    If I could give them a zero, I would. I really don’t like writing negative reviews, but I feel it’s warranted. Honestly, I just want this out there so I can help others avoid the headache I’m currently dealing with. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!! I’ve been a member of Massage Envy for YEARS and I was so happy with them until it came to cancelling. Due to increased expenses, I decided to cancel my membership with them. I reached out on 6/25 about this. They said I had to pay the current month - fine. So I did. I was told that they would email the cancellation form and a manager would reach out within 48 hours. That did not happen.

    I reached out again on the 28th, no answer. I reached out again on 7/3, they only answered about the form, stating that they sent it on the 25th but will resend it if "I can’t seem to locate it". It was not sent, I checked everywhere. I still have not received it. I had to ask AGAIN about management reaching out and they finally said the manager would reach out today (7/3). NADA. Mind you I tried calling a couple times too and they never answered. So I called again 7/4 and left a voicemail since they are closed, along with two texts stating that I need this form and to have a manager call me first thing. Seems like this is a pretty common thing for them, and it’s unfortunate. I’m just hoping at this point I’m not out all my credits, and they aren’t trying to make me add yet ANOTHER month to it. I will update this post once I have more information, but please save yourself the hassle and take your business elsewhere!!!

    I had an appointment for a treatment. The aesthetician stopped after about 5 minutes saying she couldn’t continue because my skin had started to bleed. I was mortified. I’ve had treatments at other places before and never experienced this. When I got dressed and was leaving she was on the phone with the manager. She said the manager would call me the next day. The manager did not. I emailed and called over the next few weeks and never received a call back.

    I had been given a gift card for Massage Envy. I tried another location. This time I was the one who stopped the treatment. The aesthetician was using an electric back massager. I had already told her once that it was too much pressure and it hurt but she said it was supposed to and kept going. After a few minutes I told her to stop and I wanted to leave. I was not charged for this appointment. The next day I had bruises on my back. Big blue black bruises. So now I have a useless gift card. I’ve tried to reach a Massage Envy corporate office. The phone number and email I found searching online did not work. I called one of the local locations and had no success getting the correct information from them. DO NOT PATRONIZE ANY LOCATION AND DO NOT PURCHASE A GIFT CARD FOR ANYONE YOU KNOW.

    I bought a 12 month package, they said I got a free facial with the package. I made an appointment for my free facial, they took it out from my paid facials, without me knowing. Then I went back to give my daughter a facial from my account and learned that my free facial was actually charged to my account. So, then they said my daughter 's would be free then since I got charged for the last one when I made the appointment. Went in for my daughter's facial and the manager Alyssa refused to give me my free facial and charged it from my account again. She stated "What do you want me to do about it", refusing to honor a free facial that I was promised and never received. Manager was incredibly unprofessional and disheveled. Very rude staff.

    Many consumers seek relaxation and wellness through massage therapy, often turning to popular chains like Massage Envy. However, beneath the promise of tranquility lies a troubling reality of consumer malpractice. One common tactic employed by Massage Envy is enticing customers to sign up for monthly plans with the allure of accumulating credits towards future massages. During the 2020 pandemic, a promotional offer surfaced, promising increased credits for those who remained on the monthly plan. Tempted by the prospect of additional benefits, many consumers, including myself, opted to stay enrolled.

    However, what Massage Envy fails to communicate adequately is the catch associated with cancelling your subscription. Upon cancellation, consumers are given a mere 30-day window to utilize all accrued credits. This restriction effectively coerces customers into either forfeiting their hard-earned credits or rushing to book appointments, potentially resulting in subpar experiences.

    Furthermore, another hidden clause surfaces when consumers undergo life changes, such as changing employers and obtaining a new medical card. In such instances, Massage Envy freezes the customer's account, rendering them unable to access any pre-paid credits. This freeze leaves consumers stranded, unable to redeem the services they've already paid for, effectively wasting hundreds of dollars.

    Such predatory business practices not only deceive consumers but also exploit their trust and financial resources. It's crucial to shed light on these unethical behaviors to protect unsuspecting individuals seeking wellness and relaxation. Massage Envy must be held accountable for its misleading tactics and pressured to implement fair and transparent policies that prioritize consumer welfare over profit margins. In conclusion, consumers must remain vigilant and informed about the terms and conditions of service providers like Massage Envy to avoid falling victim to exploitative practices. Only through awareness and advocacy can we combat consumer malpractice and promote a marketplace built on integrity and fairness.

