So needed a massage and decided to check out Massage Envy. I have a few friends that are members and love it. Not ready to become a member, I went in just wanting a good massage and willing to pay for their service. The location is clean and the rooms are small..bright light, music in the background..nothing to make the experience memorable or a calming Zen moment. The staff was nice however, did not seem to care either way who was coming in and out.
My massage was less than great. The first 30 minutes, he "aligned" my back with pressure or what I would call "lets place my hands on her back ..tap certain areas...push in certain areas for 30 minutes..do nothing else" ..no lotion on his hands and when he rubbed I could feel it. I kept thinking..I hope it gets better cause this is what I'm paying for?
The second 30 minutes, it was fast rubbing on my back, legs and feet. At least he was using oils or lotion! I felt somewhat relaxed for a short time however, was probably the worst experience I've ever had. Would I recommend Massage Envy, no. I'm not envious of those that pay month after month to be a member and still have to have pay for each session At least I only paid $39 because if I paid what I thought I would pay I would be really upset.
