I had settled on 2 stars until the masseuse asked me for a tip by knocking on the desk and then…read morespeaking. This was after her lackluster massage. Definitely the chance you take when you go to some of the massage places in Metairie. Kinda run down, furniture in dark corners, out of service makeshift Vichy, the air conditioning barely works. Dreary at its best. She was not a massage therapist...her timing was off, kneeding was unbalanced--no wonder they collect pay upfront. Leaning onto me from wrong positioning at the table and poor posture, her range was limited like her English. I found her to be a little rude. Microagrresions like knocking and like leaving the door open. I got her name, Mina, and told her I won't be back due to her subpar service.

My husband and I went to get a couples massage here on our anniversary. We paid up front: $200 for…read more90-minute massages. I am a massage therapist and would NEVER... EVER... EVER... do any of the unethical things that these ladies did. My husband must have had the same lady as Audrey F. This lady massaged his outer thighs with appropriate pressure and technique, but, when it came to his inner thighs she not only massaged in a sensual manner, but she was also making noises like she was getting something from it. Also, when he was on his stomach, she straddled his head while she worked on his shoulders. (She is lucky I didn't see her doing this!) When he flipped to his back, he kept his eyes on her, and every time, she was either looking at him, or turning around looking at me. She constantly told him, your wife is here, yet she kept looking back at me. At one point, I looked her and caught her looking back at me. She made him very uncomfortable. He has never experienced a massage in this manner. Now, the lady that gave me the massage, at one point, covered my eyes with a towel and walked out of the room. (Which is when I saw the lady that was massaging my husband, looking back at me, as if she was doing something unethical.) Prior to this, I noticed a couple of things: 1. The sheet used to "cover" me, barely did. 2. Draping was less than appropriate: She flipped the sheet up, exposing my underwear, & when flipping from my stomach to my back, she lifted the sheet on her side, exposing my breast. Once done, we went to leave, and they were standing at the counter asking for a tip. My husband asked for change for $100. He told them he wanted to tip them $10 each, totaling $20. She took the $100 bill and handed him $20 back and was going to keep the $80. I told her, Oh No!!! $20 for the tip. It appalls me how places like this do this!!!! If I would have known about my husband's experience beforehand, they wouldn't have gotten a penny more. I nearly ended the sessions based off of my experience. For future reference: 1. Always make sure their license is visible. If not, they are most likely not licensed to practice. There should be 1 license for each "Massage Therapist".... Most places like this either don't have any licenses on display, or they have only 1 license thinking this suffices for all of them. 2. Tips should be at the discretion of the client. Tips should NEVER be demanded! You pay for the service, anything extra would be based off of their professionalism, & your satisfaction of the massage. 3. You, the client, have a right to end a session any time you feel uncomfortable and should be refunded at that time.

I was traveling from out of town for Jazzfest and saw a brochure advertising Gravier Street Massage…read morea place close to my hotel. I was a bit skeptical because the location is right next to a parking garage, but I booked a massage here anyhow. Boy am i so glad I went in. I had a 90 minute massage with Lisa. She was amazing. Deep tissue. Hot stones. She is obviously well trained in doing massage. I even returned to see her one more time. I can't say anything about the other people here. But if you are looking for a fantastic massage then I highly recommend you go to Lisa. Five stars. Also, the place is very clean and they keep long hours. I found the price to be very reasonable. $95 for a 90 minute massage is a bargain in my mind. One of the highlights of my trip to New Orleans.

The massage studio was clean and quiet and private. The only thing is the room that shared the wall to the exterior of the building you can hear the noise of the people walking past. But I was so into my zone of trying to relax and enjoy the loosening of my tight and sometimes painful muscles the noise didn't disturb me. They massaged my scalp and ears too which was so nice. By the end of my massage the therapist detected that I had tightness in my feet. Which I really did from all of the walking about downtown New Orleans through the crowds and parades. So for $30 extra bucks I stayed and got a 20-30 minute (I can't remember how long it was) feet massage. It was so nice and I could tell the difference after the massages. We all felt much better as far as relaxed legs and back muscles. I was afraid I would be hurt during the massage of my lumbar area as it hurts a lot sometimes and the massage studio/salon didn't take any intake information about any health issues. However they did great and I wasn't hurt at all. I recommend this location when in New Orleans.

I arranged for two massage therapists from Balance Massage to provide chair massages at a health fair. For starters, Balance Massage has a very professional website with helpful information, including a list of local clients that includes Whole Foods, Tulane University, and Harrah's Casino. All Balance Massage therapists are nationally certified. Joe (I think he is the owner) was very helpful and friendly during the reservation process and answered all of my questions. The day of the event, the massage therapists showed up on time with their equipment in tow. All I needed to do was give them a little bit of space to set up in. The massage therapists were friendly, sanitized their hands and chairs between clients, and provided skilled, relaxing massages. It was a lot harder than you might think to find professional, organized, and affordable massage therapists to provide chair massages at an event. I endured many bizarre phone calls before I found Balance Massage. I definitely called a lot of 'happy ending' type places from my cubicle, much to my coworkers' entertainment.