    I have been a member of ME (this location specifically) for OVER 10 years. The last 4-5 years (before Covid was declining, after Covid APPALLING) There are never appointments available online or via their app, and if you call (they don't answer) or go in they MIGHT be able to schedule you for something 1-3 months out. Good luck trying to get in they have only 12/13 therapist on staff. I was there on a Sunday in December 2023 and they had one massage therapist and one person doing facials and had to close by 4 pm because they have no staff.

    I have 6 friends in the same boat as me with a bank full of paid massage credits (2 years worth if I could get in Monthly - $2,500+) and we can't get in. And yet they are still signing people up. DON'T Waste your money!!! Customer service is disgraceful and management will not help you or provide you with any kind of resolution. They will however threaten to cancel your membership if you assertively, yet calming ask them for a remedy. There is a reason they have an F rating on the BBB and I lost count of how many 1 star reviews on Google. THEY DO NOT CARE! I have been lied to several times about policies and now threatened. This company is nothing more than thieves. They take your money and do not have the ability to provide the services they are selling. If you try and cancel you will have 60 days to use your credits. Now how is that possible when you have to wait sometimes 2 months to even get in for ONE service.

    Dear Massage Envy Management, I am writing to formally request the cancellation of my membership contract and a full refund of the charges incurred, based on a significant service discrepancy at your West 43rd location in Houston, Texas. In early December 2023, I inquired specifically about lymphatic drainage massages at your establishment, following my 360-lipo surgery. A representative confirmed the availability of this service, and based on this information, I signed up for a membership. However, on my visit on December 11th for the said service, it became apparent that the staff were not qualified to perform the lymphatic drainage massage, specifically in relation to post-surgery care. This was not only surprising but also concerning, given the explicit reasons for my membership.

    Despite attempts by your staff to resolve the situation, there has been no satisfactory outcome. The suggestion that I need a doctor's note to cancel my membership under these circumstances is unreasonable, especially since the service I signed up for was misrepresented. Moreover, I am now hesitant to trust the qualifications of any alternative therapists you might suggest, given the potential health risks involved in my case. Therefore, I do not wish to continue with the membership under these uncertain and potentially unsafe conditions. As such, I request a full refund of the amount debited ($75) and immediate cancellation of my contract without any additional charges or requirements. This request is based on the grounds of misrepresentation of services and the inability of your facility to fulfill the agreed-upon service. I hope for a prompt and positive response in this matter.

    All excited about my 1st massage and really feeling relaxed after - I was VERY DISAPPOINTED when I was trying to leave and being badgered to sign up for a membership. I said no repeatedly and the staff did not care. Finally, just to get out I agreed and signed something without having time to think. Only to realize later, the “membership” is ONLY if you continue to be charged whether you use it or not. I didn’t get a copy of the contract until I went in months later. I gifted my daughter one of the monthly massages and she experienced the same thing. She was so stressed after the massage from being badgered- she regretted going. THIS IS A RIP OFF.

    When you sign up for a subscription, what they don't tell you is that to cancel it, you must CALL the SPECIFIC LOCATION to not be charged anymore. An automated system texts you if they are unable to run your card, but if you tell them that you'd like to cancel, they say nothing about the need to contact the store directly. Then, when you continue to get charged, you have no recourse, because you haven't called. Again, none of this is explained. Avoid the scam. Don't sign up for the membership, and don't waste your time with horrible customer service when you try to cancel.

    After 24 years in the military and all the "beating up," I put my body through, whether willingly or unwillingly. I needed to find a way to rehabilitate my broken and aching body. That answer came after my first full-body stretch with Tim at Massage Envy in Arundel Mills Mall, Maryland!!! I am not one to write reviews; nevertheless, I had to share this with the rest of my military community (both retired and active duty) and a wider audience. Both my right shoulder (rotator cuff) and left knee were severely damaged after injuries in the service and years of "playing tough." Don't get me wrong! I did physical therapy in the service, but that was nothing compared to the treatment and results I have obtained from Tim. After two sessions, both the flexibility and pain in both my knees and shoulder have improved. I am now a believer that pressure stretching works!!! Don't play tough like me! Go check Tim out; I promise you won't regret it!!! Thanks Tim.

