"Don't judge a book by its cover" From the outside, this place doesn't appear to look fancy and it…read morelooks pretty bare and sparse. But based on the massages I have been getting there for years this place is amazing. The couple that works here doesnt speak too much English but honestly who cares! their incredible massages deliver. The chair massage is a must and their hot stone massage at the end melts your stress away from the day. They also give great leg massages as well on their comfy couches. Im giving 4 stars because one of the beds(the bed on the left) was a little too hard but the other one is pretty comfortable:) I've gotten massages that were too intense that had left me too sore the next day and ones that have been too light that didn't take away the knots in my back. This couple gives massages that are the perfect intensity. I've also gone to much more expensive places that have been good but this place I continually go back to cause it's the best!

I have chronic back pain and a deteriorating disk. A good masseuse is very important to me. I…read morelove this place because if you go there enough times they remember your hell and actively look for parts of you that are effected by them. Many times I have gone there and learned what I need to do to help myself. Also for the record, I am Asian and a masseuse in a shopping plaza is normal in Asia but a family business where they remember you is never common.

Update: My gel manicure lasted just seven days. They usually stay flawless for 3 weeks and if I'm…read morecareful I can get another week out of a gel. On day seven the edges started to lift on 8 out of ten nails. For $51 (gel mani and a pedicure) I expect more. Instruments are cleaned. After each client the technicians spray with a cleaner and then put them in an oven-like looking contraption with uv lights. The gel mani was good, not great. The pedicure ok. It's a mall, so it's what was excepted. The real surprise of the day was the Body Spa Massage. It beat the Hadley Elements spa (not Amherst) by miles!

Not sure I'll continue, since the last one left me with cuts on the back of my heel and leg from the tech not paying attention while using the pumice stone. My toes also have polish on them, not just the nail. Sloppy job, and I'm disappointed. 10/15/2011 I keep going back to Fancy Nails because they offer great service, and are less than the other nail salons in the area. Ask for Dee. She does great shellac nails (mine lasted over 2 weeks with only one small chip on a corner), and she also uses a Dremel to file away calluses on heels and feet for pedicures.

Tried several places back home in CA which we have so many. But no one was really able to pin-point and to release the spasms. At Oriental, she really knew how to press and to stretch certain muscles! It was really really good! I will come back again when in Northampton. Clean facility and ample parking. 5 starts all the way!
