One of the best massages I've had. Peter was very communicative at the beginning, which always provides a deeper level of comfort, and then checked in about pressure level and any specific needs/concerns throughout. Even provided some tips for a particularly knotty joint! Soothing atmosphere and experience in a bustling area. Not cheap, but unsurprising cost for the location - and turned out to be worth it!

This place may as well be an illegal Chinese parlor!
The biggest red flag should have been that I didn’t sign a waiver and mark exactly what I needed like at normal spots with integrity.
I told the woman my problem areas and that I need firm pressure instead I got a Swedish massage and she didn’t even touch my problem areas how I needed.
I’ve had knots in my neck for over a month. Do you think she got one knot out?
I mentioned my shoulder was in pain. Do you think she even touched my shoulder?
I mentioned my lower back also has pain, two days later in the same position.
Don’t get me started on the timing. I got a 75 minute massage. She only gave me about 60-65 minutes. She was out the door and had cleaned up before the time was even up.
I can’t believe I wasted $200.
This place is just a glorified hell hole, if you have actual issues, go see a massage therapist not any random people they get off the street and then they have two pansies in the front checking you out. 😆
So unprofessional, I will never come back here ever again. Take my advice and look elsewhere.

I've had amazing massage experiences with both Peter and Derrick—I highly recommend them! I've been seeing Peter for a few months, and he's been extremely attentive to my pain, adjusting each session accordingly. I love his use of hot stones. Derrick helped loosen up my incredibly tight back and neck muscles with just the right amount of pressure and gave me a wonderful head massage! Both of them have offered great tips and suggestions for aftercare and recovery.

Norika really goes above and beyond in her services. I usually go in for a 45-minute facial but she will be with you for at least 50 minutes. She also gives really good arm massages while the mask is resting on your face, and massages products nicely into the skin (so in a way a face massage as well!). Would recommend!
