While visiting Alexandria, I spent time searching online through a dozen local massage businesses…read morebefore deciding on Emerald Massage Center at 3335 Duke Street. I was specifically looking for skilled Licensed Massage Therapists, and their setup looked promising. I booked a 75-minute therapeutic session with Tatiana and it was far beyond "good." It was easily one of the best and most effective massages I've ever had! As someone who is knowledgeable about proper technique and tends to be quite critical, I was thoroughly impressed. Tatiana is simply amazing, and my only regret was not booking a full two hours! Tip for first-timers: The building is set back from Duke Street and isn't directly visible from the road, so give yourself a few extra minutes to find it. It is well worth checking out, and I will definitely be booking a 2-hour session with Tatiana on my next visit.

I said yes then she asked for my card while I was still getting dressed and asked how much. I was about to give her a 20% tip...then she insisted in getting a 35% tip. It was already rude to ask to be tipped let alone asking for more. I asked for my card back and gave her 20% as I initially said. It killed the whole vibe and now when it comes to this place I will mainly remember about this incident at the end rather than the massage itself. That will be my first and last time.

As someone who suffers from chronic neck pain, I really need someone who can get in the muscle deep. So when I say I need a deep tissue massage, I mean I need DEEP. Most of the time, I have to direct my masseuse what to focus on and what I need in terms of pressure and most of the time they listen. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. I was paired up with a female masseuse who was sweet enough in manner but didn't seem to speak much English so when I asked her to only focus on my neck or when I kept asking for deeper pressure, she was respond in agreement but then would proceed to continue doing what I asked her not to do. I specifically asked her to only focus on my upper back/neck area and not to do my whole body. She did work on my upper area but then proceeded to do the rest of my body when I asked her not to. I know they are trained to do full body massages but the purpose of getting a massage for a lot folks is to get some relief from pain or tight muscles with specific attention to problem areas. If I'm going to pay an inordinate amount of money for an hour massage, I'd rather not have it wasted on parts of my body I don't need worked on. Needless to say, I realized I can't get what I really need here, so while I appreciated the good service overall, I will continue my journey for a great masseuse elsewhere.

From the moment I walked in, the staff make me feel welcome and comfortable. The ambiance is clean and calming, with some hot tea available in the lobby.

After each session, my skin feels soft and hydrated. I always leave feeling pampered and glowing!

From the moment I walked in I KNEW this was going to be an amazing experience! First impression is always the welcome of the staff and the reception area. Both were immaculate! I was greeted with an enthusiastic welcome and an encouraging smile!! Loved that! After a very brief wait in the serene/relaxing reception area, I was led to the back. I was given an outfit to change into (you're fully clothed during the Thai massage) and it was soft and very comfortable! I had an "idea" of what a Thai massage was so I wasn't blindsided when I walked into the room and saw the pallet; that the massage was to take place on, on the floor. This type of massage doesn't take place on the typical massage table. The whole vibe of the room was a mix of a relaxing spa and HEAVEN! My therapist came into the room and the magic started!! While stretching my body, she found knots on my body that I didn't even know I had! She contorted my body in ways I didn't know it w could bend! She then got a walker and began walking on my back...my legs...my feet, my arms...my hands...you get it! The only place she didn't walk on was my head (they offer a separate massage especially for your head and I plan on checking it out as well)!! The head massage is called an "Indian head" massage . My body is usually riddled with constant pain (especially my hips and legs). Can you imagine my excitement when I got up from the floor and there was not a pain in my body to be found?!!! I got the massage on May 12th and to this day the pain has not returned (it is May 19th)!!! They close out the session with a wonderful cup of tea! *Ahhhhhh* I have now added this massage into my budget (I want this once a month for sure)!! I'll come back and update this review with the details of the massage for my head!!

During the session Melissa answered questions and we chatted casually throughout the entire process. I never thought I would say this, but it was a pleasant experience.

However, I had not treated myself to a massage in a very long time. Needless to say, it has been long overdue. After Kristin got working on me for a few minutes it was clear she knew her stuff.

Her demeanor is chill, she is confident in her abilities and you'll feel extremely relaxed in her presence. She will work out kinks and stretch out tension. I cannot wait to go back. I instantly fell comfortable here. Such a cozy establishment. Thank you, Kristin. You're amazing.
