I booked a massage at “The Now” this past weekend and I must say I love this place. The ambiance was so relaxing and calming. Kalea was my masseuse and she was professional, kind and made feel comfortable during my massage. I will definitely will be back.

Let me see if even my words can do this place justice!From the moment you walk in, you feel incredibly calm!The front desk ladies are wonderful, all smiles and so friendly!This place is truly such a vibe!Next, you walk Into the room where you get your massage, anddd it’s a dream! You feel like you’re at the beach in Cancun! The wave sounds, the decor! Its beautiful!I got my “Healer” massage with Shawn and she was unreal! She has magic hands! Literally! She was truly incredible! Very strong hands, my shoulders haven’t felt this good in a long time! I added in the refreshed eyes and loved it!I can’t recommend this place enough!Don’t hesitate, book your massage! You won’t regret it! :)

Nelson at The Now Massage is phenomenal! His attentiveness and skill completely relieved the stress in my back. Not only was the massage incredibly effective, but he also provided me with exercises to help alleviate back pain from sitting at a desk all day. I feel rejuvenated and more knowledgeable about maintaining my back health. Thank you, Nelson, for such an exceptional experience! Highly recommend!

Love the massage, super relaxing!They need to improve their customer service at the front desk. The woman with the ponytail working there was unwelcoming, had a bad attitude, and didnt know how to treat guests. If Im paying for a massage, I expect a positive and welcoming experience from the moment I walk in. She really needs better training.

By far the best massage I’ve ever had. Melissa exceeded my expectations. She applied the perfect amount of pressure and focused on every part of my body that needed work and everything in between. I walked in tense and stiff and walked out so relaxed and ready to take a nap. The ambiance in the place was also beautiful - the decor, the lighting, the sound, and even the smell. Will definitely go back!

I recently lost someone near and dear to my heart, and I was looking to replenish my soul. This spot is definitely The Now that I needed. The front desk staff is simply awesome. And Jose did my body good. I only let men massage me. He worked the knots out of my shoulders and back like a champion. I have a new massage home!

My experience was nothing but lovely! 🫶🏼From the moment I woke up today, my body needed a massage. I called “The Now” on a whim at 9:45am to see if anything was available. Luckily, Andie at the front desk assisted me in booking an 80min signature Now massage plus add ons for an appointment in just two hours. Im completely ecstatic on my way there and was greeted enthusiastically upon my arrival. Checkin was easy where I met Nelson. He was absolutely fantastic! Straight to point, super sweet, very professional, comforting and calming. I felt in total bliss with no distractions just the beach wave sounds in the background. My favorite part was the hemp calm balm enhancement that melted all my tension away. From a healthcare provider background it’s 100% worth it. I feel so rejuvenated, relaxed, and refreshed. Thank you kindly so much and I will be back. ***HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** 😍✨

I do not even know where to begin about the amazing experience I had today at this boutique located in the heart of Montclair, NJ. This amazing little gem offers the most calming, soothing, and healing experience anyone could ever ask for. As soon as you walk through the door, you immediately are transformed into a haven of healing. Greeted graciously by the experience guide Alexa, and Madison, the studio manager. These ladies make you feel so comfortable, and welcomed. As I awaited my appointment, I was given a refreshing glass of cucumber lemon water, and was given an abundance of knowledge of the services, and their health benefits from both ladies. It is wonderful to go to an establishment where the front desk staff, and manager, are so knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. Such a beautiful and welcoming environment. I was then greeted by my massage therapist Olivia, who immediately made me feel at home. Olivia is truly a master of her craft. She was phenomenal!! Her touch, her calming voice, and demeanor was unbelievable. I have been in pain daily, for over two years, resulting from an auto accident, and I can honestly say that Olivia worked wonders on my body….and my mind. I feel amazing!! I have a very hard time relaxing, but for 50 minutes, it was just me, Olivia’s healing hands, and the sound of soothing crashing waves. The whole vibe of the studio is absolutely perfection. The whole staff, decor, and services are beyond what one could ask for. Whether you want a massage every now and then, or prefer to become a ritual member, you have to get yourself here! If you are looking to transport yourself to Heaven for a little while, definitely make your way to The NOW Montclair. Believe me, you will ask yourself where has this place been my whole life! I am so very thankful to my husband Michael for gifting me a membership to this amazing establishment, so I can continue to reap the healing, and relaxing benefits of massage every month!!☺️