    Do not sign up for any memberships with Massage Envy. They bill you monthly, but you cannot schedule appointments monthly, if you do not schedule 3-6 months in advance they will not have openings. Another downside is scheduling so far in advance only to have them cancel appointments due to therapists being out or leaving. You build up so much, then when you cancel, you can't even get what you paid for. Total disappointment and definitely not worth the money!

    My Father is sick and can no longer use his Massage Envy membership. Therefore he transferred the funds/membership to me. I went on October 18th and had a lovely massage. I spoke to one of the girls at the front desk who let me know she'll cancel my father's membership (this was a lengthy conversation) but that I have 60 days to take the last 2 massage appointments. So I booked for 11/29 and 12/13 and left in a GREAT mood.

    Something at work came up for 12/13, so i called today to cancel. I spoke to a woman who claimed she was the "manager" and she was outrageously mean from the second she picked up the phone call. She compeletely gaslighted me and told me her employees would never cancel a membership without paperwork and that the situation never happened. I said to her verbatim "Please don't tell me how it went you were not there." and she says "Don't curse at me!" and hung up the phone. This left me completely perplexed because not for one moment, would I think about cursing at someone at Massage Envy.

    She then manipulated the situation, proceeded to BAN me from the location and tell my mom I called someone there a **. Whoever the staff is here, is horrible, you should be ashamed of yourself.

    I called multiple times to cancel my subscription with Massage Envy (Sunset Ridge location in San Antonio, TX) but was charged anyway and haven't received my money back from them. The two managers (Calayo and his manager) repeatedly said over the course of one month, that they would cancel the subscription and send me an email verification on the cancelation. They also refused to print a copy of policies and terms that I signed when I started my subscription.

    To start: On Sep. 13, I called to cancel and was told a manager would call me back in a few days to confirm cancelation, but no callback was received. On Sep. 22, I called to follow up and was told a manager would email me to confirm cancelation. No email was received. I called again later and was told the manager still hadn't gotten to it but was working on it presently and would email me within 20-30 minutes to confirm cancelation. No email was received. I called in again about an hour or two later and was told the manager wouldn't send me verification of cancelation but would definitely complete the cancelation by the end of the day. After all of those promises, a charge for the subscription was still withdrawn from my account on Oct. 13.

    I called and spoke with Calayo about the charge that shouldn't have been withdrawn. Instead of apologizing and returning my money, he "blamed the victim," saying that I had been told the cancelation policy during my first call to cancel on Sep. 13, and, therefore, I "knew" the policy. He ignored the fact that telling customers your cancelation policy after they sign up is unethical. He then tried another angle by asking if I'd signed the cancelation paperwork. I told him the multiple administrators I'd spoken with and the managers who promised to cancel my subscription did not mention the need to sign a paper. He did not respond to that. Overall, it felt like he was trying to push the blame onto me while not acknowledging the lack of communication on how to cancel and without acknowledging the repeated lies from managers who said they'd cancel my subscription and send me verification.

    I then asked what the cancelation fee would be, and he said the cancelation fee would be the full 12-month's worth of subscription fees. Of course, I balked at the policy. Calayo then said he'd ask the "back end" if he could cancel my subscription, and he'd call me back. When we next spoke, he said the rest of the subscription would be canceled, but the first charge would remain. He said he'd have to call the "back end" a second time to ask if my initial charge could be refunded. I should have told him to call them again to get the charge reversed as that should have been addressed in the first call, but I was worn out and just glad to get the rest of it canceled. I couldn't trust them, though, so I immediately had my bank put a stop payment on Massage Envy so they couldn't charge me in the future. I received no verification email of the promised cancelation from the "back end."

    Oct 16th 11:50 AM. I wanted to know if they had informed me of their cancelation policy before subscription signup. So, I called Massage Envy and requested my signed original terms and conditions and cancelation verification be printed and available for pickup by the end of the day. Kynee answered my call and said Calayo was in the office only until 3 PM, but she'd be in all day. She said she would relay my message to Calayo to print my original signed terms and conditions and a copy of the cancelation verification. Keni said she'd call me back to let me know when the documents were available at the front desk for pickup.

