Went for a couples massage and was completely disappointed.
Firstly when I arrived I was not given any form to fill out, which would have been great as I have an allergy to certain oils. I had to inform the masseuse when I was already on the table. I also asked that my boyfriend also not have the oil I'm allergic to used on him, and she replies, "Oh. Right." As if that would not have been obvious? As we're in the same room. And would be spending time together afterwards. I don't want contact at all with an allergen, thanks Your Escape.
Then she asked what kind of pressure I wanted, I request hard pressure. What I got was the lightest touch massage I have ever received, she was just running her fingers up and down my back and not actually massaging me, no pressure whatsoever. It just felt like she was lightly touching me and moving the oil around. I left with the same sore spots that I went in with.
We paid extra for a parrafin wax hand treatment. My boyfriend had his applied about halfway through the massage, but I had to request that I get mine done with about 10 minutes left on our time. I spoke up and asked why he'd gotten his and I wouldn't be getting as much time to soak, and she replied "we have different massage styles". I got less than 10 minutes with the wax on before the massage was winding down and it had to be removed.
To top it off we didn't even receive the same type of massage. The girl I had did not once touch my shoulders or neck, and did not touch my feet either. A massage without touching my neck or shoulders?! She spent about 15 minutes running her fingers up and down my back, and spent the remaining time on my legs. I did not ask for her to focus on my legs. When it was over I asked my boyfriend if he'd gotten his shoulders and neck rubbed, and he had! The masseuse he had focused her time on his back and shoulders, not his legs as mine had. He said he asked for lots of pressure and he also felt it was much too light.
I was so upset that a nice afternoon couples massage was a total waste. I did not leave feeling relaxed. My boyfriend felt so bad that he gave me another massage when we got home to make me feel better. Isn't that why I paid a professional?
Not sure how the other services they offer are, but do NOT get a massage. Save your money and go elsewhere! read more
