Ok, before I begin, the 4 stars is ONLY for my massage therapist, Lulu, who was great. I asked for a deep tissue massage, and she did a fantastic job.
Pretty much everything else gets 1 star from me. I bought a Groupon for $50 for what was advertised as a $100 massage. I called to set up the appointment, and had a very hard time understanding the woman who answered the phone. Her English is not great, and I had to struggle to get through the conversation. Once we booked the time, I told her I prefer a female therapist. She tried to talk me into a male saying "try, maybe you like." I told her I'd rather wait until a day when a female was available, to which she replied "ok female."
What? If a female was available I don't know why she would try to talk me into a male. I realize more people want females, but still it seemed weird.
Parking on 25th street was easy, but it was very late in the afternoon. I've been to that area during lunch time and it's a lot harder. I went in and handed her my Groupon. She pointed to the posted price list, which showed a 1 hour massage for $50. I was a bit confused and she said "See? Same price!" I asked her why they were selling Groupons for their regular price she just smiled and said "Cheap!" Um, ok. I have to say I felt a little duped. Not cool.
She took me into a room and said "You want male?" Here we go again....I said I reserved a female and again she tried to talk me into a male therapist saying the exact thing she'd said on the phone "try, maybe you like." I think she must say that a lot.
My therapist was great. Nothing weird, no pain, just a nice deep massage. It's the only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars. I will not be back only because there are other places at the same price, and I really felt cheated by the whole Groupon ruse.
