This is the best place to get a foot reflexology massage!!! Being a saavy shopper, I usually get massages only at places that I can find a groupon for, but I’ve gone back to this place even without a groupon! The first time I got a foot reflexology was at this place towards the beginning of the year. I didn’t know what to expect so I only got the groupon for 30 min. I walked in and was greeted by a lady. I told her I made an appointment for a foot massage. She called her husband, I believe, to give me the massage. I was wearing tight jeans so he walked me to the changing room and grabbed a pair of loose fabric pants for me to change into. Not sure if they actually wash the pants on a daily basis, but hey I’m already there so lets just hope for the best. Walked back outside and was escorted to one of the sofa chairs in the open area. Guess you don’t really need that much privacy when you are just getting a foot massage. There was no one else around so it wasn’t too bad. He brought out a bucket of warm water, which was a bit too hot but he said hot water is good for you… hm…okay. He then pour in some kind of soap that eventually turn into this squishy thing and he told me to just step in it. It felt pretty nice and squishy under my feet. After about 5 or 10 minutes, he asked me to take it out and cleaned my feet and the massage begins. He worked on my feet and at the beginning it felt a little bit uncomfortable but after a minute or two in, it felt so good. It was one of those good pain if you know what I mean. He asked me if the pressure is okay and I told him he can actually put more pressure and he seemed to be really surprised. I guess not a lot of people like strong pressure on their feet? 15 minutes went by really quick and before I know it, it was time. He then sat me up and gave me a quick 5 min shoulder massage and a neck massage which was good, but not as great as the foot massage. Now as I previously mentioned, I usually only get foot massages at places with groupon. So since then, I have tried about 3 to 4 different places for massages but no one was as good as this guy. The other masseuses were soft and no matter how many times I told them to put more pressure, they were still not good enough. I guess I just need a lot of pressure on my feet and this guy did the job. So after trying so many different places for a good foot massage and can’t find any other places, I decided to go back to this place. Why waste money on other cheaper places when I can come here and actually get the massage that I want?! I came back about a month ago and had the same guy gave me a foot massage. This time I know better to get an hour foot massage and wear sweat capri so I don’t have to change into their pants. Although this time he didn’t give me the soap squishy thing to soak my feet in, I still didn’t care. Who cares about a foot soak when his skills were just phenomenal. He asked me if I want him to give me a back massage for the last 15 minute, but I refused because I came here specifically for his foot massage! Again, the hour went by so quick when I am enjoying the massage. Overall, this is definitely the place to go if you want someone who can give you a really good and strong foot massage. As I am writing this, I cant wait to go back!

So I made an appt after my mom came here and said it was a total deal! I made an apt for 1hr full body deep tissue($ 50) I requested a female and she was really sweet. She’s got some really strong hands for a tiny lady! She knows exactly where your tight and really concentrates on releasing those spots. I prefer a quiet atmosphere to relax and that’s what I got after my massage They offered me a discounted foot massage, how could I resist! I wish I would have resisted! Omg the pain! The gentlemen that did my foot massage had extremely unnecessarily strong hands that actually left bruises on my legs … They start by putting your feet in a bucket of scorching hot mushy jelly stuff that is supposed to detox your body but it just felt like my skin was slowly burning off. Lol not cool! Anyway after they massage your feet and calves but I think the foot massage ruined the relaxation I got from my body massage! #fail anyway I would def go back for the massage from the lady I think her name was Tina. No go on the foot massage! I took another star bc she answers the phone during the massage every time it rings… It kinda kills the zen mood~~

Haven’t been back here since I moved away further from the area. Looked like a few changes were made. I am going to be more specific this time with the new experience here. They have a change room where you can put your clothes and change to something that is easier to massage over the legs in case you came in tight pants The foot bath you normally do prior to the foot massage, is now some sort of mushy jelly bath. Be very careful, because the temperature can be extremely hot. I had to tell them to cool it a bit. After a few min they will put some powder and tell you to mix it up with your feet which then turns the jelly like thing to more watery. Normally, I got the massage from the gentleman who is the owner. He has good skills(to be specific just reflexology) but he tends to rush a bit. Also you will have to tell him to be a bit more gentle as he has strong pressure. But I like strong pressure so I have no issue with that. This time I had the lady massage me who is the wife of the owner. She is more meticulous and gentle. Both have good knowledge in reflexology and where to pressure and massage correctly. This is probably their biggest asset as most places I have been to been poor in this area. At the end of the session, they do a leg massage and it is mediocre and will do some yoga like stretching as well. Also they do some neck, arm, and back rub but this is also mediocre. Now the bad part. They need some staffing, especially one that answers the phone and make the appointments in organized fashion. I see that they hired an extra therapist. But they really need the receptionist/scheduler as they would answer the phone while they massage. Luckily it only happened once during my session but it will get annoying if they are getting calls constantly. One other thing to note is that they use petroleum jelly now for the lubrication which is not my choice for massage(they use lotion for the neck and arm). Overall, the skills/knowledge(in reflexology) and hospitality is still great here. Those that are a bit picky but dont need strong pressure should have the lady do the massage.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. I literally just got back from a massage at this place, and it was not a pleasant experience. This place is run by a woman and her husband. The lady said she would massage me. First, there were no hooks in the room to put my clothes. So I had to place them in this basket. Ok no big deal. Then I got to the table and instead of a sheet, there is a giant paper sheet on the bed(like a paper napkin, similar to a table cover you would use at a picnic). This made paper crinkling noises the entire time. And then she used a blanket type thing to cover my back. I kept thinking«this isn’t something that seems like it is washed at all». I mean, if you aren’t using sheets, then I doubt the blanket is being washed. Who knows. But it’s still not typical to any place I’ve been to in the past. So we start and for about 15 minutes or so, she massaged me through the blanket. I thought that was too long as it’s not the same as massaging the skin directly. Then she pulls the blanket off my back and starts massaging my back directly. She is hitting a couple spots and all is okay. When all of a sudden, her cell phone goes off right next to my ear. Instead of shutting it off, she just lets it ring and ring. Well that’s pretty annoying and not peaceful. I mentioned how I wanted to use more pressure in this one spot. She says«let me get my husband. he is good». That’s never happened to me DURING a massage, changing therapists. She grabs her husband who comes in. He feels my knots and then goes buckwild on my back. He was EXTREMELY rough. It was like he was 10 years old and my back was a remote controller for PS2, he started pushing everything. He just went insane on my back and it did not feel pleasant. Then for some reason he finds a pressure point in my armpit area and starts pressing down. It’s hurting me. I ask him to let go b/c it’s uncomfortable. But instead he kept doing it harder. I literally had to yell«STOP!!». He should be embarrassed at how he treated me and put me in physical pain. He then leaves and the woman goes back to massaging me. Within 2 minutes, her cell phone rings yet AGAIN. That’s so annoying, you are with a customer, shut it off. For the remaining 15 – 20 minutes she tries to work the rest of my knots and actually does a decent job. Not the best, but okay. I was looking forward to the massage just ending so I could leave. When it was done, I tipped her a few dollars and left. This place needs a lot of help and changes. I would avoid this place at all costs. If you do need to come here, do not let the husband touch you. He is bad news. I’m giving it 2 stars only b/c the woman managed to salvage something towards the end. A massage should be a pleasant experience, and this was far from it. I wasted my time and money here, but you don’t have to. I obviously will not be coming back. Also, note that all the reviewers before me only have 1 review, this place. Seems fishy to me. Just saying.
