Decent massage especially for the price. However, they up-charged me for random fees before complaining about my tip and pressuring me to tip higher.

So I’ve come here many times, and the majority of my experiences with Becky have been good.Today that was not the case. I saw Queen, and my issues were the following: 1) She kept grating her knuckles over my bones like she was using a damn cheese grater (and persisted the same poor practice after I repeatedly indicated it didn’t feel good, 2) she cut the 60-min session a bit short (started at 1050 and ended at 1140), 3) Most off-puttingly, when I went to pay, she DEMANDED a 20% tip 😂 Like, I’m sorry, last time I checked, you get a good tip when you do good work. Not when you do mediocre work while ignoring your client’s basic requests.I’m never petty enough to leave negative reviews even when I sometimes have a negative experience, but this one really left a bad taste in my mouth.

Booked an hour session at 1:30, showed up on time for my first appointment but they had a scheduling error so they asked me to come back in an hour. I live close by so that wasn’t a problem.I come back an hour later at 2:30 but they’re with other clients. I don’t actually get started with my appointment until 2:45. Roughly around 3:00, 2 other guests come in and I can hear that they have appointments booked now but there’s no one available (overbooking or scheduling error), so the manager called 3 other clients who have appointments for today and leaves voicemails pushing their appointments back. She does this for 10 minutes then comes back, works on me for about 5 more minutes then tells me to shower.I shower and assume the appointment is over but not before I tip, which they obviously ask for. It might be a one-off instance where their calendar and scheduling system is all over the place, I don’t know.Nice people but just paying + tipping for an hour when I really received 20 minutes of service is a bit disappointing.

Have had massages 3x the price that weren’t half as good, have gone quite a few times now and it never disappoints. Both Ming and Lisa are equally as fantastic at massage, and both so kind. They’re so experienced and can tell which spots are tight! Wonderful place, have recommended to many friends.

Was far from a good massage in my book unfortunately. I regularly have massages, especially in times when I feel my body requires extra help to release all the tension its built up. This one was after a two week travel overseas that left my body beat up and very achey. Im a big fan of thai massage and it usually does wonders for me. Unfortunately with this one, I just didn’t feel like the masseuse was experienced and some of the poses she tried actually hurt and not in a good way. Nothing she tried on my body felt similar to my previous experiences w massages. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be coming back anytime soon.

I was desperately in need of a massage and was able to book a same-day appointment with Jessica. She worked magic on my back, and fixed other issues with my shoulders and legs.I definitely will be back, and I highly recommend this local gem, based on the excellent service as well as the extraordinary prices.

I had requested a quick fix chair massage. When I arrived, the therapist insisted I have my massage on a table even after I reiterated what I wanted. During the massage, I repeatedly asked her to be more gentle, because I had some recent injuries. This was one of the harshest massages I have ever received, and I have had many. In the end, she upcharged me both for the table massage I didnt want and the deep tissue work that I kept asking her to stop. Then she tried to bully me into a $300 package. I wont be back.

My massage with Lisa was AMAZING. Deep tissue (tui na) with cupping. The price is very reasonable for this high quality bodywork. Pressure was awesome and appropriately responsive to my body. I left with vastly greater energy and freedom of movement. 20+ years of experience, she knows what shes doing. I would definitely go back.

No one can fix your aches and pains the way Lisa can! She is my and my fiancés favorite masseuse. Beautiful new location, and also offers gua sha and cupping.Price is also great and they offer discounts, very clean and masks required.
