I tried this service due to a LivingSocial deal I saw advertised. It was to be a sixty minute massage using Essential oils. I was asked to get there a little early so I could fill out the paperwork but I missed a turn and got there just on time. The masseuse, Melissa, said that was "No problem". I did the paperwork, she glanced at it for all of ten seconds, and we proceeded to start. At the end of my sixty minute massage, I thought it was short on time. When Melissa left the room, I looked at my phone. The time was 9:55, a full five minutes short no matter when we started (appointment time was 9:00am). So not only did we start late, WE FINISHED EARLY. When I pointed that out, she told me she wasn't the person who was late. SO HOW DOES THAT EXPLAIN FINISHING UP EARLY TOO?!!!

Then I asked if she used the Essential oils. She hesitated and then said, "NO". I showed her the ad (on the phone) saying it was included (it's something they charge an extra $10 for usually) and she just sat there with a rather dense look on her face. I did give her a $5 tip saying I usually tipped $10 for an hour massage but didn't think the situation called for a nice tip.

When I got home, I went to their website and left a message for the owner, Rae, asking that she contact me. She hasn't. I cannot recommend either the service or the customer service. There are far too many people doing massage to go to one that does not treat you fairly.

I would recommend Applause Therapeutic Massage at 441 Wadsworth. Ask for Lauren--she did a fabulous job.
