Juvenex Spa

I have been to Juvenex many time in the past. I am always totally satisfied and feel great for days after I visit. I was a bit uneasy with their open design and lack of privacy in the body scrub section before, and did discuss it with the manager last time I was there. Well, I was so flattered when the manager told me that they redesigned the section per MY request. Even more so because I have not been there for about 4 or 5 months and she still remembered me. That is so sweet. I like how they hung the huge bamboos around the area to provide more privacy. It is beautiful and they cared about my comments enough to go through all the trouble. I do feel special, Pampered, and totally in love with Juvenex.

Pros: They Care!, Great Service, Super design

Posted 07/29/05

I personally feel that Juvenex Spa is by far the best in New York. I feel like a QUEEN everytime I have services there, not to mention the elegance, glamour and charm of spa make it even better. My fiance and I will only visit Juvenex Spa, lots of disappointments in other spas that surpisingly have better ratingings on this list.

Pros: invigorating, relaxing, luxurious

Posted 07/27/05

My boyfriend gave us a 'romantic couples spa getaway' gift for my birthday. I was so happy with the package, i highly recommend it to anyone. The environment is so nice and exotic, you forget all your worries as soon as you step into the spa. Though it deserves a much better location.

Pros: Exotic, Service, Always open

Posted 07/27/05

I was there on Wednesday and still OOOOHHHing and AAAHHHHing.
will be back soon. Highly recommended for spa environment, super
clean and very professional Massage, the best I ve had for a long time.

Pros: great massage, super clean, unique design

Posted 07/22/05

I got a massage and didn't really enjoy it. The strokes were so soft and long. I honestly wanted to leave. I wouldn't try the other services.

Pros: good advertizement, location

Cons: bad service, average environment, not what i expected

Posted 07/20/05

This place is nice. Although the website makes it seem larger than it really is. It is only one floor. The Korean Scrub was nice although you lie there naked for everyone to see your whole body. I was embarassed at first. I wonder also if they change the water in the mini-pools. After I left that pool. They didn't seem to change the water.

However, the ladies working there was nice. I even got 2 rounds of fresh fruit and tea. That really relaxed me. I had the Enhanced Purification package and I was even able to book on the same day. It cost around $283 in total with tax. That is kinda expensive for me. I think I will stick with the basic purification package next time.

Pros: Good Scrub, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: Naked everywhere, Expensive

Posted 07/09/05

I enjoyed my coming here - it is relaxing. the staff is wonderful, attentive to details, and skilled. I highly recommend - best in the city.

Pros: everything

Cons: none

Posted 05/14/05

I googled "jade + sauna + new york" because a friend mentioned it as a great place that was affordable. I'm so happy that I did. I only wish I had more time to spent. I look forward to returning and basking in the light of the green jade sauna. Thank you.

Pros: great place, affordable

Posted 04/21/05

I tried their massage services, and I found the spa to be beatifully decorated and private. I also had the most relaxing massage and facial. I found their staff to be very knowledgeable and professional. I have found a place that I can go to and would recommend to anyone!

Pros: decoration, jade igloo, walk in is okay

Posted 04/11/05

Juvenex is a great place to go. It is always super clean with abumdance of fresh flowers, candles, and smiles. Their prices are very reasonable and the overall feeling I get when I visit is like a mini-vacation. I highly recommend them.

Pros: flowers , Decor, Always open

Posted 04/06/05

A fantastic massage with Kay made my day! She's probably the BEST massage therapist on the East Coast. She also has such a calming presence and a wonderful touch.
The Spa is so beautiful and serene. Everything is top notch! It's as if you're in another world.A world without stress!
Thankyou for bringing me such Joy!

Pros: Tranquil Environment, Expert Staff, Beautiful Music

Posted 04/01/05

Lovely environment. The wet space area was one of the best I'd ever seen-lots of showers, soaking tubs, Jade Igloo, Vlay room, 3 saunas, and all the amenities were in abundant supply. The staff was just as wonderful as the facility. I loved the infused ice water and the special tea, it made the experience complete.

Posted 04/01/05

I used to be a regular when they opened. Left the country for a year and revisited the spa last week. What a feeling, I feel so clean, pampered and sexy. My skin has not been this soft for the whole year I was away. And the spa ilooks and feels better than I remembered it. The staff are mostly the same and attention to detail is still theor focus. Fresh flowers, clean settings, I am so glad I am back in New York.

