Ocean Beauty Spa — Local services in New York

This Massage spa just opened up on Manhattan and Dupont so my gf and I decided to stop by! They don't have couples rooms, but we both were done at the same time in separate rooms. I'm reviewing this as a new business since I believe they have been open for less than a month. The massage was great! I think I may have had two different masseuses, one seemed a little less experienced and one seemed more experienced. When they bring you into the little room, strip down to your underwear and lay face down with your nose and mouth in the hole of the table. (I only add this because they didn't give instructions, but since I've been to others I know the drill) The first half was fine, but just didn't have the hands of someone who's done this day in and day out. I was a little surprised she didn't use any oil at first, but hey maybe that's how she does it. She climbed on my back and put the knees in my lower back, that was really great. At some point I'm pretty sure another lady had taken over because her hands kneeded me like it was the great british bake off. Used oil too. She had some miles on those hands, and just had that system that flowed from one part to the next without hesitation. - my gf really loved whoever did her, she had the same person throughout. She did get the hot stones, but said they were a little too hot for her 🔥. I was suppose to have them too (we got the deal 45 bucks for 1hr massage + hot stones or cupping) the cupping person apparently was not there, so stones were our only option. I didn't get the stones, I'm not sure why since we both asked for the massage with the hot stones. I'm more of a baby when it comes to hot stuff, so I suppose I dodged a bullet there.

All in all, friendly service, good massages, and the women are very sweet and mostly understood our questions/comments. The place is nice, clean and warm, and the fish are huge. We will definitely be going again, and I highly recommend trying out this place and supporting local businesses here in Greenpoint! Oh and since the normal price is 60 for 1hr and we did the 45$ deal I tipped 15 bucks. Not sure how much you're suppose to tip but that felt about right for me. Hope this helps, and sorry I'm not going back to...

Definitely a dodgy place. I lived in the area before covid and remembered it was here so came back. I’ve lived in Manhattan for 11 years and am an athlete so have found amazing value for money with these spots. However, the masseuse (which I highly doubt she was) was acting strange and giggly and then left the room. I got undressed but she quickly came back in and stayed in the room giggling so I asked for privacy. She then left. When she returned she put her hand out laughing and said “pay money now” at which point I laughed and left. Utterly bonkers. I...

Whatever you do steer clear. Not at all legitimate. No oil. No sheet to cover with, but as discovered later that's only so they can remove your underwear and assault you. You'll hear everything through the paper thin walls while petrified, and to make matters worse, if that memory doesn't stick with you, the neck pain from inexperienced masseuses digging rocks into it will. Avoid...
