I walked out of the studio feeling so light and like a brand new person. Esther was kind, intuitive in her work, and regularly checked in throughout the massage. Everything she did helped so much.

She seemed to really read my body and know exactly when to back off of pressure. It was a new experience for me for someone walking on my back which I greatly enjoyed. Also, the hot stones were really a treat and she did a great job communicating and asking if it was too hot. As a healthcare provider, I do wish that there was more communication ahead of the massage. She did ask if it was ok to walk on me, but typically with other massage places I have been to (which is many), they discuss health history/injuries and any specific areas I wish to have/not have worked on. After, they provided tea and snacks which was a nice touch.

This place has potential to be 5 stars. Very clean, primary gal [owner?] was very nice [not curt…read moreas some have been] but did not appear to speak much English. Price was in-line with what we pay for our memberships at Massage Envy- $45/hour. So this is not a super cheap massage. Experience: After a physically and mentally stressful day, my husband and I wondered if we could find a late-night massage while we were finishing dinner at a restaurant. It was 8:40 and Peking listed as open 'till 10pm. I called and gal said to come at 9:30 for 2 people. We arrived at 9:25 and were shown to separate rooms. I undressed but the gal walked in without knocking before I was on the table - Awkward as I was completely nude! I'm not overly shy, but some people would have been mortified. She handed me a mini water and said "5 minutes" and left. She put on nice music and I was relaxed. After 10 minutes I got up to get my watch - after 15 minutes I began to get pretty agitated. By 10:00 I was considering how exhausted my husband was, having been up since 4am that morning and started contemplating just forgoing my massage so he wouldn't be waiting for a half hour with me starting a half hour late. At 10:05 I got up and dressed [locking the door this time] and then went downstairs to the waiting room to wait for my husband. At 10:15 a gal came in. The front door latch needs adjustment so she kept slamming it and then it would open and ring the door buzzer... 8 to 10 times; Really? The main gal [massaging my husband] barged out, obviously frustrated, and slammed the door hard and it stayed. Then she pointed to me and said "massage". I attempted to explain that it was too late, but she just kept saying "so sorry, half hour" multiple times. My earlier suspicion that she had called someone in for 9:30 was confirmed, but she didn't show until 10:15. I asked her when my husband would be done... she said "half hour". She persisted 3 times, so I went with it, figuring she would time his massage ending with mine since he had a few interuptions. Back upstairs to disrobe, my massage gal knocked, I said "one moment" while taking my jewelry back off... yep, barged right in, caught standing naked Again! Sorry, sorry, sorry - she has that word down pat. Massage starts out good - music stops in the first few minutes and it becomes apparent that there's road noise. "Can you turn the music back on Please?" She points to the lamp, ?, she can't figure out what I'm asking. I look and see the CD player - she points to it and says "? No" she doesn't know how to work it, "sorry, sorry". I'm not getting up nude, again, although I considered it after a few more minutes of road noise. Massage was good, her phone buzzes and she answers it and has a several minute conversation while massaging me with one hand... Really! She finished at 10:55 so almost 30 minutes. I got dressed and my husband was waiting, smiling and tired, in the waiting room. Main gal, "$45 for hour, pointing to my husband, $35 for half hour pointing to me." I started with "well... half of the time, when I was supposed to get a full hour, should be half of the price." I could tell it was futile when she just kept saying $35 and saying $80 total. I said "fine, but that will include your tip." She processed the $80 credit card [I wish I had cash so she couldn't add a tip later] and I signed it for $80. She looked at it and then me and said "No Tip?" I looked at her in disbelief and said "next time, when I get my full hour." She jabbered with the other gal, and they both shot frustrated views my way - leaving my husband and I both feeling a little uncomfortable. So, my recommendation - this place is clean, the 2 gals we met were nice and gave pretty good massages, but best to stay within more normal business hours. I suspect much of what we experienced that was negative was due to the late hour.
