I bought a Groupon for three 60 min massages. The masseuses are great and very professional. The owner, Caroline, however could use some classes in etiquette. She is nice, but can be very abrasive at times. I think it might be more of a cultural difference, than her intentionally being rude. I've had four massages at the location. 3 of the 4 massages I could hear Caroline's voice or conversations with other's during the massage. A spa/massage business is supposed to be quiet and relaxing, but this place is not the case. The owner is so LOUD that it really does ruin the massage experience. And the poor employees know she is loud, but can't really say anything because she is the boss. The Groupon was such a good deal and the massages were great, so I just dealt with the noise level.
The final straw was when I received a call about an hour after my last massage from Caroline, who began to question what kind of car I drove. She then preceded to explain that a woman who works in the strip mall believes I dinged her car, since I parked next to her. She then asked if I wanted to speak to the lady to which I replied, "No, not really, because I didn't hit anyone's car." She gives the lady the phone ANYWAYS! I was forced to talk to some lunatic who felt since I was parked close to her car, then it must have been me that put a ding in her door. Seriously. I explained that I did not hit her car and that I'm sure I'm not the ONLY person who parked in that spot during her 8-10 hour work day!!!!
After speaking with the lady, I then explained to Caroline that I did not appreciate the call. And that it really wasn't her place to call clients and try to accuse them of hitting people's cars. And if it were an issue, the police should have been called, and then THEY should have called me. Or if the client must be called, you do it in private and ASK if they would like to speak to the accuser and offer their number to call. Then it will be my decision whether I want to be bothered on my personal time. You don't ambush paying customers with foolishness and accusations. I was so insulted at the audacity of the owner and disgusted with the whole situation. I told Caroline to never call me again, unless it had something to do with a MASSAGE!!!
Interestingly enough, Caroline explained there were 10 other people who parked in that SAME spot...so I told her to make sure she calls all ten and harass them with accusations of dinging/scratching/whatever someone's car. Needless to say, I will never go back to that place again! I would rather pay a little more for professionalism. read more
