    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.

    Horrible company, they rip you off, and are unsympathetic. I signed up for the 12-month membership and then had medical issues later on, so I tried to cancel. They allowed me to freeze/pause my membership, but extended my initial term ensuring I paid the full 12 months. Meanwhile, I was only able to use 1 session.

    I've had terrible experience with this company. The promise of a subscription service did not nearly meet expectations. I've tried to contact someone several times and they will not give a name or number for contact. You have to e-mail a generic account to try and get someone. They will not give me information to try and transfer my account, as I have moved to a city out of their service area. Terrible customer service, terrible follow through, over rated promises.

    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. These people literally lie. Don't ever buy a package from them. You're trapped at $80/month for 12 months.

    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.

    So I canceled my membership and had 2 appointments still booked for this month. Now they say bc I didn't cancel in a timely fashion before the next monthly payment that my account is suspended and cannot go to another appointment before paying another month of membership. First off this company is overrated and expensive. Secondly, the customer service is very unprofessional. They refused to assist me without another monthly payment. Customer service has fallen through the cracks and just anybody with no respect is allowed to work there. Crazy wow.

    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.

    I bought a gift card online for my mother's birthday. When she tried to redeem the card for a well-deserved massage, they refused to schedule it because she did not have a credit card. When my mom told me that she never used the card that I gave her last year, I got pissed off! The service is prepaid by way of gift card. Nowhere does it mention that a credit card is required. My mother was humiliated twice by the people. I highly recommend nobody give a gift card for this horrible business. Oh, I requested a refund a day after I bought the card when my mother told me what happened. They invented a fake excuse to deny a refund. I will post this true story all over the internet. You humiliated and cheated the wrong guy, and his mother. Happy holidays! I hope you go out of business.

    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!

I could never get into the schedule, and when I did, my appointments were often canceled. I told them they no longer had permission to charge my card, and they went ahead and did it anyway.

    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. And anyone going to this location, understand customers don't come first, and they have zero compassion for a sick member.

    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.

    I joined membership 20 yrs ago. Was great for 10 years and the last 10 years they have quickly gone downhill and I just quit (long overdue). A 60 min massage is actually only 40 min. Unable to book a massage when needed, seems they are unable to maintain quality employees. 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.

    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.

    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

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.

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.

    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!

In November 2022 two different locations and two different employees told us we had 19 hours each but it looked like our membership was canceled because this time was just sitting out there.

    I called and their HR contacted me asking for the employee names and I did not give them this information so they could retaliate with the employee. Still they could not send me records going back further than 2019 and we canceled our membership.

    I received a gift card for Christmas last year (2022) for a free one-hour massage at Massage Envy (Mt. Lebanon) with a dollar value of $65. They were running an intro special at that time for that price. I called right after Christmas to make an appointment and found that the earliest weekend appointment was in March and if I could do it during the week (day or evening) – they had a few openings starting in Feb. Because of my job – I cannot plan that far in advance but was told to wait until after the Christmas rush was over – they would have more openings. That was not the case.

    I tried a few times to make an appointment when I had a few specific days off during the summer but was unable to find a date. I was finally able to make an appointment in advance for 11/23/22 (the day before Thanksgiving) because I knew I was off. I made this appointment the first week in October but was told that the $65 was no longer valid for an hour massage – that I need to pay $120. I agreed but after more discussions – they agreed to an additional $10 plus tip. I was called on 11/22 (the day before my appt.) and told that I had to give a credit card to keep my appointment. If I failed to show up – or give 24 hours’ notice – they will charge you the full amount. This was less than 24 hours but it didn’t matter because I was not going to miss it.

    On 11/23/22 – the day of my appointment – they called and cancelled on me. Given my schedule and their availability – we couldn’t find another appointment that would work at that time so I asked to speak with the manager – Charlotte – to ask for a refund – but only to find out again that they are unable to refund gift cards. I found this hard to believe because they were about to charge me $120 if I didn’t show up or cancelled. Charlotte informed me that she’d speak with the regional manager Michelle to see about a refund. It was the holidays – so she said it wouldn’t be until the following week. I never received a call.

    I then called and spoke with many folks over the next few weeks until I finally received a call back regarding the refund. Again – I was told there were no refunds for gift cards, but they offered me a 90 minute massage for the same $75 (Gift card + $10 cash) if I could come in the week before Christmas. I agreed and made arrangements to be there on Thursday 12/22. I was called on Wednesday that they needed to cancel that appointment again after they had called to tell me I’d owe $120 if I cancelled.

    I asked again for a refund but was told that I needed to speak with Charlotte or Michelle. I have called a couple of times and was told that I'd hear back from Charlotte or Michelle but again – no one called. In fact – I have never received or spoken with Michelle ever. I was just called today – 1/9/23 and told that even with all that happened – they are unable to give me a refund. How can a company sell gift cards for massage that aren’t available. They have so few appointments available that unless your retired, don’t work or have an extremely flexible schedule – are useless.

    I went in with the intention of using a couple gift cards I had/get a feel for the facility. Therapist was great, no complaints there. I declared when I made the appointment that my wife and I were intending to use gift cards. After our appointment, I was told by those working the desk the card was expired/it had to be used at the location it was issued. 1) There are ZERO expiration dates on the card. 2) How would I know where the card was issued? There is no specific location on it. 3) Would have been great to get into all this BEFORE the service was rendered since I declared I wanted to use the cards to begin with. All the manager offered was a 'sorry about that, if you want I can send a note to the company' which does very little about the $140 I didn't intend on spending. There's more:

    - My wife's therapist asked her if she wanted aromatherapy and failed to inform her that was an extra $10 (pretty sure the whole bottle is less than that).

    - When I asked to remove my account w/ my credit card from their database all I got was 'you'll have to contact customer service... we can't do that here.' PS, there isn't a customer service line for Massage Envy. Shocker, they don't really want to talk to anyone.

    Advice: Find someone who does this privately. The communication will be a whole lot better and you'll likely get a more customized experience anyhow (perhaps in your own home!) See the attached photos of the gift cards that have no location or expiration date on them. Bad communication from the company, little to no action of remedy.

    Prior owners were great and this was THE place to go. I absolutely love my massage therapist and have been seeing her for around FOUR years. I've maintained my memberships even with the frustration of seeing new member perks but nothing for loyal clients. The new owners have completely destroyed the prior business model and it's no longer worth my time if there is no loyalty to long standing clients. I've always been prebooked out for a year to maintain my time slot twice a month for 2 hrs each. I have a muscular condition and without it, my body will pay and lock up. So imagine my surprise when my day came only to be told I'm not booked. I'm not booked??!! When did this happen?

    Apparently they changed their booking policy and failed to inform me and failed to reach out to their loyal customers to retain their normal time slots. My therapist is highly sought and books up fast. I'm left with a two month gap before I can get back in at reduced time slot which will put my body into a flare up. Taylor had no sympathy or care and was rather rude about it. Not only do you have to pay extra to add an essential oil that is literally a few drops to their lotion which you are not allowed to reuse if it's not used during your visit but based on their advertising you think you're buying the bottle, not a few drops and this charge is on top of what you're already paying for, something other massage places incorporate into their services.

    On top of that the price nearly doubled and they will not grandfather in prior agreed contracts so all contracts were ended and prices increased. This is just unethical to me and no way to treat loyal long standing customers. I am now seeking a new place for my business. I will see my favorite therapist when able, but will no longer spend the thousands of dollars at a business that cares for profits over people. Look elsewhere where you can get the same pricing, better service from the business, and included perks that Massage Envy only gives to new customers.

Kept calling to use a gift certificate from my kids, they had paid $150, and Massage Envy promotion added a $40 voucher, so I thought for $190 I'd get at least 3 massages. Instead, I got one.

    When I tried to schedule, they never had times I could go, and I was not being picky, just wanted evenings or weekend. You can't schedule more than 90 days out by phone, either. Finally got an appointment, but the $40 voucher expired after 90 days. Massage Envy would not honor it. Also found out a 50 minute massage is $120! So without the voucher, I only had enough for one massage - I just gave the extra $30 to the therapist as a tip because I was not interested in spending any more money with this sleezy company. Their program is NOT a good value - $70 per month for a 50 minute service, and you have to commit for an entire year. I know from reading other reviews that they will take clients to court if they try to stop the contract because they can never get an appointment. What a terrible business philosophy.

She said she could not do that, she would be happy to help me book additional massages in a month to use the credit. I again said I do not want to book 2 appointments for the same month, I book 1 massage per month and if they cannot provide it I should receive a credit on my payment.

I have been paying around $70 dollars a month. Today I moved several meetings to be able to make it to a 1:00pm last minute available appointment, however when I got there, the masseur was not the lady that usually works with me, it was a male masseur. When I told them I was not comfortable with a male masseur one of the receptionists rolled her eyes and the other one started laughing, making me feel very uncomfortable. I have rarely seen worse front desk staff, with a total lack of empathy and customer service aptitude.

