I have had my share of different types of massages all over North America. Mostly for the relief of tight neck and stiff lower back muscles, and because it just puts me in a positive, peaceful, relaxed state of mind. I rarely leave reviews, but for Miss Anderson and her salon Carpe Diem Massage here in Memphis, it is much deserved. I was feeling rather stressed from the Holidays, work, family, etc. and really needed to relax and unwind. Looking throughout the various salons online, my gut told me to book at Carpe Diem Massage and I'm so very glad I did. Upon meeting Neysa Anderson in her beautiful salon, I was made to feel very welcome and I knew I was in good hands. The atmosphere, dimly lit with candles, was calming and the relaxing massage from Neysa that followed was enough to send me a million miles away from stresses of everyday life. Booking a treatment through Miss Anderson's Carpe Diem salon, was very smooth, and communication was very swift and clear. I tried the Regular VIP treatment package #3, which started with a swedish style massage, followed by some additional treatments that I chose, including hot stone therapy and use of a deep tissue machine. The last part of my chosen package concluded with an amazing sugar scrub table massage. My rough skin was soft for days afterwards! Time just flies during such a treatment. It was extremely relaxing to such a point, that I was almost sleeping. After the treatment I was allowed to just relax a bit and slowly come back to reality at my own pace. (Next time, I will be sure to add an additional half hour to my session). Miss Anderson is professional, very customer-oriented, and clearly cares for the experience her customers have. Her Carpe Diem salon is beautifully appointed and has such a nice relaxing vibe to it. I really felt like I received the VIP treatment here and look forward to my return. Now I feel relaxed, stress free, and ready to take on the New Year. Thank you Neysa. I'll be back soon! read more

I attempted to book a massage with this business today. & the owner was rude & told me I couldn't read. Also they do not have a physical location anymore. They are now mobile working out of Walmart parking lots in Raleigh, which is already sketchy. Then I was told I wasn't able to redeem my voucher until she sent me back a "courtesy text." Don't waste your money not time with this person. read more

Beware of this person Do not waste your time or money. This person was is rude. My wife realized it was not a safe place. It is not in a good place. My wife was yelled at while leaving " You are so stupid you do not know where the F***ing bathroom is" . My wife said god speed and left. Please do not go to someone who treats others in this manner. read more

I couldn't even book an appointment!! I had ONE valid question about CONFLICTING INFORMATION stated on the Groupon website and her text message. She refused to even answer my question. Long ass response texts IMMEDIATELY for someone who is so "booked and busy" don't bother with her at all. You couldn't PAY ME to go get a massage from her read more

I attempted to book a couples massage for $300 as advertised by the website. I immediately was prompted by the website to check my email to confirm that my reservation was accepted. I never received this e-mail. I received a text saying that the massage was $320. When I called the business to clarify, I was prompted to only text. When I texted the owner to clarify the price she said that the price was a misprint but was unclear if the price on the website was a misprint or the price quoted to me via text. The owner became increasingly rude over text and the interaction was extremely uncomfortable as a customer simply trying to book a relaxing couples massage and clarify some things. Eventually I said: "Your interactions have been extremely unprofessional" The response from the owner was " You are now blocked. You will need to refrain from contacting this business again. You obviously are crazy. This business does not deal with crazy people. Have a good day." This owner's poor website design, and hostile communication are frankly quite concerning for someone who was simply trying to make some clarifications before a relaxing couples massage. Then...20 minutes ago I received a harassing message from her regarding this review. This business owner has a rage problem. I did not and will not respond but I think the general public should be aware. I never even write reviews. This is the first time I have ever felt appalled enough to download yelp just to notify the general public. read more

Carpediem Massage - Massage Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

DD was my masseuse and was able to get me in last minute. It was a wonderful massage and she focused on my inflamed areas. The other reviews seem to only refer to the owner who I did not have contact with but DD is great and I will go back. read more

