I've not wanted to give my review on this place for the last 8-9 years…read more
Because, it has been MY hidden gem. But, I've been disappointed lately so I have to complain. I started with a guy. Didn't care. I now ask only for a female masseuse. Something about a woman knowing a womans aches.
Usually, I have someone by name. But lately, I am told to come in...thinking that who I asked for is working. I go in and I get someone else...that has no strength. A bait and switch of sorts lately too, "we only have man. This okay?" No. Not okay! The last three massages have been like this. Please! Please! Please! No more man. Only STRONG WOMAN, who cares.
When I get massaged by weak soft hands, like the "oil applier", then I literally get sick more, like vomit sick... as nothing has been moved around. All the toxins in the body just stay there. I'm getting ill just thinking about how useless a soft massage is. Water flushing will not help if nothing is moved around. I keep asking harder please, um harder please, but nothing gets harder. I usually feel slight shaking like the person cannot use any strength. I need wrestling moves! Strong hands and someone that knows "when" to use the elbow. Not uses "elbow only". And, then sometimes I get the "bone massager". My bones do not need massage, only muscle. My spine? Ouch, elbow! My shins/tibia, owchy no no no. Please try to know the body and muscles. 5-10 mins on the shoulders, neck, rotor cuffs, can ease months of stress. Scalp massage 2 mins, no more or you are just matting my hair. This hair creation sucks.
That is my complaint for the last 9-12 mos. It's sad that I have to go to other places now so I can get literal muscle melting relief.
I get massages so I can walk right, feel right, for mental and physical wellness. I dont come to waste time and waste money.
I'll circle back here n there just to see. But, there is no guarantees anymore for asking for anyone by name. And, the strength quality, is about 30%.
The last thing is I give pretty good tips to any person that serves me. To EXPECT a tip over 20% is beyond ridiculous. I've been looked at and asked, "that's it?". Excuse me?? $70.00 massage = 20% $14.00 tip. A 25% = 17.50, A 30% tip = $21.00 A 40% tip = 28.00. I give $30 tips here. And the lady acts like its not enough. AND, if the massage sucked, I give $20, because they still worked and I'm sorry I am not giving tip for poor work. NEVER EXPECT! I'm am never and will never be obligated to leave a high tip if I dont want to and dont make me feel like crap if I dont give YOUR standard of tipping.
That's all I got.
