Madison Spa

I thought that the package deals were very reasonable for the area. They spent time and effort into each service. It is not a high end luxurious space, but it did the job for what I was seeking. I would visit again.

Great session. Definitely not a fancy place and possibly family owned. You could tell that the masseuse has a solid background in massage therapy. On the plus side he also offered great life tips. I might come back for a lesson in reiki.

This place is a little eccentric. I bought a Groupon for three facials back in the spring and just used the last one today. Until today, I was not going to come back after I finished the Groupon. My first two appointments were good facials, but the table is very hard and there was no pillow to go under my knees. I also was kept waiting for 15 or so minutes – not good when I picked the place because I work across the street and thought I could just take a lunch hour.
Today’s facial, with Margo (sp?), was amazing. She got a pillow for my knees without me having to ask, and I kept falling asleep, she was so gentle. My face feels amazing and I want to try other treatments «next door.»
The only thing is the table is still hard.

The treatment itself was very nice — I did a chocolate body wrap! — surprisingly relaxing and enjoyable. I left feeling better and more relaxed than when I came in. I am a fan of massages, but I think I enjoyed this treatment more than a regular massage.
I docked a star because some things are so dated about this place. The décor looks like 20 years ago — the owner of this business should invest in a professional interior designer to rehaul (the carpet needs to go and the wall design in the shower room is tacky). The massage tables didn’t have a hole for the face and was hard. And the bathroom didn’t have toilet paper. Those things, however, I didn’t mind so much because after all I got this place from a Groupon, and it was about half the price of what I would pay for a body wrap in a fancy spa in Chelsea or SoHo. The little sauna was nice.
I have 2 advices for the owner:
1– invest in a professional interior designer to redecorate the place, and you will be able to charge a lot more.
2 — the shower time and the sauna time of the body wrap can be twice as long. They felt so nice, I wish it was a bit longer.
Overall, I am happy with my experience.

I’m thoroughly shocked at the lack of professionalism exhibited by the owner of this business! After leaving an unfavorable review she contacted me through Unilocal basically calling me a liar and then saying she would remove my review… I understand her leaving her opinion, but numerous times under FAKE NAMES is not necessary. After I complained to Unilocal,the messages disappeared and I updated my review. She then commented on the review (wrote more untrue statements in trying to discredit me) and after no response she has removed the last comment and written one over it today along with changing the name of her spa on Unilocal.This is crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this. it’s been 2 months since my last review. Get over it!

This was my first spa experience ever, and I absolutely loved my chocolate delight wrap! I had a great massage with organic white chocolate, napped in my little cozy chocolate cocoon, and finished with a warm shower and sauna. To top it all off, I had an assortment of yummy European chocolates, wine, and tea — all my favorite things! Great service, very accommodating. Be sure to ask for margarita!

Irena is the best! I came here after dealing with new breakouts for several months. I had been to the dermatologist who only suggested Retina, but, with my wedding coming up this was too risky, and I was at my whit’s end. I had never had a facial before so was clueless as to which treatment I should get, but Irena analyzed my skin and told me I should go for the oxygen facial and micro term. The actual facial was relaxing and I left feeling great. After 3 treatments I can truly say my skin has improved. I feel much more confident about my skin for my big day. I will certainly be continuing to see Irena after the wedding!

This place is a find! Living in NYC most women know that moving into the city means trying out many spas before you find the «one». This is it! After having been to spas all over the city for facials I am happy to commend madison spa (Irina) to be a great revelation.
Here’s what my first facial was like:
The place is tucked in between streets on Madison Avenue. It’s got nice treatment rooms.
Irina (she did my facial) definitely knows what goes into keeping skin relaxed and happy. I went in with slightly blotchy skin and acne scars. She analysed my skin before making suggestions as to what kind of a facial was best suited for me.
She was honest about my skin and how I could treat it better.
Also not once during the two hour facial, did she push any product endorsement on me (big plus).
Irina then proceeded to treat my skin for two hours (including treatment time for face packs). My facial included a mini micro derm, an oxygen facial and extractions. She was very thorough without pinching my skin.
The best part about this facial was that the next day my skin was actually not red or more blotchy than usual.
I received my fair share of compliments over the next few days as my skin looked rested and happy.
I would love to go back there and see how this feels after 3 – 4 facials.
Definitely recommend.

I called to make an appointment and they were very helpful even though it was late notice. Until I mentioned that I was using a spafinder gift card. Then they told me that they couldn’t do it and perhaps they could take them next week, even though it clearly states on their website that they take spafinder gift cards. I’m not sure what will be different about next week in terms of taking gift cards, but I do know I will not be trying to make an appointment here again. Not today, not next week.

