Hoboken Wellness Spa

I had such a good experience at the Hoboken wellness spa. The hydrafacial was AMAZING! They were so warm and welcoming. I highly recommend and I will be back!

Found an hour long couples massage deal on groupon for 150 (192 w/​tax) for my boyfriend and I. I made the appointment through groupon during the week for that following Saturday afternoon. On Saturday morning I called to confirm my appointment and they said I never called to confirm– which I wasn’t aware I needed to do but they were cool about it and told us to come on in anyway! The ladies were both really nice– we had to fill out some simple paperwork beforehand– pretty standard.
The massage was okay– at times I felt like she just put a ton of lotion on her hands and was just rubbing it in. They also are a two-​women show… which is cool but we had two interruptions during our massage which isn’t very relaxing in my opinion. Like i said– okay not great and not really worth almost two hundo.

I went to Hoboken Wellness Spa last weekend for ear candling and a facial. Ear candling was awesome and I’d definitely do that again however the facial was so not effective. I do many facials from micro-​deem to lasers and know when an aesthetician knows what they are doing. I asked Surinder how long the peel stays on my face and she said 3 minutes but took it off in probably 30 seconds. There were no extractions even though that’s what I requested and she pretty much told me her fancy machine did all the work because she doesn’t want to work anymore! To top it off they over charged me by $ 100 and I didn’t realize it till I got home. $ 180 for a facial there was NOT worth it. It’d pay $ 50 for that facial but for what they charged… GO TO BLISS!

The staff is very friendly. The space could use a deep clean, there was hair on the floor in the bathroom and the décor is sparse. My massage was good, but not great. When booking I asked for someone very experienced as I hadn’t had a massage in awhile and really needed it. My therapist, was very nice and professional, but not a very skilled therapist. Some moves she did on one side were not repeated on the other. I felt relaxed. My room didn’t have any music either, which didn’t totally bother me but I can see how it would bother other clients. Overall, I would return, the experience was pleasant, just wish my massage itself was better.

This place is very nice and relaxing, but a little pricey. I’m hoping they will have a groupon or living social deal so I can go back again.

I frequent this spa for waxing services and the customer service is impeccable. I am a repeat customer and I would reccomend this spa to anyone! I found this place on Living Social or Groupon (I can’t remember which one), but still came back after I used my deal. Once you find a good wax place… You don’t venture out. Who knew a brazillian wax appointment could be enjoyable?! :)

I have been to 2 other places in Hoboken for a Brazilian wax, this place is the best. Quick, clean, great priced, and is owned and managed by a lovely woman named Suri and her daughter. I definitely recommend and I can’t wait to go back and try other services.

I was looking for a location in Hoboken because I’ve been recently hired in town but don’t know too much about it so as my nature I turn to Unilocal.Hoboken Wellness salon had good reviews so why the heck not! I go to their website to check it out. I saw that there was online booking, cool! I book, there isn’t an option to pay in office, which is what I prefer but I wanted to get my eyebrows threaded that day and whatever saved my spot. The place was a little difficult to understand. It seems to be a converted school or something. There were many hallways. I didn’t know which entrance to go in, so once I was in I was guessing and trying to read signs.
When I get into the proper office, the technician was very pleasant but at the end of the appointment I was not please with the outcome of the service. As soon as she finished I noticed that there was something off. But I was already itching to get home so I didn’t fuss there. I get home and realize why I wasn’t pleased — my eyebrows were crooked, one was much thicker than the other as well as different angles. I had asked for a soft angle that wasn’t too thin, and the outcome was not that. There were hairs that could have been cleaned up much better. I had to spend more time to fix what I paid someone else to do. So not only did I waste money, I wasted time. Now my new morning routine involves filling in my eyebrows because one is noticeably thicker and the other is a different angle than the other.
Then there was a cleanliness issue– on the surface it seems nice but when you get into the smaller rooms they seem to be not so clean. I noticed that the sticks were still in the wax. I’m so happy that I didn’t get waxed here. I should have left immediately after I saw that but because the online booking system forced me to pay instead of just booking then I didn’t want to be out of money.
This is a moderately priced place but expensive if you value the quality of work.