    I think this place is a scam. They keep selling these memberships in which you can easily sign in at their office just touching the iPad screen, however they know they cannot fulfill the service because they do not have staff, and yet they keep selling it. Furthermore, when you want to cancel the service, it is a nightmare. I sent an email requesting cancelation they told me I need to send a completed and signed form to their email address. You cannot cancel the service in person. The cancelation takes 10 days to happen and then you have 60 days to use your credits, however knowing that they do not have staff, you know you will lose your money.

I told her I didn't feel comfortable with that and that I mentioned to her the first round, that I had a gift certificate, so why didn't she tell me about the need for a credit card. She proceeded to apologize, said it was Massage Envy's policy to get a credit card. That she would have a manager call me in 48 hours (to date, no manager has called, and I left a message today prior to writing this up).

If I can't find a way to use up the banked services I will just cancel and lose them. Services are cheaper if you are a member but only if you don't work or want a lot of facials. Staff has always been friendly and tried to be helpful but I hope franchise owners are looking into a way to reward members. Customer services ratings should terrify them.

    My wife and I have been members at Massage Envy for over a decade. This operation was, at one time, professional, helpful and provided a good service. This is no longer the case. Since reopening after COVID it has been a huge challenge to schedule a massage due to lack of therapists. Also, when we were able to schedule a massage on the mobile app the scheduled therapist on several occasions did not keep the appointment. To add insult to injury, there were times where multiple cancelations happened and my wife and I were not provided notice of the cancellation prior to the appointment time. Only after we showed up at the location were we told the massage was cancelled. This was a huge error by the scheduling staff and a colossal waste of our time.

    After several of these scheduling mishaps we decided to cancel our memberships. We called the Parker, Colorado location to cancel our memberships but Massage Envy continued to auto debit our account. After leaving several messages on the company voicemail, because the staff was not answering the phone during normal business hours, we were forced to physically visit the location to request Massage Envy to stop debiting via autopay. We had accumulated over $2,000 in unused massages.

    After speaking with Shara, the manager, we were told they would not refund any charges that were auto debited after we cancelled the membership. Shara claimed she did not cancel the memberships at the time of our request because she was sick with COVID for 2 weeks. Shara said she would send a written cancellation form via email but she didn't do that either. Shara was RUDE on the telephone and was absolutely unwilling to help a client who was a Massage Envy member for over a decade. A client who had accrued $2,000 in unused massages that were not refundable according to company policy. A client Massage Envy continued to auto debit after the cancellation was made. In the end, our only option was to call our bank and put a stop payment on any future charges from Massage Envy.

    This company is unethical and predatory. The management is in dire need of fundamental training in customer service. Massage Envy has already been involved in one class action lawsuit due to their poor business practices, but they continue operating with the same practices to this day. I highly recommend to anyone who is contemplating a membership with this company to look elsewhere. We will never use this company again and will recommend our friends and family do the same.

    I am writing this review because of the poor service from this location. This location is the blueprint of failed leadership, management, and supervision!!! The Massage Envy Franchise should be ashamed to allow this location to continue to neglect their clients. Do not visit this location for services!!! The staff is poorly trained, personnel turnover is the highest I've ever seen, phone calls are never returned (If they answer), there is no sense of care or professionalism to address your needs, and a manager is never available!!! Absolutely Unprofessional!!! There are other reviews that address the same concerns. It is obvious they don't care about their reputation. This review will not address my needs or improve the culture at this location. I want to share my experience and to warn you before doing business at this location. Hopefully, someone will care enough to embrace the staff with true professional guidance, mentoring, and leadership. George Jr.

    This is a rating for the Massage Envy in Casa Linda shopping center in Dallas, Texas. I had a difficult time cancelling my membership at this location. I became unhappy after over 10 years of going there when I was turned away one day (although I had 6 months of credits saved up!) because it was the day before payday and my monthly payment had not gone through. I was treated as if I was trying to steal from the company, not like a faithful 10-year customer who was one day out from payday and having a cash flow problem.

    After the rudeness, I decided to cancel altogether. I had received a letter about a price increase that said anyone who wanted to cancel their membership should send an email to a certain email address, which I did. I was charged again that month and when I called the manager to protest, she very coldly informed me that my email meant nothing because I had not filled out the proper form. (Keep in mind I did not get a response to the email at all--much less telling me that.) No apologies, no kindness: she did a fake "Have a nice day" in a snotty voice. So I paid that month reluctantly (what choice did I have?).

    I now have 7 credits. I filled out the cancellation form, and emailed it. Once again there was no response so I called the manager, who this time admitted she received the form but refused to confirm this in writing; she would not even respond to the email to say she received it (leaving me vulnerable to being charged again this month). I asked her name which she told me was "Kristen," but she snippily informed me she did not have to tell me her last name. I asked for the owner's name but she also informed me she didn't "have to" give out that information. I don't think I have ever received such poor customer service and nastiness from a store manager.

    I know their business has really suffered during Covid and you would think a customer who stayed through that time with automatic payments coming out every month would be treated a little better (not to mention I had been a customer for over 10 years). BTW, I loved my massage therapist there. But management is unbelievably rude and even mean. I will drive to another Massage Envy further away to fulfill my remaining credits and will never enter into a contract with them again after these experiences.

    Save your money. You must pay a monthly fee to join, but I was unable to get any massage appointments for 3 months across 3 locations within 7 miles! And if you want firm or deep tissue massage, several places don't even have them anymore, which of course is not made known. So you accumulate credits that you can't use, and if you quit (stop sending more money after bad), you have 60 days to use up credit or forfeit! But you guessed it, you can't get an appointment. This setup is AWFUL for the customer!

    I was a member for over 12 years. Last year I became ill and could not go for massages, I still paid, every month 59 dollars was taken out of my bank account. I had over 12 sessions unused. I gave my son a session as a gift in September. In October the rate increased, no one told me, I asked for a cancellation. I was offered a $10 a month instead to which I said, "No thank you, I want to cancel."

    My son goes to get his massage and they denied it because my account was suspended for non payment, mind you, they have over 12 months of my money, over $600 that they took and now they cover their butts saying it's their rules. I lost all that money and the gift I gave my son, well before I cancelled. I spoke with a girl who was extremely rude, talked over me and hung up on me. I called back and spoke with the manager who basically said that's life, not his exact words but it summed it up as he said there was nothing I could do about it.

I book a massage appointment on 3/1/2022, after my massage, I decided to go ahead to cancel my membership due to the increase in price and the lack of use of this membership. I was at the Allen Tx location, I asked to cancel my membership. I was told that they didn't have any cancellation forms, and their printer wasn't working. They said they would need to email me the cancelation form and I could email the form back to them. I asked them to email it at that time and I would fill it out on my phone. I was told I didn't need to sign it, that I could type that in. I did as I was told, waited at the store to make sure the email was received, and left afterward. I live about 15 minutes away from the location, once home I received an email from the location.

    Stating: we noticed you failed to complete the cancelation forms, please make sure you sign where it asks and if you have any questions about credits or dates please contact us. We are only allowed to start your cancellation process with your forms being completed, thank you! (note: that I type this exactly as I received in the email).

    I have been a member & patronizing Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ for a year and a half. My kids have given me several 300 gift cards. It got frustrating with the financials Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ. They would still charge my card while I had gift money on my account to use. NOT what I was TOLD, BUT Apparently, the gift money cannot be used toward a membership, although not what I was told when I inquired about gift cards & again when submitting them. I HAD to use that for additional services. Plus, calculations were never correct. Lastly but most importantly, NOT ONE massage was worth its weight in charges. I tried different people to no avail.

    Last week I went into Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ & cancelled my membership. 2 ladies, (one at desk; one on phone) looked at my account, reaching the conclusion I had one service left on my contract, BUT I had to use it by this week, AND the only thing they had available was a facial for 2/22 at 8AM. I booked it. 2/21 I received a phone call from a young lady @ Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ confirming the appointment for 8AM today 2/22. Professionally, if there were issues, I should have been told at that time of call. I was not.

    2/22, 8AM I show up for appointment @ Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ, the desk clerk gives me a pad form to complete & off I go for my facial. NEVER a word mentioned of an issue. Facial was good, young lady was good. I proceed to leave a tip for the service provider using 20 on a gift card. The desk clerk informs me I owe 65.00 for today’s facial, “how would you like to pay?” I explained, that is incorrect and gave her the scenario. She was intent on computer screen when the manager came out from the back; Manager, informs me they calculated incorrectly, and I owe for today — “how would you like to pay?”

    I responded that “Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ’s error is owned by them. I was told and booked this appointment using up my cancelled membership, and I came for the service today simply to use up that membership, w/ no intention then or now, paying for something I was told I had a credit to use." Manager tells me, “Well, we have your card on file so we will just charge that.” I told her they haven’t the right to charge that without my permission, and I will dispute the charge with my bank.” I walked out.

