I went to Miraculous Massage based on a deal I found on LivingSocial. I have zero massage experiences to compare it to, but I got a massage and a facial right after. I have had a few different facials, pumpkin peels, etc.
I'm not giving 5 stars because it did take me a couple tries to actually get the appointment made. A few calls, no one answered. Left a message, finally someone called me back. They DO have an online system to set an appointment, but I wanted to make sure they knew I had the LivingSocial deal.
Some pros include the fact they are a clean establishment, although small. They did offer me water while I waited. Nice music plays throughout the establishment and everything is quiet and tranquil.
As for my massage: I had the therapeutic massage, and I let the lady performing it know I had never had one before. She kindly let me know how it would go and I was very glad to have her explain the process to me. We go on nicely during the massage, she asked only a few times how the pressure was. She may have been a bit too talkative in my opinion. I don't mind a bit of small talk, but this was a bit much in my opinion. Of course I've never had any other massage to compare this to.
After my massage she also showed me some easy stretches to perform based on what I had told her about my left shoulder hurting and how much sitting I do behind my desk every day.
Next I went to my facial, and it was great! I just loved it. The woman performing it was quiet and did not speak much except to tell me she was going to extract some blackheads - ugh. That hurt and she just kept going at it. At least I knew she was doing a good job. She even massaged my arms, head, face, and shoulders.
I left feeling great. The next day I definitely felt a bit sore, but it has been a month since my massage and I still feel A LOT better than I had before my massage.
I would go back here, but it is quite far from where I live. However, based on this good experience I may have to suck it up and take the drive.
