Heidy &养生堂 Spa — Attraction in New York

5 stars all around!

This place is a gem! I’m visiting New York and wanted to go to flushing for an affordable foot massage. $20 for a whole hour! Almost seems like too good to be true but it wasn’t.

There is a minimum of $15 tip for over one hour of services (very cheap). I saw that most bad reviews mention the minimum tip, so I was more aware of bringing enough cash to tip well.

During my visit, a guest came in very rude and talked down at the staff and did not receive the same level of service that I did. Remember to treat the staff well and would recommend not to haggle their prices.

I came in with my boyfriend and he got a 90 minute full body massage ($60), and I got an hour foot massage ($20) and 30 minute body massage ($25).

They got us in immediately as a walk in. They were super attentive and nice staff. They aren’t super fluent in English, but didn’t fail to understand all my needs without having to tell them. They could tell I was hot and brought a fan out for me, they got me water and even a rice cake snack, asked if pressure was okay if they felt me tense up.

Foot massage: My foot massage was for an hour and it went over. I watched about an episode and a half of desperate house wives (1 hour 10 mins). My masseuse was attentive, nice, gentle, and knowledgeable. He mentioned pressure points of my feet and where it correlated with my body. He was gentle, caring, and seemed like he was trying to actually give me a nice massage rather than waiting for it to be over.

Full body massage: My boyfriend didn’t give me much details but the takeaway was he would go back at least once a week if we lived here. She walked on his back and felt so relaxed after the massage, we almost turned around and went again.

Overall: 5 stars! Bring cash (tip well!). Treat the staff with respect and you’ll receive...

I'm not one to write negative reviews online but the experience I had here made it difficult not to. The one good thing is the prices -- it's really cheap but I've had a lot better in NYC for just slightly more.

I left their place with more pain than I walked in with. My masseusse was incredibly rough and pinchy. The next day, I quite literally had bruises. I asked several times for her to lighten the pressure (and I don't think the language barrier was an issue here, I asked in Chinese as well) and she would either ignore it, or lighten and then go right back to being rough. There were several times I audibly yelped or said it hurt, sometimes repeatedly, and she would not adjust or would brush it off. I've been to a lot of Chinese massage places before and I do know what acupressure should feel like; this was not it and she missed many of my knots and the actual muscle.

I nearly asked to stop so I could leave early but my friend was getting one as well and didn't want to interrupt them. There was also an odd situation with the draping -- most other places I have been are conservative and would hold the sheet up when asking you to turn over as to protect your privacy. My masseuse lifted it up, so I turned, and then folded the sheet so my chest was revealed. After, when going to my arm, she pulled the sheet down and it revealed my chest again. It was quite uncomfortable.

TLDR: Go somewhere else if you don't enjoy being treated like a punching bag -- there's better in NYC for a...

I just want to express my deepest gratitude. I had just gotten a manicure and pedicure a few blocks away when I decided to surprise myself with an impromptu massage. As I sat in my car, I couldn’t help but think about the process of visiting my go-to spa, Coco Spa on Main Street. I had searched online and found numerous rave reviews about Heidy Spa. I don’t try anything new unless I’ve read at least ten reviews to ensure its worthiness. Well, let me tell you, Heidy Spa exceeded my expectations. Everyone there was warm and inviting. My massage with YuYu (I apologize if I misspelled her name) was incredible. She skillfully worked through all my knots and released all the stress from my body. It was so relaxing that I completely forgot I had my car parked a meter away. I decided to indulge in a foot massage and am currently enjoying the soothing foot rub. I felt so rejuvenated that I couldn’t help but feel like they had decongested me. Thank you so much for this amazing experience. I will definitely be returning. Will also note that my current foot rub with can is amazing. He is walking me through all the pressure points in my foot. Had to come back and edit. I wanted a 30 min foot massage. I was convince todo an hour. Fine! I had already tipped Yu Yu $22 for the hour she worked on me. I gave Can $20 for his hour. Did not appreciate it upon leaving Can was harassing me for Yuyu tipped. They literally ran to the back to make sure i tipped. Soooo only downside of my experience. Please...
