Decided to try this place on a whim being almost 39 weeks pregnant, and WOW, I was in BLISS.

First time massage- 100% recommend! My cousin and I got the couples 60min and it was the best experience!! Everyone was super nice and intentional, super relaxing- plus a stamp card for return bonuses(: The masseuse knew just what to work on without me saying a thing, probably because my back is so stiff lol THANKS, RENEW!!!!

In a nutshell, if you need a real massage, no “frills or thrills”, no “bells and whistles”, but a real body massage - this is the place to go.

WOW!!! My students have been stressing me out so much and I’m from out of town, carrying my luggage around, and this was EXACTLY what I needed! Cindy took amazing care of me and hit all of the pressure points and knots that were engrained in my muscle fibers :’))). Very very satisfied — I wish I lived in NYC so I could get this monthly!

How we grade

Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.

Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.

Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.

Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.

Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.

Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
