I do not typically write reviews, but I feel obligated to share this experience so that no one else has to go through what I did.
I have received many professional massages, including internationally, and I understand what is and is not appropriate in a professional setting. What happened during my appointment was completely unacceptable.
I kept my underwear on, as I always do during massages. The masseuse repeatedly attempted to pull them down and continuously worked far up my inner thighs and across my private areas in a way that felt invasive and inappropriate. I repeatedly tried to pull my underwear back up and reposition the blanket to cover myself, but my attempts were ignored.
I was unable to communicate my discomfort because no one at the establishment appeared to speak English, including the masseuse. This made it impossible to ask her to stop or adjust what she was doing. I was in tears during the session.
In addition, the room lacked basic privacy and professionalism. The curtain to the room was repeatedly left partially open. There were extended gaps during the massage while I was lying exposed, and when the session ended, the masseuse left the room with the curtain still significantly open while I was expected to get dressed.
If a properly trained professional was not available at the time of my appointment, that should have been communicated. I would have been happy to wait. Instead, I was placed in an extremely uncomfortable and distressing situation.
Client safety, consent, privacy, and communication are the absolute minimum standards for any massage establishment. This experience fell far below that standard. I will never return and strongly urge others to proceed with caution. read more
