Do NOT go here. I would recommend that you go literally anywhere else. Trust me…read more
I do not often leave reviews, but I wanted to make sure I left a review because of how terrible the massage was & because I want to warn anybody considering going to this place.
I came here yesterday evening with my partner for the 90 minute massage (60-min body & 30-min feet + heat therapy). Absolutely NOT worth it. After discussion with my partner post-massage, we both agreed on the same flaws & the lack of true massage skills.
Speaking on behalf of myself and my partner: First of all, the entire massage was lesser-skilled than that of a beginner or novice masseuse. The massage "therapist" only used her knuckles to massage me the whole time. She caused so much uncomfortable friction & pain to many parts of my body. Informing the masseuse not to use her knuckles to massage would not have corrected the comfort of the massage; It was essentially a skill error. By the 30-minute mark, I tried to enjoy it, but the masseuse continued to massage every single part of my body with her knuckles. I'm sure there are good massages out there using the technique of knuckles, but this masseuse was rubbing the same area back & forth rapidly as if she were trying to remove an air bubble from wallpaper. She could not tell that I was suffering in pain (I jerked, flinched, & groaned many times) as she applied heavy knuckle force on my bony areas. We could tell that these two masseuse did not know anything about basic muscle anatomy; Why on Earth were they digging into our bony prominences thinking that would feel good for anyone? I recall, during the massage, I was thinking, "This woman cannot be a massage therapist. She must be the front desk lady or just a random friend they called up to accommodate two customers (myself & my partner)." She did not know what she was doing; It felt like she was guessing about what to do. She was rushing, moving too rapid with no care for comfort, or consideration for satisfaction. When the hot stones came in, she dropped the hot stones on my back as if she was throwing feed to the chickens! Why did she not place them slowly & carefully like a real massage therapist would do? She dropped them on my back from a height high enough for me to feel slight spinal pain upon landing. Even with the hot stones, she was running them on my body like a child painting for the first time on their home walls; Too chaotic, too forceful, too discomforting. I was hoping the foot massage would be better since I usually prefer getting feet massages anyway, but it got worse! She began use her forceful, rapid back-&-forth knuckle technique on my ankles, shins, & knees. Again, I expressed discomfort & pain when I groaned & jerked my limbs away from her, but she grabbed my limbs, put them back in place, & continued.
At the end, my partner and I then immediately expressed our dissatisfaction with the massage having very similar points on the reasons we did not like the massage. We almost did not give a tip because of how terrible it was, but we knew it was the considerate thing to do because of their time. We gave our tips to both massage therapists at the end, only for both to stop us from exiting the building saying, "You give more tip. We spent long time massaging you." My partner and I looked at each other at surprise of how entitled & disgusting their behavior was. We said, "We are giving this tip amount based on how we liked the service." The massage therapists at said, "You give more now!" We said, "Is that a requirement?" The massage therapist said, "Well, I had customer one time give me much more for 90-minute massage." We said, "This is the amount that we're only going to give you." They rushed to the register & said, "We do credit card tips, c'mon!" My partner and I looked at each other with deep concern & ran out of the building for our safety & timely exit.
Easily in the top 3 worst massages I have ever received in my entire life. Mind you, I get massages about 1-2x a month & have gotten various types of massages throughout Japan, Thailand, & many parts of the US; but this massage was absolutely & utterly terrible.