I was very hesitant in posting my review. After reading other negative reviews it seems like the owners either threaten to sue clients or delete any negative but honest feedback. As a paying customer I shouldn’t be scared to voice my frustrations and experiences.The spa is absolutely beautiful. However, the “GM” Liz is horrible. I took my mom to an appointment. I always wait for my mom because she doesn’t drive. The therapist was “caught in traffic” this is the 4th time this happened to us. All she offered was a free enhancement. My mom and I had seen Liz vaping right in front of the spa..who does that as a “GM”. Liz will come up to the front and have very inappropriate conversations with the girls at the desk. She even talks about other clients and uses cuss words. My mom has called multiple times and wanted to talk to LIz about a refund but it seems like she’s always busy! Luckily Catherine was able to help us out. I ended up canceling her membership because we are just disgusted with the service. I pay over $200.00 a month for my mothers plan but she’s not getting a 200$ service experience.When the old manager maddy was running the spa we never had these issues. She was always attentive and never dropped the ball. The owners don’t own a place of wellness but a circus. Hopefully the other location in FP opening up soon will be better.

Went for a massage here today and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Nelson, who was my massage therapist, was amaaazing! He was very professional, and made me feel comfortable and relaxed the entire time. The ambience of course was beautiful, I felt like I was in a tropical oasis somewhere. I will definitely be back!

Came here today because my back hurts and tightens up over time due to my profession. I was met by super nice front desk ladies who were kind to explain things to me.I was introduced to Dane who did my massage, who asked me a few questions about why I was there, to get a better understanding of what he was facing and certain other questions about my pain that I was never asked in other places (which is an excellent way to help your customers). Dane’s massage far exceeded my expectations because only 1 person in over 12 years had been able to get to the root of my discomfort. I highly recommend Dane to all of you reading these reviews! Thank you 🙏🏻

Great service, beautiful decor, great massages. I wish they offered more options but it’s purpose is a quick service type of massage place 25, 50, and 80 minute massages with 3 types of massages, they also have packages. Bonus: the beds are heated, inside is very zen and the soothing music and aroma therapy is awesome!

Everything about The NOW Montclair is 10/10! I have been serviced by multiple staff at this facility and I have always found them to be super professional, informative, and caring. Richard is an absolute genius when it comes to the art of massage. Hope is an absolute Angel with healing hands. Corrie has helped me tremendously with healing the pains in my back! Corrie gave me my first ever massage and I have not stopped since. You can tell that the therapists clearly are very passionate about their work and takes great care to address any problem areas while offering very helpful guidance and advice after session. The owners, management and front desk are super welcoming and I always have the best talks while I wait to be taken into service :) Montclair is lucky to have The NOW in the neighborhood. If you are looking for the most relaxing self care hour please try it and see for yourselves. Actions speak louder than words.

I get my massage done with Richard and it’s a wonderful experience every single time. Every time feels different. Richard is very thorough, goes far and beyond the massage service with a stretch first and it’s easy to tell that he knows what he is doing. I’m very much a fan.

Last month I had the pleasure of working with Jen W. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I work operations retail so I’m constantly carrying heavy boxes with knots in my back to match. Jen really listened to what I felt was aching me but also listened to my body and what it needed. I felt so relaxed afterwards but also energized. Excited for my next appointment with Jen !

I saw Liz today for my stretch massage and she did a fantastic job! My muscles are so tense and the massage didn’t hurt at all. She also gave some great pointers after the appointment to help combat the tightened muscles. Definitely recommend her if you plan to go here!

I got a really good massage here. I had a rib fracture and they were able to work with me to still avoid that area and give me a great massage. The space is really pretty as well. I thought it was a good massage for the price

We love it here. My son and I go once a month for massages. The staff are lovely and the practioners are excellent. We joined their club: prepay for monthly membership at a discounted rate. Menu of nice options. Heated tables with warm, weighted blankets. Pure heaven.

Updating my review since my most recent experience was just as great as the first time I was here. The people at the front desk were super friendly as always, and Dariana is really great.----This was my second time at The Now in Montclair, my first time was great, so I decided to book another appointment. My latest experience here was a little disappointing. My massage therapist asked me at the beginning of the of our appointment what areas Id like for him to focus on, which I let him know that my main problem areas were my neck and shoulders and he acknowledged. Unfortunately, he proceeded to not massage my neck and shoulders until I asked him again if he could nearing the last 5-10 min of our 80 min session. Some of the movements were a little quick and rough too, and not entirely relaxing/calming. The massage wasnt bad, it just wasnt what I was hoping or expecting since I had booked an appointment specifically for the tension in my neck and shoulders. Otherwise, the people at the front desk as well as my massage therapist were all kind and polite, and place itself is clean and has a nice ambiance.

