Best Spa Treatment I've Ever Had! This is the best spa treatment I've ever had - I've been to spas at 5 star hotels all over the World and to the best spas in Manhattan, but none were better than this. My therapist Sharon is AMAZING - I have never felt so relaxed and comfortable. I was motivated to get the massage by a strained calf muscle and the mud, scrub and rub helped quite a bit. If you live in the are, there is no need ... Read More On CitysearchAlywitt 7/15/2009
fantastic services for sane prices! Sharon is absolutely the best massage I have ever had and I have been around. She is a fabulous person and her massage is effective and feels amazing. I see her almost biweekly for chronic back and neck pain and it is the only thing I have been able to find that gives me relief. The facials are amazing as well and the natural products are the best. They used to use eminence organics and they are ... Read More On Citysearchdoublemg 3/27/2009
Organic All-Natural All The Way!! I have been searching so long for a great day spa that used quality all-natural products and approaches to skincare and body wellness, Ascend is that spa. I had the Fire & Ice facial which was recommended to me for revitalizing my skin which was suffering from "winter dullness" (so I was informed). I wasn't aware of what that exactly meant but my very informed and experienced esthetician expla... Read More On Citysearchtoocute4u 1/22/2009
Best Massage EVER!! I am not exaggerating. Just 5 hours ago I received the best massage ever and I am not new to massage therapy. I have been receiving massages all over the world for many years now, as my job requires that I travel alot, and this was by far the best. I had my appointment with Sharon by I'm excited to try the other therapists. Trust me you will not be disappointed. Read More On Citysearchmissyfoo 1/15/2009
Unique Treatments and Professional Staff I received a gift certificate for Christmas to Ascend Day Spa, which I was very excited about because with the recent financial strains I have been experiencing I needed at least a day vacation. I choose the Scrub, Mud, Rub Special I found in their Promotions page of their website www.ascendspa. The treatment was unique from anything I have ever had, I was exfoliated with Salt Scrub, hydrated w... Read More On Citysearchhippiechick34 1/15/2009
Wonderful New Facials I recently had a facial done at Ascend by their new esthetician Maria, who is absolutely a gem. I had her holistic based facial which included a Reiki massage technique that got me completely relaxed. Her hands were soft yet powerful making the extraction period almost painless. I had the all natural enzyme masque that proved to have the same glowing effects on my face as microdermabrasion withou... Read More On Citysearchflowerchildexp 12/1/2007
a heavenly feeling from queens new york! I can only speak for myself but I've been going to Ascend Spa every month for about a year and its the only place I've ever found where I feel completely comfortable in their care. I've had everything from massages to facials to manicures and pedicures and every appointment I've had has been excellent. I've found the staff to be skilled, professional and organized. Their prices are very reasonabl... Read More On Citysearchannarhomina 11/18/2007
Ascend Spa - very unprofessional staff - not worth it - Stay Away ! Total back facial time - 25 minutes - I went for a back facial and paid $40 with what was supposed to be 15% off - well I got a steam for 15 minutes, very rough wipe off of the sweat with a towel which scraped me, then extraction for 3 mins - just to start off I am supposed to be relaxing, huh. Then I got rubbed down with a scrub which was wonderful but lasted all of "1 minute". Then SHE put a ... Read More On Citysearchhellodolly62168 4/6/2007
Expensive?? Rude?? I Don't Think So... I felt compelled to respond to the last review of this spa. $35.00 for a Brazilian Bikini is NOT expensive. I live in Manhattan and I make the trip on the LIRR out to Ascend because the quality and level of expertise is comparable if not better than most day spas in Manhattan and the prices are great!! Maybe this client was getting her waxing done in a nail salon which I'm certain can not comp... Read More On Citysearchspascout 12/6/2006
A hip, modern Queens salon that's pricier than Manhattan. This was a clean, ultra cool Queens salon that definitely caught my eye's attention. I would say the service was average and the employees were nice (except for this one manager who had an attitude and spoke down to you).
Going in solely for a Brazilian (Thank God!) I couldn't believe how pricey it was (that was a big disappointment for me)! I nearly paid twice what I would have paid if I was... Read More On CitysearchEurAsianChik 11/12/2006
First time client, definitely returning I had my first facial yesterday with Carmen. This was my first visit to Ascend as I was a regular at another salon but am looking for a new skin care salon. I found it on my first try. Staff is welcoming and friendly, Carmen gives a great facial. There was no hard sell of products as you typically find. I have been to a lot of places and they mostly just seem to care about selling you produc... Read More On Citysearchabramsj 6/11/2006
User review by 1redrunner This place is okay if you live nearby, but I wouldn't make a special trip. The prices are not that hot- you can definitely do better. I tried it twice but it just was not great. It's small so it gets kind of loud which is not very relaxing. Read More On Citysearch1redrunner 11/16/2005
Relax like royalty I went in for a massage and after 1 hour, I felt like a new man. I never had a professional massage before so I didn't have anything to compare it to but there's no way to describe how de-stressed I felt. From the moment I walked in, the staff was very pleasant and polite. My experience was so good that I sent my wife in for an all day spa package and she LOVED IT! They also have the best pri...

went once I felt this place was over priced for queens. I thought the prices they charge should be in forest hills or manhattan. so if you decide to go there make sure you bring alot of money. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 10/18/2005
We reconnected after going to Ascend I would just like to say that I never went to a Spa nor thought of surprising my girlfriend with a full day spa treatment, until I read about Ascend Day Spa in a recent TimeOut Mag Spa issue. When I stopped by to purchase a gift certificate I was a bit neverous because I had no idea what services to purchase, but the friendly staff was extremely helpful in walking me through the process. Overal... Read More On Citysearchyanks08 4/28/2005
A Jewel in Queens Ascend is well worth the trip - it's along side the LIRR station and minutes from Manhattan or Nassau County. The atmosphere is relaxing and serene, clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly without being pushy or fawning.
The massages and waxings are excellent - really excellent - and it's the only place where I've ever felt I got the manicure I really wanted, and everone is so accommodati... Read More On Citysearchagirlfromqueens 3/4/2005
Thank you I had a wonderfully relaxing experience thanks to the ladies at Ascend Day Spa. The facial I received from Carmen was the highlight of my day. She has such a gentle and soothing touch that I almost fell asleep. Thank you Carmen, I look foward to my next treatment with you. I also received a manicure and pedicure that was very detailed. In other words, Rosa followed my suggestions and gave me the ... Read More On Citysearchsandraecruz 10/30/2004
I love this place! I must admit that I am not one to leave reviews or fill out surveys, but I feel it would be unjust not to take a moment to share the experience of Ascend Day Spa with others. The cozy atmoshpere of the spa attracted my attention. Everyone was pleasant and the owner was very attentive to my needs. I felt welcome and relaxed, and my facial was delicious. I would highly recommend this spa and pla... Read More On Citysearchkathy696 10/11/2004
Wonderful Experience!!!!! What an amazing place! I first went for a quick manicure a few months ago. Now I'm a regular customer. Ascend has such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The staff is great. I get the Eminence Facials on a regular basis, along with waxings, manicures and pedicures. I recently tried thier Body Scrub and Wrap- which was excellent. I met the owner and she was a delight to talk to. Not only was she ver... Read More On Citysearchsilverwolf_s 10/6/2004