I wish it were possible to give this place more stars because it deserves every last one of them. Have you ever received a full body massage… but on your face? Thats basically the only way I can sum up how amazing my skin looked and felt after this treatment. I kid you not when I say my skin was GLOWING — blackheads gone, skin as smooth as ever and whatever she used during my facial smelled absolutely delicious.
After Irina (the owner) analyzed my skin type, she recommended a step-​by-​step facial treatment which included an ultrasonic dermabrasion treatment, a cooling mask, oxygen rejuvenation, manual cleaning of my pours and a massage from the chest up. Every last second felt amazing — I think my favorite part was the oxygen treatment — it was such a refreshing and unique feeling on my delicate skin.
At one point during the treatment, the owner left the room while my cooling mask dried and I got up to get my phone (because I’m obsessed with it). She came back and pretty much scolded me for not «relaxing» — which I totally appreciate at the end of the day. And from that point on I did just that– and MAN I felt amazing when all was said and done.
Facials and beauty treatments in general are costly but believe me when I tell you it’s all worth it at 422 Madison Spa. As a woman on the run half the time– it felt great to get some quality me time in. At the end of my treatment, Irina brought me over to a candlelit room with herbal tea, cookies and godiva chocolates. I was pretty much mind blown at that point already but it’s nice touches like these that keep clients coming back. She made me feel so comfortable and was really nice to talk to during my treatment that lasted over an hour and a half. She has been doing this for over 20 years and is amazing in her line of work — a true professional that works wonders!
I’m 100% booking my next appointment soon… highly HIGHLY recommended!

This might be New York’s best kept secret — and possibly its best spa. I will say that yesterday I got the best facial of my life. That’s pretty serious.
I had a European facial which included microdermabrasion, extractions, oxygen facial treatment (which is what Madonna uses to look so young!) and a slew of other services. It is evident that the spa’s owner knows what she’s doing and that she’s both knowledgeable and passionate about her work. It shows. She was able to explain what she was putting on my face and why — as well as the effect it would have on my skin. She was right, since I went out a few hours after the facial and received complements about how fresh faced I looked. I could feel that my skin was tighter and more alive.
The best and most surprising part for me was that after all the extractions I didn’t have one bit of redness. I have very fair and sensitive skin so usually I leave a facial blotchy and red. This time, I was able to hit some stores minutes later and know my face looked absolutely fine. No redness! Even today my skin looks better than it has in years!
I also appreciate how warm and inviting the spa is. Everyone is very friendly and after my treatment I was able to relax with some tea and chocolates in a dimly lot comfortable room. I didn’t want to leave! Honestly, this is the place to go and after a decade in the city I’m glad I finally discovered it.

I bought a head massage through Spa Sally and was really disappointed. She did not go to the 15min that the voucher stated, but she did when I pointed it out to her. It was not worth $ 25 and I would not recommend this place.

422 Madison is a relaxed cozy spa.
The staff here is very easy-​going, accomodating and great and helping to relax you and ease your cares away.
The prices are very reasonable.
I really come here to relax after a very long week or day at work.
I can come and escape from my worries and know I can let the massage therapists knead my worries and stress away.
Very recommended.

I got the combo of foot refloxology, hand, scalp, neck massage and «healing face mask» i really liked it, especially the face mask/​massage. irina said she invented it. i dunno, i just know my face was glowing and not all scrunched up for once. Its really an office, with a miniscule waiting room. no frills.. . but the prices are reasonable.
my only complaint is the communication was really bad. the woman who did my feet told me to put a robe on when she was done. the robe still had candywrappers in the pockets from the last person, so i lost all relaxation. Then irina came in and said i should’ve remained laying down. Oh, there is one other complaint, they kept leaving the door open. That also made me lose some of my mellowness. Now that I know the drill (stay laying down), I’ll be back and insist they keep the damn door closed.

It is not a modern spa, it looks more like your grandmother’s house with random decorations everywhere. I got the Slim Fast package and was not satisfied at all! I have a back problem and before starting my back massage they never asked me about sensitive or health issues. Then they just had me waiting around for 45 minutes wondering where i was suppose to go or do. Finally they came back in gave me greasy mens sandals to wear from room to room. They also didn’t have a designated place to put my purse and clothes so as more people came in our stuff was being moved everywhere. When i went to leave my shoes were missing and after a half hour were found in a room i never went into while someone was getting a massage. None of the treatments were great and would not recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing day!
