I had heard so good things about this place so I called on a whim yesterday when I was feeling…read morestressed & got a 1 hour massage w "C C" . ( price is very fair 80$ an hour- there is a 4% surcharge to use cards, so bring cash to save & don't forget to tip I asked for a NMT ( Neuromuscular Therapy massage ) which is stronger than most - and CC didn't disappoint! I was surprised at how strong she was . CC used her arms as well as hands for a deep soothing , almost stretching at times massage . She even pulled my fingers and I felt them pop ! That was so relaxing! This neck thing she did by pulling upward was also amazing ! As someone else has mentioned - English isn't the first language here so there are menus on the wall when you walk in - you point at the amount of time you want , the different types of massage ( Swedish , hot stone etc ) be sure you are clear . There is a clock that has a timer in your room - and you do get the ENTIRE hour! (Most places give you 45 min .) if you want lavender or coconut oil it's an extra 10$ ( I am not big on scents so didn't add this ) It was honestly the best massage I've had in Birmingham! CC is amazing ! And there is a system to how she worked ( I tried to point out my shoulders hold most tension & not sure she understood completely- but she covered EVERYTHING! She used a warm oil at one time and even took care to make sure my hair was covered w a towel ) They have a massage here I've never seen offered elsewhere in Bham -where they walk on your back ! ( I noticed the bars over the table where they hold on as they do this I think a lot of men must like this. ) . I didn't want that because I'm a 63-year-old woman. I would definitely use CC again. ) I cant recommend this place highly enough- BUT you need to be very clear about what you want -because as I said, English is not their first language . Someone left a bad review and mentioned that it looked dirty. (?) and not fancy enough compared to a Bham spa -I can tell you they don't spend their money on fancy furniture , but it is in a nice part of town. ( Vestavia ) i prefer to spend my $ on the actual massage as I have had some very bad massages at some very " fancy " spas and hotels . The entire placd was clean & simple . They had a hygienic face cover in place for me to place my face on.- the room is dark and calming w zen music I saw someone said they didn't think these people were LMT but of course they are licensed I didn't have to look at the degree to tell CC had been trained as a LMT . I have had friends that visited here & recommended to me & Im so grateful. There's not much talking during the massage but I could tell she was reacting to my sounds or if I moved ( etc ) if I said " that feels nice ", it was a strongest massage I have ever had from a woman , but she didn't hurt me I asked for your "Neuromuscular Therapy Massage" ( NMT )which is much stronger than a Swedish . I have never had a better massage ! I will be coming back here regularly. They're a wonderful place and no , they're not "fancy "if you want to pay $100 extra to go to a spa - you do you ! I have been getting massages in Birmingham for the last 20 years and I can tell you this is by far the best massage I've ever gotten . I look forward to trying the hot stone, Swedish & a foot massage soon! It's very easy to find and parking is simple - I called and asked for a massage at 2 pm - I wasn't asked to to fill out a bunch of forms and I was taken straight back.

Highly recommend Woodhouse Day Spa, and definitely ask for Quanette!

I choose Moscato wine and I also had some water Dandi was my masseuse and she was fabulous. The room was gently lit with some amazing spa music.

With the holidays, trips, and birthdays in full swing, my back started to feel very tight and achy…read more Instead of waiting two days for an appointment where I usually go, I booked the first thing that I could find for the next day. Huge mistake! Upon going into my room, Chance asked me if there were any specific concerns. I told him that I wanted to do the traditional Swedish massage with aroma therapy, thinking the relaxation would help my back. As i proceeded to mention the muscle tightness, he didn't let me finish and told me to undress to my comfort and left. I should have left then. As he massages my back area, I realize there has to be knots there, and my back feels better when massaged in a certain area. I ask him if he could feel any, and he says oh yes. I asked him if that was bad, and he said it's subjective. Well thanks Mr. Professional. That helps me understand a lot. As he finishes my legs, he tells me to turn over. I ask if we could just focus on my back because it was my main area of concern. He rudely says we will after I turn over. I turn over, and he proceeds to massage my leg. Before he starts on my second leg, I ask again if we could focus on my back and neck area. He said we will finish up there and proceeds to massage both of my arms. When he finally makes it to my neck, with little time left, I ask if I can turn back over because it was hurting. He says if I turn over it will hurt worse and he proceeds even though I'm in obvious pain. At this point, saying anything is pointless as I've been rudely dismissed from the start of this session. When this nightmare and total waste of money is over, I get dressed. As I exit the room and began to walk down the hallway, he laughs. I chose to ignore it as I don't waste my energy with that type of behavior. I wish I had of waited the two days to go where I usually go. One thing is for sure, I will never return to this place or any Massage Envy ever again. My time, money, and referrals will go where I'm treated like a decent, paying customer.

This was hands down the worst massage I have ever had. Chance was recommended by the receptionist…read morewhen I called so I booked with him. I've never had a male massage therapist so wasn't sure what to expect. I had spoken with the front desk before my appt. and the guy I spoke with was so kind and made a particular comment. I also thought he said he'd be doing my massage....When Chance came in the room I asked if he was the person I spoke with on the phone and he said rather abruptly WE (as if he's a special breed) don't man the phones.' He left while I undressed and then returned. Never a word was spoken which is my preference but he was ROUGH. Thinking maybe my muscles needed this, I tried to tolerate it for a bit but said 'ouch' out loud probably 3 times....no response. Then I'm shaking crying and when I could finally take it no more, I said 'Okay...that's all I can take.' He quickly responded 'Fine. If you want to end the session here I'll meet you up front.' He wasn't up front but the kind young man I apparently spoke with was. He asked me how I felt. I told him I felt as if I'd been beaten up and because this was a prepaid gift card, I left immediately. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE OR AT THE VERY LEAST, THIS THERAPIST.
