I've had less than 10 proper massages in my life. That number will likely go up by a lot now that they're charging the ridiculously low rate of $22 an hour. Wild!! That's almost Thailand cheap! Not really but still damn cheap! I've always wanted one of those crazy Japanese massage chairs but I can live with this rate.
I had the same masseuse both times (I didn't catch her name) and tough love was the best description of my experience. John Mellencamp's "Hurts So Good" isn't the ideal song to have stuck in your head at a spa but there's no denying it! I felt sorry for the other patrons for my laughing during the foot massage part. Nothing I can do. One thing that's undeniable are the results. I feel great after leaving there. Those first few steps out into the parking lot and breathing in fresh air is awesome.
Some tips:
- Arrive wearing shorts, t-shirt and flip flops if possible. I showed up in jeans and a dress shirt the first time because I had somewhere to be after but it was WAY more comfortable the second go around.
- The makeshift rooms in the back are better than the front room. It's more dimly lit and less noisy so I would request that.
- It's better to call and make an appointment.
