Visited the Waukee location this time. I booked with Summer again but arrived too early so I…read morethought to check in and see if she was open. She wasn't but I was told I could go early with Jennifer and so glad I did. She is just as great as Summer was last time, maybe better. The room was comfortably warm, dimly lit and nice music level. I asked Jennifer if she massaged as hard as Summer for the deep tissue and she seemed reluctant but she was so strong and a real trooper. She hit all of my sore spots that caused me to come in with precision. I think I fell asleep three times. The stretching at the end got my back popped a few times and my neck once though that was not on purpose. I am glad to have tried Jennifer and am looking forward to trying a different one next time. So, as of now, Jennifer and Summer are excellent choices to book for deep tissue.

Halfway through the massage, the therapist demanded for a $30 tip. I offered $10.00 instead. She took my tip, and then became verbally abusive. She informed me that she would do no more massage till my time was over. She told me that people like me should not come again because I could only tip ten dollars. She continued to shell at and verbally abuse me. I told her that I would rather leave. She yelled, " Good! Don't come again!" On my way out, another offered water. I decline, fearing for my life. Avoid like a plague. At best, it is a "bet and switch" establishment. This my my first and last visit!​

I would say if you need deep tissue work, book her fast because I have a feeling her time slots will fill up quickly. Thanks Ellie, you have helped me greatly!

I wrote this review on Birdeye but wanted to share it here because more people use Yelp…read more Lisa was the one who gave me a massage and did incredible! I didn't have an appointment and was accepted as a walk-in with no wait. She was very accommodating: offered to turn on the space heater, if I wanted massage oil, how much pressure I wanted. She checked in with me a few times throughout the massage to ensure I was comfortable. What stood out to me was that Lisa added some stretches for my upper back and neck. I felt really limber and relaxed. Would highly recommend and will for sure return monthly for a massage!
