It's safe to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my massage. First impression made me question my decision to come here. The low lighting and signs over the windows lead to the belief that the business is closed. Once inside, it's a relaxing atmosphere with gentle background music. There's a large partition separating the "communal massage" area from the lobby. There are several small rooms to the right, used for couples massages. Prior to your massage, the front desk lady provides a form for you to fill out. You provide information regarding level of pressure, areas of focus, medical conditions, etc. The masseuse may or may not follow the instructions. Following the form, the front lady tries to up-sell. The tipping sign may seem in poor taste to some people, but I think it's helpful for people that may not be familiar with tip etiquette following a massage. The couples room was nicely laid out and comfortable. The table, including the face rest, is very warm and comfortable. The masseuse gives very little time to undress and get situated. Once the background sounds, consisting of cell phone ringing/customer service/ringing bell, died out, the massage was amazing! The masseuse really tries to focus on each muscle group. She really had a lot of strength in her hands and wasn't afraid to put some elbow into it. I've really never had such a thorough massage. Massage over sheet, bare skin massage, hot towel.... absolutely perfect. The front desk lady takes away from the relaxing experience by entering the room at the end to attempt another up-sell. She should leave this to the masseuse rather than breaking the mood. I'm used to relaxing following a massage, but felt that I needed to quickly dress and leave.

This is NOT where their location is or looks like....it's in a small old house turned business in a random commercial area. Secondly this is not a ' spa'. This is an Asian massage place. Zero English. They hand you a marker and laminated sheet to mark which service you want, pressure 1-4 etc. if you need to communicate outside of that she has you speak into her iPhone translator and she reads what you said in her language. PRO's: The massage was excellent, $105 for 90 minutes. The table linens were laundered and smelled nice, and the room was clean, albeit old. Attached is a photo taken in my massage room. So if you want a good massage with zero and I mean Zero fluff..this is a good place.

We discovered Welty's on yelp and your past positive reviews guided our selection. Thanks for the tip. Overall, I was very impressed with the massage and service. My review is based on the overall environment and my massage, with Lu, the owner. Technique Lu provided a wonderful blend of traditional Chinese massage with Western teachings. The hot oil massage on the back was absolutely incredible. I have never had that provided before. This allowed her to get in deep very easily. She also rubbed a hot towel over my back to get the excess oil of my skin. Environment The place was clean and they provided a restroom if needed. The tranquil music is a plus, as is the bottled water after massage, and convenience of credit cards. The irritation factor The overall experience drops from 5 to 4 stars for me because I do not like having my massage interrupted so the owner can schedule future appointments or talk with walk-ins. I find this distracting and counter to enjoying a relaxing massage. Sadly, this is a very common practice with Asian massage places like this. I think it would be advantageous to have a friendly person handle those calls and walk-ins. Therapists would get better tips, customers would be happier and five star reviews would be more plentiful. One other oddity...we thought we were getting a foot massage but it ended up being a full body hot oil massage. The result was great and I am not complaining....was just a little surprised at first. All in all, I would definitely go back and recommend them.
