No frills, firm pressure massage. Please take care of their massage therapists. The price is VERY low. I can typically get a 60 min massage for ~$50. Bring cash. Tip in cash. I leave ~$40 and it's still cheaper than anything close to the quality in Manhattan. Be kind and patient with the therapists whose primary language might not be English. Use common sense: "Too hard", "thank you", "it's good/nice", "pain is here" goes a lonnnnnng way.

Amazing experience. I got a 1 hour full body massage today and they were so nice and accommodating. Listened to all my requests. Even did hot stones included! They use a lot of oil so just make sure you wear appropriate clothing and are ready for that. Little hole in the wall spot but great locally. GREAT massage. Fair prices. I tipped well in cash.

Angel Hands might sound gentle, but don’t be fooled since these angels come armed with elbows of justice. For $49, you get a full hour of strong, no-nonsense bodywork. They don’t waste time with small talk or scented candles, just serious pressure. Perfect if you like your massages to mean something.

If you want an amazing deep tissue massage see Anna!! Very affordable and loved the hot stones. I will be going regularly. To those reviewers who complain it is a little uncomfortable… as someone who had had many massages over the years for chronic muscle problems you need to know this is therapeutic massage where they work out all the fascia and knots. This might not feel as “relaxing” as a Swedish massage but if you want to loosen your muscles and get results this is exactly what you need.

Desperately needed a firm massage for my shoulders, neck and back. My masseuse was absolutely lovely and relieved my tension. 5/18 Update: I have been to Angel Hands well over 20 times and I cannot recommend anywhere else! They give the BEST deep tissue style massage that leaves me feeling like I’m walking on clouds. My job is physically strenuous and I tend to build a lot of tension/stress in my neck/traps/shoulders. I also suffer from some minute tech neck. During my visit today, I decided to add on the cupping treatment. For the best results, the more intense the better for me! It’s a wonderful experience, although maybe not for everyone. Truly is one of the very best small businesses in Manhattan! I hope they’re here to stay INDEFINITELY! I AM HOOKED!
