The SPAaaht

LaJuana has a true gift. Her space is the very definition of welcoming and healing. On a trip to NYC, I booked my partner and myself the 60-minute massage. The experience was so intentional, starting with a short consultation during which she asked questions to get to know us better, and then an explanation of what to expect during the massage. She used a variety of techniques during the massage that reminded me of Thai massage + Swedish + hot stones and some other tools that I had never experienced before. I felt like a new person once the hour was over!

My final note may seem superficial to some, but it made the experience even more meaningful for us. As a Black and Asian person respectively, my partner and I value wellness care facilitated by people of our shared identities. (Sidenote, we also booked this on Feb 14 to celebrate Lunar New Year, Black History Month AND Valentines Day) The quality of the energy here is so easy to surrender to. We are so grateful that this place exists--it really lives up to its name as THE Spaaaht!

I've been going to The SPAaaht on and off for over 7 years. LaJuana is the real deal! She helped me balance my skin with customized facials when it was in need of gentle care. I will always admire how non-judgmental and tender she is in contrast to other business that will push services and products you don't need. She is a business woman with integrity.
Now that my skin is in a much better place, I love LaJuana's insight on how to care for texture and aging with gentle treatments and non-evasive ingredients. I recently used a wellness stipend from my employer and treated myself to one of her massages and WOW! She's got the touch! A true healer. Go to The SPAaaht when you want an soul-lifting-inside-out beauty treatment.

My husband gifted me a full body massage at the SPAaaht! What a blessing. Lu Juana welcomed me with a warm smile, after a brief consultation it was on! I enjoyed every moment of this experience she has a new client for life. What is even better, the SPAaaht is walking distance from my home. A true jewel in our neighborhood.

I’ve done a lot of pedicure treatments in my life, but the one with LaJuana just blew my mind. I have never had my toenails look so baby pink and shiny after she polished them. My feet looked so healthy and beautiful. I can’t imagine doing my pedicure anywhere else. The entire treatment was incredibly relaxing. She laid me down on a massage table, covered me with a blanket and let me just relax while treating my nails with such attention and professionalism. I cannot wait to go back. The best pedicure known to a woman!

The SPAaaht provided exceptional service and customer care in celebration of my mother’s birthday. The gift card arrived safely and on time. The footcial and handcial exceeded my mother’s expectations. The owner took extra care to elevate the occasion to make the experience memorable. Thanks La Juana!

The SPAaaht is literally that. The space is wonderful, calm, and unique. La Juana has a true gift that cannot be taught or replicated. Her presence is healing, grounding, and wise. I got a facial and she went above and beyond in her time and service. I am already counting down the days to my next facial or massage. If you are thinking about it, BOOK NOW. You will not regret it. The best investment I’ve made in months. Thank you La Juana, you are the epitome of a healer.

I cannot recommend LaJuana enough! She is warm, professional, an excellent communicator and a wealth of knowledge. Not to mention her incredible talent for massage. My facial was luxurious, rejuvenating and worth every cent. I am already raving to my friends about what a great experience I had and how valuable her advice is. I will be back for more!

This was a wonderful escape from the world. From the one on one service and the relaxing atmosphere I felt like a queen for a few hours. I enjoyed a relaxing scrub massage. Definitely going back and worth sharing this gem with friends!

I live across the street and was so excited to see such a highly rated spa nearby! I agree with all the 5 star reviews, La Juana and SPAaaht are absolutely divine. I have had many spa + sports massages in NYC and this was the best one I've ever had. She was attentive, treated all the areas I was having pain in, and provided an absolutely luxury experience.

I absolutely love The SPAaaht! I go as often as I can, and the treatments I receive are second to none. It's a great place to unwind and relax. Not only that, the customer service is exceptional!

La Juana made my first massage experience absolutely delightful. I’m hooked! Definitely going to be incorporating massages into my monthly self care routine from now on. It’s a must

It may be strange if the husband writes a review about his wife's facial he just experienced but it was like always exceptional and I felt like people should know this. I didn’t know that all this massage comes with it. All musicians with their aches and pains should get on her table, she knows every little muscle musicians use.
Visit the SPAaaht in Harlem and get treated by LaJuana, like I said exceptional.

Just had the loveliest experience with La Juana! I’ve never had a massage before but will definitely be coming back💕

Had such an amazing experience - 75 mins went a long way. I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and all my back pain/tension had subsided. Will definitely be back!

If I could rate SPAaht higher I would! Lajuana rly knows what she’s doing lol. I got a massage that was literally an out of body experience. She’s so nice and accommodating. Such a lovely small business.

I had a hot stone massage and pedicure and it was amazing. The cleanliness and attention to detail was apparent throughout the spaces. The massage was luxurious and my feet and toes looked amazing after the pedicure. I can’t wait to go back.

Best massage EVER! Definitely returning!

It is such a treat to be able to stroll over to The SPAaaht for an expert spa treatment in my upper Manhattan/Harlem/Hamilton Heights neighborhood. La Juana Smith-Huebner has created a beautiful, comfortable, artistic spa in an ideal location on St. Nicholas St at 149th. She uses top-of-the-line, natural products, and her massage and facial techniques are 5-Star. She’s a true professional. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience her services including massages, facials, or mani/pedis. It’s like having your own private spa.

The service you receive here goes beyond expectations. LaJuana gives so much of herself to each client. Beautiful. You will leave feeling pampered he’d and refreshed.

La Juana was very attentive to the neck and shoulder pain issues I shared with her. Her demeanor is very pleasant and her space is peaceful. I look forward to returning.
