I had a very professional deep tissue massage here which last 1 hour. Before and after I could use sauna and steam room as well as relaxation rooms where there was a variety of teas, nice meditation music and comfortable chairs. My friend had an algae body wrap which was combined with a slight massage including face massage. We both were very satisfied with the place and the Services! Highly recommed!

I have been to August Moon Spa on more then one occasion and I have alway had an wonderful experience! However the last experience having a poultice massage was next level!! My therapist, Jazmine was absolutely incredible adept and efficient at the her practice! After my visit I felt rejuvenated and refreshed. The experience helped me to alleviate tension an and muscle cramps and increased my circulation. The experience was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend August Moon of you want to feel invigorated and relieved!

August Moon is my favorite spa in Ithaca. Im a bit of a spa junkie and have been to spas across the country and even a few internationally. August moon is up there with the best Ive visited. Their staff is professional and personable. Their facilities are calming and private. Their house made products are mostly local and vegan! Even through covid they have been able to maintain impeccable service. If you have aches and pains and need a massage, see Rebekah. She is a miracle worker. I have been going biweekly since I had my first session with her (with a covid break in the middle). And now
