Some of the other factors that can impact the cost of your massage can include:
- Duration– for example, a 60-minute Swedish massage at the Atlanta Wellness Studio costs $125 with a Groupon deal.
- Location– whether in Midtown, Downtown, or East Atlanta, different neighborhoods often vary in their price ranges.
- Type of treatment – full body massages and deep tissue massages are popular in Atlanta.
Additional extras, such as drinks on arrival and hot stones, can increase the price of your massage while increasing your levels of relaxation. However, with our massage specials, you'll already be making a saving – so why not treat yourself?
What is the best massage for beginners?
Generally, most beginners find Swedish massages the most comfortable. Gentle and relaxing, the treatment targets knots and tension.
When you arrive for a massage, your therapist will use long flowing strokes – without applying too much pressure – to help you unwind.

Hot stone massages are equally relaxing for beginners and are similar in technique, but use warm stones to ease any muscle tension and help you fully relax.
More intense massages, such as a sports massage or deep tissue, are best avoided if you're a beginner, unless you have a particular injury and your doctor has recommended the treatment.

How much should you tip for a massage?
15% to 20% is an acceptable amount to tip for your massage. Of course, you can tip more or less depending on your experience and the quality of your therapist.

It's polite to leave the standard 15%, but don't feel under any pressure to leave a larger tip if you're unhappy with your service. We recommend calculating your tip based on the original cost of your massage, not the discounted price you've enjoyed with your deal.
