Forever Spa

Loved this place, they have a variety of options for treatments from toe to head and really good deals, the staff is really friendly and helpful. I recommend the full body massage and if you have a lot of stress or tension I recommend you cupping, it releases a lot of tension from your back. The head massage was really nice too and it makes you feel like they preparing you to sleep. My money was well spent lol.

My husband & I came here to celebrate our 12 year wedding anniversary. This is exactly what we needed after a long day of exploring the city. I would love to come back here and bring my girlfriends. Queenie did an absolutely amazing job. I asked for deep tissue, and she definitely got DEEP into my tissues. I was on the verge of tapping out a few times, but my mind and my body knew that this is exactly what was needed. She used several different stretching, massaging, kneading and warming techniques to actually allow my muscles to relax. I was full of so many knots. I enjoyed the foot massage service added onto the massage. I could feel her hitting all my tiny reflexology points. I also liked the head spa. This was my first experience with this service. It was so relaxing and a part of the experience was healing to have another woman take care of me. I will beg my husband to take me here when we are in NYC. It's worth the 3 hour drive. Quiet environment. Clean space. We waited about 5 minutes.

For the type of spa it is (low “frills”) and the $99 for 2 hours deal (body massage and head spa), it met and exceeded my expectations. My hair looks great & feels great (see pic). Walking back to the subway some guys on the street even cat called me to say I had nice hair - take that as an endorsement what you will 🤣. Everyone there was nice and made sure I was comfortable. Few details - -It does get crowded on the weekend so if that’s not your vibe maybe try to go a less popular time. -After the head spa it’s just a blow dry not a blow out with a brush - so it’s up to you to know your hair and if that’s going to work for you. This isn’t a hair salon. They do brush it out briefly at the end and put some oil in it. I was prepared having looked at other reviews, and the tip to bring my own brush for that was a good one. - Please be understanding that this is a low-frills place. It’s in the basement and they make it as nice as they can, but you might smell a faint hint of mold at times as the other reviews said. They give you a clean towel, but it’s not a five star hotel. If that’s not your thing it doesn’t have to be but just have the right expectations going in. That said, the service is great. I have been to fancier spas only to have disappointing massages. This place asked me what level of pressure I wanted and paired me with someone based on that.

Very professional service. I chose the 99 package for two hours, one hour of head treatment and one hour of massage. It was very relaxing and comfortable!

Got my first ever spa experience here, and I’m not disappointed! I chose the $99 package which included a 1-hour full body massage, 45-min foot massage, and 15-min head massage. My masseuse, Cinty, was fantastic. She constantly checked if the pressure was right. The hot stones during the full body massage were amazing, and I would love to try cupping next time. The foot massage was also spot on. The only downside was the head massage. It felt a bit underwhelming, more like a hair wash than a massage and could have been better. Overall, a really nice experience with a relaxing ambiance. And don’t miss the Chinese biscuits at the front desk, they are a treat! 😋

My fiancé and I did the viral $99 2 hour combo. The overall experience was fine, but the service itself was uniquely poor. Granted, it was very crowded and we had to wait almost an hour for our appointment (it was a Sunday night), but to then keep rushing us in between each treatment was really frustrating. It felt a bit chaotic, and in the end I think each of our treatments were a few minutes shorter than advertised. It could have been an off night so I might try again but with all the options out there, I’m definitely not running to it.

I had my very first hair spa experience at Forever Spa NYC, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, the experience was deeply relaxing and truly therapeutic. Ella is exceptional! She has amazing hands. I went in with a migraine and significant knots in my neck and shoulders, and she was able to relieve so much of that tension. Her touch was intuitive, calming, and incredibly effective. I left feeling lighter, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. This was far more than a hair treatment—it was a full mind-and-body reset. If you’re dealing with stress, headaches, or just want to treat yourself to something special, ask for Ella. I can’t wait to come back.

