I was very disappointed. I think there are two types of spa massage place. The professional ones that hires trained RMTs (registered massage therapists) and the fly-by-night places that hires "young asians", advertise online and have per "bait and switch" tactics. This place has $48/hr massage advertised all over the place including on their door. But as soon as you walk in and are ready on the table, they want to up-sell you to a $110/hr "package". I wanted the advertised 48/hr massage. For $105, I can get a professional massage by an RMT! When I refuse the upsell, the masseuse then wanted me to switch to a male, and I said "no", I prefer a female. After that, she changed the story and said she could only do 45 min!!! I probably should have walked out.
I got a 7/10 massage which is what I would expect from a non-RMT at that price but when paying, she told me the price was $45 for 45 min and $55 for 60 minutes and tips were not included. I gave her $60 cash waiting for change back but she said the rest was for a tip! I've never, ever been to a place that refuses to give you change! She ended up giving me $5 back and complained that she was only paid by tips! Well, that's either a lie or against employment laws. That's not my problem. When I go to the $105 professional places with RMT, I'm told tips are not expected or common!
I think with some of these lesser places, you have to negotiate the price before the deliver services. That way they are no bad surprises on either side but I don't think that's the way these fly-by-night places work.
So overall, the message was good (after that initial negotiation phase was done) but the post message nonsense make me give this place a one star. When I go for a massage, it's not to be taken for a ride!
Oh, and none of the pretty young asians advertised online work there! They seem to pull pictures from the web?
