| - I would give this place a 3.5 stars based on their Living Social Deal: 1-hour detox deep tissue massage, which comes with oils and hot stones. I've been twice using this deal, for $35.
This was a very convenient location for me, and there was parking in the back, so I thought I'd give it a try. Both times I went, there were snowstorms, but they managed to salt the walkway and shovel the snow by the time I arrived, which was at 11:30am. When you walk through the front door, there is a sign in front requesting clients to take off their shoes and to use the slippers that are located on the left side of the wall. You are supposed to leave your shoes by the doorway area.
The massage was very relaxing. I loved the oils and hot stones. The staff are friendly and they ask to ensure that the pressure is right for you.
What I didn't like the first time I went was that the receptionist handed me this paper stating the service I was going to receive and that most customers give $10 tip. I thought it was a bit annoying to suggest the tip amount, but I guess some people have not been giving as much and they needed to emphasize that? Anyway, tax was not included in the price of the deal so you would have to pay for that after the service was over. They will also offer you a $40 (includes tax) gift card for the same service, but has no expiry.
It's also too bad that you have to pay an extra $20 to get an RMT receipt.
Anyway, regardless, I still purchased a few more deals afterwards. It's very close to home and the massage itself was indeed relaxing. I definitely wouldn't pay the full regular price for it though.
Note: After using three living social deals, I was told by the receptionist that I would have to pay regular price next time since the deal was for first time customers only. Thought this was annoying because why would they allow you to purchase five at a time if that was the case?
