I wanted to like this place, I really did. I received a gift certificate for Christmas and made myself an appointment for a 90 minute massage for a Friday evening . I walked into the studio and was somewhat taken aback at how cluttered and shabby the place was. Nonplussed though I was, I realized that one need not be necessarily in luxurious surroundings to receive a great massage. I decided not to judge a book by its cover.
I arrived about 15 minutes before my appointment. After waiting about 10 minutes I was checked in by a very friendly woman. A few moments later a very friendly young man came in and told me that he would make sure my room was ready and that my massage therapist would be right with me. I was optimistic. Several minutes later, my massage therapist was ushered into the waiting area by the aforementioned man, who introduced him. My therapist never made eye contact with me... He read my name from the sign in sheet and pointed to where I should go. I was so uncomfortable... I felt like he was irritated that he had a late appointment on a Friday night.
The massage itself was OK. I've had better and I've had worse. I was unable to really relax because the entire time I felt like he didn't really want to be there. I like a deep massage that's not necessarily relaxing the entire time, but I have bruises from this one. Also, it seems that the 90 minutes starts when your therapist first talks to you because even though I got on the table at about 715, my massage was over at 830. I would rather spend more money up front to be in a setting that is more relaxing and be with a massage therapist who doesn't give off the vibe that I'm a pain in their side. I realize that we're all only human but it's pretty off putting when your massage therapist is yawning audibly the entire time. You get what you pay for, as they say.
