My husband and I booked a 90-minute couples massage at SVIP Massage, and it was very disappointing.
We were taken to a room with two tables but given no instructions. My husband asked for focus on his back, but this wasn't followed. The massage lacked pressure and felt like lotion being lightly rubbed on our skin. Cold lotion was applied directly, which was uncomfortable. The therapist struggled with her chair and even moved the table while I was on it. Both therapists chatted in Chinese throughout.
The room was very cold, and despite mentioning it, nothing changed. My husband also asked for deeper pressure, but it never improved. Communication was difficult due to a language barrier.
The massage lacked flow, jumping between areas instead of working muscles properly. At the end, I tipped $20 each, but was told via translation app that $30 each was expected, which made things more uncomfortable.
The therapists seemed kind, but overall the technique, communication, comfort, and professionalism fell far below expectations. We won't be returning. read more