Update:Again, 0 stars across the board. The owner Venessa C. tried to legally strong arm me to edit my review. But the fact remains the same: the massage was barely a 2 out of 10 & the whole experience was CONCERNING & POOR! So Customers…please pay very close attention to the business tacky, irresponsible response. Cause other customers have complained about the scare tactics they use whenever a complaint is brought up and this is a perfect example. They took 0 accountability for their actions because according to the owner my friend was “glowing” (such a subjective baseless perspective) instead of crying and looking sad on her way out. And to top it off, out of respect I did not mention that Bart was the masseuse… to preserve not only his anonymity but my friends as well, but this business owner displayed 0 tact in mentioning her name. The correct approach would have been to use this as an opportunity to train their staff. Instead of trying to discredit my friends experience with scare tactics and foolish accusations. Unless the owner was there in the room to see how the massage took place, it’s not their place to discount her experience. PERIOD! When your customers express disappointment or dissatisfaction your first step should be to take accountability! Instead of threatening lawsuits and verbal sparring. Customers take heed!Original Review:I would give 0 starts if I could.It’s sad that I have to write this review about the NOW massage, but here goes. I bought a $227 package (tip included) for my friend’s big 50th bday. I asked Alissa at the front desk prior to booking “who’s your best masseuse?” & she assured me that this gentleman was great. My friend arrived on time & got ready for the massage. That’s when things went downhill:1- in the waiting room amongst other guests he asked her personal questions about her preferences and medical info even if she’d already filled out their online intake form. This info could’ve been asked in the privacy of her room and immediately made her uncomfortable having to disclose publicly2- although I paid extra for the deep tissue pressure to be applied, the massage was light at best with no intensity or pressure. My friend owns a very successful massage studio herself hence me requesting someone who knew what they were doing. This was not a true deep tissue massage. So FAIL.3- curtains separate you from the other guests so you hear everything! If your intent is to relax or you’re noise sensitive…forget it4- It gets worse from here on out... The masseuse was breathing so loud that it seemed he was getting tired. Making it hard for her to relax.5- Then HE SWEAT ON HER BODY a few times & apologized. You heard that right! Despite him apologizing, hygiene wise no one expects to have their masseuse sweat touch their body. No one!All in all, the massage was a 2 out of 10 and she couldn’t wait to get out of there. It was an uncomfortable experience all around and not worth the hefty price tag.I complained to Alissa who apologized, stating she felt bad since she was the one who referred him. She then offered a complimentary session but neither me or my friend was interested because of the very poor experience overall. So she offered a full refund stating she would get management to issue the refund to my card since she didn’t have the ability to do so herself. They never did.So I paid $227 for my friend to get sweat on…just awesome! This could be you so take heed people!!!!!The management of this company disregarded my friend’s whole experience because according to them she seemed “happy” on her way out. Non confrontational people smile when they’re uncomfortable. Plus how many examples do we have of ppl seeming to be happy when they’re not. It’s called coping! That’s 0 indication that she had a great experience. I won’t be servicing this business again or recommending them. And urge you to look at their negative and lowest reviews first before getting sucked in.

I didn’t have the best first experience, but my second time was incredible. My welcome / check in process was lovely and it only got better from there. Shawne was amazing. We chatted before the treatment and she actioned every single thing I mentioned as a problem area. She was professional, checking in on pressure every time she switched areas, and she was courteous - limiting conversation for my experience and the others around us - while still being warm and engaging. I really didn’t think I would give Now a second chance but so glad I did.Thanks, Shawne!

The most amazing massage and one of the best experiences I’ve ever had for a massage. This massage is a whole vibe, they have a dark ambiance and white noise. My massage therapist was Evelyn. I was beyond happy with her therapeutic massage that really improved my achy muscles. In a nutshell, highly, highly recommend this place.

