| - The only thing I despise more than writing bad reviews, is being in the position where I truly had a bad experience. This massage leaves you wanting LESS. As previously mentioned in some reviews, Communication is really difficult as there is a major language barrier and they absolutely DO ask/demand for a "TIP!" As you're trying to leave. I myself work in tipping industry and never have and never will ask for a tip....it's tacky. If someone wants to tip you/you're deserving/customer had a good experience, they will naturally tip you what they can afford and think it's appropriate. Now, even those two things in and of themselves would not lead me to writing a negative review. Just didn't help matters. You are asked to take off your shoes and shirt, and have a TOWEL to cover with. You are in a semi-private room, however, low walls surrounding, nothing peaceful or pretty about the little "room", with a curtain as a door, you are subjected to any outside light, noise, and so forth. then they have you soak your feet for ten minutes in water. (Note, everything did SEEM sanitary and I can appreciate that for sure.) This is followed by a massage that lasts approx one hour, but is interrupted with 5-6 mini-breaks when they have to run to answer the phone/the door, pour out water, etc. All lotion/oil is room temp and unscented and they use less than the bare minimum as to maybe persevere their inventory? Nearly everything in my massage HURT. I felt my masseuse had no technical training and perhaps never had a massage himself. A LOT of rubbing hard and unenjoyable pressure placed not onto my muscles but onto my BONES. Fast movements. I spent the entire massage making a mental list of everything that was wrong, unable to relax, leaving feeling totally disappointed, and like I just wish I never went. The two employees were nice enough, but I came to relax and for a healing massage that left me wanting more. And I'm annoyed to have come out of this experience so deflated.
Oh! And they make you pay for services upfront which I've never experienced
