I love this place - calming atmosphere, nice receptionists, and great massage options. Lots of options for massage therapists, as well. Chanda is AMAZING - so professional, but cordial as well as incredibly skilled and warm hearted. She has made me feel nothing but safe and welcome since the first appointment. Plus Argus Farmstop is right next door if you feel like a coffee or a snack after your massage.

Good massage place! They were able to take me in the same day when I walked in for a 30 mins deep tissue massage in the open room where there were 3 beds. It’s the entrance room and pretty big and well equipped. They have a good open back T-shirt system for the open room which is very smart and works well. I definitely recommend this place and would go there again.

As a physical therapist I always find it challenging to find a good massage therapist but the relaxstation doesnt disappoint!! I have had multiple massages and they have all been exceptional. Now, the receptionist, thats a different story. I called to ensure our appointments and she had an ATTITUDE. That was a huge disappointment and has made me consider looking for another massage company all together.

We’ve been going to Relaxation station for years. I had a wonderful massage with Ashlyn today. If you go, please request her.My only complaint is when another therapist came in, she loudly talked the entire time.It was so disrespectful to the rest of us. I don’t need to hear how great the neighhood is and restaurants in the area. Please be respectful of others!

Great place to go for a short or long massage. Male and female massage therapists. Free parking available. Easy to find location. Packages available to receive even better pricing. Voted best of Washtenaw by readers. Good idea to get an appointment but walk-ins are welcome.

Went for a couples massage with my husband and they were wonderful and relaxing. I believe my therapists name was Hannah. Im only giving 4 stars because the front was very noisy. The massage room was right in the front of the house with the receptionist area on the other side of the door. I would suggest the workers and customers try to be more quiet if a massage is in session.

Had a sore neck for a couple of weeks. Went to Ann Arbor on business, and woke up to excruciating pain in between my neck and shoulder. The only place I could get same day appt, was RelaxStation. I booked online and they confirmed my appt. Chandra worked on my neck and shoulder for probably 30 min. Still hurt when I left, but a couple of hours later, the pain was completely gone! Writing this review a couple of weeks later, and pain has not returned. She did an amazing job, thank you Chandra!

Had a great time at a couples massage with my girlfriend for her birthday at Relax Station! Tim was my masseur. He was extremely professional and gave a great massage. I would definitely recommend this place for massages if youre feeling like you need one. Let Relax Station work any stress and tight muscles right out. They are fantastic!

Was pleasantly surprised with massage therapist, Allen, he has knowledge for athletes, which is always welcoming. My husband, a former football player was referred to him and has booked several times since my husband is a full large man and requires someone strong. Allen did not disappoint.!

Visited here for an appointment. Came in and just felt unwelcome here. Appointment was at noon I got here at 11:45. Front desk reception was very uncommunicative. Had me wait in a chair directly in front of the door for 20 minutes with little instructions except to fill out an intake form. I was stared at sitting in this front chair like I wasn’t supposed to be here. I waited clueless until I just finally left because my schedule couldn’t permit me starting late after the schedule time. Front desk person tried wasn’t too thrilled with me asking to reschedule. So much for self care… it’s exhausting just trying to find space to exist.

Ive been coming here pretty consistently for a while now & have always had Michael as my therapist. He is AMAZING and is great at personalizing the session towards my requests. I always leave feeling refreshing and with muscle tension released. Highly recommend Relax Station and Michael if you can book him.

The message therapists are great! I dont care for how the new location is set up. Its wide open, so as soon as you walk in, the receptionist desk is practically in the middle of 3 message tables. The customers message is completely intruded upon with people walking in to get checked in.

Ive been here twice now and was impressed both times. They offer private sessions or a session in a shared room for different budgets, which is awesome. Relaxing environment and great massages. I did private sessions for both of mine and plan to return.

