I finally decided to try and get some natural help since medication and doctors didn't seem to work and just wanted to give me more meds. I found Charles from Basic Elements Message, and as i usually am, i was very skeptical if this would help. I explained my situation to him and asked if there was anything he thought he could do to help. He assured me that he could try several different techniques to help give me some relief. well, it's been about a month since I started this venture, and I'm very happy I did. Charles is a professional and has shocked me with his ability to give me the relief i had been seeking. My wife says I sleep all night, and I agree. I wake up feeling refreshed. As an unexpected bonus, I'm not snoring anymore either. I expect that's from finally getting good sleep. I would recommend you at least give it a shot. I highly recommend Basic Elements and hope you are able to get some of the relief I have received.

When making the reservation for my pregnant wife (as a surprise, no less), I was told that my purchase did not include a prenatal massage. After some discussion, the owner reluctantly decided to honor the Groupon and give her a massage. After the phone call, I went back to the Groupon site to figure out what I had missed, since I was after all, searching for a prenatal massage. Nothing. It was a completely unnecessary runaround I received for a kind gesture for my wife. Now, I believed that everyone deserves a second chance and that we should give her a try once more. Big mistake. Seven months later, I wanted to treat my wife to another massage. We called and left messages (with a call back number) numerous times over several weeks and received no response. After reaching out to Groupon, contact was miraculously made and we were told that we were the ones not answering. Wondering if our phones may have been causing the problem all along, we went to our phone records-nothing yet again. No calls were ever received from this business, especially at the alleged dates and times. To make matters worse, after calling to set up the appointment, instead of accepting our business and informing us of the unwritten policy, we were denied being able to make an appointment simply because we purchased through Groupon. Absolutely insane. I don't normally write reviews like these, since I understand and have plenty experience in sales and customer service and know firsthand what it is like dealing with ungrateful patrons, yet my wife and I are pretty understanding and educated people and avoid trying to fit into that category. What's worse is a business owner thinking that talking to patrons in a demeaning way is going to grow a customer base. I will conclude with this; I do believe a person gets what they pay for, but in trying to support a local business, I have eaten my own words. Pay the extra money or drive the extra distance to a PROFESSIONAL masseuse in Raleigh or Fayetteville. Find one with more than one good review, which was likely to have been written by a friend or family member. Use our experience to avoid any potential heartache or monetary loss in doing business with A Touch of Tropics.

Not only did Darlene schedule the 2 different sessions 3 hours apart, but she failed to respond to my wife's text message noting the significant time difference. She then made her wait a half hour at reception just to tell her that she'd moved all her other appointments forward. We both took time out of our schedules for this, just to be refused service. Maybe their work is outstanding, we wouldn't know, but the customer service and communication is substandard, as such we'll find another salon.
