Sweet Serenity – I've ventured to many a spa in my day, but I must say "La Vie Zen" is in a class of its own. You will always receive the warmest greeting as soon as you step off the elevator. Carmen ( I believe she manages that location) had me at "Hello" Her personality is so gracious and full of elegance...you'll feel right at home and want to put your feet up immediately. You are offered tea, nuts or dried fruit upon arrival and the staff are remarkable. Jana and Elena are the best estheticians I have ever experienced. I... read more

ZEn at La Vie Zen – I knew when I booked the appointments with Carmen that our experience would be unique. Carmen, the Manager listened to my every request . As soon as we crossed the threshold, we were greeted with warm birthday wishes for my husband. Everyone there knew that this day was very special for both of us. The chaos of the workaday world seemed to dissolve as soon as we entered the spa. Everyone was so caring. Talk about being pampered! This was the real deal. After changing into our cozy robes, we were taken to ... read more

BEST SPA SERVICE IN NYC! – I can rarely afford Spa Services and treatments so when I do budget them, I make sure to do my research. A friend had recommended La Vie Zen to me about a year ago and I had yet to try it, though it was on my list. I finally budgeted for a (thorough) waxing and a facial. The woman at the front desk, Carmen- I believe she is one of the managers- was excellent re. customer service. (Make sure to ask for Carmen when you go!!!) She immediately made me feel at home in the tranquil environment, got my ro... read more

A gem in the middle of NYC – I've been to La Vie Zen a few times -- for massages (signature) and a mani/pedi. The spa gives you a locker with a robe & slippers to change into, and then some tea & snacks while you wait for your service. Michelle was my massage therapist and she first asked if I was there because of pain, or for relaxation/pampering. The massage was customized to my needs (I had some shoulder and back pain), and she made sure I was comfortable the entire time - also turning down the heat as I got a little too ... read more

Zen-tastic – Since it's located across the street from my office, I stopped by one afternoon to obtain information and possibly schedule an appointment. I was greeted by Carmen, at the front desk. In this case, it is true what they say about "first impressions". She made such a positive impression that I booked my appointment for the following week- sugar scrub body treatment. They allow you to choose from 3 flavors/scents. I choose the berry sugar scrub. Mariana was friendly, thorough and not too *chatty* during the service... read more

Much Needed Tranquillity! – I walked into the La Vie Zen Spa stressed and in much need of a relaxing day at the spa. I was greeted by a very friendly woman by the name of Carmen, who escorted me to the waiting area with a cup of tea and sun-dried raisins awaiting me. I started my visit with a facial custom for my skin type and a special mask for my acne prone skin. The facial was fabulous. Then I received a full body message, which I was a little apprehensive about (not even my dog sees me topless), but the staff is so profe... read more

Zen indeed! – I visited La Vie Zen for the first time for a facial with Elena. As soon as I walked in I felt relaxed and calm. It is such a beautiful tranquil place its hard to believe you are amidst crazy streets of the city. I was early for my appointment and wonderful stuff members made sure I was taken care of while waiting. I was invited to a relaxation lounge where I was offered a cup of delicious tea. Now on to facial, it was absolutely wonderful, Elena has the most wonderful tender hands, she explained everything eve... read more

very relaxing environment and great massage – heard a lot about this spa previously and finally got to try it out this afternoon. got a targeted massage and it was very customized and Malissa definitely has great hands. Love the midtown location too coz it's so close to my work place too. The cozy environment and the accommodating decorations are all plus too.
