DO NOT GO HERE. Please read and save yourself $72! Or even $80 because "everybody tips $20."
This is my first review and hopefully my only review that I will ever have to write. Here are my NINE reasons for leaving a 1 star review:
1) I had to pay BEFORE the service (which I understand, but is very uncommon for most services).
2) The owner insisted that I tip $20 BEFORE SERVICE (33.3% of the $60 bill) for a "harder" massage. I told her that I would tip after because I tip depending on the service.
3) About 15 minutes into the massage, the owner brought up how I should give a $20 tip. I said well, that's 33% and I usually tip 20-30%, depending on the quality of service.
She then stops doing her regular massage for about 10 seconds and is basically just rubbing my skin. She says "this is 20% massage." She laughs after.
4) Towards the end of the service, the owner tells me how I am "young" and "handsome." This made me feel kind of uncomfortable and I think she was really trying to get that $20 tip out of me.
5) She didn't even turn the lights back on for me to put my clothes back on. That's not the biggest of deals, but little things like that are noticed.
6) This place was sketchy to begin with, so I decided to time the massage myself.
The "60 minute, $60 massage" went from 7:38pm - 8:33pm. 5 minutes short isn't too bad, but I made sure to confront her since I was essentially screwed over $5. She tried to prove that the massage was 60 minutes by showing me the receipt. The receipt shows the time of payment, NOT the time of service.
7) The owner tried to make me feel bad for only tipping $12 because apparently "everybody tips $20." I explained to her exactly why she received only a 20% tip and she said that she'd "be happy with $10."
Why was she so butthurt about my $12 tip?
8) "I hurt my finger giving you massage." - The Owner. This was said when we were arguing about why I didn't tip $20. I do feel bad, but come on! Trying to make a customer feel bad for doing your job?
9) I paid $72 for the most average massage. My muscles are still very tight and only felt relief for 1 hour after! Literally, I am writing this review an hour after the service and I feel like I never got a massage.
OPINION: I believe it's wrong to change the quality of your service based on how much somebody tips. The quality of the service should determine the tip, which is why I made sure to tip AFTER. Somebody who tips $1 has the right to receive the same service as somebody who tips $100! I find this place's business techniques unethical.
CONCLUSION: If they keep up service like this, expect this place to go out of business in the near future. Does not help their case that they argued with me and raised their voice. When I spoke, the owner just kept giggling.
SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR A BETTER MASSAGE & BETTER SERVICE.
