I rolled in on my walker at 9:15 this morning. I'm a young disabled veteran, I suffer from chronic…read morepain and was looking for relief. I was greeted at the front by a lady, nice enough, she asked for the payment upfront for one hour, I said ok and paid. I am used to being able to choose my level of undress for a massage, when she came back in, she made me strip. I asked if I could at least keep my underwear on, she told me to take it off. I said ok and relented, she had my money anyways. Normal enough massage, nothing special, she did have a phone call that she took briefly in the middle of the massage. It ended and I gathered what remaining cash I had, which amounted to $7, 10% of the total. Admittedly, this isn't my normal 20%. She argued with me that the standard tip is 30% and everyone knows that. I told her that I paid the agreed upon price up front and that tips are NOT mandatory and definitely not 30%. She was irrational, loud and rude, and I stopped her mid-sentence and said I will not seek future services here, have a good day, and opened the door and ambled back out onto Moody St. with my walker. Horrendous, bizarre experience, wouldn't recommend.

I had a one-hour massage with Emma, and it was the best massage I've ever had. Because of my work,…read moreI get massages often and I'm very particular about them--Emma absolutely nailed it. I usually pay ridiculous amounts for massages and was hesitant to come here because of the price range, but I'm so glad I did. Emma did an excellent job, and the experience exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to come back.

Have been going here for a while with generally good massages , but today's experience , my first…read moreafter their price hike recently , was certainly a bit off putting and galling. The price hike is NOT my problem , but is relevant as you'll see in a minute. I had a 1 hour /$50 massage and tipped $16-17 .. this came to $70 total with cc fees . I got confronted uncomfortably after about "did I not like the service? , and I could get someone else next time , because you usually tip me $20+!" . 1) I do not understand how a 32% tip of $17 isn't enough to hold your tongue, even if it was less than my usual tip of $20. Accept it is wha it is and move on. Confronting a customer on a tip is straight up rude. 2) I rounded up to a total cost of $70 or so , and because of the pricing increase I didn't notice initially, I guess I didn't give my "regular" expected tip as part of the total. 3) the suggested tip at the time very clearly posted (a little awkwardly too ..) was $14 .. which I was clearly above. I wasn't even at the bottom of the minimum expectation. Complaining about a tip from a reliable repeat customer who's never been cheap, what the heck? I would've said this place was 4-5 stars outside of this experience but I found this whole thing very frustrating and rather ruined my day. If I could, I'd go back and drop the tip for that behavior entirely.

Amy is a true professional and a good pleasant person as well. I doubt Amy ever has a bad day. She's always on the upswing. Happier than anyone I have ever met. Her massage skills are good and she uses the time wisely. I usually find an hour plenty of time to get my back in shape and my shoulders and arms functioning they way they should. Even though an hour is enough for the massage to work, I always find myself extending to 90 minutes when Amy is my masseuse. Amy gives a very relaxing massage.
