Super nice!! I gave…read morethem a call and booked a massage in 15 min. The place has a nice atmosphere and everyone was sweet. I only booked a 30 min foot massage because I've never been here before but after my experience I want to book a longer massage!

Before buying he Eversave voucher I read the reviews. Seemed like booking was an issue for many,…read moreso I checked online booking before my purchase. There was, coincidentally, one available time that worked for me but I noticed, at least with the owner Jessica, that there were times in April total and then nothing else available until well after the voucher expired. I didn't check the dates for the other therapists, so there might have been more availablity there and I was specifically looking for 90-min deep tissue massages so that might have narrowed the available dates. I had something else at the time of this appt, but it was somethign that was easily rescheduled so I took the only available weekend appointment (April 7 at noon) and rescheduled my other thing. A day or so before my appt I got an email asking if I could possibly come later because of a scheduling issue ("overlap via another therapist"). I could not because of my own schedule, so I suggested that I could some early. It was agreed that I would come at 11. I didn't have an intial email reminder (I had an online confirm that I copied and pasted to my calendar so I didnt' look for it either until later - see below - and the updated reminded had a start time but not an end time - also relevant later.) The waiting space is less spa and more office, which, whatever, I'm not there for a lush waiting room. There is no receptionist or anything so if you arrive and there is a door closed please show some courtesy and remain quiet until it is your turn. The therapy room is quaint, like a tiny bedroom, and the atmosphere is relaxing. I did notice at one point during my massage that the music was *very* Christian which would not be my preference but I don't know if that was the therapists choice or if it was just Pandora doing what Pandora sometimes does when you like one song so whatever. The massage, itself, was excellent. It is difficult to find therpists who do quality deep tissue work but Jessica Bissionette is on her game. Assuming you think the price is right for you and you can actually get the appointment you want, if you're in the area, this might be the therpist for you if you like really deep work. I noticed she asked me to flip over sooner than I had expected, but she was doing her thing and I don't necessarily need exactly 45 minutes on each side so I shrugged it off. However, at promptly 12, she stated I was done and walked out. It seemed short, but it took me a minute to really get my bearing and take in the time. I didn't feel cheated, I was just confused. I called for her but she must have gone to the ladies room so I waited and called some more. Eventually she came back and was surprised I was not dressed and ready to leave. I pointed out the time and figured she had not noticed and made a mistake but she stated I was only booked for an hour. After I was dressed she came back in and proceeded to explain to me why she could not have possibly made a mistake and this scheduling issue was entirely my fault unless I could prove otherwise. Um. WHAT? Note that I actually wrote the two paragraphs of this review a MONTH AGO as they happened, so I'm not dealing with poor memory or the like, HOWEVER, even if I was, even if this was entirely my fault (which is wasn't), taking that much time to explain to me why she can't possibly be wrong was in exceptionally tacky and unacceptable. Had she merely said something like "I'm not sure what happened but I'll be in tuch and we'll work about a fair resolution," I'd have gone about my day without having been annoyed and been fine. Later in the day I received an apology for the error, which had it ended there would have resolved all of my issues, but, instead, it proceeded to reiterate how the mistake couldn't possibly have been on their end. The resolutions offered were: a) come back for a 30 minute massage another time - I am at least 30 minutes away and I find 60 minutes to be too short so... no. b) come back and book a 60 minute massage and get the extra 30 added on - I already pay $85 for a 90 minute massage for an EXCELLENT therapist that never has any scheduling issues closer to my house that alwasy has superb customer service (see my other massage reviews!) so ... no. or c) She'll refund me $10 because Eversave only gives her half of the voucher price. I decided since my purchase was with Eversave, I'd turn to them for remediation for the difference between vouchers. Their response was more than I'd expected and I'm grateful for their excellent customer service. So, in short. 5 star massage but at high end prices in a low end venue. 1 star customer service.

After purchasing a Buywithme coupon for 2 visits, I had such a hard time making an appointment…read more(there were limited slots available and they were all very far in advance). I thought I booked an appointment for a certain day and sent my boyfriend down there, he was told they overbooked and to rebook. I do not know if it was an error on my part or on their side but we were "reminded" of an appointment that we had not booked, and by the time I called it was too late to cancel. I emailed with Jessica asking what our options were, and by the time she got back to me it was after the appointment time and I was told we would lose the coupon amount for one massage. If that was the case and she got back to me before the massage time I probably would have left work to take it instead of losing the coupon. I then informed Jessica that I had emailed Buywithme and they were able to give me a credit for the coupon and I would no longer be needing her services. She then informed me that she would be contacting Buywithme to tell me that the error was my fault and I did not deserve a credit. This is my first negative review on Yelp, I'm sure the massages are great, but the attitude and appointment inconvenience was not worth my trouble. I will go to the Cortiva massage institute in Watertown for a $30 1 hour massage (if you book online), and they always have slots available.

This is one of the worst places that I have ever gone to…read more First, the place is hidden behind a store. When you walk up, it's an old house, that's not in very good shape. You walk in to the main waiting area to "check in" and pay. If it's not too busy, there may be 1 or more providers just hanging around in the front room...something you never see in a more traditional massage facility. If you have an appointment with a specific provider, she will will escort you to a room. If you don't have an appointment, you will be assigned one of the providers hanging out in the front room. NOTE: There's a reason they're hanging around in the front room and don't have set appointments...clients don't wish to schedule with them...so you get what you pay for. You are escorted to one of their rooms. I have been in several of the rooms, including one in the basement. More times than not, these rooms are not the nicest. And then there's the massage. What can I say...they are nothing more than a basic rub-down. Although to be fair, of the handful of massages that I have had there, I did have one provider who provided an above average massage. I'm not sure if all of the providers are licensed massage therapists. Perhaps you should ask to see the provider's license when you enter the room? At any rate...this should be the last place you should go for a massage.

The interior isn't quite up to the standards of the highest-end spas downtown, but it's clean, pleasant, and very relaxing.