Edit: I was contacted by a manager or owner and was offered an apology. They want 100% customer satisfaction and they strive for that. When they reached out they were trying their best to rectify the situation. due to that I upped my original rating

I feel extremely comfortable here. Surinder is wonderful. She is very positive and a joy to talk to. She makes getting a brazilian wax as comfortable as you can make it. I really like going there. It’s a family run business that takes pride in the services it provides.

⁴⁄₂₀₁₅ Update — Hands down the fastest Brazilian wax EVER. No one likes getting it done, keeping the procedure time limited is key. I was in and out under 10 minutes. While the wax wasn’t anything fancy and the sticks she used wasn’t new (I think as it was already in the wax container when I walked in), 24 hours later, I am alive and well to tell the tale. Bottom line — Would definitely come back again!

After a couple of rescheduling issues I finally showed up for my much anticipated Marma Therapy at Hoboken Wellness last week. I found the place easily and the location is easily accessible.
First off, let me tell you that Marma is not a massage (darn!), but more of a relaxing therapy with one aim — stress busting. Was it successful? Read on…
I’ve never heard of this therapy before reading about it on the Hoboken Wellness website and was excited to try it. It’s an ancient Ayurvedic technique that uses oil to calm the body and balance the pulse.
My esthetician was Suri who is also the owner of the spa. She and her daughter are both very hospitable and warm and as soon you walk into the space they make you feel comfortable. I don’t know about you, but I’m very anxious when I go to a new spa/​salon for the 1^st time and don’t know what to anticipate.
The treatment:
The therapy started with Suri applying Ayurvedic oil to the body — if you’re the icky sort you won’t like this as even the neck and hair will have oil by the time you’re done. This took a good 30 minutes. It’s important to stress that the application is really gentle and not a massage… she did gently massage my arms but that’s it.
Now comes the tricky and unusual part. After the oil treatment is done, Suri pitched a tent on over my body through which she gave a steam treatment… it sounds complicated but it was not — it was a like a facial for the body. After approximately 20 minutes Suri switched off the steam machine. She got me a glass of water and left the room advising me to take my time and get dressed… no rush.
Couple of things why this is a 4 star review and not a full 5 star one:
* The treatment ended abruptly and I was quite clueless about when we were done. Would be great if they would take you through the steps before hand so you know what to expect.
* I know this is not a massage therapy but it would be nice to get a neck, shoulder and scalp massage while you are getting the steam treatment. In fact I would call it a MUST HAVE. By the time the treatment ended my body was literally screaming for a massage & a nice scalp massage while would have made wonders and taken this treatment to an entirely next level.
* Would be great if they offered a hot towel to wipe of the sweat at the end of the treatment. Or offered the use of the shower. The treatment room had a rest room and shower cubicle inside it (both very clean) — so I am guessing the option is available if you want it. Since the body heats up during MARMA and once the steam is switched off, you start feeling cold and start perspiring, at the very least a hot towel is again an essential. I asked Suri if I should wipe down, but she suggested keeping the oils as they were beneficial and recommended showering after a few hours… however you leave feeling oily and a tad unsatisfied with the end of the session.
* I bought an Amazon Local deal ($ 45) for this treatment and I felt it was worth for the price. At the full price $ 165, I’m not so sure I would recommend as even though it’s a unique experience, once would expect a full massage or something extra at that price point.
The verdict:
Over all, yes the Marma therapy was relaxing and I enjoyed the session which approximately lasted 50 minutes. Suri is an excellent therapist and I would love to go back to try some of the other services.

I love these ladies, so caring and professional. The Marma Touch Therapy is essential to anyone living and working in the area, truly an uplifting experience. There are massages but this is an inside out experience! Definitely one their newest loyal clients. thank you ladies.

I had my first visit last night, it was so wonderful that I needed to Unilocal it :)
I had ear candling and a massage by Surinder. She recommended i get a steam tent process with my massage (included in price) due to my sinus/​allergy issues. I loved it. I found her to be very smart, helpful, and extremely kind.