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the customer service.One of the most concerning aspects of my experience has been the companys refusal to cancel my membership and provide a refund. They prefer to extend your membership plan instead give your money back. Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this issue, I have been met with nothing but resistance. It is unacceptable that I am being forced to continue with a membership that I no longer want, and I am deeply disappointed by the lack of professionalism. If they had informed me before that they would not reimburse me if I did not use the service, I would never accept the membership, as it shows that the important thing for them are numbers and not the customer. 12/10/2023REVIEW UPDATED: 02/10/2024I regret to report a disheartening experience with The Now Massage. Following the cancellation of my membership, instead of a refund, they extended the service period, only to cancel my scheduled massage on the same day. The reason? They demanded the removal of my negative Google review about my terrible experience in exchange for the massage, in other words I was blackmailed.This turn of events left me not only without the service I had paid for but also feeling deeply sad and disappointed . As the saying goes, what was cheap was expensive.So, here I am, posting my second review, not out of spite, but out of a commitment to truth. I urge you to consider this: if a business is more focused on silencing its critics than improving its services, is it really a place where we want to go?

Absolutely loved my massage with Melissa! She was fantastic. The pressure was perfect and she did everywhere I had pain which is pretty much all over from holding my baby all the time and nursing. She also focused on the areas I had the most chronic pain in as well. The added herbal heat therapy was lovely. The place and ambiance are beautiful, calming and makes you feel like you’re somewhere else. I also love the soothing sound of waves. I can’t wait to be back for another massage!

So, today I had my Prenatal 80 minutes massage with (pay attention to this, I will explain at the end😂)$15 extra service that calls Prenatal Glow. (spoiler) I was extremely confused and a bit disappointed with my experience.Long story short, my appointment was scheduled initially a day earlier, but was canceled due to the “technician was feeling unwell”, which is totally understandable and I asked if I can come next day. Very nice receptionist rescheduled me for 11:00am and she said that my Extra (Prenatal Glow) service will be complimentary due to inconvenience.Next day (today) I came 10 min earlier to sign the consent forms, went to the restroom and at 11:00 am was ready to start my session. 5-7 minutes later my technician came out, she asked me a few questions about my preferences and I explained that my only issue -hips, currently I’m 34 weeks pregnant and sleep on sides only, so if she can pay more attention to hips area I would greatly appreciate it.The technician left me in the room to get ready, I was ready in a minute, it took sometime for her to come back, and she started a session after about 10 minutes.I’m 5.4 and my pregnant weight 130 pounds, so its not like I love “hardcore” massage, but technician were barely touching my shoulders, then a bit on my back, then my foot. Then she covered me with a sheet and pressed for a few minutes on my hip- DONE ✅ She asked me to turn on other side, and did the same. It took her not long, so she started scratching my head (I had a pony tail and it was quite unpleasant) and then she massaged my ear for the next 5 minutes😆 then she said we are done and left me to change my clothes.When I got dressed and looked at my phone it was 12:19pm 🤷🏻‍♀️ almost 80 minutes if you’re not counting 20 minutes preparation 😉. Again, I don’t care if the massage would be a massage, but I felt like nothing, my hips were still hurting and I had no relaxation.Oh, I also asked what does it mean “Prenatal glow” and you know what was the answer- it’s ability to lay on a side and have a pillow between your legs for extra comfort 🤣🤣🤣 seriously, that’s the extra $15 service! And lucky me, I got it complimentary 😎So I paid for my massage, added tips for my technician and left the shop in confusion with half of my head oily from the lotion (another side was fresh and clean, because my technician needed to kill the time only on my second side 🤭).I rated 2 stars because I didn’t like the massage, BUT the place is beautiful, sheets are crispy clean and stuff is kind, even though it’s not a real massage.I wanted to love this place, wanted to find “my technician”, because we are all different and need to find the right professional, and I would gladly schedule every week, but “killing time” manner and foolish “extras” make me feel so stupid, that I doubt I will be back or recommend this place to my family and friends. Stay honest with your clients, and you will gain more.

Richard was 5 stars amazing! He noticed things I never did about myself- how i lean forward and my shoulders are very stiff and one side is higher than the other. He really focused on what I needed to improve my health. He even stretched me out. It felt so amazing! Im very critical when I get massages. Usually I feel disappointed in the customer service and dont feel much relief afterwards. But Im proud to say this experience at The Now was the best Ive ever had! Everyone was extremely welcoming here and the atmosphere is beautiful and soothing. It was a truly healing experience!

I have been getting regular massages for a while before I discovered Now Massage, and I was always under the impression there is no real method to a “good” massage. Boy was I wrong! The massages at Now are tailored to your pain points. The entire experience from the heated bed, to the sound, to the individual technique is designed to make you feel the best you. I have been going to Corrie since the Montclair location opened, and now that I’m a member, I don’t see myself going anywhere else.

