She commented on how tight my shoulders were and asked if I'd like to add on Chinese cupping for $10 or $15 more which I did. It was the true Chinese cupping with glass bulbs and I'll admit it hurt for the first 30 seconds but then it was fine and let me tell you my back and shoulders were SO RELAXED afterward! At that price I'll be adding it every time. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

The massage itself was very good. What wasn't good was when it was time to checkout. The price of…read morethe massage had increased and what was posted online was no longer accurate. Then I was trying to tip 10% and they stopped me and questioned if I was only tipping 10% and said they normally receive 20% in tip. They just stood there and wouldn't continue processing the transaction with a 10% tip. I ended up pulling out cash to tip 20%. The reason for a 10% tip instead of 20% like I normally would is because during my massage the girl stopped to answer the ringing phone (which she had in the room with her) and schedule a massage. Then, a few minutes later the soothing music cut out to a very loud and long Kroger commercial. I've never had a massage where the music was interrupted by commercials. Again, the actual massage technique was good, but having the massage interrupted by answering the phone and commercials was not and then having someone demand a larger tip was not a great overall experience.

When we arrived, another tea party was in full swing (flashback to previous review) but at least this one was for adult ladies. So, the massage was very nice, and we decided to have a cup of tea. I had just done my Yelp check in, commenting on the tepid tea I had been served, when a spa worker who looked exactly like Thomas P (see his biased review of Serenity - only one review in two years - so suspicious) saw me Yelping. He asked me about Yelp, like he had never heard of it (yeah, right!) and I said Yelp was great for finding peer rated businesses, etc. He walked away after and I thought that was over... was I ever wrong! Evidently, he went into the back office and pulled up my review of Serenity. Next thing I know, the owner comes out surrounded by all her waitresses. She began to berate me for my last review 10 months ago. Says my review was damaging to her business and was impacting her waitresses, all of whom were mothers (not sure why that was relevant). She also said that if I didn't like her place, I should get out and not come back. How unprofessional! If her business is getting bad reviews, maybe there is a real fundamental reason. Maybe it is her temper and tendency to ask paying customers to leave and not come back. The owner is a bigger problem than a bad review. Funny enough, without the owner incident, I probably would have given Serenity a better rating than I had previously. After all, gift certificate notwithstanding, I spent $75.00 there for a coffee pot and dry teas. Still, all in all, I could not in good conscience recommend this business to anyone. Folks, give this place a miss.

I missed an appointment, which I had clearly stated I intended to pay for at my next session. But when I arrived and greeted my therapist, I was stopped at the front desk and told I couldn't go back until "this was taken care of." I was made to stand there while they charged me for both the missed session and the one I hadn't even had yet. It was awkward, cold, and humiliating. Despite all my consistency and support, I was treated like a flight risk. I was made to feel so uncomfortable that I walked out and didn't even stay for the massage I had just paid for. When I reached out to management to explain how upsetting the experience was, the response I received was brief and dismissive. I've since canceled two months of future appointments and requested that my card be removed from their system. Roxanne is a truly wonderful massage therapist, and this review is in no way a reflection of her work. But the way this situation was handled by management was deeply disappointing. There's a lot to work on in how they treat loyal clients and communicate policies. I would have preferred to leave a better review - but this experience left me no choice.

On my annual visit to Gainesville a year ago, I had been to this massage place and had a very good massage.

She wasn't able to change what she was doing - superficial mindless repetitive strokes. I ended up cutting my 1 1/2 hour session down to 1 hour. It was truly a terrible experience.
