J And S Spa

My husband recommended J & S spa to me. I took his recommendation seriously not only because he’s my husband, but because he’s athletic and gets regular massages to relieve pressure. The women here are good at figuring out where to focus and really give good pressure. I leave feeling relaxed and more alert. So I just bought an 8 package membership, so each massage pretax and pre tip is about $ 34 a session. (It might vary depending on when you buy it. I had a promotional deal.)

Went to this spa using a groupon and had a good experience. Staff did not treat us differently and in no way did I feel a ‘lesser’ customer because I was using groupon, which I have experienced at some other establishments.
The massage was good, the masseuse was a little too gentle and kept asking if she was hurting me. I wish there had been an option for a deep tissue massage, but there wasn’t one with the groupon.
They had great music selection and very comfortable beds and chairs. The facial was just ok, it involved multiple varieties of lotions and pastes being applied to my face. Although it felt nice, my face looked and felt the same after it the facial was finished.
One strange this is that when I called to ask about the groupon, they told me not to buy it online. They said to just come in and mention the groupon to receive the same discount, but that I shouldn’t purchase the voucher through the groupon website.
Overall it was a good experience, nothing out of this world. I would go back to get the discounted massage but next time I’ll skip the facial.

Dropped off my car at Nissan and decided to book an appointment with j and s spa. I found a living social voucher for 60 $ for an aromatherapy massage and mini facial. It was a great experience and Gigi was wonderful I was able to purchase the same deal as a gift card which is good for 6 months.
The place is clean and people friendly and prices are affordable.

Very nice relaxing swedish massage and min facial for $ 60.00 on groupon. Unlike other places, the aromatherapy oil is included in the price (which was a nice bonus for me). The woman spent an equal amount of time on my back and then asked me to flip over and worked my arms, legs and neck… another bonus.
The mini facial was pleasant. nothing special or amazing. just pleasant. My skin looks fine and I am satisfied. The place is super clean, but you do get some outside noise from 5ht avenue from time to time. I was in such a relaxed state and focused on the soothing music and massage.
I took one star away due to the fact that I was asked to pay the groupon price directly to them and not purchase the groupon voucher and I was still charged tax. I even paid in cash. I will address the issue if it happens again. I do plan to go back.

I will always choose clean over fancy any day of the week, and J & S Spa gave me a very satisfying experience. I purchased the $ 60 Groupon for 60 minutes of massage with mini facial, and I would definitely go back. The spa was unassuming and low-​frills, but everything seemed pretty clean… including the bathrooms. I was greeted politely when I entered and taken to a nice, though Spartan, massage room. (The room had a second bed, so I might try to talk boyfriend into a couple’s massage around Valentine’s) There was a space heater in the room, and I appreciated that they had warmed the room in anticipation of my arrival. I was left to get undressed and scoot under the towel. There was some instrumental music playing, but the walls don’t hide much sound… so foot steps and conversations were audible during the massage.
My masseuse wasn’t a big talker, but that’s the way I like it. She did however check with me that the pressure was ok, and totally amped it up when I told her she could go harder (even throwing in some good elbow moves) And I appreciate that when I made a little sound (because she was doing a great job on one of my knots) she checked in with me to make sure it didn’t hurt. Great massage! I felt very relaxed, and my muscles felt great after my knots were addressed.
The mini-​facial was nice, stuff was slathered on, wiped off, slathered on again… I’m not sure if facial stuff was chosen just for me… I was just told I was getting the facial now and then it happened… but there was a lovely facial massage which sent me into a blank, relaxed place kinda like sleep (or maybe I dozed a little… it was very Zen) There was a facial mask at the end, and I kinda rested pleasantly. Since it was cold my masseuse very thoughtfully heated up a towel to place under my neck while I waited for the mask. I really liked that.
It’s not luxurious, but the people at J & S know what they are doing, and provide a clean and comfortable spa, great for a mid-​week massage.

Went to J & S spa today for the first time.
I had the 50 minute microdermabrasion treatment for 40 $ (normally $ 85) with a groupon deal. I called to make an appointment, the lady on the phone told me to pay the groupon price at the store instead of on the site so I wouldn’t have to pay tax later on and I agreed. Which I later had to pay tax anyway.
When you walk in the place looks nice and quiet. The two lady’s who worked there were nice and welcoming.
I’m not sure if the air conditioner wasn’t working but it was fairly hot inside, I had to ask for a fan to cool me off.
The microdermabrasion facial consisted of 15 minutes of the microderm wand working on my face, facial cleansing, a 5 minute face/​neck/​shoulder massage, and a mask applied last. Indeed I left with a face feeling beautiful and refreshed, but I saw no visible changes in my complexion.
For the groupon price it’s worth it, but I wouldn’t go there again for a facial.

