| - The thing is, it's a school. They're learning. You have to know coming here that it will not be expert level.
I know what it's like to provide a service to people that involves skill which is gained through hands on practice. So I have to cut them slack.
Quick and dirty:
Go here for moderate priced "rub down", nothing fancy, good for relaxation, it was like a massage my man would give me if I bribed him with a meal. Don't go here for a real deal massage, bc you have tense/sore muscles. Not even in a bind...
the long way around:
I purchased a 60 min massage $40, there is no tipping accepted here. Everybody was prompt, efficient, answered all my questions and very polite. These massages are administer by students to obtain an esthetician licensure which includes facials, massage, waxing. This is not this same as a license for massage therapy. The student was very lovely and happy to do as I asked for specific painful areas needing therapy. Unfortunately they provide a massage mainly for relaxation, it was not therapeutic to my aching back. The student was eager & did her best in my target areas but did not seem to have the background in anatomy and skills in therapeutic massage that I require. I inquired on the massage education and was told it is the same as massage therapists but have a hard time believing that as an avid massage goer. Again it could just be because she's still learning... It's hard to know since I've never had a massage from an experienced esthetician. Unfortunately I won't be returning, although it was satisfactory, it didn't didn't suit my needs.