    I live five minutes from Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ; once home I checked my bank account; sure-enough they submitted the charge to my card. A complete violation, charging my card “OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF CONTRACT”. The mgr took the liberty of charging my card, without my permission, with a card that was on file for my membership, which was cancelled. IMPORTANT TO TAKE NOTE OF:

    1) If “they” @ Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ made an error in “their” calculations, “they” had the responsibility to reach out to me. You don’t let the customer receive the service w/the understanding it is already paid for; then after the service inform the customer @ Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ they owe for it. I should have been given that choice to proceed and pay or walk away, PRIOR to the service.

    2) ALWAYS, inform a customer a mistake has been made in charges, prior to the service they were previously given the information it was already paid for; NOT after, nor with the attempt to charge the customer regardless of their approval status. Especially in the event the customer was receiving the service under the agreement it was part of their membership that needed to be used up.

    3) As a business owner or representative, charging a card outside the scope of the contract, is not only bad business practice but may be illegal. Always inform & receive approval for any charges that fall outside that scope. As in Massage Envy @ 6626 E McKellips, Mesa, AZ charging my card AFTER contract cancellation; after I told them they did not have my permission to charge the card.

    I called to reschedule my appointment because I woke up with a headache, fever, and a cough. When I called to RESCHEDULE Deanna quickly told me that it would be a cancellation charge in the amount of half the service. I explained how I was feeling her only response was that it was policy, so I asked if they would prefer me come in sick and she only stated that it was company policy to charge a fee. I had a gift card, I told her to gift the entire amount to my massage therapist since that what their main concern was, that the therapist gets his pay.

    My main point is that Massage Envy does not currently offer a exception to policy due to COVID. They could allow/offer a one time reschedule, then maybe a fee after the one-time. What if my therapist called in sick and had to cancel on me (I do not switch therapist)? Would I have been offered an inconvenience fee? I was not trying to cancel, I wanted and needed a massage, I only wanted to reschedule. Due to their inflexibility in policy Massage Envy lost a customer today.

    Let's begin. I don't write reviews but after dealing with this company’s poor ethics and terrible customer service I felt inclined. I'll start with, it takes a couple months to even get on the books.. therefore I asked to cancel my membership and was told I needed to use all my accrued hours before my cancellation or that it would just be money lost. So I scheduled, with a Massage Envy Meridian receptionist, months in advance my remaining packages..

    Well it comes to the final month of my membership and due to them losing their facial employee, I'm out that one appointment. I was told on the 15th of November after my massage by the Meridian ME receptionist that I had 2.5 remaining hours to use before my cancellation. They didn't have any availability for massages the remainder of the month and even the next month. Therefore, after calling again and being assured I had 2.5 hours, I gifted an hour to my Mom. I then went to my final massage scheduled months in advance and upon completion was told I needed to pay for it because I had no more packages.

    I stated to the receptionist that they had informed me multiple times I had 2.5 hours remaining and that's the whole reason why I gifted an hour. She said that I was free to go home so I tipped my therapist and left. I was told if there were any issues the manager would call the following day. She never called. Then two days later my bank account is charged. Never did I hear from the manager even after calling about the wrongful charge. Terrible ethics, terrible customer service.

    Massage Envy is fueled by greed, their "membership" is a scam, a completely unfair trap designed to keep you locked in forever. BUYER BEWARE. My wife started her membership a few years ago and was INJURED BY THE THERAPIST during a pregnancy massage at the La Quinta, CA store, so she simply stopped going. Unfortunately my wife did not cancel her membership then and there because she simply didn't think about it. Honest mistake for a sleepy, injured, 6 months along pregnant lady right? Keep reading....

    7 months goes by and I noticed the $70/monthly charges were still being pulled from my wife's credit card. I called in and was told there were no refunds period and I could only place a hold on the account instead, dropping my monthly charge to $10/monthly until we use our hours. I was still unsatisfied because my wife DID NOT want to return because she was INJURED there. I spoke with a manager named Julie, and she told me she could assist me by transferring the points to me to use instead, so I can use them but only 2 hours a month, and I had to call each month to manually transfer the next 2 hour increment... So, I agreed because I have no other choice other than lose my money.

    Problem is, I soon tried to call in and make an appointment, several times in fact and guess what, they constantly had a 2 to 3 week appointment lead time... and then soon after that the COVID pandemic began and stores were closed and appointments were even further out. But still no leniency on cancellation or refunds from Massage Envy. Only greed.

    Anyways, I thought I was good to pay this 10/monthly until I can someday use them or something, and AFTER THE PANDEMIC, but nope. They cheated me again and reinstated the full 70/monthly a few months later without my knowing. So the account freeze was lifted and they have been charging me $70/monthly for over a year without my realizing, because I was busying trying to survive during a PANDEMIC.

    Now I have 18 unused hours total that are again non refundable. I called in to try and reason with management and I was given nothing but a brick wall of NO from a bunch of young ladies claiming to be assistant managers, no "let me look into this further", no decent customer service, just "no", no refunds. Nothing. AND one of them started laughing when I started to get upset even... it was so wrong. You could tell she took pleasure in telling me no... Now, I have no option but to try and sue via the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside. Hopefully the great state of California will help me.

    Have been a member of Massage Envy since 2015. Unable to book a session with a vaccinated therapist. This is frustrating and disturbing for them to not identify vaccinated employees. This is a hands on business who is not taking into consideration the health and well being of its clients. It has been almost 2 years since I've been able to use my membership, paying $70 per month for unused services is a waste of my money! Let's hope the Corporate Headquarters is listening and change their policy.

    Been going there on and off for years. Just signed up for 6 month contract paid in full. So far so good on the appointment scheduling and getting in. I think because I paid in full with my FSA vs. the monthly, that makes a difference. I'll see in 6 months if I'm not permitted to cancel my contract. I'll be sure to put in writing well in advance of maturity date even though I paid in full upfront to avoid auto renewal.

    I've been a member for 1.5 years and in those 1.5 years it's been so hard to schedule a massage. There's just no available appts. They take your money, but can't deliver on services. My HSA was linked for auto pay. My account number changed. Massage Envy was very quick to call me out on it and suspend my account threatening to cancel any future appts if I didn't provide payment within 24 hours. I was on vacation. What did I learn? Massage Envy only cares about new business, roping in new people for their wellness plan. They don't care about their wellness members they already roped in. They don't care that you can't use your wellness benefits because they don't have the staff to provide them. They are super quick to drop you if miss a payment because your auto pay card number changed.

    This is the worst company ever with the worst customer service. I called a week before and made arrangements to pay with my membership and my cc on file for a 1hr session for my sister and a 1hr session for her friend. They confirmed everything was taken care of. When my sister and her friend were done with their massage session they both got charged for it. I had to take time out of my busy day to go personally and take care of the reimbursement and correct charges into my account. Now I am trying to cancel my membership and they give me the excuse that I have to finish paying an entire year to cancel the membership. I'm gonna end up canceling my cc so they won’t take any more money. If you do use this company, DON’T EVER sign up for their monthly program. Complete rip off.

    Can't cancel once you buy: if you accrued massage credits, you will lose them all unless used within 45 days. If you did accrue, esp through covid, how the hell are you going to use it? You have to pay $20/mo to freeze your account so that it stops accruing. WHAT?!??

    Summer, 2020: I left a phone message asking my account be temporarily suspended due to Covid. They continued to charge my card monthly. I spoke to a manager. I was told massage credits accrue so I can use them when I was comfortable returning. I was okay with that. I stopped paying the monthly fee because I wanted to use up my many credits before starting payments again. 6/19 (1:14pm): Ready to use my credits. But, in a phone call, I was told two things:

    1) My account is frozen.
    2) I have to pay to reinstate my account and use my accrued credits.

    2) I have to pay $10 to use each of those credits - credits I've already paid for.

    I was never told about any additional charges. When I asked why the extra charge, I received two responses:

    1) "the cost of staffing"

    2) "I'm not really sure."

    I requested a manager call me. I was told that would happen today, 6/21. 6/21: No call received (yet). I called, no answer. I left a message reminding them of the expected call from a manager. I received no call back.

    My mother has paid a lot of money for massage points including for her children and we all feel that this whole business is a scam. She has been told by different employees that she must keep paying to use her already paid for points. There is a "freeze" option but Massage Envy is telling her she can't use the points during the freeze but that she will still be charged $10 for "Maintenance" and it's only for a 6 month period after which they keep charging full price. How could anyone, in good conscience treat a long time paying member by essentially scamming them and stealing their money? They never explained to her that this was how they handle the accounts. This situation needs to be addressed and corrected immediately if this is a respectable business at all as every location claims it to be. However, it is impossible to get any help so I recommend not even starting a membership with this entity.

