Beautiful Star Thai Massage — Local services in Taipei

I wanted to experience the massage at this place more than once before I reviewed it. The first time I got the 2 hour aroma therapy oil massage with therapist no. 28. She did an excellent job - the massage was soothing, relieved pain that I had been experiencing for months and I was very pleased. I did notice that the 2 hour massage ended in 1 hour and 45 minutes. But they did a foot soak for 5 minutes and I know a few other places that include that in the massage time so I didn't think anything of it. The second time I went, I chose to do the 1 hour aroma therapy massage. And to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. I was told that for the 1 hour massage there was no foot soak and the full hour was the massage. The therapist sets the timer and puts it away to get started on the massage. I asked her to show me the timer and I noticed it was set for 54 minutes. I asked her to set it for 60 minutes and she did it but that she tried to end the massage 6 minutes earlier was not very professional. Her massaging style was very fast and aggressive and she put more pressure than I liked, to the point where I actually felt severe pain and yelled out. She never adjusted the pressure in spite of that. She also spent what seemed like at least 40 minutes only massaging my back and then rushed through all the other parts. I had asked her specifically to focus on massaging my head and she only did that for a few minutes and as soon as the alarm went off, she said ok, we're done and walked away! Every massage therapist goes for at least a few minutes after the alarm, especially since they walk away for 5 minutes or more to get the hot towels mid massage. The worst part was that I was left with a horrible, stiff pain on my right shoulder after the massage. So I left the massage feeling worse than before I went there! When I complained to the front desk and told them that I would pay more but could I please get 10 more minutes for the head massage, she tried to charge me 200 twd more for the 10 minutes. I would have been fine with 100 twd more, so as to respect the therapist's time too. But to try and charge me 200 after it was the therapist's fault in the first place was ridiculous and extortionist behavior. The front desk lady apologized to me for my less than satisfactory experience, but did NOTHING to make up for it. In spite of the very unprofessional behavior and awful massage, I would go back, but only if therapist 28 is available and only for the 2...

Went as a couple and found a good environment, friendly workers and massage that varies from hard to relaxing depending on who you get. Good idea to make appointment to ensure someone is available. It is an easy...
