No frills, straight awesome therapeutic. I went to the location on west 81st and received the best massage I have ever had, period. Although each masseur is terrific, I always ask for one in particular. Her name is Nah Nah. You be fooled at first by her petite, thin physique, like I was. But I swear, you will discover through her why the business is called Magic Fingers. Magic fingers are amazing! No wonder ny post recommended the — First of all, they have been serving upper west for almost 10 years, if they r not qualified why do they still here? I have been going there for almost 3 years, I have to say that they r amazing. Secondly, I remebered that ny post featured them also last year december, can't really remeber the date, but yeah. Most importanly it's almost impossible to find a place that is not expensive but can still provide excellent service. Well magic fingers is one of the few places in the city who's affordable, and provids excellent services! People should try their full body 1hr30mins massage.

Five star massage, minus two stars for awkwardness — After a particularly stressful month, I googled local massage places, thought this sounded alright, stopped by at around 3 pm on a friday afternoon and was taken right in. I think I might have been the only person in the place so even though I was a little creeped out by the sheer curtains and the massage chairs were the towels new?? So, why 3 stars? Well, it turns out that my half an hour massage had become an hour and a half massage. I was twenty minutes late for a doctor's appointment, and I paid double what I had expected. But I am 100% planning on going back because the massage was so good. Best in upper westside — Super magic fingers is one of the best in upper westside. They have the best skills of massages like swedish, acupressure, acupuncture really good for students who need to take sat or some other tests, acupuncture can really help you to concentrate, at least it works for me. I just like to go there. Tension Busting, Not Bank Breaking — I've had several massages here with either Susan or Annie and they both work fairly deep. Comes to about a buck a minute including tip. They have a frequent visitors card but they do not really advertise that fact. I had to ask for it the second time I went. Best in the upper westside — I have been to a lot of spa, but this one is the best in the upper westside. Not like some other asian masseurs, they are really professional. Although the place is kind of small, I still like to go there. I think super magic fingers is a good place to relax. I come from japanese. I have been so much massage stores. They gave me the best feelling of all, although the store is not so big and gorgeous like a beauty centre, I will go there again with my friends. She's always tired from her work. That'll be a good place for her to relax. Really enjoyable — I was hesitant to try this place because I read the reviews and it didn't seem like a great place. However, I went anyway because it is so cheap and in my neighborhood. I loved my massage. I got a 60 minute full body massage and it was so nice. I get horrible tension headaches and went in with a lot of knots and stress and I feel fantastic now. The only downsides were that the door to my room was just a thin curtain so I felt a little exposed, and since the walls don't go all the way to the ceiling I could hear my neighbor's cell phone conversation. Other than that, the massage was really well done and relaxing. I will be going back! A very mediocre massage, they should be paying you for practice — If you look below at the 5-star reviews, you'll notice that they are all written in the barely comprehensible english of this business's employees. Citysearch needs to do a better job of policing these reviews. Anyway the massage here consists of some squeezing and rubbing and its very clear that none of the current employees actually have any formal massage training. It's a very mediocre experience. I like going there for massage, relax myself in magic fingers is sth i have to do every week...... One of my friends recommended magic fingers to me , then i went there and try how good they are. The staff there are friendly , the most importantly they have wonderful skill that relaxing customers and make them feel comfortable. My favorite massagist is Amy , she is great. Everybody should try them... As we all know , normally we should pay 55 bucks for one hour massage in eastside, but here in super magic fingers u only need to pay 48, the most important thing is they did a better job than the other massage place i have been to........ I think u guys should try Amy , Linda or Jessie , all of them are great. I am highly suggest you guys try Amy, Linda , and Ying. I have tried all of them. All of them are great. It's a good place to go. Super magic fingers is super hot right now , you'd better make an appointment first. Have gone twice now because I thought the first time was just a fluke. I was expecting a no-frills place that gave a good, cheap massage. I did not expect to find this tiny, dirty seriously the mildew smell was beyond and I am not convinced the sheets were clean place with sub-par massages. During my first massage I had someone literally changed places with someone else in the middle of the massage, which I found weird and somewhat disconcerting. The massage itself was bad, but at least not painful. The second time it was literally like someone was rubbing my skin back and forth and I'm not someone that needs deep tissue work and then would push on my spine. Left unsatisfied, with a headache... WORST MASSAGE EVER — I went here a while ago, and it was AWFUL. Forget bare bones, the therapists, IF they were even legally licensed, couldn't communicate with me other than to take my payment. I don't believe the woman who worked on me even spoke english. When I tried to tell her what I wanted her to work on she shushed me, despite being the only person in the room with her. I tried AGAIN to tell her what I wanted her to do, and again she shushed me, and went to work, and it was just awful - she used lotion that I could have bought at the corner drugstore, not oil, and when she was finished I felt as awful, if not worse than when I walked in. I would STAY AWAY from this place. NEVER AGAIN — I WILL NEVER set foot there again!!! I had a Spa Finder gift certificate and called up a few places to get a massage appointment on Sun night. My favorite place - Graceful Services was overbooked and I decided to try the fingers - heard a lot about them. That should have gotten me thinkgin why the y has opening slots, when the best place is booked - but I had a gift certificate at hand and wanted to get a massage... When I arrived - the setting was as described - very modest to say the least and the massage was decent - not bad, but far from being the best. When the hour was over - the masseuse started trying to push more minutes on me - I politely refused. When