| - After looking at dozens of reviews of reflexology massages in Chinatown, I ended up choosing Evergreen Beauty & Wellness Centre. The space is very simple, but clean. I was seen without an appointment almost immediately. The price list was almost too good to be true, but I decided on the 60min reflexology treatment for $30. I was taken into a room with two large leather chairs (I ended up sharing a room with another cient), and given a foot soak for about 15mins. The massage itself was about 45mins.
The practitioner barely said anything to me the entire time, but I did not mind at all. I was far too relaxed to carry on a mundane conversation with anyone. Just a warning that the pressure is quite strong but not uncomfortable. There are areas on your foot/leg which will be more sensitive than others but if you can handle the pain, you will reap the most benefits. You can also tell them to lighten up if it's too intense for you.
Don't expect a luxury spa experience, and although the rooms are dark, you can basically hear conversations from the rooms next to you. No one was loud, but you can definitely hear pretty much everything. They played "spa" music, so it drowned out any background noise.
Overall, it was a great experience! I felt amazing afterwards, and even though it was a strong massage, I didn't feel sore the next day. Can't wait to go back!
