ROCK SPA CLUB — Attraction in South Orange

There are two parking spots in the tiny lot (first two with cones) but lots of street parking. DO NOT park in the other spots in the lot, as the owner of the coffee place will tow your car.

A walk down the steps takes you to a very clean, sterile, relaxing environment. The young woman at the desk takes you to your room and asks what you’re looking for - BE SPECIFIC bc chances are your therapist doesn’t speak English. The rooms are very simple. They start with a massage over the sheet, which was very nice. Then, aromatherapy oil on bare skin, and when she leaves the room and you’re not sure whether it’s over, she comes back with hot stones - and they are flat and hot and wonderful (you wonder how she can touch it), and does a once over. Then she uses a hot liquid which is a great sensation, but if you don’t want it, tell the young lady at the start. She will use a hot washcloth to wipe everything down and clean you off. Then, you’ll flip over for your neck and face. They also massage your butt - which felt great and was a massage I didn’t know I needed. I asked for firm pressure - I’ll likely ask for medium next time. This is a non-traditional massage in a sense that you get a deep rub down as opposed to the tricks from another MT place. I can feel where I got worked, knots gone, but can feel where I am still sore (from gym/everyday). Noise - you can definitely hear people talking outside but I was so relaxed, it mostly got tuned out. Card - if paying with a card expect to pay $63.98 for a 60-min. Tip - a bit uncomfortable process. They really need to just have tiny envelopes to place a cash tip in and leave it in the room or at the desk. Your therapist will likely wait for a tip. I do think that tips are a great bonus and people should be comfortable in making the decision if they want to leave one and for how much. I’ll be back. The massage is a delight and the best I’ve found in the area - I come from Morris County to enjoy! I...

I came in February of 2023 and enjoyed my couples massage, but came on 8/21/23 and did not. The masseuses looked angry the whole entire time and did not say hello when they walked in. They were chatting during the massage together and even laughing. When they left to go get towels they kept the door open while my buttocks was uncovered. Someone could have passed by and seen me naked because they left the door open. The bed was not warmed and I had to ask for it to be turned on halfway through the massage. The lights were kept on during the entire massage. When they wiped the oil off my body they used a cold, wet towel. Lastly, when I was paying both masseuses we’re standing there watching me pay the bill and staring at me waiting for their tip. I was trying to exchange cash at the front desk for a tip and it made me very uncomfortable that they were standing and watching me the whole time waiting for me to give them their tip. There should be tip jars with each masseuses name so you don’t have to have them stand on top of you. After I gave them their tip they immediately started counting it and made a face even though I tipped them both 20% for talking during the massage & exposing my buttocks. The area and bathroom was very clean both times i’ve been here and making appointments is very easy. The price is great compared to other spas. The 60 minute massage is mainly focused on the back & forearms and you are face down. Briefly you are face up.The hot stones are used for about 2 minutes then left on your back while they...

My boyfriend and I went for couples massages for my birthday and as far as massages, these were some of the best massages I’ve ever received absolutely no complaint about services rendered. However when it came time to pay and the demand of the tip was absolutely ridiculous. She forces a 25% tip on the bill and claimed she could not take it off. She asked can we get cash, we got the cash from there ATM and she told me to get the tip out too. I told her once again we’re not tipping today. (I’ve been before and usually tip but it was my birthday and I didn’t want too… simple as that.) The receptionist then says to me, “But they make there money from tips, you have to.” I told her no we don’t. I don’t know what type of illegal under the table operation is going on there but if your masseur is only relying on tips for there wages that sounds like an issue the labor department and irs should be made aware of. I don’t appreciate being embarrassed in front of other patrons and the workers eagerly looking at you guilting you into tipping. After the back and forth my boyfriend was sick of it and ended up tipping both masseur in cash. Tips are optional if you want to make it mandatory incorporate in your pricing and automatically give them a percentage. Aside from that terrible business practice they actually do good massages. Once you get to the payment portion be prepared to spar with them because even if you do tip they will actually tell you, you didn’t tip enough. I think I’ll stick with the real spa I’ve...
