Snowflakes Spa

I have been coming here for years and it is usually a great spot for an affordable massage. No frills but thorough and the ladies are experts at feeling out your body and working in trouble spots.
That’s said, the last two times have been annoying. They’ve been pretty busy, and very noisy. I have NEVER had a miscommunication with them when I say 30 minutes, it’s understood. Today my boyfriend and I asked for 30MINUTES. We were clear and they opened the curtain to allow us a couple massage. They proceeded to give us a one hour massage. It was great as usual but NOT what we asked for. When we came out, we explained that it wasn’t what we asked for and that we’d like to pay for 45 min since there was obviously a miscommunication between their team. She said she was sorry but they don’t know English. LIES. You just took a phone call in which you spoke pretty fucking good English so stop playin.
I felt terrible disputing because the massage was great and the ladies don’t make bank anyway, but it’s the PRINCIPLE. #scam
Won’t be returning. Actually I will to receive my free massage since I’ve had 10 now, but won’t be after that! When you go be CLEAR and pay attention to your clock.

My sister and I used their services based on Unilocal reviews and we are glad we did! Nothing fancy but great massages at great prices.

I went by the reviews on Unilocal,and the fact that this place was right around the corner from my hotel sealed the deal. WOW, hot stones, hard pressure on my calves, it was a fantastic massage! My calves were crying when I hobbled in, but when I left I was ready for another 50 miles. I highly recommend the Snowflake! On a side note, if you need dim lighting, incense and a complimentary tea before the massage, look elsewhere. If you need a great massage at a fantastic price, go to Snowflake. And tip generously, the girl who did my massage put forth a lot of effort.

Awesome spot if you’re looking for a good treatment and nothing fancy in terms of ambiance. $ 50!gets you full body with hot stone and a foot massage. My masseuse worked in me so hard and so well, I walked out of there leaving behind all the stresses of the city.

Have you ever slept funny and woken up with a stabby pain in your neck that stretches all the way into your shoulder and down your back, generally making life unbearable, no matter what you do? THIS is the place to go when that kind of thing happens. $ 50 for an hour massage (or $ ¹⁰⁄₁₀ mins, $ ²⁰⁄₂₀ mins, etc. below that) and he worked almost exclusively on my problem areas. I’m a little tender today, but I can turn my neck without crying. It’s not a fancy spa– curtains separate you from the person next to you — but it’s clean, they do a good job and the price is right. And sometimes, that’s all you need.

Wow. I just finished my massage here and highly recommend this place. Get over the décor and look past that. The massage was honestly the best I have ever had. I’ve been to my share of country clubs and luxury spas around the world but wow… This place gave me the ultimate satisfaction! For the past month, I had been experiencing lower back pain which crept up after doing barre class and carrying furniture… And decided to come here because of its proximity to my apartment. SO GLAD I DID! Very inexpensive and the massage… Spectacular. Fate had me paired up with Jenny and she took care of my problem areas and applied appropriate pressure. I will be back! And what was awesome was that I waltzed right in in between going to Duane Reade and the liquor store. Ah… I highly recommend this place.

Regular customer at snowflakes but after today I’m not sure. I usually get the 60 minutes for 50 $. I’ve gone about 15 times and every time the masseuse gets and works every part of my body in the allotted time. This was be first time that the masseuse didn’t. I personally think it was either a) not really the full hour and/​or b) the fact that she worked the SAME section of my upper back for entirely TOO long. It got to the point where I was like «okay, does she know what she’s doing anymore». Out of the «hour» I was there she neglected to get in some footwork. She asked «15 more?» which absolutely threw me for a loop. I swear it was only about 8 – 10 minutes (I have an uncanny gift for estimating) and I heard her go for the clock and hit the alarm. I usually pay 50 plus a 20% tip but today I was charged 65 plus tax. I left very unsatisfied and had pain where there previously wasn’t.

They always treat me right here. The prices are so reasonable and they have a get 10, get 1 free deal. I come here often, as well as my partner does.
They will do according to your wishes, light or hard, upper, lower, etc.
I am glad I found them. I live right by, which makes it so much better.

I got a really good massage for the price I paid. Very friendly staff. I definitely will be going back there.

This place is the BOMB. Due to the 10 hours that I spend sitting in front of a computer every single day, my neck and back have been experiencing a lot of stiffness as of late. Thank god for this full body deep tissue massage for saving me from the pain. $ 30 for 30 minutes is a great deal in midtown west. The ladies here are super sweet yet know how to give a VERY strong massage. I asked for a lot of pressure, and I’m pretty sure I heard my back crack at least 5 times.
This place isn’t fancy, and I’m not giving it 5 stars for the décor, just 5 stars because of the experience. It’s efficient and comforting so gets the job done right. There aren’t any rooms, just dividers, so you might hear the person in the next compartment grunting from the pain /​joy. Don’t worry though, the dividers are basically ceiling to floor, so you can take your clothes off for the massage without any worry!

I desperately needed a massage today because I had a kink in my neck from sleeping on the extra «bed» in my sisters hospital room… she just had her 3^rd baby!!!
I digress… ok, found the place on Unilocal and it seemed reasonable with good reviews so I gave it a try.
What I loved:
The massage! She listened to my concerns/​problems and totally worked me out very well. They have the ceiling bars for the therapist to hold as they stand on me… she was just as amazing with her feet as she was with her hands! I’m feeling so much better.
What I liked:
It seemed clean and they were ready to take me right away. They were professional and courteous.
What I disliked:
There are no «rooms» but just curtains that keep you from the other customers. It was a little too warm in there for my comfort.
What I hated:
There is a $ 1.50 credit card fee per transaction. Doesn’t say that anywhere but on a paper behind the desk that they showed me AFTER I complete my massage. I really dislike like those sneaky tactics.
I would totally go back (with cash!) if I needed a quick fix in the future.