    1:52 PM No call back was received yet, so I called but was told by the answering service rep that no one was available. 2:05 PM I called again but was told by the answering service rep, John Michael, that no one was available. He said he'd leave a message for the office to call me back as soon as they returned. 2:15 PM I left work early and drove to Massage Envy; Kynee was at the front desk and recognized me and called me by name as I walked in. She held up a business card with a note written on it; she referred to it as her note to call me back, which she hadn't done. She said the manager told her he wouldn't return to the office for the rest of the day. She said she'd see him first thing in the morning and speak with him about printing my paperwork and promised to follow up with me after that.

    I eventually called again but was told by Kynee that the manager had run out of printer ink and had to order some, so they couldn't print my paperwork and they'd call me back when the papers were ready. I have not heard back from them and still have not received the account paperwork, which legally belongs to me. I disputed the $75.00 transaction through my bank and received my money from them. They have not been able to get ahold of the managers at Massage Envy. Customers, please beware of the inane cancelation policy of this franchise. The managers and Kynee lied on multiple occasions about canceling my subscription and multiple times about printing my signed terms and conditions and cancelation verification. If you cancel or your subscription ends, ensure you put a bank stop so they don't continue withdrawing your money.

    Hi, I have thought about whether or not to send this as I would hate to be a person that causes someone else any issues. However, yesterday I had a massage with Matthew A. and it was the most disturbing and uncomfortable massage I have ever had. I left upset, frustrated, withholding my tears, feeling violated and not too much in worse pain than when I arrived. I could not enjoy my time as he kept smacking, like a high five, to my feet and hands, chanting about three hearts in and chakra or something, I tried to block it out but it felt as though I was being sacrificed but still I tried to ignore the uncomfortableness of what was happening. He continued to swat the sheets and my ways and arms as though he were swatting away bugs, it was scary.

    I tried to have him focus on why I was there for but he seemed to be in his own zone. That was not the end of it, the violation was when towed he wrapped my hair in his hands and aggressively tugged it as though he was tugging on a horse to go. I shout, "Ow that hurt" and he quickly said, "Sorry sorry." But I was afraid to get up and run out I was frozen I just wanted it to be over. My head began pounding my neck was worse. I could not imagine things happening to anyone else. I hope this company does not hire just anyone and that everyone is vetted, because I can believe that this would be ok for any sane individual.

    I immediately tried to tell the young lady at the front desk who seemed to careless and and lack any compassion. I asked for the owner’s number and was given a number the a manager which only happened to be the other store location. I just asked to cancel my service. But I do believe that for the safety of others I will look to post this as a review. I am still in pain from the aggressive tugging of my hair and this is traumatizing because I sit in pain and question myself how could I let this happen. It is unfair to feel this was especially after a paid service. I am just sick to my stomach and get through this pain in it has caused me.

Bottom line is they make you think membership is a great deal, but I can say after 20 years' experience with them, don't join. Once you understand and experience the membership you'll see you got ripped off. It's not a good deal, you are better off going somewhere else. That is my experience with them. I have nothing positive to provide other than say don't fall into the trap I did long ago. I suggest you try a local massage business, you get what you pay for. Massage Envy was great back in the day...just a matter of time before they go under. Such promise, but I'll stay away from a corporate run businesses like Massage Envy going forward. Poorly run to say the least.

    This business is very unprofessional. To begin with, they do not answer their phones consistently. Second, it is VERY hard to get an appointment for a massage because there are not enough staff - so you’re limited to one massage a month. I had accrued several massages from COVID (they continued to bill me every month even though I didn’t use their services) but I couldn’t use my credits because of the staff shortage. It was a no win situation. When I contacted headquarters, they told me to deal with my local Massage Envy which did nothing. So I quit - didn’t even get to use all my credits. It used to be a good business but it has really gone downhill.

    Overall my experience has been the horrible with my Massage Envy, I was talked into getting the membership that I was stuck with and had to use. I opted to use it for their facials since I was not happy with the massage. On one occasion due to my daughter being in the hospital I missed my appointment and was not able to cancel. When I tried to explain that later they said I would need to talk to the location where I got the membership from. I attempted to call them and explain. They said I would need to talk to a manager and they would leave a message for them to call me back. I never received a call. I was stuck with them using my credit.

