This place is a SHAM! When I first walked in and the place smelled like gross food, I should have…read morewalked out then. I didn't, and ending up having a weird, disjointed, and very UN-relaxing, UN-effective massage...add to that, a super SHADY price, which was worse.
The lady showed me to the room, said, 'take clothes off, face down.' Ok, standard stuff. Apparently she was not my therapist because I hear a man's voice. He is the one that is going to work on me; let your clients know what is going on. Zero communication. It's a little jarring when you are face down, and the person you think is going to be there, is someone else!
I'm sure the person working on me was nice enough, but he left the room twice without telling me why. How unsettling! Once was to get hot stones that were not EVEN luke warm, and once was to get a hot towel to wipe off the house disinfectant-smelling oil he used on my back. I had to wash it off as soon as I got home. When he came back the second time, he left the door ajar, so anyone walking by might be able to see me covered in this weird 'half' sheet. No whole sheets, weird. I could certainly hear others talking since the door was open. So many times I wanted to end the massage because it was so awful. The guy, is he even licensed? Is this place licensed? He kept trying to cover my hair in a towel to keep the oil off-he spent several minutes adjusting that. Frustrating, when he could have been working on my back.
The kicker: their sign that has been displayed on Eubank for more than a year states, "$50-one hour massage." When I went to pay, the bill was $64. I said, "no, your sign states..."-The lady said no, and showed me a chart showing different prices for the SAME ONE HOUR MASSAGE. (They have different pricing depending on the time of day. ) I told her that it was not fair because of their advertisement. She said since I was a first time client, that is was ok to do $50. Whatever. The price was $50, then a $3.00 service charge I wasn't expecting, and tax. I tipped a small amount and she had the AUDACITY to say that I had to tip 20%!!! I certainly did not. Their business name on my bank statement is 'Body Foot Spa Albuquerque NM' it doesn't even match the business name on the door and facade which is, 'Health Body Foot Spa, AND Body Foot...?'