The customer service is complete garbage. The owner is very rude and literally pushed her door on me while trying to enter her establishment, thennn she tried to flip the switch and threw me out of her business and threatened to call police. She does not need to be in business. You will be more confused and her website is nothing like her site. This is a scam. You are unsafe, this is an unsafe business. She is a menace to her customers. DO NOT BOOK APPOINTMENT. read more

Don't waste your time or money. I agree with the majority of the existing comments. This provider is rude, pushy with her rules and need for control. She doesnt deserve one star! When I said she was being very rude to me she said " Get out I dont serve people like you" (?) and added "you are so stupid you dont even know where the F______ bathroom is. (?) sad! read more

Response time is not prompt at all. Attempted to book a couples massage and almost felt like was stalking for a response. Instructions on booking site are but thorough. Very disappointed read more

My appointment has already been paid for but I will not be going. I will gladly eat the cost and have made another appointment somewhere else. Owner is extremely rude and has no patience. You make a massage appointment to relax but the process is anything but that! You can't be late however you can't be early. You also can't call if you will be late..is this a military school or a spa? I understand that they want to be organized but it's overkill. The owner was also annoyed because it took one minute to get a response through text. If you are that busy, hire some more help to make appointments instead of being extremely unprofessional. You can't be that busy if you have time to respond with several paragraphs ranting. My grandmother messaged to make an appointment for me for my birthday and the owner was extremely rude to her. My grandmother is old and instead of being patient and kind, she berated her. I read all of the texts and I would recommend going somewhere where they are nice to the clients that are spending their hard earned money. I read some of the yelp reviews and they say the same thing. Rude owner. read more

The owner of whoever runs their booking system is completely nasty and rude. If you are not local do not waste your time with them! It's not always what you say but the tone in which you say it. I obviously misread but the nastiness after the fact was beyond. As you can see below I was nowhere near nasty or rude and their desire to prove a point and have the last word made it a horrible experience for me. BUYER BEWARE! You don't even want someone with this type of energy servicing you. No wonder they are groupon. Update: you aren't booked and busy if you have all the time in the world to argue with customers via text and yelp this lady is a raging lunatic! Just be quiet I see why you have a 2.9 rating. read more

I'll admit I was a little nervous about all the mixed reviews about this business and the owner but I found the very detailed instructions to be helpful and the booking process was straight to the point. She was very responsive. I love with chronic everyday pain and this was one of the best massages I've had, the pressure was perfect. We had great conversations and I'll definitely be back. read more

Wow! Not good at all! Thank you all for the honest reviews. Was about to buy a couples massage Clipp to this place but won't even bother. Crazy experiences! read more

The booking process is confusing, and not tied to her website. The booking I thought I had wasn't confirmed, and not actually booked. Chose a place easier to do business with. read more

Just as others have stated, she eas rude and unprofessional. She expected me to pay 25% in taxes and tip before even getting the massage. She told me I knew what to expect, bit when I shielded here the message I received that did not say I would pay 25% of the "regular" price of $120 instead of 25% of the Groupon price, she said to get the "F U C K" of my store in a very threatening manner. So I said that I'd be happy to do so. By the way, I was standing in her massage parlor when she spoke to me like that read more

My service was on time and straight to the point. It was my 1st time but definitely not my last. Neysa was amazing and the eucalyptus was the best idea in the world. The aroma and the soft music was a good vibe and made my experience a great one. read more

I have been to many massages and this was the worst experience ever I showed up early as I should 15 minutes and was told I should have came at the exact time schedule which leaves no time to fill out paperwork I was yelled and screamed at by the owner and when I told her I will report her to the Business bureau she threatened to call the police on me read more

She forces you to give a Tip for poor at minimum and mediocre at best customer service.

Will be going back. Great massage and conversation. Very professional. 10 out of 10 highly recommend.

