This review is going to sound terrible, but please stay until the end…read more I could not wait for my massage to end. My masseuse had THE STRONGEST hands I have ever encountered in a masseuse. I've been getting massages for 15+ years. He dug so deep that he hit places I didn't even know were in pain. It was delightfully and surprisingly uncomfortable in the best way possible. He asked if I was okay and if I needed less pressure, but I told him to keep doing his thing. I walked in with a body that felt 10 years older than it is and left with a body that felt like it was 20 years younger. He released so much tension I actually hugged him. I could have cried (not from the pain haha). Not only was the massage great, the prices were some of the best I've seen in a while. I don't live close, but I will return.

For $55 I got a foot and body combo. This could become my second home. No need to sell the family farm for a decent massage. There were big puffy chairs and I got my feet soaked while my masseuse gave me a scalp massage. The style is Chinese and the pressure was perfect. I love a massage that doesn't require you to undress. This was absolutely amazing. They do have some back rooms with tables for an oil massage, but honestly, this was great. They had 4 masseuses working. All of them looked good. They all seemed solid. I can't wait to return with my husband. Lisa was my masseuse and Kathy the woman at the front desk were both wonderful!

Do Not Visit -- My Wife Was Victimized During a Valentine's Day Massage…read more My wife and I booked a 1‑hour massage (30 minutes foot, 30 minutes back) on Valentine's Day to celebrate our anniversary. We were both placed in rooms near the front entrance. The therapist assigned to my wife behaved in a way that left her feeling violated and humiliated. What happened: * During the session he repeatedly moved too close to intimate areas. * He insisted she remove her shirt and bra for a back massage after she said she was not comfortable doing so. * He left the room without providing proper draping; when he returned he only gave her a bath towel and did not provide adequate coverage. * Her room had no door, only a small curtain, and was located near the front door where people were coming and going. This made the situation especially exposing and distressing. * By contrast, I was never asked to remove my shirt and was properly draped while the therapist worked my back. My wife left feeling victimized, embarrassed, and very upset. This ruined our anniversary and Valentine's Day. I am seriously considering filing a formal complaint and possibly pressing charges. Warning to other customers: Be cautious, especially women. This establishment failed to respect my wife's boundaries and provided inadequate privacy and draping. This happened at 5pm, time noted for evidence purposes.

I got the Thai Therapeutic Bodywork which was on a platform and my body has NEVER FELT BETTER!!!!! I cant remember the name of the sweet lady I had but she was AMAZING! She really dialed into my body to feel the knots and kinks and took the time to massage them, use hot stones and various stretching techniques to work them out. I was also super impressed with the perfect amount of pressure she used and she checked in periodically to make sure I was ok ;) I love a great massage but cannot tell you how many places I have gone that claim to do "bodywork" and its just a decent massage.

I've tried it a few times and the quality of massage has gone drastically downhill while the prices have gone up. The reason for my one star review is because the last time I went in there with my mom I had the absolute worst massage I've ever had. We both did the 60 minute foot massage and about half way through I was wishing it would hurry up and end. That's never happened to me with any other massage!!! Even mediocre massages are usually worth it to me but this one was really that bad. I was so happy when the hour was up. I hoped it was just my masseuse but my mom said she had been feeling the same about hers as well. Trust me... this is not the place to go for hour next massage.

At the beginning of the massage they soak your feet in warm water and cover your face and body with a towel. It is called a foot massage but they massage your entire body including your scalp. I have been here three times now and their quality and customer service is great. They take care of you and the owner is friendly. He usually works at the front counter. On my recent visit, I called to make a same day appointment for my mom and I. The owner answered the phone and was able to accommodate us at the time we requested. The prices have increased $5 due to covid, but it is still affordable. Foot massages are $35 for an hour. All of the massages are with clothes on. It is located in a small strip mall with plenty of parking. They accept cash, Venmo, and credit cards.

From the moment I walked in, the space felt like such a treat -- soft pink hues, crisp white accents, and a decor that's equal parts calming and chic.

She walked me through exactly what to expect with the Procell treatment, answered all my questions, and made the whole experience feel personal rather than clinical.

I'll absolutely be back, and I already can't wait for my next appointment with Carina!
