I'm very surprised I am the first one to write a review on this Massage Envy location!
I had a good experience here. My back was bothering me for the last few weeks so I decided to get a massage before having a chiropractor mess with it. I am glad I did because my back hasn't hurt since my deep tissue massage the other day.
The lobby is very cute, it looks like the lobby of a salon. There is comfortable seating and products for you to view while waiting. I think the front desk staff is a little cheesy, they try too hard to be "professional" I enjoy when people make you feel like they've known you for years instead of going through different systems of introduction... You can tell this place is corporate owned. But here nor there, I went for the massage and the low price. My mom has a membership here and encouraged me to go. She sees Bradley and raves about him. When I called he was booked out a week so I wasn't able to see him, but next time I book my appointment I will definitely be going to him.
When I first went in I was worried that I would be getting the pressure of buying a package. I really hate being hassled for stuff like that and that was the part I was dreading most. I was pleasantly surprised at the easy going-ness of asking me to sign up. When I arrived the girl took me into the "Relaxation room" (again, cheesY) which is just another seating area with dimmed lights and magazines. She told me the cost of the package and that if I decided to sign up today I would get a free massage. I like the fact she didn't ask for a "Yes" right away, and I didn't feel pressured to sign up at all. When I was done with the massage I went to the front and she began checking me out and I was happy that she wasn't immediately jumping on me to sign up. I ended up signing up, and my back feels so much better. I think $60/mo is a great deal for a massage, and you can freeze your account for up to 6 months which I also liked.
I had my first massage early last week. My masseuse was Jericho, who was pretty good. I asked for someone with strong hands because of the pain I was going through. He did a good job.
I came in again just the other day again to get my free massage for signing up for the package so I decided to upgrade to the "Deep Heat Relief Massage" I would never get that again. I paid an extra $12 for them to rub me down with Mineral Ice - something I could have done for $2 at home. My second masseuse was Roxanne, and I wasn't a huge fan of her work. She didn't put enough massage oil on me, even after it started to dry up. I like when their hands glide because of the oil, not when my skin feels like it's being tugged. She also did sort of an indian burn type of rub after the massage oil dried up... It didn't make sense to me what she was doing?? It actually hurt, and not the good kind of massage hurt. Before we started we did our little consultation and I showed her the point of my back to focus on the most (I asked for about 30 mins) and she mainly worked my shoulders, which I briefly mentioned working on, but expressed my concern for my mid back. I could tell the massage was almost over so I asked her to please focus on that area that I was having pain in. It did bother me that she didn't listen. I will admit though she had VERY strong hands, to the point I had to ask her to let up a little because it was a really DEEP massage! And my back feels a LOT better.
I would definitely recommend a massage envy package!! And I do like this location a lot... Very convenient in Boca Park!