    Firstly I was surprised with a first visit to Massage Envy for a Valentine’s Day gift. To say the least I was very disappointed and I will never go back there. I was running a few minutes behind so I called the front desk and every single time I called the receptionist answered by saying, "Massage Envy. Please hold" and had me on hold for minutes. Hung up. Call back again and she did the same thing all over again. I got tired of waiting because by then I had arrived. So I let her know that I was checking in. They had me to do paperwork. She didn’t make me aware that my hour message would be over at 12:20 pm and proceeded to check me in.

    So I finally get to the back and the masseuse tells me, "Your appointment will be over in 25 mins" and I said to him, "I would like the full hour so if I need to reschedule I will." I told him that I had called several times and each time I was on hold because I wanted to call to make sure there would be no issue but I couldn’t get help from the receptionist if I paid her. He walked me to the front and told her she only has 25 mins left on her session he and to reschedule. I explain to him that I called prior to for this reason because I don’t know the policy. Not to mention there’s a sign on the front door that says to call to check in and someone will let you know when to enter the building. Obviously not true when the receptionist just continues to put you on hold.

    I called over and over to make sure that there was not going to be any issues but I could not get a response from the receptionist because she continued to put me on hold. I explained the very same thing to the receptionist and she doesn’t apologize or displays any empathy but said, "I’m gonna have to charge you 50% for the appointment." I said to her, "I called you several times to make sure that there was not going to be any issues. You kept answering the phone and you kept putting me on hold for minutes and now you wanna charge me for something that could’ve been avoided and not to mention I’ve driven all the way here when this could’ve been avoided before I even got here." There was no apology. There was nothing and charge me half price for a massage I did not get.

    So I will never ever ever do business with massage envy again. The receptionist lacks customer service and any type of empathy. Not to mention she had me waiting another 10 minutes to charge my card. No sorry for the wait. No "I apologize for not getting back to you when you called." I mean nothing. Ironically enough while I’m still waiting she was able to answer the phone then and assist right away but I got no assistance. It was just a horrible experience. Customer service does not exist here.

    I have accrued 10 massage credits because with so many COVID restrictions I haven’t been able to use the service. I decided to cancel and was told I have 60 days to use the 10 credits. They have reduced hours, will only book out a short distance and will not book 90 min appointments. This seemed unreasonable so I asked for more time to use the credits and was told no. I made an appointment to at least use 1 credit and told them I would be looking into the legality of them keeping the funds for all of the credits I am unable to use. They then told me unless I promise not to pursue this they are canceling my appointment and I am no longer allowed access even for the 60 days to use any credits.

    I called the Brookfield, CT location to purchase a gift card for my daughter-in-law and asked them to hold on to it for my son to pick up. I made an embarrassing mistake. I called the wrong place. I meant to call another local spa that my daughter-in-law goes to. When I realized my mistake I called right away, hoping for understanding and a refund. I had to call three times before getting an answer – which was... no refunds, even though they still had possession of the card. They said it was a national policy and I could call the national office, which I did.

    Over a period of 4 business days, I left 5 messages with customer service and one with the CEO before finally receiving a call back from... IT. (You have to wonder about a company that uses IT personnel to appease customers.) Their answer was no refund but I could possibly work something out with the CT location. I called the Brookfield location again and asked for a manager to call me...it never happened. I called again two days later and asked for a manager. After being placed on hold an employee told me no refund, but again, no manager talked to me.

    I made a stupid mistake that I admitted, and was hoping for some understanding during unusual times, however, what angered me is the total lack of response! Not one conversation with the local manager and 6 calls to the corporate customer service office before even a response? That silence speaks volumes about how they really feel about customers.

    Over the past 3-4 years, I have been a loyal Massage Envy customer. We have primarily used Nashua but also frequented Methuen. I have 3 memberships that are billed monthly. At the start of covid, the billing stopped. Once the massage parlors were allowed to open again, billing continued. One day, I called to schedule an appointment for my son who is a paying member. He was not quite 15 yet so they denied him an appointment. Why does he have to pay if he can’t go?

    After not wanting to go for a few months due to safety concerns and length of possible exposure in a small room, I decided I no longer wanted to get massages. I called to cancel my memberships for the time being. We had over 8 credits paid for each by the time I cancelled. At $55 per credit, this is over $1300. They allow you only 2 months to use up your credits and then you lose the rest. I called the manager to see if there was anything I could do. I wanted to use them but how can I use 8 credits in 2 months? I will be there weekly which is ridiculous. They refused to help and basically told me TOO BAD!

    My husband and I decided to treat ourselves with getting a membership subscription. A couple months after, Covid started and everything was in lockdown but monthly membership fees were still being charged and accumulated. When Massage Envy opened back up we asked if we could please freeze our subscription to be able to catch up with the amount of massages we hadn't been able to use due to the Covid lockdown. They said that even if we would freeze it we still would have to pay $40 and wouldn't be able to use the accumulated once in the meantime.

    We then asked what would happen if we would cancel the subscription. Massage Envy said in that case we only would have six weeks to use the accumulated massages or we would lose them all. For such a big company we were not impressed with their rules. We contacted Massage Envy corporate customer service over a month ago and left a voicemail. Haven't heard back. Are they there for their clients? Don't think so. Very disappointing and we are about ready to completely cancel both our subscriptions.

Now with their new policy, the client and massage therapist must wear a mask during the massage. I respect their decision for this new rule. But not everyone wants to wear a mask during a massage and that's my right. I'm not trying to put anyone at risk by not wearing one, I simply asked to be released from my contract due to this unforeseen new policy, that I am not comfortable with or want to move forward with in my membership. M.E. will only let you freeze your membership which prolongs your yearly membership, after your 6 month hold. They won't take Covid and their new policy into consideration for cxl'ing. I think this is poor customer service. I wouldn't be wanting to cxl if their policies remained the same as when I signed my contract. So for this reason, I personally don't recommend Massage Envy.

    I live in Bend Oregon where Massage Envy Permanently Shut its doors without Notice in early March. There are NO other ME's in Oregon that I know of. Prior to this It was impossible to get an appt with them for various reasons. It was frustrating at best. I have been charged monthly for over 2 years and due to sudden serious ill health, early in the relationship, I have found this a hardship. I explained to them that I had been struck with Kidney cancer and was unable to use what I was accumulating in massages.. I repeatedly requested that the 24 massages (now) I'd accumulated be allowed to be gifted to my adult children. I was told yes, then later denied. Then there were stipulations applied and then later again denied. They now feel that I should pay an additional $10 fee per accumulated massages to transfer them. They have bounced so often I am confused. I can barely afford food now let alone additional fees.

    When I originally joined in the NC office, I was given erroneous information. I was assured all my info and fees would be in Bend Oregon. I was then given the wrong info here at the Bend office as well on this and other matters. I am a Senior Citizen on SSI Disability and my budget is very small. I need Corporate to investigate these matters, but they have not responded to my emails. After the Bend Oregon office closed, I was not billed, and I thought it was because Massage Envy was debating my situation. Now I realize as they have started billing again this month, that the lag must have been due to the Covid virus.

Also, the person who has an opening does not do the massage type I need but they were "good" so they should be able to accommodate me.

    I live in Massachusetts but am spending 8 weeks in Florida taking a class at a training facility. My friend from Massachusetts purchased me a Massage Envy gift card as a going away present to use while I’m here in Palm Coast, Florida. When she purchased the gift card, they had her set up an account for me (not a membership) with my name and phone number. The amount on the gift card was for the price of one couple's massage for my husband and I plus gratuity. I made my appointment, we had a nice massage, and at check out I was told the gift card balance was only 17 dollars. What? I was confused. They then told me they could see on their system that I had used part of it in California and part of it in Wisconsin. I said I haven’t been to either of those places, and I had never even heard of or stepped foot in a Massage Envy until today. They said “I’m sure there’s a mix up, don’t worry, we’ll figure this out and give you a call.”

    Well, my credit card (that they had taken to have on file when I made the appointment in case of cancellation) was charged $103 dollars, and they did call me. I asked what was going on. They said “think of this from our perspective- you purchased the gift card in Massachusetts, you used it in California, you used it in Wisconsin and now you’re in Florida- it seems you’ve been traveling, what else are we supposed to think?” I said, “No, I have not been traveling. could it be possible that someone with a similar name as me went into the Massage Envy in those other states, said their name, and the employee mistakenly pulled up my account instead of theirs, told the customer they had gift credit, and applied my gift card to their services?” They admitted that was probably what happened, but said I should call my friend who purchased the gift card to find out what had happened.

