Competent therapists, friendly and helpful front desk staff, but I won't be returning. I've been…read morehere twice, and both times had weird interactions from two different therapists. One seemed annoyed that I didn't practice yoga because "yoga is life" according to him. The other therapist lectured me about my tight muscles in my back, but didn't make any suggestions on how to try to rectify the problem. I'm receptive to feedback, but not to being lectured or spoken down to by people who I'm paying for a service.

I've had a ton of massages in Gainesville, and I must say Mark is the best there is. I have chronic…read moreshoulder pain so I always look for a therapist who specializes in deep tissue and sports injuries. After trying about five other therapists from around town who couldn't quite seem to go deep enough, I finally lucked up on Bowers. I told them my problem and Linda immediately suggested Mark. That was over a year ago and I haven't been more pleased. Mark is professional, courteous, and has been in the game for nearly 20 years, so his knowledge is vast. I always get immediate relief after visiting. Love it!

I have tried a lot of different massage places, and Angel Massage was one of (if not THE) best…read moremassage I've had. As an athlete, I am always asking for harder pressure and to work on problem areas, but most places do not deliver. At Angel Massage, James is very strong! I requested hard pressure and he did a fantastic job. The massage was still relaxing, and the calming music and massage oil scents were particularly inviting. The staff is super kind, and you feel very comfortable when you step through the door. I've tried some of the fancier spas in/outside of Gainesville, but none can massage as well as James at Angel!

I'm writing this review on behalf of my husband who has been to Ron twice now!…read more Previously, we previously went to Eric for our first few years at Compass Point. Eric moved away though and we needed to re-establish with someone which is when we found Ron! From the first few minutes getting acquainted and discussing the goals of massage, my husband and I knew we Ron was going to be awesome! I can't say enough wonderful things about his massage techniques, willingness to tailor massage to your individual needs, along with his continued compassionate nature to check-in for pressure and position comfort. He also has availability on the weekends and late afternoons/ evening which are HUGE perks for those who work traditional workdays. Pricing is more than reasonable for the services and quality he provides! If you are looking for a super massage therapist, please give him a try! I'm sure you will not be disappointed!

Ron is an absolute life saver! So thankful that Ron was able to squeeze me in last minute and give…read moreme some much needed relief from the tension/strain in my neck and back while studying for my final exams. The facility was clean and he was very professional. I will definitely be back!! I highly recommend Ron as he as a background in PT and knowledgeable about different massage techniques. He spent a few minutes in the beginning chatting with me about what was bothering me/what I wanted to focus on and we came up with a treatment plan.

I can only speak from my experience and I absolutely love Floating Lotus. I started going back in…read more2021 and before that I had only gotten one previous facial at an esthetician school. I don't normally get facials since I have a regular skin care regimen that I follow thanks to my primary care physician and dermatologist, but I do go for facials once a year and twice if I feel like I need extra care or just to pamper myself. So far the times I have gone I get the one that is tailored for my skin (lotus signature facial for 60 min) I am able to mention problems I currently have and Leah gives great recommendations. I don't trust anyone else with my skin. She is so knowledgeable and always able to recommend creams and face care products according to my concerns. Before she applies anything she explains what it's for. The massage in between is always relaxing and I always manage to go to get a nap in. I have not had an issue thus far and always leave refreshed. I cannot speak for massages or any other face procedures since I try not to do much to my skin and just limit to maintaining my skin texture and hydrating it as well as using products that will help me age gracefully and heal acne scars from past outbreaks. I always follow up with dermatologist about once or twice a year as well to track how my skin is doing. I have recommended this place to my mom and bf and they both have received facials courtesy of me since I love to treat them to a nice facial yearly as well.

I booked a 75 minute massage for 4:30 but wasn't called into the room until about 4:45, and the…read moremassage didn't start until 4:50. It ended around 5:50, so I didn't receive the full time I paid for. The location also wasn't ideal during the massage, I heard two loud car alarms and an ambulance right outside the window, which made it hard to relax. While the masseuse was kind, the massage itself wasn't what I was looking for. I booked a lymphatic drainage massage but received more of a light, general massage with little pressure or technique. Considering the price (plus the generous tip I left), I was really disappointed overall. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return.

The quality of the massages vary wildly depending on who is performing them. During a recent massage, the therapist, Dorothy, farted audibly for at least the first ten minutes which was really rude and off putting. Additionally the therapists do not wear shoes. Given that clients are wearing footwear and coming and going to and from the parking lot, lobby, restrooms and the massage rooms, this gave me serious ick as the therapists must have seriously dirty feet by the end of the day. Not planning on going back.

I've been coming to A Better Massage for a while now and feel that the four different massage…read moretherapists I've seen have all done a wonderful job. The therapists have always been on time, had the room cleanly prepared, and discussed what areas have been causing me discomfort before the massage. When I first started coming here it was for deep tissue work (years of desk slouching = pain in the neck). When getting the work done you are able to let the therapist know how if you need more or less pressure. I recently had some surgery and I've had massages that really helped reduce my post surgical pain. If you're looking for a place that can focus on therapeutic massages this is the place I'd recommend.
