About Bliss Spa
Founded in 1996, the first Bliss spa—in New York City's SoHo—was spotted by beauty-obsessed buzz-makers and quickly massaged its way to the top. Bliss ignited a modern spa revolution by combining a clever menu of super-effective services and a fun, 'no-attitude' atmosphere. With trademark touches like rhythm and blues tunes (much more soothing than 'whale music'), a brownie buffet (carrot sticks just don't cut it) and the friendliest, most talented staff on the planet, it's no wonder we've gained a gaggle of grooming groupies over the years.
