The interior here is cute and the music is tranquil, and my massage therapist did a good job at loosening up my knots.

The person at the front desk,…read moreYuni, greeted me warmly and walked me down the hallway to one of the private rooms for my scheduled one-hour hot stone massage. My masseuse, Mia, was wonderful. I really appreciated that she asked about my massage preference beforehand--whether I preferred light pressure, deep tissue, etc. She did an excellent job working out the kinks and knots in my back and neck. Whenever the pressure felt a little too strong, I let her know and she adjusted right away. Although the massage rooms are private, the walls don't go all the way up to the ceiling--they function more like dividers--so you may hear someone in the next room. Personally, I didn't mind because the relaxing zen background music helped mute most of the noise. Mia is such a sweet person and an excellent masseuse. I truly enjoyed my massage and plan on returning. I would definitely recommend her!

The staff goes by numbers and number 5 is the person I prefer to go to as he is strong, thorough, hits all the painful knots I have, and very kind. Asian massages are different from Americans. American massage places focus on technique but after you leave, few hours later your still sore as if they never really get rid of the knots and ease tensions. Here, if you can take pain they will help rid of any tensions or build up you might have on your body . You might feel sore after but my body feels really loose and good for next few days. People complaining about pain but you can always ask to them to be more gentle, why take the massage for an hour and then complain it's too hard afterwards. As for tip complaints, when I go out to eat at places and spend 150$ on a dinner or so on a good dinner you still tip 20% just for waiters to bring out food you ordered, mean while massage places put a straight hour of effort and require a lot of energy to perform the massage should get more then waiter. I tip my barber 20$ for a cut they already get paid to do to show appreciation. Its not the same as restaurant, 20% of 40$ massage is $8, how you tipping $8 for hard work vs someone pouring water and bringing out food you ordered out. If you don't got 15-20$ to tip hard working people for their work just stay home with your tense body. Absolutely recommend if you have tense shoulders, neck, back or feet pain , this is my favorite spot. * After coming here few times booking #5 and got to know the guy, some of these 1 star reviews are from competitors since he was highly recommended from previous places he worked at, stay salty.

If you're looking for a good deep tissue/body beating then this is the place to go. For the price of $40 for an hour (not including tip) don't expect like the high end spa massages by professional.

The lady taking my appointment forgot to mentioned this to my masseuse and apologized for her oversight, however, I'm very seasoned when it comes to getting massages so I understand it's also my responsibility to speak up if I wanted more pressure - to which I did. In terms of the actual massage, it felt more like a rub with lots and lots and lotssssssss of oil, so much that I asked for a towel when she was done cause I was THAT oily. She focused mainly on my shoulders/upper back and went over this same area, completely missing my lower back, buttocks, thighs and calves. Well, this isn't completely accurate - to be fair, she rubbed oil in these areas. I expected to leave the establishment feeling relaxed and less tense but I left feeling the same. I was asked by the lady taking my appointment for feedback, which I gladly gave and was asked to come back and try a different masseuse in my next visit. I understand this is common business language to get customers to return, but I can't help but express that there should be standardized techniques - what if I come back and don't like the technique of the new masseuse? Will you ask me to come back to try a third masseuse? I understand if the client asks you to focus on specific areas (to which I did not, hence the importance of a standardized technique), but how was I supposed to know while making the appointment that she was only going to spend 90 mins on my shoulders and rub oil on the rest of my body? More importantly, how do you guarantee *consistency* for customer retention? Anyway, this review isn't specific to the masseuse which is why I haven't mentioned her name - I'm sure she's amazing in her own ways and requested by clients who prefer gentle rubs. I was really excited about this second location as it's much closer to home, however, I expected better customer service as I left feeling like I was out of $80+tip. I'm happy to pay as long as I receive the service in which I paid for. For context, I asked for partial comp service for my next visit, which to be fair, makes sense since she did not massage (only rubbed) my lower back, buttocks, thighs and calves. The lady taking appointments mentioned she would talk to the owner and get back to me "tomorrow", but it's been 5 days and I'm still waiting to hear back.......

I asked for the masseuse to focus on my neck and shoulders, which he did. I could feel the pressure points of where the tension I was carrying in my shoulders and neck being massaged away.
