I ended up cutting back my hour to 30 minutes. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Then came tje oil. Ugh. The roughest hands I've ever had during a massage. Im so sad. I waa looking forward to it for so long!

I was so relaxed during the massage that all of the tabs in my head got quiet. My husband said he couldn't remember the first part of the massage because he practically melted. They gave a nice scalp and face massage to finish off the experience, and we really enjoyed the hand and foot massage as well. Staff was professional and asked how we were doing, and there was hot tea at the end as well. For the price (including tip), it was such a great deal for two people. We are planning to come back regularly for their services.
