We got out first Yelp review yesterday, after two weeks being open, and he summed up our intentions perfectly: “clean and attractive space, relaxing, excellent prices, good communication, and most important, great massage from people who know what they're doing and who listen” See our Yelp page for full review. We were very proud.