OMG! what a wonderful massage! hands down one of the best hours of my life and I will be going back and I will be sending my daughter and my friends. could not have asked for a. better experience, would recommend for everyone! read more

I can't believe that I was treated so rudely at a place that I was supposed to be going to for relaxation! Booking was a hassel within it self. With constant threats of your appointment being canceled and you're not getting your money back becuse u didnt respond to several messages at a certain time was very strange to me. Once I got off the elevator I could hear NYESHA ANDERSON yelling and cursing about her last paying customers as I was walking to her door. Her instructions said to call once you are in the parking lot and I did and no one picked up. As I was walking up I sent her an email saying I called the number and no one picked up. I heard her inside cursing and saying I never called. I call again because her instructions says to call. When she answered I said I was here and she said to come up. (I was already up) She then opens the door and yells. No, no, no get away from my door go back to your car. You can't be here! I asked what's the problem? And she said the problem is you are standing here and you making it a safety issue for people who may be in the hallway or leaving. Then she said I gave you clear instructions. I told her that her instructions wasn't clear because you have several typos in it making it very hard to fully understand you. She started to yell again. I asked her could she please lower her voice she doesn't have to yell at me. She said I can yell as loud as I want. My friend had to step in and calm the situation. She lied and said her instructions said several things that it did not say and when we pulled it up to show her that her instructions did not say that. She refused to listen and continue to yell. Since we couldn't get our money back we decided to go along with the massage. I really didn't want to get it because I didn't want her negative energy and bad attitude to rub me. But we couldn't get a refund. We paid for a 1 hour couples massage with 2 add ons each. We spent 10 mins in the hallway going back and forth and another 10 mins going over her rules before we changed. WORST MASSAGE EVER! My friend asked for a heated pad as an add on. Instead of a heated pad massage, She placed a towel with heated bags placed on them on they back! I asked for hot stones as a add on and she only rubbed them on my back for 7 secs before putting them away. The back of my arm, hands, feet, and thighs, WAS NOT massaged at all on me or my ffriend and we did not recieve our 2nd add on. The appointment time was set for 12:30 after 20 mins of wasted time in the beginning she ends the massage at 1:23. We only received a 37 min poorly done massage! Nyesha Anderson took a relaxing experience and turned it into a horrible experience. I'll never return to carpe diem nor will I advise anyone to go there. Going to carpe diem and getting a massage by NYESHA ANDERSON was complete WAISTE of MONEY and TIME! I walked out of her place feeling horrible from the bad experience and ruder customer service. Noone should be greeted like that at a place a relaxation. read more

My experience at Carpe Diem never made it past text. It was the Wish version of a massage. I paid for a couple's massage, but upon payment, it was switched up a 90min massage and 20min steamroom. I reached out to the number to fix it and book. The customer service was horrible. Instead of correcting her mistake, I was verbally abused, my reading comprehension skills were questioned, and refused a refund by both Groupon and the Carpe Diem representative. Additionally, if you use Groupon, they only conduct business via text with condescending messages filled with emojis. Only customers who book directly through them are blessed with a phone appointment. The business representative referred to as a "f*cking moron." Last, I was threatened with a police report for harassment. Apparently, requesting a refund is grounds for harassment. Instead of using your hard earned funds on a text warrior who threatens to abuse and misuse the police by taking away their focus from those who experience actual emergencies, I suggest you spend your money on a real business with a real booking website. read more

I didn't respond to her booking confirmation in 15 minutes so she canceled the appointment. I complained that this wasn't a reasonable request and that I never got a text. She says I listed the wrong number (google auto-filled my number). Then she threated me with a police report for harassment if i contacted her again. Safe to say I won't be scheduling again. read more

This was a fantastic massage, very relaxing and melted away so much stress. Neysa listened to me and worked on the spots that I talked about and always checked to make sure the pressure level was just right. The location is very clean and professional. I will be going back again soon. I have found a new favorite therapist. read more

Had a great massage. Friendly and great conversation. Worked my back just like I requested. Will definitely return.
