***GROUPON****
I used a groupon for 90 minute reflexology and acupressure. I personally thought the reflexology side of the massage was the better part of my 1 1/2 hours. 45 minute foot massage was awesome. I asked him to work on my calves too and he did a good job. The ending to the foot massage is different from most places, he swung my legs and hip around in circles which felt awesome afterwards.
The pressure from the acupressure was on the medium to light side. I didn't leave with the usual back soreness that you get from hard handed masseuses. The back massage is in the open room area separated by dividers. It was a bit uncomfortable being out in the open room.
Definitely worth the groupon, I'm not sure how much they charge retail though so probably won't see me back unless another groupon comes out.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - gerry r.Germantown, MD0131Apr 17, 2013
I had a Groupon for 60 minutes of reflexology and acupressure. This is NOT reflexology. Reflexology should focus on specific zones of the feet, it should include a consultation about your health and lifestyle with a trained person to assess the feet and then stimulate various points to identify areas of tenderness or tension. This was NOT reflexology. This was a foot rub, a very hard foot rub, with a tub of Vaseline. There was no consultation, because there was no one there who spoke English well. Even my "Ow that hurts" with inflection did not have an impact. I guess "Ow" is not part of the universal language of "stop."
Also, after being covered in a towel, the towel was refolded and put back on the chair for the next client. I had a short massage on a table in the front lobby. The liner for where you place your face was changed (Bounty towels) but the sheets that were under me were not. The towel that was over me (I was fully clothed) was also refolded and put back on the table for the next person.
Save your money.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Beth H.Montgomery Village, MD4926May 21, 2013Updated review
I've been back a few times since my initial review. I've had the same masseuse each time until tonight - it was a woman instead. She did a great job as well, though not QUITE as well as the man. I'm still a fan. However, when I was leaving, she asked me for a tip, which I find offensive. I was planning to give one anyway (and still did) but she shouldn't ask. It's the customer's right to tip or not tip.
That said, I'll still go back. The massage is great if you really need your knots worked out.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 22, 2012Previous reviewI went in for a 7pm appointment, using a Groupon for 45 minutes reflexology and 45 minutes acupressure massage. Honestly, the reflexology wasn't for me. I haven't had one before, but was told by someone who has had one that during hers (at another place), the person working on her was able to talk to her about her various ailments, based on what she was "reading" off my friend's feet. I sort of expected something like that, or at least a good food massage. The person working on me spoke no English, which was tough. The reflexology massage was really light touch, more just rubbing lotion on my legs for the majority of the time, and touch so light it was tickling my feet. I found myself hoping it would be over soon.
BUT - then I laid on the table for the acupressure massage. Wow, it was amazing. I've had many massages, and never one this strong. I feel like every knot in my muscles got worked out in a way I've never experienced before. It was AMAZING.
Downsides: The masseuse also didn't speak English (during my late-hour visit, nobody there did...that was difficult), and there was no privacy - the massage tables are right in the open lobby area, with screens dividing them. You're fully clothed, but if I were there during a busy day, I don't know that I would have loved that. It's not a tranquil spa experience. My masseuse and the other worker there talked to each other in (I assume) Chinese the entire time I was being worked on. If I was there to relax and have a spa experience, I wouldn't have liked that.
So, if you're looking for a serene spa experience, go elsewhere. But if you're looking for an AWESOME massage that really works every muscle hard, this may be the place for you. I'm glad I went. I won't go back for reflexology, but I will go back for another acupressure massage the next time the stress gets to me. - Vic M.Navarre, FL387913Sep 24, 2011
The place is clean and I don't recall any rudeness. Maybe some language barrier type stuff, but that can be expected. Generally, an okay place.
I do want to point out that you aren't getting a solitary experience if you are getting a foot spa treatment. You are seated next to others getting the same thing. This wasn't an issue for me during my visit, since I was the only one.
They do provide massage as well, that might be more private.
I've only been here once, so keep that in mind.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 12, 2012
I had the Google offer for 29 bucks for an hour, which was half hour of foot reflexology and half hour table massage. I went with a friend and first we went into a two chair room and covered with a blanket during initial foot soaking. It was a pretty vigorous foot massage, extending to the calves. Typical of what I have gotten on trips to Asia. Then, moved to table, face down for shoulders, back and arms. Both of us ended up with that groggy I-want-to-sleep feeling one gets after a good massage. The website offers a 20% off coupon and prices are reasonable. It is a bit of a drive from home but I will go back. They do try and get you to buy tickets/coupons afterwards but while they are offering the 20% off, not sure I see the point in buying. IMHO. Street parking only. The lot is a bit of a walk.

Fabulous traditional Chinese foot massage! The ambiance in the spa is calming, centering, and very pleasant. In the reflexology massage room there are three treatment chairs, so you can come and get a treatment with your friends or family. This is the first place I've found since my trip to China where I could get the traditional foot massage. I immediately bought a book of treatment tickets. Warning: a half hour is not enough. Go for at least a 45 minute session.

Came bc of a Groupon and a much needed date night with my husband. I had the lady masseuse he had the gentleman masseuse and we were in separate rooms for the body massage which was AMAZING!! Some points were tougher than others but very relaxing afterwards. The foot massage made my husband squirm because he was so ticklish but I thought it felt fantastic and both are masseuses were laughing we had a good time. We came on a Sunday afternoon and nobody else was in the shop which made it even better. We will return soon and often!

Really great massage! I got acupressure massage and reflexology, my massage therapist was Gilbert. He is amazing, found some really great spots on my back that needed to be released. So good!

People here are polite and nice. However, if you want a good massage, DO NOT go there. We went there once with coupon deal for 90 min. massage. However, both of us felt it is the worse/less massage we ever had. Basically, they just lightly tough your feet and not sure what they are doing. My Kid can do a much better job than them. If they want better business, they has to train and have better masseuse.

If you're after a foot massage then it's ok. If you want a decent, relevant, restoring back massage, look elsewhere. I've never had a massage where I had to keep my shirt on, you just don't get anything out of it. The problem is that there's no privacy or space so; forget "table massage"as they call it, it's next to worthless.
