This is a review of the massage services.
I desperately needed a massage but on a budget so of course I hit up Groupon. I chose this location because it was close to home.
My appointment was for 12:00 on Sunday, which was perfect. It was my birthday weekend and I had plans the day before. I received a call that morning asking if I could move the appointment to 1, which was only slightly inconvenient so I agreed.
I arrived at 12:45 as I expected that there would be forms for me to fill out. It's in the great Creek Rd area so you can get a massage and hit some of the local stores and maybe even have lunch.
Parking was a bit limited in the front of the salon but I got lucky. I was immediately greeted and given the clipboard to fill out. The only uncomfortable item about this is that as these forms do, it asks medical information. When I returned the form to the salon receptionist she was reading it. Not exactly information that I wanted to share with someone outside of the massage therapist. I don't know if the owner was there as she didn't introduce herself. That would have been nice since I was a new customer.
The therapist arrived just slightly before 1:00. I expected he would have been there sooner, especially since it was cold out and cold hands don't make for a fun massage.
The Good and Great: Jeremy is an EXCELLENT massage therapist. I've had massages at some of the best places Ritz Carlton, Arizona, Caribbean, etc and he is very talented, attentive, great pressure and communication. I got a swedish and expect that a deep tissue would be even better. After the massage he explained his technique, the benefit of massage, etc. I will likely go back and I've already recommended him to others.
The not so great:
- So the massage room is at the rear of the salon. If you're looking for a fancy spa experience, this isn't your place. Although he has relaxing music playing you will hear conversations from the salon. I went on a Sunday when there weren't many customers, so it may be louder on a busier day.
- The room smelled like hair spray, hair products, etc. It could definitely use an aroma therapy mister.
- The room temperature. Since the bed isn't heated the room should be warmer. They need a heater in there during the cooler/cold months. Or heat the oils. But there were definitely moments when it would have been nice to feel warmer. read more
