We paid for an 80-minute massage. We got there 15 minutes early. They started us almost 10 minutes late and finished about five minutes early. So, this was really like a 65-minute massage. I understand that you may not be able to start a customer on time, but if you are running late, the customer should not be penalized for it. Either provide a full 80-minute massage as promised or at least offer some sort of discount to your customers in situations when you are running late. I’m not going back.
Added Review To My Initial Post: the owner just responded to my review that according “to their records“ they started us after one minute. This is a complete lie. They ushered in both my wife and I ten minutes late. I’m not surprised that they are now trying to lie as when I read their responses to other one-star reviews, their responses are very defensive, doubling-down on their lies, and claiming the customer is lying about what they complained about. I have no reason to lie about 15 minute of our massages missing from an 80-minute massage.

Alexis is my favorite and makes the massage experience super pleasant. The girls at the front desk are super sweet and very helpful and always have great recommendations. The only thing I noticed is the general manager hovers and micromanages every single things those poor girls do up front even if the lobby is full of people.

Came in for a massage after a long week and it was honestly a nice experience. The place was clean, quiet, and had a relaxing vibe right when I walked in. My therapist was professional and checked on the pressure a couple times, which I appreciated. They really worked on the tension in my shoulders and lower back. I left feeling way better than when I arrived. Front desk staff were polite and getting checked in was easy. Prices seemed fair for the service too. I’d probly book another session here when I need to unwind again.

I had such a great experience here! The massage was incredibly therapeutic and relaxing. It was exactly what I needed. The environment was welcoming and made it easy to fully unwind from the moment I walked in. You can really tell they care about creating a calming experience from start to finish. I left feeling refreshed, recharged, and already looking forward to next time. Highly recommend!

What a great concept!
As a traveling yoga teacher, I've had massages all over the world and NOW ranks up there as one of the best experiences overall! The aesthetic is on point and I got a couple of gifts in the boutique from their sleek product line. I'll definitely be back and would join the membership if there was one near me.
Frequently Asked Questions About The NOW Massage Little Italy
How does The NOW differ from a traditional spa?
The NOW has reimagined the approachable luxury of a neighborhood spa with high-quality massages and exclusive enhancements that offer relaxation and healing. Our goal is to offer customizable massage services without the time commitment and cost of a traditional spa.
When should I arrive for my massage?
Please aim to arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled massage to permit ample time for check-in. As a courtesy to other members and guests, we must start and end each massage service at the scheduled time; accordingly, we will not be able to extend the time of your service if you arrive late.
How do I book a massage?
You can schedule an appointment online at www.thenowmassage.com, through The NOW Massage app, or by contacting the boutique directly by phone. We also welcome walk-ins, but due to high demand, we recommend scheduling in advance.
How do I cancel a service that I’ve scheduled?
A booked massage can be canceled by logging into your account on the website, through The NOW Massage app, or by calling the boutique. Please be aware of our late cancellation policy. We respectfully request at least 12 hours notice if you need to cancel or rebook your massage appointment. We charge 50% of the reservation made to the credit card on file to compensate our staff for missed wages when there is a last minute cancellation.
What if I fail to show for a scheduled massage or arrive late?
If you miss your appointment or arrive 15 minutes past your scheduled service start time, the service is automatically canceled and the full price of the scheduled service is charged to the credit card on file. To ensure a relaxing experience, and get the full benefits of the massage, we advise guests to arrive on time (or early) for all scheduled appointments.
How can I cancel my membership?
Ritual Members can cancel their recurring dues membership at any time by providing their boutique with 30-days written notice stating the desire to cancel. You may cancel in-person at the boutique or by sending an email to the boutique where your membership was purchased. All boutique contact information can be found under the locations page on our website.
Note: In states where required by applicable law, in addition to the above, you can also choose to cancel your membership through choosing the cancellation option on your membership profile online.
How long do I have to use massage credits?
Membership credits can accrue indefinitely until a Ritual Membership is canceled. Unused massage credits will continue to accrue (i.e., roll-over month-to-month) as long as your membership remains in place. You will have 3 months from the date of cancellation to use any unused massage credits before they expire. No refunds are issued for unused credits.

What if I’m not feeling well?
If you are feeling sick or unwell prior to the start of your scheduled massage, we encourage you to stay home. The NOW Massage boutique is an open-space concept and keeping guests and team members safe is everyone’s responsibility. If you begin to feel sick during your treatment, please let your Massage therapist know immediately.
What is the NOW's policy related to cell phone use at the boutique?
We aim to create a safe and relaxing environment for our members and guests. The tranquility offered within our space is paramount. Cell phones can be disruptive and are not encouraged.

Yes, if you’ve purchased items in a boutique, we accept returns in original condition (unused, undamaged and unopened in the original packaging) within seven days from the date of purchase. All items purchased in a boutique are only eligible for return or exchange in the same location it was purchased. Because jewelry is made-to-order, jewelry is eligible for exchange only.
If you’ve purchased items online – through The NOW’s website – we accept returns in original conditions (unused, undamaged and unopened in original packaging) provided you first obtain a return authorization number, which you can request by emailing shop@thenowmassage.com.
