I really don’t love Energy Mens spa. It’s dark, dingy, and has an odd smell.
In fact, I have avoided it for about 5/6 years, last time being when it was called something else. That was until last month when I decided to check out Alven based on suggestions. Experience was great first time, so I but the bullet and went back again today.
Not only did they push me back 30 minutes when I called to make the appointment, after agreeing to one time. When I got there, they told me I had to come back at 4 PM- pushing me back another 30 minutes.
Normally I can be patient and figure out something to do, but today was raining, I’d already shifted things around to make the first 30 minute delay work and I had other things to do. So to be pushed another 30, after spending (rain surge) money on an uber to get there on time, I was super aggro about it all. And the worst part is that they didn’t care. Like at least call and say “we need another 30” so I don’t feel the need to rush to be on time. Essentially just a shrug.
Ended up with Charlie- decent massage and extras BUT tip negotiations started right at the point of the flip over. So overall - I remembered why I avoid it. Super bummer of an experience- especially when I had something specific in mind.