I received a birthday present Groupon from my niece but I waited to long to use it and expired. I called to make and appointment and explore my options, the lady on the phone was very nice and told me I can use the value of the Groupon which was $ 60. I then made an appointment, as soon as I arrived to the spa, two very friendly ladies and happy to see me were behind the counter. They show me the spa packages and I end it up choosing the «sweet pampering» $ 65 Anti-​stress therapy for 30 minutes and mini facial for 30 minutes.
They show me the room and asked me if I wanted water and to used the bathroom before the message and facial. The place was clean and the music phenomenal, I had a fantastic message and a very long facial, definitely longer than 30 minutes.
I will come back and get another massage, my masseuse had angels hands.
As I preceded to pay the tax and extra, I saw beautiful jewelry and nice products at the entrance. I bought a beautiful necklace.

I too got the Groupon for the 60 minute massage and the 45 minute facial for $ 60. First I have to comment on the serenity of the place. I knew there were other people there because every once in a while I’d hear a voice or two, but everything was very quiet and calming. The staff were very courteous and accommodating. The room was private and very clean. My masseuse, Angie, was excellent. I enjoyed the facial very much as well. All in all it was a great experience and I will definitely be returning.

This is more of a 3.5 review.
My husband and I went in for a 1 hour facial and 1 hour massage. The massage was average so I think it is priced appropriately at $ 35/​hr. The masseuse did ask me during a few points whether the pressure was fine so I appreciated the communication to ensure I was comfortable. The facial on the other hand was decent but not great. Prior to extractions I always prefer the facialist to use steam to open up the pores but no such luck here. I wasn’t told what was being applied and didn’t feel much of a difference afterwards so I don’t think it was that effective. Other than that I wouldn’t mind going back if I needed a local place for a massage. I doubt I would go back for a facial.

I got a Groupon deal for a 60 minute massage and 40 minute mini facial for 60 $.
First off, i’d like to say that I take my massages very seriously. I go at least once every 3 – 4 weeks, depending on how hectic and crazy work is the day prior. I usually go to Spa Me which is 3 blocks away, but figured i’d give this place a try. Love that this place is 3 blocks away from home, and if I happen to fall in love, it would be perfect when I’m dying for some good rubbing!
I called on a Tuesday afternoon and got a same day appointment. Score! I arrived at 4pm and it was empty. The place is clean, quaint and a no frills kind of spa. If you’re expecting the whole spa-​like experience with dim lights, serene atmosphere and nice décor, this place might not be for you. I was surprised to see that the massage stations are all in separate rooms, none of that curtain/​boxed out room that most spas have. My massage therapist, Tina, spoke minimal English but thats A-​okay because I speak Cantonese and we communicated just fine. I told her I liked my massages firm and hard. I like to always point that out because most people are afraid to snap my bones since i’m a skinny little thing weighing 94 lb. and 5 ft tall. I was told to disrobe and only leave my panties on. There was a pillow on the end of the table for my feet to be elevated which was surprisingly comfortable and relaxing. Tina asked if the pressure was okay and which body part she should pay attention to. She also told me my lower back was extremely tense and concentrated on that area. I love a massuse that asks and listens! The pressure was just right, Tina really took the time to smooth out the knots on my shoulders and upper back. The mini facial, which does not include extractions, was equally awesome. She used oils to give my face a massage, followed by an exfoliating cleanser and a face mask in the end. She even gave me a mini head/​scalp massage that was to die for. I was so comfortable and relaxed during the entire massage that I almost fell asleep, and thats hard to do considering i’m an extremely light sleeper.
They asked me if I liked the massage and if I would like to purchase another time for the price I paid on Groupon. I told her heck yeah! Overall, I really enjoyed my massage and looking forward to coming back.

Got a groupon for a 1 hour aromatherapy massage and 40 minute mini facial for $ 60 which was a total bargain.
Had no problem getting a same day appointment at a time that suited me and staff were polite and friendly on phone and when arriving.
Spa itself was as expected, small neighbourhood joint but immaculate and clean — nice to see actual partitioned rooms rather than just curtain dividers as is often the case.
Massage was fantastic — mostly Swedish with a bit of deep tissue here and there where needed — the Masseuse certainly knew her stuff.
Facial was pleasant and had an appropriate level of skin analysis with products tailored to me.
Felt super relaxed with glowing skin at the end — well worth the good tip on the full amount rather than the groupon price.
Why 4 not 5 — not a huge fan of being pushed to make other purchases. Product and treatment recommendations are fine but I’d rather not ward off so many suggestions and promotions when I’m feeling relaxed after such a nice treatment and just trying to pay my tip. Honestly — the service was so good it speaks for itself and will encourage me to return without being pushed.

