This is a mixed bag for me that is ultimately not worth it.
My girlfriend and I called after purchasing, hoping to book for that weekend. We were told that we must book during the week. The conversation made it sound as if the Groupon would not be honored for a weekend visit. Upon reading it back to the person on the phone, she agreed to see us in two weeks on a Sunday at 3:30 in the afternoon. We took the appointment. We were also told how very busy it was and would be.
The day before the appointment, I received a text confirming the time as 3:15. This was not the time we booked.
We received a call at 3:17 asking after our arrival. We were on our way. We were told this was fine.
We arrived at the very modest place. No frills, for sure, which would have been fine, if the services were worth it. There was nary a soul in sight. The place was not only not "busy," it was dead.
Upon arrival, the lady at the front desk greeted us and then told us of the importance of getting a full body massage. She went further to tell us that for 22$ a piece we could get one of those. This went on for a minute or two where we explained that we did not need this. The price came down to $20 per person. We decided not to buy that based on first impressions.
We were guided to two old recliners toward the front that sat behind a dingy curtain. I am remiss in that I did not take a picture, but while not awful, it wasn't great. She left us there for a moment to listen to the distorted, grating piano music that I assume was to relax us.
My person came back first (I was truly wondering if there was going to be one person rubbing each of our feet with one hand) and put down a basin of hot water. She put my feet in, started the timer, and then left for a moment. So, the timer is running now as my girlfriend waits to have her feet soaked. A minute or two later, the first lady comes back. After putting my girlfriend's feet in hot water as well, the washing of feet begins. This was fine. Not great. Fine.
The foot scrub and rub, with some light calf work, went on for about 40 minutes. There was really no art to it. It was a foot rub, not "reflexology" and should be listed as such. It ended with a wiping of my feet and shins with a very hot stone.
Then, we were told to go to the massage rooms.
The timer was not halted and we walked back. By the time I went face down, we probably got about 5-6 minutes of work on our shoulders and a tiny bit on the lower back. It was very meh, and when they offered to extend our time for a fee, I am sure you know what we chose.
These are hard-working people, for sure. This is not reflexology and barely passes as a massage. It looks as though the $148 that we paid is down to $118. If you feel like spending approximately 60$ before tip for a nice person and a mediocre massage, this is for you. read more
