I was really looking forward to a relaxing and peaceful massage experience, but unfortunately, this…read morewas the complete opposite. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere lacked the calm and serene vibe you expect from a massage spa. The massage itself was extremely aggressive -- not therapeutic or tension-relieving, but actually painful. I'm still sore three days later. Even more disruptive, my massage therapist answered the phone four times during the session. I could also clearly hear another staff member in the next room answering calls two or three more times. It made the whole experience feel chaotic and unprofessional. Despite voicing my concerns during the massage, nothing changed. This did not feel like a place that values customer comfort or understands what a relaxing spa experience should be. I do not recommend this establishment and would strongly encourage others to seek out a more professionally run and calming environment.

Weirdest massage ever! I called to make an appointment and the lady who answered the phone just…read moresaid, "Massage". I should have stopped there but really needed a massage. I asked if there were any appointments and she told me to come right now. When I arrive I'm greeted by a lady who takes me right to the back. No paperwork or anything. The room had to strange bars above. The table had a sheet and towel. The head area was covered with paper towel. She came in and asked medium or hard. I said medium. I can't handle pressure. Well her medium had me in pain. At one point I told her it was hurting. I was gritting my teeth. All she did was giggle. There was definitely a language barrier. I enjoyed the hot stones. Pretty amazing. The foot massage was very good. They use baby oil. She rubbed it all over my face. Again, a little strange. She massages my forehead a lot. I was a little disappointed I didn't get a scalp massage. When I was face up, she climbed right on top of me and began massaging my thighs right into my groin. Weird. My towel was sliding down with my breasts fully exposed. I'm not shy, but if I were, it's be extremely uncomfortable. Just all so strange... That's about it. Not sure I'll go back. Oh and the place wasn't that clean. She kept leaving the room and left the door open. I just laugh at how weird it all was....

I received my massage from Bao. My second one so far, and it was better than the first. She is…read moresimply amazing. Her attention to detail is second to none, and I could tell that she is familiar with how the body actually works, how the blood flows and where to apply pressure for optimum effect. She also takes her time and isn't watching the clock like a lot of these other cookie cutter therapists, so when you pay for 60 or 90 minutes, you get the full 60/90 minutes. It is rare to find a therapist that is not only well versed in multiple styles of massage, but is also an expert in finding the right balance and style that works the best for your comfort and well-being. I'm definitely looking forward to weekly sessions with Bao, and hope to continue being a client for the foreseeable future.

I purchased a $100 gift card for a 60-minute massage for my husband. His appointment was scheduled…read morefor 10:00 a.m., and he was back in his vehicle and leaving by 11:00 a.m. At the time, there was a special advertised for new customers: $79.95 for a 60-minute massage. However, when you factor in the approximately 10 minutes at the beginning for undressing and preparation, and another 15 minutes at the end for getting dressed, the actual hands-on massage time appears to have been closer to 35 minutes, not 60. Additionally, when my husband was asked which areas needed the most attention, he specifically requested focus on his neck and shoulders. Unfortunately, he felt that the therapist spent the majority of the session working on other areas instead of addressing the areas he identified as problematic. Advertising a special for a 60-minute massage when the actual massage time is significantly shorter feels misleading and makes the promotion much less of a value than it appears. Based on this experience, my husband has no interest in returning, as he was very disappointed with the service and felt it did not meet his expectations.

I was eagerly awaiting my massage for the past couple of weeks leading up to it. The website…read moredescription of the massage therapist I chose seemed stellar, especially around the needs I had. So, I was really excited. I easily booked the appointment online. When I got in, the whole place was sweltering. The room was hot, the bed was hot, and they had a blanket over the sheet. I was able to get rid of the blanket and the bed heater, but the room stayed super warm. I explained my needs for work on my neck and shoulders, and we decided on adding a quicker gloss over the rest of my body as well because I had booked more time that she needed to just work my neck. The massage was not pain relieving. It wasn't even slightly therapeutic. I wasn't expecting for all of my problems to be cured, but I was expecting for at least a little bit of relief due to the extra dopamine. Nothing. It was like I paid a stranger to put lotion on me. I could tell she did work a couple of the muscles on the front of my neck, but it seemed like she ran out of time and didnt even get to the back of my neck, which was the #1 reason I was there. I complained about my neck still hurting. She massaged my neck for like 2 more minutes and then instructed me to get dressed.