I have severe chronic pain, and I deal with a lot of cramping and muscle spasms, so when my Mom got me a gift certificate for RelaxStation, I was SO excited--I had been there before to their other location for shorter massages and the experience was always absolutely wonderful. So, I made the appointment for my birthday, and I chose someone named Thomas to give me my massage--I have had hit or miss experiences with female masseuses because I need a lot of pressure, and usually guys have stronger hands and can give really good deep tissue massage. So, first off, I was running about five minutes late because of a minor backup on the street I was driving down, so I called and apologized and said I would be a little late, ten minutes at the max. Brandon, the front desk associate, was very nice about it and thanked me for calling ahead.When I finally got there and got signed in and all, Thomas came into the waiting area and greeted me, and walked me back to the room. We discussed the health issues I had mentioned and areas it would help to focus on, and then he left so I could get undressed to my comfort level and get on the table. Then, he came back in and got started. Yall, it was the best massage I have EVER had in my entire LIFE. Thomas was very careful to pay attention to any cues I gave about pressure, focused on all the areas where I really needed help, and made me feel completely comfortable and safe the entire time.Thomas was also very conversational--now, some people chat with you and it feels awkward at moments, right? Not Thomas. He was so chill and down to earth, it was like getting a deep tissue massage from someone who was my best friend who really cared about what I had to say. We chatted about our pets and shows we like and even got a little deep discussing things about family and other more intense/interesting topics.The entire time, I was relaxed and having an amazing time--when we got wrapped up and I got ready to leave, he had a few suggestions for stretches I could do and mentioned a massage product he likes to use for neck pain/tension, which I really appreciated because I store a lot of tension in my neck. The entire process was amazing experience, and I would recommend RelaxStation AND Thomas to anyone. When I left, I felt so de-stressed and light, it was like I was floating. DEFINITELY going back, next time for a longer session!

I was really happy with how flexible they could be to stay Covid-safe. Their new location has a large front porch where they offer chair or table massage. They provide special shirts with open backs for the porch or their open spaces inside. I had one appointment where it was way too hot to be outside when we used a big open room with the front door open and fans circulating air. The staff wore masks while inside, and for outside they did so on request if it made you more comfortable. Masks required for clients inside as well. My therapist Brandon was excellent. Offered strong deep muscle work that helped me recover from a shoulder injury. I was really happy with my experience.

Review №25

I just had a 30 minute back massage here and it was wonderful. I’d been suffering from a really painful muscle spasm in my upper back/lower neck for almost two days and even the smallest movements were agony, so I was desperate for relief. They got me in right away (I didn’t have an appointment) and 30 minutes later I was feeling sooo much better. This massage was more effective than any muscle relaxant that my doctor has prescribed for similar back pain in the past.Everyone was super friendly. The space was very open, with about four massage tables in a common area. They provide you with an open-back t-shirt to cover up with. It was a warm day and they had a few of their doors open to let in the fresh air. I could hear a lot of the sounds from the street outside which I didn’t mind at all, but if you are expecting a quiet and private room you might want to call ahead to see if they can accommodate you.Overall, this place is awesome. I was so glad I could just walk in without an appointment and get a really good massage. The prices seem comparable to or even a little less expensive than other spas/massage parlors in the area. I’m just visiting Ann Arbor from out of town, but if I lived in the area I’d definitely come here again

I was desperate and was able to book Ashylnn last minute on a Sunday. After a long week working it was a huge deal for me to find some relief! Ashylnn was great and helped me feel 1000% better! I would recommend her to anyone, she was gentle when she needed to be but really got the work in! Thank you!

Review №27

RelaxStation is an awesome place to either get a quick massage at their main location on a chair or table, or a longer full-body table massage at their second location. They are easy to schedule, and always seem to be able to get me in on the same day. Ive used multiple therapists, and all have been great! I most recently had Brandon for the last two table massages, and he is attentive and intuitive. I highly recommend RelaxStation Massage!

Review №28

I am a regular happy customer and I just went to their new location on Packard for the first time. It has the same charm as their old location on Huron, but with more spaciousness and newness.Easy parking, quality service, and I got a great massage from David. I recommend RelaxStation to anyone in the Ann Arbor area, especially if you prefer a more relaxed wholesome vibe over a fancy spa experience.

Most of the massage was great but the pressure was too much. My shoulder blade area feels bruised now. It hurts to even touch. I’m hoping this will subside quickly.

Review №31

Every time I’ve been here, it’s been a great experience. Stacie is a wonderful therapist and has helped me multiple times with back and shoulder issues. She’s efficient and knows her anatomy well, pinpointing exactly where a specific muscle is that needs to be addressed. I found her touch to be very intuitive, helping muscles relax that I didn’t realize were so tight. Thanks for the amazing service!