Loved my experience at Forever Spa! The staff were super friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. The massage was amazing — really hit all the right spots and helped me relax both body and mind. I felt so refreshed afterward. They’ve got a great deal going on right now too — $99 for a 2-hour combo! Totally worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

I genuinely cannot overstate how terrible this experience was. I visited Forever Spa on December 4th--one of the coldest days NYC has had so far, around 30 degrees. I had appointments booked for myself and a friend more than three weeks in advance, only to find out upon arrival that appointments didn't seem to matter since walk-ins were freely accepted. I booked the 2-hour special for $99, which included a body massage, foot massage, and head spa. The body massage itself was fine. My therapist was good, and the pressure was what I expected. Unfortunately, everything went downhill from there. The spa's main service area is in the basement, with constant cold air coming down every time the front door opens. The waiting area is cold. The massage rooms weren't freezing but they were a tad bit cold, but bearable. After my massage, I was given only a wrap for my upper body and instructed to walk to the next room for the head spa. That room turned out to be upstairs--directly across from the front entrance. So there I am, essentially in a towel, covered in massage oil, walking past the open front door while it's freezing outside. No warning. No preparation. The head spa room itself was not heated and felt just as cold as outdoors. I asked if this was the only space used for head spa services, and the answer was no--suggesting this room was likely overflow. If that's the case, then walk-ins should not be prioritized over pre-booked appointments. I requested blankets, which were provided after an apology. However, everything else was cold: the water, face mask, shampoo, and hair treatments. I was shivering uncontrollably. I repeatedly asked if we were almost done and requested to end the service early. My request was ignored. Afterward, I spoke to the front desk. The response was that they'd "check it out and look into it." No apology. No offer to make it right. Nothing. I work at a spa myself and fully understand that people complain over trivial things. This was not trivial. This was a complete failure in guest care, preparation, and basic comfort. I was frozen for the rest of the day and ended up getting sick shortly after. I would absolutely not recommend this place. They showed little regard for their guests' comfort, health, or overall experience. Hands down the worst spa experience I've ever had.

I chose the full body and foot massage. Upon arrival you enter an a common area that is dim lighting and relaxing music. It was not long before I was shown to my private room for the full body massage. The Masseuse was incredibly thorough and I had some problem areas for which she responded appropriately checking in with me. You have to dress then transition to non-private area with a massaging chair for the foot massage. It was the same masseuse and the atmosphere was relaxing and I will return.

Came here with my friend we made an appointment for 8:30p since we were coming out of work. We sat down and had to wait for a bit till they were ready no problem we weren't in a rush. We Registered for the 1 Hour body massage + 45 min head spa+ 15 min foot massage. We were allowed to stay together and thought we were getting a typical massage but it turned out to be pressure point massage that was painful but did help the body get some blood flow to places that I have body aches in. They start off with placing you face down and putting a blanket on your body and rubbing you then pressing down on your pressure points. Unfortunately we tried to communicate that it was a bit painful but they didn't speak English so mama didn't raise no quitter and we powered through the whole thing . Once they where in the middle of the pressure point massage they bring hot stones which felt amazing and they remove the blanket off of you 1/2 way and put oil on you and rub the stones on your skin which felt amazing. Once our timer rang they left the room and we got dressed sat down and waited since they were busy with other ppl so we had to wait a while, they finally had room for only my friend to start the head spa so I continued to wait. When I was finally called to start the head spa you change out of your top and they give you a towel to cover your mid section and lower your bra not remove it. And they massage your face and head and brush your hair. I had no clue this was the head spa part I thought they just rub your head. I did not know they wash your hair & dry it. They rub your face and do a face mask I believe it was an aloe one and they use the metal face massager to stimulate blood flow and collagen. Which was nice. So here's where we drop some points they do not know how to handle non Asian hair. I am a person with very long curly hair. The lady did her best trying to brush my hair I offered to detangle it myself since I know how to hand my type of hair and again language barrier and she gestured no no so yeah.... Not the best feeling reminded me of my childhood when mom would try to detangle my hair. Ouch The hair products they used smelled amazing the rubbing was nice and the metal thing in the hair felt nice but the detangle and trying to dry my type of hair was a definite no. The lady then gave up on trying to detangle my hair and proceeded to sit me down to dry my hair with no brush just by waving around the blow dryer at me and running her hands in my hair with her hands. Again I have curly hair this is not how we dry or straighten our hair. By this time I guess the lady gave up and stop blow drying my hair and just turned off the blow dryer. 1/2 my head was detangle the other 1/2 knotted now and 1/2 dry and 1/2 wet. My hair looked as if I stuck my hand in the electrical outlet. It was bad... lucky I brought a hair clip. Smh And we didn't get our foot massage cuz was now too late. :( If you like strong pressure point massage I recommend this place. If you have curly thick non Asian/indian hair don't do the head spa it will not be a good experience. Idk how the foot massage was.

