Bliss 49 was such a major disappointment. I have had facials at many places in NYC over the years and the quality, atmosphere and professionalism here was non-existent. There are many amazing lower end spas that cost much less and do not brag about how elitist they are and do a much better job performing the exact same services. The esthetician missed areas of my face when applying the various creams and lotions. It is a standard practice during a facial to receive a mini neck and shoulder massage, which not happen. I receiv... read more

love ben brown's massages! – I can't say enough about my experience at bliss 49. I have been here over 5 times and love everything about it. The customer service is first class and the people who greet you at the front desk really take the time to be personal and want to make your experience pleasurable. I have had 4 massages here, 2 with Ben Brown and 1 with Laura Ann and 1 with Mikel. They were all beyond anything I've ever experienced. My latest massage was the Rhythm and Bliss massage with Ben where you wear noise cancel... read more

biggest waste of money – I went here to get a Brazilian. It totaled just under $74 before leaving cash tip. The waxer was nice and the room seemed fairly clean minus the floor. There was also very little pain. However, they did not remove all the hair or even make an attempt to. Very disappointed in such horrible service. Do not waste your money here.

Nice ambiance, weak massage – I got the rubber neck massage, which was mediocre. The hot wax is ineffective, and a bit of a gimmick - if you have neck / shoulder pain or knots, this won't really do much for it. It also takes up about 20 minutes out of the hour. My masseuse was good about asking where my trouble spots were, but unfortunately, she had long fingernails that kept digging into my neck every time she pressed hard. Needless to say, it wasn't very relaxing. On the plus side, I did get there an hour early to enjoy th... read more

Ivana gave me the best facial that I have ever had. In the past I've had facials from my dermatologist office, various day spas. Every step of the treatment was great, massage for face, head, neck, back and feet, deep cleaning, hydrating and relaxing. She is very friendly along with being very skilled . She recommended a product to use at home. The product really worked!!! Everyone said my skin was radiant. The best facial ever, thanks Ivana!

are they estheticians or salespeople? – I've been to some of the best (Charleston Place and Crescent Court in Dallas) spas. I had high hopes for Bliss49. I worked out in the gym beforehand - the teeniest gym. They offer memberships... why?! It's part of the Whotel gym. It's your basic hotel gym: a few bikes, few treadmills, some machines (no arm machines, but there are weights). The women's locker room is ok (has supplies - lotions, towels). It was crowded, but it was also a Saturday. Sauna is good... relaxing, hot enough, c... read more

Great Wax – I've been to Bliss for their waxing and waxing only- they use Poetic Wax- which is less painful and irritating to the skin-I have extremely sensitive skin so I love Bliss for this reason- but this location always makes me wait at least 15 minutes for my wax, so it's never a quick in and out thing- it usually takes 30-40 minutes for a 5 minute appointment...so if you go make sure you have nothing scheduled for after your quick wax!

Best Brazilian Wax by Tess – I'm 31 weeks pregnant and was hesistant to get a brazilian wax. This was my 2nd time back at Bliss 49 for a full monty job and I love 'em! They're very clean...both technicians never double dipped the used wooden spatula into the wax. A fresh spatula was used for each application. Both technicians were great but Tess was my absolute fav. She had quick hands and she did not rush the job. She worked on small patches and it was essentially painless. I hate it when they apply large batches of wax to ... read more

anastasia for brazilians! – Anastasia gives a great brazilian. She is quick, which is key and makes the wax as painless as possible. I would highly recommend her for this service as i've had another waxer and she was nice but the process was more painful because she didn't have as quick of a hand. Overall the spa is nice, clean and the staff is accomodating.
