I had a great experience at Authentic Thai Massage By Patti…read more I walked out feeling amazing--completely relaxed, and all the muscle soreness I came in with was gone without that post-massage "beat up" feeling you sometimes get. I went with a traditional Thai massage, and it was exactly what I was hoping for: deep, intentional work with a lot of stretching. She even got up on the table to really lean in and get the pressure where it needed to be. No walking on my back, but honestly, she didn't need to--she got plenty of depth without it. The therapist was very friendly and professional. She took the time upfront to ask about my goals, any health issues, and specific areas of pain, which I always appreciate. She does have a fairly strong accent, so I had to focus a bit more at times, but her English is excellent and it didn't take away from the experience at all. I also want to note how professional she was on a personal level. She shared that she had recently gone through a significant loss, and despite that, she remained fully present, kind, and focused throughout the session. That level of dedication really stood out. The environment was spot on. The waiting area was calm and comfortable with a relaxing video playing, and the massage room itself was just right--soothing music, perfect lighting (not too bright, not too dark), and thankfully not overly perfumed. Pricing was actually lower than I expected, especially for the quality of the massage. Definitely felt like a good value. One note: if you like deep tissue work, this is your place. I specifically asked for deep pressure, and she delivered. It got intense at times--but in the best way. In my opinion, a truly therapeutic massage should hurt a little... the ends justify the means, and in this case, they absolutely did. I was planning to go back in two weeks, but honestly, she did such a good job I didn't feel like I needed to. I'm just now starting to feel due again, so I'll be booking another appointment soon. I've already recommended her to several colleagues and even a few of my own patients. I'll definitely be back.

This was my first time visit and was recommended by a colleague. I received a full-body table…read moremassage and was able to schedule an appointment on the same day. The massage was average. However, my visit was immediately tainted when as we were handing her our tip, one of the workers said it was not enough and that there is a mandatory 20% tip. This is told to us AFTER we were done with our massages. This "mandatory 20% tip" is not written on any of the menus or signs in the establishment and it was not mentioned prior to our service. When we questioned her about the mandatory tip, she adamantly requested a 20% tip regardless. I have never been asked for a larger tip at any establishment before, unless a gratuity fee was explicitly written or mentioned. Fortunately, we called the manager, who resolved the situation. Nonetheless, I was extremely disappointed at this interaction and will not be returning to this place again.

I usually request Jenny because her pressure is perfect for me, not too gentle and not too deep. The place is clean, the staff is friendly, and I appreciate that they're open late.

Like wtf does that mean? So I asked, 'What's that mean?' Lol! The guy yelled, "It's tip, it's tip!" Ok, 1st things 1st. If they knew 20% was due point blank period-for, a, tip... why in thee hell wouldn't they just fuckin' add it in the beginning when I had to pay 1st, if it was a legit service charge? Because...

I asked, why and how much i would be needing to tip? She responded it depends on what you want me to do to you. I immediately grabbed my hat and decided to leave.

The second red flag was the masseuse's asking me for the money in advance. The masseuse was generally pleasant. But, once she started the massage I knew I was not getting anything that resembled a deep-tissue massage. She was either really weak, or just didn't want to exert any effort. When she notified me that the 60 minutes were up, I looked at my watch to see that it had barely been a minute or two over 50 minutes. I guess 60 minutes may have passed since I walked in the door. But the first few minutes I was trying to get her out of the room while I changed -- very awkward. As I walked out, she said "tip" several times. She wasn't too thrilled I did not give her a tip. And, she let me know it with her tone and by shutting the door behind me. Needless to say, I won't be back. It's too bad -- I was really hoping for a good massage in a convenient location.

