I typically go to another Massage center in Appleton, but decided for the introductory price of $39.99 for an hour massage, i'd try Massage Envy.
I had a male therapist, which was a bit out of my comfort zone, but I was ultimately ok with it.
He seemed very educated when it came to the human body, he DEFINITELY liked to talk to me about his expertise.
I went in wanting a relaxing massage, apparently, he typically likes to do a deep tissue massage (he told me this numerous times) his pressure was fine, all in all I cant complain about the actual massage part at all, again just speaking pressure wise.
Like I said, I had told him I was there for a relaxing massage. I didn't expect him to talk to me the entire time.
I should have spoke up and asked him to not talk, I will admit to that. But after repeatedly saying "I am here for quiet relaxation, I assumed he'd know what that meant. He did not.
So talking and having to answer him took away from the quiet, relaxing experience I Was hoping for.
After it was all said and done, again the massage itself was good... So after awhile he completed and he left the room, I thought wow, that seemed to fly by (with massages, that tends to be the case, right? )
I looked at the white board where he made a note of the time he started and then glanced at the clock and noted the time he finished.
43 MINUTES.
NOT EVEN AN HOUR!
I was paying 39.99 for an introduction price for what the website, mailings, menu board, and appointment time said would be one hour.
60 minutes.
Not 43.
At this point in time, I was just annoyed and not at all relaxed.
I walked out to the front to pay, he met me up at the counter and told the reception lady
"we are really not a good fit for each other, so mark down *such and such name* as her future therapist"
Are you kidding me!?
I felt that was an absurd thing to say.
So again, being in no position (bad attitude wise) to address this in person, right then, I payed my bill.
And after them attempting to upsell me on their crappy membership, and bath salts and whatever else, I left.
A few days later:
They sent me an online survey.
I filled it out, just as I did this review.
The survey apologized for my unhappy experience and asked if i'd like the manager to contact me directly.
I said yes.
That was nearly two months ago.
Ugh, Clearly the manager is VERY busy, what with all the bath salts to sell and all.
Also, as a note.. Their regular priced hour massage is $80.
I will happily go back to my "normal place, massage connection on College avenue, where I will pay $60 for a FULL 60 minutes. read more
