Sketchy vibes are kind of my thing and to some this experience may be considered pretty sketchy…read moregetting all massaged up in a huge room with a bunch of other people. This was actually far from sketchy or that could mean I've just been to a lot of sketchier things hahahaha. I firmly believe in going to different schools for services like hair, skin, massage care...because hey why not support a future professional...they have to learn and practice and I don't mind paying less! It was easy to call and leave a message for my preferred date and time. I called in the morning and received a call back that afternoon (when there was clinic). There are limited days and hours that the students have clinic so keep that in mind. It worked out for me because luckily there are evening hours. Check in was easy and at the time of my service a 1 hour massage is listed as $40, no add ons available that I know of. You pay before starting. Josie was my student and she greeted me and asked if I had visited before. I had not so she gave me a brief rundown as she guided me to the changing area. It's a large dimly lit room with multiple massage beds. Relaxing spa music was playing which is great for potentially snoring or awkward breathing sounds which could occur. I was given a very large sheet which I appreciated as some other places I swear try to give me the smallest square of fabric possible, barely covering all the goodies....not an issue here though! I took of everything but my panties in order to need impede on her flow. She led me to her massage bed and I hopped on! She asked if there were any specific areas I would like addressed and I told her my lower back gets on/off tightness. I received a full body massage and always felt properly draped at all times. Pressure was applied and changed as needed on various body parts and she checked in with me to ask if I was ok multiple times. I had an amazing experience! I tipped her in cash after my service...so be sure to bring some cash for your student. My first time here and will definitely be back when I'm in the area! As with any service based school, of course your experience will vary depend on who services you but verbally everyone will have the basics down to be able to service you...I've not had any issues and hope the same for you LOL If you've read this far thanks! You're a real one :) Pro tip...upon opening the door to enter...there are stairs immediately leading DOWN....do not try to run in or you will definitely be eating some stairs...potentially looking like an awkward slow mo cartoon gone wrong.

This review is for receiving massages as a client…read more I will never return. You're better off paying slightly more for massage envy or some place in china town. And least they realize they are providing product/service. The massages at The Massage School are hit or miss, they discourage requests outside of a specific routine, it's in a dungeon of a basement with no separators between tables and they give you a bed sheet to wrap around you like a toga. But that's what you get for $40. If you find a good person, you can request them until they graduate out, including for 2 hr massages. What makes this 1 star is their ineffective scheduling system and even worse communication with clients. They have repeatedly shifted me from my requested people with zero communication. I've had some pretty bad experiences as a result. What's the point of requesting someone and traveling 45 minutes to find out it's with a masseuse who has no idea what they're doing? Thats not the agreement we had. Sometimes this is a result of simply not taking the time to call me. Other times it's been confusion between their staff because they keep their schedule with paper and pencil. If you want to use such a poor scheduling method, the least you could do is keep track of changes and have a method to let your clients know with an opportunity to cancel. You're using a 1980s organizational system with terrible 2020s customer service. I've received zero offers for refund (I've asked) nor remorse from the person who runs the place, but many apologies from staffers who can't do anything about the situation. I was told to the equivalent of 'you get what you get and don't get upset.' I know you're a school but you're still charging money for a service. Try acting like it. After too many experiences like this I am tired of paying with my money and time for disrespect and bad massages.

I've grown to appreciate some of the more intense Thai style massages offered in S Boston on Broadway so was a bit let down here at Aiyara with a massage that felt more traditional, less stretching, less intense, and not really digging into all the joints/spots. Admittedly, I did request a less intense massage on this particular day so I'm sure that was part of it. For the price, I'm sticking with S Boston.

It was alright, a decent massage - I was hoping for something more based off the previous reviews…read more Sadly it didn't come close to that feeling of "reinvigorated". I've certainly have had experiences elsewhere with that feeling of absolute painlessness, but no, not even close here. I chose to do the deep tissue massage by the way. However where I was truly disappointed, and really what makes this review a 2, was when the masseuse finished early by a good 10 mins and then once I was fully dressed and went to the full desk. I was stopped by the masseuse and she ordered me to give a tip. I was already planning to give a tip - even with the lackluster early finishing of timing by her. She demanded a full 20 dollar tip - what a joke! I tried to settle with her at 10, but no, she was very persistent that she offered a decent service. The lack of English I can understand. But I'm astonished by the attitude of the masseuses. This'll be my first and last, visit here.