Pros: attention to detail, fresh flowers, great design

Posted 03/31/05

I have been to many of the most popular spas in NY and other major cities and as a man have always felt like a second class citizen where ever I have gone. But Juvenex is no so different. I felt very comfortable there. It was not spa stuffy, I felt they were genuinely interested that I have a great experience. The massage therapist that I had was unbelieveably good. So good that when I left I called friends to get them to go. The only issue is that men are only allowed at night, but they explained that they are building another floor just for men. The atmophere is contemporary but warm with lots of natural stones, and clay and stuff. What a breath of fresh air in the spa world! Can't wait to see the Men's Spa.

Pros: not stuffy, Real Jade Igloo

Cons: 4 Women only

Posted 03/29/05

Hi. My husband bought me a gift certificate which I used towards the Basic Purification Package with 20 minute massage and the Luscious Lips treatment. I went with 3 other people - we ordered lunch in and sat at a table eating it (with the staff giving us lemon and cucumber water to drink with it). We then went through the Jade Journey and then to the body scrub. I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't been that clean in ages. And the soft skin stays with you for days afterwards. I can't wait to go back (one of my friends is going to bring her mother for Mother's Day).

Posted 03/23/05

Well, I tried it. It is called the enhanced allurification package. I totally enjoed it. I had the facial, eye treatment, and the two new treatments the breast firming and lip plumping. I loved them both. I came home as Angelina Joline. I am not exagerating. My boyfriend noticed the change from steps away. They warned me it is only good for about 5 hours but I felt it will into the night, even the next morning though not as much. I am a regular there and highly recommend them. They never cease to amaze and impress me with their skills and new stuff (both treatments and products).

Pros: Noni, Jade, Igloo

Posted 03/12/05

I have been a big fan of Juvenex as long as they have been open, and just had my birthday held there with 18 of my best friends. They went out of their way to make me and my guests feel special, and there was no sales pressure. Some of my friends (college kids) would not be able to make it if they were made to spend hundreds of dollard here. I had a full day indulgance and spent all afternoon there. Some guests arrived late and were there only for about 90 minutes. Thank you Juvenex for the cake, the flowers and the whole experience. You will see me again soon and us as a group again march 7,2006 if not sooner for my friends Birthdays.

Pros: massage, setting, extremely friendly

Cons: No men during day

Posted 03/10/05

When I think of day spas, I think of an overworked staff who does the bare minimum. I received a gift certificate for Juvenex and thought I'd probably find exactly that. I was surprised. The girl who did my facial was sweet. She did an awesome job, and the only time she mentioned products was when I asked about certain skin treatments and even then there was no pressure to buy. I was already relaxed by the time I got to my massage, and didn't honestly think it could get any better. The massage therapist did an awesome job, and I was both surprised and pleased with her genuine concern and gifted touch. The atmosphere was relaxing without it being forced like other places are, and I truly felt I was the focus and not my gift certificate or the money it brought in.

Pros: Service, relaxed atmosphere, Decor

Posted 03/09/05

I still think this is the best spa and massage. Linda was great! She found all my knots and even some places I didn't know about. She went deep to work out the knots and then went into all these relaxing strokes so that I wouldn't tense up. It was great!!
Everything was first-rate and clean. And, they are open 7 days a week.

Pros: Always Open, great massage, Relaxing Atmosphere

Posted 03/05/05

My wife has had a few treatments there during the day and loves the place. She decided to treat us to a couples scrub. They advertise couples after 9:00 pm, but we noticed some single men taking up the seperate jacuzzis. Maybe their mate was getting a treatment, but I think couples should stay together for the entire time. These guys were in the jacuzzi s for a long time (as there is not much else to do if you are waiting for your mate to finish). We could not get any alone time and we were there at 1:00 am. They should enforce the couples policy.

Pros: 24 hr, no appt. necessary

Cons: single men, need more jacuzzis

Posted 02/04/05

Wow! Juvenex is a hidden jewel. The atmosphere is so inviting, the services are the best I've had anywhere (and that's saying something). The staff are very professional, and really know their stuff. I like the fact that I can get great spa without any treatments, and just hang out without spending a bunch of money. The Facial I had was one of the best I have ever experienced. The results I've seen are nothing short of miraculous.

