And then I asked her didn't you tell me it was $70 and she said tip tip tip that's all she was telling me tip tip tip. All of a sudden she could not speak any English and I was going to give her a tip but not $30. She ended up keeping it anyway because I had to go home and I didn't wanna sit there and argue with that lady. Needless to say, I would not be returning

I have had many massages in my lifetime, but none compared to The Uncommon Massage. First of all,…read morethe massage therapist and owner is a registered nurse. When I first went to her for a pre-natal massage, this was a huge deal to me and has been ever since. The owner's listening and communication skills far exceeded my expectations to focus the massage in the most needed places and with the right pressure. The environment of the room was incredibly relaxing, and I honestly felt right at home with the set-up of everything I needed. I highly recommend The Uncommon Massage as the best massage practice in Baton Rouge and am so excited to hear the hours have opened up to fulltime, so I can go there more frequently.

I said I want a 60min foot massage. I paid with cash and was given no receipt. Asked for a receipt and was told no receipt with cash. So I paid with a card instead and was charged $62. I didn't like paying upfront but paid and did not leave a tip. Decided to wait until after the service. I was told where my room was. I went into the room and waited and was then told to get naked. I exclaimed, "for a foot massage!?" The lady said yes. I obliged. As I was getting undressed she busted into the room without knocking and told me to take off my bra and panties too. She left back out. As I was removing those garments she came back in while I stood there naked. She had me get on the table in front of her naked. I know I should have left but I already paid and figured she's seen a million naked bodies, but geez completely unprofessional. I swear she only spent about 8-10 mins on my feet and it was not reflexology. Also twice during the massage she left the room and left the sheet only covering my butt crack. I told her the stones were too hot, she said I was sensitive. I literally turned my body twice to get the stones off of me. Overall, the massage wasn't good, she didn't listen, was completely unprofessional and I would never return. Lastly, as I was dressing to leave, she came back in before I finished and brought the credit card receipt and said, "tip?!" I couldn't believe it. I told her I would give a cash tip. She left the room. As I was walking towards the exit door, she was standing there waiting for the tip. I begrudgingly gave her one (because I'm too darn nice).

There's a lot of love and thoughtfulness put into her place. It's like she wants you to step into another dimension and make you forget anything in that toxic outside world! She's always very inquisitive about what I need... and she's got it! She's worked out my knots when I needed them, she's been very caring about me when I've had a heart issue going on and used certain aromatherapy for protection , and just my last one I wanted to use this massage as a more spiritual place for my mind... and she did that! (Of course massage is very spiritual relaxing to a meditative state) I definitely recommend hot stones and aromatherapy... it just ups the experience!!!! I can't say enough good things! I love Hands of Essence!

Renata and Philip were very thorough in making sure our needs were met! Renata even let us choose our own Music. We opted for a aromatherapy massages for relaxation and each massage amazing! They were attentive and 'very' thorough...the technique used was very professional and pleasant (especially b'c I tend to bruise easily) yet a day later no bruises!

Not realizing how knotted up my body was when I came in, Renata was able to massage me, relax me, then educate me regarding my body & the stress I was carrying. I came in for a relaxing massage, but instead I got a massage & very helpful information regarding my body!!!! Talk about a bonanza!!! Additionally, Renata further aided in my relaxation process by providing the level of modesty (regarding my body) that made me comfortable. Not many times does a therapist that takes the time to inquire about your comfort level; whether your 1st or 100th time, this can be an issue. My hot stone massage wasn't long enough, as I didn't want her to stop. From the top to the bottom, there wasn't area that was untouched by her. She made sure all my muscles received a fair amount of stimulation and "unkinking"; as I was truly full of knots. I found the pricing to be fair & in-line with the cost of similar services at other locations. I am super ecstatic about Hands Of Essence & this will now be my go-to-massage salon.

Finding the location was a little tricky, since our GPS got us stuck in the library's parking lot. Don't go that way if your GPS tells you!

They made us feel like comfortable and focused on the areas we pointed out to even. We can't wait to go back!