    How would she know what happened?! Plus, why should I have to embarrass my friend because of your mistake?? Then I was told my only other option was to call corporate. I left a message there but I’m not hopeful I’ll hear back or get a refund. I opened a dispute with my credit card company to retrieve the funds, and canceled the card Massage Envy had on file so they won’t charge someone else’s services to my account, if that’s even what really happened. I’m thinking it might just be a total scam to get paid double, because it’s strange they would require the gift card purchaser to have to set up an account for the recipient. That enabled them to claim someone had used my account before I was able to use the gift card. Terrible. No accountability or apology, and so irresponsible. I asked why they don’t verify who people are before pulling up their account, they said “we have no way to do that” haha.

    I started getting massages over a year ago. I signed up with a monthly billable “you can cancel anytime” membership. When I realized the massage was aggravating my hip, and it was taking over a month in advance to schedule, I cancelled. They continued to charge my credit card every month. I finally disputed the charges with my bank and was promised it would not happen again! It did!

    I disputed the charges 3 times AND cancelled my card. However, they were able to get my new card number from MC as a recurring charge. Maddening!! I called ME again and they stated I had an annual membership now (not sure how that happened all of a sudden). Now they call me every month and are rude and threatening. The most recent call, the woman said “well, we’ll just keep calling you until you update your credit card.” How can any company do business like this It’s ridiculous! DO NOT sign up, you’ll never be able to cancel...Ever! If you see a Massage Envy sign, my advice is simply “RUN.”

    I have recently ended my membership of about 5 years with Massage Envy. I stayed because I liked the massage therapist. The management has not been good at the LODO downtown location for years and this includes the current manager who is new. I had 5-6 appointments canceled over the last few years there. 2 of these in the last several months. Several appointments were canceled without any notice to me. I would call to confirm and someone had canceled the appointment. The management did not make it right with me. I did like the location that I signed up with off of Arapahoe and Parker road but did not find a therapist I really liked there. I have written emails to Massage Envy corporate with NO response about all of the canceled appointments.

    My daughter babysat and saved up in order to purchase a gift certificate for me. It was my birthday and she paid $100 online for a 90 minutes massage, gratuity included. The website STILL offers this in the exact same words. When I called to book my 90 minute massage within 3 weeks of receiving the gift, I was told that the pricing at my Massage Envy location "just went up" so that the $100 would only buy me a 60 minute massage OR (of course) I was "welcome" to ADD TO the cost and purchase myself the 90 minutes.

    HORRIBLE and I felt terrible for my daughter, who really wanted to give me 90 minutes. Of course there is no one available via the website on weekends to contact about this, even though the company is open 7 days a week. Not even a "chat" available. Will just put a dispute in through my daughter bank, since she purchased the gift via her debit card. I'm so disgusted and will never walk back in a M.E. Envy again.

    I saw prices go up at Massage Envy from $60 to $90 for a 60 minute massage. To try and get a massage for less, I purchased a 6 month membership paying in advance so I could get 6 massages for $60 each. I usually give massage gift cards and thought this would be a good way to save money as I was told I could transfer one massage per month to someone else. I was told I would not lose the massages if I did not use them, they would carry over to the next month and I would have a certain amount of time after the 6 months to use up any unused massages. I ended up getting busy with other unexpected events during this time and was nearing the end of the 6 months with all 6 massages to use, but I wanted to transfer 4 of them so I was not too concerned.

    Little did I know how much hassle I was up against to get the massages used!!! Every time I tried to transfer a massage, there was some kind of issue. It is a process to even get the massage to transfer and even at the end of the contract they will still only let you transfer to someone else once per month, so I could not transfer to family members I had promised to and ended up needing to pay for one of their massages separately even though I had a bunch to use up. Also, if the massage for someone you transfer a massage to is not done at the same location you purchased the membership from, they will charge a $10 fee.

    When I had 2 days left to use up the last 2 massages and wanted to transfer one to my mom (I had to wait until the last minute so another month had passed so I could transfer the massage to her), I called the location I purchased the membership from to do the transfer to my mom. When the Massage Envy employee realized I had 2 days left to transfer the massage, she said she probably wouldn’t be able to transfer it because usually 3 days notice is needed to transfer a massage?!

    This is ridiculous - why would it be so difficult to transfer a massage? She said she does not have the authority and since it was the weekend she didn’t know if management would be there to make the transfer. Then when I questioned this, she said she would make a note that I wanted the transfer done. I said I needed to know if it could be done so my mom could schedule it and somehow then she said she was able to get it done and said we were set. However about 5 minutes later she called back and said she could not do the transfer because I didn’t have a credit card on file. First of all, she had already said it was done. Second of all, I had prepaid so why would they need my credit card on file, and just to do the transfer which should be free?

    Lastly, I had not specified where we were scheduling the massage so if it was at the location I purchased the membership from, there should not be a $10 fee. It was also odd she didn’t just ask for my card, instead she just said she wouldn’t be able to do it. After I brought up these points I asked her, "So you would be able to make the transfer with a credit card number?" She said yes and then I proceeded to give her the number and she asked “Do you know the zip code”? (Hello yes, I know my zip code). I was so frustrated by then and gave her the information - she said the only way she could do the transfer with her limited access to the system was for me to be charged.

    I specified this charge would only be the $10 and only if we went to a different location and then she said there were no openings at their location except for a 90 minute opening, which would not work for a 60 minute massage because they would miss out on getting paid for the extra half hour. Wouldn’t you think they would just be happy to have a 60 minute massage instead of nothing if nobody scheduled during that time? Anyways I just accepted I would have to use a different location and pay the fee. They said when my mom goes to use the massage, she will need to give a code instead of her name to use the transfer & I am still not sure what this code is as she did not give it to me.

    I have never experienced more rigamarole and useless policies that make things more difficult for the customer, and at a massage/relaxation business nonetheless! I am not a customer any longer - I will find a cheaper/better hassle free way to get a massage. The massages themselves were good, but not worth the headaches. And just think if the massages had expired I would have lost them - I thought it is now against the law for gift cards to expire and I do not see this as much different when it is paid for in advance, at the very least if you do not use it, you should be able to get your money back.

    My massage and facial were not up to the standard or mediocre. I Do not recommend this establishment to anyone on Staten Island. They provided the absolute worst service both at the front desk. As for the massage therapist and aesthetician they need practice. I've had better services at two different establishments on Staten Island. I had a very bad experience with your customer service. The woman at the front desk took my payment which was in the form of a gift card from my husband and proceeded to tell me that after charging me for the services I only had $9 left. When my husband purchased this gift card he included a 20% tip for both services and when I told the woman at the front desk she advised me that they were probably in the middle of changing rates when he purchased the gift card.

    I am very annoyed and disappointed with the way this was handled by your employee. She was very unprofessional and was not willing to compromise any type of agreement as to tip the ladies. I proceeded to give her $10 in cash and told her to figure out how to tip the masseuse and the aesthetician. My husband goes above and beyond when it comes to tipping, so I know for a fact he left a good tip for the services that were to be provided, but since your establishment decided they were going to charge me the updated service fees your workers lost out!!!!

    I started going to Massage Envy due to a whiplash injury. During my time there, I was offered a membership and was hesitant due to some reviews I had read but with reassurance from the receptionist helping me, it seemed like maybe it would be a good idea. I was given a tablet with questions to answer, and a review of the membership. I remember specifically reading the portion of the cancellation policy provided to me. It stated that I paying month to month and if I wanted to cancel could do so. Cancelling could just take up to 10 business days. Hence couple a weeks before your account is charged. That's what was represented to me when signing and the receptionist revised this with me and never stated I couldn't cancel.

    I lost my job and made this aware to the area manager Jason. He stated instead of cancelling my account, they could just freeze it so I wouldn't be charged (No job no money) and he would call me some time later on to follow up with me and see if I wanted to keep my membership due to my financial situation. I had this conversation toward the end of May.

    It's August 15th now and have never received one call from Jason or anyone at my home clinic. This morning I see on my bank statement a $60 charge from Massage Envy. That was really confusing because I had not spoken with anyone about un-freezing my membership. So I call Jason. No answer and voicemail is full. Tells me he's a manager who doesn't care or follow up if he allows his voicemail to be full. So I call again and he answered. I explained the charge, he was rude and helpful, kept stating he couldn't do anything until he was in the office. I understood that and was just trying to make him aware but he didn't want to listen to anything I had to say.

    He called me an hour later and stated my account was eligible to cancel due to a 12 month contract that I had signed. I explained I didn't sign for a 12 month contract and that was never stated to me that was the obligation. As he kept talking over me I was trying to explain I signed a month to month and no longer want their services and want my membership canceled. He just kept talking over me so finally I had to hang up. I've also requested my medical records 3 separate times and have received nothing. I explained I need these records to settle an insurance claim for my whiplash injury. I have even called the corporate center and left a message and never received a response.

    I have contacted my bank to dispute the charge because with the understanding given to me, my account would not be charged while on freeze and Jason never disclosed to me that is only temporary to have an account on freeze. He never said in a x amount of time, Massage Envy will start to debit your account. I never gave authorization for this charge and I am really frustrated and upset with such careless customer service and fraudulent representation of their policy. At this point it's a nightmare and I wouldn't ever recommend services from Massage Envy.

