The massage itself.... I was hoping for much, much better.
Ugh. I wanted this place to be great... I needed this place to be great.. but I didn't quite measure up to what I am used to back home. Sigh.
You walk in and the ambiance whispers "relax" ...okay, cool. The staff is super kind and they acknowledged me quickly. I was ushered back to a private area that had two recliner looking chairs. After being offered tea I was asked which package I wanted....without mentioning Yelp, I was offered the discounted package. Mind readers? Or this is just normal pricing disguised as a special? Who knows?
Anywho, I got started off with a footsoak and my, uh, reflexologist (?) came in to get started. She first started with my shoulders, neck and scalp...fantastic! Then went on to my feet and calves, fantastic! When I was time for my back - which costs extra - not so fantastic.
Firstly, the chair wasn't exactly right for a back massage. Even though the top pillow opens up to create a space for your face (ha!) it's simply too cushion-y, for me at least. I could tell she was using quite a biit of effort but I really didn't feel like my muscles were being worked how I'm used to. Perhaps back home has spoiled me.
I'm unsure that I will return... for a back massage anyways. Stick with the basic package here.
