My skin has been super dry and dull lately, plus I got a terrible night of sleep on the plane, so I was beyond glad Chi Yu was able to take me as a walk in. Noriko was so sweet and friendly, as was the lady who checked me in at the front (I didn't get her name). The facility is clean and cozy, offering tea or water when you arrive. The facial with products includes eminence products which all smelled and felt incredible. They also specialize in Japanese Cosmo Lifting Massages and Noriko integrated some of that into my facial, which was great and something new for me. The facial was so relaxing I'm pretty sure I fell asleep. I'll definitely make this my spot whenever I'm in London!

I was dreaming of some relief and started to do a quick search on Yelp for somewhere quite near my office. Nothing too laborious as my day was packed...so just a quick tune-up via chair massage was in order. Chi Yu to the rescue! Lovely staff and very welcoming. From making the appointment, to arrival, and situation all the way to checkout and bidding them adieu, everyone was so very nice. Somewhat sad that this is not a given, but in London it certainly isn't! This makes Chi Yu stand out. I made an appointment for same day with Rie, who was great. I was escorted downstairs to the treatment area, and given 30 minutes of chair massage. Brilliant, just what I wanted. She was very communicative and definitely helped ease the tension. I probably need one every day for a month to really work it out, but this really helped. I took a menu and will definitely be back. Really like the vibe of this place, the atmosphere (also SUPER clean), and the service offerings. Facials, beauty + Wellness massage, reflexology, Thai massage, etc. £15 (plus a bit extra for Rie) --- well worth it.

I went in to address some tightness that I have been experiencing as a result of a nagging cycling injury now aggravated by waking in London for two day. I did not make an appointment but dropped and rang the bell. It does not look like they are set for drop-in appointments. They did see me, but it took a while to prep while I was on the table. I explained my issue and the focus to be the lower half. However the effort was put into my shoulders despite the comments about the legs. There was a combination of standing on me (this was a new experience for me - not a fan) and forearm and elbows. There was very little hands being used. Here is the worst part. She used a menthol rub. It was so heavy and overpowering. As she rubbed my legs with this embrocation it got on the sheets. When I turned over the part of the sheet with this product got in my man parts. That was comfortable to say the least. Add insult to injury, not only did she start late she finished a little early. What did I learn today? If you want your junk to burn with menthol, get some from the store for a fraction of the price and do it yourself. You will be much bette

I was thoroughly impressed with Hanna who was super-polite and professional, as well as looking as cute as a person can possibly be! She really got in there with the crazy knots I was carrying and put some serious welly into cracking them up. I'm not that experienced with Thai massage and she was careful to ask how much pressure I wanted and where I preferred to be focused on most (so crucial for a masseuse to ask!) The little touches also impressed me: a heated blanket so that the table was warm when I clambered on, and the softest eye towel to cover my face when I turned over. Mostly I felt pampered and catered to... she even spent an extra few minutes on me, past the allotted hour, making sure that I really felt looked after :D

Let's take a little step back.. When I was a kid we had a family masseuse and she was amazing, literally her hands did wonders to how you feel and how you look. And since I lived away from home I couldn't find that same feeling and tried expensive spas, cheap places - everything, so I was about to give up. Now, if you are like me - like deep tissue massage (I was practically raised on it) then you will absolutely love Joseph. Even I had to tell him to notch down the pressure a bit. And that never happened since I moved - I was always asking for more pressure and making every masseuse sweat with their work. The only downside is it's a bit cold inside - so just ask for extra blanket if you are cold. Sport massage for 1 hr cost £40 there - and I can't get wait to get mine again tonight! Funnily enough Joseph told me, he charges £70 for the same thing in another salon in Bank station area in the City. It's not a flashy, sleek place, it's a converted upper ground floor flat just 3-4 minutes walk from Wood Green station, but if you want cheap but quality treatment with nice staff - go there and you won't regret.

Walked in yesterday to ask about the price for accupressure. The lady at the counter told me that…read moreit would be 55 GBP and to fill out a form. I filled out the form and the doctor saw me right away. He did a 3-5 minute assessment of my shoulder issue and then had me lay on the table and proceeded to do acupuncture, which is not what I came in for. I decided to let it go and he put a bunch of needles in my shoulder and neck. Then had me roll over and did the same to the front. I will say that I my frozen shoulder did feel 50% better BUT he kept mentioning that he recommended me to take herbs to help for 5 weeks at 70 GBP per week. I declined. Then when I went to leave another person was at the counter with a bunch of herbs already bagged up told me the same that the doctor recommended the herbs for 5 weeks. I said no, and he said that there is a discount so the 5 weeks would cost 50 GBP per (250 GBP) I declined and as I went to leave he told me that the 55 GBP was for the consultation and that the acupuncture was 90 GBP. In the past month I've had acupuncture done in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco . This was more expensive than ANY of these cities. I think that the doctor was good, but the practices of the office leaves much to be desired. None of the other acupuncture places that I went to ever suggested herbs for the muscles in my shoulder. One sold me a muscle balm, which makes more sense. Beware
