Had a chance to try Tan/Han (says Tan on website but he goes by Han) last week.
I’ll start with a few critical notes: the manhattan studio had a bit more of a cheap massage parlor vibe and less like a spa, and didn’t feel private at all. For example the music was playing from one central speaker for all the massage rooms and reception area, so there was no sense of sound proofing. also my biggest qualm, the massage table was covered in tissue paper and not fresh towels. Tissue paper is uncomfortable and sticks to the skin like a doctors office, feels cheap. 
 
it was 210 for a 90 minute massage and tip was requested, didn’t feel worth this price at all. Zero sensual touch. Had me face down the entire 90 minutes. I actually don’t prefer HE but sensual touch can be wonderful and it was only therapeutic. 
 
he was very warm and nice and def had some moments during the massage where there was great therapeutic work and pressure. 
 
the face cradle had a bar or something at the chin that was very uncomfortable too. 
 
He was very nice and definitely had some good technique in terms of the massage. I really wanted to like this but as I write this review I find myself realizing, "What the heck happened?" And feel I overpaid. I know some other pros with private studios or MMX who do an A+ wonderful 90 minutes for $200 
 

Hi everyone, do you have any experience with John B or Danny, both from MMX?

Your descriptions match my experiences.

Hi All,
Longtime viewer and new to making an account and posting.  Figured I'd throw in some of my experiences at local places.
New Paradise:
Great and clean location.  Rooms are all really big and nice with showers in them to rinse off before or after.
- Seen Alex twice.  He gives an INCREDIBLE deep tissue/therapeutic massage. Very professional and straight forward.  No extras.  He seems eastern european in type with a beefy wrestler type build.  Super kind and really knows his technique.
Batman:
- Saw Allen just last week for a 1 hour massage.  Was a really great massage that left me fully relaxed.  At times the technique wasn't the strongest and didn't start using oil for the first 30ish min., but by the end everything felt amazing.
Times Square:
I've been to this location the most out of any.  Almost always leave feeling extremely relaxed and taken care of.  Only one of the rooms has a shower, so if you are wanting to shower after, let them know ahead of time.
- Sky: Cute asian masseur with a slimmer build.  Give a very good massage with decent technique.
- Simon: Had two sessions with him and won't see him again.  First time was for a 90min.  He shorted me on time by 15min and I called him out on it and so I didn't give him a very big tip.  The next time I went back he was the only person available for a 60min massage.  It was one of the worst massages I'd had with poor technique and almost never used oil or lotion and no extras.  Won't ever see him again.
- David: Was a bigger build (muscles) and gave a great massage with good technique.
- Kenny: Don't remember what he looked like but also gave a great massage that left me feeling very relaxed.
Spa27:
- Had 1 massage with Jay.  I'll never see him again.  Technique was quite poor and lack luster and felt like he didn't really want to be there.  Then came the bartering for a big tip during the massage which was extremely off-putting.

Commentary about the advertising and AI is somewhat irrelevant. If they wrote it themselves, and the grammar was poor (I've seen this happen very often on here), they would be criticized. If they write it with AI, they are called fake. The only thing that will matter is when someone tries it and comments on their experience.

Their services description skates artfully close to the edge.  Too bad there's no gallery of therapists.

Hey fellas - who are the best masseurs lately at Epic men’s spa? Like muscular types. The last updated post about this was from fall of last year so hoping to get an update on who to request. When you are recommendation, could you also specify ethnicity? Thank you!
