It looked a little sketch on the outside, flanked by a take-out pizza place and a donut shop, but the true colors shine through once you step inside. The folks are very friendly and welcoming. Communications were clear. The massage was the best I've had in months. Truly. Very professional. Gauged the pressure according to my tolerance. Some stretching incorporated, which is really smart to mix in. Everyone should come here. You won't be disappointed.

I highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a place to get a massage. They are very good at scheduling you an appointment and getting you in ASAP. I called Friday afternoon to schedule an appointment, and they booked me an appointment literally within several hours on that same Friday night. How much better customer service can you ask for? Try this place out.

The staff say they would refund me for the extra 30 min. My masseuse is very inexperienced, she often forgets to do things, her movements are unnecessary thereby creating noise as she moved around, her massage are not replicate from left to right, her pressure points are very uneven, it felt like she is very inexperienced, I was reluctant to tip her at all. The establishment is a noise trap, any time someone open the front door (with it insane door bell) or talk the next room over, I can hear everything, ruining the whole relaxing experience. EDIT: Tina reached out to me to explain the situation with her staff, I have upgrade from 2 to 3 star after talking to her, although I understand her situation however it does not change my experience at the establishment, should I visit the shop again and receive better treatment, I will make sure to update the change.

If I could leave zero stars, I would. Booked a DEEP TISSUE massage as a birthday gift for my mom…read more She homeschools my 2 younger siblings, she is with them 24/7, and she doesn't usually get a break. This was supposed to be a relaxing hour for her. I booked her massage with Tina because she had great reviews! First, Tina rescheduled the time of my mom's massage the day of without calling first to confirm that the time worked for her. When my mom called to see if she could reschedule for a different week instead, she didn't answer and texted back saying they actually could take her at the original time she was scheduled. As frustrating as that was, my mom still went to the appointment where she was brought back and informed THEN that she was scheduled with a different masseuse rather than being notified when they texted her. A simple explanation that they could take my mom at her original scheduled time but with a different masseuse would have sufficed. Still, my mom stayed and got a massage from this male masseuse that she didn't get the name of, otherwise I would tell you to avoid him at all costs if you do decide to come here. Although she was scheduled for a DEEP TISSUE massage, my mom described the pressure of the massage equivalent to my six year old sister giving her a massage. Massages are supposed to be quiet and relaxing, and this masseuse spoke the ENTIRE TIME and spoke with his hands, so her massage in total was probably 30 minutes. I paid $90 for a relaxing deep tissue massage, and my mom received a 30-minute back rub. And instead of using a massage oil, they used a thick dollar-tree feeling lotion. My mom said the best part of it all was the warm towel he brought out to wipe the lotion off her. Already, this whole experience has been HORRIBLE, but then my mom comes out to Tina ringing up a regular she apparently kicked my mom's appointment for. When my mom goes up to the counter to check out, Tina tells her the appointment was already paid for (by me) but that a tip wasn't left. I by no means was going to tip someone before they did their job, let alone would I have wanted my mom to tip after such a terrible experience. My mom is uncomfortable with confrontation and after Tina pushed by mentioning no tip was left 4 different times, my mom explained she didn't have cash for a tip. Tina jumped to say they could use her credit card for her to leave a tip. To say im appalled at the lack of professionalism by this establishment is an understatement. Quite honestly, I would want a refund because it was that much of a waste of time and money. Please, if you're looking to get a massage, go ANYWHERE else.

They checked me in right away. The rooms were perfectly lit - not too bright yet not too dim. The music was soft and at the perfect level. My massage therapist gave me different options as far as the type of massage. I stated as long as it's not a deep tissue massage. I had that once & for three days - I was in so much pain that it felt like I'd been in a car accident. So, knowing that he chose a shiatsu massage. I stated I tend to carry my stress between my shoulders and neck. Plus I'm so ticklish everywhere else! Having told him this, he began my amazing massage. It was the best gift that I could possibly received. When my massage was over - I secretly wanted to move in! I plan to give my best friend a massage there as well.

I booked a 45min session & received an hr 45min session-- and Blaine still honored his price of 75$!!! (And he refuses to accept tips since he is the owner.) :-O Whaaaaaaat?!?!!!! Look, I don't know what dreamy alternate universe u live in if u can evennn thinkkk there's another masseuse around here that can possiblyyy be justified as a better value than Blaine & his business. Let's look at it rationally anyway: - U could book at a fancy fufu spa with a prettier atmosphere for double or triple the price-- and most likely your masseuse will have half or third of the experience as Blaine (he has 30+ years I believe). He knows like 30 different styles of massage and most places offer about 5. - I booked him in an instant on a Sunday. He has the best hours & availability in the area (7a-10p, 7 days a week plus holidays). If you're in town on short notice-- Blaine is your guy. - ONLY physical hands on massage is calculated into your time. Other places will start the clock when you're changing, explaining what your body needs, etc. Not here. Your time is YOUR time. ANND often they may go 10 minutes over just because (& we all secretly wish masseuses would get amnesia & forget the time & run over a few minutes- I can't be the only one). However, throw out the idea that he'll go an hour over on u. Heck, I don't even expect that from him in the future. He only went so long because I was an unusually challenging client. It took an hr & 20 min to "crack" my body, it'll probably take him 3 minutes to "crack" yours. Do your legs immediately seize up with cramps when someone rubs your shoulders? No?? Then you'll likely be blessed with an extra 10 min which is still amazing. Oh, I should add that he is Extremely professional & u will feel SAFE around him. He is Fantastic to communicate with, and he treats u like a man who has a wife/mother/daughter in mind & treats you with respect. If u still prefer a female, his wife is also available to book & I hear she is highly experienced too. Basically, it's a no brainer to try at least one massage here. All u have to do is make sure there's enough Blaine to go around. (Because if there's a time when I can't book him in an instant, u better believe I'm coming on here & taking this post down lol). Oh, & if u live in Nola, u can book him out there too once a month-- seriously this guy does everything! Thanks again Blaine, stay wonderful!! :-D
