I find it a very uncomfortable experience to leave bad feedback on a business, however I simply must in this instance. As a male customer who has regular massages, I was keen to find somewhere a little closer to home than my regular massage therapist so I booked in. Now let me be frank, The therapist is a lovely person and very friendly, however the massage itself left a lot to be desired. Based on my experience, my best guess is that male customers are perhaps not normally catered for? I booked in for a 90 minute relaxation massage after a very difficult week with family health problems and I left even more stressed out than before simply because the experience was so uncomfortable. The massage lasted 60 minutes, not 90, which is fine and likely was a miscommunication. However, it consisted of my neck, back, lower legs and the far outside of my hamstrings only. This in particular is what made me think the issue was my gender, because I know of no massage therapist who omit the quads, glutes, and middle part of the hamstrings in any normal massage. Like I said, it is nothing against the therapist personally and I'd be very curious to know if I'm right about what the problem was that particular day. I presented well groomed and I did not even hint at seeing this as anything more than a professional service. Unfortunately I know a lot of men give the rest of us a bad name. If I'm right, I wish they had simply stated on the phone that they offer these services to female clients only.

Approximate cost: $85.00

Have been here for massage, facial and spray tanning and I must say she's the best! Beautiful little studio. She's really friendly and knows her stuff. She's been in the industry for years. Uses a lot of organic products. Prices are fantastic. You'll love it!
