I personally don't care, I don't come here for relaxation, I come here for relief as I constantly have tightness in my neck and shoulders and knots all over. They are a little heavy handed with the massages and I love it! I need it and I yearn for it!! I will never go anywhere else as long as this place is around. They are skilled with their hands and I always leave feeling amazing. The prices can't be beat for this area and especially considering they use hot stones at the end without an added charge. I always tip their requested (now) 25% because the massage alone would cost me that much at other places in the area. The language barrier does make scheduling and communication a little difficult but again I don't care because the massages are worth it. They also now have a scheduler who speaks English well and answers the phone sometimes and books appointments. All in all I love this place and I highly recommend it to people who want or need a great deep tissue massage at a reasonable price.

When someone did open the door, it wasn't a friendly interaction. My masseuse was running late by 20 minutes and did not apologize. I told her that I had a specific pain and she did not address it during the massage. Afterwards she told me that I had bought a relaxation massage and not a therapeutic massage. If I had bought a therapeutic massage, she would've worked on the tender spot I had mentioned to her. I don't like how any of this went down. It was very uncomfortable there. The relaxation massage was indeed relaxing. She did good work for what it was. I will give her that. It just wasn't what I needed at the time.

I've never had a massage before, but after this experience I will definitely be getting more. I've never felt so relaxed in my life, and Trina was just great as a massage therapist. She explained the different types of massages, so I would recommend doing some research before purchasing a specific massage. I had a hour-long Swedish massage, and thoroughly enjoyed it - I nearly fell asleep on the table! Trina also operates out of a location at 44th/Chestnut, so since that's closer to my apartment, I'll be paying her my next visit at that location. Glad to have had this Groupon, and I'd recommend seeing Trina with or without one! My only criticism falls with the scheduling of the appointments - it took me three calls to get a human, but once I did I was able to schedule.

There is no funny business, so if that is what you are looking for, go elsewhere. I recommend calling ahead as the word is getting out how great she is. I have lots of back pain and shoulder tightness. I walk out feeling alert and pain free. I require lots of pressure to break up the knots, and although the owner is probably less than 100 pounds, she can deliver a lot of pressure when needed. I hope more people offer their experience as the one star is certainly not deserved!

I've gone to Sophia who owns Angel Spa and is the only masseuse there for 3 yrs now. I had bad back and trembling legs. I get a massage which is very inexpensive compared to big spas 2xs a month. Sophia has absolutely cured me of any aches or leg issues. She gives a full body massage from head to the bottom of your feet. Using oils and wipes you down with hot towels afterwards. Shes amazing. Shes owned and has been the only worker there for 3 yrs now. My son drives an hour from his house 2xs a month to get a massage. He's an athlete, and very toned but swears she's amazing. If you have specific areas to massage she will work on those first. Just let her know what's bothering you. Ive spent over 125.00 for massages at fancy spas and they don't even come close to her method. You seriously have to book an hour and call first. If she's with a client you'd have to come back. Do your body a favor and call and get one! Shes well worth a big tip also!!! Marital A. mentions things that don't even happen at sophia's spa. There is no kelly there. Never has been.

ZERO STARS: A couple…read moreof hours before my appointment I got a text from Trina which I've quoted below. "Good afternoon. I apologize for any inconvience. We need to reschedule your appt. Due to the power outages in the building yesterday the property management company are doing some emergency electrical work. What other evening this week is good for you." I immediately replied asking if I could come in tomorrow, but didn't get a response. So I called and left a voice message a few hours later. Still no response, and mind you this was still early on in the day. I eventually wound up sending her the text which I quoted below. "Hi, Since I haven't gotten a response from you these past 2 days in regards to rescheduling my appointment. After texting you, leaving voice messages and commenting on your Instagram account. I would like to be refunded my deposit. Thanks!" That got her to respond. - This deposit was labeled as an early access fee when I booked my appointment. Which I thought was strange. She claims she wasn't aware of it and had no evidence of it in her system.(even stranger) So I had to send her a screenshot of what I was talking about. She refunded me but what's annoying is that. When responding to me she simply responded saying what deposit. She didn't address the fact that I've made several attempts to reschedule my appointment and never got a response from her. Nor did she ask me about rescheduling. BEYOND UNPROFESSIONAL AND RUDE. And given the way she handled things I don't believe that there is really an issue at the building. She probably just didn't want to come in for my appointment!( And even if it were true. Why would you text me a couple of hours before my appointment. Instead of the day before when you firt knew of this issue.) I try to not let a few bad reviews detear me away from trying out an establishment. So when I saw them on the booking site and Google maps. I still decided to go ahead and book. Now here I am disappointed. NEVER AGAIN! I wouldn't come here if the appointment were going to be free! And I will be letting EVERYONE I know who's interested in the type of services she provides about my HORRIBLE experience! PS, SHE DELETED MY APPOINTMENT OFF OF THE BOOKING SITE SO I CAN'T LEAVE A REVIEW ON THERE!

I got a reminder text three days before the appointment, which was appreciated. Trina was so sweet, personable and friendly. She did an excellent job with the massage; immediately figured out if I was uncomfortable with a certain pressure or movement and asked how she could change it. I got a great scalp massage and the knot in my shoulder straightened out. I really liked how there was no push to sell me a package or membership at the end (which happens too often at spas), Trina just gave me her business card, told me about the specials, and invited me back. The location isn't fancy-it's homespun and very clean and inviting, with plenty of candles and soothing music. I didn't go home feeling any less pampered than I would have somewhere upscale- in fact, I got a better massage than I have at those places. I'll definitely be back.
