Lexson Therapy (Appointment ONLY) — Local services in New York

I almost regret writing this review, as the owner, Lexon, was very professional and accommodating. However, my massage wasn't with him, it was with someone who was extremely inexperienced - I paid $150 for 90 minutes and all I could think the entire time was how I was wasting my money.

The masseuse I was assigned was obviously a trainee; there was no way she had a certificate of any kind. She meant well and tried her best, but did absolutely zero for my massage needs. I had to keep telling her exactly where to pinpoint - only then she'd say "oh, I feel the knot". But then she'd rub the same area over and over and over until my skin started to get sore/sensitive. She couldn't dig deep into the areas I needed, despite my encouragement to use her elbows or whatever she needed to get the job done.

My feet started to cramp up a bit because I was on my front for so long and my feet were stretched out the whole time - she didn't put a pillow under my ankles, even though there were two sitting within arm's reach.

She also used a roller-ball-bearing thing way too much - something someone with zero training could have done; just roll the device up and down my back. Despite 90 minutes, she did not do anything at all with my arms, quads, hamstrings.

The "suite" is someone's regular apartment with just two massage tables set up. It wasn't terrible, but from their website, I was expecting an actual place of business instead of a residence. Someone was doing laundry, and for the first 40 minutes I listened to the dryer compete with normal spa ambiance music - until the music stopped, which the masseuse could not reactivate because the system was voice-calibrated. So she fumbled with her phone for 3 minutes and used pandora to play spa music.

I'm sure Lexon is a great masseuse as everyone else is saying in these comments, but unfortunately my experience was crazy unsatisfactory. Because I know the girl tried, I tipped her 20% as is customary, but I really did...

After reviewing over 40+places I decided to schedule a massage with Alexson at Lexson Therapy for me and my dad as we are nonstop. We have been in pain for a very long time.

My dad went first. Let me remind you he didn't know where he was going. Men are funny sometimes so I didn't tell him. He was a little thrown back but gave in because I told him it was my gift for him to relax for 1 hr for once in his life. For this man to call me 3 hrs later and tell me how great his neck and back felt brought tears to my eyes. He works literally 21 hrs a day so it was great to hear him say how good he felt and he would be returning.

Now fast forward to my massage. I didn't tell him about my pain in the right shoulder and my right hip. For the last week I have had extreme pain that has also had me kind of off balance. With that being said, he started with the neck and back. When your in tune and the balance and energy matches you can literally feel every knot in your body being released and removed slowly. When I tell you that being impressed is an understatement please believe me. Alexson removed almost every knot from my neck and back. He then got to the shoulder and hip and that's where he truly truly amazed me with his skills. Some pp just do it to do it. You can tell he is a true master to his skill. He felt my pain without me telling him anything. He worked the whole right side of my body and relaxed and removed the pain I was suffering from.

He is literally God's gift to massaging. If you could just marry hands every two weeks or had the money to do so this would be the man to see. :)

Once I got in I showered and literally feel out for almost 3 hrs. That's how good the massage was.

FYI He place is very clean and super...

I am so grateful to have come across Alexson and his company. I went right after work one day and was stressed in advanced about the fact that I would be thinking about work the entire time, and that I wouldn’t be able to unwind and be present for my massage. I was holding onto a lot, both physically and emotionally. Within five minutes, I had nothing on my mind but how grateful I was to be there, to be taken care of in a way that I didn’t even know I needed. I didn’t even share this with him yet but I actually teared up within the first few moments because I could literally feel knots and pain leaving my body during this massage. At the end of it I was in a state of euphoria/grogginess because of how much I was able to be present. The atmosphere was exactly what I needed. Music, scents, ambiance, care, comfort - it was absolutely perfect. In my state of euphoria I definitely provided a video testimonial which I am sure encompasses my emotions better than my words, but I tried. Anyway, I sat down to look at my budget and booked my next massage in January. I will be back at least once a month and will continue telling everyone in my life to come see Alexson. Thank you, thank you,...
