My boyfriend and I booked a couples massage on Sunday. We enjoy getting massages together and have…read morebeen looking for a place that offers couples massages. We left extremely disappointed. We booked deep tissue massages. My masseuse used way too much lotion, didn't apply any pressure and just aggressively rubbed oil onto my body. At one point, she intended to apply pressure to the arch of my feet (which are sensitive due to my plantar fasciitis) but her nails were not short so it felt more like being scratched. No one introduced themselves to us, they walked in while we were undressing without knocking or warning. During our massages, a bell kept going off. My masseuse walked out of the room 3 times, talking to someone about other clients. If I had been there alone, I would have walked out. This was the worst massage I've ever had. We will stick to VRC in Skokie. At least we receive quality massages.

I booked a 90-minute massage with hot oil and stones for my mom at VIP Foot Spa as a treat, and…read morepaid in full ahead of time with a generous 22% tip. When I called to schedule, the person on the phone was lovely and made me feel good about surprising my mom and she even complimented me for being a thoughtful daughter. Unfortunately, the experience on the day of the appointment was far from professional. At 10am (the scheduled time), I received a call saying the staff was stuck in traffic coming from Chicago and would be 30 minutes late. My mom had arrived early at 9:45, only to find the spa completely closed--despite signage saying they open at 10. No lights on, no staff present. She decided to wait, but the staff didn't show up until 10:37am. Whoever opened the door didn't seem to know who my mom was or what service she was there for, which was concerning since I had booked and paid well in advance. It was clear they were disorganized. Despite paying for a 90-minute massage, my mom only received 60 minutes. She said the massage was "okay," but it felt rushed--not the relaxing experience I intended for her. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing situation. If you're considering VIP Foot Spa, do not pay ahead, and manage your expectations. Their staff needs serious improvement in punctuality, organization, and customer service.

But was very difficult to understand. I can definitely be OK with heavy accents and other languages. That's not what bothered me at all. When we got there, five minutes before our appointment, there was a miscommunication, and she thought we were getting full body massages. Again, it was challenging to communicate, but we finally both understood. Our massages were run-of-the-mill. Nothing exciting or even fantastic. And at $60 for 30 minutes, I expected a ton more. I've had way way way better foot massages for much less $$ The place is small and a bit run down Parking may be an issue during high volume time as they share a space with other businesses. I won't be back but if you are looking for something close by and don't mind the costs they can be a decent option

Wow. Just wow…read more Immediately upon opening the doors i'm blessed with the soothing scents from their aromatherapy oils that are on shelves covering the wall. Right away as i opened the door, the kind lady rushed right away from the back and asked me right away, "Where is your pain?" I told her all my trouble spots and she told me exactly what i needed, a deep tissue massage. She then asked me if I had any allergies, and chose an oil for the treatment. As a person with many allergies and severe eczema-- she was asking all the right questions that I usually have to constantly remind masseuses about. You pay first, tip later, which is so smart and you pay for what you asked for right away and they won't randomly up charge you towards the end (which has happened to me all over the Glenview area) The massage was insane, in the best way. I'm so upset that despite living in this neighborhood for 21 years, i've never been to this massage spot. i always go to massages with my mom, aunt, and sister as our bonding. I've gotten massages in California numerous times, Philippines, Taiwan, and many more places. Also as we are healthcare workers, our physical pain so deep cut. But i'm genuinely shocked and how well my body feels after the massage. After working 12 hour shifts for days on end-- THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED. When my massage started she right away went into my trouble spots which was my neck and shoulders, i could already feel her target my knot on the first touch, and i was shocked at how quickly she released the tension. She masterfully uses her elbows and joint areas to target the knots and tension in between my scapula and my sternocleidomastoid and sternothyroid muscle. 20 minutes in she told me "you need cupping, it's good for you" I know better and so i just shut up agreed to what she said and said, "Yes ma'am." And wow. It was my first time cupping so honestly i was scared but she is so skillful that it didn't hurt at all. It felt like she was hitting the pressure point to release the tension in that area, and 3.5 years of pain from laborious work was fixed in a one hour session. She kept going and massaging me, asking me if my pain was gone and only stopped when my pain was gone. Amazing, mind blown, go here. I really want to gate keep this place to myself but wow. One of the best massages I've had in my whole life.

Second, that's how I knew it was going to be a good massage! Good Asian food & massages are better when they barely speak English & have bad customer service lol I had to call a few times to get an appointment. I noticed she doesn't like to make appointments in advance, I got an appointment the day of. I go to the chiropractor every month, but my back still aches, so my chiropractor actually recommended getting massages. I had the combo massage for an hour at $80 & it felt way longer than an hour! Assumed this was half Thai & regular massage, which was great because last Thai massage I had elsewhere was SO PAINFUL. She started by standing on my back and dug her toes in & cracked my back in 4 different places! That's when I knew it was gonna be good! She cracked me in places I didn't even know could be cracked! She asked if I liked it hard in the beginning, so if you don't like it hard just let her know. I like it hard and this was almost perfect.. Thai massages I just assume are slightly more "hard" so I expected it to be, but wasn't overbearing. I must've had a tight right shoulder because she was massaging that area a lot & was relentless until it loosened up. She does full body front & back. She even cracked my neck & sides like my chiropractor does. It was an overall great massage. I actually plan on making this my massage place now. Will be coming back every other month for this massage! Heads up, she does answer the phone during massages which ruined the "zen" but didn't bother me as much. Also felt bad because the person on the phone couldn't understand her thick accent. She was like yelling "see you at 6 pm!" I assume she looses some clients over this.. If you have a bad back, I think Thai massages is the only thing that works. I spent around $130 for a Himalayan rock massage at another place & it was terrible. They just rubbed the rock on my body for an hour & did not touch me once! So hole in the wall Asian places is much better than the boujee massage parlors I been to.