Review №32

I highly recommend Relax Station to everyone. I can opt for a short, casual session at the Huron St location, or I can plan for a 60+min session at their Phoenix location.You can even walk in (though I recommend calling ahead) for a 15 min massage. Their therapists all use slightly different techniques, and each therapist is friendly, professional, and focused on making sure that you are comfortable. Ive been coming here for 10 yrs+, and plan to keep coming back. Ive recommended this place to friends and family. Even some of them who are a bit squirmish about massages enjoy getting massages at the Huron location.

Review №33

If you are in a pinch and cant schedule with your regular therapist, this is the place to go. Most of the therapist are minimally average to good. Only one or two werent very good (none were ever horrible)... And I also discovered my best therapist there... But I think he retired in only a few month from judging by his age.

Review №35

I am a former employee of this location. On my first visit to the station, I felt a feeling of coming home. The landscaping is breathtaking, resulting in nice wildlife on a busy corner of a busy city. The massages are performed mostly in a community style area of several massage tables, a few massage chairs, and weather permitting massages can be recieved outside. During downtime the therapists work on each other, and there are some great therapists to learn from. If a customer wants a private massage, there is a location about one block away with four massage rooms, including the ability for couples massage. I miss working here, but the commute from Detroit to Ann Arbor was too excessive. I was once an hour late due to opening day at The Big House (I dont follow sports and had no idea) as well as terrible accidents on different occasions but no alternate routes. I sadly had to leave for a closer spa, but if you are in Ann Arbor area, this is a great place for walk in or scheduled appointments.

Review №36

Not the worst massage that I have ever received but certainly not up to the standard of some of the other places in Ann Arbor. The masseuse was somewhat eccentric and didnt do what I had asked her to do. Her technique was quite random. I doubt that I would go back there, although some people I have heard had good experiences.

David was fantastic. He listened well to what I wanted and quietly responded appropriately. I like a deep, therapeutic massage and he delivered that. He was very professional and very intuitive. I will definitely request him again. I was able to relax and drift away.

Review №40

Not the best massage Ive received by a long shot. When I called I wasnt give the option to book in an individual room (I didnt know there would be a difference), so it was in a community setting with people talking/checking in/coming in and out. My neck was really kinked and it was the only place I could get in. Unfortunately I still have to schedule another with my regular masseuse as my neck wasnt helped. If you have options, I would suggest pursuing another location.

Br
Review №41

Its ironic that this place is called RELAXstation because it is very hard to relax there. When you go in and get a massage, the staff talk to one another very loudly and are very disruptive. I also did not like the massage I was given. It was too rough.Edit: 4 years later, Ive tried this place again, and lowered my review from 2 stars to 1. Yesterday, I received the worst massage of my life. She used too much pressure, and didnt stop after I told her it was too much. Today I am in SO much pain! I will never go back.

Review №42

Overall, this place is pretty basic, no frills, disjointed, not very private.The building on Huron Street is a big room where everyone gets massaged without any privacy.You have to leave to go to their other entrance to get a private massage which is awkward because you are checking in and its the wrong place.If you want a real relaxing spa experience with privacy, flavored water, tea service, and a bidet, I recommend Bellanina Day Spa.No matter what you choose, make sure you get what you want.

Review №47

Ive been here many time, and have gotten many great massages. It all depend on the therapist. Some will listen and attend to the areas you ask, others will ask, then do what they want anyway. That was todays visit. A new therapist, who didnt listen. I know there is a pattern and everything is connected, but when you have a short amount of time and come in for a specific area, they should listen. Too rough and shook my head a lot which is not what you want with a headache.I have a worse headache than I went in with.

Review №51

Highly hit or miss. Agree with others that if you know a masseuse is good, stick with them and you will be happy. But don’t leave it up to chance. I had two terrible experiences. The last one: extreme pressure and pinching of small neck muscles, leading to swelling and severe pain for days. Had to make an urgent doctor visit. Three days later still have the swelling and can only sleep on high dose of Motrin. Hoping to recover from this “fascia release”!
