by being so short-sighted. I will go out of my way to make sure that no one I know EVER gives them business.

Cons: Rude Management, Confused Staff, Poor Customer Service

Posted 03/28/06

Very relaxing/peaceful ambiance, totally unlike spa. I tried the Vitamin-C facial, which I can see improving my skin already. My most recent visit included a massage, which I loved, and am already looking forward to the next time.

Pros: relaxing ambiance, friendly staff, Excellent results

Posted 02/20/06

I went here when they first opened and fell in love with this place. The $125 package with a mini-facial, mini massage, and body scrub is OUTSTANDING! My friends and I have gone here a few times for a girls' spa day and just had a beautiful experience. My favorite part is the relaxation room with fruit and tea. It's a stunning space and the staff is incredibly nice. I say GO! You will be wisked away into another world and your mind, body, and soul will thank you.

Pros: not pretentious, clean, very relaxing

Posted 02/09/06

I usually get the Jade Journey & the body scrub. I particularly like the body scrub because they really scrub you good & don't miss a spot. All your dead skin is exfoliated. Your skin really feels rejuvenated for a long time afterwards. Although the lockers & showers are in the open, I don't mind this a bit. In fact , I kind of like it. I like the communal atmosphere of people just being themselves and enjoying the ambiance.

Pros: Atmosphere, Service, no rush

Cons: none

Posted 02/02/06

I got the basic detox package. The spa is nice but the pools have no privacy. The service is good although the first time I was there I was a little confused at what to do when as no one really tells you. But I like the fruit and the fact they don't rush u.

Pros: Atmosphere, Service, Dont rush u

Cons: Lack of privacy, Lack of explanations

Posted 01/29/06

I've gone to Juvenex several times now and it's been a great experience every time. The massages are good, but it's the body treatments that really make it special, the scrubs and wraps and so on. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Posted 01/23/06

What these other reviews reviews neglect to mention is that the salon is one open big room, there are no walls separating the locker "room", the showers or the jacuzzi. Which is fine when it's all women but if you are there when men are allowed and 7pm is early if you go after work. Then you are subject to whilst changing, taking a shower etc. strange men seeing you naked. Also the locker area is in view of the cafe. I'm no prude, but it's disconcerting to change in view of the people working behind the cafe counter. Just be forwarned.

Pros: nice steam room

Cons: no privacy

Posted 01/12/06

I've had a facial or two (I myself am an esthetician) and I am obsessed with clear skin and clear pores. Facials here are thorough and not comfortable....b/c they are doing what they are supposed to be doing...cleaning and clearing up your skin. The estheticians here are amazing... and it's the first place I've ever been to where I can see true results (besides the usual exfoliation and steam and cream) after the first time I have been there. I won't go anywhere else... and neither should you.

Pros: Highly skilled, Thorough, Courteous

Posted 12/07/05

I had a lovely experience. The massage was the best I ever had. They did not have any male massage therapists. I was apprehensive at first, but she was very professional and therapeutic and had very strong hands. Usually I go for male so they can get my overworked legs untangled (i am a runner). The facial was very nice and relaxing, but best of all my skin looked fresh and glowing for days after. All of the staff was very nice and helpfull. I strongly recomend this spa.

Pros: 24/7, wonderfull staff, professional operator

Posted 12/05/05

I took my daughter in law, my niece and 2 friends and bought them a day
at the Juvenex Spa with me while we were in New York a week ago. That
spa was fabulous. Only my daughter in law had been to a spa before.
The jade sauna was fabulous. The women that worked at the spa were
super. Since we scheduled our spa day on a weekday, it was not very busy.
They ordered in lunch and at the end of our day treated us to a bottle
of champagne. They said since we travelled so far and made it a day
they wanted to treat us to a wonderful experience. It was the best xmas
gift I could give. I've made spa-addicts out of them all with the help
of Juvenex spas. Absolutely wonderful.

Posted 12/05/05

I was in town from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and chose Juvenex Spa because I saw them in Maxxim magazine. I am so happy I did! Everything about this place is wonderful. They were very responsive in contacting me to set an appointment (called within 2 hrs of my e-mail), the setting is very tranquil and the staff is fabulous. I will definitely come back whenever I am in New York and will let all my friends know about this incredible place.
Thank you SO MUCH, JUVENEX!!!!

