Dragon Massage

Do not waste your money! This place is just a sleazy «rub and tug». When the woman physically offer the extra service and I decline she became upset and demanded an obscene tip.

Excellent massage. Full body traditional Chinese style. Affordable. The owner was attentive to sore areas while still focussing enough pressure to loosen the knots. She went the extra distance to ensure that I was completely satisfied. Skilled hands.

This was the second time I tried to get the foot reflexology at this place. Both times I was told no with no explanation. Tonight I was the only car in the lot. Obviously they don’t want business or maybe business from women! Off to where I know I can get what I need and want. So long Dragon.

This place has been in town awhile, and I kept checking back to see if anyone had reviewed it so I could have an idea of what to expect and whether it would be worth trying. Since nobody had, I was hesitant to go here and pay $ 28 for the same massage as the foot reflexology place next to Jelly Donut that charges $ 19.99. Tonight, I just really wanted a massage, I have chronic pain and other health issues and massages tend to help me. I went to the other place and even though they were open until 10:30, they had two appointments coming in and couldn’t take me.
So, I figured tonight is the night I’ll try Dragon, didn’t care that it cost more, I just hurt and wanted one. I didn’t remember exactly where it was, and went the opposite direction on the highway, back to Joshua Lane. At that point I knew I had passed it and pulled over to pull it up online, saw where it was, and decided to call and make sure they could take me and were open since no hours are listed and I would have to drive back across town to get there. This was at about 8:45 pm. My exact question when calling was, «I wanted to see if you were open and have time for a massage?» The lady on the phone replied that yes, they were open. I said great, I’ll be right there. Notice, she did not actually answer the part where I asked if she had time for a massage.
I drove back over there, pulled in feeling happy and relieved that I will be getting a massage right now after all. She came out to greet me, smiled and asked if I called. I said yes. She said ok, come back, opens the door to a massage table, and says, «Half hour ok?» I said no, I wanted the one hour foot massage. She kept repeating that half hour was ok and we could do an hour next time. This was because they were closing and she did not, in fact, have time for a massage.
She was a bit pushy about me getting a half hour massage. It’s not a good deal to do those, as the price is $ 18 for a half hour or $ 28 for an hour. I had planned to give her a full $ 40 for the one hour massage (since these places expect obscene tips.) I can’t afford massages all the time, so it’s important to get a good value when I do go. I didn’t want to take that $ 40 and spend most of it for only half of what it was supposed to buy, so I said no thank you if that’s all you will do.
I expressed frustration that I called ahead so that I wouldn’t drive there for no reason and still drove there for no reason. I asked why she didn’t tell me she didn’t have time for a full massage on the phone but she didn’t seem to understand me, which most likely was the problem in the first place. I asked if she could tell me their hours since I couldn’t find them online. She thought I was asking the price, and kept saying $ 50 for a body massage with oil. Great, she’s trying to upsell me a more expensive massage now, but not for tonight, they’re closing. Finally, she understood that I was asking the hours. In case anyone is interested, they are open till 10 pm Monday through Friday and 9 pm on Saturday and Sunday. You’re welcome.
I just wanted to get out of here now, frustrated and annoyed at having wasted time and gas, and sad because I was sore and these were the only two foot reflexology places in town. So, I don’t know how the massages are, I very much wish I could report on that but I can’t. But I do know this is no way to treat customers or run a business. Disappointing.
