Disgusted

Posted on April 25, 2013 by Guest

What an unprofessional group of people Massage Envy has working in their northern San Diego location.  The girls who work there are young and have a bad attitude.  Like many of the 20 somethings today, they cannot handle any kind of feedback that is not 100% positive about your experience there.  They are rude and snippy, and act like they’re doing you a favor by taking your money for what is often a mediocre massage.  It is obvious that these franchisees are only in this to make money and not to provide excellent customer service–because all they care about is making a buck, taking your money, cheating you out of your time that you’ve paid for, and making the whole … Read More

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

Posted on April 25, 2013 by Guest

A few weeks ago, I went to Massage Envy for my first massage ever. My massage therapist talked during the ENTIRE massage, and the massage itself was very mediocre. When I was checking out, they let me know they had over 30 massage therapists, and that perhaps I could try someone else next time. I agreed, and after seeing the “Member” discount on the wall, asked if I could become a member. Of course the girl at the desk signed me up, did not explain ANYTHING about it to me (all I saw was the sign on the wall that said I could get one reduced-price massage per month). Because she didn’t explain anything, I assumed it was just a … Read More

SINFUL!

Posted on March 13, 2013 by Guest

Massage Envy is the Walmart of massage. And just like Walmart the top guys make massive amounts of money and the people working hard to please their clients are a paycheck away from welfare. Working there full time being single with children i am eligible for food stamps :(
They don’t care about their workers , making them do their massages and all the things a real spa would hire a spa attendant for, like laundry and hauling around 25 pound laundry bags when they do have a minute to themselves for no pay. They do really well and cut corners anywhere they can and some of it would make you double think your membership!… Read More

Misled

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Guest

I am incredibly disheartened by my experiences with Massage Envy.  I was recommended by a friend to join massage envy and enjoyed my initial experience. I had emphasized to the lady that signed me up that my job tends to move me around a lot and I need to be able to cancel it if I end up somewhere a Massage Envy is not convenient. She assured me that would not be a problem. Sure enough my job moved me and I called to cancel (the closest Massage Envy was 45 miles away.) 10 or so months later I have a charge of $472 on my FSA account. ABSURD! Not sure how  I had a charge let alone a hefty … Read More

Massage Envy treats it’s therapists like sh*t

Posted on February 21, 2013 by Guest

If by chance you actually still go to a Massage Envy, by all means at least treat your therapist kindly. The owners of the location I work for (soon to *not* work for) treat their (licensed and highly trained) therapists like they are a dime a dozen. And will even tell the therapists this. The pay is crap, and we depend on gratuities in order to make ends meet. The owners even pick and choose who to give holiday bonuses to based on whether or not they “like” a therapists personally. Seriously, I have this I’m writing. They rip off therapists by doing shady (and often illegal) payroll practices, sick and vacation time is nonexistent, there are no medical benefits, … Read More

miss led

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Guest

Had the contract, credit card on file had expired, so was 3 mos. in arrears. Had 5 un-used massages that were already paid for and was told that in order to use them, I would have to pay the 3 months unpaid monthly fee ($59×3) in order to use them. If I didn’t do that, I could not get the 5 massages. I offered to pay the full, non-member price of $98/massage in order to use that $~300 credit and the answer was no! So I am stuck w/~$300 already paid for massages that I can’t get, because I am not a current member!!! This is the worst business policy I have ever encountered!! NEVER SIGN A CONTRACT W/MASSAGE ENVY!! … Read More
