I went to Moon Spa last night for what was supposed to be a relaxing 90 minute massage as my "mamas night out"... And it is very disappointing to say that I had the WORST experience ever. The service, the massage, everything about it left me so unhappy. I woke up hurting more than I did when I walked into Moon Spa.
Let me start by saying that I am a recently new mama with a lot of injuries/specific areas of pain, so massages are a regular in my life. I know what to expect, and what makes the experience comfortable and relaxing. However, I am new to the area, saw the great reviews and went in excited with high hopes about this place! Unfortunately that was not what I experienced.
Upon walking in, no one introduced themselves to me, asked me if I needed anything, or made the experience welcoming. They did not have me fill out any forms on my injuries, past experiences, areas of pain, allergies, medications, etc. They did not talk to me about those either. In fact, barely any words were spoken to me at all. This is a NECESSARY practice to ensure the customers safety.
My massage "therapist" (I put that in quotes because I genuinely do not believe she was a trained professional) was VERY rough, aggressive and hasty. Nothing about this massage was relaxing. It felt as if she was rushing through the entire massage. I was wincing in pain the whole time from not only the pressure but her nails digging into me. I even had to ask her to be more gentle and slow multiple times, without success of a more relaxing experience. She used her elbows over my bones so hard that I woke up with bruising this morning. I will be going into my chiropractor today, as I can not straighten out my back or lift my leg past a certain point after this massage.
Aside from the physical discomfort of the massage, I left very unhappy with a few other "services". Their "hot oil" was cold after the first five minutes, the music was a 1 minute song on repeat for 90 minutes at a very loud volume and the room itself was cold. I also had to pull the blanket over my "personal areas" to cover them, as the massage therapist did not. It was very uncomfortable and unsettling to experience that. She also walked out of the room and left the door wide open multiple times, with me just laying naked on the bed.
Needless to say, this experience was the worst I have ever had. Unprofessional service, painful and uncomfortable massage, and no respect towards the customers privacy/needs. I am not one to write reviews, or walk away unhappy with many experiences. But if I can help people from walking into an experience like the one I had at Moon Spa, I need to share my experience. I would 100% never recommend anyone going here. read more