Posted 12/01/05

I personally feel that Juvenex is by far the best in NY area. I feel like a Queen everytime I have services there, not to mention the elegance, glamour and charm of the spa itself. I always see them in magazines as the best spa featured. My fiance and I will only visit Juvenex, lots of disappointments in other spas that surpisingly have better ratingings on this list.

Pros: elegant, couples packages, great massage

Posted 11/30/05

Melissa gave me an incredible massage that seemed to last forever. Allof the hard knots and kinks are gone. She's absolutely terrific. This is a great spot to come and relax and forget about the outside world. Highly recommended.

Pros: Immaculate, Exceptional Massage, Reasonable Prices

Posted 11/29/05

A very beautiful and well decorated spa. I went for a facial and body wrap. The staff was very thorough and made sure I was comfortable at all times. That isn't even mentioning the massage at the end! I hadn't been so relaxed in months. I would definitley go back (This was my third visit there).

Pros: comfortable, Fresh flowers everywh, Beautiful spa

Posted 11/29/05

My sister (massage) and I (waxing) went. Don't get their treatments. I'd have to agree with some of the other reviewers. This spa doesn't not have skilled employees when it comes to massages and waxing. It was so bad that we spent a good deal of time debating whether we wanted to get a refund. Another patron who spoke Korean told me later in the sauna that even with an interpreter we still wouldn't have gotten what we wanted and that she only comes to use the igloo and sauna facilities. What they do have going for them is the Korean exfoliation (the real thing!) and jade igloo and sauna. That package is called "Jade Journey" or something like that. They give you fresh fruit and tea.

Pros: Sauna, Jade Igloo, Fresh fruit and tea

Cons: Not skilled, Language Barrier

Posted 11/12/05

'Hole in a wall' is the best way to describe this spa. It is in a crowded, busy, noisy area known as Koreatown. The building is old, the lobby is very small and the elevator crawls at the snail's pace. But once the elevator door opens on the 5th floor, you are instantly transformed in a true oasis. The smells, the sounds of waterfall, the decor, fresh flowers and an exotic Jade Igloo sauna will take you away. I love this spa and recommend it as the best nonpretencious spa in town.

Pros: exotic flowers, jade igloo, serene

Cons: location

Posted 11/02/05

Luba is the absolute Best skin care specialist I have ever seen. I recently had a facial with Luba, and unlike other facials, i did not break out at all or experience any skin irritation. Plus, I am getting married soon and had some sun damage (brown spots, tan lines) to take care of. I could not be happier with Luba's work. She is truely the most amazing skin care professional. I would HIGHLY recommend her.

Pros: friendly staff, beautiful spa, effective skin care

Posted 10/24/05

I cannot rate the facial portion of Juvenex because I don't use those services. But this was far and away the best massage I've ever had in my life. I left feeling completely relaxed and tingling. Heaven. If I could afford to get a weekly massage, there's no question Juvenex is the place.

On top of that, they have a great zen atmosphere. It's not too new agey and it's not too sex and the city hip. It's just relaxing and smells great.

Pros: atmosphere, Best Massage, Amenities

Posted 08/22/05

Based upon the high recommended treatments here... I went to this place and got a massage... The staff was friendly but the lady that massaged me did not understand a word of English. SO I could not explain my pressure preference. I also did not like the fact that when they massaged me I was completely nude for all view! THe massage itself did not feel like a "real" massage. AM not sure where the lady was trained but it was not like a regular massage that I am used to... Everyone has different tastes this was just not for me...

Posted 08/12/05

I've been to Juvenex twice. Their massages are very good, and I've had dozens of massages in my lifetime, so I would know! The setup is very much like Asian bathhouses (I used to live in Japan)- because it's single-sex, women can mill about in towels and go between sauna, steam, showers, etc.I once did their full-body scrub and would not do it again, just didn't like it that much. But overall this place is a great escape from the city! Give it a try! There is sometimes a 10% off coupon on Citysearch which they honor.

Pros: relaxing atmosphere, no rushing you, good massages

Cons: Barely speak english

Posted 08/03/05

I went to Juvenexfor the 1st time and I had their Enhanced Purification package and It was amazing... The best treatment I've ever had and the price was fair. The therapist Lee was amazing, the way she used the aromatherapy along with the massage and body wrap. It was all good :) I've think I've found my much needed weekly treatment !

Pros: The Igloo, Soaking Tubs, I felt special

Posted 07/29/05
