My girlfriend and I purchased a groupon for an $84 couples massage at the 505 Hicksville Rd location. I called a week ahead to be sure there was availability and schedule, and the woman stated the Groupon price would be honored. I purchased the groupon and paid with my credit card.
When I arrived, there was no one at the counter. When she came out, she insisted I owed $84 cash before bringing us back, despite showing her my Groupon voucher. I tried to show that I had paid via Groupon and asked for the wifi password to show her, but she just called the owner on the phone who I scheduled with, and the woman stated the payment was due. I was unsure of it, but couldn't check my bank statement on Chase app without wifi. I paid the $84 and we went back.
The room was very small and the woman brought us back without giving us any instruction. She came back and told us to undress. We did so and got on the small tables under a small sheet and paper sheet to try to not be exposed. When she came back in (before my girlfriend was even fully on the table, she told us to get out from under the sheet, pulling my girlfriend up leaving us both exposed. This was my girlfriend's first massage experience and we were both very uncomfortable. The room didn't have doors, just a curtain, which they failed to completely close most of the time, though there were other people in the hallways.
It was a couples massage- WE DIDN'T GET MASSAGED AT THE SAME TIME. I had "hot rocks" which were cold on my back for 25 minutes as the woman worked on my girlfriend. The massuse was in and out of the room- leaving my girlfriend without a towel for up to six minutes at a time. My girlfriend did not get a massage, it had no pressure and was just light rubbing or karate chopping.
Then, there was yelling and arguing coming from the front as a couple was there for a 1pm couples massage and due to there only being one couple's room they were denied a massage. They insisted a refund being that they had a babysitter at their home who had to be paid and no one ever called them to say the appointment couldn't be upheld. Rightly so, the man called the owner- arguing for a refund and stating he did not want to disturb everyone there (which we were- how do you relax when there is yelling?). The owner was so rude to him, saying the man's behavior was "shameful" and the owner would sue the man and saying he was violent. The owner refused to come speak to the man or give him a refund or anything. This continued the entire rest of the time.
I finally started to get massaged, the woman started very rough and painful, then they switched people on me. The next woman gave a decent massage, but also would leave frequently and there was so much chaos! My poor girlfriend had to wait 20 minutes or so for me to be done, with not even hot stone or anything. Both massages, they pulled the towels down much too far beneath our butts for our comfort and when I tried to fix it, she pulled it down again.
When we were done, the man was still arguing with the owner. I used my girlfriend's phone to check my bank statement and saw that I had the $84 charge from Groupon. I spoke to my massuse at the front about being scammed and insisted on speaking to the owner. I explained the situation, he tried to claim the groupon was not redeemed, without even asking for my name or anything. Eventually, after arguing, he gave me the $84 cash back. The poor couple still hadn't gotten a refund.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS, THE OWNER IS HOT HEADED AND HORRIBLE TO CUSTOMERS AND THE PLACE IS CHAOTIC- IN NO WAY RELAXING. read more
