Like so many other folks, I booked online, which was super easy. I didn't bother looking at her…read morereviews, though, before I bought the Groupon. I should have. I couldn't wait. What could be better than a deep tissue massage AND a foot scrub? I planned my whole day around the soonest appointment I could get. I blocked off my own schedule, so I would have no clients today. It was going to be a self-care day. I rushed home from a nice lunch with a friend to plan how I was going to get there. I do not own a car, you see, so I take car2go during the week and rent a car on the weekends. You can't drop a car2go in Roseville, so I had to take the bus from Saint Paul. A 20-minute bus ride, with about 10-minute bike ride in below-freezing weather. All to get to my massage appointment I was so eagerly anticipating. By the time I arrived my fingers were numb and my face was red from the cold. I was SO looking forward to the warmth of a cozy massage table. And on the door, I see a sign (among a bunch of other, unprofessional, handwritten notes taped to the door) that said they had closed early today. I wish I had taken a photo. I never received even so much as a cancellation notice -- or a phone call. I really hate to write a one-star review for a small business, but eff you, Rapha Therapy. A very fundamental part of being a professional is actually showing up for your appointments. I understand life throws occasional curve balls, but if you need to "close early" on a consistent basis -- and since so many people have reviewed that you do, it looks like this is a pattern -- you should probably NOT be doing this work. NOTE: I didn't see inside, but the handwritten notes taped all over the front door screamed "this is a dump" to me. Not a place i would want to get a massage, since the scribbled notes all over the door makes me question not only her ethics, but her sanitary standards too.

I bought a Groupon for a 90-minute massage and 15-minute foot scrub. When I arrived, the therapist…read morewas a bit curt, and wasn't ready (I waited while she tried to print paperwork that she wanted me to fill out). They have signs posted in the office stating that Groupon made an error, and that the foot-scrub is included in the massage time, not an "and" like advertised. I was surprised, but the price was cheap enough I didn't argue it. The music in the massage room was upbeat classical, not very relaxing. The massage itself wasn't amazing, wasn't awful, just average. Except that we ended after 65 minutes. Not cool.

She is so sweet to work with and definitely knew what she was doing. She was able to hit all of the parts that hurt. She also found spots that I didn't realize needed fixing. When there was a spot that needed work, she took her time to work out the knots. She also did some stretches with me to help release tension. She is also VERY strong! Pressure was always perfect! Her massage studio is very clean and cozy. I was very relaxed the whole entire time. Zoua is very professional to work with. 10/10 I would highly recommend!! I can't wait to come back to see her again!

I've visited this salon a few times, but none of the sessions left me fully satisfied. Despite…read morehaving different massage therapists, the overall feeling was the same -- a lack of professional depth and attentiveness to the client's needs. Key takeaways: * Inconsistent technique -- sometimes too soft, other times abrupt pressure on sore areas * Lack of energy and genuine care during the session * Odd personal remarks from the therapist that made me uncomfortable For a place with this pricing, I expected a higher level of service. Maybe others have had better luck -- my sister, for one, absolutely loves this place -- but my experience hasn't convinced me to return just yet. Still, I hope to stop by again next time I'm in town and see some improvements.

Anyways, the massage was actually good, my friend and I opted for the 90 minute full body massages which were pretty affordable for the length of time ($110). I actually fell asleep twice which is a good sign lol. The main issues I had were with the noise levels. Instead of it being soothing and quiet, the masseuses kept stopping to answer the phone during the massages (in the room) and were having constant conversations with each other (occasionally laughing). I don't think with all of the interruptions that it was actually a 90 minute massage, probably closer to 75 minutes. I think Zen could benefit from hiring a receptionist. While they apologized for all of the noise when we were leaving, it sounds like from other reviews this is pretty normal. Again, they gave a great massage, but it was a little chaotic in there!

However, when I booked my second massage a month later, they ended up rescheduling this 3-4 months later. They didn't even call me - I HAD TO CALL THEM to confirm the appointment that morning only to find it was cancelled. SO, I rescheduled it for September 27, 2016 (about 3 months later AGAIN). I called that morning to confirm, and they said their contract with Living Social was canceled... likely b/c they were flaky and unable to fulfill any appointments! So no massage for me 4-6 months after buying this initial Living Social coupon. Really frustrating - small businesses shouldn't offer Living Social and Groupon discounts if they CAN'T LIVE UP TO IT! Changed from a 5 star to a 1 star. BOO. PS The phone number on the website (651) 200-4302 is also disconnected - sounds like the business is going down...The number on Yelp 651 239-9667 still reaches someone, however.
