82-62 Austin Street, Kew Gardens
Get your nails done, go for a facial or try a number of different massages. Ascend offers specials such as the Four Palm Massage - two therapists working on your knots at once. Or, try the Hot Lava Shell Massage, in which a real shell from the South Pacific is used to detoxify your body and mind. Another highlight is the Migraine Tension Massage, which is a scalp massage using aromatherapy oils to wipe away stress. Apparently, it also encourages hair growth.
Euphoria
38-15 Northern Boulevard, Astoria
This spa combines hair treatments, facials and relaxation. Try a traditional Swedish Massage or body wrap, which can be anything from a French Green Clay Wrap to the Seaweed Body Wrap, a treatment using sea algae to stimulate the skin. Euphoria also offers the Platza Treatment – an ancient Russian massage done in a sauna using oak leaves.
Forest Hills Spa
59-21 Calloway Street, Forest Hills
The Forest Hills Spa provides the ultimate Russian bathhouse experience, but minus the trip to Europe. Enjoy an enormous swimming pool, Jacuzzi, cold plunge pool and modern rain showers. Then, spend some time in one of the saunas and sign up for an authentic Platza oak leaf treatment. Other options include a one-hour massage or black mud treatment.
Coco Spa
133-10 41st Road, Flushing
Get a full body massage for $30 at this small boutique. The spa also offers foot reflexology. Coco is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.