First, she is…read moresuch a kind, thoughtful person who genuinely cares about making you feel better and she has passion for her craft. Her room was comfortably warm and inviting, and the massage table was generous and cozy with soft, warm covers and a well padded face/headrest. I enjoyed the music as she worked her magic on my body. I wasn't sure what to expect with cupping, but after one therapy session I know I will want and need more. I can literally feel the changes occuring in the areas that have been long overdue for treatment. I carry a lot of stress and anxiety in my neck and shoulders. Jannet explained what was happening to the tissue and muscle as the cups were placed on my back and moved throughout the massage to treat different areas. There was no pain, just absolute relief. As I enter my 50's and face new challenges (aging, hormones, job stress, grief, and navigating an ever changing society) I find that what once worked to keep me happy, healthy and feeling my best has changed as well. I consider massage therapy to be healthcare, and self-care, and if you are considering Fine Massage I would absolutely recommend Jannet!

However, when we came in, we did not get greeted - like at all and it was unfortunate because there was two ladies at the front desk Yolanda and Amarie (Amarie was helping another customer and her service seem great. I wish she could've been the one helping us.) on the flyer for the package. There were some add-on services that I had inquired about and that girl Yolanda pretty much told me she didn't know and never got back to me. Didn't ask if Manny the masseuse did not look into it for me it would've been a bust. He offered an alternative service as far as a foot mask. That was an even better option for us so we were pretty thankful for that, but if I had left it up to the other girl, it would've just been when it was . confusion and a whole bunch of nothing Yolanda was the girl that helped us again no greeting She kind of just waved us to the back, pointed at the robes ask us our shoe size and that was really it Once we were changed standing there awkwardly, she walked me into a room and left my mom in the hallway and then asked me. Did you tell your mom to come -I looked at her like girl I don't even know what's going on so why would I tell her to come once we went to the room? It was like again we were kind of just sitting there like what's going on a few minutes later she brought in a glass of champagne for my mom so we hung out there for about 30 minutes before they took us back for the massage. I think it was a really big missed opportunity to say "hello Welcome to aqua blue. My name is so-and-so thank you for booking this package" or happy Mother's Day whatever but she literally didn't greet us at all. My mom looked bummed that it was starting off with a really lackluster experience I paid $400 for this package You would think once they saw my reservation for such a package they would've at least acknowledged it in some way By the time we got upstairs, I was pretty frustrated with the service we were receiving -thank goodness Ruben and Manny were really friendly and helpful. It probably would've been lower stars if Manny wouldn't have been so unbelievably sweet, caring and compassionate. My mom was really struggling getting off her jewelry and nobody would help her. I have really long nails so I was struggling. Manny was the only person nice enough to attempt to help her and put it back on after the massage was completed To be honest for $400 I was pretty disappointed. Manny did a great job and I am very thankful for him. My mom was really happy with Ruben. But did I feel like I was there getting a luxurious experience for Mother's Day absolutely not! Did I feel like we were bothering them with a groupon package absolutely! The advertise these chocolates that they had, I asked about them they didn't have any available. It just seemed like a lot of missed opportunities and we were there the day before Mother's Day so any of the ladies that went on actual Mother's Day We're probably super bummed that they didn't have any of the accoutrement offered. Sad part is the following weekend. I took my mom to happy feet down the street and she got a foot and neck massage and I got a neck and shoulder massage and the total was $70 and to be honest I felt more relaxed when I was leaving there, then I did with aqua blue . I'm kind of glad I decided to do that because honestly, I was going to book with Manny again because he was amazing but with those prices to not be happy was pretty unacceptable. My dad passed recently, so Mother's Day had proven to be harder than expected. That's why I wanted to do something extra special for her this year by booking the spa. We have been to massage envy before and that's honestly where I was gonna go this time, but I was trying to do an elevated experience that was outside of a corporate place but honestly, I think even the value at massage envy is greater than here because again with those prices to not be happy it's just crappy honestly it took me a while to write the review because I didn't want to seem Like I didn't enjoy the time with my mom. I absolutely did. I just didn't enjoy the lack of customer service- if I was paying what I paid over there at happy feet this would've been a five star review but $400 later to leave unsatisfied.... All I'm saying is I'm down to spend some money and I'm down to spend some good money on quality stuff. I just feel kind of ripped off.