Pros: 24/7, Best Facial

Posted 01/21/05

During the stone massage, the woman placed a towel on my back and placed heavy burning stones on top of it while she used her hands to painfully massage my legs for half the time. I told her the stones were too hot, she said ok and then replaced them. When she started rubbing the stones on my body, they burned so bad I said no more stones. She said ok, then a minute later started using them again. She asked if it was ok, I said no and she laughed but kept using them, this happened repeatedly. Even the lady next to us said 'she said she no more stones'. Miscommunication was not the problem because I spoke to her in korean. The whole time I felt tortured and was miserable. I checked my back afterwards and there were red burn marks where the stones had been.

Posted 01/08/05

Juvenex truly impressed me and they went far beyond my expectations during my visit last week. I chose to have a package that consisted of a body exfoliation, a massage and a vitamin c facial. The spa amenities allowed me to fully unwind and detox from a hectic work week. Each one of my treatments were performed with such expertise, the staff are so passionate about their work & they made me feel right at home! I cannot wait to go back to Juvenex, they truly are one of a kind.

Posted 11/20/04

I've been to so many spas, but none of them compare to the relaxing environment at Juvenex. They never rush you out, and you can use their facilities before and after your treatment so you feel fully unwound by the end of your stay there.
The facials there are terrific! It's probably better to go in the middle of the week where there are less people there.

Posted 09/26/04

Service was non-existent, and only one person spoke English. Perhaps it was a bad night, but objective evidence: the toilet seat was in disrepair, the soap bottles were all empty, the sauna door was stuck and took two people to open. The massage was painful - and you couldn't even communicate to them to ease up since they didn't know English. We went on a couples night, and it actually made us more tense after leaving. The staff were not helpful - they only pointed directions. Towels and robes were old and had bleach stains. I'm not sure what happened - had heard wonderful things before. Perhaps they were a jewel previously, but not anymore. The decor is nice, though.

Pros: decor, tea tree products, tubs

Cons: , disrepair of facility, painful massage

Posted 07/16/04

We went to this place based on reviews found online. I wanted to say that it was a fantastic experience. Since our initial visit, I have experienced several facials and my boyfriend has had several massages . Johanna has always been so pleasant and engaging when I made appointments or while waiting for our appointment times. Check out their website and give them a try, I truly believe that you will NOT be disappointed......

Pros: Great Massage, Nice Spa

Posted 04/01/04

I am so pleasantly surprised. Juvenex has a very relaxing atmosphere. I have been to Nickel and Oasis, But found this nicer, cleaner, and fancier. Plus, I was afraid of a facial because I thought they hurt. This was an amazing, relaxing experience which I will do again. When I was done with the facial and was relaxing in the Igloo, they served cold water in the sauna to me before I had to ask. And when I got out of the Igloo, they had fresh fruit (Ice cold watermelon, Honey Dew and the sweetest pineapple). Very Nice! Can't wait till they open the Men's floor.Very reasonable Prices, for what you get!!!

Pros: Pain free Facial, Friendly staff, Service,Service

Posted 03/25/04

Wow is all I can say! I've heard the buzz and this place really lives up to it! Friendly staff, warm and inviting decor, luxurious room and the best massage I have ever had!

Pros: best massage, friendly staff, inviting decor

Posted 03/22/04

Spa rituals and modern-day comforts make for relaxing a religious experience, but what I found most pleasing was the little touches, like the abundant fresh flowers, the palm trees and the overall attention to details that makes Juvenex my favorite spa. I spent spent abut two hours there and felt like I was away on vacation somewhere. Ronnie's facials are one of the best I have had in years. I recommend this spa, and Ronnie as the best in town.

Pros: expert facials, flowers, Soaking tubs

Posted 03/19/04

I am a regular at Juvenex. I was talking to larisa, my favorite russian facialist there about having to go to see my Dr. for ear wax removal. Much to my surprise she said they do it with candles there. I hate going to Dr. for this. Specially when they shoot the warm water in your ear(very painful). Obviously i tried it and loved it. Specially with the neck massage as the candle burns in your ear and sucks all the was out (without any pain). Much better than forcing it out with high pressure water. Juvenex never stops to amaze me. I love Em.

