Let's start with the pros:
1. Getting a massage here is the only thing that can truly make you appreciate all the other massages you've had in your life, and how good they were.
Okay, that's it.
By far the worst masseuse I have ever been to. We might actually have to address all the problems of this place individually:
1. The masseuse herself: RUDE. Unbelievably rude, judgmental, and unprofessional. She grilled me about my medical history, making her own diagnoses about my health and proudly offering up suggestions about conditions that I had neither reported nor do I suffer from. She then informed me that she would be discussing said conditions with one of my family members who was also scheduled to see her at a later date to see what my family member thought about them. I did not appreciate a masseuse attempting giving me a once-over and attempting to assign medical problems to me, and I CERTAINLY don't think it's appropriate for her to voluntarily state that she will be violating client privacy to DISCUSS those medical problems with a third party.
2. The massage: Awful. The most lackluster, pathetic attempt at a "massage" I've ever experienced in my life. I'm not being bitter here... Ask your spouse or a friend to give you a quick shoulder rub; they're likely to do a better job and apply more pressure than this fraud of a woman. I explicitly told her I was coming in due to shoulder and neck stiffness from desk work, yet at no point in time did she focus on any particular muscle group. Instead she simply rubbed lightly on one spot on my back over and over with her fingers, applying absolutely NO pressure whatsoever. It was truly dismal. Never in my life have I been given a massage by someone so obviously under-qualified. If she has any sort of degree, the institution that gave it to her should be ashamed.
2. b.) The massage (cont!): It is also worth noting that I paid for a sixty minute massage. She spent the first ten minutes of those 60 minutes telling me what was wrong with my health (see topic 1). She then gave her disgustingly poor excuse for a massage for approximately twenty minutes. I never rolled over, and all she did was lightly rub the exact same spot on my back. After twenty minutes, she stopped and stated that she was out of oil (???) and sat down in the corner to "refill her oil". She then said that for someone with health issues such as mine (again, the health issues she MADE UP and which I do not suffer from), she would need "much more time" to work with me and that she couldn't continue. I was dressed and out to my car before my 60 minutes were even up. HUGE waste of money and scam. Pay for 60 minutes, get 20, if you're lucky. But don't expect 20 minutes of quality work or therapy.
3. Hygiene: I pulled back the sheet of her little massage bed to see the fabric was covered with hair from previous clients. The sheets were damp. I'm positive they were not changed from the client before me. The massage "oil" she used (that she suddenly needed to refill in the middle of my massage, for some reason) was a white, lard-looking substance that came from a huge, white, industrial-grade bucket of what looked like some sort of cooking oil. MAYBE it was an extremely cheap brand of coconut oil, but it certainly didn't smell like it. I felt disgustingly greasy when I got home and took a shower immediately.
4. The office: Parking lot so full of massive pot holes that I was sure I'd messed up a tire just driving in. The "office" is literally just one room with a bed and a chair and a door that leads in from a PUBLIC hallway. I was very uncomfortable the entire time that someone from an entirely different business could simply walk into the room at any given moment. Not a comfortable or relaxed environment whatsoever.
This place doesn't even deserve one star. I wish I could give it 0/5. I believe in giving businesses the benefit of the doubt and taking reviews with a grain of salt, but I wish I had read the reviews on this horrible woman before wasting my money. At the very least, reading the reviews here and on Google+ has consoled me that it wasn't just me; the masseuse didn't have some personal vendetta against me and she didn't give me a horrible service just because she didn't like me... She's just a genuinely terrible person. Buyer beware. read more
