I also really appreciate the convenience of their hours: 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., seven days a week. The prices are very reasonable, the atmosphere is clean and relaxing, and the therapists are always professional. This was my fifth visit, which probably says it all! I've consistently had a great experience and am already looking forward to my next massage. Highly recommend!

I had heard so good things about this place so I called on a whim yesterday when I was feeling…read morestressed & got a 1 hour massage w "C C" . ( price is very fair 80$ an hour- there is a 4% surcharge to use cards, so bring cash to save & don't forget to tip I asked for a NMT ( Neuromuscular Therapy massage ) which is stronger than most - and CC didn't disappoint! I was surprised at how strong she was . CC used her arms as well as hands for a deep soothing , almost stretching at times massage . She even pulled my fingers and I felt them pop ! That was so relaxing! This neck thing she did by pulling upward was also amazing ! As someone else has mentioned - English isn't the first language here so there are menus on the wall when you walk in - you point at the amount of time you want , the different types of massage ( Swedish , hot stone etc ) be sure you are clear . There is a clock that has a timer in your room - and you do get the ENTIRE hour! (Most places give you 45 min .) if you want lavender or coconut oil it's an extra 10$ ( I am not big on scents so didn't add this ) It was honestly the best massage I've had in Birmingham! CC is amazing ! And there is a system to how she worked ( I tried to point out my shoulders hold most tension & not sure she understood completely- but she covered EVERYTHING! She used a warm oil at one time and even took care to make sure my hair was covered w a towel ) They have a massage here I've never seen offered elsewhere in Bham -where they walk on your back ! ( I noticed the bars over the table where they hold on as they do this I think a lot of men must like this. ) . I didn't want that because I'm a 63-year-old woman. I would definitely use CC again. ) I cant recommend this place highly enough- BUT you need to be very clear about what you want -because as I said, English is not their first language . Someone left a bad review and mentioned that it looked dirty. (?) and not fancy enough compared to a Bham spa -I can tell you they don't spend their money on fancy furniture , but it is in a nice part of town. ( Vestavia ) i prefer to spend my $ on the actual massage as I have had some very bad massages at some very " fancy " spas and hotels . The entire placd was clean & simple . They had a hygienic face cover in place for me to place my face on.- the room is dark and calming w zen music I saw someone said they didn't think these people were LMT but of course they are licensed I didn't have to look at the degree to tell CC had been trained as a LMT . I have had friends that visited here & recommended to me & Im so grateful. There's not much talking during the massage but I could tell she was reacting to my sounds or if I moved ( etc ) if I said " that feels nice ", it was a strongest massage I have ever had from a woman , but she didn't hurt me I asked for your "Neuromuscular Therapy Massage" ( NMT )which is much stronger than a Swedish . I have never had a better massage ! I will be coming back here regularly. They're a wonderful place and no , they're not "fancy "if you want to pay $100 extra to go to a spa - you do you ! I have been getting massages in Birmingham for the last 20 years and I can tell you this is by far the best massage I've ever gotten . I look forward to trying the hot stone, Swedish & a foot massage soon! It's very easy to find and parking is simple - I called and asked for a massage at 2 pm - I wasn't asked to to fill out a bunch of forms and I was taken straight back.

The 60-minute session was fantastic, and you have the option to request a male or female masseur. Make sure to clearly communicate your preferred pressure level right at the start so your therapist can tailor the experience perfectly to your needs.
