| - Erica was the one who gave me the massage.
I was afraid because this company had just as many bad reviews as good ones, but the massage itself was ok. She just used too much oil. Before I got dressed I actually had to wipe a lot of the oil off. She said she has been licensed for about 7 months, so she probably needs someone to tell her that she is using way too much oil. I didn't realize there was too much until I actually got up. The oil also was unscented, so during the massage, I smelled more of the softener that they used on the sheets than a calming scent of oil. It would've been nice to have some relaxing essential oils or something incorporated into the massage, even if it was near the temple area.
The space itself was very clean, it looks like an old office building transformed into a massage area. The room where you are massaged in is actually an old office space but it was clean. It was dim, she said she put music on, but all it sounded like was a waterfall sound, no really relaxing music.
The only other thing I didn't care for was that she talked through the entire massage. I felt bad for her because she was talking about someone that had passed away so I carried on a conversation, but next time I will tell her from the beginning that I like a "no-talk" massage.
I've read about how people are turned off at their tip suggestions. The tip postings weren't tacky per se, because I can understand that they do alot of Groupon's, and if someone has never had a massage before, they probably don't know how to tip. But.....when the massage was over, I gave her my money and she looked disappointed that I had only given her a little over a 20% tip. So she asked me, was this for the tax and the tip? And I said yes, and she looked disappointed. My appointment was at 6:00 for an hour massage. She started about 6:07 because she was out in the hall explaining to a customer leaving that they needed to drink water afterwards, etc, etc., and my massage ended at 6:58 so it technically wasn't even an hour long. So that, plus the too much oil, and her talking the whole way through, I felt that a 20% tip was fair.
I did use a Groupon for this massage, but I tipped her the amount that the massage "should" have been, not on the Groupon cost.
Overall, I would go back again and request Erica, but I would ask for a silent massage, and I'd probably take my own Essential Oils and ask her if she could incorporate those into the less oily massage.
