I need to leave a review that way no one makes the same mistake I did. I was looking for a professional and afforadable salon to go to but it was very last minute and I couldn't book an appointment anywhere. I wanted to go somewhere nearby so I looked up places online. This place sounded okay online and like they actually knew what they were doing, and although there weren't any reviews I decided to take my chances.
I walk in during July in late afternoon and there are absolutely no customers. Did I mention in July? Because there was no air conditioning what.so.ever. Not even a fan. The place was dimly lit, and I suspect not just for ambiance (to save money if you didn't catch on) - not a good sign. There were only two people working there, an asian couple. Even though I requested the asian woman as I am also a female and felt more comfortable that way, I was told I would get massaged by her and I still got the male. Whatever no big deal I can get over that. Then another customer comes in and the only other employee (the woman) works on that person. The phone rang about 5 times during my hour long massage and the guy massaging me actually left 5 different times to answer that phone... soo the opposite of professional that I was looking for. He massaged me over a damp and sketchy feeling towel he placed over my skin (kinda awkward), and the whole time I tried to be open minded and to relax while I heard dogs barking next door... the place is next to a dog kennel. Whatever. Point is I'm not going back and I thought everyone else should be able to make an informed decision based off of my experience.
I will be fair though and tell you the few positives of the situation: The cost was low, $40. The guy who massaged me, though obviously not a professional, he did manage to get a lot of my knots out and generally had my muscles relaxed near the end. It was no where near a professional massage of someone who knows what they are doing, if I had to describe it I would say he got a professional massage done somewhere else and is trying to mimick it. However, he does get a B for effort, assuming it was to the best of his ability. read more
