Today’s new business entry.
I guess Hoboken is filled with tense, stressed out residents! Will massage places join the ranks of dry cleaners, nail salons & realtors?
The great thing about M&C Chi First Body Spa is that the number can be easy to remember if you sing it to the tune of the Cablevision Triple Play song: “2-0-1, 4-1-8, Oh, Oh, Oh, Eiiiight!”
Genius!
Description - Massage (and not sure what “else”)
Address - 262 1st St, Hoboken, NJ 07030
Telephone - 201-418-0008

This place isn’t really new, it just has a new name.
It used to be called Chigo Tuina then they changed the name to Chi First, now this…guess they can’t decide on a good name yet.

Put the words “Chi First” into the search box on the right hand corner of h411’s site and you’ll find links/photos of what the older awnings looked like.
You might recognize it from those pics. It was easily overlooked with their older awnings and def now stands out more.

I live on first and it was Gala Pilates about 3 weeks ago.

This massage place could have been someplace else but new to this location.

hey mecy,
I’m wrong and you are 100% correct…I completely overlooked the address and thought this was the old “chi first”
I didn’t realize there were two massage places with the words chi first in their names, kinda weird.
Let me know if you stop in this place and if they are any good.

Yeah, this place is definitely new.

Is it legit or is it like one of those rub & tug places?

definitely looks like a “houppy ending” joint.

Hoboken 411, I am a little disappointed with you. I rarely post but often rely on the insight of both you and those who post on this site. However, I think you are a little out of line with this string of commentary. Has anyone who has thusfar commented on this business actually gone inside to check it out? Have any of you had a massage there? I for one have been to many of the Hoboken spas, and the massage at Chi First is top notch. Having been a serious athlete for many years, I appreciate a therapeutic massage, as opposed to a typical swedish one.
I think its very juvenile and irresponsible to make snide and false accusations or jokes about this business without even knowing anything about it. The people who own this business had to raise money to start a new enterprise, and took a big risk in doing so.
Why don’t you all grow up and find something better to do with your time than rip apart other people’s dreams for your own petty amusement?
Granted, I work for a living and will not be here to read the I’m sure witty and pointless responses I get to this post. It’s not my goal to provoke you to respond to me. If you seem interested in this alleged seedy massage parlor, please go check it out and then post something that you actually know about.
I somewhat care if this place stays in business b/c its very close to my apartment where my girlfriend and I live, and is very convenient for a soothing massage. But I write this more for the principle of what you are all doing to these people.
For clarification, if any of you had even bothered to pick up one of their flyers, you would know this is their second location, after their initial location on Wash between 9th and 10th.
I really think it’s because of people like you that good businesses seem to disappear in Hoboken and are survived by mediocre ones. It boggles my mind that you make fun of a business for having an anatomical drawing on display that attempts to show its consumers in what way its services can be of help to you.
