Best Massage in NYC!

by Bjorkgrl27 at Citysearch

I've had many massages both in NYC at some of the top spas and abroad (in Italy, Croatia, Japan, etc) and the massage I had today surpassed any I've had before. The masseuse had the strongest hands I've felt for a woman. I like a firm massage and usually the masseuse doesn't have enough strength to last for the whole hour, but Vanessa had some of the strongest hands - stronger than many massages I've had done by males. Her technique was like no other - every spot she touched felt so good and she really worked out the knots I had in my back - you could tell that she was highly-trained. The massage also offered other small nice touches - which included a chocolate waiting for us on our massage bed, heated massage tables, a hot towel was pressed on our feet after our feet were massaged, eye masks for our eyes when we turned on our backs, etc. The spa itself is peaceful, warm, inviting, and clean. They did a great job with the design and layout of the spa. Our actual massage (we had a couples massage) took place in a room which had natural light coming through - which was a very nice touch.

Overall I would highly recommend this spa and the massages to everyone. I can't wait to start to tell my friends about this place, especially for those who live in Brooklyn - the location is convenient in Park Slope. But even for those who live in Manhattan - it's well worth the ride out. Again, Vanessa gave the best massage I've ever had and I look forward to going back to her!

Superb Spa - rivals the best spas in NYC with a much warmer ambiance

Going to D'Mai is like to going to your best friends home...warm and inviting. Only this best friend will pamper you with extraordinary treatments and superb products. The massages are are excellent but the facials divine!

Lana, the facialist, has hands of gold. I have been geeting facials since the early 1980s and this woman Lana is truly the best. Knowledgable, thorough, gentle, pampering and a wonderful soul. Her facials take years off my skin and it glows.They do not push products onyou although there productes are superb and reasonably price for the quality.

All in all I highly recommend D'Mai

nice spa experience

i'm not one for pampering myself - in fact i could be a bit awkward when people are tending to my every need - but at d'mai i indulged. the staff are sweet and mellow (just how you want it for a relaxing experience) and my massage was heavenly. the facility is quiet, sensual, and smells incredible. the decor takes you off the streets of park slope and plops you into a dim & tranquil world, which to some might be disorienting, but that's just what i needed. the massage table is heated (just enough) so you don't have to worry about getting cold. faina was an attentive massage therapist who immediately recognized the problem zones and focused her energy on working them out. it is pricey, but for those who can afford it, or for the special occasion or gift, i think d'mai is worth it.
