I came in as a walk-in, today Saturday, Aug 23, 2025 and was asked to pay first (cash preferable) but I only had my card and my phone to pay with TAP. I was told it would be $5 extra since it wasn't CASH I agreed and ask to include a $5 dollar tip. The front desk (guy) said it is a $10 minimum tip. At that point I walked out. Their tipping policy is just ridiculous how can I reward someone for a service that I have not received. I'm sure this place is a scam. read more

The ambiance was very calm even though it was busy. I don't understand why people kinda bag on the place I didn't get the name who attended me but yea very good massage. read more

The service is not that good and they demand minimum of $10 tip. Is a money hungry massage place.

First time here today I called before to make an appointment for 2 at 5pm. We arrived they had us pay before we got the massage no big deal got the massage I'm 6 months pregnant and they accommodate me I had Linda and my wife got Coco and it was such a good massage for the both of us I even knocked out. Would recommend 10/10 nice hidden gem. read more

Great price for one hour massage, massage by Cindy. She was good, did her best to help with my shoulder/ neck that got tweaked two days ago. It's not a spa experience or anything very nice. The beds aren't the comfiest and worn down, you can hear everything in the other rooms; especially when people are making weird noises It's like you get what you pay for. I didn't get harassed for tips like majority of the people mentioned. I tipped over $15 read more

I paid for a one hour full body massage I told the lady I wanted my massage with medium pressure She decided to massage me with hard pressure like if she was massaging a man , as a woman our body tends to be more sensitive, I felt like she was putting a brick on my body , instead of helping me relax she made me want to go to a chiropractic after I left this place with a bad back ache super sore I lasted 3 days with soreness I called the next day to make them aware they left me really sore and I wasn't satisfied with there service , I spoke with Annie and she offered a massage again So when I went back to get a massage which was within the 3rd day Annie was the one to massage me and made me feel better I believe the massage people they have are not certified and just do massages with no experience I wouldn't go back And definitely not recommend!!! read more

worse massage I've ever gotten. super rushed and horrible rubbing massage. a lot of talking and the massage people just get distracted and give weak massages in between talking which happens way to much for paying $50 for an hour and only get 40 minutes read more

$80 for an 1hr 30 was well worth it. She hit all the right grooves/places. I went in feeling like I had knots all over. She knew how to give pressure in key necessary points! Nice calming music dimly lighted great ambience. I recommend. read more

Most of the negative reviews on here are due to pricing but cmon now lol.... They give great massages! Best massage place in town read more

First timer.. massage was good just didn't like how you have to pay service PLUS $10 tip MUST be minimum $10 tip (was told in the end)

Came today and they're forcing me to pay $10 tip plus $5 dollar card transaction They're good though, they have the skills to give a good massage. They just need to get a better charging system. read more

Wow! I felt so relieved after the full body session. I had upper back pain and Jon the massage therapist got rid of all my back knots. They are very skilled and will heal you. $50 for 60min + tip. I recommend taking cash in advance or else $5 credit card fee! Highly recommend this place read more

Worst service ever ! My therapist kept walking away to receive walk in customers. When he was done I had to have my sister help me get dressed I couldn't move my lower back hurt so bad. And they're so demanding on the tip. My sister told him you either take it or I can take it back cause that's all we have have and he literally snatched it from her hand. read more

I came to get a massage, with my husband, and my dad , on our way out the lady in the front tells me I have to give tip mandatory , she didn't give me the option . I felt so embarrassed, to top it off they said give me you credit card to pay the tip. They should tell you this in the beginning that way we can get prepared or charge what they really want to charge sorry you just lost 3 customers. read more

One of the male massage therapist was so rude because I gave him 6 dollar tip. He yelled at me saying 10 dollar at least I saw you had a 20 dollar bill. Tip is optional and I find it extremely rude to be asked for more specially when we're in a recession. I Was a regular customer but now thanks to this ungrateful person I won't be going anymore read more

This place is ridiculous! They charge a $5 minimum to use your debit/credit card. Then once they're done with your service they DEMAND a minimum of $10 tip!! In that case just raise your prices because what if people only have the exact amount to pay. They demanded my boyfriend to put the tip on his card and still charged him a fee!! All while giving us terrible attitude, the man was angry, this place is a joke. read more

Massage was what ever had better ... super rude they were demanding a tip after paying for service .. and I gave them $5 tip and the guy made a sign like get out and looked at me ugly . read more

I love going here but always request Tina because she goes above and beyond with her massage. I always leave feeling relaxed and always recommend people to go here with her. Tip is expected but well worth it with her. read more

I won't rate it negative stars because I can't but they are super deceiving. Online they show a price you call they confirm the price once you show up they have a new price. They make you pay up front and force you to leave a higher tip than what you want to leave they usually want a $20 tip forced. The massage wasn't even good. I would highly recommend not to go here go anywhere else. They are just money hungry. Don't waste your time people told me not to go here because of these same exact reason but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. But it was all correct they are terrible. read more

This place is exceptional and most importantly clean. I would strongly recommend. 5 STARS!!!

