Horrible experience I went to GJS for a brazilian wax and I will never go back.
To start, the place was ridiculously hot and humid to the point that my hair frizzed up just waiting to check in. They point you down a hallway and tell you go upstairs and the technician will be waiting for but there was no one there so I had no idea where to go. I finally found the woman that was going to do my wax and she showe... Read More On Citysearchaetienne 11/11/2009
Great Jones Spa Has a Hair Salon That is Fabulous! I love the tranquil atmosphere, the excellent services from massages to facials and that water lounge is superb. However, I must highly recommended the hair salon. I just had the most beautiful haircut and color highlights done. I'm telling all of my friends, but everyone at my office is raving. My hair and skin have Never looked better, I'm hooked on Great Jones Spa. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 9/23/2009

Amazing Facial I had the best facial here to date. From the moment i sat down, everything was perfect. The women was friendly and clearly new what she was doing. Here at Great Jones spa they are very profesional and accomodating. I called last week and they were able to fit me in the following day. I definitely will be back here soon.

Fading Glory When I first stumbled upon this spa 3 years ago - I arranged a friends party there I thought I had struck gold and recommended the place to everyone. Looking back it's clear it was the luck of the draw - as since then this place has proven inconsistent at best. After the first party I organized another party, our booking was made 3 weeks prior, however when we arrived, we found out that 1 out ou... Read More On CitysearchMadiNYC 5/27/2009

Love - Love - Love! I absolutely love Great Jones Spa. I visit all of the time and have even had spa parties there. The level of service is to die for. You can't miss the coed pools, sauna, and steam room. There is absolutely no better way to spend a frigid NYC winter weekend day in NYC in my opinion. Read More On Citysearchnicoledohogne 1/15/2009
Great spa experience I received a gift card to Great Jones Spa for Christmas and I feel like I really found a hidden gem of a spa downtown! The steam room was awesome and my facial was so nice and relaxing. My skin has been glowing for days now! I definitely recommend this spa if you are looking for a mini escape from the city!

Fabulous Spa- a real treat! Great Jones is definitely top 10 spas in NYC, best one downtown for sure. My massage was so relaxing. The facilities were very clean and nice. Yummy tea and trail mix while you relax. The steam room is huge as well as the hot tub. I went with a small group of girls and we all had the best time. I heard the facials are great but only had a massage. next time! Read More On CitysearchKaraly23 12/17/2008
Hands Down One of the Top Spas in NYC I have been to to many spas and Great Jones Spa is by far the best. The steam room is big, spacious, HOT and steamy. LOVE IT. The hot tub is large enough for a group and the plunge pool....well that is COLD. I took a plunge into the ice cold pool and it REALLY does invigorate. But aside from all the amenities, my massage was amazing. It was quiet, relaxing and deep tissue. i couldn't ask for anyt... Read More On Citysearchrosieroth 12/9/2008

What an AMAZING Water Lounge Great Jones spa is absolutely amazing. The water lounge alone makes it worth the trip. The spa week specials included a wash/blowout or mani/pedi. I chose the mani/pedi which included 3 hour use of the water lounge. The jacuzzi, sauna and steam room are huge... you can sit comfortably inside without the feeling of it being overcrowded. There's water with lemon, fruit, nuts/seeds and tea available... Read More On CitysearchKaramel11 10/14/2008
Great massage! I went in for a 90 minute massage, and was lucky enough to have Christie assigned to me. She gave me one of the best massages I've ever had. I went in tense, came out relaxed. Can't ask for anything more!

nice but dirty... Hi,
My friend invited me for a girls day and we decided to go to a spa. I always wanted to try the great jones spa...
so we went to the spa and found it rather dirty..... I was pretty disappointed, a pity since it really could be much better. the treatments were ok though,and if they clean up I would go back!

The Amenities Outweigh the Treatments I don't mind dropping a few hundred dollars at a really great spa. But I was more impressed with the amenities than the massage I had. The amenities are top notch. I didn't tell my massage therapist that I am also a massage therapist. I figured I'd let her do her job. But the massage was average. I scheduled the hot towel infusion massage. And all it was - was the same towel being put back into t... Read More On Citysearchmargaux30 8/23/2008
downtown relaxation I love the Great Jones spa. The facilities are state of the art, and very, very clean. There is a plunge pool and a hot tub (a huge perk over other spas) and all of the products are organic - such a plus. Read More On CitysearchCitysearch User 8/18/2008
The best amenities This place is a gem. You get to hang out for hours in this beautiful space, with a waterfall, skylights, a hot tub, sauna and steam room - all for the price of a barely-overpriced spa treatment. Genius! They provide all the fixins - fluffy robes, sandals, tea & healthy snacks. You can relax in comfy lounge chairs surrounded by plants - a great escape from NYC.
From my experience, the treatm... Read More On Citysearchdmitri201 1/27/2008
For you, a couple or that special occassion In my first and only experience thus far at GJS, I was so thrilled to have picked a place with fantastic & cooperative staff, excellent services, and an environment that takes you from NYC to South Beach.

Very relaxing / Snob free.. VANESSA THE FACIALIST IS AMAZING! I got to GJ an hour early and used the suana (very clean and well maintained) and the cold dip pool - perfect for one of those famous NY summer days.

Take it from a regular I have been an avid spa goer for many years and I must say that Great Jones is by far one of the most exceptional in the city. They have wonderfully beautiful decor and some of the best service you can find.

Ok spa but a terrible front desk: managerial intervention suggested Had a fairly decent massage here and the facilities are ok. However, I was treated very rudely by the front desk staff, both upon entering and leaving the spa (was first ignored and then helped with obvious reluctance and what can only be described as disdain for the customer). This left a bad taste, so much that I would not return. Several other reviews describe similar experiences, which leads ... Read More On Citysearchsoesters 1/27/2007

Power Peel I had one and there were no signs of peeling or that I had anything done at all.
