I purchased a 90-minute massage, the guy sitting at the counter tried to upsell me to a Tai for $20…read moremore. I said no I wanted a soft relaxing massage. He was also cracking open sunflower seeds and eating them at the front desk.
My massage started and the girl asks do I want regular oil or coconut oil. I asked the difference, she says the coconut is more, more upselling, I said the regular please.
She proceeds to give me a massage with one hand, then started using her elbow and forearm. I asked her to please just use her hands that what she was doing hurt. Then she climbs on top of me--yes she is straddling me, I'm confused but don't say anything. Then she says can I use my knees on you? I said no thanks, just the "hands" please. She maybe had two hands on my for 5-minutes, the rest of the time she used one hand and continued to use her forearm.
At this point I'm really wishing I was anywhere but there. The one place I said I'm hurting was my neck, she rubbed my neck, with one hand, for about 2-minutes.
Oh and she kept pulling the tiny sheet down past my butt, I'm fully exposed. I don't think that's to health code. And when my head was in the face hole, which was covered with a regular paper towel, something down there smelled stale. I kept moving my face from side to side to get away from it. She also asks me at some point did I want hot stones, I said I don't think that's part of what I bought, she said yes it's Extra--more upselling. I said no thank you.
The whole thing was just bizarre! It has to be the worst nonmassage massage I've ever received. I will also say yes she indeed had two hands, just refused to use them. Even though the whole thing wasn't a total 90-minutes, I didn't care I wanted to pay and leave.
I go to check out, the guy is still sitting there cracking open sunflower seeds. There's a pile of shells sitting on the counter (kinda gross). There was an ATM machine there he wanted me to use, I said no thanks I'll use my card and he says he has to charge me 3%. I'm like ok cool your eating into the small gratuitous tip I was planning to leave, only out of courtesy, not because I enjoyed my massage. Mind you the girl is standing there right beside me staring at me the entire time. He asks what tip, I say $10, and she immediately huffed off.
I was not asked did I enjoy my massage. Obviously I didn't as I kept telling the girl she was hurting me, stop digging your arm in me, etc.
Needless to say I will never go back, I was so stressed and hurting when I left. It was completely unprofessional.
