Honestly very confusing at first entry as they pointed me to the bathroom. The massage was intense and good at one point I had her HOOHA on the back oft head which was awkward as hell TBH. At end of an hour $70 she asked me for the tip as they only take cash. I was like $85 at the end of the day with tip. Back was back to hurting the next few hours
Terrible. The place is clean, but that’s where the compliments stop. I get massages regularly on a bi-weekly basis. My regular massage place changed to new owners and so I decided to give this place a try. I went on a Tuesday at 1:30 and the place was empty. I asked for 1 hour. A young girl started and about 10 minutes into the massage, the older lady (I assume the owner) came in and started massaging me as well. She was very rough, pulling my hair at times, and asked me all kinds of personal questions such as why I don’t have children and why is my back so tight. Also they were speaking to each other in Chinese the ENTIRE time. Completely unprofessional and not relaxing in the least. She also asked me if I was paying with cash or credit card DURING my massage. At 28 minutes in, she stopped massaging, got hot towels and informed me they had lots of upcoming afternoon appointments. I was very confused but got up and went to the front to pay. I was charged $60 for 28 minutes. I paid but making note that it will be my last visit there. I spoke to my mom who went there 2 weeks prior and they did the same thing to her. 2 people massaging you for half hour but charging one hour. The young girl didn’t seem to know what she was doing and both of them were very erratic and all over the place. My back and neck hurt worse now after. Also, I sat in the parking lot for a good 25 minutes afterward and there was no one coming or going. Just want to warn anyone so you don’t make the same mistake I did. I wasted $80 with tip for a half hour of aggravation.
Update July 2021... I had my last appointment here last week after being a regular for 9 months seeing the friendly and smiling faces of John, Lily, Annie, Xixi, Judy and a few others. Sometimes I went for 60 minutes and sometimes 90, but they were always good and thorough. They are now all gone and it is not the same attention to detail. This was the first time that I ever had an hour massage with all 60 minutes being face down. I will be taking my regular business somewhere else from now on... 9 months earlier... I had my first visit to Relaxation Sensation and it was great. One of the best massages that I have ever had. Lily was awesome. I will be back.
Great place for a real Chinese massage anytime of day, very friendly, clean and appreciative of your business. Usually no wait, someone is available most of the time and they are open late. They are experienced masseuses from China and some have experience from Japan, they find the problem areas and focus on them using multiple techniques and styles in the session, walking on my back is my favorite. Many times they ran over time at no additional cost. Don't expect a lot of talk, their English is rough, but they will work you like a baker kneeding dough if you tell them to. Did a 4 hands massage, big difference in working the muscles, it works opposite muscles that unknowingly tense up when a single person is working a single group. Takes half the time, sore muscles feel much better, I'll take that over having a meditative experience.
The massage was good. I had asked for neck, shoulders and upper back. The therapist was strong enough even though she was a small person. It was very Asian inside which I didn't expect from the outside. Very dark inside and no calming music. I would go again. Price was fair.
