I went to Andrew over six months ago and I debated writing this review. I read awesome reviews…read moreabout Andrew. Groupon had a deal, so I decided to give it a try. I arrive ten minutes early to my appointment, the receptionist was really sweet and gave me paperwork to fill out. Five minutes later, the door next to receptionist opened, and there was Andrew with one of his patient. He acknowledged me right away and told me he would be with me within five minutes.
Once his patient left, we discussed what I wanted him to work on. By this time, fifteen minutes had passed. I make it a habit to watch the times when getting massages because so many masseuses will try to end early. So my knots are very hard, stubborn, old, and very ingrained. I've gone to numerous masseuses to work on them, and they are always surprised about how tough my knots are. Andrew was no different, he commented on how stubborn they were and got to work.
Andrew massages are intense; he was actually surprised that the pain wasn't bothering me. The left side of my body has more stubborn knots than the right side, on the left aide I could feel Andrew trying to loosen them and even getting frustrated that he couldn't. He worked more on the right side then the left.
He talked the whole time, which I didn't mind, and before I knew it, he said," oh, it's 3:45, we are done", and he abruptly stopped. He then walked out.
I was very annoyed after he left, due to his own doing we started late, I didn't get the full hour, and massages aren't suppose to suddenly stop, it's common standard to gently and easily ease into ending the massage. I paid him, thanked him, tipped him and he explained the many different rates and packages he offered. As I was leaving, I noticed that my right side felt better, but the left was hurting because he hadn't spent as much time on it as the right. So to recap:
Pros
* clean office
* convenient location
* very deep massage
Cons
* started fifteen minutes late
* I didn't get my full hour
* the massage wasn't properly ended
* left side didn't get the work it needed.
I debated whether or not to go back, ultimately the fact that I didn't get my full hour, to this day annoys me and that alone made my decision to never go back. If I pay for a full hour, I expect a full hour! If they can't provide that, then don't offer it as option!!! On to the next place.
