How do I leave a review on the worst massage experience I've ever experienced in my 42 years of getting them, without sounding like a bitter customer?
Dana is very nice. Her massage room is inviting, the bed is super comfortable, the music was perfect, the space heater on a cold night was a nice touch, the linens were soft and clean..BUT the massage was bleh and very underwhelming for what I went in and asked for.
I filled out the questionnaire at the start where you have your consultation ( there really wasn't one-she never asked what I wanted for my massage ) so I wrote that I had severe tendinitis in my right shoulder, arm and hand. I also reiterated this when I laid down on the massage table and explained that I worked up to 20 hours a day at my computer. I waited the entire 90 minutes for Dana to work out the knots and inflammation on my neck, shoulder, and arm area but to my disappointment she never did any work other than relaxation strokes. Only light relaxation strokes were applied for the entire 90 minute massage to be honest. I kept hoping that she was just loosening me up and that she would begin to "massage" the area's I requested, but sadly that never happened.
At the end of the massage I after I dressed and met Dana in the office, I expressed to her my disappointment in the massage and that I was now going to have to spend another $135 dollars to get a massage elsewhere and have my pain relieved. She said "Yeah, you're right, I should have done that" "" I didn't really look at the paper" All I can do for you is charge you for a 60 minute or give you a 30 minute massage another time.
A massage is a very expensive luxury and something I work very hard to be able to afford. I am very disappointed and feel as though I should have been offered at least a return visit in the next 24-48 hours to get the massage I actually came in for. I did end up paying for a 60 minute massage at a cost of $91 and am now still in pain and out that money and the additional expense of having a different masseuse at a different place fix me up.
I am really bummed... read more