Went here again today with same Groupon deal (I purchased two) and though I’m fairly certain I had the same therapist/​esthetician Tina as last time, the massage was great and the facial was great too! Basically, I think the last time Tina spaced out, as she forgot to massage the front side of my body entirely. This time when I turned over, after a very good deep tissue Swedish massage, she gave the flip side equal attention to my surprise. The mini facial was very good this time around and I was given a nourishing/​hydrating mask though last time I was given a modest peel mask. I know they didn’t remember me from the last time and have no idea why this round of service was so much better than the first round. Only 3 stars due to inconsistent service.
Will return only with Groupon.

I’ve been to some of the best spas in Manhattan. The massage itself was equal to that type of quality. The ambiance was no frills, but relaxed, quaint and clean. The service was polite and sweet. It was easy to get an appointment 2 days before. I used the living social voucher ($ 35 each person) for a couples massage and I feel like I just got away with the deal of the century.

Wow… what a great massage I had here last weekend. I bought a voucher from Amazon Local for an Aromatherapy massage and a facial. This place cater to my every need. My muscles feel amazing and the knot in my neck is pretty much gone. This cute small –spa is truly a Gem in good old Brooklyn. It isn’t a luxurious and over the top spa, but it is: clean, simple, and wonderful. I only give this place 4 stars because my friend got poked with injections during her facial (the masseuse should have asked my friend for permission before doing that. Please opt out for injections for a facial because they are not necessary. The massage itself was the best I’ve ever had, and the facial left my face feeling like a baby’s face. The staff was very polite and attentive, although my masseuse didn’t speak English well, that didn’t bother me. We were able to communicate via my friend’s masseuse. Great place and I would totally come back!

Clean and cozy spa in the heart of Brooklyn. My massage was a gift from a friend via a amazon local voucher. The massage itself was wonderful, so relaxing and the staff was great and attentive. My only gripe with them is during my facial they attempted to give me injections without asking me. I think they really should ask people before trying to do that. Other than that, J&s was great!

The massage here was decent and the staff is nice as well. I came here on a weekday afternoon so it was fairly quiet but I can’t speak for how it might be on weekends. The one thing I didn’t like was afterwards when I was paying, they tried to pressure me into purchasing some membership package that I was not interested in. They claim you save money since each subsequent massage turns out a few dollars cheaper but I don’t want to pay for them in advance and be forced to be committed to this one place. I politely declined a few times but they continued the pitch.
I won’t come back because I don’t want to have to deal with being pressured again to buy their membership.

The massage was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. I went because of a Living Social offer for a massage. I already know that I will be back, and I might try some of their other services as my time and wallet allow.
The staff was welcoming and courteous. The facilities were clean and relaxing.

I was wary when purchasing two vouchers from LivingSocial due to the lack of reviews here and my general wariness about purchasing vouchers overall (usually shops that are dying for new business).but I went out on a limb. And boy am I glad.
We went for our massages and facials yesterday and the ladies working on us did a phenomenal job. They start with a massage and follow-​up with the facial. They had us disrobe and get under towels (no sheets sadface) and we weren’t asked if there are problem areas that we’d like for them to work on.
The massage starts with a light over the towel strokes. Like another reviewer, I was a bit disappointed but they did start working with aromatherapy oils shortly after. Still, for me, it wasn’t as strong as I’d like but that’s just my personal preference. To be fair, they had just given massages to another couple (literally minutes before) so maybe they were a bit fatigued (only 3 staff members from what we could tell).
The highlight for us was the facial as they were extremely thorough. Extractions were included and they really worked on my boyfriend’s nose. We got a mask at the end and my face was super soft, clear of blackheads, and felt so refreshed. No steamer for the pore opening though in case you’re wondering. They used alcohol/​astringent pads to open them up instead. Overall, it got the job done and I was pleased.
1 star off because it was a bit cold in the room, we only had towels (albeit large) to cover us as opposed to the usual sheets, and the massages were a bit on the weak side (for me… but I could just be one of those who love the pain of a massage)
I’m completely okay with no frills massage «spas,» especially when it’s at a very reasonable price. So I was just a bit excited to try out J&S since it’s in my neighborhood and could be done on a random weekend afternoon without too much effort.