    I went back about six months ago and said I wanted to use up the massages on my account and was told I would have to sign up again and that many of the ones I had accrued were expired. I had to talk to the manager twice to get them reinstated in a weird way that almost all receptionists don’t understand. I decided to give away all of my other massages on account and was told I have to pay a $10 fee for each one to give them away. It’s a giant racket and not really worth it.

    Started out of the gate and was satisfied with the service. However down the road things begin to deteriorate. Had to make appointments over one month in advance to even come close to a appointment time that fit my schedule. Then begin a series of months where, even after scheduling an appointment a month in advance, they would call and cancel the appointment, another month in advance. Before you knew I had 3 to 5 months credit stacked up. But of course that didn't stop the charges to my credit card.

    Finally I'd had enough. Went to the bank and had the automatic deduction canceled. Then went to, on same day, ME and signed a statement canceling out my "honorable" membership. At that point I still had two months credit of massages. But figured would just bite the bullet. A review of my bank statement a month later revealed that even though I had canceled the membership, at the bank and at ME, somehow they had managed to deduct $130.00 dollars from my account at the end of the month. So that totals out to FOUR massages I paid for but was not able to schedule. Two from the previous credit and two ($130.00) illegal charges to my bank account. A grand total of $260.00. NEVER AGAIN

    I've been a member since 2008. I've been wanting out for years. My employment required me to move often. Nearly every transfer to a new location has involved some issue; one location cancelled my membership instead of transferring it, which would have been great but they didn't advise they were cancelling the membership and that I had a very short time to use up a large number of rolled-over services. Since I wasn't aware (and I could not realistically use that many services in that short a time even if I was aware), I lost the large number of prepaid services I had. I raised Cain and got *most* of my services back.

    I go for several month stretches where I can't come in, and I wanted to freeze my account to allow me to use up a bunch of those accrued services. They do that- "great!" I thought... but it turns out you have to PAY MONEY TO GET THEM TO STOP TAKING YOUR MONEY. There is a fee per month to freeze your account. The website log in allows me only to book; I cannot personally monitor the number of services I've paid for or make sure they're all accounted for. I think this is very deceptive. They're only interested in new members. They're also interested only in selling you product. I refuse to get facials from them any more for this reason; I had tried facials as a way to work down my prepaid so that I could finally leave but the repeated sales pitches turned me off of that in a hurry.

    I had also tried transferring/gifting sessions from my prepaids- they mucked that all up so the recipients never got their sessions and I was out those sessions I had prepaid. So, if you get a membership, you can't get out of it. I've been trying for a while. It's more stress and hassle than it's worth, and while the massages were competitively priced when I started, they're definitely not anymore. As another person noted, with the monthly fee plus gratuity, you really are better off paying for massages as you go, and pay about what you would most anywhere else. I will say the therapists over the years have mostly been great people. I have no issues with the therapists. All of my complaints are directed at their deceptive corporate practices. I would recommend them for single massages, but seriously, stay far away from the membership.

Months later my wife calls to set up an appointment for her 90 min massage and massage envy tells her that since she is in the system as having been there before (which is true since I had gotten her a couple of gift cards from there before) that she did not qualify for the $100 90 minute massage. They tell her that rate was only for new customers. I then went to the store and tried to explain to them that the salesperson never mentioned $100 only for first time customers.

Things have changed drastically in the last couple of years. Therapists were leaving, Managers were leaving, and the front desk staff went from helpful to uninformed and unhelpful. Employees were complaining about not being treated fairly and were leaving. In a word, a disaster!

    Realizing that things were not getting any better (yesterday I received a "mechanical" massage from an unfamiliar therapist), we tried to cancel our memberships. First, we spent over 30 minutes trying to schedule our remaining credits over the allowed 60 days, THEN we were told it will take 10 days to process the cancellation, which would fall a few days after our next monthly payment is charged, which would result in another credit we would have to try to schedule... In spite of all my explanations and pleas as to WHY we were cancelling the memberships, they refused to accommodate. I sent a message to Corporate Customer Service - they don't answer their phone, but not holding my breath on them being helpful.

Sobe location is not what it used to be. Seems from other reviews in the last 6 months they are on a downward spiral anyway. Terrible to see our local spots to lose quality and customer service.

    I signed up for a monthly massage subscription. The massage quality was good. The massages were easy to schedule and the staff treated me well at the facility. About 9 months later, I no longer needed the massages and decided to cancel my membership. The individual answering calls told me I needed to speak with a manager. I would need to wait for the manager to call me back. When she did, I learned I had committed to 12 months and wasn’t allowed to cancel yet. I thought that was a little misleading, as I didn't recall agreeing to a 12-month lockup. They said I also couldn’t give them advance notice of cancelling. I would need to call in and go through this again when my 12 months were up.

    When I called back in at the end of the summer, I again had to wait for the manager to call me back. She never did so I called in again. Finally we got on the phone and she told me I couldn’t cancel yet and that I had to wait for the next month. The following month, the manager told me I needed to sign the official cancellation document, which would take effect in 30 days. Unfortunately I had moved out of the state so I couldn’t go into the location to do this. She sent me the document via email, which I had to print and sign. I sent a picture of it and never heard back. I called back and was told to go into a Massage Envy location and have them fax it in. I went into the location nearest me, explained everything again, and faxed it in. The Orem location said they would confirm receipt but I never heard from them. After calling in a few more times, I received confirmation of receipt and cancellation. I see two main here.

    1. Massage Envy has a burdensome processes to deter customers from cancelling. It is a waste of customers' time and energy.

    2. The Orem franchisee was difficult to communicate with. This compounded the issues with the process.

    DON'T SIGN UP FOR THIS SERVICE!!! This company has done nothing but stress me out since I signed the contract. My initial service was a gift for a friend and myself. That went well. However, the day before the massage, we received a call saying that the therapist was ill. There was no one to help my friend, but my appointment was still open, so I gave it to my friend. Next day friend was suffering so bad with allergies he need to cancel. I lose the $10 fee for a friend, and all 15 massages I had on file, which I couldn't use, because my 40 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer and for two years I was with her until she passed away on October 17, 2018.

    I bought a 12 month wellness program $65 a month last year 2018. I believe in March they're telling me my payment didn't come out until April. I will be checking my bank statement for that discrepancy. I lost my job in May 2018, they wouldn't let me cancel the program but offered to put a 6-month hold on it. So I started paying on the program in November of 2018 and according to their records one month of April 2018 and they are claiming my last payment will be coming out in October. I believe my last payment should be September 2019. I recently didn't realize I had an appointment this April 2019 and it was a no-show no call - my very first one and got charged the full of $65 missed appointment.

    I've been a member with Massage Envy for 2 years ($65/month) and have had no complaints...until now. I have been contemplating cancelling my membership for a few months now because I don't use the services as much as I thought I would. My husband and I decided it was time to cut down some monthly costs due to financial hardship. We just moved to a new state for the military and I (nurse) haven't found a job yet. I have 7 credits (1 hour massages, facials, etc) which is a significant amount - $65 x 7 = $455. So I called to cancel my policy today and learned a few things:

    1. If you cancel your policy, you can still use the remaining credits that you have but you only have 60 DAYS to use them. Anything leftover after that period goes to WASTE. It's simply money that the company takes from you.
    2. You can "freeze" your account if you want to "catch up" on unused credits, but this costs $20/month. Here's what got me - that $20 does NOT go towards credit for you to use in the future. It's simply a FEE that you pay Massage Envy. Once again, the company taking free money.

    3. If you cancel your policy, there are no refunds allowed. Yet again, company taking your money.

    I spoke with a franchise manager for 15 minutes and she agreed that the policies are unfair. She'll be speaking with her general manager to see if there's anything they can waive/change for me. I explained that I'm a nurse and will have income again in the near future and would love to continue using Massage Envy as my place of choice. However, if I'm not granted FAIR customer service, I will never go back there again and I'll write the company. I will edit this review to reflect the outcome of the manager's conversation next week. *Take away advice* Do NOT obtain a membership unless you're going to actually utilize the services every month.

After dealing with the rude daytime/weekday staff there, to include the "manager" or "supervisor", a woman who apparently cares more about controlling staff and customers than retaining a longterm member for the business or even listening to a customer's concern, I'm not even sure if I will use the outstanding massage credit that is still on my account. I'm not sure of the staff's names because the "manager" refused to give them to me.

    I have been trying to redeem a complimentary add on services gift card I received. The back of the card states: “The Massage Envy complimentary card is redeemable when presented at any Massage Envy location.” However, the Shiloh IL location will not honor it. Also, since I signed up for the membership in January, I have not been able to get the same therapist at all, twice, even when trying to schedule out a couple weeks. They always say to schedule out a month. It is hard because of my job to schedule out a month, or even 2-3 weeks in advance.