    I scheduled an appointment for a chemical peel and have gone to many place for a chemical peel and by far massage envy has been the worst. I got my first chemical peel and my face did not peel at all. I explained this to the girl when I set up my second appointment and she assured that there would be no problem that for sure she would use something stronger and I would I peel. Instead I had burns on the side of my chin and my face once again did not peel.

    I have attempted to call many times and speak to a manager and they are never available. Once they had me speak to the lead esthetician who tried to explain to me that you don’t always peel with a chemical peel. If that was the case the girl that did my peel should have said that and not guaranteed that my face would peel. I would have opted to use their services. She assured she would talk to the manager and have them call me back and nothing. I have sent something to massage envy via email and still nothing. Worst experience

    Do not sign up for any long-term contracts with these people .. You'll be sorry .. Was not worth the price that's for sure ... Not happy with the experience and customer service doesn't exist ... They don't want to reciprocate between locations ...You can't get in half the time ... It reminds of the timeshare nightmares people use to have ... Don't do it ...Find a good independent.

    After getting a massage, I signed up for the 60 min massage a month program. Even though I was always on time the masseuse was always slow to get me and always ended well before the hour. Not worth it.

    This place is a scam. I signed up my wife for a membership and she couldn't schedule anything for months because they didn't have an actual massage therapist on staff. Then they got one and double-booked her appointment so they canceled on her. Then they over booked again and she had to drop to a 30 min session instead of a 60 min session. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THEM.

    Today I went for customized facial. Paid $120 for sixty minutes. I was very disappointed. Very surprised that the girl Hali didn’t even rub my whole face. Instead she was putting some lotion or cream on my forehead, chin only then start massaging my both arms then she removed the cream with warm folded cloth then she put the cream on the same place then start massaging my neck and shoulder. Wiped the cream off. Put some lotion on. That’s it! It all took 40 minutes instead of 60 minutes. I went for facial not for massaging my arms and shoulders.

    I have been receiving massages of Mr ** for a year at 9550 Spring Green Blvd, Katy TX. The professionalism and careful massage that I always receive is remarkable. I, like many others, had the prejudice of not getting massages with a man but I must say that I was very wrong since Mr. ** demonstrates his integrity, professionalism, ethics and communication in each session. Do not let our prejudices harm at working and professional people by not opting for a male professional and only choosing female professionals. If you want to feel refreshed and energized, I recommend Mr **.

    Wife booked her first basic massage appointment, advertised for $70. She looked up ‘Craniosacral Massage Therapy’ on Google and one of the top results was for Massage Envy, the only reason she found and booked here. She showed up (on time) for her appointment today and was assigned Anita as her masseuse, who was unacceptably rude, condescending, and overall intense for someone who’s responsible for relaxing a client in prep for massage. Wife gives her benefit of the doubt (assuming she’s probably just had a bad day or something) and overlooks her horrid attitude. Anita then claimed that they don’t do craniosacral massage therapy there; my wife has also been previously suggested ‘trigger point therapy’ so she then mentioned that as well, to which Anita blatantly scoffed and rolled her eyes to my wife’s face with no other response.

    

Wife’s had enough at this point, can’t stand even being in the room with the masseuse for 5 mins let alone be massaged by her… She decides to leave and cancel the service. Staff insist she must pay full price regardless. Technically, this is a same-day cancellation (and done in-store, at that) and, according to ME’s cancellation policy on their website, the customer should only be charged 50% of the price of the service for a same-day cancellation, which in this case would be around $35. They immediately proceed to charge $125 to my credit card and then delete all record of my wife’s scheduled appointment having ever existed from their system. 

Other reviews have echoed similar experiences.

    This place CLEARLY cares nothing for their customers or quality of service or professionalism, and are exhibiting extremely dubious business practices and deceitful marketing. I’m now having to go through my bank to reverse the fraudulent charges. Already reported this location to the BBB. Avoid this place like the plague!

    Portland OR ME closed with no notice to me. I arrived for my appointment to a boarded up storefront. Tried to get my money back. They said they have a way to refund some but not all of it. Terrible customer service.
