I don't get a massage to relax, I get a massage because my body needs work, and I know what I want done. Yes, there's a language barrier here with SOME of the employees, including the older Chinese man that came as a recommendation from a friend. But OMG. That guy (don't know his name) worked MAGIC!! I was suffering severely from sciatica, and muscles all over my body were stressed out and in so much pain... I must have $500 over 3 sessions with him, but it was worth penny. The first time I told him what I needed done, and he did it. the second and third times I didn't say anything and he just KNEW what to do, he KNEW where to work on me without me saying, and I didn't need the same places worked on as the first time. Every time I left there I felt like I was walking on a cloud... he worked on me an hour and a half the first time, and 2 hours the other times. I tip him really well because he's worth it. Haven't had anyone else, and don't plan to. be patient with the language barrier and ask for the old man... 6 stars, really.

I did a 90 minute in a solo room, and this was one of the best massages I have had in a long time, and I have been to massage envy's and boutique massage spas in the greater boston area. The massage tech had a great balance of pressure points and medium pressure massage and my body feels more relaxed and open than it has in a long time. As a bonus, he was one of the few massage therapists that really did my legs and calves the right way to get to some of the stuck spots. I will absolutely be back! Note: from other reviews and some research, this massage style tends to be more medium to hard pressure and can be painful if you aren't used to trigger point or deep tissue. Its what I like to get full muscle release but might not be for someone looking for a lighter relaxation massage!

My reflexology this morning was a 3, but I decided on a 2 star based on the interaction when I…read morearrived: I had searched Yelp for reflexology and decided to give a call because it is just a few miles away, and the "early bird" special Mon-Thursday 10-2 looked like a good thing for my first time in. I wasn't sure if I needed an appointment so I called at 10am this morning (Thursday) and asked if I could get a one hour foot massage right away? Nice woman who answered the phone said yes and to come on in...I was pretty happy. I arrived less than 15 minutes later and said that I had just called and what I would like. The man at the desk asked if I was going to use cash or credit, I said cash and asked about the early bird discount; he said there was no discount. It's not about the $4.50 off, but since it is prominently advertised on the website - moving banner ad on top AND the "specials" tab - is it really just a way of getting people in early? I said "OK, but it is on your website"... he said NO. Alrighty then, but 2 photos attached to show that it is! Massage itself was nice, but I would have loved a hand towel to cover the pillow I was leaning against. I realized that I had just showered and washed my hair, and who knows how old that pillow was? I tipped him 20%, barely got a thank you and out I went. If I really needed it I would return with lower expectations AND my own towel to lie on!

Have been going here for a while with generally good massages , but today's experience , my first…read moreafter their price hike recently , was certainly a bit off putting and galling. The price hike is NOT my problem , but is relevant as you'll see in a minute. I had a 1 hour /$50 massage and tipped $16-17 .. this came to $70 total with cc fees . I got confronted uncomfortably after about "did I not like the service? , and I could get someone else next time , because you usually tip me $20+!" . 1) I do not understand how a 32% tip of $17 isn't enough to hold your tongue, even if it was less than my usual tip of $20. Accept it is wha it is and move on. Confronting a customer on a tip is straight up rude. 2) I rounded up to a total cost of $70 or so , and because of the pricing increase I didn't notice initially, I guess I didn't give my "regular" expected tip as part of the total. 3) the suggested tip at the time very clearly posted (a little awkwardly too ..) was $14 .. which I was clearly above. I wasn't even at the bottom of the minimum expectation. Complaining about a tip from a reliable repeat customer who's never been cheap, what the heck? I would've said this place was 4-5 stars outside of this experience but I found this whole thing very frustrating and rather ruined my day. If I could, I'd go back and drop the tip for that behavior entirely.

Mandarin Healing Spa's good reviews were promising but the massage was one of the worst I've had in recent memory. First, my masseuse was extremely rough, almost sloppy, in terms of technique. There were several parts where she was just raking her elbow or her fist on my back mechanically instead of working out the knots/kinks. I'm not necessarily looking for Mandarin Oriental-level of care but I didn't care for the sensation of feeling like a dummy being whaled on. And I mean that literally - she was actually punching me at one point. Hygiene was also an issue. From the constant sniffles, it sounded like she had a cold and even sneezed but kept right on going (here's hoping she sneezed into her elbow and not on her hands ... still, you should go wash your hands). The bed itself was not comfortable. Again, not expecting a ton out of a no-frills spot but I do prefer not to have particle board under the head rest digging into my cheek. When I checked the mirror afterwards, I had a lovely vertical indent going down my face. The interaction at the end left an incredibly bad taste in my mouth. They're incredibly insistent that you pay the tip, if not the whole amount, in cash, which I can understand with very small businesses but I also would've appreciated a heads-up on the phone when I booked that using a credit card adds an extra $3.75 to the cost. Also, the manager was very pushy in asking for a 25% tip ($20 for a mediocre 60-minute $80 massage) and kept saying how most customers do $20 for an even $100. Regardless of how true that may be, a customer should be allowed to tip however much they want based on the experience they received, and, if it weren't for my desperation to take a shower and wash the germs off me, I would have stood firm. I've never had someone outright demand a higher tip and it was enough to make me never want to go back. Waste of $100.