I love the intimate, one-​on-​one experience of this spa. I first visited this spa pursuant to a Living Social promotion as it was local and affordable. I had the Brazilian wax procedure.yikes. While it is somewhat painful, Surrender (the mom of the mother/​daughter duo) performed the procedure. She was very patient, professional and extremely personable. That is such an intimate procedure to have done that you want to feel truly comfortable with the person doing the procedure and that she made me feel. Note: I previously got my waxes done at European Wax Center and while I love the wax and process they use they were not consistent as far as the technician who would be doing your wax. It seemed like every time I went there was a new person performing my wax. Hoboken Wellness has a small staff so you will always get your same person, in my case the owner, Surrender. She is very calming and very talkative which is great as it keeps me distracted and calm. We talked about a range of topics from family, culture, economy, careers, etc.
I highly recommend this place. They are very flexible with appointments, call you back promptly if you leave a message and offer a personalized experience.
Despite the discomfort associated with wax, she does a marvelous job and I always leave out feeling like I just had a visit with an aunt.
Signed your Union City attorney client :)

loved this place and will certainly return. Very friendly service from start to end. The space is smaller but is very clean and cozy. Easy online appointment booking method available as well.
Visited using a livingsocial deal but was treated as a regular paying client.

I’m giving this place 5 stars because it has exceptional customer service. I wasn’t completely satisfied with my Brazilian wax but they made sure to take every step to change their procedure to make it satisfying for the individual customer. They even offered to give my money back if I wasn’t 100% satisfied. The ladies are really nice and it’s very close to the right rail. I highly recommend and I will defintely be going back. Not only that, the prices are great for the location. I Recommend the package deals!

After my less than stellar first experience, the owner suggested I try their facial rejuvenation procedure, which is available at amazon local for $ 39.
The procedure was great. Started with a hot towel. Then what I think was ultrasound gel was applied to my face and micro electric current was used to make me look fab. After completing one pass over my entire face, I received a gentle face massage. Then the gel/​electric current was repeated. Finally, another hot towel to close it out.
Afterward, I looked pretty amazing. Skin time even, fine lines reduced. No joke. I was looking at that machine, trying to figure out the manufacturer so I can look up the data, but who needs data when you look this great?
Bought a 3 procedure package. Yeah, it was that good.
Was also told they are interviewing to hire a masseuse to improve the quality of the massage services. Suri and her daughter are the kind of small business owners a community wants, committed to their customers and take pride in their business.

My brother decided to surprise me with a massage for my birthday and I definitely enjoyed it.
This is a mom and daughter owned and managed business. They were very sweet and friendly and it did not feel like a business transaction at all. They even offered me and my brother a free mini 20 minute facial. I never thought I would get a facial in my lifetime but it definitely left my face feeling fresh and clean. I didn’t realize how many black heads I had.
Now for the massage, where do I start. It started with her asking the areas I would like for her to concentrate on. I had her focus on my back and neck area. She got out some nods I had, probably due to stress. The massage was very relaxing and almost put me to sleep.
The only small complaint I initially had was our facial/​massage started a bit late. However, I didn’t care since as I mentioned the mom and daughter were very sweet people and took great care of us. Be prepared to talk they are very friendly lol.
Also, on a side note there was plenty of street parking in this part of Hoboken. Overall, it was a great experience and I will be returning sometime in the future!

I came here a few weeks ago to get my LivingSocial deal «Rejuvenate with a Facial and Microdermabrasion Combination». I had an awesome facial!
The space was modern and clean. My aesthetician, Surinder, was very nice and explained the differents things she was putting on my face (I don’t get facials often so I need explanations). I really loved the fact that she was not trying to sell me any products like most facial places do. The whole experience was very relaxing and enjoyable. I definitely walked away with baby smooth skin that day.
If I can afford to get facials on the regular, I’d definitely go to Hoboken Wellness just because I know Surinder will take great care of my skin and is very passionate about her work.

I would rate this place 3.5. I went here to get a facial and microdermabrasion using a Groupon. They offer a number of services including Ayurvedic treatments, massages, facials, threading/​waxing.
I made the appointment over the phone, and it was quick and easy. They send email reminders before your appointment which is nice if you’re the forgetful sort.
The entrance to the spa was a little hard to find, it’s from the door marked «Girls». The reception area was nice. The receptionist (who’s also the owner I believe) was very polite and courteous.
The facial was good, the aesthetician checked out my skin and listened to my concerns. They supposedly use natural products, all I would say is that the products smelt great and didn’t make me break out. My skin felt nice after the facial and much clearer after the extractions.
Why 3.5 and not the full 4? I would have liked a longer neck and shoulder massage. Most other places include that with the facial. Also the treatment room felt clinical, a warm ambience would have felt more relaxing. For the price I paid, I was fully satisfied with the service. If I was paying full price, I would expect more from a day spa.
