Their massages are also good value and the environment makes you feel relaxed
I currently have more aches / pains and parts of my back are sore to the touch after having only a 30 mins massage here this afternoon!!
I now feel like asking for a refund from manager, when they open again tomorrow!!
I popped in as a walk-in as was walking past and seen it had reasonably high 5 * reviews. (They weren’t answering their telephone earlier, it was past their opening time of 11am).
The person who was on reception told me they could fit me in for a massage at 1pm and I could decide later which type & whether to have 30 or 45 mins massage.
When I arrived in time, told they were booked up after me so could only do 30 mins. They were quick to take the full payment from me in advance too! The person who was on reception then went onto do my massage, maybe she wasn’t fully qualified/ she didn’t have a professional tunic on like the other staff lady there?
No consultation really except to ask if I preferred soft, medium or hard pressure. Unfortunately ( I now realise ) asked for medium pressure to start with, but did say I would let her know if needed softer during the massage?
Even though I did try to tell her several times during the massage, to go softer, if didn’t feel noticeable better!
At the end before I left premises, the other staff had already taken another client in to room next door ( you can all their conversations in next room, so no privacy there!). Even over the fairly loud and not that relaxing soundtrack in therapy room.
I even asked what type of massage she had given me (so I’d know to avoid that type again) she said something to the effect that it needed to be deep as I had a lot of knots in my back.
Well I’ve got a fair few sore knots / areas now!!!
It was fairly cheap ( hence the 1 * ) and short (thank goodness they couldn’t fit me in for the 45 mins massage! I’m just so annoyed that something that was suppose to be a rare treat to myself has left me more battered and bruised up !! A hot bath would have been more relaxing.
I’m surprised they have any 5 * reviews based on my experience today.
Will save up and go to a better place next time!!