    The first visit in January, I was told I could use this card, but then they did the membership sales pitch and told me to keep it for any other add-ons. Which I did. Now they are telling me it is only good for the location which is on the front of the card, even though the back specifically says any location. This is very bad business. The person who gave me the complimentary card would never have bought it at a different location if I would not be able to use it at my closest location, so perhaps he was lied to also. I am currently trying to get this resolved with my location, however they are not willing to do anything except say they apologize, I cannot use it there.

    My experience with Massage Envy is lengthy, but they were essentially slimy in every chance they got. Icing on the cake was when I had a massage appointment that the masseuse wasn’t even in the building for, so they stuck me with a different masseuse that gave me the most painful experience I’ve ever had on a massage table. I asked for medium pressure, and didn’t request anything specific to my neck and upper back. Yet, he only worked on my neck and upper back, and he was outrageously rough.

    8 months later, and I still have constant pain in those areas, and it’s all derived from that one experience. I had no neck or upper back pain prior to walking in there. Their owner evaded taking any accountability for this. I complained to their “guest solutions” group, and they also acted slimy and avoided taking any action. I don’t understand how this place is allowed to keep operating. They inflicted permanent damage on my body, and basically shrugged about it while licking their fingers to count my cash.

I had 2-3 good therapists over the last few years who gave an excellent massage, but they were undervalued by their respective locations. Then the prices went up, and I didn't mind at the time, I still had a good therapist, so ok. Well that all changed when I moved pretty far away from the nearest M.E.

    I kept Auto Paying, hoping to use them again, and saving them for when I was close by one. And I moved again, and I decided to CANCEL my membership. Apparently that's easier said than done. If you cancel, you have 3 months or so to use up your massages or you lose them, or you can pay a lower fee to freeze the account just enough to save those, but not accumulate more. Ok, sounds good. I tried it. Didn't like it. So I said close the account. Well, they didn't close it, so I told the credit card to stop payment. Well, they decided I owed them money anyways, even though I had 8 paid massages ($500+) on the books, that I was going to lose. They tried billing me, sent me 8 letters in the mail, all within the same week, then sent my account to COLLECTIONS for a technically "SUBSCRIPTION" service in the amount of $190.

    Updated on 03/08/2019: It’s been 4 days since I went to an appt (3/05/2019) at Massage Envy in Springfield, and the male manager did my service. I’m still in pain. He injured my neck, it hurts on a scale of 7 every time I move it. He pressed very very hard down on my spine across the area where I had surgery in 2012. Then over the area I have a pacemaker. I thought for sure he could feel it, since it is noticeable but I guess he just didn’t pay any attention to it. I’m 73, I don’t need these pains. My legs and hip hurt from where he squeezed/pressed too hard, and my feet he just pressed in with fingers not with fist or palm of his hand. The pain was noticeable to him because I verbally and physically acknowledged pain at the time. He didn’t ease up. The only thing this visit was good for is if you wanted to be punished for being alive. I’d like to know how to go about making an official complaint against him and his lic.

    Original Review: To start I called and made an appt for the $34. 1 hour they have posted in the front window. When I arrived, I’m guessing he is the manager since he was telling others what to do. I haven’t a clue where he might have gotten certified as a massage therapist. There wasn’t any rhythm or pattern to his method, there was no constant touch. He would start on a shoulder then go to the opposite leg, all over, just no sequence. No gentle starting in an area just extremely harsh. Even right on the spine which I know they don’t do. I hurt worse today than I did before going there. Then it came time to pay. Well I was charged $39. Instead of $34. Then I put a tip. I won’t be returning to that place even with a free gift certificate.

I got a returned phone call and they left a message saying that although I have not been given the information yet, there is a 50% reschedule/cancellation fee and a 100% no show fee.

    I have been very pleased with my Massage Envy experience, and, from reading these reviews, can only surmise that it is because of the manager at the Burke, Virginia store. I bought a membership for myself and my daughter. Mine is $10 more a month, they give you a discount for the second. I have had these memberships nearly 10 years. I had to have surgery, etc., so I missed a ton of monthly massages. Since they allow you to bank them, I wasn't too concerned, but finally went in to redeem them, and since I had so many to redeem, I wanted to turn a lot of them into guest massages and give as gifts. My daughter was in grad school at the time, and I wanted to gift to her classmates, as well as family members. So I told her to ask who wanted them, and I would need their names and addresses. She did so, and got about 10 people who wanted a free massage. I also included my family members.

    Because I had so many massages left, the Burke, VA manager not only allowed me to redeem all these massages at once, she also allowed me to give each person TWO Free massages! And she waived the $10 fee per guest. The store filled out the gift card for each person (it is a paper card, similar to a postcard) and wrote TWO Massages or something informative like that at the top, also with the person's name. People have had no trouble redeeming them, and these kids live all over the country now.

    It is difficult to get an appointment unless you go 2 weeks out. I gave 4 stars because this is annoying. It is also annoying because the people they employ at the desk to schedule appointments seem to be somewhat unaware of what's going on when you call. I prefer to make my appts online. They opened a new Massage Envy much closer to me, and I have had No Problem switching between the stores for my appointments. As far as my appointments go, I have had massages, stretch, hot stone and facials. I like a fairly firm/hard massage, and the therapists are very accommodating with this. They always ask if it is hard enough, if I want something different, if I have areas they should work on more, etc. I have not had any issues in this area.

    I would not recommend the stretch if you had recent surgery. I thought I would be ok since my surgery was 4 months ago, but it is still too soon, and it was painful and of course stretching me, which I am still having issues with. The hot stone is fantastic. The facials are too, and I look so great for the week I get them. Anyway, there seem to be a lot of negative reviews on this site, so I thought I'd share my experience. I will let you know if I try to cancel and how that goes, because that seems to be the major issue on this site. But in my experience, so far, so good.

    I would like to question the cancellation charge policy of Massage Envy: I have been a monthly paying member of massage envy for years. I cancelled my appointment one time as there was a personal emergency that I could not avoid. I was charged Cancellation Fees! However, however- check out the double standards on how they handle clients. I have been canceled twice by their therapists the same day, actually within couple of hours of appointment. No follow up call asking to reschedule. No credits or favors for messing up my schedule. Yes, I am a very busy working professional where my time is as precious as their therapists. Just the way I am charged for cancellation, should I not be charging them???

    I bought a gift card to Massage Envy at the Sandy, UT store for my wife. I was told for an hour massage it was $50 so I loaded $50 dollars on the gift card. When she went to use it she was told it would be another $25. I called the store very next day to speak with the manager however the manager was not in so I left a message for the manager to call me back. A week later a no call so I called back. Manager was not in. I was told the manager called me back and refunded the $25 which was a lie because I did check with my bank. This went on for a month. I finally was able to can a hold of the manager and she refunded the $25 after I threw a fit. I also cancel my membership. I will never go back there again.

    I was very hesitant to sign up because I don't get massages enough to use it and have had bad experienced before whenever doing memberships and wanting to cancel. They assured me I could cancel whenever I want and that I would not even have to go to the store to do so which I explained to them that is the only way I will sign up because I do not want to go through a hassle just to cancel. SO of course I signed up when they promised me all of that. Couple months later I decided to gift one of my sessions because they the girls that signed me up told me I could do that if I don't use it. Then I find out I will be charged $10 for gifting it which I thought was pretty dumb since they said I could gift the sessions I don't use and never informed me I would have to pay for that when I signed up.

    I decided to call in and cancel my membership and the lady tells me I have to come in to do so. Now that really surprised me since I was promised I would not have to. I went in on a Saturday 1/05/2019 filled out a forum to request a cancellation and was advised I'd be contacted in 48 hours by manager. I did get contacted until Friday in which she told me I cannot cancel to September. That's 8 months from now! What a joke! I will be contacting corporate.

    My brother-in-law who is a member, sent me a free massage point about 6 months ago. I call in and they told me my point was good to go and my appointment had been scheduled. I go in to get the massage and after they tell me the point I had was invalid. My brother-in-law cancelled his account about two months earlier and since he did that the point I had in my account was invalid.
    .

    My brother-in-law paid for that point and paid the 10 dollar transfer to me as a birthday gift. I had no idea he had canceled his account and that it would have an effect on the point I had. The price of the massage was 100 bucks! That is insane! No sane person would pay that for a dump like Massage Envy. They were very rude about the situation and gave me no solution to fix it. The staff refused to let me talk to a manager. I'm never going to Massage Envy ever again and my sister who also had an account there will be cancelling her account too. This is the Massage Envy in Anaheim Hills, CA

    I became a Massage Envy subscriber a while back, but then like a lot of people, I got busy and massages began to build up. Management agreed to let my fiance and I use the massages to catch up if I wouldn't cancel my membership. In December the franchise ownership changed and they are changing the deal. I have over $1000 in massages backlogged. If I quit because they reneged, they will keep the money. They said they could pause and let me use up the massages I already paid for... For an additional $20 a month. Do NOT sign up for the subscription and if you ever find yourself getting even one month behind... CANCEL!! A main profit source comes from keep the dollars you paid for massages without having to pay the therapist. $1000 in my case, unless I pay $20/mo until they are used up.

