    Handwritten thank you note!

    I had a great first experience with a massage with Vanessa. There was a robe and slippers already in my locker, in my size, with a neatly written chalkboard hanging from it so I knew which one was mine. I enjoyed a glass of champagne while decompressing in the waiting area. The massage was wonderful including aromatherapy but I'd specifically requested for suggestions for my next massage since my regular for many years just moved and she just did what she needed to do so I didn't have the language to describe what I wanted. Now I do thanks to Vanessa's noting and even demonstrating some of the different techniques. I'm much more educated. I was pleased enough to schedule my next one before leaving! All of this would have been enough for me to decide to become a regular here but what pushed it over the edge to review status was the hand written thank you note I received from the owners. Wow! Just a class act all the way around!

    The card that I was told never existed, signed by the owners.

    The one star is because there is SO much potential here. It's truly a shame that the horrible attitude of the owner, Colleen, truly ruined the experience. I was there for a spa day my husband had booked to give me a break from nursing during a pandemic and momming four kiddos. Honestly, running literal mud on me would have felt like a 5 star experience. I had about $500 worth of services but had a 10% off card, signed by Walt and Colleen after my first visit. I let them know about it when I booked and was told by the kind receptionist that she was entering it into the computer so that I didn't "have to worry about it on the day of". When I went to check out, they couldn't find that, or some credit that my husband had gone in to add to my account. I asked for them to check under both of our names. Colleen stormed out from the back and was immediately agitated and incredibly condescending. She went on to tell me that they "don't do 10% off cards". I explained that I have actually received two of them, on separate occasions, signed by herself and Walt. She denied that this could be the case, but when another employee spoke up, she conceded that they do, but only for military and visits on a birthday. I explained that my husband is military and I had been there on my birthday once. She proceeded to tell me that once people "hear about those discounts" they tend to pretend they have them. At this point I was in tears. I felt humiliated in front of a salon full of people watching this interaction. As far as I know, my store credit is missing in action and I ended up paying hundreds more than expected (despite having put back a significant amount of product because they do not deserve my business). No apology, no kind words, just a "next time bring the card". There will be no next time.

To my surprise, it was very easy to make an appointment! I was a little skeptical since there weren't too many reviews but decided to give them a chance. And boy am I glad I did. I decided on a 90 minute massage and every second of it was amazing. Michelle was my massage therapist and she was excellent. I highly recommend her. She was knows the perfect balance between firm and gentle pressure. My entire body feels amazing, even my face! She gave me a face and scalp massage that made me consider never leaving haha. I paid $105 for a 90 minute massage and it was a full 90 minutes of actual massage. A lot of places take 10 minutes to get ready and change and stuff but nope this place was legit 90 minutes. When I was checking out, they gave me a punch card that gives you a free hour after your 10th massage. I will definitely be coming back! Clean, great service, great price and super accommodating with last minute appointments! I could not ask for more :)

I've had Chinese foot massages before and they can be extremely painful lol in a good way. my masseur was very gentle with me at first so I was ready to be extremely let down, but man, she started applying a lot of pressure! at the end, she got some hot stones and massaged my legs with those. was very comforting and she definitely went over the 30 minutes so I am pleased with the overall massage! highly recommend getting a foot massage every so often - I'm on my feet a lot at home thanks to a certain child of mine so this was relaxing! my husband received a 45 minute massage which he extended for another 15 minutes for $20. definitely not worth it depending on what massage you're getting as I should've just booked directly through them haha he seems to have enjoyed it - said he felt very soft afterwards whatever that means this place honestly reminds me of the shops you'd find in Chinatown of NYC lol I know it's not the best looking, but it's definitely what I'm used to. pricing is much cheaper than what they have on Groupon so I would recommend booking with them instead of the Groupon. I believe it was the owner I was speaking with, but she said they offer discounts from time to time so I'd check with them if you're interested in coming!

They lied and said it was them. They took him into start a massage, I continued to call him to let him know he was in the wrong place. He finally realized it, stopped the massage and got up to leave. He paid them for a full hour even though he was only there for less than 30 minutes. Then they had the audacity to ask for a tip. Apparently they poach clients all the time. Very disappointing business practice. Thai Healing Arts is excellent and right next door. Go there instead.
