Pearl Body Work

Went there after lunch for a reflexology session as the illuminated sign suggested outside the building and was redirected to another location because they did not «do reflexology» after threatening to blog them out of business she said she misunderstood my desire and offered a reflexology which was nothing more than a foot rub. NOT REFLEXOLOGY. As a Spa Addict, I know good, great and adequate treatments. The place was clean but the services was sup par to say the least

Tried to go there at lunch time but was turned away — couldn’t quite make out what they were trying to say but something about they don’t take women customers. I question the legitimacy of the business as the décor and front door has NYPD posters and stickers all over (rather than the business name) and the massage rooms were lit in pink! Don’t waste your time.

It’s your basic Chinese tui-​na shop — curtains separate the massage tables from each other, the tables are covered with paper sheets and I don’t know if the towels they use to cover you are changed between patrons. Other than that, fairly clean, and the curtains leave some space at the top so it is a little more open which I like, having famously patronized a massage place where the I suddenly realized the gentleman one curtain away from me was getting a happy ending…
Regular massage was so-​so, but my back was killing me from 12 hours every day at the computer, so I dropped in.
30 min — $ 30
45 min — $ 45
60 min — $ 50
30 min of reflexology is $ 40, and this was def. the best part — I asked for 60 minute massage, the first half was fine, a body rub, and even though I asked for more pressure it was somewhat lack-​luster. the second half was reflexology and the masseuse went to town — I completely zoned out and relaxed.
Keep in mind, these ladies (and gentleman) speak very poor English, but if you work downtown and need a quick recharge, not a bad stop.
