There are many Body Work massage parlors in Bay Ridge but there are significant variances in appearance, comfort, consistency, ad pricing. Massage is therapeutic and should be comforting and King Spa Bay Ridge offers a large menu of facials and massages that are much better than most other area Body Work places.
The intimate space offers distinct rooms for privacy - walls instead of curtains. My brother tried their $90 deluxe massage with hot stones for 90 minutes. He was ecstatic. I go for a relaxation massage at $50 for 60 minutes. King Spa prices attract because they are just slightly higher than the bulk of Chinese body work places, with the qualities of less affordable spas.
Possibly a key feature is that the staff speaks English. That helps you control the focus of your massage experience. Masseuses Ann and Angu are superb and consistently professional. The desk manager is cordial and inviting as well. Gathering points on a card allows for free services for repeat customers.
If seeking a facial, body scrub, or massage, there are many places in Bay Ridge. King Spa on 5th Ave @ 80th Street is an oasis that I would highly recommend.
