I will say the place overall feels pretty scammy. They make you pay AND tip before the service even happens, and are pretty rude and pushy about it. For example, before the service I requested she charge $95 on my card ($80 massage + $15 tip) and she told me tip needs to be $20. She didn't back down when I tried to fight it, so I let it go because I didn't want to get bad service. Then, she tried to charge $105 without telling me, and when I saw her typing that in the machine and questioned her she told me it covered the credit card transaction fee (and then decreased it to $103). I understand needing to charge beforehand so people don't just dip out after, however I would prefer tipping after the service so I can choose an appropriate amount? Wild. On top of all that, there was somebody else's hair on the massage table when I laid down and a giant spider on the wall... overall would not recommend this place even though it's cheaper than others in the area.

With all the other spas in the city to choose from. Umm sorry-- you want to reschedule after we were already here, on time! What an asshole! So no, we won't be wasting any more time with you, We have plans today.. the plan was to visit you at 10 am, be done at 11 and carry on our day, I don't have time to waste my life all day walking to your business, hoping you might show up to work today. I'm really pissed off you messed up our whole schedule, not to mention waste of time walking all the way here. You are a terrible business. Wasted my time and energy!!!! Seriously horrible! One more thing... if you were going to be late, or cancel or needed to postpone to 11... BE A PROFFESSIONAL, and CALL ME before I trekked all that way out to see you... some people can't be walking blocks and blocks to experience a massage and then the masseuse doesn't show up.

She is skilled at what she does. She will ask you the level of strength that you want. Since this was my first time I said strong. When she began it felt like an extremely deep tissue massage. I could not handle it. I had to say something a few times. But it's good to know that they do go deep and intense. Ada listened and made sure to be light and gentle but still having some force. The hot stone part was decent I do wish that I got more stones put on me. This was the perfect birthday gift! The price for hot stones and the massage was $90. The hour goes by quickly. At the end of my session I felt so relaxed. My voice changed sounding zen like. Next time I go I will be getting 90 minutes. There's paid street parking only. When you get there, ring the bell when you get to the front door they will buzz you in. This place is highly secure. Even the bathroom has its own key. When you come in I do highly recommend you use the bathroom before laying down for your massage. you will be extremely relaxed and don't want to mess it up. I can't wait to go again! Next time I go I will be booking 90 minutes.

I searched Google and Yelp for places offering full-body massages and Lang ocean Spa Chicago looked like a legitimate place to try. One of the best deep tissue massages I've ever had.

She even uses her entire body to deliver a deep effective stretches. Despite her small frame, she can lift you up and stretch your whole body. It's impressive. I felt great after. Her accent can be a little challenging, but her technique speaks for itself. I was able to get a walk-in appointment and paid cash, but I recommend booking ahead. especially during Chicago Marathon weekend. If you're a runner or athlete looking for a serious deep tissue massage. ask for Ne-ne. Highly recommended!