Pros: Unusual treatments, always original, Best facials

Posted 12/09/03

I was there last friday for the first time. The tour they give at the begining of the visit explained how everything is designed to be a 'Healing' spa. The Jade, the chinese medicine in the steam, the natural infusions in the soaking tubs, the mud detox room. I am sold. I was very impressed by the tour and took the tour guide's advise and thumbed thru the books they have in the lounge. They are the best healing spa I have seen. and I have seen many spas in the us and in italy where I grow to love and appreciate spas.

Pros: jade, herbal steam, mud room

Posted 12/07/03

I am a professional massage therapist myself. When I read the 'day spa' magazine's annual awards issue picking juvenex as the best, and living only a 20 minutes train ride away, I had to try it. I see why they were picked. My massage was excellent and the atmosphere is out of this world. I highly recommend them. They are the second best, right after me ofcourse.

Pros: Open 24 Hours, Jade Igloo, many modalities offrd

Posted 12/04/03

Juvenex is my first experience with an Asian spa so perhaps is not unusual within that genre. The facilites, robes, amenities are great. However, nudity is definitely the norm. Staff is insistent you shower and sauna upon arrival. At least 3 staff repeated this despite our voiced resistance. Showers are completely open stalls in the walls and visible to all. Facilites are clean, but definitely not ultra-hygienic. I had massage and my friend had scrub/wrap. Massage tables are two and scrub 5 per room. Both services showed little regard for privacy. During massage, therapist left room several times. Little attempt made to keep me covered. Pressure during massage and scrub were very firm and rigorous. However, when we left Juvenex we felt refreshed and were more comfortable with the nudity. Staff were friendly and experienced. Nonetheless, it is a distinctly different spa experience and may not be right for everyone.

Pros: beautiful facilities, not crowded, friendly staff

Cons: unusual atmosphere, not ultra-clean

Posted 11/28/03

I just had the most wonderfully relaxing massage and thorough facial at Juvenex. The massage was completely tailored to my requests and was one of the best I've had in the city. Their massage therapist is GREAT!! Then, the facial left me feeling completely clean (great extractions) and afterwards I left feeling completely revitalized. I definitely feel this was money well spent and recommend giving them a try! They will see me again. They just made my gift list. I have a few places I buy gift certif/s from and I now have added Juvenex to it.

Pros: great extractions , tailored massage, beautiful spa

Posted 11/21/03

This is one of the nicest spas I have been to. The decor is tre' chic, the employees are wonderful people, and the atmosphere is the best in the city. I have had facials, massages and waxing done there and I always leave there happy. I would recommend Juvenex to anyone.

Posted 11/04/03

It has to be New York'ss best kept secret. Juvenex has no sign out front but we had heard about it from friends. The staff was awesome and I ended up getting a Massage and my wife got Facial. My wife was thrilled when they offered a free fruits. Specially coming out of the hot Igloo the ice cold watermellon and pineapple was so nice. We will be going back to Juvenex spa."

Pros: unique, friendly staff

Posted 11/03/03

My husband and I went there for the first time together. I am a regular client and most of the girls know me by name. But this is the first time I took my husband there for his birthday treat. They had rose petals covering the bridge leading to the saunas. Cake, and champaign and the VIP room was decorated with candles and flowers. My husband thought I had spent over a grand for the night. He loved the treatments and though he gets regular massages, this was his first Korean styls scrub and he loves it. Both he and I felt very very special.
Juvenex is very highly recommended by the both of us.

Pros: special treatment, very nice design, Jade Igloo

Cons: We couldnt find any

Posted 09/25/03

my comments only pertain to the stone massage because that's what i had. the stones were never "strategically placed" on my body. they were dumped on me. the therapist violently scrubbed me down with the stones as if they were soaps and that i haven't showered in days. i tried to make it known and she would lighten up the pressure but very soon, it was a major scrubbing session again. stones were also flying all over the place. the therapist is a nice lady and she worked hard, i.e. she scrubbed hard. i never had a stone massage before but that just didn't feel right. i was not relaxed and did not find "inner peace" as the menu suggested. definitely not worth the price - $110.