I came out I was told that THEY DO NOT ACCEPT the Spa finder certificates! I politely reminded that I called and was told otherwise and the girl said that here English is bad and SHE misunderstood the questions. After a short argument she said that they will call the police if I do not pay!!! I was late for meeting a friend and did not feel like getting into the conversation with the police and who knows what else - but I want everybody to know about the practices this place uses to get the customers in and BEWARE. When you call or walk in and they immediately have a spot - just ask yourself - why is that, when everybody else is overbooked? I like the environment and atmosphere there ,it makes me comfortable. The service is really friendly and frofessional. Finally I want to say althought the store is a little bit tiny,they will never let you feel disappointment! S Because super magic fingers is a little bit tiny ,dont't forget to make an appointment first ,if you don't I think you have to wait. A Massage to top all.. No frills for sure, but this extremely clean and very small business and space came through strongly in ambience, and professionalism of massage therapists. I walked in achy and sore all over, Co-Co massaged out every knot I knew I had and some I didn't in a gentle and vigorous manner......... I walked out feeling like a million dollars..... I have traveled many places and have to say this was a wonderful find in my back yard--New York City, a true bargain price for exceptional quality. I am already looking to make time for the next massage, will definitely become a monthly experience, and maybe even more often. Now, how great is that?? Painfull And Unfriendly — Beware Everyone. I told them I wanted less and they continually tried to upsell me, and then didn't bother to hide their dissapointment the whole time, especially as I was paying. Also she used this completely greasy oil, this stuff was like crisco, it never absorbed into my skin-i couldn't even wash it off my hands with soap and water! Next time i'm going to check to see if the person is a LICENCED MASSAGE THERAPIST- I have been in PAIN for several days since! Simplicity and affordability attract clients to this tiny Upper West Side massage studio. One tiny offset room contains just three tables separated by curtains. The no-frills attitude continues in the straightforward service menu--back and face massages in 10-, 30-, 45-, and 60-minute time increments, and foot reflexology for 20 or 40 minutes--and the local clientele can't help but book them for their affordability. From the comfortable atmoshpere, to the friendly service, to the great massages, to the very reasonable prices, this is a great place to go to leave your stresses at the door. I was originally brought here by a good friend after work on a rainy Monday night, and have been hooked ever since. We now plan our future get togethers around a Monday night Massage. I would highly recommend this to anyone who could use a great way to relax, forget about your stresses, and not feel as if it will break the bank. The reasonable price allows for the added benefit of visiting this fine establishment more often. Hard massage at a great price — I love Super Magic Fingers- I get headaches from tension in my shoulders, neck and upper back. Whenever I get a headache that I am worried will turn into a migraine I call them and they can always fit me in. I can usually come within an hour, which saves my life, time and time again. Everything said here is true- its NOT private, but it's dark and nobody is paying any attention to you while you are undressing. It's not posh, its definitly not a spa environment, but it's cheap. Each half-hour is 24. I tried to give a more traditional tip at my first massage 5 for the hour and was told that i did not tip enough and had to pay more. That's the only bad experience I've had and I can't afford to hold it against them. I need their massage, because it takes my pain away. I definitly suggest giving them a call if you are unsure- you can't lose and you could gain a really great resource. Great massage at a great price — No kidding, no frills! From where I was laying, I even heard the toilet flush! You always wonder about places like these, so I never go in. But after reading all of these reviews, I dared to give it a try. I was not disappointed! A really great massage at a really great price. Great massage at a great price! I was able to make an appointment immediately and received an excellent deep tissue massage at a great price. You'll be hard pressed to find a place that charges what they do in NYC and get the same quality massage. Not completely private but private enough. Overall, a very relaxing atmosphere. No kidding around — I am a lady who loves lavender oils and ocean waves. The other reviewers are correct. It's not for the modest, but if you just want a hardcore no bells and whistles massage, come here. Sean worked me over! Pain never felts so good! I couldn't move my neck before and it feels incredible now. The absence of Yanni and a chatty masseuse was also a bonus. Only thing is there are no changing rooms and the sheer curtains mean somebody WILL see you lying there half exposed. No conversation as everyone can hear you. Seems quite clean, especially considering the volume of business. Men and women seem to frequent in about equal numbers. Not too much oil is used spray bottles which they wipe off at the end - no shower. Great Massage in no-frills setting — The massage was wonderful and incredibly affordable, especially with the citisearch coupon. The massage is very strong and relaxing, all my muscle pains were gone. This is a place for massage-not pampering. There are no showers, lockers, changing areas. There is no privacy, just some fairly sheer curtains. The phone was ringing 10 feet away. I went early, so there were few distractions and I enjoyed it. But if you are very modest or looking to get away from it all, this is not the place. Professional, Friendly, Thorough and Great Value — I have been getting a one or 1. All of the therapists are skillful and able to tune in to your body and locate problem areas to work out knots in your muscles. Sean is especially good but I've had other therapists on occasion who were equally skilled. Since you get one free after buying 10, this is a bargain. I get massage as part of my own health and wellness routine and have had massage all over the world - USA, Canada, Europe, and especially Asia. In New York, I tended to switch often until I found Super Magic Fingers. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable and pleasant. I'm Addicted — I am addicted to this place. I go once a week to get a one hour back massage with Sean, he is amazing. I refuse to go to other places anymore because I know I will pay twice the price for a mediocre massage. If you like a very strong massage and don't need a lot of fuss or other amenities, this is the place for you.