Very clean and well managed! The combo of head spa/body massage ($99 for nearly 2 hours) was thorough and professional. The head spa was especially luxurious. I highly recommend a visit to Forever Spa.

Pros: We didnt have an appointment before going to this place but they were able to accommodate my cousin and I. BTW we avail the head spa the $70 one it came with facial already. Also, my therapist was good I was relaxed, I like the ambiance very quiet, private and peaceful very definition of relaxation. Cons: The place is too crowded. I get the hype , but I wish they can have more traffic control. Some area doesn't have privacy and loud. Personally, I'm not satisfied with the way they do the blow dry wish they use hair brush. Lastly, the way they handle customers when their done with the service seems rushing to end or to send you out the establishment, like I get it since they don't have that much space, but like give us a minute to breath. Overall I will rate 4 out of 5. Will recommend? Yes with the price the quality is good . Will I go back? Not really too far from my place and would try other place first before being a regular

Not one person is a licensed massage therapist, absolute worst massage ever. They just pour an obscene amount of oil on you and rub your back as if you were a new born baby. TOURIST BEWARE!!!

My first visit to forever spa and would come here again, the staff is kind and have good customer service. I had the two hour deal 1 hour body massage and 1 hour foot massage. The massage was done well and I felt comfortable and relaxed. My only surprise was location, lol. Outside is like whatttt, but when you go inside and downstairs it is much better. Thank you for a good experience. I will be back.

Oh. My. God. $99 for 2 hours. Blew our minds away!! We got there a lot earlier than our scheduled appointment time and they were still able to fit us in which was great. The service itself was soooo relaxing. Perfect after a few days in the city. I got the head spa and body massage combo and loved the body massage way more but the head spa was good too. Everyone was really friendly. Highly recommend trying it out

I had the pleasure of going here twice during my week in Manhattan! The place isn't anything fancy, but the entire team work hard to make sure you have a great experience. Very open to adjusting the pressure for my elderly mother. It was my first experience with the head massage, and my hair has never felt so clean and soft. The blow dry before leaving was very nice considering the chilly temps outside!

Forever Spa - 29 Eldridge St, NYC 3 services for $99 (and it shows) Do not waste your time or money here. My sister and I came because social media hyped this place nonstop. Big mistake. This is not a spa--it's a crowded, noisy, poorly run factory pushing people in and out as fast as possible. The space is dingy, packed, and chaotic. No organization. No flow. No calm. You hear everything--people talking, walking, rushing around. Relaxation is impossible. The "massage" was awful: the two workers spent the entire time talking to each other, applied excessive pressure, and left us bruised. I've never left a spa feeling physically worse than when I walked in. The hair spa was completely half-assed. Rushed, careless, and low quality. The shampoo didn't even smell good, and the technician was clearly just trying to move on to the next person. Nothing felt intentional or professional. I left flushed, overwhelmed, and uncomfortable--my face red, veins popping out, likely from the lack of air and the aggressive pressure. A spa should never make you feel like that. And for the record, I am not someone who hypes shit up unless it's the real deal. If something is good, I'll say it. This was not good--at all. Social media fooled people into thinking this place is worth supporting. It's not. They were clearly not ready to handle the attention and don't care about the actual experience--just volume and money. Cheap price, cheap service. I would never return and strongly recommend you skip this place entirely.

