Had a chance to try Tan/Han (says Tan on website but he goes by Han) last week.
I’ll start with a few critical notes: the manhattan studio had a bit more of a cheap massage parlor vibe and less like a spa, and didn’t feel private at all. For example the music was playing from one central speaker for all the massage rooms and reception area, so there was no sense of sound proofing. also my biggest qualm, the massage table was covered in tissue paper and not fresh towels. Tissue paper is uncomfortable and sticks to the skin like a doctors office, feels cheap.
it was 210 for a 90 minute massage and tip was requested, didn’t feel worth this price at all. Zero sensual touch. Had me face down the entire 90 minutes. I actually don’t prefer HE but sensual touch can be wonderful and it was only therapeutic.
he was very warm and nice and def had some moments during the massage where there was great therapeutic work and pressure.
the face cradle had a bar or something at the chin that was very uncomfortable too.
He was very nice and definitely had some good technique in terms of the massage. I really wanted to like this but as I write this review I find myself realizing, "What the heck happened?" And feel I overpaid. I know some other pros with private studios or MMX who do an A+ wonderful 90 minutes for $200
