Like so many other folks, I booked online, which was super easy. I didn't bother looking at her…read morereviews, though, before I bought the Groupon. I should have. I couldn't wait. What could be better than a deep tissue massage AND a foot scrub? I planned my whole day around the soonest appointment I could get. I blocked off my own schedule, so I would have no clients today. It was going to be a self-care day. I rushed home from a nice lunch with a friend to plan how I was going to get there. I do not own a car, you see, so I take car2go during the week and rent a car on the weekends. You can't drop a car2go in Roseville, so I had to take the bus from Saint Paul. A 20-minute bus ride, with about 10-minute bike ride in below-freezing weather. All to get to my massage appointment I was so eagerly anticipating. By the time I arrived my fingers were numb and my face was red from the cold. I was SO looking forward to the warmth of a cozy massage table. And on the door, I see a sign (among a bunch of other, unprofessional, handwritten notes taped to the door) that said they had closed early today. I wish I had taken a photo. I never received even so much as a cancellation notice -- or a phone call. I really hate to write a one-star review for a small business, but eff you, Rapha Therapy. A very fundamental part of being a professional is actually showing up for your appointments. I understand life throws occasional curve balls, but if you need to "close early" on a consistent basis -- and since so many people have reviewed that you do, it looks like this is a pattern -- you should probably NOT be doing this work. NOTE: I didn't see inside, but the handwritten notes taped all over the front door screamed "this is a dump" to me. Not a place i would want to get a massage, since the scribbled notes all over the door makes me question not only her ethics, but her sanitary standards too.

I bought a Groupon for a 90-minute massage and 15-minute foot scrub. When I arrived, the therapist…read morewas a bit curt, and wasn't ready (I waited while she tried to print paperwork that she wanted me to fill out). They have signs posted in the office stating that Groupon made an error, and that the foot-scrub is included in the massage time, not an "and" like advertised. I was surprised, but the price was cheap enough I didn't argue it. The music in the massage room was upbeat classical, not very relaxing. The massage itself wasn't amazing, wasn't awful, just average. Except that we ended after 65 minutes. Not cool.

The best thing about this place is of course the masseuse. Colleen is absolutely professional and she has very strong smooth hands. I like deep tissue massage because it helps alleviate the tightness around my shoulder area from being an office slave. Her massage is so relaxing and it makes me feel satisfied in the end for spending the money to pamper myself. To be honest, I have been to the aveda school and every time I give that place a chance I always go home feeling sorely unsatisfied because the massage is just subpar even though it's cheap and the product smells so darn good. Pay more and go see Colleen. There were some mix up with the schedule the last time I went to see her but she rectified the situation immediately. Note that her hours are not accurate on Google. Contact her directly. She really should get that info updated online soon.

Anyways, the massage was actually good, my friend and I opted for the 90 minute full body massages which were pretty affordable for the length of time ($110). I actually fell asleep twice which is a good sign lol. The main issues I had were with the noise levels. Instead of it being soothing and quiet, the masseuses kept stopping to answer the phone during the massages (in the room) and were having constant conversations with each other (occasionally laughing). I don't think with all of the interruptions that it was actually a 90 minute massage, probably closer to 75 minutes. I think Zen could benefit from hiring a receptionist. While they apologized for all of the noise when we were leaving, it sounds like from other reviews this is pretty normal. Again, they gave a great massage, but it was a little chaotic in there!

BOO. WTH. OK, so I bought this through my Living Social coupon. I did get a GREAT first massage…read morewith Jason. However, when I booked my second massage a month later, they ended up rescheduling this 3-4 months later. They didn't even call me - I HAD TO CALL THEM to confirm the appointment that morning only to find it was cancelled. SO, I rescheduled it for September 27, 2016 (about 3 months later AGAIN). I called that morning to confirm, and they said their contract with Living Social was canceled... likely b/c they were flaky and unable to fulfill any appointments! So no massage for me 4-6 months after buying this initial Living Social coupon. Really frustrating - small businesses shouldn't offer Living Social and Groupon discounts if they CAN'T LIVE UP TO IT! Changed from a 5 star to a 1 star. BOO. PS The phone number on the website (651) 200-4302 is also disconnected - sounds like the business is going down...The number on Yelp 651 239-9667 still reaches someone, however. Well, when they pick up...

My husband tried to contact them immediately to set up an appointment and had to call several times to get ahold of anyone since no one returned any calls. When he finally spoke to someone, they said they were booked up through the end of August (which is when our deal expired). They agreed to book an appointment for us on September 26th at 11 a.m. and still honor the LivingSocial discount. We arrived at 10:45 a.m. for our appointment because my husband had a bad feeling about this place after his experiences. The office is in a converted apartment building, and could not feel less like a legitimate business. We locate the office suite for this business, which is supposed to be open at 10:30 a.m...every light in the office is off and the shades are drawn. We wait around, just so we could be sure to knock at 11 a.m. in case someone was running late. No one comes. We were never called to be told there would not be an appointment. I peered in through the windows, there is not a piece of furniture in that office so I am sure they either went out of business without notifying anyone or they were never a legitimate business to begin with. For what it's worth - LivingSocial is useless in helping with this issue. They advised that since it's beyond the expiration date of the deal, we need to work directly with the merchant. Well, based on what I saw with my own eyes, we're just out the money.