The head spa service was dreamy and side benefit my hair looks so healthy and shiny. What products are they using!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at NYC Forever Spa! From the moment I called to book, Ellie at the front desk was so kind and accommodating--she always makes scheduling a breeze. I tried the head massage, couples 1-hour massage, and oil massage, and each one was pure bliss! A huge thank you to Jenny, Rose, and Xin Xin for their incredible skill and professionalism. They made sure every minute of the massage was relaxing, therapeutic, and exactly what I needed. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and super relaxing--perfect for unwinding. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch massages in NYC! Thank you, NYC Forever Spa!

Great foot and body massage. Arguably the best massage I've had so far. However the rest of the experience was less than subpar. I had called to make a reservation few days before. Was told both Fri and Sat were available. Thought I had made the reservation for Fri. Showed up Friday, was told that there was no reservation made for Fri. While looking over their handwritten booking system, saw my number for Sat instead. Now it's possible that I made the reservation for Saturday but based on the itinerary I had with an out of town friend, I have strong doubts that it was my mistake. Came back Saturday. The place was packed. Was told to wait 20 + min or so. Despite booking for two people, we were separated (which was fine until...). We had booked for 3 service combo. I waited nearly 40 min after the foot/body massage for the head massage. My friend was nowhere to be found. As I was about to start my head massage, my friend messaged me that she was done. The head massage was disappointing. Spent 10-15 min just hair drying and my curly hair was straightened without a straighter without being asked. Felt like I was just getting a hair washed (with a massage) at the hair salon + quick facial with a face mask otherwise. Definitely NOT worth the 40 min wait. Was told while I was waiting 40+ min that they would offer a discount. No discount. Though I did not ask about it and I acknowledge there may have been a discount if I had asked. But the person working the counter by then was a different person than the one that told me to wait 20 + min x2 and offered a discount so I am not sure if they would have honored it. Just be aware. You might have to spend your entire morning or afternoon here or be told that reservation is different. Good massage though.

Had a wonderful 2 service combo: head and massage $99 package. Wow, was it great and very relaxing after the very crazy weekend I had! Definitely coming back, and recommending to my friends Thank you ladies, Jamie

$60 for sauna and 1hour massage. Jenny is my favorite masseuse there from my 2 visits. What more can I say. I'm writing this bc I never want them to close

Just walked out of here and can confidently say it was the top 2 worst massages I've ever received. The guy who massaged me barely used any pressure even when I asked him to increase the pressure, but he did use what felt like all the body oil in the world. I think my neck and traps are even tighter than when I walked in from the sheer frustration of the experience. No one even asked me how my massage was when I was done or paying. It's clear they don't count on repeat customers. Major sigh.

On a rainy Saturday in April, I found myself in lower Manhattan's Chinatown on an unexpectedly cold day. I was inquiring about my preferences for a massage and indicated that I was comfortable with a male masseuse. I was pleased to meet a very friendly and professional, and PT in training who also provided valuable guidance on stretching techniques. I truly enjoyed the experience and would encourage others to visit Forever Spa. If you're fortunate, I recommend requesting Lenin as your therapist. Thank you for a wonderful massage on that rainy Saturday.

Best massage in manhattan. There are quiet rooms with soft music. Professional massage skills.

absolutely exceptional. the best massage ive ever had. I was in pain when I arrived and left an hour later feeling so so much better. and $55 for an hour! the staff are all very friendly and my masseuse was incredible.