The spa is beautiful, so calm, quiet and very relaxing. Olivia B is a true professional who treated me with kindness and respect with the careful draping of sheets and a quiet voice (enhanced by her English accent!). Her hands are truly magical. I felt all the benefits of massage given by a masseuse who really knows her stuff! Apparently she has been honing her massage skills for a few years and her clients really benefit from her knowledge and commitment to her art. Thanks so much to The Now. I’ll be back:)

Tried The Now 2 weeks ago and went back this past weekend. The masseuse that worked on my terrible knots around my neck and shoulders was AMAZING! She was able to get me to relax but my knots went away significantly. The staffs at the front desk were super sweet and nice. When you first walk in for your appointment you are offered water and warmly welcome. I added on enhancements and they were both so worth it the heated Herbal Pad and the Gua Sha. Alexa at the front is a sweetheart and I signed up as a member there for a once a month massage. I love having this to look forward to monthly,:)

My husband and I had massages here. I had a scalp massage add on and the heating pad. I think the heating pad was a bit too warm for me, but overall the experience was great. I could have told the therapist to turn the heat down a little, so I take responsibility for that 😅. I loved the waves crashing in the background and I like canvas sectionals/open air layout. I would definitely come back if we lived closer.

This is my first time going to NOW Massage Montclair and it will certainly not be my last.I was so lucky to have Nelson as my massage therapist as he gave me one of the BEST massages Ive had in years. He attentively listened to my needs and went right to work. The environment is so unique and listening to the wave noise machine transported me to Rincon, PR where we stayed at a bed and breakfast right on the beach.I suffered from a herniated disc during the pandemic and had surgery but have had a nagging pain in my lower back ever since. I shared this with Nelson and he knew exactly what to do. I must say, the pain is gone. GONE! I walked out of the massage room renewed.I highly recommend going to NOW and booking with Nelson. You will not be disappointed. And yes I rebooked for next month.Sorry for not taking any photos. I blissfully drifted out of the spa without a care in the world. Yes, Nelson is that good! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She also asked about any surgeries which I found interesting as no other massage place ever cares to ask any of this. The facility is a true experience. The lighting, the music, the scents, the dim rooms was all fantastic. Def get the aromas therapy it was so nice how we did breathing exercises to help set an intention with them. Also, add the scalp massage OMG I was in heaven!!!!! Will definitely be back!!! Best of all across the street is a juice bar which I visited immediately after to help with detox.

The ambience and decor is nice, along with the relaxing music/sounds. It makes you feel like you’re in Tulum. While the rooms are dimly lit they aren’t actual “rooms” - they have “tent-like” material as walls which are a bit translucent. You can’t see the person in the space next to you completely, but it can be a bit uncomfortable trusting that you can’t see them or they can’t see you depending on how close you are to the sides of the space dividers. More importantly, the two massage therapists my wife and I had, seemed very inexperienced. I’m not even sure if they were licensed massage therapists. One rushed through the whole session and didn’t even ask if there were parts to avoid, if there were any prior injuries, etc. The therapist I had was very sweet but also seemed inexperienced. She was afraid to use any pressure at all. I told her to use stronger pressure but didn’t. She also barely focused on the areas I asked her to focus on. While the prices are reasonable and their membership options are reasonable, nobody is going to pay for a massage membership that isn’t massage “therapy” or therapeutic. They only do “relaxing” massages. I’m guessing that’s because they’re not “licensed” massage therapists. When someone isn’t licensed you run the risk of them actually “hurting” or injuring you. Nobody wants to pay $100+ dollars for someone to lightly touch your back with their hands and forearms. Won’t be going back unless I want to “relax” and leave my expectations at the door.

My wife and I stopped by The Now and we were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The folks at the front desk and the therapist were friendly and professional, the ambiance was relaxing and calming, and the asethetic was hip and chic. Highly recommend!

My first visit was a week ago, and my masseuse was Nelson. Nelsons calm demeanor was an addition to the ambiance of the environment. I was hooked and I am looking forward to my monthly visits.

Amazing facilities and staff. Monthly pricing is quite affordable, and I must say well worth it.

The idea is cool, but the prices don’t match. Massage was a 5/10 and the large boombox playing splashing waves wasn’t my cup of tea, although someone else might love it. Don’t get the extras, it’s gimmicky. Basically some oil on your head, and an under eye plastic peel, not worth $15 each.

I had the best experience! I’m normally afraid to get a massage as I have several trouble areas due to injury. This is the first massage that I received where I felt relaxed.The individual who worked with me asked me about my pressure spots. I have significant spinal damage and I walked out feeling relaxed. Top place that is very affordable with experienced staff.
