Nicely renovated, gem in Yorkville! I've been to a few of those "in house" spas, another one in Yorkville. Most of them are a bit dingy with the original flooring and finishings but with a fresh paint job. But Ineed seemed to have gotten a nice renovation since its previous establishment. With nice new flooring and Japanese style screens separating the front larger room as well as modern furniture and shelves. Seems like the owner has put some effort in the decorating.
Booking the appointment was fast and efficient. I was able to inquire about available time slots through email, which is easier when I'm trying to do this during work hours. They were fast to reply and I was able to call back to confirm the time with no problem. I had gotten a groupon for a couples massage. We got there a bit early and there was water available as we waited.
When I saw the masseuse I was a bit skeptical considering they were two relatively younger girls. But they used an arm elbow technique that puts enough pressure on my sore muscles. They also used a warm bag of gel with some oil which felt nice and warm and allowed their arms to glide smoothly over the skin. Overall the massage was very thorough and hit all the right spots. They didn't waste time wiping all skin area slowly with a hot towel to "waste time" of the one hour massage like some other places do. That's why they were able to get all the areas within the shorter 45 min massage. They were nice and courteous although I would have appreciated it if they had asked if there were any areas that I thought they could work on. Also another complaint I have with these places is that the face rest on the massage bed is usually just covered with a towel and never have enough breathing room. Other than that I would love to come back even at full price!