The massage was average nothing to rave about. I went here based on the good reviews. I have to say that people must be blind, the place is filthy and run down. I understand it’s a no frills curtain type of separation but please WASH THEM at least once a week. The bathroom was the worse no paper towels to dry your hands just a dirty towel blood on the floor urine smell.
I’m never going back there are way nicer places in NYC.

Massage was super amazing — great pressure, movement, and my body felt so good afterwards.
Don’t expect a fancy spa. This is a place simply to get a good massage and that’s it. Remember to clarify what you want them to work on. If you just say you want a massage for 30 min they’ll start with their regular 1 hr routine and ask if you want to add more time to work on the other areas. Price is affordable (20 min for $ 20, 30 min for $ 30…). They add on extra $ 1-​$ 2 if you pay by card. I wasn’t told I had to pay 20% tip like the other reviewers were so maybe they changed this policy? Walk-​ins are fine. Completely recommend this place to rejuvenate after a day of shopping and walking around time square.

Talk about amazing!!! I am simply the pickiest person known to man. This is always an incredible experience CLEAN INCREDIBLE SERVICE AND THE PRICE IS PERFECT!!! GO NOW!!!

I’ve had a lot of massages in my day, this literally was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. You’re not going for ambience you’re going for a quality massage. This is where the locals go!

I recently arrived in New York for work. This means both living in one of the most exciting cities in the world, as well as putting my spine in a bad position for long hours every day.
So I decided to adapt, and do what a lot of New Yorkers do as well — get a massage! After some Unilocaling I decided this was the place I should go. And no regrets! Ok, it looks kind of small and there are only curtains separating you from the other people, but it’s pretty cheap as well. But what’s most important here — the massage was AMAZING! The girl who worked on me was Rita. She is tiny, but she had superstrong hands and knew exactly where to press. I loved everything: the part where she massaged me when the towell was still on me, the way she put her elbows in my back (I am serious!), and then when she got out the hotstones, I just felt my muscles relax and the tension went away quickly. Rita was also really nice. I specifically asked her to work on my back, so that’s what she focused on for the 45 minutes.
All in all, my back felt a lot better for weeks after. I can highly recommend and will definitely go back!

Amazing experience after the concierge at my hotel told me that this was a great place to go if you don’t want the glitz and glam. It’s a little store that you walk into and then are greeted by a lovely hostess and taken back to your «room.» Like my hotel said no «glitz and glam,» but man that was one of the best massages that I have had in a long time!
One thing that didn’t really make me too happy was that by the time my hour was up, she had just started on my front side. She then asked me if I’d like the massage to go longer and I said «yes» because I was in the moment and it was truly relaxing. About $ 80 later, I had a massage that was well worth it.
Definitely will be coming back!

Let me start off by saying that if you are looking for day spa to treat someone special, you might want to look somewhere else. However, if you had a long day at the office, or are just looking for some special attention for an hour, this is your place!
It is no frills, but that is why I love it so much. I can come here regularly and get a high-​quality massage at an affordable price. I believe that if you ask for an hour massage, they pretty much just do their standard massage consisting of a mixture of shiatsu, hot stone, and deep tissue. The lady who gave me mine used great pressure, walked on my back (which felt amazing!) and was very friendly.
The above combined with their late hours makes this place my new go to spot! Highly recommended!

I had an hour to kill and had been looking for a fair priced spa for a few days. I was in the area and decided to stop in here for a no frills massage.
I think the woman who worked on me was named Sunny. We were in the first «room» which was a curtain separating other curtained off massage tables. There was a cheap towel to cover myself and paper towels covering the table. I would assume that the sheet under the paper towels as well as the towel had been used a few dozen times without a wash.
Anyway, the massage itself was very good but if you’re the type of person that cares if a few random people are looking at their ass, this is not the place for you. As I was getting undressed, a few customers walked by which moves the curtain more than some would hope. My masseuse was the go to person for phone calls and random questions. I assume it was because her English was pretty good. Because of this, I got neglected a few times when she had to leave the room to talk to a customer 2x, get one the phone once and talk to other employees (who came into my curtain) at least 5 – 6 times. At first she whispered, but I guess since I’m not a complainer, she got more comfortable and was talking in a regular voice over my naked body.
Honestly, I’d totally come back here. The price, paired with the massage was worth all the other crap. They also give out punch cards. 10 massages and you get 60 minutes free.

The appearance of this place is really unattractive. But I was extremely stressed and could even hear my muscle crying, I just decided to give it a try.
Never felt so GREAT after receiving a massage treatment.
I got the 60 minutes deep-​tissue service. The masseuse didn’t talk or chat but totally care about my reaction, like my back was really sensitive. I didn’t feel any difference from my previous massage experience but I noticed that every press was very accurate and firm. She has the best skill and really knows how to relax the muscle without making you bruised. I didn’t notice whether the service included foot scrub or not. When I walked out of the store, I was so surprised to find that, not only my whole body was so light, but my feet was so smooth! I felt like I had been cleaned up from the inner and couldn’t stop smiling, feeling grateful and satisfied from my heart.
Pricing is totally reasonable. Forgot to ask the masseuse’s name but I would definitely come again next time I need a massage. This was just an amazing experience.
