| - I could write a lot about this place. I will TRY to keep it brief as I answer questions I had going in!
I love all things Thai. It was only natural that the goodness of Yelp steered me in this direction to check this place out and get a much needed foot massage! Yippee! The start of my new life, ME going HERE all the time now!
Reservations - as one other reviewer pointed out, you have to have a credit card to book in case you are a no-show. Understandable. You have 24 hours to cancel and they will not run your credit card through until after your massage time slot. They will call you the day before and confirm your time and ask you to come in 10 min early re paperwork if you are a first-timer.
Parking - no worries. Pay in the pay per use lot where Ducky's Pub is. Run in, give the gal at the counter your license plate and the guy checking the lot will pop in supposedly and check in with all the plate numbers with staff. You are safe and if you happen to get a ticket, take it back to the business and they will take care of it. I was good, no ticket and I worried all day about it for nothing! You just never know with downtown parking!
Check in - go in and fill out the paperwork and wait! It is NOT a spa so there is not a lot of room to relax at all but you can scan all the bottled remedies and vitamins they have there. The gal at the front desk today was super friendly. If you are early like I was, check in and go for a walk. There is a ton of places to go for coffee, food, etc.
Insurance - All the massage ladies are licensed and registered but are NOT recognized by Sunlife or Manulife. At least they tell you this going in. I had no problem with $65 an hour for a great foot reflexology session!
Massage - you are collected from the front room and given a loose top and bottoms to wear in your room. The therapist will come in and you give yourself over! Lots of bending, chopping, some pain and anticipation of such pain but I needed a good working over so, it was great! Felt really good after, kept me wanting more time so of course I will go back. I do not think Calgary offers any other place like this!
The oils they use did not take off my fresh pedicure from just a few days ago either which was a plus!
The room smells fantastic of health - liniment and oils. The room is dim, spacious and comfortable with low music.
No small talk , no chit chat, no warning of what is to come and no explanation of what they are doing to you. Yes, there was a language barrier but I was not coming in for small talk anyways.
When time is up, they leave, you change, pay at the front, grab the green tea they will prep for you if you would like one and you are out!
The massage started and ended on time and I felt the time was managed well for what I booked.
The guy coming out before me booked a 2 HOUR massage and honestly, that would be a great way to go as the time flies!
The therapists are all from Thailand and made for a great, authentic experience!
