I have been going to Soothing Oasis Massage for the last few years. I wanted to share my…read moreexperiences. They have been nothing but excellent. The massage therapists were skilled and attentive, providing the level of pressure I prefer in a massage. I have seen both Grace and Judy, and both are great at understanding my specific needs and tailoring the massage to my preferences. The studio was clean and well-maintained and the staff was friendly. The focus on stretching was also a plus. I highly recommend Soothing Oasis Massage for a high-quality massage experience that will leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.

It was my first time going to this place & the reason I chose this location was because they had…read moreoutstanding reviews. Unfortunately, I had the most outrageous experience. Everything was perfect until it came time to pay. The lady who did my message did an outstanding job. I got a 90 minute massage for $115.00. When I got to the front to pay the lady who did my massage was standing next to me & some other employee. Not sure if she was the manager but she was the one closing out the service. When it came time to pay she asked me if I would be leaving the tip on the card or cash. I told her how much gratuity I was leaving & she stated "90 minute massage which was great you leave more money $30" and pointed to the suggested tip amount on the wall. I WAS SOOOOO LIVID! I clearly stated "You can't tell me what to leave, you don't know people's situation ... and you should be grateful to even receive ANYTHING". She laughed and said "I gave you great massage $30 tip." I told her how unprofessional she is & the fact that she had the audacity to tell me what I NEED to leave as a tip is outrageous. She & the lady continued to speak to each other making sure I didn't know what was being said. I paid for my service & as I am walking out the door the lady who did my massage walked out the door behind me and was saying things in a language I do not understand. Overall, I was appalled by the whole situation & I will not be going back. Leaving a tip is NOT demanded & not included in the service. Just be thankful for even receiving something & don't harass someone for MORE money.

I decided to treat myself to a prenatal massage and was referred to Body & Balance by a friend. They also have a live Groupon to try it at a discount. I booked a 60-minute prenatal massage which is 50 minutes of hands on activity and five minutes before and after. It's regularly $85 but you can add in aromatherapy for $10. Again, I got a price break with Groupon and also got a coupon afterwards for a return visit, so you may want to check that out. The masseuse's name is Oneida and she's very friendly and encouraging for moms to be. When it comes to prenatal massage, you either lie on your side or some spas have a special pillow for your belly so you can be facedown. Here, they have you lie on your side which was still comfy and I was able to relax. While she can't go too deep, I found the pressure to be good... Only complaint was that it went by too fast! Body & Balance offers a lot more besides prenatal massage including deep tissue, Swedish, and hot stone massages, as well as cupping. It's located inside Gables Optimal Health which has a few different holistic practitioners. The office is part of Giralda Plaza on the second floor of one of the buildings, so bake in time for finding metered street parking.

My friend Tiffany introduced me to The NOW Massage at Plantation Walk, and honestly I have never…read morelooked back since. They offer a few different varieties of massages including a stretch massage, healer massage, and the signature NOW massage. There are also many add-ons you can request such as gua sha, deep tissue cupping, hot stones, eye masks, and scalp massage. I've received massages from a few different therapists at both their Fort Lauderdale location and the one here in Plantation, but what keeps me coming back to this Plantation Walk location is literally the best massage therapist on the planet -- Ace. He is very popular among my friends and quite a few of us see him regularly. His understanding of the human body -- muscles, ligaments, tendons -- how to treat the body, how to stretch the body, and how to work out those pesky knots is honestly incredible. The man massages like it's a work of art, which I truly think it is. If I've been non-compliant with stretching after the gym, I can count on Ace to get me walking again. If my back and neck feel broken after stressful long shifts at work, I know I can count on him to help me regain mobility and stay pain-free. If you ever want to treat yourself, you should absolutely come to this location. The front desk staff are very kind and welcoming. They offer still water as well as citrus-infused water. They also have a bunch of little knick-knacks and creams, aromatherapy items, candles, etc. I used to belong to their membership, but I just can't financially commit to it right now. If I could, I would totally get the membership again. They also are not very pushy about it, and canceling the membership is not difficult. The bathrooms are very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The entire vibe of the studio is calming, pleasant, and relaxing. In the background they play ocean waves, which I personally find very soothing. The lighting is dim and the space smells lightly of essential oils, which really adds to the relaxing atmosphere. As far as the massage spaces themselves, they are not fully private rooms but rather individual areas separated by curtains. There is still plenty of privacy and the lighting is dim so you don't feel like people are looking at you. Of course, guests should still be courteous by silencing their phones and speaking quietly. Before your massage, there is a pre-debrief room where you talk with your therapist about any problem areas, ailments, or what you are hoping to get out of the session. Post-massage you also briefly debrief in that same room to make sure you feel good and everything went well. Ace is extremely popular, so I would definitely recommend booking ahead if you want to see him. Honestly, this place is a little piece of heaven.

Hopefully our experience gives others an idea of what to expect. I wish I had read the other Yelp Reviews before we went to Zen Spa. Other people have experienced the same roughness in their massages, and the same coerciveness with tipping and payment. Swedish Massage I booked a massage for my 20+ old son. He is an athlete and has had many massages at other spas, including deep issue/sports massage. When we arrived, the "therapist" suggested a 90-minute session for $110. For today, my son did not want a deep tissue massage so I asked her to confirm that this session would be Swedish and he could tell her to make the pressure as light as he wanted. She confirmed yes. Payment and 30% (or higher) "Suggested Tipping" When it was time to pay, she asked me to hand her my credit card, and then as she initiated the payment, she asked how much I wanted to tip. Since it was a $110 session and I customarily tip 20%, I said "$22". However, she did not just add $22. She pointed to a printed sign that listed "Suggested Tips for a $110 session" and the smallest suggested tip was $30. This is a 27% tip, far above customary. In all other businesses I've dealt with, I am the one to tap my credit card, and I can privately enter whatever amount of tip that I choose. But at Zen Spa, the therapist held my credit card hostage while asking me to tell her how much I wanted to tip, as if it was a set amount obligation and not the client's choice to show appreciation for good service. I was taken aback by how presumptuous she was, but decided that I would just tip the 27% and be done with it. The payment should have been $110 for the service plus $30 for the tip, for a total of $140. However, the receipt total said $142. I pointed to the sign that said the 90-minute Swedish massage was $110, so the total should have been $140. She kept insisting that her total was correct, and only after I kept asking did she point to a different sign that said that there was a $2.00 fee for using a credit card. My guess is that they were passing on the credit card companies' fees to the client, but they didn't want to change the published price list, so they created a smaller sign that said that there would be a $2.00 extra fee. Really deceptive. Rough Massage and Broken Capillaries After we left, I asked my son how it went. He said it was a terrible experience. We understand that there may be bruising or redness, but he has never had that with deep tissue massages at other places. But at Zen Spa, with a supposedly "Swedish massage," the woman was so rough with her hands and a tool -- perhaps a massage roller -- that he had to tell her to lighten up. The result of all the roughness is a back full of broken capillaries and inflamed skin (see photos attached). This is not normal. Less important, and rather funny, was that the spa room smelled like garlic. This place was definitely not peaceful and zen. One positive thing I can say about the spa is that they take precautionary safety measures because of the neighborhood. Another therapist/owner said that they lock the doors to the building when they are in sessions because "there are lot of bad boys" in the area.
