She was able to find tension spots in my back and legs that I didn't even know existed. I'm a bigger girl, so I was a bit nervous going in and sometimes feel uncomfortable in my body, but Nara was incredibly respectful and made me feel completely at ease. I was so happy with the results that I've already booked another appointment for next week. 15/10--highly recommend!

My husband surprised me with a 90 min couples massage for my birthday. I was super excited as we…read morehad massages in and outside of the country. However, this place is not a place for us. Upon arrival there is a tall staircase in order to enter the business. Though this wasn't a problem for us, keep in mind if you have any disabilities. They also make you take your shoes off and slip into slides. Once again no big deal, but bring socks. Upon actually entering the waiting area, they had my husband pay right away, which I thought was a huge red flag. In all the massages we've had, we've never paid first. There was also a 3% fee for using a card despite our total being over $200+. We get into the room, located right by the entrance and it is freezing. My husband's bed was warmed, however mine was not. I have never seen or heard of a heated massage table, but with a drafty window a portable heater would have solved this issue. When the two massage therapists entered they did not greet themselves and started saying something in another language. Mine asked me light or strong. I told her medium as that is what I have always requested from other locations. After that she noticed the bed wasn't warmed, attempted to fix it, but it was broken: WE WERE NOT ASKED OR INFORMED we were getting a DEEP tissue massage. Considering what a deep tissue massage entitles, they also did not ask other important questions like areas of concern or injuries. The massage started with some oil and hot stones and quickly progressed to pain. All I kept thinking was what type of massage did my husband book. I grimaced, flinched, and yelped in pain. My person's only response was "oh you're sensitive" and she continued at the same strength/depth. 90% was jamming her elbow into every possible pressure point and directly into my bones. This was not only the most painful massage I have ever had, but the second most painful and traumatic experience in my life; internal bleeding being my number one. I have a high pain tolerance and not sensitive to pain. Even more than that, she did not respect that I left my panties on and pulled them down and lifted them up. I'm immediately cried when she finally finished and on the entire way home. To say the least my masseuse did not receive a tip. I'm on muscle relaxers and have multiple bruises. I will never be back and regret not sitting up and ending it. Everything from the base of my skull to my legs hurt; to put it in perspective I weigh 135 pounds and 5'5". IF you book a couples massage with them, do not assume you are getting a Swedish massage like most places, despite there being no option to select.

The only reason I didn't give five stars is that there is a number of interruptions. She will answer the phone for customers during the massage. This happens 1-3 times during a massage. She is quick and on the phone less then a minute. So it disrupts the serenity of the massage. And the doorbell can ring often. So if that is an issue then this isn't the place for you. But if that's ok for you it's an amazing massage.

This place is for those of us who need an elbow to dig into the knots in our shoulders and strong hands to activate and soothe nerves in our feet. We have been looking for a new place for reflexology and clothed massages for a year. (You can look through my profile to see why we no longer go to an establishment in VH.) This might be our new go-to. For $39 you get an hour on a table, fully clothed, in a communal, dimly lit room. Half of the time is spent with reflexology on the feet and the rest of the time is on the rest of the body. You can ask for a softer touch, but my husband and I were looking for a place that knows how to use strong pressure. It was clean, and it appeared each client had fresh towels.

My friend had canceled her membership once she got into residency in NY, because she knew she was moving. She went in person and filled out the cancellation form. Months later she realized that she was still being charged. They would not provide a refund and claim that she did not cancel because their process is to process the cancellation and then shred the form! You don't even get a copy of your form. I made sure to take a picture of my cancellation form so that they can't pull the same thing on me.

And the manager Carla was trying to gaslight and say that my sister never signed it. When I cancelled mine, I had to wait 30 days before it went into effect, which is a wild policy-- I don't want to participate in your business, and I'm not trying to.