Pros: courteous staff

Cons: overpriced

Posted 09/10/03

My co-workers keep talking about Juvenex lately. I finally decided to give them a try on my day off last Thursday. I can see what all the rave is all about. This Spa is quite different. It is beautiful and like Ronnie explained everything has a health benefit behind it (the 3 saunas, the tubs, etc). She is so knowlegable. About the spa in general and specifically she is so great with the Facial. She is an Ace and Juvenex as a whole is spectacular. I was just amazed how empty the place was. There were like 4 clients there. They are great and I wish them the best.

Pros: Spectacular design, Healing, Pampering

Posted 08/21/03

I was stranded at the Grand Central station, thinking this is a 2 hour outage walked over to Juuvenex. They had no power but the place was lit with candles, tubs were full and igloo hot, only the steam did not work. Had a wonderful massage and was there for at least 4 hrs when they announced they were closing. They did not charge me, and offered me a ride. Needless to say it was a gift from heaven. I love them and will always remember that day at Juvenex. These folks are special.
Love,
Rose

Pros: Wonderful spa, poeple are great, they are 4 real!!!

Posted 08/15/03

This place is wonderful. As soon as you enter you feel the stress melt away. The atmosphere is very relaxing. After a good massage and facial, you feel like a brand new person. The staff is knowledgeble and friendly, the service divine. Truly an awesome place!

Pros: friendly, atmoshphere, one of a kind

Posted 06/20/03

I drove over an hour to get there. Though I go to spas alot, I had never heard of Juvenex. I was amazed of the beauty and feel of the space, and then was blown away by the best massage and facial I have had for along time. Perhaps my massage is bali might top this one. But nothing close to it in the NY/NJ area. Overall I will drive back with pleasure. They have find a regular client in me. I strongly recommend them.

Pros: expert staff, amenities, jade sauna

Cons: too far from rockland

Posted 03/11/03

I went to Juvenex on V-day and found to my surprise, couples were there as part of a Valentine's Special. Women were given cheap, disposable underwear so that we wouldn't feel uncomfortable. I should have been notified that there were going to be men there. I was getting a scrub, completely naked right next to a gawking guy in the steam room. On top of that, I had to wait 3 hours before I recevied my first treatment.

Cons: Disorganized

Posted 02/26/03

The most impressive overall service to top the beautiful design makes this the best spa in town in my opinion. I am just finishing up a great book on spas around the world and beleive Juvenex has captured the essence of what I am reading. I love the spa and can not recommend it highly enough. The service is incredible. I have heard they get a lot of celeberties and they sure treated me like one.

Pros: Friendly, beautiful, Unique

Posted 02/01/03

I exchanged about 15 emails with their info desk before going there. They were so nice and responsive. And their massage and facial therapists were even nicer. I love the place, and loved my facial and massage but I decided to log on and write for their staff. They are so helpful, sweet, and lovely. Thanks you. You have a client for life.

Pros: Best service

Posted 01/13/03

I had been to Juvenex a few times and purchased their 'Jade glow addiction' package. which pretty much gives me unlimited access for a year. I go there once a week and am loving it. They are not kidding either, I do have a glow on my face everytime I leave the spa. I spent some time reading the books they have there on Jade and am becoming an addict. Jade Rules!

Pros: Close 2 my work, The Glow on my face, Very relaxed atmosphe

Posted 01/07/03

I went there last month with my friends. When we left we all were sure this was too good to be true and were worried they will change and either let up on the service . raise their prices or something. Well, I was back (alone this time) and I was so pleased to see they have changed for the better. The place is even more beatuiful with all the new plants, and decorations. Even their great , great massage/scrub/facial intoductory package is better. Now they offer a ginseng facial. Just Pure Perfection! Keep it up Juvenex.

Posted 12/31/02

I came across this spa by chance. I usually go to the spa across the street from them. Saw the sign in the street and went in, and am now addicted!! They have the most wonderful treatments, friendly staff and beautiful spa. Miss Yipak has outdone herself. I've been to many spas, including the Golden Door, the Venetian, and nothing compares. I love it!!

Pros: Variety of Treatments, Friendly Staff, Great looking

Posted 12/30/02

Juvenex is amazing. It is like a fantasy land you can easily lose yourself in. I have never seen a spa like it. They treated me so nice I felt like a pampered princess. This is the best christmas gift I have ever received. My hobbie has given me some nice gifts before, but this time he realy outdid himself.

Posted 12/29/02