Best massage place.you come out of there feeling like a new person..Highly recommend it to any one who may feel stressed and needs to relax.. read more

Been there a few times cause I live close by. They have skills and although they tell you to pay upfront for tip, it's worth it cause it's only fair in my opinion. read more

Went for a 30min massage and they cut my massage short by 10min... for the poor service I only tipped $5 and then was demanding $10 and they literally thru me out and told me not to come back.. they're very rude here I do not recommend this place read more

I was hesitant to go to this place but tbh it has been the best FULL BODY deep tissue massage I've ever gotten. I've gone to other places and they only focus on your back and legs. This guy literally massaged me from head to toe and it was amazing. I had no issues with payments. I didn't mind paying upfront and they never asked me for tips. Before going, I had a migraine and coming out of there it was gone. I felt like a whole new person. No muscle tension, no migraine, felt lighter and like I could breathe and for $60 bucks. I'm definitely going back. read more

Horrible! If you usually give tip after a service do not come here. They forced me and my sister to tip at least 10 and would not take a $5 tip before the service was done. The service was cut about 20 minutes short from the hour service we paid for. This place is overall bad, if they want more money they can charge more instead of demanding for bigger tips. read more

Came in with neck & back pain, left feeling so much better! I believe the gentleman that helped me was named Joe or John, he was great! I did the $45 combo. I think I found my new massage spot read more

This is the best massage ever and those people who are leaving negative reviews shame on you how can you give these amazing massage therapist $6 you have no idea what etiquette is in giving tips and giving tips you don't deserve these people read more

I've been here a total of 3 times. Each time the front desk person has been unwelcoming and pushed the higher massage, the one above the $20 one. My sister-in-law really likes this place because of their 1hr service for $19.99, so i accompany her when i can. If it weren't for her i wouldn't come here because the staff is so unwelcoming that i get extremely anxious. I just feel awkward walking in and them just staring at you especially cause it takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the dark room. On my 1st visit, i went in with a burning shoulder and i left without it! I did the $20 massage, one hour that includes head/shoulder massage, foot soak and massage, and body massage. On my 2nd visit, my masseuse painfully rubbed in her knuckle(?) into the bottom of my foot. She also left a few bruises in my arms. When it was painful I asked her to be a bit softer and she went too soft. The shoulder rub did not remove the burning pain from my shoulder. On my 3rd visit my male masseuse was amazing! He had such soft hands, it made my arm and hands massage that much nicer. He was able to apply the correct amount of pressure on my body to get the kinks out without it being painful. He cracked my back and got my shoulder pain outta the way. As for the tip, I've never felt pressured to leave a tip or asked to leave more money. If they had a friendly receptionist I'd leave more stars and frequent this place more. read more

Definitely worth it.....: make sure you tip good.... they are great.... clean and friendly.

Very rude. I gave them a $10 tip and they forced me to give them $20 they said $10 is not enough. Horrible do not come here. Massage was not good. read more

Received the Deep Tissue 1 hour massage from Joe. Best massage I think I've ever received. I've been getting massages for years and I don't think I've ever had one so relaxing before. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!! They tried to use dirty gloves on me... chick was blowing into them to reverse them. I told her "No! New gloves please." She got scared, went to the back and got a fresh pair. They reuse the plastic bags in the water tubs... my masseuse was talking to the other masseuse the entire time she was massaging me.. Overall, bad bad bad!!! Right as I was supposed to leave.. she demanded her tip.. I asked her excuse me?! She said.. "tip!" I said.. you wanted to use dirty gloves on me, you wanted to use dirty plastic bags for the tub on me, you talked the entire time after I told you to please be quiet.. you just didn't seem to care so you're not getting a "tip!!!!" She had the audacity to chase me to my car for a tip.. HORRIBLE!!!!! read more

It was my first time here, my friend referred me to come here. Me and my girlfriend just walked in and this Asian lady with a RBF come out and told us "we business right now you call ahead" We just said ooooookk and walked out. By the way door slapped me on my back hard and that's where I'm getting pain.... read more

When you walk in you will immediately notice the lack of bright lights in the lobby due to blue lighting so it makes for a calm environment. There's about four private booths and about four public stations outside in front of the private booths. You can pay with credit card, debit and of course cash is king. You can get a gift certificate if you want to gift a service. Once you pay, you will be lead to the station where you will be asked to laid down and roll up your pants in order to soak your feet in a tub of warm water while you get a body massage to relax your feet. Your body and head will be covered and then you will be massaged let the masseuse know if you don't want the hard intensity ask for soft please speak up. Once they massage your head and neck, shoulders hands and arms. You will hear latex gloves being put on by your attendant and you feel a tap on your feet to place your top of a pillow and your foot massage will begin. Lotion or cream is used on your feet and body. Once your feet have been massaged then you will be asked to flip around and put your head inside the hole of the massage bed/chair. After that your shoulders, arms, hands, legs, and feet will be massaged again. I do recommend this especially for those Sundays for simple pampering. read more

Horrible. I didn't like my massage and they didn't even give me the full hour I paid for! I shouldn't even have tipped but I was going to give $6 and the lady said minimum tip was $10! Wow I didn't know tip was not optional. Never coming again read more

My mom and I have been coming here for a couple of years starting at $20 but had to tip them $5. We've been taking family from out of state. I came back again and now it's $30 plus we have to tip them $10 now. They hurt my aunts leg and they were rude to my cousin and I pressuring us to pay before the massage when 2 other males paid after their massage and left. We didn't want to tip them $10 for each person in my family and they followed us out the door until we crossed the street towards Marshall's. If they weren't so rude we would have gladly tipped them with no problem but the lady at the desk was horrible. read more

Didn't like the fact that they try to force you to give a $10 tip for a $20 dollar masage. No Bueno. Walked Out! Taking my business elsewhere. read more