    If you are not a member, don’t become one. My location shut down with no notice to me. I found out from another member and have been trying to get information on how to use unused ME sessions. I have called the “closed location” telephone number provided by the Gaithersburg, MD location (**) and sent an email to closedclinicmailbox@massageenvy.com as recommended. I have received no response from anyone. This is a pathetic way to do business! Perhaps they need some more lawsuits filed against them.

    The receptionists are ambiguously rude. Like even if you say hello with a smile they don’t even say hello and just check you in. I was kind of ok with it because the therapists were nice. Today, they did a ** job on scheduling for me. I was supposed to get a session at 3:30pm and I got an email confirming the same right after I booked online. Then they confirmed an appointment at 3:15pm all of a sudden by email just a couple days ago. And yesterday, they reconfirmed the wrong schedule via text. So I replied, “I think it’s 3:30pm?” then they replied “I have you scheduled at 3:15pm.”

    That was it. No attempt to investigate what happened or no regrets about this misunderstanding. Till they finally say “sorry”, I had to prove that I booked for a 3:30pm and learned how ** their system works (basically saying “it’s not our fault). Even after apologizing, they offered no solution. I asked if I can still go there by 3:30 or what. Just because they didn’t want me to have a shortened massage, I was told to cancel it.

    I happened to talk to a manager on the phone. It was very frustrating to make her understand that the reaction sounded like they accused me on the wrong scheduling and tried to make an excuse and explain what happened on the system instead of expressing regrets or solving the problem here. She kept saying it’s the system and they cannot control it. And she seriously didn’t know why the reaction could offend customers. Whenever I pointed out how they could sound hostile, she declaimed “So we apologize for the inconvenience later TWICE.” or “ So we explained that we couldn’t control the issue” over and over. Do I need to know how ** their system is? I just don’t get it. Can’t they just say sorry and give me some other options? I am so sick of them.

    When I moved from California to Washington State I attempted to use membership in Washington but soon realize that this is complicated because your home clinic controls a lot of your membership and the clinic here in Washington could do little to help. I attempted to cancel membership in Bakersfield, Ca clinic and the manager of that store was very uncooperative. I contacted corporate office but have not been able to speak to anyone there. This business is shaky at best. Business practices are terrible, customer service is nonexistent. I will never use Massage Envy again! Beware!

    I had a membership that I wanted to cancel. I had over 11 massages to use up within 2 months or so. I began breaking out in a rash on my back around the same time I began these massages so each week actually became stressful and I couldn’t wait to be done with them. Last week after my massage it knew I had 1 left, but specifically asked to double check. The receptionist confirmed this, so I made my last appointment. Today when I went to check out I was told I owed money. I had a whole argument because I NEVER would have come in if I didn’t have any massages left. The massage was even less than it should have, which tells me someone screws around with their system. My father also had “credits” taken out without his knowledge and lost a massage out of it. I never write reviews but this experience tonight left me so unbelievably pissed off because it was their mistake not mine. Horrible company and customer service!!!

    I always believe that nothing or no one can be as terrible as others say, however, in this case I was wrong. Massage Envy is the WORST experience anyone could have. It's amazing that for a place that is supposed to provide relaxation and relief it only amplifies your stress level. Myself and my husband had a membership when the Pikesville location was open. The staff and service was really good. We are super busy and the location was perfect, less than 5 minutes from home. Unfortunately they closed and there began my hellish experience.

    On September 10, 2018 I submitted as instructed 2 completed cancellation forms. I was informed it would take 10 days to process and the manager would contact me. Please note that at the time my husband had 19 unused sessions and I had 9. I was told we had to use them by December 1, 2018. After doing what I thought I needed to do I forgot about it then I noticed that every week Massage Envy was attempting to deduct payments from the credit card I had on file. I contacted the Owings Mills location (the location that memberships were transferred to) and was told the manger would return my call. That happened at least 3 times and of course the manager never called me.

    On one occasion I called the Owings Mills location and was told I needed to make one month's payment to have my membership closed as it was in a suspended state, so I did. I thought that was it, I was sooo WRONG. The following week attempts were made to deduct more funds from my card. I called the location again and I was told I needed to make a payment for October, despite cancellation from September and not having used the services in months. I paid my credit card and of course Massage Envy deducted the payment.

    On the Eve of Thanksgiving 2018 I contacted the Massage Envy corporate office (Theresa). This was facilitated via Capital One (my credit card company) as I was in the process of having my card blocked. We spoke at length and she was apologetic and promised to resolve the issue and call me within an hour. I forwarded the cancellations forms also. Thanksgiving came and went. Theresa never called, I sent emails and she never responded. I called her earlier last week and she feigned shock that the manager at Owings Mills hadn't called and resolved the issue. Note, this call was because I noticed that Massage Envy made additional attempts to deduct monies from my card.

    As I write today it is obvious the matter has not been resolved as today, December 2, 2018, 3 months after cancellation and approximately 6 months since I last used the services of Massage Envy they have attempted to deduct monies from my card again. I am beyond furious. I have no choice but to close my credit card account as Massage Envy seeks to fraudulently make deductions from my account. My advice to anyone is do not sign a contract with Massage Envy if you must use their service do not provide any credit card info for their files as they are extremely unprofessional, exhibit poor management and customer service skills.

    Massage Envy has one of the worst membership policies I have ever seen in my life. DO NOT SING a CONTRACT with them. I lived in DC for 8 months, I signed up for a 12 months contract with them while living there. All of a sudden the USAF moved me to Tacoma, WA and my lifestyle totally changed without expecting it. I called Silver Spring Massage Envy to cancel my subscription and they WOULD NOT do it. Only two reasons would allow you to do that: live more than 25 miles away from a ME or medical reasons. It is AWFUL, Now I am trapped with them for 7 months: 80 dollars a month. Even the manager showed no understanding of what an unexpected 3000 miles move means. A shame. Go to Hands and Stone, better deals, better prices, same services and they DO NOT require a contract.

    This is in reference to the Massage Envy in Alta-Arden in Sacramento, CA. I wish I could give zero stars if possible. I never had a problem with the services I received until I needed to cancel my membership. My 12 month contract had already been fulfilled so I was within our agreement of canceling with no additional fees. Canceling is not as easy as it would seem with them. I was told by the front desk that only the manager can process my cancellation and that there is a 10 day processing for a cancellation to go through. I called on a Monday and left a message. I went into the business on Tuesday and left another message for the manager. I called and left a message again on Wednesday, no return call. I ended up having to call my bank to have a stop payment completed for this business because it seemed like no one would ever cancel my membership.

    I finally received a form on Thursday for canceling the membership via email, which I promptly walked in to submit personally that same day. I requested a copy of this form, which the receptionist said would take 10 days for the manager to complete (the manager was in the back office, I heard them talking. Mind you, the form only required her signature - it was not a lengthy document.

    Today I received an email from the director that my request for canceling has been denied because this month's payment did not go through. This does not make sense to me that they would deny my request for canceling, even though I fulfilled my 12 month contract. There was no information given to me that there are additional fees required for cancellation even after my contract has been fulfilled. I checked the history of Massage Envy online and it seems there are multiple lawsuits and unhappy customers from various locations. They definitely engage in some shady business practices.

    I have been going to Massage Envy for many years. I have had good experiences with my massage therapists. I try to get the same therapist as customer service does when rescheduling, but sometimes a fluke happens and I get another massage therapist, which usually works out for me. The only complaint that I have is that they are not always good about calling to remind me about appointments, which usually results in me missing my appointment and I have to pay for the missed session. I don't think that that's a fair practice.

    I have been a member of Massage Envy since 2011 out of the Goodyear, AZ location. Always received topnotch service, therapists, massage, experience. Recently located to MN. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE IN MN. The locations in Burnsville, Apple Valley and Eagan are poorly run, can't get in to see therapists, locations can't keep therapists. When you call to make appt they ask if you are member or guest. Guests get 1st dibs on appts so paying members keep paying and can't get in.

    Last summer when in MN I put my membership on hold because couldn't get in for over 2 months while "guests" could. This summer, since arriving in April, I've received 3 massages in 7 months because therapists move, rotate, leave, no appointments. I am paying $65/mo for a service I can't use. When expressing dissatisfaction to staff, all they are able to say is "I'm sorry." No solutions offered unless you want to wait 3 months for next available appt. But, they keep signing on new members who seem to be able to get in. HUGE difference between AZ service and MN. DONT DO IT!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!
